# '''Create paper:''' Convert any type of [[:Category:Logs|Logs]] into {{ItemIcon|Paper}}. Higher tier logs will produce more paper. Turning logs into paper has a base interval of {{Time|5}}, which can be reduced by bonuses that affect non-combat skill intervals and can also be affected by chance to double items or chance to preserve resources. You can also earn paper by completing tasks and discovering certain sites in {{Skill|Cartography}}. | # '''Create paper:''' Convert any type of [[:Category:Logs|Logs]] into {{ItemIcon|Paper}}.

# ''' | # '''Create/upgrade maps:''' Select a {{Icon|dig site|nolink=true}} and create a map in one of the map slots for that dig site. If they already have a map for the selected slot, map creation actions will instead make progress on upgrading the map towards the next tier. All new maps, except the first map you receive, will be created at the Poor tier. Creating and upgrading maps costs paper and has a base interval of {{Time|5}}. The upgrade interval can be reduced through bonuses, and in addition you can increase the chance of preserving resources. Regardless of tier, every map for a {{Icon|dig site|nolink=true}} will always discover the same items, but with differing chances of success. Upgrading maps is optional, but recommended as it will greatly reduce time taken excavating sites for rare items. You will only gain the benefit of upgrading once the map has changed to the next tier, and once you have reached the final tier other maps in this site will also be upgraded unless you stop the action manually. | ||
# '''Refine maps:''' Select a map and select one or more refinements. At each refinement, you are given a choice of refinement will permanently upgrade that map. Each refinement happens instantly, but the {{GP}} costs increase exponentially with each refinement. Refinements will be lost once the map has been exhausted through {{Skill|Archaeology}} actions.
