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.

    , 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 (SECOND GOAL).

You may want to gather the materials required to purchase all (SHIP TABLE) Ship Upgrades from the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Before we start, this guide does not take worthwhile POIs into account. If you wish to branch away from the guide to gather POIs with useful items, feel free to do so. The Cartography page has a list of all Points of Interest and their Discovery rewards.

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 (XP TABLE) and (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 TotH.svg.

First Goal: Get the Old Spyglass and
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartographer's Enhancement

Visual Representation for Steps 1-4

An image has been supplied as a visual aid on where to go.

The first step will be taking the Red Diamond Path to the port at (12, 19). Survey this hex until you are level 10. Make sure to Discover Old Village at (13, 17).

The second step will be following the Blue Pentagon Path until you Discover Monuments at (6, 11) and reach at least

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 50

. At

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 15

you will be able to build

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
River Crossing

. At levels 20, 35, and 50 you will be able to purchase Ship Hull Upgrade, Ship Mast Upgrade, and Ship Sails Upgrade respectively.

For the third step, travel back South and use the Green Star 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 3 key items.

  1. 8 Golden Leaf from Monuments to upgrade into Golden Wreath for +3% Skill XP
  2. The Old Spyglass from Coral Wreckage for -10% Survey Interval
  3. 500 Coral from Coral Wreckage for
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ocean Drifting
    , which will be built later
  4. 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. If you wish to spend the extra time to reduce travel costs, there is a port at (12, 19) which you can discover before moving onto the next step.

The fourth and final step towards the first goal will be the Purple Square Path which will Discover The Jagged Labyrinth and unlock the ability to purchase

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartographer's Enhancement

for 3,000,000GP. Upon reaching

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 60

, you will be able to purchase Ship Anchor Upgrade.

Second Goal: Fully Survey all of the Temporary POI Hexes

Visual Representation for Steps 5-10

Start off with the Red Diamond Path towards The Pirate's Treasure Trails at (10, 6). It is important this POI gets discovered before Surveying the entire map.

There is a Port at (4, 10) however you will not need to travel back up to this location throughout this guide so this Port can be skipped. If you wish to grab it anyway, do so and use it to travel to (12, 19). We will start with the Blue Pentagon Path. Do not Discover The Southern Lighthouse at (12, 18), The Watchful Ship at (14, 20) and A Sadge Kraken at (12, 21). For now you just want to fully Survey them.

Next, use the Green Star Path to travel West towards Coral Wreckage then North-West. Do not Discover The Western Lighthouse at (1, 18) and The Pink Kraken at (4, 16). There is another port at (2, 19) which you can Discover to reduce the travel cost back to (12, 19).

The next POIs will be towards the East side of the map. Starting from (12, 19), follow the Purple Square Path to Fisherman's Enclave at (22, 22). You will need to Discover this POI before Surveying the entire map. There is a Port along the way at (21, 20). Do not Discover The Sea Noodle at (23, 25). Either along this path or the next path you will reach Level 70. This will unlock the Shop Purchase Ship Rudder Upgrade as well as the Agility Obstacle,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ocean Drifting

. It is recommended you grab both of these if possible.

Next up is the Orange Circle 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.

The final step towards the second goal are the 2 POIs are along the Gray Triangle Path. Do not Discover Capital City Lighthouse at (27, 13), and The Pushy Sailor at (29, 9). If you wish to grab the Port at (27, 14), do so before heading towards The Pushy Sailor.

Third Goal: Fully Survey the Map

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 turns and there are 8 POIs. Even though you have 2 spare moves, it is important not to waste these. You will need to move once at

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 100

and again after fully Surveying the North East corner. The order for the first 7 are not important however you want to make sure you end on The Pushy Sailor at (29, 9). You want to start Auto Surveying a hex that is the furthest away from you. This will give you the opportunity to stop Surveying and restart without having to move. From here there is not much else to do until you reach

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 100

. This will take around 65-70 hours. At

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 85

, you will be able to Purchase Ship Keel Upgrade. At

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 90

you will want to restart the Auto Survey so the Level 90 Hexes around (30, 16) get Surveyed. At

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

the second last Ship Upgrade, Ship Crow's Nest Upgrade, can be purchased. Upon reaching

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 100

, you want to start Surveying towards the North-East corner of the map. You do not need to move to do this. Make sure you do not Survey every hex in the corner. You will want to leave at least 1 hex (more is better) so you can start Auto Survey again. When you fully Survey The Edge of Darkness at (31, 0), you will want to move there. This will unlock the Shop Purchase,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartographer's Knowledge

for 50,000,000GP. Traveling to this hex will also cost somewhere around 47.5m-52m GP. After purchasing Cartographer's Knowledge, continue to Auto Survey all until the entire map has been Surveyed. After the map has been Surveyed, you will want to master all of the

hexes in the corner. At

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 110

the final Ship Upgrade, Ship Combat Overhaul, can be purchased. Upon reaching

, you will want to purchase and equip the Superior Cartography Skillcape. This will drastically reduce your Survey Interval.

Thieving is not better than the Dragon Javelin method by default. Both methods heavily depend on the buffs from items, passives, and skills. The most important boosts for this method are all buffs to Stealth and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

Interval Reductions. Although princess is unlocked at level 92, it likely will take until level 99 for the Thieving Skillcape and the 95% mastery pool bonus to have sufficient stealth bonuses for a high thieving success rate. Once

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

With the TotH.svg Throne of the Herald expansion, the items Grappling Hook and Thieving Shorts are available at level 100 from the
