Cartography: Difference between revisions

In addition to surveying, Cartography can help create the {{Icon|dig site|Dig Site|nolink=true}} Maps used in {{Skill|Archaeology}}. Creating a map has three stages:

# Convert any type of [[:Category:Logs|Logs]] into {{ItemIcon|Paper}}. Higher tier logs will produce more paper. Turning logs into paper has a base interval of 5 seconds, which can be reduced by bonuses that affect non-combat skill intervals and can also be affected by chance to double items or chance to preserve resources. You can also earn paper by completing tasks and discovering certain sites in {{Skill|Cartography}}.

# Select a {{Icon|dig site|nolink=true}} and create a map in one of the map slots for that dig site. If they already have a map for the selected slot, map creation actions will instead make progress on upgrading the map towards the next tier. Creating and upgrading maps costs paper and has a base interval of 5 seconds. This interval can be reduced through bonuses, and in addition you can increase the chance of preserving resources.

# Optionally, select a map and select one or more refinements. At each refinement, you are given a choice of refinement will permanently upgrade that map. Each refinement costs more than the previous one. Any refinements will be lost once the map has been exhausted through {{Skill|Archaeology}} actions.
