also, why do all 4 map types in cartography say the same success chance?

They have always been the same success chance since the shard went live. Cartography maps were not difficulty based in T2A - it does not matter which map you make.


There's actually one piece of the puzzle missing for Carto that will make it slightly easier - vendors should restock blank maps when you sell pre-drawn (vendor bought city maps,etc), or player-drawn maps. (1 blank map for every non-blank map sold)


In order to GM cartography you'll need to purchase blank maps in bulk. The vendors sell them with the same rules as reagents - their stock doubles every hour as long as more than half their stock is purchased.


I realise this makes cartography a lot more difficult since you can not write on scrolls anymore, but cartography was never intended to be an easy skill to raise.
