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 {{ItemIcon|Superior Cartography Skillcape}} gives <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 as well. | There are a few bonuses that come from other skills that can boost Cartography.

It's important that you know where these are located since they can only be discovered once. | Cartography has 8 '''Temporary''' <span style="color:green">-2% Survey Interval</span> Points of Interest that last for 10 moves.

You may want to gather the materials required to purchase all (SHIP TABLE) Ship Upgrades from the {{Icon|Shop}} before starting. It is not necessary to do so however it may reduce the amount of times you need to swap obstacles. | You may want to gather the materials required to purchase all (SHIP TABLE) Ship Upgrades from the {{Icon|Shop}} before starting.

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. [[Cartography#All_Points_of_Interest|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. | Since Skill XP boosts will change the pathing of this guide. This guide will be using the following to setup.

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

The second step will be following the Blue | The second step will be following the Blue Pentagon Path until you Discover {{POIIcon|Monuments}} at (6, 11) and reach at least {{SkillReq|Cartography|50}}. At {{SkillReq|Cartography|15}} you will be able to build {{AgilityIcon|River Crossing}}. At levels 20, 35, and 50 you will be able to purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Hull Upgrade}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Mast Upgrade}}, and {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Sails Upgrade}} respectively. | ||
For the third step, travel back South and use the Green Star Path and Discover {{POIIcon|Coral Wreckage}} at (7, 22). This will unlock the ability to get {{ItemIcon|Old Spyglass}} and thus Archaeology will need to be done. You are mainly looking for 3 key items. | |||
# {{ItemIcon|Golden Leaf|qty=8}} from {{POIIcon|Monuments}} to upgrade into {{ItemIcon|Golden Wreath}} for <span style="color:green">+3% Skill XP</span> | |||
# The {{ItemIcon|Old Spyglass}} from {{POIIcon|Coral Wreckage}} for <span style="color:green">-10% Survey Interval</span> | |||
# {{ItemIcon|Coral|qty=500}} from Coral Wreckage for {{AgilityIcon|Ocean Drifting}}, which will be built later | |||
# If travel costs are an issue, you may also get {{ItemIcon|Sailor's Compass}} from Coral Wreckage for <span style="color:green">-6% Travel Costs</span> | |||
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 {{POIIcon|The Jagged Labyrinth}} and unlock the ability to purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Cartographer's Enhancement}} for {{GP|3000000}}. Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|60}}, you will be able to purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Anchor Upgrade}}. | |||
=== Second Goal: Fully Survey all of the Temporary POI Hexes === | |||
[[File:CartographyGuide5-10-min.png|thumb|Visual Representation for Steps 5-10]] | |||
Start off with the Red Diamond Path towards {{POIIcon|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. <span style="color:red">Do not Discover</span> {{POIIcon|The Southern Lighthouse}} at (12, 18), {{POIIcon|The Watchful Ship}} at (14, 20) and {{POIIcon|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 {{POIIcon|Coral Wreckage}} then North-West. <span style="color:red">Do not Discover</span> {{POIIcon|The Western Lighthouse}} at (1, 18) and {{POIIcon|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 {{POIIcon|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). <span style="color:red">Do not Discover</span> {{POIIcon|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 {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Rudder Upgrade}} as well as the Agility Obstacle, {{AgilityIcon|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 {{POIIcon|Old Mine}} at (23, 14) and {{POIIcon|The Abandonded Vein Mine}} at (22, 15). These POIs need to be discovered before surveying the entire map. | |||
The | The final step towards the second goal is the 2 POIs are along the Gray Triangle Path. <span style="color:red">Do not Discover</span> {{POIIcon|Capital City Lighthouse}} at (27, 13), and {{POIIcon|The Pushy Sailor}} at (29, 9). If you wish to grab the Port at (27, 14), do so before heading towards The Pushy Sailor. | ||
<span style="color:red">Do not discover these POIs until later</span>. These are , , , , , , . | |||
