Follow the Blue Pentagon Path until you Discover {{POIIcon|Monuments}} at (6, 11).

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. If you are not already {{SkillReq|Cartography|50}}, continue North up the Purple Square Path before continuing.

Follow the Blue Pentagon Path until you Discover {{POIIcon|Monuments}} at (6, 11).

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}}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.

Discovering {{POIIcon|The Monolith}} at (5, 10) can help reduce the map making interval which will be useful soon. {{POIIcon|The Treacherous North}} is located at (4, 9) and rewards {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs|qty=5000|nolink=true}} and {{POIIcon|The Ancient Wreckage}} is located at (7, 7) and rewards {{ItemIcon|Cursed Logs|qty=1000|nolink=true}}. These can be useful if you do not have {{ItemIcon|Redwood Logs|qty=28000|nolink=true}} for {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Rudder Upgrade}} and {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Crow's Nest Upgrade}} or the {{ItemIcon|Cursed Logs|qty=12000|nolink=true}} for {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Keel Upgrade}}.

There is a group of level 50-65 hexes just South of {{POIIcon|The Pirate's Treasure Trails|nolink=true}} which can be used to get to {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}}. There are a group of {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}} hexes just to the East of this location. You will want to make your way towards {{POIIcon|Old Mine}} at (23, 14). You will need this POI as well as {{POIIcon|The Abandoned Vein Mine}} at (22, 15) before Surveying the entire map. This also leads to {{POIIcon|Secret Mines}} which has the {{ItemIcon|Shipment Chart}} which is needed to locate {{POIIcon|Ancient Forge}} at (20, 12). The Ancient Forge is where you can get the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Sieve|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Trowel|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Shovel|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Brush|notext=true}}Ancient Tool Set and will be useful for gaining the experience needed for {{SkillReq|Archaeology|105}} for {{POIIcon|Cathedral}}

You want to start Auto Surveying at (26, 8). This will require you to Survey (27, 9) and (27, 8) first. At {{SkillReq|Cartography|85}}, you will be able to Purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Keel Upgrade}}. At {{SkillReq|Cartography|90}} you will want to restart the Auto Survey at (28, 12) so the Level 90 Hexes around (30, 16) get Surveyed. At {{SkillReq|Cartography|99}} the second last Ship Upgrade, {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Crow's Nest Upgrade}}, can be purchased.

If you have {{SkillReq|Cartography|110}}


Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|100}}, you want to manually Survey (30, 9) and (31, 8). From here, Auto Survey (31, 7) until the corner hex is Fully Survyed. Ideally you will want to be active when this happens otherwise you will need to move which will result in losing one of the -2% Survey Interval POIs 1 turn sooner. After you fully Survey {{POIIcon|The Edge of Darkness}} at (31, 0), you will want to move there. This will unlock the Shop Purchase, {{UpgradeIcon|Cartographer's Knowledge}} for {{GP|50000000}}. Traveling to this hex will also cost somewhere around 47.5m-52m GP.

After purchasing Cartographer's Knowledge, continue to Auto Survey all until the entire map has been Surveyed and the corner hexes have been mastered. Moving to {{POIIcon|Cathedral}} at (6, 3) and finding {{ItemIcon|Ancient Wall Chart}} will allow you to Discover {{POIIcon|Shipwreck Cove}} which allows you to get {{ItemIcon|Captains Logbook}} for <span style="color:green">+8% Skill XP</span>.
To reach level 120 you will have to move 2-3 more times to areas with higher exp. Hex experience is based on the level of the hex, therefore the best exp is in the high level areas.

The first location you will want to move to is the snowy area in the bottom middle, around (17, 25) since this is a dense, compact area. Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|110}}, the final Ship Upgrade, {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Combat Overhaul}}, can be purchased. The top middle is going to be the second location, around (12, 2) so you can grab the level 80 and 90 hexes to the East and West. Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|120}}, you will want to purchase and equip the {{ItemIcon|Superior Cartography Skillcape}}. If you still have not reached {{SkillReq|Cartography|120}} after the first 2 locations, move to the center of the map, around (16, 11) and start surveying the hexes to the East since they are higher level than the ones on the left.
