    You can currently get several maps dropped from the same boss though. That means sometimes you are getting 4 or more pages as opposed to just 1. On average the reward is 32 times better than what it is outside of 2x.

    yes you can, because the sever counts the drop 2 times instead of once example for a map 3 chance of boss dropping a map is 30%, so it rolls a die/flips a coin/ etc for that drop, weither u land on that 30% or not, afterwards it rolls another die for a second chance of getting a map at 30%, so you can get 0, 1 or 2 maps, now the chance to get at least one map is 1-chance to not get a map, and since the sever counts the drop twice, you square that chance to not get the map in the equation resulting in:

    1-.7^2 which equals 51% chance to get at least 1 map drop,
    so there 49% chance to get 0 maps
    a 9% chance to get 2 map drops (.3*.3)
    and a 42% chance to get just 1 map drop(.3*.7+.7*.3)

    end result is it's 1.7x better chance to get a 3rd, 4th or last map form bosses during 2x, 1.8x better chance to get a 2nd map you get 2 chrono instead of 1 from last boss which is 2x more stuff = 17.69x higher profit from 2x than non 2x from maps

    Here is a link to one of the treasure chest bosses.

    It shows a 20% chance to drop the next map. This is what we can expect after x2. A 1/5 chance to move on each time.


    The probability appears to change based on the Boss that has to be fought. The Map 1 Bosses have a 20% chance of dropping Map 2 in most cases (a few have only a 10% chance and 1 is only 5%). Unfortunately, PW DB does not yet have the associations between the quests and the Bosses, so it is not clear how often the 5% or 10% bosses might appear.

    For the second, third and fourth Bosses, the chance to drop Map 3, 4 or 5 increases to 30% in most cases. Also, there appears to be 4 different maps for Map 5.

    Considering 2x (which is only available for a few more hours) the probabilities increase to 36%, 51%, 51% and 51%.

    Therefore, the chances are something like this:

    Map Dropped - Prob - Total Prob - Total for 2x - More likely for 2x
    Map 1 - 100% - 100.00% - 100.00% - 1.00x
    Map 2 - 20% - 20.00% - 36.00% - 1.80x
    Map 3 - 30% - 6.00% - 18.36% - 3.06x
    Map 4 - 30% - 1.80% - 9.36% - 5.20x
    Map 5 - 30% - 0.54% - 4.78% - 8.84x

    Thus for 2x, getting Map 5 is 8.84 times as likely as for 1x.

    Prizes appear to follow this pattern:

    Map 1 Boss: 30K EXP, 6870 Spirit, 10K coins, 25 rep, Must be lvl 60+
    Map 2 Boss: 55K EXP, 12430 Spirit, 20K coins, 50 rep, Must be lvl 70+
    Map 3 Boss: 130K EXP, 29380 Spirit, 30K coins, 75 rep, Must be lvl 80+
    Map 4 Boss: 250K EXP, 56.5K Spirit, 40K coins, 100 rep, Must be lvl 90+
    Map 5 Boss: 500K EXP, 113K Spirit, 50K coins, 150 rep, Must be lvl 100+

    There are several bosses that have slightly different values.

    Map 5 Bosses also drop special items that can be converted to Chrono Pages and other useful items. There is a 100% chance of dropping one item, which means two items will drop during the 2x bonus (this too might vary for different bosses).


    Final boss drops are obviously worth a great deal, but players need to be level 100 to open the Map. Therefore, players who get Map 4 or 5 that are not lvl 100 might consider selling the maps.


    During 2x, paying 88,888 coins is probably worth the risk: there is about a 1 in 21 chance of getting to the fifth boss, so paying an average of about 1.9m coins should earn at least that much back again from the fifth boss (2 prizes). For 1x however, the odds drop to about 1 in 185, which means an average of one Map 5 boss for every 16.5m coins spent, and the rewards will be only 1 prize.


    Good Luck!

    No. The bosses got reflect and other nasty self buffs. Try soloing it and you're dead in about 5 seconds. I literally did that. And so did my friend who has a 14k hp 5 aps +10 clawbarb.

    I duoed it with a barb where he tanked and I used my Heaven Shatterer from range. Took 20 minutes.

    I suggest you just bring a cleric and a ranged DD. The drops ARE pretty good, usually. 4 or 12 Chrono Pages plus a random G10 shard.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    I died like a bad troll. Luckily my friends were able to take it down. A veno tanked it on her nix. Drops were 2 ancient emperor's bone. Nothing else.

    Edit: This boss was a skylord book and the location is just north of village of the brutes. He has a nasty bramble and aoes.

    I been multiclienting on this and my veno - eventually my veno ends up with both maps so I quit out with this char and continue on the veno.

    Just finished a Treasure Map 5 boss, that bramble is annoying, and will kill you if you aren't careful with 5.0 APS.

    Just glad I logged my cleric alt and easily took it down, also I LOVE my purge pole more now.

    b:pleased

    I currently have 2 Nexus Pills.

    during non 2x the chrono pages should not drop in price, read other posts in this thread, if the %s in pwdatabase for the map drops are acutrate its going to cost around 16mil per chrono page from this daily on average during non 2x
