ive been grinding to 35 then rerolling to build up profs, collect maps/gear etc.

I found a +6 treasure chest map and a few others, is it a better idea to use them at a high level like do the chests drop better items or would it just drop higher lvl req items or how does that work? since starting to play ladder slasher this game has gotten more and more fun for me btw I definitely recommend anyone to play it.

it will drop items at whatever level you are,,,, up to the max level of the map. EG if your map is says lvel 10 requirement on it. the maximum monster level in the map is approximately level 35. so the maximum level of Drops is lvl 25

does that make sense?

yessir ty so the ones without req can have max lvl items of just level o? meaning I can just do them at any level and the drops will be the same ?

Tier----Quality-------Level Req--------Max Monster Level-----Map Size

5(V)-----Hard-------------10--------------------35------------14x18
6(VI)----Double cured-----15--------------------40------------15x20
7(VII)---Rigid------------20--------------------45------------16x22
8(VIII)--Embossed---------25--------------------50------------17x24
9(IX)----Imbued-----------30--------------------55------------18x26
10(X)----Runed------------35--------------------60------------19x28
11(XI)---Enchanted--------40--------------------65------------20x30
12(XII)--Tempered---------45--------------------70------------21x32
13(XIII)-Encrested--------50--------------------75------------22x34

Rare tanned beach map
Use Item to Receive Effect

+6 Treasure Chests
Quantity: 3

ID : 1218380895

you mean this map `?


your map is a III , so max monsterlevel is 25 . That means your drops will be max tier VI , occasionally VII when played on the cap / on evil presence
If you play the map on a charlevel higher then 35 the drops will shrink drastically , try to stay close to the monsterlevel.

Personally Treasure Chests don't drop anything that useful more often than not.

You will gain 5 levels approximately exploring TierII / TierIII & TierIV. This comes from testing in the last 3 days, so, it is more beneficial to start the map 5 levels below maximum monster level.
If your map has +XX Monster Cap, then add that to Monster level maximum... Patch = 15 Maximum level, but map has +12 Monster Cap = 27 Level monster cap.

More useful mods wanted on maps Are monster difficulty / X% drop rate / X% drop quality / Evil Presences and some others, so throw away low tier maps with junk mods

EDIT: unless the maps are like level 20 upwards, they are good to explore.
