The | 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. | ||
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]]. | |||
===Map Mastery=== | |||
When first uncovering the map, each hex will have a level between 1 and 5 that will determine how many times it must be surveyed in order to be fully discovered. Once the map has been fully discovered once, the max level for all hexes will be increased to 5. Leveling a hex to 5 is referred to as Mastering it, and Mastering all 944 hexes is referred to as Map Mastery | |||
