=== When to fully explore cartography ===
It is not recommended that you fully explore {{Skill|Cartography}} (or use Auto Survey) until you are at least {{SkillReq|Cartography|100}}. In {{Skill|Cartography}} if you survey beyond your level cap, then you will be wasting valuable XP and it is likely to limit how much of the map you will be bale explore. This loss of survey XP is hard to recover from.
If you do end up needing more XP, then the only option available is to create and upgrade maps which consumes a lot of {{ItemIcon|Paper}} and is not a generous source of XP.
In summary, explore {{Skill|Cartography}} manually unless you are fully levelled and try to avoid wasting too much XP. You have been warned!
