ChaoticFission Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 is the prize that the treasure map yields worth the price? i got piece #5 of the treasure map from an RE and am not sure what to do with it... i can sell it at around 22k or i can buy up the other 8 pieces and unlock the secret. the base NP award for the map is 10k, but u also get an assortment of rare items...... so... is it worth it? or should i just sell it?

sentinelzm Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 So not worth it. The total cost of the map is about 150k give or take and you almost never get that back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Personally I would sell it, but it depends on your feelings towards neopoints. See me I’m a hoarder lol I like seeing the neopoints in the bank, some people are saving up for something special, and some people say money isn't everything and spend neopoints the moment they get them just for the experience and any items they would get out of it. Depending on which type you are would generally determine what you would do when you get a valuable item in a random event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureTXTurkey Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 There is an excellent, and informative TDN Treasure Map Guide.I suggest you give that read, I personally decided they were not worth my time and points after reading the guide.

Xepha Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Mostly, it's gambling. If you feel like 'taking a risk' and complete the map, just go ahead and do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentinelzm Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 That's quite true. I've heard that a draik egg can be obtained from the map very very rarely. Is this true? :eh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticFission Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 That's quite true. I've heard that a draik egg can be obtained from the map very very rarely. Is this true? :eh: ooh. i wouldn't mind hatching a draik :D can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Milli Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yea, you can get a draik egg, but it is rare :( other wise I would be going for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwerx Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 If you gather all the pieces and give it a try, then you can at least say that you have experienced treasure hunting on Neopets before. Playing a game is all about having fun experiences, isn't it? However, if you sell the map piece, then you can take the NP and use it for other fun things. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malindamya Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 i personally did the main 4 maps that you see on the guide...nothing special came out of them, but it was fun trying to get them from the trading post/auctions/shops... I think the lab ray maps are 100% important, just because its so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticFission Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 yea, i think the price of the pieces outweighs the prize, so i've decided to sell them. some of the pieces sell for way over 10k, so there's no point to try to collect them. i just have to sell it quickly before the perfectionist in me realizes what im doing.

*SG* Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i just have to sell it quickly before the perfectionist in me realizes what im doing. Goodluck with that lol You'll have to let me know how that works out for you! I got the petpet lab map for dirt cheap but there's no way I'm paying out for the regular map. It's not worth it to me personally. But with the added access and being able to do it as often as you can I guess in the long run it makes more sense. But I'd rather wait for the random gatherings lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, I definetly think it isn't something you should go out and buy... its a finders thing...just wait around until you get them all.. I personally would never go out and buy all 9 pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnychula Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It depends on if you are a type of person that must have instant gratification or if you can gradually work toward a goal. If you wait a while you will get more pieces by RE and it won't cost you an arm and a leg! :) This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Ruto) because of a violation of the forum rules.
