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.

Mechanics

Quality Increase by Rarity

Item Rarity	% Increase
Normal	5
Magic	2
Rare	1
Unique	1

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.
