A '''Cartographer's Chisel''' is a [[currency]] item that is used to improve the [[quality]] of a [[map]]. The amount of quality given depends on the [[rarity]] of the map.
'''Cartographer's Chisel''' is a [[currency item]] that is used to improve the [[quality]] of a [[map]]. The amount of quality added depends on the [[rarity]] of the map.
It is advisable to only spend Cartographer's Chisels on higher level maps, as the more item quantity on a low level map translates to negligible gains. Furthermore, since Chisels are relatively uncommon, it is usually recommended to only spend them on normal maps rather than magic or rare maps. Also, once a map is 20% it stays 20% even when scoured or changed in any other way.
A '''Cartographer's Chisel''' can also be obtained by using the following [[vendor recipe]]:

[[Kirac]] can also sell 20 Cartographer's Chisels in exchange for 8 {{il|Chaos Orb}} in his vendor shop.
