MarkandRecall -
Use a chisel on a marble brick and you can create a rune. Once you create the rune you can right click on it and mark it. It will mark the co-ordinates of the tile you are standing on when you mark it. You will then be able to right click on the marked rune and recall to it. You can not mark on deeds, lava, water, and steep slopes. You can mark in caves. The quality of the rune also dictates how far you can teleport with the rune. Each time you use the rune it will take a little damage. Creating runes uses the channeling skill so it's a nice alternative to leveling that skill up. Runes can only be Marked once and not remarked.
TreasureHunting -
Most creatures (not rats, wolves, bears, cave bugs, wildcats, mountain lions, ocelots, or non aggressive creatures (chickens, cows, bulls, horses, etc)) have a chance to drop a treasure map when hunting. You can also get them while fishing, digging, or mining. The quality of the map is based off your fighting skill and the creatures unarmed weapon fighting skill. The quality for maps from fishing, digging, and mining is based off of the quality of your tool (pick, shovel, fishing pole) and your skill (digging, mining, fishing).
Once you get a map, make sure you have a compass, a shovel, and something to butcher with in your inventory and also some space in your inventory. It's also advisable to use a wagon with some space in it. The map is in a random spot and it can be very far away, and some of the items that drop from a chest can be unfinished looms, forges, guard towers, and others which you will need to load in a wagon to carry.
The higher the quality of the map the nastier the monsters that spawn with it so keep that in mind. A 10 quality map will have rats and cats. A 70 quality or higher can spawn a dragon hatchling. The higher quality of the map and the more rewards you will get.
You are always guaranteed to get silver, sleep powder, source liquid, and either precious or moon metal lumps or dragon scale or drake hide. You also have a chance to get gems or tools. The amount will increase for each of these as the quality of the map increases. So basically at 20 quality you would get two silver, 2 sleep powder, etc. And you would get a chance at more items from different groups.
Some of the things you can get are armor, weapons, tools, shoulder pads, rift jewelry, kingdom items (tabards, flags, banners, unfinished guard towers, unfinished wagons), masks, helmets, hota statues, lumps (adamantite, gold, silver, seryll, giimmersteel), drake hide, dragon scale, rift resources used to make the runes that give bonuses to armor and weapons like enchantments.
To use a map:
Activate your compass and then right click on the treasure map and choose Read Map.
You'll see a timer run and then finish. You will then get one of several messages based on your distance in tiles from the treasure chest.
It will look something like this - [22:15:08] The marked spot is very far away behind you to the left. So you would consult the table below and roughly head the direction that is behind you and then to your right.
You will have to keep using the compass on the map and consult the messages until you get the treasure chest spot.
Once you get to the spot, activate your shovel and right click on the map and Dig up Treasure. A chest and several monsters will spawn. Loot the chest, kill and loot the monsters, then bury the corpses.
Keep in mind that each time you use a compass on the map, it will damage the map, and damage the compass. A higher quality compass will lessen this damage.
