Very high area CR sources are probably not lucrative enough #708

This applies both to party-of-level-12 areas and treasure maps.

The sigmoid functions have this downside in that doing a lower level area with a smaller party is almost certainly more efficient currently, because the area difficulty increase does not give a significant rise in loot value at the very high end of the spectrum.

The same goes for treasure maps at CR 15 specifically where most maps get extremely difficult to solve, and the loot isn't noticeably better.

Simply increasing loot quantity at these very high ranges (and possibly making chances for more items) might be enough for this. But graphs and spreadsheets are probably needed to do this right.

Turns out there's a 50% level boost on treasure maps already that I didn't remember existed... Maybe take that out and compensate with more rolls? My guess is that they are probably currently on the lower end of being worth the time doing. And definitely worse than the Demilich Trust Fund.
