What makes these difficult to come by is the fact that they’re a Map within a Map. Unhidden Leather Maps, while only Level 50, must be received as a reward from one of these other types:

Getting Your Nutkin Minion (Best Method)
Once you’ve gathered a Map, you’ll need to discover its location and defeat the monsters that spawn. Once that’s accomplished, hold your breath and open your coffer. With any luck it’ll contain an Unhidden Leather Map, which you’ll also need to discover. These Maps are obscure & contain exceedingly valuable materials. Not to mention that Nutkin Minion you’re looking for! The possible rewards from an Unhidden Leather Map are:
Faded Copy of “The Only Path” Orchestrion Roll Ahriman Tears Mariner Cotton Cloth Cutting Oil Morbol Saliva Chinchilla Hide Belah’dian Silver Frosted Glass Lens Lotus Leaf Dress Material Imitation Mistbeard Mask Imperial Shadow Visor Mist Silk Polarized Glass Spriggan Cap Nutkin Minion Exquisite Buttons Grade 3 La Noscean Topsoil Grade 3 Shroud Topsoil Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil Elemental Clusters
Many of these fetch high prices, making your time investment worth it. Even if you don’t immediately come away with a Nutkin. But there are three other methods to acquiring this elusive squirrel:
Other Methods
Optional Method 1: Féte Presents
These are acquired from Fétes in The Firmament Zone in Ishgard. They occur roughly every two days and require a crafter or Gatherer. Opening the Presents you receive at the dn can yield a Nutkin, though rare.
Optional Method 2: Material Container 3.0
These are purchased from your Grand Company for 20,000 Seals. They can contain nearly any Minion from the Heavensward Expansion. Including the Nutkin! However, the loot table is massive so it isn’t a direct method.
Optional Method 3: Bronze-trimmed Sack
These are pieces of the Accursed Hoard from the Palace of the Dead. They can be found on Floors 1-50, and among the many Minions it offers the Nutkin is included. These three alternatives aren’t truly direct methods for your Nutkin, but they’re viable should you not be capable of gathering Maps. The Unhidden Leather Map is your absolute best chance, though. Best of luck in your hunt!
