How do Treasure Maps work in Avowed?
Each region has 3 Treasure Maps, each of which has a picture of a location with an X marking the spot where a Unique Item can be found.
The treasures themselves do not belong to any set and tend to be a bit more eccentric than the rest of the gear in the game, though they can still be worth using.
You can find Treasure Maps next to corpses or buy them from select Merchants for a paltry sum.
You do not need to acquire the Treasure Map to find the treasures themselves. If you’re thorough with your exploration, you can stumble upon the treasures without the map. Since you’re reading this guide, you don’t need to bother with the maps at all.
There is an Achievement, “Pathfinder”, for finding all the hidden treasures across the Living Lands.
Click or tap on a card below to find out where to find the treasure map, how to find the location of the treasure and what is the reward you get.
