Magical Maps are Key Items that represent interactive maps of the various areas of Vana'diel. Many magical maps are permanent, but with the release of Treasures of Aht Urhgan some maps are temporary and grant access only to a sub area of your current battlefield, such as during Assault or Salvage.

With a Magical Map, adventurers may use the map command while in its corresponding area to locate themselves within the area, place markers, and track party and alliance member positions. Without a magical map the game will inform players they have "No Map"

Not all areas have Magical Maps. In this case, the map command will not open any UI and you will get an error message "There is no map for this area."

Maps may represent an entire conquest regions or specific areas, areas covered are indicated in the list of maps below.

Acquiring Magical Maps

New adventurers start the game in possession of the map of their home nation:

Every other magical map in the game must be acquired either by completing quests, opening coffers, entering certain areas of the game for the first time, or by purchase from Map Vendors in major cities around the game world:

List of Magical Maps

Magical Map tables are sortable, but by default are sorted by the same order they would appear in your in-game Key Items menu.

Rise of the Zilart

Chains of Promathia

Treasures of Aht Urhgan

Aht Urghan is the first expansion to allow purchase of Magical Maps via an alternative currency, in this case Imperial Standing Credits. It is also the first expansion to implement temporary map acquisition. Participating in Assault or Salvage granted temporary access to those area maps. Assault maps in particular were restricted to the specific assault mission.

Wings of the Goddess

As with Salvage and Assault area maps, maps for areas used for certain Wings of the Goddess Missions, Moblin Maze Mongers, Meeble Burrows, and Campaign Operations are only temporarily granted upon entrance and only cover the maps relevant to the current battlefield/operation.

The December 2014 Version Update introduced 3 new Map Vendors in Shadowreign areas that sell some of these maps for the significantly discounted price of 750 gil:

Abyssea

Abyssea area maps must be purchased with cruor from the respective area's Cruor Prospector.

Seekers of Adoulin

Seekers of Adoulin started out with only a small fraction of maps available at expansion launch. Over time, establishment of Frontier Stations in the Ulbukan wilderness would expand the selection of maps to those areas. This inventory expansion was one of the ways the theme of coalition and players having a permanent impact on the game world was a big part of expansion's overall flavor.

Many Seekers of Adoulin area maps are purchased with bayld from Sifa Alani at the Scouts' Coalition in Eastern Adoulin. Some are completely free!

Maps for skirmish areas in Yorcia Weald and Cirdas Caverns are temporary and only obtained by interacting with Noetic Ascensions.

The map for Outer Ra'Kaznar (U) is shared between Skirmish battles and Sortie, but is similarly temporary.

Dynamis

Goblins stationed at the entrance to each Beastmen stronghold sell Dynamis maps.

Rhapsodies of Vana'diel

These area maps may only be purchased using Escha silt from the NPC stationed at the entrance of each respective zone:
