#* If you have the GP to do so, refining the Coral Wreckage map to reduce the Medium Artefact Value will help get the Spyglass faster

#* Upgrading the map is worth doing. It will take {{Time|8340}} with a 4.35s action time (not including paper making time) plus another {{Time|5820}} to get the Spyglass, assuming an Artefact value of 1. Without upgrading the map, it is expected to take {{Time|12960}}. While it might be ''slightly'' faster to not upgrade the map, if you run out of excavation actions and need to make a new map, it'll greatly increase the time it takes to get the Spyglass. It will also allow you to double your spyglass drop (by refining the map all the way) which can be donated to the museum.
#* Upgrading the map is recommended. It will take {{Time|8340}} with a 4.35s action time (not including paper making time) plus between {{Time|4680}} (with an Artefact Value of 1) or {{Time|6000}} (with an Artefact Value of 10) to get the Spyglass, for a total time of {{Time|13020}} to {{Time|14340}}. Without upgrading the map, it is expected to take {{Time|7920}}.
#** While it might be faster to not upgrade the map, if you run out of excavation actions and need to make a new map (a ~1.1% chance of happening), it will take to {{Time|16680}} upgrade a new Excellent Map (plus {{Time|2940}} to make the paper using Magic Logs, plus the extra time it takes to get the Spyglass) or {{Time|14700}} to get the Spyglass using a Poor map. It will also allow you to double your spyglass drop (by refining the map all the way) which can be donated to [[Archaeology#The_Museum|the museum]].
#** If you need to make {{ItemIcon|Paper}}, it is recommended to do the first {{Icon|Township/Tasks%23Atlas_of_Discovery|Atlas of Discovery Task|img=Township (skill)}} for 2,000 extra paper. Making paper should be done using {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs}} from {{Skill|Farming}} since Farming is passive. Making the 5,760 paper (with a 2.6s interval) needed to upgrade the map from Excellent to Perfect will take {{Time|1920}}.
#* After obtaining the Old Spyglass, you will want to Discover {{POIIcon|The Vibrant Coral Gardens}} at {{Hex|6|22}} which rewards the {{ItemIcon|Coral|qty=500}} needed for {{AgilityIcon|Ocean Drifting}}, which will be built later
