=== Travel Events === | |||
Every time you travel, there is a random chance that a unique event will occur. The odds of these events occurring can be increased with certain shop-purchases. The travel events will often result in temporary boosts that last until you next travel, and eventually you might obtain a very rare item. | |||
There is no way to disable travel events, and there is also a chance that travel events will repeat as time progresses given the limited number of events that can be discovered. | |||

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do: | |||
*'''Increased Skill XP:''' Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained. | |||
*'''Decreased Skill Interval:''' Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period. | |||
*'''Preservation Chance:''' Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed. In Cartography, this is only relevant when [[Cartography#Creating Maps|creating Paper or Dig Site Maps]]. | |||
*'''Increased Chance to Double Items:''' Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions. In Cartography, this is only relevant when [[Cartography#Creating Maps|creating Paper]]. | |||
*'''Increased Mastery XP''' boosts don't apply to Cartography as it does not have regular Mastery levels. They do not affect the rate at which you discover Hexes or achieve Map Mastery. | |||
For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the [[Skill Boosts]] page. | |||

Cartography is a skill in which the player can explore the map of Melvor, uncovering hidden areas and secrets throughout their journey.
Skill ID: melvorAoD:Cartography | |
Release Date: | 7 September 2023 (v1.2) |
Game Version: | ![]() |
Type: | Support |
Expansions information | |
Level 99: | ![]() |
Level 120: | ![]() |
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 (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 5.00 seconds. It can be reduced through 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. Initially only point-of-interest tiles will let you survey to level 5. Once the map has been fully discovered, the maximum level for all hexes will increase to 5. Levelling a hex to 5 is referred to as "Mastering" it, and Mastering all 944 hexes is referred to as "Map Mastery".
Hex Level | Total Surveys | Difference |
---|---|---|
1 | 24 | 24 |
2 | 108 | 84 |
3 | 264 | 156 |
4 | 504 | 240 |
5 | 864 | 360 |
Mastery Unlocks
Once enough tiles have been mastered, the following bonuses will be unlocked:
Hexes Mastered | Passive Bonuses | Rewards |
---|---|---|
100 | +5% Global Skill XP | 5 Bank Slot Token |
200 | +5% Global Mastery XP | 10 Bank Slot Token |
300 | None | 25 Bank Slot Token |
500 | +10% Global GP (except Item Sales) | 15 Bank Slot Token |
750 | None | 45 Bank Slot Token |
944 | -3% Interval for all Non-Combat Skills -3% Attack Interval | Carthulu |
Prior to fully revealing the map, there are just over 100 hexes that can be mastered. The higher mastery levels can only happen once the map is fully revealed, which is sufficient to get to at least Level 100 in most game modes. The map takes a total of 944*864=815,616 actions to fully master, for a total of 47 days, 4 hours, 48 minutes at the base time interval of 5.00 seconds, and will get you to over Level 120 once this is complete.
Undiscovered Hexes
These icons will appear on undiscovered Hexes if there is something to discover underneath.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
Denotes the location of an undiscovered Archaeology Dig Site. Locations for these dig sites can be learned with unique items in Archaeology. | |
Denotes an undiscovered Point of Interest (POI). Discovering a POI will reveal more of the lore, and may earn you a reward. | |
If "Toggle Cat" is enabled in Settings, then this icon will denote a hidden Archaeology Dig Site. It will display only when you locate a required Dig Site item in Archaeology (One example being the Torn Chart). |
Points of Interest
These are the types of Points of Interest (POIs) that can be discovered underneath a Hex.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
An Archaeology Dig Site. Use Cartography to create, upgrade or refine maps for dig sites. Use Archaeology to excavate dig sites you have discovered. | |
A standard Point of Interest (POI). If you select the tile you can read the lore associated with the POI to learn more. | |
Provides powerful modifiers, but these modifiers will only be active when you are standing on the Hex. | |
Provides free travel between ports. The ports are automatically used when two or more ports are discovered, and can help reduce travel expense when traveling long distances. |
Surveying
When you embark on a journey to explore a hex in Melvor Idle, your visibility extends to the tiles closest to you, with the tiles near the edge marking the limit of your sight. Over time, both your visible range and survey range will expand. Initially, you can only survey a hex that is adjacent to your starting tile.
There are two methods to survey tiles:
- Survey: This option allows you to queue one or more tiles for surveying. There's no limit to the number of tiles you can queue, but initially, you can only queue up to the six tiles surrounding your starting hex. Some tiles cannot be surveyed until certain conditions are met.
- Auto Survey: In idle mode, this feature enables automatic surveying of the entire map. Auto Survey is primarily designed for later in the game because early on many of the tiles have requirements that must be met before they can be surveyed.
Travelling
Travelling around the map costs and the total for every path taken is shown before you move to a new Hex. As the game progresses, you will find ways to reduce travel costs, but early in the game these costs can seem quite high. Each Hex has a different base cost, and you can see the cost of each tile on this map.
In the map, the colors represent the base costs associated with each tile.
Map Color | Travel Costs (per Hex) |
---|---|
Blue | Up to 5,000 |
Green | 5,000 to 25,000 |
Red | 25,000 to 1,500,000 |
Yellow | 1,500,000 upwards |
Travel Events
Every time you travel, there is a random chance that a unique event will occur. The odds of these events occurring can be increased with certain shop-purchases. The travel events will often result in temporary boosts that last until you next travel, and eventually you might obtain a very rare item.
There is no way to disable travel events, and there is also a chance that travel events will repeat as time progresses given the limited number of events that can be discovered.

