Is it just me or are Maps rarer than ever? (1.2)

I bought a bunch of lvl70 maps thinking I was just having bad luck but now I'm back to 60s. I chiseled, added vaal fragments and rolled them well to only get 0 maps in most of them.

Maps have only gotten massively easier to maintain with the latest expansion. Zana and cartographers make it complete easy mode.

I assume you got unlucky over a few maps but it's really easy to maintain. Been running all my highest maps consistently and any badluck is remedied by Zana.

Zana just adds 8% at most to maps or is there something else?

She frequently appears in maps which means you get to run an additional map within a map. These maps have actually become the main way I have progressed into high maps.

She also provides a daily quest assuming you have her in your hideout. Currently she lets me run level 73 maps as her daily quest. Within her daily quests she has a daily that requires you to find a map. This pretty much means you have a 100% chance to get a mapdrop from that daily.

I also didn't mention other masters. Many provide additional enemies or separate zones(haku) that also give additional chances to get maps.
I've run 50+ maps and have only seen her a few times. Are there certain maps she appears in?

It's still RNG and it wont make a huge difference. I've ran 5 75 maps, all chiseled with good rolls with 0 map drop in a row.
It's the usual variance. Yesterday my mapping was awful, getting no maps from deadly ~100% ones, today I've already doubled the 71 & 72 pool.

Even if GGG did / would slightly nerf droprates, Zana helps a lot. I've had some insane drops in her maps, on top of her guaranteed missions.

What level map, does Zana end up selling btw?

My luck with her have been shitty, but overall mapping have become easier to sustain.

I have her at lvl 5 now and she's selling a few 69 (2 alc blue, 3 alc rare). Totally not worth it, as sustaining sub 70 is a joke. She prob. sells even higher maps at higher lvl, but everything will be way overpriced, compared to trading (and youll be doing 78s, when she sells 71s).

ok, I was hoping she would be offering 75's or something at one point at a reasonable price. Prolly not.
