Cartographer

Cartographers are masters of patching damaged maps. Their rare skill takes a long time to learn and is often passed down from generation to generation. Although the hopes of finding routes to new hunting locations is exciting, the tedious nature of restoring maps makes hiring a cartographer rather expensive.

Hiring a Cartographer

Every hunter relies on a magical map to navigate the ever-changing terrain of the world and travel to different hunting areas.

During your travels you may be lucky enough to discover new map pieces that will reveal new routes and hunting locations. Some of these magical map pieces hold more secrets than meets the eye. Certain cartographers are able to restore damaged map pieces or embellish details to unlock magical realms of discovery and adventure.

At present, the only Cartographer is open in the Bazaar and can repair the Shredded Furoma Map Piece as well as the Tattered Mousoleum Map, resulting in the Furoma Map Stitch and the Mousoleum Restoration Patch, respectively.

Travelling

While the cartographer is repairing your map, you cannot travel to that location if it is your only copy of that map. For example, while the cartographer is repairing your Shredded Furoma Map Piece, you cannot travel back to Furoma until you get it back. However, you can obtain yet another map while your current map is being repaired if you happen to catch a mouse that drops one. You will then be able to access the area.

Repair Progress

You can check how far a repair you have ordered has progressed by revisiting the Cartographer page in any location. You will only need to travel back to the appropriate Cartographer to collect your map once the repair is complete.

Maps that can be repaired

The repaired maps are as follows:

• Shredded Furoma Map Piece

Cost to Restore: 90,000 gold

Time to Restore: 1 day (apx.)

Hunters often find pieces of the Furoma map slightly shredded by the claws of mice. A skilled cartographer is able to restore this shredded map by stitching a patch over the damaged area to reveal additional detail.

• Tattered Mousoleum Map

Cost to Restore: 160,000 gold

Time to Restore: 5 days (apx.)

Researching artifacts uncovered while digging new graves in the Mousoleum suggest that mystery lies below the graveyard. Based on both research and very faded ink on the ancient cloth a cartographer is able to embellish details for a closer look. Restoring an artifact as delicate as the ancient cloth requires a great deal of time and skill and does not come cheap.

The Cartographer suspects that a hunter will need the title of Legendary to understand the secrets revealed.
