There are many bonuses that come from other skills and shop-purchases that can significantly boost Cartography. The base interval for Cartography is 5 seconds which can be reduced with various unlocks shown at the end of this guide.

The {{ItemIcon|Superior Cartography Skillcape}} provides <span style="color:green">-30% Survey Interval</span> which makes Skill XP boosts very valuable as well if you wish to go for full map mastery. | There are many bonuses that come from other skills and shop-purchases that can significantly boost Cartography.

If you are playing a gamemode that caps your experience gain, it is strongly advised you do not survey while at your exp cap. While you will not be locked out of any content, you will be forced to level Cartography by making paper or upgrading maps which is significantly less exp than surveying. | If you are playing a gamemode that caps your experience gain, it is strongly advised you do not survey while at your exp cap.

#* | #* Upgrading the map is worth doing. It will take {{Time|8160}} with a 4.25s action time (not including paper making time) plus another {{Time|5820}} to get the Spyglass, assuming an Artefact value of 1. Without upgrading the map, it is expected to take {{Time|12960}}. While it might be ''slightly'' faster to not upgrade the map, if you run out of excavation actions and need to make a new map, it'll greatly increase the time it takes to get the Spyglass. It will also allow you to double your spyglass drop (by refining the map all the way) which can be donated to the museum. | ||
