=== Fully Surveying all of the Temporary POI Hexes ===

When surveying the following POIs the goal is to '''Survey''' them, not '''Discover''' them unless explicitly stated. 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.

# Follow the Blue Path and '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|The Pink Kraken}} at {{Hex|4|16}} and {{POIIcon|The Western Lighthouse}} at {{Hex|1|18}}

#* The Port at {{Hex|2|19}} can be '''Discovered''' which can help reduce the travel costs later

# Follow the Green Path and '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|The Southern Lighthouse}} at {{Hex|12|18}}, {{POIIcon|The Watchful Ship}} at {{Hex|14|20}} and {{POIIcon|A Sadge Kraken}} at {{Hex|12|21}}

#* The Port at {{Hex|12|19}} can be '''Discovered''' which can help reduce the travel cost {GP} later

#* Along the path to Fisherman's Enclave, there is a Port that can be '''Discovered''' at {{Hex|21|20}}

#* At Level 70, you will unlock another [[#Ship_Upgrades|Ship Upgrade]] as well as the Obstacle, {{AgilityIcon|Ocean Drifting}}. It is recommended you get both of these if possible.

#** You will need Archaeology at Level 70 for Ocean Drifting. The next step passes by {{POIIcon|Secret Mines}} {{Hex|21|15}} and {{POIIcon|Quarry}} {{Hex|20|13}}. Along with Coral Wreckage, you can get all of the Rare and lower Artefacts (plus an extra if it's a useful item) at these dig sites. You could also go to {{POIIcon|Ancient Market}} {{Hex|0|14}} and {{POIIcon|Stoneworkers}} {{Hex|24|14}} for the {{ItemIcon|Aranite Trowel}} and {{ItemIcon|Aranite Shovel}} first which would increase {{Skill|Archaeology}} xp rates.

# Next up is the Orange Path. You will want to '''Discover''' both {{POIIcon|Old Mine}} at {{Hex|23|14}} and {{POIIcon|The Abandoned Vein Mine}} at {{Hex|22|15}}. These POIs need to be Discovered before Surveying the entire map

# Along the Gray Path, '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|Capital City Lighthouse}} at {{Hex|27|13}}, and {{POIIcon|The Pushy Sailor}} at {{Hex|29|9}}

#* The Port at {{Hex|27|14}} can be '''Discovered''' which can help reduce the travel cost later. It is recommended to discover this before heading to The Pushy Sailor

=== Revealing the full Map ===

''This step is optional and can be skipped if travel costs are not an issue''. Moving to {{POIIcon|The Edge of Darkness}} will cost up to {{GP|50000000}}, depending on discounts. 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 {{Hex|18|15}}.

# {{POIIcon|Seashade Village}} at {{Hex|7|20}} which is conveniently located above Coral Wreckage

# {{POIIcon|Rosedale}} at {{Hex|27|18}}. While this would take a bit longer, it's along the way to {{POIIcon|Bandit Hideout}} which is good if you plan to do some {{Skill|Thieving}}.

=== Mastering the Map ===

To reach level 120 you will want to explore areas with higher XP. Hex experience is based on the level of the hex, and the best XP can be found clumped near important POIs. The provided map can help visualize where the highest XP zones are.

# You will need to move to the second location which is the snowy area in the bottom middle, around {{Hex|17|25}}, since there are many high level hexes in this area

# The top middle is going to be the third location, around {{Hex|12|2}} so you can grab the level 80 and 90 hexes to the East and West

# The last location will be the center of the map, around {{Hex|16|11}}. For this step, either manual or auto surveying can be done. If you have more XP boosts than this guide was using, you may hit level 120 faster by manually surveying. If you choose to auto survey, ensure you auto survey a hex or two away from your location to ensure auto survey can be restarted at any point without having to move.
