UO Second Age

Hope this is the right place to ask...

I've collected a few treasure maps from various things, but I am not sure how to know what level they are? Can I itemID them? Do I need a cartographer? Unfortunately I didn't keep track of what they dropped off of, however I could narrow them down to some mobs.

Anything I can do to figure this out?

Thanks

What mobs? Unfortunately I have the same problem, but I happen to know what a few mobs drop in terms of map levels.
I have over forty maps stashed up. I'm sure 90% of them are level 4s since my hunting areas have been limited to just a few places. You might want to browse for an answer in the old stratics site. I'll see if I can find a link

Woops wrong link, sorry.

if you don't pay attention to what drops it then you can't tell what level it is for sure. If you attempt to decode it and it says "you fail to decode the map " (over your head) and you don't get a system message then its a level 1 because at 0.0 cartography you can decode a level 1. if you get "you fail to decode" + a system message bout it being to difficult then its a lvl 2-5. outside of that you need to know what monsters dropped it an what levels they can drop, some drop more then one ex: liches drop 1's and 3's, lockpicking chest seem to drop random maps of any level.

Indeed. If only there were an era accurate table floating out there showing tmap monster drops. All I find is the updated crap post Aug 2001.

Map Level - Monsters
1 - Earth Elementals, Ettins, Evil Mage, Gargoyles, Gazers, Liches, Ogres, Ophidian Enforcers, Ophidian Warriors, Orcs, Orc Lords, Orc Mages, Terathan Warriors, and Trolls.

5 - Ancient Wyrms, Balrons, Blood Elementals, Ophidian Matriarchs, Poison Elementals and Titans.
Monsters in ( ) need to be confirmed, if you claim any maps from these monsters please delete ( ) and/or adjust it to correct level.

+ some adjustments like i mentioned

Thank you. This helps a ton.

Also you can find tmaps in the chests that are used for training lockpicking (aka level 4 chests in dungeons). The tmap that you receive reflects the level of chest it was attained from, so if you get a map from a level 4 chest, it will be a level 4 map.

Unfortunately this is false. You get random maps out of lvl 4 chests. Most of the ones I've gotten are lvl 1.
