Map mod: Contains Forsaken Master

It could be one mod that contains a random unspecified master or another mod that rolls a specified master, or both.

I haven't put much thought into how rare it should be or how it should be implemented but I like the idea of it. If adding the mod to the main map mod pool is too much then it could be only on maps sold by Zana or by using her map device. It could be a unique map mod, or a mod that can be rolled on corrupting an unidentified rare map or something.

I just want to see this map mod somewhere.

Aren't map mods only ever bad/neutral?

Seeing as Masters are entirely optional content, this should only be a mod if it didn't alter anything else (no bonus item quantity, and only detracted from the number of total mods on the map).

In any case, masters can be encountered often enough that I don't think this is needed.
i think it would be better "map contains corrupted zone"
i find it wrong that you have to farm the end game boss in boring low level zones

Im pretty sure Masters would go in the same "neutral" category as +Magic Monsters, +Rares, +Exiles, +Pack Size.
It is true they make a map more dangerous, but the payout can exceed the risk.
Vorici spawning a potentially lethal exile or bad Haku mission could easily count as "added risk" required of a mod.

I could see something along the lines of
Prefix: Eventful - Contains a Corrupted zone or Master
or (not and)
Suffix: of Adventure - Contains a Corrupted zone or Master
The likehood of finding a master in a map is like...50%.
There are seven masters so the likehood of finding one is like 7% (I guess).

Why would someone need the mod?

...to guarantee they meet a master instead of relying on chance and running whole maps without seeing one master?? It's not that hard to grasp man...

imo, simply containing a master wouldn't be a negative mod and would allow everyone to just farm masters to lv8 with raindbows and butterflies. So it'd have to come with a consequence, like perhaps hybrid mod with an additional negative effect (what say a timed map). Or perhaps make the mod give negative quality, like -20% quality on map, or make it so map quality won't go above 0%. So yes people can't still alt spam to farm masters but not without ruining the rest of the map.
