The rewards from the same quest category but different levels aren't related to the effort it takes to complete the difficulty of the quests.

A level five is paying out higher than a 112 even though the higher level is requiring more effort.

I agree. How come the simpler quest gets 2 pirate maps and the difficult one gets no maps at all. And the money does not go up proportionnally. I thinnk 2 maps is too many for the simple explore task.

I wish that we had a choice of not getting maps but something else. I don't capture and my inventory is stuffed full of useless maps that I can't dispose of.
