Lvl 77, out of maps, Back to docks? yea right

I estimated about 700 maps if 75 maps gave a base of 10m exp for a full clear. That rounded down to 667 if you had a Chitus on, or 609 if you had a Chitus and two Supreme Truths. However, I do not know the average of a 75 map.

If you find the game that boring then changing the map drop rates, or whatever, won't change anything.

Running maps provide a better chance at good items and help with levelling, which is a priority when you're 75+ and you get basically no XP from "normal" areas... while still the same game, at least there's a chance for good rewards.

And this is the incentive for farming for maps if you don't have any.

Because I'm forced to and out of alternatives lol. The maps being so scarce and all, I kept all mine and shamelessly run other people's maps in PUGs. Maybe when I'll get some 20+ maps I'll start using mine... maybe I'll even try the one with 40-ish Chaos damage/sec I rolled (after I gain a new level...) - just for the lulz.

Getting no map drops is getting really depressing really fast.

I want to do even lvl 66 maps only, better than no maps.

Frustratingly going to bed because I can't be forced to run another level 66 map.

The insult leading up to my decision to log out for the night included:

Running a maze/15+% Vaal Pyramid and getting no maps.
Running 2 67 maps, both with high 30-low 40% quantity, getting no maps in either.
Finishing out the night with a 43% level 66 map since that's all I had left, and getting no maps.

I've made it to level 85 on a vast majority of level 66 maps, and it's EXTREMELY tiresome and boring. The few times when I got jackpot rolls and was allowed to "progress" (I use this term very loosely) up the map level hierarchy, I was brutally let down (needless to say the level 70-73 rare maps I ran included a mixture monster pack size / increased area / maze or over 90% quantity, chiseled to 20% quality), only to result in no maps dropping a couple times in a row and tanking back to level 66 maps and rage logging.

It's a very vicious trend, out of the 25% or so I ground out today, I never got higher than a lvl 69 map, running the best quantity and map mods you can get. 25% is at least 20-25 maps at my level.

Something is wrong.

hmm still level 70 and found only 1 66map which i didnt use yet, so when im thinkig of another week farming docks i think i take a break for a while xP

I have now got another level over the past few days, 3 to be precise. I have run 14 maps (12 lvl66, 2 lvl67) out of which I have gotten 8 new maps (6 lvl 66, 2 lvl 67). I have spend considerable amount of time farming in Lunaris 2 & 3 with occasional Dock farm to break monotony--or when desync was too bad to risk Lunaris temple. I have found 1, ONE, lvl66 map outside of maps during this grind.

It is obvious that you cant realistically expect to grind enough maps for yourself from static areas. You have to rely on drops in maps where the chance is higher but my experience, limited, shows that even running maps will not reliably provide sustainable supply of maps.

Chiseling and rolling maps is extremely expensive. Even trying to just roll proper mods on lvl66 maps is getting difficult. I have stopped going for maze/massive at all times because I simply run out of Alteration orbs.

I still have 20 odd maps in my stash but the amount is dwindling every day I run more than few maps.


I wish there were 2 or 3 static areas of at least lvl65 where you can grind. Maps designed for this purpose, no quests, no story, just randomly generated map and mobs to kill.

getting sick of farming act 3

the maps are owsome ( the map drops are not )

a way to get low lvl 66 maps faster should be added ) vendor or from end bosses what every )

did 26 maps all qhit quantity over 40% ( only 1 map droped )

its frustrating as hell

lvling from 70 to 72 in barrack / docks / solaris no map drops is fu

My ranger has been stuck on lvl 82 for over a week now because I can't find maps anymore.

Today I spent about an hour grinding lunaris with a 8k damage EK, I one shot everything
and its just so sad that I can't even do endgame content because of the broken drop mechanics.

I think GGG is trying to force high lvl players to group or something because that is the
only way I can see maps dropping at a higher than 1:1 ratio.

A couple days ago I spent a big chunk of my chaos/alch orbs for 3 69maps which I rolled
at least 30% or higher quanity mod before running and with a 33% quanity support gem too
and those maps ended lasting me a day before running out. With over 60% quantity and that
still couldn't give me a 1:1 return on maps, something is seriously broken here.

Anyways, if your a solo player take heed, DO NOT level your char past 75 ish because
at some point your map return rate will fall below 1:1 because of some sort of level penalty
which will eventually caues you to run out of maps and be locked out of endgame content.

Solo player checking in.

Lvl81 now and around 30 maps in stash.

Most are lvl66 maps which are now useless in terms of XP. Would have no problem selling them but people don't seem to be asking for them in trade chat.

Progression hasn't really slowed as yet, (could still get a lvl in a day if pushed), but I'm saving my level 70+ maps for later.
