==Before Starting Cartography==
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.
* {{ConstellationIcon|Nysa}}, unlocked at {{SkillReq|Astrology|45}}, provides upwards of <span style="color:green">+8% Skill XP</span> and <span style="color:green">-5% Survey Interval</span> at Mastery Level 60.
* {{AgilityIcon|River Crossing}}, unlocked at {{SkillReq|Agility|10}} and requiring {{SkillReq|Cartography|15}}, provides <span style="color:green">-5% Survey Interval</span> and <span style="color:green">+5% Skill XP</span>.
* {{AgilityIcon|Ocean Drifting}}, unlocked at {{SkillReq|Agility|80}} and requiring {{SkillReq|Cartography|70}} and {{SkillReq|Archaeology|70}}, provides <span style="color:green">-5% Cartography Interval</span>.
Cartography has 8 '''Temporary''' <span style="color:green">-2% Survey Interval</span> 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. <span style="color:red">Do not discover these POIs until later</span>. These are {{POIIcon|The Western Lighthouse}} at (1, 18),  {{POIIcon|The Pink Kraken}} at (4, 16), {{POIIcon|The Southern Lighthouse}} at (12, 18), {{POIIcon|A Sadge Kraken}} at (12, 21), {{POIIcon|The Watchful Ship}} at (14, 20), {{POIIcon|The Sea Noodle}} at (23, 25), {{POIIcon|Capital City Lighthouse}} at (27, 13), and {{POIIcon|The Pushy Sailor}} at (29, 9).
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.
==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.
* {{ConstellationIcon|Nysa|Nysa's}} Survey Interval at -3% and Skill XP at 6%
* {{AgilityIcon|River Crossing}}, {{AgilityIcon|Pit Jump}}, {{AgilityIcon|Tree Climb}} and {{AgilityIcon|A Lovely Jog}} will built for -5% Survey Interval and 17% Skill XP
* {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Book of Scholars}} will be worn for 8% Skill XP
This gives a total of 31% Skill XP out of the maximum 54% in the Base Game and 57% with {{TotH}}.

===Dig Site Map Upgrading and Refinement===
Discovering a Dig Site rewards the player with an Excellent tier Dig Site Map, which should be enough to discover most of the artefacts at least once. Only spend the time to upgrade a Dig Site Map if you are going for a more rare item, or if you have used up your free Dig Site Map.
If the player has enough {{Icon|GP}}, refining a map is very useful to boost the chances on a Dig Site. <span style="color:green">-5 Artefact value</span> and <span style="color:green">+1 minimum Items found</span> are the most useful refinements. Be strategic when choosing which size artefact to refine.
==Fastest Experience==
Start by excavating Common and Uncommon artefacts of all sizes in every available Dig Site. Submit one of every new artefact in the Museum tab to obtain milestone rewards. Prioritize discovering new Dig Sites in Cartography instead of getting the Rare, Very Rare, and Legendary items, unless they are items which unlock other Dig Sites or are desirable for other Skills.
