'''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.
Cartographer's Chisels are an uncommon item that can found starting at [[item level]] 50. [[Zana, Master Cartographer]] will also sell 20 Cartographer's Chisels in exchange for 16 [[Chaos Orb|Chaos Orbs]] once daily. Cartographer's Chisels may also be found in Artisan's Strongboxes.
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.
