{{#spoiler:show=Hint That May Help You Identify the Zone on the Treasure Map|hide=Hint That May Help You Identify the Zone on the Treasure Map|
If you click all the conversation keywords, Selleck or a Junior Treasure hunter will tell you that a secret on the backside of each map can be revealed by placing the map and a lemon on an [[Alchemy Station|Alchemy Crafting Station]], and then clicking craft.  This will change the map to a "revealed" state that will show the secret message on the back (see [[Reveal Hidden Message]]).
To flip the map over, click the "flip symbol" in the upper right of the map window.
Note that the flip symbol is sometimes "floating" relatively far away from the edge of the map.
Also, there is a bug that prevents activation of the "flip" icon if the icon is overlapping any other GUI interface element.  So make sure you position the "flip" icon so it is overlaying only the background of the game window.

For blood stained maps, the clue on the back is a virtue that corresponds with a [[Pages of the Dirae Prophecy|Page of the Dirae Prophecy]] (these pages are obtained during the [[Episode 1 Main Quests]], specifically while doing [[The Path of the Oracle]]). Each page can be found in a specific underground vault, and each vault can be accessed from a specific PVP zone. The PVP zone depicted on the map is the same zone that contains the entrance to the given page's vault. For example, for the Blood Stained Map #1, the clue on the back is "Sacrifice".  The [[Page of Sacrifice and Narcissism]] can be found in [[Midras Vault]], and the entrance to Midras Vault is in [[Midras Ruins]]. So, the map depicts an area within Midras Ruins.

{{#spoiler:show=What Happens When you Dig Up The Buried Treasure?|hide=What Happens When you Dig Up The Buried Treasure?|
If you are in the correct location when you dig, you will see one of the following messages on the screen: "Your shovel hit something in the ground." or "Your shovel hit something in the ground but you are not alone anymore." The treasure map will be removed from your inventory and then 1 or more waves of low to medium level enemies will spawn (sometimes you have to move away from where you dug in order to get the spawn to occur). You have 30 minutes to kill all the enemy waves that spawn (a 30 minute timer labeled "Ongoing Event" appears on the screen). If you kill all the enemy waves within the 30 minute time limit, the buried chest will rise out of the ground. Then a 5 minute timer (labeled "Time Before Reset") will appear on the screen.  You must loot the chest before the 5 minute timer expires.  When either timer expires, the chest rests.

When digging up treasure in a non-PVP zone, a [[Blue Poison Dart Frog]] will rarely spawn. This frog which can either be killed or tamed in order to make the treasure chest rise from the ground. Note that this is the only situation in which the Blue Poison Dart frog will spawn (i.e. it does not spawn anywhere else in the game).

When digging up treasure in a PVP zone, you will usually need to fight more waves of enemies compared to a non-PVP zone.  Also, in PVP zones, a mini-boss has a chance to spawn in the last wave. The mini-bosses are named either [[Cid, the Murderer]] or [[Retz, the Murderer]].  These mini-bosses occasionally drop some unique loot (see below).
