Before Starting Cartography
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. It is strongly advised to grab as many of the Cartography/Survey Interval Reductions. The 
Superior Cartography Skillcape provides -30% Survey Interval which makes Skill XP boosts very valuable (due to the finite number of high level, high XP hexes) as well if you wish to go for full map mastery.
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.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingNysa, unlocked atError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 45, provides upwards of +8% Skill XP and -5% Survey Interval atError creating thumbnail: File missingMastery Level 60.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingRiver Crossing, unlocked atError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 10 and requiringError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 15, provides -5% Survey Interval and +5% Skill XP.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingOcean Drifting, unlocked atError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 80 and requiringError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 70 andError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 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 the image in the second goal section.
You may want to gather the materials required to purchase all Ship Upgrades from the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shopbefore 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 XP Table and Interval Table below for other boosts.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingNysa's with -3% Survey Interval and +6% Skill XP
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingPit Jump,Error creating thumbnail: File missingTree Climb andError creating thumbnail: File missingA Lovely Jog will built for +12% Skill XP
Firemaking Skillcape and 
Book of Scholars will be worn for 8% Skill XP
This gives a total of 26% Skill XP out of the maximum 66% in the Base Game and 69% with 
.
Getting Old Spyglass and Cartographer's Enhancement
An image has been supplied as a visual aid on where to go. The step numbers align with the numbered point on the map.
- Follow the Red Path to the 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
- Make sure to Discover
- Follow the Blue Path until you Discover
Monuments at (6, 11)
- Digging for Tiny Artefacts at Monuments will allow you to get 8
Golden Leaf which can be upgraded into 
Golden Wreath for +3% Skill XP - Spending the extra time at Monuments to get 5
Aranite Brush will increase your chances of getting the Old Spyglass in the next step - Discovering
The Monolith at (5, 10) can help reduce the map making interval which will be useful when upgrading the Coral Wreckage map, if you go that route - At Level 15 you will be able to build Error creating thumbnail: File missingRiver Crossing. Levels 20, 35, and 50 unlocks the first 3 Ship Upgrades
- Digging for Tiny Artefacts at Monuments will allow you to get 8
- If you are not Level 50, get the Shop Purchase in step 4 then return for this step. Follow the Green Path and Discover
Coral Wreckage at (7, 22). You are mainly looking for 1-2 key items
- The
Old Spyglass for -10% Survey Interval - If travel costs are an issue, you may also get
Sailor's Compass for -6% Travel Costs
- If you have the GP to do so, refining the Coral Wreckage map to reduce the Medium Artefact Value will help get the Spyglass faster
- Upgrading the map is worth doing. It will take 2 hours, 19 minutes with a 4.35s action time (not including paper making time) plus another 1 hour, 37 minutes to get the Spyglass, assuming an Artefact value of 1. Without upgrading the map, it is expected to take 3 hours, 36 minutes. 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.
- After obtaining the Old Spyglass, you will want to Discover
The Vibrant Coral Gardens at (6, 22) which rewards the 500 
Coral needed for Error creating thumbnail: File missingOcean Drifting, which will be built later
- The
- Follow the Purple Path which will Discover
The Jagged Labyrinth at (5, 7) and unlock the ability to purchase Error creating thumbnail: File missingCartographer's Enhancement for 3,000,000
- Level 60 unlocks another Ship Upgrade
- The following POIs can be useful if you do not have the 28,000
Redwood Logs for 
Ship Rudder Upgrade and 
Ship Crow's Nest Upgrade or the 12,000 
Cursed Logs for 
Ship Keel Upgrade
The Treacherous North located at (4, 9) which rewards 5,000 Redwood Logs
The Ancient Wreckage located at (7, 7) which rewards 1,000 Cursed Logs
- Follow the Orange Path towards
The Pirate's Treasure Trails at (10, 6) and Discover this hex. It is important this POI gets discovered before Surveying the entire map.
Fully Surveying all of the Temporary POI Hexes
An image has been supplied as a visual aid on where to go. The step numbers align with the numbered point on the map.
When surveying the following POIs the goal is to Survey them, not Discover them unless explicitly stated. After you survey POIs a pop-up will ask you to choose between Travel or View Later. It's crucial to always select View Later as this will not bring you to the POI you just surveyed. Additionally, exercise caution to avoid inadvertently travelling through Hexes that will be discovered in the next step.
- 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
- 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 cost {GP} later
- 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 path to Fisherman's Enclave, there is a Port that can be Discovered at (21, 20)
- At Level 70, you will unlock another Ship Upgrade as well as the Obstacle, Error creating thumbnail: File missingOcean Drifting. It is recommended you get both of these if possible.
