My Map Journey
|
Edit: I've stopped playing this character due to the end of anarachy / release. I've logged about 200 maps, with drops and xp. If you find it interesting, enjoy :)

Map runs so far:
(Updated every 5 map runs) Level 66: 50 Level 67: 40 Level 68: 50 Level 69: 29 Level 70: 16 Level 71: 10 Total: 195
Current Map Pool
Level 66: 33 Level 67: 12 Level 68: 2 Level 69: 1 Level 70: 1 Level 71: - Level 72: 1 Level 73: 1
Current Map Currency
This is all the currency I got out of maps (including chrome, chaos & 6S recipe) and that I re-invest to roll them. This also includes the "Initial Investment" Currency (see Foreword in 2nd post). I won't include orbs of transmutation, augmentation, glasblowers, blacksmiths & armourers scraps as you usually can't find anybody buying them. From time to time I will exchange/trade those orbs that I can't use to roll maps.        "Fixing the endgame was hard - No matter how hard we buffed red maps, people would keep spamming Gorges.

Foreword
Since I'm about to start running maps with my new CI claw shadow, I thought it might be nice to start a sort of diary about how much currency I spend on maps, and how many map drops I get from which maps... I'll start with 20 Level 66 maps and some orbs of alteration (40) /augmentation (30) /transmutations (40) that I still have from my lvl 86 cleave duelist. Total worth of maps & those orbs is about 10 chaos. I'll keep the maps, the currency I use to roll them and the currency I get out of them in a stash tab separate from all my other loot. I run the Maps solo, with neglectable IIR / IIQ (16%/0% atm) and (usually) fully clear them and open all containers. I'll record the maps, currency and rings/belts (for chaos recipe) that drop and also the xp I gained.
Mapping Milestones
50 Level 66 Map Runs - Moving on to Level 67
After running 50 level 66 maps, I had about 45 Chaos worth of currency and 21 maps (level 67/68). If you'd substract the initial investment of maps & currency (~10 chaos) that would mean I got about 35 chaos and 21 maps out of these runs...
Map Pool
Level 66: none Level 67: 14 Level 68: 7
30 Level 67 Runs - Moving on to Level 68
Total Map Runs = 80
Maps
Total: 35 Level 66: 12 Level 67: none Level 68: 15 Level 69: 8
100 Maps run: 50x66, 30x67, 20x68
After 100 Maps I had an equivalent of about 70 Chaos and 38 maps (only 16 that were level 68+).
Map Pool
Total: 38 Level 66: 18 Level 67: 4 Level 68: 2 Level 69: 12 Level 70: 2
120 Map Runs - Moving on to Level 69 maps
Currency ~ 90 Chaos Map Pool: Level 66: 25 Level 67: 1 Level 68: 2 Level 69: 14 Level 70: 3
154 Map Runs - Moving on to Level 70 maps
I ran out of 68s and 69s and will move on to Level 70 maps. Would've liked to save up for a few more 70s/71s first though. Will continue running any 68+ maps that drops. Currency: ~ 105 Chaos Map Pool: Level 66: 28 Level 67: 6 Level 68: - Level 69: - Level 70: 9 Level 71: 3
171 Map Runs - Moving on to Level 71 Maps
Seems like I'm slowly running out of maps. I'll still run all 68+ maps I find, but will most likely be forced to buy maps (don't really want to start at level 66/67 again)... Currency: ~115 Chaos Map Pool: Level 66: 30 Level 67: 8 Level 68: - Level 69: - Level 70: - Level 71: 8

Pretty nice maplog!
Maybe you could record Experience gained? | |
" Thanks! Would that really be interesting to know? Just asking because it obviously is different for everyone (depending which level you are)...

" It might be if you post the level your character was at, So people can see how much experience you can gain from each map at each level. Another quick question, are you full clearing each map? | |
|
Okay, will include the %xp :)
Yes, full clear for each map and I open all chests/urns/... I find. All maps are played solo.
