Is Cartography needed on a T-hunter?

[jmal01]

I'm currently training up a t-hunter and I would like to drop carto for resist.

What role does carto play? Could i just create a mule char and GM carto with him and decode T-maps and then give the decoded t-map to my bard/mage.

Or do you need to have carto to clk and dig up the chest?

The character that decoded the treasure map has to be the one that digs it up.

HOWEVER, you can make a character specifically for digging up, lockpicking, and then destroying the chest, and another to bard everything up and loot it! You also have the additional bonus of having 2 backpacks to carry all the loot!!
