Good work so far. There is another way to get at least map piece 4 and maybe others (unconfirmed) and all it costs is food.
There is a gift system for npcs that seems to give random collectibles. I stumbled across one gift called a cylindrical box which came from a wandering swordsman near a house on a hill above vellua fishing village. Inside was treasure map piece 4. It was my first ever attempt at bribing npcs with food, so i dont know if it is 100% rng or if random npcs are carrying map pieces with them as fixed drops, but building trust with random can win excellent prizes if you are lucky.
