Grand Blue Treasure Maps

How to find, read, and complete treasure hunts for Fruit Chest rewards in Early Access.

Treasure Maps

Treasure Maps are one of the confirmed non-chest routes to obtaining Cursed Fruits in Grand Blue. They are a timed event system: you collect or receive a map, read it to find a set of coordinates, travel to the location, and dig up the treasure. The reward is typically a Fruit Chest, making Treasure Maps one of the most valuable activities to run if you are trying to build a fruit collection without spending Robux or Celestial Coins on the shop.

This page covers how to obtain Treasure Maps, how to interpret the clues, and what rewards to expect.

Fruit Chests: how to get fruits. World events: world events.

How to obtain Treasure Maps

Treasure Maps are obtained through:

  • NPC interactions — some NPCs in villages and ports give treasure maps as quest rewards. Check NPCs with dialogue markers rather than only following the main quest arrow.
  • Achievement milestones — the Achievement menu occasionally grants a Treasure Map as a completion reward.
  • Exploration — hidden chests and treasure spots on islands can contain maps. Explore thoroughly rather than running straight to quest markers.
  • World event participation — some timed world events pay Treasure Maps as bonus drops.

Maps are not infinitely farmable. Treat each map as a limited resource and plan your treasure hunt accordingly.

How to read a Treasure Map

Once you have a map:

  1. Open your inventory and locate the Treasure Map item.
  2. The map shows a general island area with a marker or series of clues.
  3. Compare the map to your current island geography.
  4. Look for landmarks mentioned in the map text: a specific tree formation, a rock outcrop, a building, or a coastline feature.
  5. Travel to the indicated area.

Do not assume the treasure is on your current island. Some maps lead to locations on other islands that require sailing to reach.

Completing the treasure hunt

When you reach the indicated location:

  1. Look for a dig spot — often a patch of ground that stands out from surrounding terrain.
  2. Press the interact key (E) near the dig spot to begin digging.
  3. Some treasure hunts require you to defeat nearby enemies before the dig spot activates.
  4. Once the dig completes, collect your reward.

Rewards vary, but confirmed outputs include:

  • Fruit Chests (confirmed from roonby.com and launch guides)
  • Gold
  • Celestial Coins (occasionally)
  • Skill Scrolls

Treasure Maps and the fruit economy

Treasure Maps are valuable because they are a free, repeatable source of Fruit Chests outside the paid shop. If your goal is to collect rare fruits without spending Robux:

  1. Prioritise every Treasure Map you receive.
  2. Check NPC dialogue markers for new maps before starting a new island.
  3. Save Celestial Coins for shop purchases and run Treasure Maps whenever possible.
  4. Combine Treasure Map farming with world boss attendance — both reward resources that feed the fruit economy.

Tips for treasure hunting

  • Check every NPC in a new area, not just quest-givers.
  • Sail with a ship — some map locations require water travel to reach.
  • Bring a fruit — some dig sites have enemy guards.
  • Check achievement milestones before spending Celestial Coins on chests.
  • Map inventory may be limited — use maps rather than stockpiling them indefinitely.
