A '''treasure map''' is a specialty item in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', which can be acquired in a number of different ways.  When opened, a treasure map marks a particular spot on the world map where a secret grotto can be found.  Treasure maps come in 2 varieties: normal and legacy boss.  Overall, treasure maps play a key role in extending Dragon Quest IX's post-game by adding enormous amounts of additional content.
