I rolled all my (few) maps to at least +40% item quantity.

But if you've read this thread right, I haven't been complaining about the drop rate of maps inside of maps, but about the map drop rate OUTSIDE of maps, IE in level 63-64 "farming areas", which there is only one of really considering all the others are either lower level or inconvenient to farm.

IIQ isn't all that matters.

I would also like to complain about map drops. I really love the map system, how you can have map items that you roll for different stats and features and (in theory) you can do harder ones for better rewards (note, in practice that doesn't actually feel like it works).

But the map drop system is pretty terrible. I can't afford to alch them all over 100 item quantity, it's hard enough affording to transmute them over 30 or a maze or increased area mod. If I engaged in more trade I guess that would be easier, but I didn't want to play Auction House Tycoon on a game that had an auction house, certainly don't want to try it here.

Than go farm.

Seems like a great time to re-impliment an improved version of Maelstrom of Chaos to suppliment maps. Have it be level 64 and offer increased item quantity for each chaos gate progressed through up to a 5-10 gate cap.

Such a move would only be met with praise, i guarantee it.

This is the best solution, IMO. Add some map-like (i.e., randomized) endgame zone at a slightly lower level than entry level maps. They could even make that increased quantity bonus specifically weighted toward map drops, so running this 'pre-map' maelstrom style zone would be a quick way to get back into the map endgame.

there, fixed.

WTB Dev insight into what they think on this issue. Did 3 full Lunaris 2/3 runs today, 0 maps, 0 rares worth anything, best orb I found was a chromatic. I simply cannot progress in this game anymore, and I would like to very much.
