Traveling to this hex will also cost somewhere around 47.5m-52m GP.
 
To reach level 120 you will have to move 2-3 more times to areas with higher exp. Hex experience is based on the level of the hex, therefore the best exp is in the high level areas.

This article is about training the Cartography skill. For the skill itself, see Cartography.
This page is up to date (v1.2.2).
Cartography


Before Starting Cartography

There are a few bonuses that come from other skills that can boost Cartography. Due to Cartography's 5s Base Interval, it's advised to grab as many of the Interval and Survey reductions as possible to minimize the amount of time you spend surveying. The Superior Cartography Skillcape gives -30% Survey Interval which makes Skill XP boosts very valuable as well if you wish to go for full map mastery as well.

  • Nysa, unlocked at Astrology Level 45, provides upwards of +8% Skill XP and -5% Survey Interval at Mastery Level 60.
  • River Crossing, unlocked at Agility Level 10 and requiring Cartography Level 15, provides -5% Survey Interval and +5% Skill XP.
  • Ocean Drifting, unlocked at Agility Level 80 and requiring Cartography Level 70 and Archaeology Level 70, provides -5% Cartography Interval.

Cartography has 8 Temporary -2% Survey Interval Points of Interest that last for 10 moves. It's important that you know where these are located since they can only be discovered once. The locations can be seen in (TODO: Fix this)second goal.

You may want to gather the materials required to purchase all (TODO: Fix this)Ship Upgrades Ship Upgrades from the Shop before starting. It is not necessary to do so however it may reduce the amount of times you need to swap obstacles.

Training Cartography

Since Skill XP boosts will change the pathing of this guide. This guide will be using the following to setup. Note this is not the most optimal setup. Check the (TODO: Fix this)XP Table and (TODO: Fix this)Interval Table below for other boosts.

This gives a total of 26% Skill XP out of the maximum 54% in the Base Game and 57% with .

Getting the Old Spyglass and Cartographer's Enhancement

Visual Representation for Steps 1-4

An image has been supplied as a visual aid on where to go. The step numbers align with the numbered point on the map.

  1. Follow the Red Path Port at (12, 19) and Survey this hex until you are level 10. You will not fully survey the Port yet
    • Make sure to Discover Old Village at (13, 17)
    • If you Survey The Southern Lighthouse at (12, 18), make sure you do not Discover this POI. The temporary -2% Survey Interval Discovery Reward will be used later
  2. Follow the Blue Path until you Discover Monuments at (6, 11).
  3. Follow the Green Path and Discover Coral Wreckage at (7, 22). This will unlock the ability to get Old Spyglass and thus Archaeology will need to be done. You are mainly looking for 1-2 key items.
    1. The Old Spyglass from Coral Wreckage for -10% Survey Interval
    2. If travel costs are an issue, you may also get Sailor's Compass from Coral Wreckage for -6% Travel Costs
    • It is recommended to upgrade the starting Coral Wreckage map to Perfect and, if you have the GP to do so, refine it to reduce the Medium Artefact Value to maximize the chance of getting the Old Spyglass.
    • After obtaining the Old Spyglass, you will want to Discover The Vibrant Coral Gardens at (6, 22) which rewards the 500 Coral needed for Ocean Drifting, which will be built later.
  4. Follow the Purple Path which will Discover The Jagged Labyrinth at (5, 7) and unlock the ability to purchase Cartographer's Enhancement for 3,000,000GP. Upon reaching Cartography Level 60, you will be able to purchase Ship Anchor Upgrade.

Fully Surveying all of the Temporary POI Hexes

Visual Representation for Steps 5-10

An image has been supplied as a visual aid on where to go. The step numbers align with the numbered point on the map.

Do not Discover the following POIs unless otherwise stated. The goal is to Survey them, not Discover them.

