Treasure Maps Overview
Treasure Maps are a set of mice Hunters are required to catch for a special reward. The difficulty, number and the location of the mice on the list depend on the type of map, and each type of map yields a different type of Treasure Chest. The mice on the list may be caught in any order. Up to 5 Hunters may work a map at any one time. Only 2 Hunters may work a Wanted Poster at any one time.
Map Types
- Relic Hunter Maps
- These maps are found in Relic Hunter Scroll Cases and allow up to 5 Hunters at a time to work together to complete them.
- Mice from throughout the Kingdom are the focus of these maps.
- The rewards for these maps are affected by the Season of map hunting during which they are awarded and may contain season-specific items.
- Area-Specific Maps
- These maps are found in Scroll Cases purchased from Cartographers and allow up to 5 Hunters at a time to work together to complete them.
- Wanted Posters are a special type of area-specific map. They are found in Sealed Wanted Posters dropped by the Bounty Hunter Mouse and only allow 2 Hunters at a time to work together to complete them. Mice must be caught in a specific order.
- Mice in specific areas of the Kingdom are the focus of these map.
- Event Maps

Working a Treasure Map
The Hunter who initially opens the Scroll Case, starting the map, is called the Map Captain. If the Map Captain leaves the map, the title is transferred at random to another Hunter currently working the map. Only the Map Captain can invite other Hunters to join in completing the map. If the Map Captain leaves the map, all unaccepted invites made by that Hunter are voided and the next Map Captain will be able to extend invites to fill any empty slots on the map. It is not possible to transfer the Map Captain position in any other way.
Hunters may only follow one treasure map at a time. Hunters may leave a treasure map, but will not receive any rewards if they do so. Hunters who leave a map can be invited back by the Map Captain, provided there are open slots.
Each time a Hunter catches a mouse on the map list, they are awarded a Treasure Map Clue. Clues are seen as loot dropped by the captured mouse and are tracked in the Treasure Map HUD pop-up.
It is not required to actually catch any mice from the list to receive the rewards for completing the map. Rewards are given only to those Hunters on the map when the map is completed.

Clicking on the claim link allows the Hunter the option of sharing the news via Facebook, and rewards a Luck Charm to the first three friends that follow the link on the post.
Upgrading a Treasure Map
All Maps can be upgraded from Common to Rare by applying Rare Map Dust. Any Hunter working on the map can apply Rare Map Dust. Upgrading a map does not change the difficulty of or mice present on the map.
Event maps released after the beginning of Season 3 can be cashed out if left uncompleted by the end of an event. Rare Map Dust is returned to the person who dusted the map when the map is cashed out.
Rewards from Rare Maps contain twice the points, gold, and Ancient Charms, and have an added chance of rare loot. All Hunters on the map when it is completed will receive a Rare Treasure Chest.
Relic Hunter Treasure Maps
These maps are found in Relic Hunter Scroll Cases which are dropped by the Relic Hunter Mouse. The Relic Hunter Mouse removes 1 Ancient Relic from the Hunter's inventory when dropping a scroll case. When Hunters reach 20 Relic Hunter Scroll Cases in their inventory, the Relic Hunter Mouse will still be encountered, but will no longer drop scroll cases or take Ancient Relics.
Mice from throughout the Kingdom are found on these maps. As the map difficulty increases, so does the variety of mice found and Hunters will need to travel more widely to find them. More difficult maps tend not to contain mice found in the low ranked areas of the Kingdom.
All Relic Hunter maps can be upgraded with Rare Map Dust and will award Rare Treasure Chests when dusted.
As Hunters increase in rank they are able to find more difficult maps inside Relic Hunter Scroll Cases.

Area-Specific Treasure Maps
These maps are found in Scroll Cases obtained from Cartographers in exchange for Ancient Relics.
Wanted Posters are found in Sealed Wanted Posters dropped by the Bounty Hunter Mouse and do not require Hunters to own any Ancient Relics.
The focus of these maps is on specific areas within the Kingdom and the Treasure Chests they reward contain items specific to those areas. Treasure Chests from these maps will not contain season-specific loot, so hunters looking for the Limited Edition weapon will need to complete Relic Hunter Treasure Maps.
To obtain these maps, Hunters must be able to access the Cartographer where the Scroll Case is sold. This limits access to Hunters with the Rank necessary to travel to the location of the Cartographer. To be invited to join an area-specific map, Hunters must be of sufficient Rank to access the lowest ranked area where mice can be found. Sometimes this means the rank to join a map is lower than the rank needed to acquire the map.
All area-specific maps can be upgraded with Rare Map Dust and will award Rare Treasure Chests when dusted.
Event Treasure Maps
These maps are found in Scroll Cases obtained during specific Events. Often they are dropped as loot by mice, but are sometimes rewarded for completing certain objectives during the event.
The focus of these maps is on finding Event Mice and the Treasure Chests they reward contain items specific to the event. Treasure Chests from these maps will not contain season-specific loot, so hunters looking for the Limited Edition weapon will need to complete Relic Hunter Treasure Maps.
To obtain these maps, Hunters must be able to access the Event Location where the Scroll Case is found. This limits access to Hunters with the Rank necessary to travel to the event location, which usually means a minimum rank of Recruit. To be invited to join an event map, Hunters must be of sufficient rank to access the event area.
Maps from previous events can often be opened and completed during the next occurrence of the same event. This may require Hunters to search for certain non-event mice outside the event area.
All event maps can be upgraded with Rare Map Dust and will award Rare Treasure Chests when dusted.
After the start of Season 3, all new event maps can be cashed out if they remain unfinished at the end of the event. Cashing out returns Rare Map Dust to the Hunter who dusted the map and rewards all participants with a few items. All event maps that were released before the beginning of Season 3 on 23 June 2015 will not be cashed out if they remain unfinished at the end of an event.
- 1 These maps cannot be cashed out if they have been started but remain uncompleted at the end of an event.
- 2 In 2012 and 2013 the scroll case and treasure chests were simply called Halloween Scroll Case and Halloween Treasure Chest. At the end of the Halloween 2012 event any remaining scroll cases in Hunter inventories were converted to standard Treasure Map Scroll Cases. In 2013 the Halloween Scroll Case was reintroduced. The names were changed in 2014 to 2012 Halloween Scroll Case and 2012 Halloween Treasure Chest.
- 3 This map contains both Lunar New Year Mice and Great Gnawnian Games Mice and cannot be completed unless both groups of mice are available during an event.

New Relic Hunter Journal Entry
12:45 pm - Great Gnarled Tree I caught an elusive Relic Hunter Mouse in the Great Gnarled Tree!
I already have the maximum allowed Relic Hunter Scroll Cases, so the mouse left my supply of Ancient Relics alone and scampered off.
I should tell my friends to check the Great Gnarled Tree during the next 6 hours 11 minutes 9 seconds to catch one!
