There are | There are many bonuses that come from other skills and shop-purchases that can significantly boost Cartography. The base interval for Cartography is 5 seconds which can be reduced with various unlocks shown at the end of this guide. It is strongly advised to grab as many of the Cartography/Survey Interval Reductions. The {{ItemIcon|Superior Cartography Skillcape}} provides <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. | ||
If you are playing a gamemode that caps your experience gain, it is strongly advised you do not survey while at your exp cap. While you will not be locked out of any content, you will be forced to level Cartography by making paper or upgrading maps which is significantly less exp than surveying. | |||

After you survey POIs a pop-up will ask you to choose between '''Travel''' or '''View Later'''. It's crucial to always select '''View Later''' as this will not bring you to the POI you just surveyed. Additionally, exercise caution to avoid inadvertently travelling through Hexes that will be discovered in the next step. | ||

Once initiated, you'll find yourself committed and unable to switch to other activities seamlessly. The Auto Survey action extends beyond your current visibility range, disregarding any boosts you've obtained. Therefore, it's essential to carefully consider any ongoing costs, such as those related to the Township, as there will be limited opportunities for earning fresh income during this process. Additionally, attempting to reveal the full map without following the outlined steps is not recommended. You may encounter difficulties fully exploring the map due to levelling requirements. | ||
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 2 POIs then '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|The Shimmering Sands Outpost}} at (18, 15). | Moving to {{POIIcon|The Edge of Darkness}} will cost around 50m GP.

Start Auto Surveying at (26, 8). This will require you to Survey (28, 9) and (27, 8) first. To ensure that Auto Survey covers the higher-level hexes at the top of the map and extends the survey beyond your current visibility level, it's crucial not to interrupt the auto-surveying process while it is idling. Occasionally, you will see POI prompts appear and for these you should click "View Later" to avoid moving from this position. At Level 90 you will want to restart the Auto Survey at (28, 12) so the Level 90 Hexes around (30, 16) get Surveyed. Levels 85 and 99 unlock 2 more [[{{PAGENAME}}#Ship_Upgrades|Ship Upgrades]]. | Start Auto Surveying at (26, 8). This will require you to Survey (28, 9) and (27, 8) first.

Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|100}}, you want to manually Survey towards the East wall of the map then upwards, leaving the last hex so you can start Auto Surveying without moving. Ideally you want to be active here so you can immediately move when {{POIIcon|The Edge of Darkness}} at (31, 0) is fully surveyed so that you can benefit from this Hex immediately. Moving to (31, 0) will unlock the Shop Purchase, {{UpgradeIcon|Cartographer's Knowledge}} for {{GP|50000000}}.

After moving to The Edge of Darkness, Auto Survey until the remainder of the map is revealed. You can start Auto Survey from one of the hexes near to your current position. Depending on how much of the map is already surveyed so far, it is unlikely that you will want to move from Hex (31, 0) because the temporary travel bonuses should still be active, which will be greatly reducing your survey interval. | After moving to The Edge of Darkness, Auto Survey until the remainder of the map is revealed.
