==== All POIs with the temporary survey bonus ====
===Optional: Preparing for ship upgrades===
The {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Keel Upgrade}} at {{SkillReq|Cartography|85}} and {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Crow's Nest Upgrade}} at {{SkillReq|Cartography|99}} can save ~17.25 hours each during the mastering the map phase and an upper bound of ~5 hours each on the discovering the map phase, though more likely about 2-3 hours each in practice. If you're confident that you can get both upgrades in less than 35 hours the following steps can be considered. This path is not recommended in Ancient Relics mode as you will exceed 95% interval reduction once the {{ItemIcon|Superior Cartography Skillcape}} can be purchased.
# The {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}} at {{Hex|2|2}} should be '''Discovered''' to unlock {{ItemIcon|Cursed Logs}}. 
#*This requires {{SkillReq|Cartography|80}} so going to a high XP area to level up may be required. Refer to the diagram in the '''Mastering the Map''' section to identify high XP areas.
#*There are two routes to obtaining the cursed logs required:
#*#Combat: By completing the Township Task for defeating 100 {{Icon|Soul Taker Witch|type=monster}} you will be rewarded with  {{ItemIcon|Cursed Logs|qty=25000}}.
#*#*The following will be required to unlock {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}}:
#*#*#Obtain {{ItemIcon|Ancient Stone Tablet}} from {{Icon|Monuments|type=poi}} [[Dig Site]] and complete {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}}.
#*#*#'''Discover''' {{POIIcon|Glacia City Ruins}} at {{Hex|17|25}} and obtain {{ItemIcon|Old Route Chart}}. Afterward complete {{ZoneIcon|Unholy Forest}}.
#*#*#Obtain {{ItemIcon|Torn Scrolls}} from {{POIIcon|Lost Temple}} and complete {{ZoneIcon|Trickery Temple}}.
#*#*#Obtain {{ItemIcon|Lost Cursed Text}} from {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}}.
#*#Woodcutting: This can be done immediately upon unlocking {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}}.
#*#*'''Discovering''' {{POIIcon|The Ancient Wreckage}} located at {{Hex|7|7}} rewards {{ItemIcon|Cursed Logs|qty=1000}}.
#*#* The time it takes to cut the remaining {{ItemIcon|Cursed Logs|qty=11000}} can vary from 25.4h if done with only Rune Axe and Stepping Stones (agility obstacle 3) to 9.5 hours if Dragon Axe, Master of Nature, and {{ItemIcon|Woodcutting Skillcape}} are used.
#The {{POIIcon|Lost Temple}} at {{Hex|23|8}} should be '''Discovered''' to unlock {{ItemIcon|Crystalized Dragon Fragment}} which is required to create the {{ItemIcon|Refined Pure Crystal}} for the {{UpgradeIcon|Ship Keel Upgrade}} at {{SkillReq|Cartography|85}}. Unlocking {{POIIcon|Lost Temple}} will require the {{ItemIcon|Old Temple Chart}} from {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}}.
#To reach {{SkillReq|Archaeology|90}} required for {{POIIcon|Lost Temple}} it is recommended to unlock a few extra dig sites:
##{{POIIcon|Ancient Market}} at {{Hex|14|0}} for {{ItemIcon|Aranite Trowel}}.
## {{POIIcon|Stoneworkers}} at {{Hex|24|14}} for {{ItemIcon|Aranite Shovel}}.
##{{POIIcon|Secret Mines}} at {{Hex|21|15}} for {{ItemIcon|Shipment Chart}} to unlock {{POIIcon|Ancient Forge}}.
##{{POIIcon|Ancient Forge}} at {{Hex|20|12}}. Once these are unlocked it is recommended to donate 100 artifacts to the museum, dig at {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}} for {{ItemIcon|Old Temple Chart}}, and dig at {{POIIcon|Ancient Forge}} for ancient tool upgrades until {{SkillReq|Archaeology|90}}.

For this step, it's ideal that auto survey is not stopped at any point. If this does occur, restart auto surveying around the same location as the original hex. After discovering the interval POIs, refrain from moving unless the guide mentions to move.

''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.

After moving to The Edge of Darkness, Auto Survey until the remainder of the map is fully surveyed. Start Auto Surveying a few hexes away from your current position. This will allow you to restart auto surveying in the event you stop surveying. You should not need to move from {{Hex|31|0}} until the map is fully surveyed.

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.

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.
