Any skill XP earned over the ceiling cap will be deleted, but the mastery and global mastery XP work as normal. For most skilling XP is unlimited, but for {{Skill|Cartography}} the maximum XP available from surveying is fixed (944 tiles). It is therefore recommended that you do not waste too much survey XP until you are sufficiently levelled to reveal the full map.

=== When to fully explore cartography ===
It is not recommended that you fully explore {{Skill|Cartography}} (or use Auto Survey) until you are at least {{SkillReq|Cartography|100}}. In {{Skill|Cartography}} if you survey beyond your level cap, then you will be wasting valuable XP and it is likely to limit how much of the map you will be bale explore. This loss of survey XP is hard to recover from.
If you do end up needing more XP, then the only option available is to create and upgrade maps which consumes a lot of {{ItemIcon|Paper}} and is not a generous source of XP.
In summary, explore {{Skill|Cartography}} manually unless you are fully levelled and try to avoid wasting too much XP. You have been warned!
