−
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.

This description of multiple squares of beach promises large quantities of driftwood.

 +
*'''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.

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. Pouring a [[Gourd of water|gourd]] or [[Bottle of water|bottle]] of fresh water on a jungle square speeds its growth up, while pouring salt water on it slows its growth down slightly. All other kinds of liquids have no apparent effect. 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.

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 7, 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.

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

Beach Tile.png

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

The Jungle is the most common terrain on Shartak. It can come in ten different densities, which affects player movement.

  • Special Squares - The following breaks down the description and movement costs for each Jungle density.

Burning Jungle

  • Movement Cost - 1AP (0.5AP)

Jungle Density 5

Jungle 5.png

  • Tile Description - There are several small trees here and some light undergrowth.
  • Movement Cost - 1AP (0.5AP)

Jungle Density 6

Jungle 6.png

  • Tile Description - A number of small trees here aren't that much taller than the heavy undergrowth.
  • Movement Cost - 1AP (0.5AP)

Jungle Density 7

Jungle 7.png

  • Tile Description - Dense jungle with a few tall trees and plenty of vines hanging from them.
  • Movement Cost - 2AP (1AP) (This can be further reduced with the Trailblazing skill to 0.5AP)

Jungle Density 8

Jungle 8.png

  • Tile Description - Quite dense jungle with some tall trees and lots of bushes and vines everywhere.
  • Movement Cost - 2AP (1AP) (This can be further reduced with the Trailblazing skill to 0.5AP)

J10.gif

  • 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

Swamp

Swamp.gif

  • Tile Description - Rather wet and muddy looking swamp. It's going to be tricky working your way through, but it looks passable with care.
  • Findable items - Blunt Machetes, Blunt Cutlasses, Yeastweed, Heavy Swords
  • Movement Cost - 3AP (2AP)

Tunnel

Tunnel.gif

  • Tile Description - A tunnel under the island.
  • Movement Cost - 1AP (0.5AP)

Fungi Farms

  • Tile Description - The hard, grey walls of the tunnel drip with moisture, seepage from the world above. Pale, phosphorescent fungi have taken root in the cracks and their mushroom heads reach out like the swollen fingers of a dead man.
  • Findable Items - Fungi

Gold Ore

  • 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.

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.

Water

There are several different Water Tiles on Shartak. Swimming reduces your AP cost of moving through all of these types.

Deep Water

  • Movement Cost - 2AP (1AP)

Impassable Terrain

  • Some Terrain is impassible by players. It forms boundaries and borders in Shartak.

Mountain

Mountain.gif

  • Some parts of the mountain are completely impassible.

Ocean

Water3.gif

  • You cannot move through the ocean. These form the boundary to the Shartak World.
