Cartography Skill Table
Posted: June 4th, 2008, 7:38 am
I had nothing to do, so I recreated a new character, and tested out the Cartography skill, using the Cartography trainer in Arridell as a way to locate in memory the place where Cartography skill was saved... I did a little trainer and came up with those observation, and though they might be useful to the community.
Level -- Description of what I noticed (the "???" are the place where I didn't see anything noticable)
__01 -- Border (brown) appear on map. They include walls, tree lines, unwalkable path...
__02 -- The tree are now green.
__03 -- All that is "walkable" get light-green, including dirt road, paved road, inside of building.
__04 -- Nothing noticable, or do I now see farther, draw faster?
__05 -- Paved road are now grey, the water is now blue and there are details (dark brown) on map, such as trunks, road signs, etc...
__06 -- ???
__07 -- Road/dirt path are now in a pale brown color. (NOTE : Getting to this point is easy and does not cost a single Skill point, more on that later, see ***).
__08 -- ???
__09 -- Doorways are now in bright green.
__10 -- ???
__11 -- ???
__12 -- Chest/Dresser are in gold yellow.
__13 -- ???
__14 -- ??? Somewhere around here lever appears in blue, and misc. container in red.
__15 -- ???
__16 -- Red (dark red) dots appears for the NPC and monster
__17 -- ???
I kinda stopped at that point, thinking that nothing could be added to the map. I tested at 30, nothing else was added, so I think 17 is the "last" level.
*** As for the "free" level 7 in cartography, you must do the "drunk man quest" in Aridell, by getting back his sextant. Then, you can pay to learn up to level 5 (100 gold per level upgrade, so 200 for level 2, 300 for level 3 and so on). That is costly, yup! After having level 5, you can read the book "Mapping your World" to give you 2 more level. That book might be though to find though.
So, if I did any mistake (and I must have, I'm not perfect!!), you might wanna add some info on this thread.
