-After computing the quality value, the game randomly selects one of 32768 maps for that quality value.  Since quality can range from 2 to 248, there are over 8 million possible treasure maps!  For higher quality values, the possible maps contain grottos which are much longer and hold more powerful enemies and bosses.  The following table shows the relation between the quality value and the map difficulty.
+After computing the quality value, the game randomly selects one of 32768 maps for that quality value.  Since quality can range from 2 to 248, the total normal map possibilities can be computed as:
+<pre>
+(248 - 2) * 32,768 = 8,060,928 different maps
+</pre>
+Hence the reason high quality maps are so rare.  Even with the highest quality value (248), there is still only a 1/32768 chance of getting a specific map. For higher quality values, the possible maps contain grottos which are much longer and hold more powerful enemies, bosses, and treasures.  The following table shows the relation between the quality value and the map contents.
