Danger and adventure
Treasure maps
In every tavern you can buy scraps of maps that lead to buried purses.
- Buy one
In a tavern, talk to the innkeeper > Buy a treasure map (60 groschen), or use
/treasure buy. You can hold one map at a time, and it is good for two days. - Read it
It names the area - a direction from a town and a landmark nearby - and marks a rough spot on your compass: the chest is within about forty paces of the mark.
- Find the chest
Search the chests and caches out in the wilds around the mark. It is always a real chest, never a sack, a barrel or a beehive. Open the right one and you find a buried purse inside (take it before you go): about 110 groschen near a town, up to about 270 far out in the wilds, and one time in twenty three times that. Once in a long while, the chest also holds one of the game's quest relics (see the forge).
- Or give it up
A map you cannot or will not follow can be abandoned: F2 > My belongings, on the map's card, Abandon (a second click confirms). Its price is not given back, but you may buy a new map at once instead of waiting for the old one to run out.
