== Description ==Analyse is an action granted by the [[prospecting]] skill. When used on recently mined [[rock stone shards|stone shard]], or even [[ore]]s, it allows you to determine if any ore veins are nearby the tile the shard was mined from, as well as their approximate distance and direction from that tile. The action is first unlocked at prospecting skill level 20, and requires a [[Account types|premium account]] to perform. To Analyse, right-click a rock shardsstone shard or ore, and select "Analyse."

*"{{event|inline|You are unable to work out how to analyse the shard." }} - You are below prospecting skill level 20.*"{{event|inline|It looks like someone has tampered with the rock stone shards and therefore you decide not to analyse it." }} - The shard has already been analysed and cannot be analysed again.. Also appears if part of the shards have been used to make something or used in improving. *"{{event|inline|The rock stone shards looks too old for a decent analysis and therefore you decide not to analyse it." }} - Appears if you try to analyse a shard from a [[bulk storage bin]].

*'''"Vague traces"''' - Shows for ore that is 5 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 7068. (I saw this at 69.8+)*'''"Indistinct traces"''' - Shows for ore that is 6 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 85(?). (Needs confirmation)

The distance away from the analysed rock stone shard/tile is referring to a square around the tile analysed, as shown in this picture:

*"Faint traces" quality, unlocked at level 50 (Needs confirmation)

Lots of different sized rock stone shards.

This says that there's a [[silver ore]] vein right to the northeast from the tile from which the analysed rockshard stone shard was mined. The distance one is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the analysed one. Each increment of distance beyond this is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the previous one. In this example the second square, of distance two, holds the [[iron ore]].

Below is a table showing the required prospecting Prospecting skill needed to view ore type and quality by distance. This is the same information as provided above, just inserted into a table for quick reference. Numbers of ore : (fields with question marks("?) " are unconfirmed, "unknown" means you will see something like ''You notice a slight trace of something, but cannot quite make it out''.)
