Treasure Hunters of Britannia

Monsters listed in these tables link to the UO Stratics Hunter's Guide.

Monsters not listed as dropping maps are not known to drop maps.

Notes on the spawn: All chests, except Level Ones, will have an initial spawn of FOUR MONSTERS, randomly chosen from the spawning monsters for that level map. On all maps, there is a chance of a monster spawning when an item is picked up from the chest. There is also a technique called forcing a spawn, in which an item is moved about in the treasure chest to get a monster to spawn, to increase the amount of loot the party takes home. This is especially good on high level chests, where the monster loot can rival the gold in the chest.

Monsters that drop this level map:
Level 5 Paragons.

With Publish 27, Paragon versions of the above creatures have a 1 in 20 chance of spawning in Ilshenar. If the Paragon would normally drop a treasure map, instead the Paragon corpse will contain a Paragon Treasure Chest with approximately 20% of the normal treasure chest loot, plus a treasure map one level higher than normally found on that creature.

Many thanks go to DerekL (Toreador of Lake Superior THB) for compiling the above Level 1-5 information.
