Scouts are adept at getting the lay of the land wherever they travel in the universe. Using their tools and skills they can quickly survey their surroundings to find important landmarks and resources. This quick map is just a two-dimensional layout and does not include up, down, or other odd exits. In addition, this quick sketch is easily messed up when areas do not properly line up in a proper grid and may display odd results.

Scouts of level 3 and above are able to see which rooms can be foraged. Scouts of level 5 and above are able to see up to 2 rooms away. Scouts of level 12 and above are able to see up to 3 rooms away. Scouts of level 15 and above are able to see which rooms contain docks. Scouts of level 19 and above are able to see which rooms contain shops. Scouts of level 20 and above are able to see which rooms contain bartenders. Scouts of level 35 and above are able to see up to 4 rooms away.
