The Cartography skill allows players to create various types of maps, decipher research and treasure maps, and enhance exploration abilities. Using a Map Maker’s Pen and a Blank Map, players can craft Local, City, Regional, and World Maps. The skill is also essential for decoding Treasure and Resource Maps using a Spyglass, improving their accuracy based on the player's skill level and tool bonuses.

Mechanics

Deciphering Maps

Using a Spyglass on a Treasure or Resource Map opens the decoding interface.
This allows players to decode and enhance a map's accuracy, up to a limit based on the player's skill and tool bonus.

Explorer Pack

Players can craft Explorer Packs using Cartography under the Utility Items category.
Explorer Packs do not provide skill gain.

Exploration Action

Players can double-click an Explorer Pack in their backpack to begin an Exploration Action.
Remaining stationary for 5 seconds activates an Exploration Effect.
The Exploration Effect lasts 60 minutes and persists through death.
Players will see a "You now feel familiar with the area" message upon successful activation.

Exploration Effect

Players do not need to stay near their Exploration Action location to maintain bonuses from Exploration Effects. They are free to move.
