The World Map of Melvor consists of a grid of 944 hexagonal map tiles (called Hexes). The map layout is the same for all players and all players start on the same Hex (15, 16). The primary action for Cartography is Surveying map tiles in order to discover them.
The World Map of Melvor consists of a grid of 944 hexagonal map tiles (called Hexes). The map layout is the same for all players and all players start on {{Hex|15|16}}. The primary action for Cartography is Surveying map tiles in order to discover them.


Once a Hex has been fully discovered, the player may travel there. Some Hexes contain Points of Interest which will be revealed upon traveling to the tile. Visiting a Point of Interest will always provide a blurb of text explaining a bit about the location, and some Points of Interest will reward the player with resources upon the first visit.

The base interval for a Survey action is 5 seconds. It can be reduced through [[Cartography#Skill Boosts|various boosts]].

Prior to fully revealing the map, there are just over 100 hexes that can be mastered. The higher mastery levels can only happen once the map is fully revealed, which is sufficient to get to at least {{SkillReq|Cartography|100}} in most game modes. The map takes a total of 944*864=815,616 actions to fully master, for a total of 67,968 minutes (approximately 47 days) at the base time interval of 5 seconds, and will get you to over {{SkillReq|Cartography|120}} once this is complete.

Every time you travel, there is a random chance that a unique event will occur. The odds of these events occurring can be increased with certain shop-purchases. The travel events will often result in temporary boosts that last until you next travel, and eventually you might obtain a very rare item (hint!).

There is no way to disable travel events, and there is also a chance that travel events will repeat as time progresses given the limited number of events that can be discovered.

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:
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:
# '''Create paper:''' 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}}.

You can also earn paper by completing tasks and discovering certain sites in {{Skill|Cartography}}.
# '''Update maps:''' 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. All new maps, except the first map you receive, will be created at the Poor tier. Creating and upgrading maps costs paper and has a base interval of 5 seconds. The upgrade interval can be reduced through bonuses, and in addition you can increase the chance of preserving resources. Regardless of tier, every map for a {{Icon|dig site|nolink=true}} will always discover the same items, but with differing chances of success. Upgrading maps is optional, but recommended as it will greatly reduce time taken excavating sites for rare items. You will only gain the benefit of upgrading once the map has changed to the next tier, and once you have reached the final tier other maps in this site will also be upgraded unless you stop the action manually.

# '''Refine maps:''' 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 happens instantly, but the {{GP}} costs increase exponentially with each refinement. Refinements will be lost once the map has been exhausted through {{Skill|Archaeology}} actions.

Maps have three stages of upgrades that influence the Artefact Values of the Map for use in {{Skill|Archaeology}}, as well as increasing the amount of {{Skill|Archaeology}} actions that can be performed before the Map is exhausted.
 
Upgrading a map to the next tier always takes exactly 1920 actions (2h, 40m with the base Cartography interval of 5 seconds), and costs an amount of {{ItemIcon|Paper}} depending on the tier of map being upgraded.
