Also many other players who do not have treasure hunter skills may have maps for sale, so ask around. There are a bunch of different monsters in the world that carry around treasure maps. In order to decode a treasure map, first you have to find one. The following chart shows the minimum skill you need in order to decode the treasure maps and unlock the chest: Level And, you also then get to go dig up treasure chest! Each time you decode a treasure map level 2 through 4 there is a chance you will gain skill. After a while you are upgraded from making maps to reading them. SkillĪs the chart shows, just drawing maps will not take you that far when it comes to Cartography. Don’t throw them out after you make them because you can sell them back to the NPC shipwright for gold. There are four kinds of maps you can draw: Local, City, Sea Chart, and World Map. I recommend using blank scrolls because they are much cheaper, and since they will stack in your bag you can carry more of them at one time. Next is buying a lot of blank scrolls in any mage shop or blank maps from the shipwright who is usually where a lot of the NPC mapmakers hang out.

The first step in Cartography training is buying a mapmaker’s pen from a NPC mapmaker (or another player with a high tinkering skill can make one for you). Pretty much the way you raise this skill is just by drawing maps over and over again. Like most skills, it gains up fast and steady in the beginning but it crawls down to near halt when you get high up there. It isn’t a very fun skill to train in but the ends do justify the means. The skill allows you to decode treasure maps found on monsters, and then use them to dig up the treasure.

Cartography is the skill you must know if you want to be a treasure hunter.
