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. Getting the {{ItemIcon|Aranite Sieve|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Aranite Trowel|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Aranite Brush|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Aranite Shovel|notext=true}}Aranite Tool Set will be worth the time investment since {{ItemIcon|Captains Logbook}} will require {{SkillReq|Archaeology|105}} and finding Artefacts rewards more XP than finding nothing.

After obtaining the {{ItemIcon|Old Spyglass}}, you will want to Discover {{POIIcon|The Vibrant Coral Gardens}} at (6, 22) which rewards the {{ItemIcon|Coral|qty=500}} needed for {{AgilityIcon|Ocean Drifting}}, which will be built later.

Follow the (path) towards {{POIIcon|The Pirate's Treasure Trails}} at (10, 6) and Discover this hex. It is important this POI gets discovered before Surveying the entire map.

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. There is a Port at (2, 19) which can help reduce the travel costs later.

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). '''Do not Discover''' these POIs. There is a Port at (12, 19) which can help reduce the travel costs later.

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.
(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. 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.

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. If you are not {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}} yet, Survey these. At {{SkillReq|Cartography|85}}, you will be able to Purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Keel Upgrade}}.

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. Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}}, Discover {{POIIcon|Cathedral}} at (6, 3).
