#* Make sure to Discover {{POIIcon|Old Village}} at {{Hex|13|17}}

#* If you Survey {{POIIcon|The Southern Lighthouse}} at {{Hex|12|18}}, make sure you do not Discover this POI. The temporary <span class="text-positive">-2% Survey Interval</span> Discovery Reward will be used later

# Follow the Purple Path which will Discover {{POIIcon|The Jagged Labyrinth}} at {{Hex|5|7}} and unlock the ability to purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Cartographer's Enhancement}} for {{GP|3000000}}

#* Level 60 unlocks another [[#Ship_Upgrades|Ship Upgrade]]

# Follow the Orange Path towards {{POIIcon|The Pirate's Treasure Trails}} at {{Hex|10|6}} and Discover this hex. It is important this POI gets discovered before Surveying the entire map.

# 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 next POIs will be towards the South side of the map along the Purple Path. '''Survey''' {{POIIcon|The Sea Noodle}} at {{Hex|23|25}}. You will need to '''Discover''' {{POIIcon|Fisherman's Enclave}} at {{Hex|22|22}} before Surveying the entire map

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

#* 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

## {{POIIcon|Stoneworkers}} at {{Hex|24|14}} for {{ItemIcon|Aranite Shovel}}.

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.

When you are ready to get the interval POIs, Discover one of the first 2 POIs for <span class="text-positive">-5% Cartography travel costs</span>, THEN Discover {{POIIcon|The Shimmering Sands Outpost}} for <span class="text-positive">-10% Cartography travel costs</span>.

Start by manually Surveying {{Hex|28|9}} and {{Hex|27|8}} then afterwards, Auto Survey {{Hex|26|8}}. If you cannot survey {{Hex|26|8}} due to it being out of survey range, do not move. Survey whichever hex you can reach, ensuring that you auto survey the furthest one. The purpose of surveying this hex specifically is so Auto Survey reaches the higher level hexes near the top middle of the map. 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 Auto Survey at {{Hex|28|12}} so the Level 90 Hexes around {{Hex|30|16}} get Surveyed. Levels 85 and 99 unlock 2 more [[#Ship_Upgrades|Ship Upgrades]].

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.

With the map fully revealed you will unlock the ability to master all hexes, which allows you to survey every Hex up to level 5.

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.

Upon reaching {{SkillReq|Cartography|120}}, you will want to purchase and equip the {{ItemIcon|Superior Cartography Skillcape}} then Auto Survey until all 944 hexes have they are fully Mastered.

With the map mastered, you can now explore all of the POIs that you have unlocked. Good luck!
