Within the navigation map there are a number of different coloured areas which correspond to the different [[terrain]] types.
+
=General Information=
  
−
Terrains are usually distinguished by the color of the map square. In addition, each map square has a terrain label (and the terrain label also leads off the description of your current location). Within a general class of terrain, there may be several zones that have different labels. For example, characters first arriving in Shartak commonly encounter village squares, which are labeled with the name of the village (such as "Dalpok") instead of being labeled as "Jungle". Other distinct zones exist: for example, there are Caves and Tunnels in mountain terrain, and there are Beaches and Dunes in beach terrain.  
+
Within the navigation map there are a number of different tiles which correspond to the different terrain types.
  
−
Shartak also has a few special locations, such as Boatyards. These locations have the same terrain color and the same terrain label as normal terrain (such as Beach), and can only be discovered by carefully reading the location's unusual description text.  
+
Terrains can be distinguished by the graphic on the tile. In addition, each map square has a terrain label. This label can either be the name of the terrain (such as Jungle appearing on Jungle tiles), or a specific location (such as Dalpok appearing on the squares that are within the Dalpok town).  Some have different descriptions which can further differentiate Terrain types, such as boatyards contained on squares that are labeled beaches.
  
−
Terrain squares can also contain a single detail, illustrated by an icon. These terrain details include huts (in ruins and villages), bushes or trees (in jungle), ruins -- and player-constructed signposts. (See [[Locations#Details]] for more information.)
+
=Different Terrain Types=
 +
*'''Tile Description''' - The description on the square
 +
*'''Findable items''' - What items can be found on the square
 +
*'''Movement Cost''' - How much it costs to move on the square AP wise (the number in the parenthesis is the cost when a player has the skill Trekking (or Swimming with water tiles))
 +
*'''Special Squares''' - Unique types of certain terrain.
  
−
According to GPS calculations, each square of terrain is approximately 100 meters on a side.
+
If one of these are missing it means that the category doesn't apply for that type of Terrain.

There is sand here, but you cannot build a sand castle. [[Driftwood]] can be found here, and is used for making [[signpost]]s. There are also [[crab]]s here, but unlike [[parrot]]s and [[rat]]s, you cannot murder the crabs for XP.

This description of multiple squares of beach promises large quantities of driftwood. Search odds still require calculating, but appear to share the same profile as beach with a much higher overall success rate. It is rumored that there are many other boatyards around Shartak; please post their GPS coordinates here as you find them.
+
*'''Tile Description''' - This area has been decimated by wildfire
 +

The Jungle is the most common terrain on Shartak.  It can come in ten different densities, which affects player movement.
 +
*'''Findable items''' - One can find almost anything in the jungle, though higher density areas will yield more items.
 +
*'''Special Squares''' - The following breaks down the description and movement costs for each Jungle density.
 +
===Burning Jungle===

 +
*'''Movement Cost''' - You cannot move through this jungle, and need to chop it down first.
 +
===Mountain Path===
 +
The Mountain Path behaves similarly to the Jungle terrain, though one can find shargle eggs on the mountain path.  Also, bears and goats inhabit these tiles more than any other place on Shartak.
 +
*'''Tile Description''' - Same as Jungle terrain with the same density.
 +
*'''Findable items''' - Shargle Egg plus any other item that can be found in the jungle.
 +
*'''Movement Cost''' - Depends on density

*'''Findable Items''' - Fungi
  
−
===Dunes===
+
===Gold Ore===
−
:''The dunes here at the western tip of the island are fairly small. Dotted across the sand you can see patches of vegetation.''
+
*It is unknown whether or not there are important, but some tunnel squares show gold ore in the description.  Searching these squares finds nothing except for a broken knife.
−
Dunes can be found forming on the far western coast. It is uncertain at this point if this terrain is significantly different from the beach.
+
===Strange Fossils===
 +
*'''Tile Description''' - The earthen walls of the tunnel have disintegrated in place, revealing pockets of space filled with the fat, deep roots of ground vegetation. Amongst those roots are bone-white objects much too large to be human bones.
 +
*Searching these squares yields nothing except for broken knives, which are automatically discarded.

<div style="width:80px;height:80px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #000;background-color:#337033;font-family:Verdana;">Jungle <small>(d10)</small></div>
+
The following terrain is unique to the [[Sacred Space]] within Mt. Shartak. This is not currently an exhaustive list of the terrain types present there (and will be added to with more types and better information later).
  
−
Jungle is the dominant terrain type in Shartak. Jungle can be chopped by players with [[machete]]s or [[cutlass]]es, but it regrows slowly over time, even in squares with players or animals in them. Most [[animals]] on Shartak live in the jungle. Fruit trees and berry bushes are found in the jungle. Chopping the jungle also reveals abandoned huts and ancient ruins.
+
=Ground Terrain=
  
−
Jungle never grows past density 10, a point at which it is too thick to pass through easily. A character wielding a machete or cutlass can chop the jungle location down to density 9 (with about a 10% chance of earning 1 [[XP]]), while characters without such weapons must try to push through it with a chance of success of roughly 20%.

At density 8, the tree cover is thin enough for a [[GPS unit]] to receive a signal. At density 4, the trees in the area are cut down, removing any [[Writing|carved messages]]. At jungle density 0, all that remains is weeds; vegetation cannot be chopped any further at this point.

−
There is a mountain pass that starts at {{GPS|70|364|26|432}}. A second entrance to the same path is at {{GPS|70|382|26|479}}. And a third entrance to the same path is at {{GPS|70|329|26|431}}.
 
−
 
 
−
There are two types of mountain path found on the mountain. The first is passable, and allows for movement just as most other forms of terrain in the game. The second only allows for vertical movement ("Go Up" and "Go Down"). Either way returns you to a jungle square (going up puts you on a level jungle trail that winds around the mountain).

General Information

Within the navigation map there are a number of different tiles which correspond to the different terrain types.

Terrains can be distinguished by the graphic on the tile. In addition, each map square has a terrain label. This label can either be the name of the terrain (such as Jungle appearing on Jungle tiles), or a specific location (such as Dalpok appearing on the squares that are within the Dalpok town). Some have different descriptions which can further differentiate Terrain types, such as boatyards contained on squares that are labeled beaches.

Different Terrain Types

  • Tile Description - The description on the square
  • Findable items - What items can be found on the square
  • Movement Cost - How much it costs to move on the square AP wise (the number in the parenthesis is the cost when a player has the skill Trekking (or Swimming with water tiles))
  • Special Squares - Unique types of certain terrain.

If one of these are missing it means that the category doesn't apply for that type of Terrain.

Beach

  • Tile Description
  • Findable items - Driftwood, Crab, Beer
