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.

{{Disclaimer|If you do not wish to train Archaeology, getting to {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}} can be skipped, as well as getting {{ItemIcon|Captains Logbook}}. Overall, getting {{ItemIcon|Captains Logbook}} saves about a day of surveying in Cartography (while spending more time in Archaeology). If you plan to go this route, just get the Temp POIs in this step and avoid going through the {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}} area in the third and fourth step. Instead, go through the Desert or Water below this area.}} | |||
Following the Blue Pentagon Path, '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|The Pink Kraken}} at (4, 16) and {{POIIcon|The Western Lighthouse}} at (1, 18). '''Do not Discover''' these POIs.

Next, use the Green Star Path to travel West towards the starting point and '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|The Southern Lighthouse}} at (12, 18), {{POIIcon|The Watchful Ship}} at (14, 20) and {{POIIcon|A Sadge Kraken}} at (12, 21).

Next we will take a small detour for experience and a Port while also heading towards the next Temporary POIs. Follow the (Path) and Survey (7, 9), (8, 10), (9, 9) (10, 9), then {{POIIcon|The Bustling Port}} at (11, 8). This port is good exp and will provide a cheaper return trip. At {{SkillReq|Cartography|70}}, you 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. | |||
The following hexes will require {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}}. There are plenty of {{SkillReq|Cartography|65}} hexes in the area which you can Survey until {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}}, a few of which are POIs; {{POIIcon|High Lands}} for {{ItemIcon|Dragon Claw Fragment|qty=10}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw Fragment|qty=10}} at (11, 9), {{POIIcon|The Molten Peak}} just to discover another POI for Township tasks at (12, 11), {{POIIcon|Bazaar}} for a port at (15, 11). Afterwards, head towards the {{POIIcon|Quarry}} at (20, 13) while also Surveying (20, 12), (19, 11), {{POIIcon|The Perilous Ascent}} at (19, 10), {{POIIcon|Perilous Peaks}} at (19, 9). This is mostly for experience purposes however if you wish to Discover Perilous Ascent and Perilous Peaks for the Discovery Rewards feel free to do so. | |||
Next up is the Orange Circle Path. You will want to Discover both {{POIIcon|Old Mine}} at (23, 14) and {{POIIcon|The Abandoned Vein Mine}} at (22, 15). These POIs need to be discovered before Surveying the entire map. | Next up is the Orange Circle Path.

Along the Gray Triangle Path there are 2 POIs, {{POIIcon|Capital City Lighthouse}} at (27, 13), and {{POIIcon|The Pushy Sailor}} at (29, 9). ''Do not Discover''' these POIs. There is a Port at (27, 14). You may grab this before heading to {{POIIcon|The Pushy Sailor|nolink=true}} which you should be able to reach from (27, 11). There are a group of 8 {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}} hexes to the East.

(Image | (This step has been altered from the current Image, needs update) The next POIs will be towards the South side of the map. Along the Purple Square Path to {{POIIcon|Fisherman's Enclave}} at (22, 22), there is a Port at (21, 20). You will need to Discover this POI before Surveying the entire map. Survey {{POIIcon|The Sea Noodle}} at (23, 25). '''Do not Discover''' this POI. | ||
The final step will be reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}} then Discovering the {{POIIcon|Cathedral}} at (6, 3). There are 16 {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}} around the {{POIIcon|Cathedral}} worth a Base XP of 988,416. You will want to Discover {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}} at (2, 2) to make leveling Archaeology a bit smoother.

Moving to {{POIIcon|The Edge of Darkness}} will cost around 50m GP. If you wish to cut this cost down, you can Survey ONE of the following: {{POIIcon|Seashade Village}} at (7, 20), {{POIIcon|Willowshire}} at (25, 7), {{POIIcon|Rosedale}} at (27, 18) and then {{POIIcon|The Shimmering Sands Outpost}} at (18, 15). When you are ready to get the interval POIs, ensure you Discover one of the first ones first, then do {{POIIcon|The Shimmering Sands Outpost}} second since this one gives <span style="color:green">-10% Cartography travel costs</span> whereas the first ones only give <span style="color:green">-5% Cartography travel costs</span>. | |||
With all of the Temporary <span style="color:green">-2% Survey Interval</span> 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 you do not waste these. You will need to move once at {{SkillReq|Cartography|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 {{POIIcon|The Pushy Sailor}} at (29, 9). | With all of the Temporary <span style="color:green">-2% Survey Interval</span> POIs fully Surveyed, it's time to Discover all of them without traveling to any unnecessary hexes in between.
