I bought from NPC then went straight to regional map, then at about 43ish I found full worlds getting better gains. (though if you are trying to come out the cheapest I'd stick with the regional maps until 60sih, it is a trade off for slower skill gain but making more usable maps)

And for that matter... at what Cart skill can you actually succeed at decoding a Level 5 map? Because it would make sense to me to lock it at that level, right?

The point is so that you can have a kick ass title! You can successfully decode at 99.5 cartography (run a razor macro to keep double-clicking the map; you'll fail alot, but eventually decode it.) I've heard you can go as low as 99.2 cart, but I haven't tested it. Just jump on the test server, set cartography 99.2 and see if you can decode the devious map in your bank. I did this to test lockpicking; completely mindblowing how at 99.9 you don't understand how to manipulate a lvl 5 lock, but GM and it quickly yields? wtf...

I just GM'd Cart. the other day. Due to serious cash problems I had to stick with regional (city) maps longer than I anticipated so that I would have more usable maps to sell. What I didn't expect was to GM from doing only city maps. I tried a few runs of sea charts but they paid less on resale than city so, I stuck with the money. I know it took a lot longer to finish it but, I was able to help finance my mage and inscriber. Just thought I'd pass this along

So does anyone care to write a sweet razor macro for cart? It's next on my list of characters to make, and there haven't been any guides written since difficulty based cart was removed. I've never done cart so I have nfi about the skill tbh.
Anyone care to explain what will give good gains and why? What would be a good razor macro to set up? How much does it cost, how long does it take and how many blank maps do you need?

Depending on how many you have, they could save you some time. ?: Level 1 (Not sure if you'd get worthwhile gains after starting at 30 or 50) 60: Level 2 70: Level 3 90: Level 4 I started at 53.5 and pre-bought my blanks. Took 12250 blank maps (98 full bags worth!) which cost 36750gp. Think I used a dozen or so tmaps as well. You will get somewhere between 10 and 20k back selling your finished maps (I trashbarreled half of mine).

I finished cart ages ago, i posted how in another thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18882&p=166046&hilit=cartography#p166046For the record, rammar, cart isn't difficulty based so it makes 0 difference which map you make from 0-GM. Someone should update the wiki already.

Someone should update the wiki already. I thought not, as I had fairly consistent gains regardless of which map I made when I checked in on it. I did most of it while I was sleeping though, so I wasn't completely sure. This doesn't apply to decoding tmaps though does it? A lvl1 will not give as much chance to gain as a lvl4 when at 90 skill.
