As the title says. If a Delver’s Bounty map drops one week and is not used (left in your bags – NOT clicked, NOT a buff), can that character still get a map for the following week? Or does possessing a map from the previous week prevent a Delver’s Bounty from dropping in the new week?
I haven’t tested this to see if they stack or not, but I can confirm that a map can drop during a map run lol.
I did two map runs this week. One after the other.
Although, I do want to point out how ridiculous loot can be in a +11 bountiful map run with 0 deaths lol.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume they’re marked as “unique” which will prevent you looting another. The game probably also flags the “quest” as completed and no longer obtainable so you can’t use it and get another within the same week.
But that’s just a guess.
I think if you have one on any character unused you can’t get another. I didn’t get any this last week but one character had a map in its bag. I used it yesterday so will see if I get one after reset.
Not sure about getting a new Map if you have one sitting in your bags, but I wanted to add a PSA that once you use a Map and have the bountiful buff, that will persist from one week to the next.
Basically, there’s almost no benefit to not using a Map the second it hits your bags.

It’s a 1-looted cache per week thing. It won’t drop a map if you’ve got one on you or the buff from using one, and will not drop a map if it detects a cache looted this week. So, there would be no way for you to get a second.
I stand corrected after reading above.
I’m assuming you didn’t get a map in a previous week? Their direct communication was capped 1 per week. If so, it seems there is a counter that ticks up, allowing you to catch up from previous missed ones.

I think there is a catch up.

Yes. You won’t be able to loot the new one, because they’re unique. So you’ll have to “use” the one from the previous week on the spot. But having last week’s bounty in your bags does not prevent a new one from dropping for you.
I have experienced this multiple times, since I have been grinding delves on 4-5 chars and always forget which one has a map.

I haven’t personally had them stack. (I guess it can I haven’t had it happen). The wave scramblers do stack. I haven’t really tried to use two wave scramblers in a week though. Not sure you can. I just put them in the warbank.
Drop and use are two different conditions - the rule is only one drop per week, with the map being unique so it is not loot-able even if it drops with one already in the bags.
So it is possible to have a map from the previous week, use it this week, and still get another map to drop this week.
Also maps are a stupid mechanic - maybe one drops, maybe it doesn’t, but if it doesn’t you can burn up a bunch of coins to buy a doodad to run another delve to force one to drop.
Just drop one (or grant a ‘charge’ each week) the first delve after reset.
Also FFS improve the UI tracking for delves - in game on any character we should be able to see how many of each tier has been completed and information such as map dropped / map used.

Still not clear if it does have some “catch up” mechanic. Because the “gilded stash” doesn’t have.
I started to play my alt now and got the map on this week. Can I drop more maps since I didn’t get previous week and so? I do not want to waste an scrambler for nothing…
This is really awesome to know! No more too late nights of “the stupid thing JUST dropped” and thinking I have to use it right then or lose next week’s one.
