¶ ✨ What Are Resource Maps?
Resource Maps are special items that lead you to hidden resource camps scattered across the land. Once you locate and harvest a camp, you’ll uncover a pile of rare materials to extract at your leisure.
There are three types of Resource Maps:
- ⛏️ Ore Maps — Levels 1–8, yielding ores from Dull Copper all the way up to the legendary Valorite
- 🪵 Lumber Maps — Levels 1–6, uncovering woods such as Oak, Yew, Bloodwood, Frostwood, and Heartwood
- 🐾 Leather Maps — Levels 1–5, revealing Spined, Horned, Barbed, Infernal, and Dragonhide leathers
Higher level maps lead to rarer and more valuable resources — but they demand greater skill to decipher!
¶ 💀 Where do I get maps?
🔺 These maps have a chance to drop from any dungeon monster, with harder monsters having an increased chance of dropping a map, and bosses are guaranteed to drop at least one!
¶ 🔭 Crafting a Spyglass
A Spyglass is required to decipher and locate Resource Map camps. You can craft one yourself using the Tinkering skill.
Requirements:
- 🛠️ 50 Tinkering skill
- 🔩 30 Ingots
Open your Tinkering menu, navigate to Tools, and craft a Spyglass.
- 💡 Keep the spyglass in your backpack at all times — you’ll need it both to decipher maps and to locate the resource camp once you’re in the right region.
¶ 🔭 How It Works
¶ Step 1 — Decipher the Map
- You’ll need a Spyglass in your backpack and sufficient Cartography skill.
- Use your spyglass on the map to begin deciphering. This takes a short time — stay still and avoid taking damage or you’ll lose your focus!
- Higher-level maps require higher Cartography skill to decipher.
¶ Step 2 — Read the Map
- Once deciphered, double-clicking the map reveals the in-game map window along with a directional hint.
- The map will tell you roughly how far away the resource area is — from “very far away” all the way to “nearby somewhere”.
¶ Step 3 — Travel to the Region
- You must be in the correct region before the map will reveal the exact camp location.
- If you’re in the wrong area, the map will tell you the target region and point you in the right direction. 🧭
¶ Step 4 — Locate the Camp
- Once in the right region, use your spyglass on the deciphered map to spawn the resource camp at the hidden location.
- Already found the camp? Using the map again will give you directions to it instead of spawning a second one.
¶ Step 5 — Harvest!
- Get within close range of the camp to trigger the harvest. The camp will be replaced by a resource pile.
- Use the appropriate tool to extract resources from the pile:
- ⛏️ Pickaxe for ore
- 🪓 Hatchet for lumber
- 🔪 Skinning Knife for leather
You’ll also need the matching resource skill. The pile has a limited number of charges — once depleted, it’s gone!

¶ 💡 Tips & Tricks
- 🎒 Always carry your spyglass and the correct harvesting tool before setting out.
- 🌍 If you receive a wrong-region message, head to the named region first — the camp won’t spawn otherwise.
- 📍 If a camp is already active, your map can still guide you back to it from a distance.
- ⚠️ Resource piles are finite — each successful harvest uses up a charge, so don’t leave a pile unfinished!
