Cartography is a skill in which the player can explore the map of Melvor, uncovering hidden areas and secrets throughout their journey.
Skill Overview
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. When first uncovering the map, each tile 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 tiles will be increased to 5.
Hex Level | Total Surveys | Difference |
---|---|---|
1 | 24 | 24 |
2 | 108 | 84 |
3 | 264 | 156 |
4 | 504 | 240 |
5 | 864 | 360 |
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 various boosts.
Undiscovered Hexes
These icons will appear on undiscovered Hexes if there is something to discover underneath.

Types of "Points of Interest"
These are the types of "Points of Interest" that can be discovered underneath a Hex.

Used when traveling to significantly reduce GP cost to get to a location. These are automatically used when traveling. |
Creating Maps
In addition to surveying, Cartography is used to create the Dig Site Maps used in Archaeology. Creating a map has three steps:
First, the player can convert any type of Logs into 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.
Second, the player can select a dig site 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 maps costs paper and has a base interval of 5 seconds, which is affected by the same interval reduction bonuses as creating paper as well as by the chance to preserve resources.
Third, the player can refine the selected map until the maximum number of refines is reached. At each step the player will be given a choice of three options to pick from which will permanently upgrade that map. Each refinement costs more than the previous one.

Dig Site Map Refinement
Each Dig Site Map tier unlocks new refinements which can be purchased. Refinements exclusively affect the Dig Site Map it is applied on.
Skillcapes
The Cartography Skillcape can be purchased from the store for 1,000,000
after the player reaches
Level 99.
The Superior Cartography Skillcape can be purchased from the store for 10,000,000
after the player reaches
Level 120.
Regular Skillcape
The Cartography Skillcape is the skillcape for the Cartography skill. It can be purchased for 1,000,000
from the Shop once the player reaches
Level 99 in the Cartography skill. The Cartography Skillcape offers the following benefits when worn:
-20% Cartography Dig Site Map upgrade interval, -10% dig site map refinement cost, and +10% Chance to Preserve Resources in Cartography
Superior Skillcape
The Superior Cartography Skillcape is the superior skillcape for the Cartography skill. It can be purchased for 10,000,000
from the Shop once the player reaches
Level 120 in the Cartography skill.
Level 120 can only be reached if the player owns the
Throne of the Herald expansion. Likewise, the superior skillcape can only be purchased if the player owns this expansion. The superior skillcape offers the following benefits when worn:
-30% Cartography survey interval, -50% Cartography Dig Site Map upgrade interval, -20% dig site map refinement cost, and +20% Chance to Preserve Resources in Cartography
Pets
Skye is unlocked at random by performing any Cartography action.
Hex is unlocked by surveying the entire map to the initial maximum Hex level.
Carthulu is unlocked after 944 Hexes have been Mastered (Reach Level 5 on every Hex. The option to do this for Level 2 Hexes is unlocked after you survey the entire map for the first time).
Pet | Name | DLC | Effect |
---|---|---|---|

![]() | Hex | ![]() | +3% Global Mastery XP |

Shop Upgrades
The shop contains several upgrades that can be purchased to provide permanent boosts to Cartography. These fall into two categories:
Ship Upgrades
Ship upgrades require a specific Cartography level in addition to various items in order to purchase.
Enhancements
Enhancements require the player to discover specific points of interest first, at which point they can be purchased by spending the required amount of GP.
