Camps

Main article: Camp

Camps are locations on Shartak that serve as starting and respawning points. They feature specific resource huts for medical supplies, ammunition, and trading.

Terrains

Main article: Terrain

The terrain of Shartak is diverse, consisting of types such as jungle, grassland, swamp, and beaches. Each type of terrain affects movement and searches differently.

Natural landmarks

The terrain of Shartak also contains several unique natural landmarks, such as the huge central mountain. The mountain contains many special areas, including a waterfall, a mountain ledge, and a network of caves and tunnels.

Details

A detail appears as a separate icon over the underlying terrain color. There can only be one detail in any location. For example, if there is a tree or bush or ruins or hut in your current location, then you cannot construct a signpost. Heavy jungle conceals details. If you chop down enough jungle to reveal a fruit tree, bush, hut, or other detail, you receive an XP reward.

Fruit trees and bushes

All fruit trees and bushes use the same icon and thus look the same from a distance. A search at a location with a fruit tree or bush is an attempt to search specifically for fruits or berries, not an attempt to search the surrounding jungle for other items. Either you find a ripe fruit or berry or you do not, but you cannot find a non-fruit where a fruit tree or bush stands.

It is unknown whether different fruit trees and bushes have different find rates. It is unknown whether the density of the jungle affects the find rate (some believe that clearing the jungle slightly increases the find rate). Please submit data to Search Odds Condensed.

Search cost: 1 AP
- Approx find rates (55%): fruit/berry (55%)

Berry bushes

Outsiders see "a bush covered in berries." For natives (or outsiders with Native Knowledge), the bush is revealed as either a tasty berry bush where each berry heals 2 HP or a poisonous berry bush ("a thorny bush covered in berries") where each berry inflicts 2 HP damage. This information can also be gleaned by eating a berry. Searching provides a ready source of berries.

Known locations of poisonous bushes: [-70.479,+26.453], [-70.481,+26.452], [-70.501,+26.502], [-70.362,+26.387], [-70.435,+26.409], [-70.408,+26.453], [-70.394,+26.443], [-70.394,+26.444], [-70.368,+26.371]

Mango tree

Searching provides mangos, predictably.

Known locations: [-70.380,+26.369], [-70.189,+26.429], [-70.094,+26.376], [-70.450,+26.408], [-70.384,+26.437], [-70.383,+26.439], [-70.368,+26.385]

Banana tree

A banana tree is a reliable source of bananas.

Known locations: [-70.421,+26.408], [-70.500,+26.469] [-70.087,+26.377], [-70.318,+26.452]

Unknown trees

These are fruit trees and bushes with known locations but unknown fruit.

Known locations: [-70.401,+26.502], [-70.435,+26.486], [-70.316,+26.504], [-70.119,+26.378], [-70.654,+26.361], [-70.666,+26.373], [-70.667,+26.372], [-70.094,+26.376], [-70.082,+26.393], [-70.083,+26.390], [-70.111,+26.407], [-70.123,+26.389], [-70.129,+26.392], [-70.362,+26.384], [-70.371,+26.386], [-70.371,+26.398], [-70.375,+26.400], [-70.371,+26.410], [-70.223,+26.413], [-70.222,+26.402], [-70.213,+26.407], [-70.211,+26.405], [-70.212,+26.400], [-70.232,+26.385], [-70.233,+26.383], [-70.223,+26.386], [-70.221,+26.386]

Huts

Main article: Hut

Huts are buildings that players can enter and leave. Certain huts provide specific items.

Ruins

There are several ruins scattered throughout Shartak. These locations initially appeared derelict and unimpressive, but it is rumored that recent investigations have revealed a bit more detail than before.

Known locations: [-70.391,+26.480], [-70.111,+26.378], [-70.666,+26.354], [-70.357,+26.406], [-70.331,+26.380], [-70.605,+26.374]

River ruins

A single location on the west bank of the river that runs south from the mountain, north-northeast of York. This ruin contains two huts.

Temple ruins

At [-70.540,+26.530], 16 paces south and 1 pace east of the shipwreck, are the ruins of a temple which is populated by monkeys, stalked by elephants, and haunted by spirits.

Jail ruins

Several ruined buildings northwest of Durham.
