I am training up a Cartographer, currently 75.0 skill and doing World Maps still gives me gains but it only is "EASY" when using the Crystal Ball of Knowledge....

Is there any other thing that I can make which would give me "OPTIMAL" crafting message when using the Crystal Ball of Knowledge ?

Other then the Map of Eodon, though, which is expensive to make in Resources, I do not see anything else much that I could possibly craft...

So, how can I get from 75.0 to 100.0 optimizing my skill gains ?

Thanks !

There isn't anything else. World maps take you to 99.5 and the last .5 is done with actual treasure maps. I am guessing cache and higher for gains on treasure maps.

Another option is the "Satyr trick".

You take a bunch of supplies to the weald (suggest 5 pack horses plus your pack with 120-124 items), place your pack animals where stuff won't attack them (or unload them, if not bonded and you don't care), then go find a Satyr.
You then get the Satyr to disco you, invis (or have someone invis you), then immediately break the invis as soon as the Satyr loses targeting.
Done right, your skills will drop 10-20 points (which is why having someone else invis might work better), and if you break invis in the first couple ticks (half second or so), you'll stayed discoed as long as you stay where the Satyr can see you. Once you are discoed, then you can train a number of skills (Cartography, Lockpicking on a tinker-made box, etc.)

They unnerfed the satyrs so you can leave and go back in again and still be discoed.
