note the vector tiles will add up to 350 mb +- in file size at 1:253 scale.
If you also want the hillshade to go along with it, that will be additional file size depending on desired resolution.
In a new map add Terrain Multi Directional Hillshade from the Living Atlas.

Since the above steps are using Vector Tiles, the map will not be blurry and you will crisp detail when zoomed in.
