Cartographer

Also called "Mapper" or "Mapmaker",  is one of the many subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
A map expert who can create, transcribe and duplicate maps. They also have the ability to decipher a map written in code.

Cartographer is something between a production subclass and a role-playing subclass. Its main ability is to display a detailed map of the traversed area like an extension of the minimap, but it can also copy it into a real map (as in an item). Moreover, monsters can occasionally drop "Treasure Maps" that the player can decipher in order to find the location of a treasure.

In the medieval world of Theldesia, maps are a vital part of People of the Earth’s society, mostly in situations such as politics, business or military operations. Therefore, Cartographers have an important role to play, even if they are often surrounded by nobles or aristocrats possessing specialized surveying skills. Their main purpose there is taxe calculations, which are calculated by measuring the area of fields.

Adventurers can gain this subclass by completing a class-changing quest or going through an Explorer subclass. The opposite is also possible: a player can change their subclass from Cartographer to Explorer.

There is a detailed article written about it in the Theldesia Gazette Vol. 2.
