Cartography is used to create maps of your immediate surroundings, up to and including the entire world. It is an essential skill for those who wish to go treasure hunting. You require a Mapmaker's Pen in order to craft maps of your own.
You may only draw maps in the facets of Trammel and Felucca. Trying to draw maps elsewhere results in an indecipherable Map. NPC Mapmaker Vendors will sell you standard maps to draw on, but you can also overwrite the pre-drawn copies they sell.
Note that while Cartography is required to initially decode Treasure Maps (done by double clicking them, this removes the term "tattered" from their title), once this is done any character can read them.
Training
Take roughly 3000 gold to a Mapmaker in Felucca (where prices are cheaper). Buy blank maps and pens, and sell your completed work as you go. With luck you won't have to return to the bank for more funds.
- 0 - ~30 - Buy from NPC Mapmaker.
- 30 - 50 - Local Maps.
- 50 - 65 - City Maps.
- 65 - 99.5 - World Maps.
- 99.5 - 100 - Level 4 Treasure Maps (best to GGS each point).
For a power gaming technique to train this skill see Satyr Trick