- You will need Archaeology at Level 70 for Ocean Drifting. The next step passes by
Secret Mines (21, 15) and 
Quarry (20, 13). Along with Coral Wreckage, you can get all of the Rare and lower Artefacts (plus an extra if it's a useful item) at these dig sites. You could also go to 
Ancient Market (0, 14) and 
Stoneworkers (24, 14) for the 
Aranite Trowel and 
Aranite Shovel first which would increase Error creating thumbnail: File missingArchaeology XP rates.
- You will need Archaeology at Level 70 for Ocean Drifting. The next step passes by
- 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 - 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 cost later. It is recommended to discover this before heading to The Pushy Sailor
- The
Lost Temple at (23, 8) should be Discovered to unlock 
Crystalized Dragon Fragment which is required to unlock the Ship Keel Upgrade at Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 85. - Optionally
Ritual Site at (2, 2) can be Discovered to unlock Cursed Logs in woodcutting.
- Ideally this step can be skipped by completing the Township Task for defeating 100 Error creating thumbnail: File missingSoul Taker Witch rewarding 25,000 Cursed Logs.
- This is required to unlock the Ship Keel Upgrade at Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 85 if the logs from the township task are no longer in your inventory.
- This requires Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 80 so going to a high XP area to level up may be required. Refer to the diagram in the Mastering the Map section to identify high XP areas.
- Ideally this step can be skipped by completing the Township Task for defeating 100

Revealing the full Map
For this step, it's ideal that auto survey is not stopped at any point. If this does occur, restart auto surveying around the same location as the original hex. After discovering the interval POIs, refrain from moving unless the guide mentions to move.
This step is optional and can be skipped if travel costs are not an issue. Moving to 
The Edge of Darkness will cost up to 50,000,000, depending on discounts. 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).
Seashade Village at (7, 20) which is conveniently located above Coral Wreckage
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 Error creating thumbnail: File missingThieving.
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 Level 100 and 2-3 more times to hit Level 120. 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 by manually Surveying (28, 9) and (27, 8) then afterwards, Auto Survey (26, 8). If you cannot survey (26, 8) due to it being out of survey range, do not move. Survey whichever hex you can reach, ensuring that you auto survey the furthest one. The purpose of surveying this hex specifically is so Auto Survey reaches the higher level hexes near the top middle of the map. Occasionally, you will see POI prompts appear and for these you should click "View Later" to avoid moving from this position. At Level 90 you will want to restart Auto Survey at (28, 12) so the Level 90 Hexes around (30, 16) get Surveyed. Levels 85 and 99 unlock 2 more Ship Upgrades.
Upon reaching
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 100, you want to manually Survey (diagonally) towards the East wall of the map then upwards, leaving the last hex in your survey range so you can start Auto Surveying it without moving. Ideally you want to be somewhat active here since auto survey, if left for too long, will survey all the hexes in your sight range when you are standing on (31, 0), forcing you to move to start auto surveying again. Upon surveying (31, 0), move there. Moving to The Edge of Darkness will unlock the Shop Purchase,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartographer's Knowledge for 50,000,000. Traveling to this hex will also cost up to 50,000,000.
After moving to The Edge of Darkness, Auto Survey until the remainder of the map is fully surveyed. Start Auto Surveying a few hexes away from your current position. This will allow you to restart auto surveying in the event you stop surveying. You should not need to move from (31, 0) until the map is fully surveyed.
Mastering the Map
With the map fully revealed you will unlock the ability to master all hexes, which allows you to survey every Hex up to level 5.
To reach level 120 you will want to explore areas with higher XP. Hex experience is based on the level of the hex, and the best XP can be found clumped near important POIs. The provided map can help visualize where the highest XP zones are.
- The hexes surrounding The Edge of Darkness at (31, 0) are level 100. If you followed this guide you are already there so start by surveying these hexes.
- You will need to move to the second location which is the snowy area in the bottom middle, around (17, 25), since there are many high level hexes in this area.
- Upon reaching Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 110, the final Ship Upgrade,
Ship Combat Overhaul, can be purchased.
- Upon reaching
- The top middle is going to be the third location, around (12, 2) so you can grab the level 80 and 90 hexes to the East and West
- The last location will be the center of the map, around (16, 11). For this step, either manual or auto surveying can be done. If you have more XP boosts than this guide was using, you may hit level 120 faster by manually surveying. If you choose to auto survey, ensure you auto survey a hex or two away from your location to ensure auto survey can be restarted at any point without having to move.
Upon reaching
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 120, you will want to purchase and equip the Superior Cartography Skillcape then Auto Survey until all 944 hexes have they are fully Mastered.
With the map mastered, you can now explore all of the POIs that you have unlocked. Good luck!
