Let's talk about you and me (yes, I'm old)

Anyways homies,

I picked up the following map on solo while just hitting level 40. I started it around level 20-25. I believe maps can spawn at 15 levels higher from the level you are at the time of the completion of a catacombs run.

Can anyone confirm this is the max or could it be 20? Could there be a benefit of completing a catacombs from trapdoor?

Additionally, is there a list of the max spawn of attributes/benefits on a map? I figure one of you nerds are tracking this or made some kind of digital list.

Feel free to add to the chat of your own ideas. We're gonna dissect this theory.

+15 is the highest I've ever seen, but I don't have a lot of experience compared to others.

Very nice map though!

So...

Some map properties are "per tier" like equipment stats, whereas some map properties have a static range.

Of the most important map properties, it would appear that these are per tier:
+EPs
+treasure chests
+evil wells

While this one is static:
monster difficulty %

MD caps out at 25% and doesn't appear to be affected by ML (probably because increasing the value by 1 tier would not result in any difference).

I am not entirely sure what the max values are for EPs, treasure chests, and evil wells, and likely cannot find this out myself since I probably won't be completing many (if any) catacombs with 0 ML on...

I've seen +EPs and +treasure chests on tier 1 go up to 6 rarely, but 3 pretty commonly. My GUESS is that these are both +3 per tier (but that's a really rough guess). If someone has found +4 or more of either (per tier) with NO ML on completion of the maze, please let me know! :thumbsup:

+Evil wells is 1 per tier? :unsure:

Help :lol:

Completing a catacomb @ level 40 does have a chance to drop a Tier XIII definitely. Someone made a comment awhile ago in a different thread that you can actually obtain a Tier IV (level 5 map) when completing a Catacomb at level 1 = 3 Tiers higher, I have confirmed this to be accurate even though doubting it. Henceforth, I do believe you can get a Tier XIV map when you complete catacomb @ level 40... maybe even late 39.

Note: I have not tested the Event modifiers to Map Quality either, this maybe a factor.

I am uncertain on Map modifiers.

Tier I map can have maximum +25 Level Cap (Monster Level Cap) ... this is the highest I have seen so far, even on higher Tier Maps.

As +EPs... I know that Tier III can have +10 for certain as I have two of these maps, I am not sure if it increases with higher Tier Maps.

Tier II map that I have has +6 Evil Presence, again, uncertain of maximum number.

Monster Difficulty, unsure on this either however I do have a Tier III map with +16% Monster difficulty, maybe this can be 20% or 25% maximum (similar to the Monster Level Cap)

Hope some of this helps out.
