Practical Pockets is unusual as far as Avowed treasure maps go. This Emerald Stair map is looking out from the treasure’s location, not showing you where it is.
Lucky for you, the location is within close reach and has few enemies patrolling nearby (unlike the region’s Painter’s Regret treasure map map). The reward at the end might not increase your carrying capacity, despite having a higher-than-average number of pockets, but it does offer a range of useful resistances.
This Avowed guide shows where to find the Practical Pockets treasure map, where to find its treasure, and what that reward has to offer.
Where to find Practical Pockets treasure map
You can purchase Practical Pockets for 660 skeyt from The Gifted Magpie in southwestern Fior mes Ivèrno. The shop is up a few flights of stairs, and it also sells a few grenade items — useful for stocking up on before heading out into the wilds of Emerald Stair.
Practical Pockets location solution
This map shows you the back of a ruined stone, square tower, and if you’ve explored around Fior me Ivèrno already, you probably know there’s only one of those nearby — the Ranger Headquarters. It’s northeast of Fior me Ivèrno, and even though the road around the Rolling Crags beacon is blocked by a squadron of xaurips, you can just go around them or ignore them for now.
Instead of approaching the rangers’ tower, take a path around the hill and to the northeast. You’re looking for a small alcove in the cliff under some lichen and giant blue mushrooms. Open the chest inside to find Hjilde’s Handy Hide.
Practical Pockets reward
Hjilde’s Handy Hide is, like the Stelgaer’s Price reward you get from the Intimidating Feline Codpiece treasure map in Dawnshore, a full armor set. This one comes with some very useful bonuses.
Hjilde’s Handy Hide stats
- 10% damage reduction
- 22 additional damage reduction
- -20 maximum stamina
- -20 maximum essence
Hjilde’s Handy Hide enchantment
- All Seasons: -10% damage from fire, frost, and shock
- Survivor: +40 maximum health
Poison might be the most popular element in Emerald Stair, but you’ll start start facing enemies who deal fire, frost, or shock damage as well. Considering Hjilde’s Handy Hide starts as a second-level Fine quality item, it’s worth keeping this armor on hand, tempting though it may be to sell it.
