Pirate Map: EYE NEEED SUM!

[CraftedNightmare Here!]

Hey guys! I got a bit of a problem: I can't seem to get any pirate maps! I made a pretty simple farm (I placed water candles straight after I took the photo)

Spoiler: Design of the farm

No maps seem to be appearing. I farmed for like 3 days and yet NONE! I know they have a %1 drop, but this is ridiculious! Am I doing something wrong, or is it just bad luck? Please tell me, thanks!

Is everyone just going to act silly on this thread?

Is everyone just going to act silly on this thread?

I believe so.
Also I think it is just a really rare drop chance, 1% would mean 1/100th chance to get it.
Try doing it at least, 12 times if not try asking here again =).

No, I'm serious, get cheat engine and turn on speed hack if RNG isn't in your favour

I did farming for like 3 days, I don't think trying again would work, but i'll try

I believe you have to stay close as possible to the ocean killing mobs, it may give you a better chance of getting it, atleast that is what the Wiki says
http://terraria.wiki.gg/Pirate_Map

 

[Gotcha!]

You're inside the ocean biome, so you should be collecting plenty of pirate maps. Sure, they're rare, but they're not that rare.
Strange. You are using the pc version right? Without mods? Just checking.

I'll be more specific. Create a usual boat, a square, stand above it at least 1 block deep in water, with a jungle around you. Apirama from the jungle spawn very fast and in large numbers, leave some minions in the box bellow (make sure the bottom of it is made of platforms. The fish will swim up to you because you are in water, and your minions will kill them. water candle and battle potion help. I have screen shots!

You need to hammer any blocks along your boat so the fish don't get stuck.

How close can I be?

The jungle is anywhere BUT near the ocean, its in the middle of the map

Encase the jungle.

Encase the jungle.

It's not the evil, its the jungle ITSELF

I'm pretty sure that if you keep it in a box the monsters won't kill you.

 

[Gotcha!]

Care to share your map so that I can try to get pirate maps on your map?