Creating Maps
In addition to surveying, Cartography can help create the Dig Site Maps used in Archaeology. Creating a map has three stages:
- Create paper: Convert any type of Logs into Paper. Higher tier logs will produce more paper. Turning logs into paper has a base interval of 5.00 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. You can also earn paper by completing tasks and discovering certain sites in Cartography.
- Update maps: 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. All new maps, except the first map you receive, will be created at the Poor tier. Creating and upgrading maps costs paper and has a base interval of 5.00 seconds. The upgrade interval can be reduced through bonuses, and in addition you can increase the chance of preserving resources. Regardless of tier, every map for a dig site will always discover the same items, but with differing chances of success. Upgrading maps is optional, but recommended as it will greatly reduce time taken excavating sites for rare items. You will only gain the benefit of upgrading once the map has changed to the next tier, and once you have reached the final tier other maps in this site will also be upgraded unless you stop the action manually.
- Refine maps: Select a map and select one or more refinements. At each refinement, you are given a choice of refinement will permanently upgrade that map. Each refinement happens instantly, but the costs increase exponentially with each refinement. Refinements will be lost once the map has been exhausted through Archaeology actions. Refining maps is optional, but recommended as it will help reduce time taken excavating sites for rare items.
Upgrading Dig Site Maps
Maps have three stages of upgrades that influence the Artefact Values of the Map for use in Archaeology, as well as increasing the amount of Archaeology actions that can be performed before the Map is exhausted.
Upgrading a map to the next tier always takes exactly 1920 actions (2h, 40m with the base Cartography interval of 5 seconds), and costs an amount of Paper depending on the tier of map being upgraded.
Tier | Total Actions | Paper Per Action | Total Paper | Total Time1 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Poor | 0 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Fine | 1920 | 1 Paper | 1,920 Paper | 2h, 40m |
Excellent | 3840 | 2 Paper | 5,760 Paper | 5h, 20m |
Perfect | 5760 | 3 Paper | 11,520 Paper | 8h |
1Based on default action time of 5.00 seconds.
Dig Site Map Refinement
Each Dig Site Map tier unlocks new refinements which can be purchased. Refinements exclusively affect the Dig Site Map on which it is applied.

Skill Boosts
Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:
- Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
- Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
- Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed. In Cartography, this is only relevant when creating Paper or Dig Site Maps.
- Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions. In Cartography, this is only relevant when creating Paper.
- Increased Mastery XP boosts don't apply to Cartography as it does not have regular Mastery levels. They do not affect the rate at which you discover Hexes or achieve Map Mastery.
For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
