GEOGRAPHY and CARTOGRAPHY allow you to to create maps (available only to
cartographers), add locations to maps, create special descriptions for those
locations, and accept maps created by others. Each map has a limited number
of locations it can hold, based on the map's quality and your "map skill".
(_Florrie notes that this means that even though you meet the minimum requirements to learn the skill, you may not be able to use all aspects of it._)
Map skill is based on your perception, spirit, and mind. Improving any of
these will improve your map skill.
Some maps are "immutable", meaning that you cannot add locations. Others are
ready and waiting for you to add locations. Maps always belong to a specific
era, and you cannot add an industrial location to an ancient map, for example.
CARTOGRAPHY allows you to create maps out of notes, and share your marked
locations with, or sell them to, geographers. Cartographers may also add more
locations to a map than geographers.
Using maps and trailing locations is available to all players and does not
require skills. See HELP MAP for more details.
The following are required to learn this skill based on the above qualifications:
This skill will not show up on ALLSKILLS until you learn GEOGRAPHY even if you have met the stats requirements.
