Chart decay rates
I'm pretty sure that storing charts on a ship makes them decay like a labour badge, while holding them on your pirate lets them decay like a rank badge. Also, I'm sure interarch charts last longer than standard ones, and storing on a ship makes them last longer than being logged in every day. Confirmation? --Piplicus 23:14 29th August 2005 (PDT)
 * So was I, until Wlada told me about his test (he bought two new maps&mdash;left one on his person and one on a ship; they both decayed after exactly one month). The issue I still need to test is whether not using a ship for a month affects the decay rate, but after a month I'll have to check the ship every day (so that could be tough to accurately test).  Maybe chart decay used to be different, or maybe it was all a conspiracy theory to get new players to share their maps. =)  04:41, 30 August 2005 (PDT)

Bumping this point, but - are we certain that charts decay after 30 days, and that interarch charts do not last longer? --Piplicus 09:12, 27 November 2005 (PST)

Redirects
There should be redirects to here from "map", "maps" and "charts".


 * Excellent suggestion. I've added them all.  --Barrister 11:39, 7 October 2005 (PDT)

Atlantis and Cursed Isles charts
Should we add a different heading regarding charts that lead to Atlantean Outposts? --Cecidrake 11:16, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
 * Yes, please do. Make sure to mention the whole no memming thing for them too :)  --Guppymomma 14:52, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
 * Since the charts are not available yet to get through pillage and stuff I'm gonna hold the edit for a bit. I have a version of how the article would look like in my sandbox. I will work a bit more on it and add a few more historical notes so as to reflect the availability issue. --Cecidrake 20:37, 5 September 2007 (PDT)

Could we also add pictures of all the different map and chart types? --Rubbaduck 05:26, 14 November 2009 (PDT)
 * What different map and chart types? You mean the special Atlantis and CI charts? --Belthazar451 13:43, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Updated images should be added to accurately depict the new charts for Atlantis and CI, as was mentioned above. I would put forth the effort if I had the knowledge to accomplish it, but alas, I do not. --Entharion 01:57, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Updated images have been on the Atlantis and Cursed Isles articles for a while. I simply inserted one of those into the article. I could make an image with one Atlantis chart and one CI chart if people think it'd look better. --Belthazar451 05:28, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Will Atlantis and Cursed Isles charts hold their age if wrapped as presents? If so, it would be worth mentioning. --Raggedandy


 * Doubtful that wrapping them would stop aging. If it did, I'd consider it a bug, because the locations themselves dust. If you could somehow preserve one of those charts, the destination would probably be gone if you used it far enough past its original expiration date. --Thunderbird 07:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Just tested this, right now...When I tried to wrap a Haunted Seas map, the game responded with "That item may not be wrapped"...I realize this is much later (two years) from the above, but I figured if it was worth asking, it's still worth answering (however much later)... ;-)

Color of Icon (for HS Map)
Just noticed this today -- the color of the skull's icon on a Haunted Seas map corresponds to the archipelago in which that map's adventure takes place! :-)    Do not know if the color of the Vargas-glyph on a Cursed Isles map does the same.  -- Franklincain (t/c) 12:15, 11 July 2012 (PDT)