  1. Follow the Blue Path and Survey The Pink Kraken at (4, 16) and The Western Lighthouse at (1, 18)
    • The Port at (2, 19) can be Discovered which can help reduce the travel costs later
  2. Follow the Green Path and Survey The Southern Lighthouse at (12, 18), The Watchful Ship at (14, 20) and A Sadge Kraken at (12, 21)
    • The Port at (12, 19) can be Discovered which can help reduce the travel costs later
  3. The next POIs will be towards the South side of the map along the Purple Path. Survey The Sea Noodle at (23, 25). You will need to Discover Fisherman's Enclave at (22, 22) before Surveying the entire map.
    • Along the Purple Path to Fisherman's Enclave, there is a Port that can be Discovered at (21, 20)
    • At Cartography Level 70, you will unlock the Shop Purchase Ship Rudder Upgrade as well as the Agility Obstacle, Ocean Drifting. It is recommended you get both of these if possible.
  4. Next up is the Orange Path. You will want to Discover both Old Mine at (23, 14) and The Abandoned Vein Mine at (22, 15). These POIs need to be Discovered before Surveying the entire map.
  5. Along the Gray Path, Survey Capital City Lighthouse at (27, 13), and The Pushy Sailor at (29, 9)
    • The Port at (27, 14) can be Discovered which can help reduce the travel costs later. You may grab this before heading to The Pushy Sailor
    • At Cartography Level 85, you will be able to Purchase Ship Keel Upgrade

Fully Surveying the Map

Moving to The Edge of Darkness will cost around 50m GP. If you wish to cut this cost down, you can Survey ONE of the following 2 POIs then Survey The Shimmering Sands Outpost at (18, 15).

  1. Seashade Village at (7, 20) which is conveniently located above Coral Wreckage
  2. Rosedale at (27, 18). While this would take a bit longer, it's along the way to Bandit Hideout which is good if you plan to do some Thieving

When you are ready to get the interval POIs, Discover one of the first 2 POIs for -5% Cartography travel costs, THEN Discover The Shimmering Sands Outpost for -10% Cartography travel costs.

With all of the Temporary -2% Survey Interval POIs fully Surveyed, it's time to Discover all of them without traveling to any unnecessary hexes in between. These boosts will only last for 10 moves and there are 8 POIs (+2 if you chose to decrease travel costs). Even though you have 2 spare moves, it is important you do not waste these. You will need to move once at Cartography Level 100 and again after fully Surveying the North East corner. The order for the first 7 POIs is not important however you want to make sure you end on The Pushy Sailor at (29, 9).

Start Auto Surveying at (26, 8). This will require you to Survey (27, 9) and (27, 8) first. At Cartography Level 90 you will want to restart the Auto Survey at (28, 12) so the Level 90 Hexes around (30, 16) get Surveyed. At Cartography Level 99 the second last Ship Upgrade, Ship Crow's Nest Upgrade, can be purchased.

Upon reaching Cartography Level 100, you want to manually Survey towards the East wall of the map then upwards, leaving the last hex so you can start Auto Surveying without moving. Ideally you want to be active here so you can immediately move when The Edge of Darkness at (31, 0) is fully surveyed. This will unlock the Shop Purchase, Cartographer's Knowledge for 50,000,000GP. Traveling to this hex will also cost somewhere around 47.5m-52m GP.

To reach level 120 you will have to move 2-3 more times to areas with higher exp. Hex experience is based on the level of the hex, therefore the best exp is in the high level areas This map can help visualize where the high exp zones are.

  1. The first location you will want to move to is the snowy area in the bottom middle, around (17, 25) since this is a dense, compact area. #* Upon reaching Cartography Level 110, the final Ship Upgrade, Ship Combat Overhaul, can be purchased
  2. The top middle is going to be the second location, around (12, 2) so you can grab the level 80 and 90 hexes to the East and West
  3. The last location will be the center of the map, around (16, 11) and start surveying the higher level hexes in the area, ignoring the level 35 hexes. You may utilize Auto Survey here

Upon reaching Cartography Level 120, you will want to purchase and equip the Superior Cartography Skillcape then Auto Survey until all 944 hexes have been Mastered.
