For treasure hunting, bare minimums?

Do you need all of RT, LP and Cartography? Also you can still weigh the ancient guardians out? Have not done this for a while. Tyvm.

If you do not have gm LP and Cart, you are limited to the type of maps you can decode/dig up and then open. RT does not matter as much but the higher the RT, the less of the ancient guardians you deal with and it is a lot quicker to remove.

Back before the RT came out we had to have mining as well, I was happy that Cart replaced that but I hate the RT skill, wish we going back to the spell remove trap to work on T chest like dungeon traps chests. I have a tamer T hunter on Sonoma, loads of fun with her.

So Carto is needed on the T-hunter themselves even though map is decoded? Aslo chest/loot quality depends on Carto also?

the higher your Cart the quicker you will be digging up that chest. Cartography – Ultima Online

Introduced in publish 105, cartography can also increase the dig radius from the treasure spot on treasure maps as follows:

• 0 to 50.9 skill gives a 1 tile radius (in other words, you must dig the exact correct spot of the chest)
• 51 to 80.9 skill gives a 2 tiles radius
• 81 to 99.9 skill gives a 3 tiles radius
• 100 skill gives a 4 tiles radius

Additionally having higher Carto gives better chance at "better" quality chest (ie gold or metal vs rusty). Having +5 carto glasses gives a small bump to this (I'm not really sure how much though).
