Template:Item

Mysterious Map can be used to obtain Alexandrite, the catalyst needed to upgrade Animus Zodiac Weapons into Novus Zodiac Weapons. Players will gain 1 Alexandrite for each mysterious map completed. Players will lose the mysterious map if he or she fails the task.

Acquisition

Players can obtain the mysterious maps in 2 ways:

• The daily quest Morbid Motivation which requires you to complete an expert duty roulette and resets everyday.
• Can be brought from Auriana in Revenant's Toll for 400 Allagan Tomestone of Soldiery.

Completing Mysterious Map

Solving Mysterious Map is similar to solving Treasure Hunt map. Before uncovering the treasure chest, the player will need to use Decipher and Dig then defeat a group of enemies.

• Players can complete the map with the help of a party but only the owner of the map will receive the Alexandrite. Rest of the party members will get some gil.
• Chocobo Companion can be used to make the battle easier.
