Erforschung
Players will be rewarded for exploring. New things will spawn as the areas in the world develop.[1]
Schatzsuche
Schatzsuche is not exactly "cartography", but it does involve maps that help to pinpoint the location of hidden treasures throughout the world.[3][4][5][6][7]
- Treasures (and treasure maps) will enable players to reap economic gains from exploration.[4]
- The more treasure a player finds the better maps they can create.[7]
- Hints are given through rumor mills, interaction with different NPCs, and gaining access to potential dig sites.[7]
- Treasure hunting will be a "way of life" rather than a profession.[6]
Treasures may also be obtained through fishing and by exploring naval content.[8][9]
