I currently have 827 treasure maps, is there any way to redeem them other than play a 25 minutes game x 827 ? I wish there was a quick way to spend those !! ---

I have the same problem: 1784 treasure maps. As an option, you can play each without any thinking, just move items randomly and quickly šŸ™‚ ---

Slackersā€¦ šŸ˜‰ Iā€™ve got 12 thousand of the useless things. The community has been asking for a realistic way to use maps for years, but nothing has happened yet. ā˜¹ ---

I havenā€™t played in a very long while except for that time a couple weeks ago where I meant to click on the gnome vault but clicked the treasure game instead. Felt guilty to just exit the game so I should really have 2,999.

If youā€™re not playing at least 10 hours/day and not using at least half that time to consume some of your treasure map surplus, youā€™re not doing it right. ---

I play a few every day. Even at 1 gem per map, thatā€™s a helluva a lot of gems. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/2/e24b0982c0340dcdf7ff14694fcc4b0d1cd428f9.jpeg) ---

I think they should let you exchange them for gold or gold keys. The funny thing is they actually sell them. They might get some takers if they didnā€™t flood the game with them. ---

Other than actually playing them out, thereā€™s really not much else to do with Treasure Maps. The main issue that is commonly brought up is that the game mode is unrewarding for the time invested. Iā€™d argue that the _onus_ is on the player to make the game mode rewarding by becoming efficient at it. Iā€™m certainly not some expert ā€œTreasure Hunter,ā€ but I _am_ competent enough at it to create a vault every two to three minutes (for the first two or three vaultsā€¦ then, the board becomes obstructed, and subsequent vaults can become slightly more time consuming). And, _even_ with RNG dictating the eventual rewards from the chests/vaults created upon map completion, a player can _still_ produce enough resources to bolster their account some. I mean, _I_ play Treasure Hunt _exclusively_, and have you seen [my account](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/tl-dr-level-37-f2p-solo-22-mythics/40137) lately? (And, I even do this with a rather severe visual impairment, meeting the federal threshold for legal blindness. šŸ•¶) Suggestions have been made for maps to also become a resource available to use in the Soulforge for crafting purposes, which seems like it could be viable if thought out (and executed) properly. Some (many) players have a grandiose number of 'em, so considerations to the gameā€™s economy and competitive advantages and such would have to come into play, but it could work, maybe? I guess no one else just plays them for the cascades anymore. šŸ™ƒ ---

My solution for treasure maps is allow them to be used for extra turns in treasure hunt, but at an exponential cost. First extra turn costs 1 map, second extra turn costs 2 maps, then 6 maps, then 24, then 120, then 720, then 5040, etc. Each extra turn costs that many turns more than the last one. (So the fourth extra turn costs 4 times more than what the third turn cost.)
