Overview

Notorious Thief's Map Piece 1 is a treasure-map document in Crimson Desert. It is the first piece in the Notorious Thief map set and points toward a location that must be identified from surrounding landmarks.
The item description does not give a direct coordinate or named destination. Treat it as a clue item: keep the piece, compare the illustrated landmarks in-game, and avoid assuming a final dig spot until the location has been reproduced.

How to Obtain
The confirmed source for Notorious Thief's Map Piece 1 is a Bandit drop. Current map-tracking data also connects the item to a bandit defeated during Haunted Hill Camp liberation, so check bandit-related camp cleanup before looking for vendors or random document spawns.
The older generic claim that this document can be bought from merchants or found through unspecified exploration is not supported by the reviewed item data. Until a second source is verified in-game, use the Bandit drop as the reliable acquisition path.
Treasure Clue Notes
The map text says the surrounding landmarks should identify the location. Use the drawing as a visual clue rather than a quest marker.
No confirmed final dig location is recorded for Piece 1 alone. Do not mark a treasure site as solved unless the exact spot has been tested with a Shovel and produces loot.
Keep Notorious Thief's Map Piece 2 and Notorious Thief's Map Piece 3 with this item if you are checking whether the full set reveals a clearer route.
