Treasure Maps

Treasure Maps are Legendary-tier misc items that mark the location of hidden chests placed across the archipelago before the current troubles. Reading one reveals a pin on the player's world map; sailing to the marked island and digging at the indicated spot rewards the chest's contents.

Maps are single-use: the pin is cleared once the chest has been opened, and the paper is consumed from inventory.

Blackbeard's Crew Maps

The signature series is a set of nine maps drawn by Blackbeard's crew during their raids. Each belongs to a different crew member and points to a distinct cache on a specific island. Collecting and cashing in all nine is a long-running exploration goal and the basis of a dedicated Blackbeard Treasure Maps article.

Each cache rewards a mix of Piastre, raw materials, and occasionally a unique cosmetic or recipe paper. See Blackbeard Treasure Maps for the full loot tables and island locations.

How to Obtain

• Dropped by Blackbeard's named crew members and lieutenants during ship-to-ship encounters.

• Found in rare loot tables of arsenal chests unlocked with the Arsenal Key.

• Occasionally purchased from Smugglers of Port Royal at high reputation.

Tips

• Maps do not expire. A player can hold the full nine-map set indefinitely and cash them in on one dedicated voyage.

• Chest contents are fixed per map, not random. If the spoiler tables are consulted, low-value maps can be sold to smugglers instead of cashed in.

• Bring a shovel or the appropriate digging tool. The dig spot will not yield the chest otherwise.
