Archaeology is a skill used in retrieving artifacts. It has one subskill of ''Restoration''[[restoration]]. These skills are used for locating, identifying , and combining of fragments of different items from resources to weapons and more.

==Usage==The '''Archaeology''' archaeology skill level helps determine what item or fragment you get when investigating tiles. It will also determine what and how much information you get on settlements that used to exist on or near the location investigated.

To investigate a The type of fragment you retrieve is determined based on:* How many settlements have been on that tile, activate a [[trowel]], right-click a tile and click ''Investigate''in the past. This will search * How long the tile for fragmentssettlement(s) stood there.*At 20+ Archaeology skill, a [[shovel]] may be used instead of a trowel, increasing How long it has been since the difficulty of the actionsettlement disbanded.* Skill level.

When finding a fragment, you there may get be a message in the event tab stating information on past settlement locations. The higher your skill level in Archaeology, the more information you may receive. You also need an [[archaeology journal]] and 30+ Ql paper to record records of the deed to get the cache. Data will automatically record to reports/pages as it is found via the archaeological investigation process. Multiple copies of the same report do not combine to give more data. Keep reports(s) of the same name in your journal.*[20:35:02] You can see multiple markers of abandoned settlements here. Based on your knowledge of the area and small hints you can find, one of the settlements must have been called Brokenridge. You find some extra clues that help narrow down where Brokenridge once was and write it down in the report.*DO NOT remove a deed report from your journal until it is finished, as this will fill your inventory with minimal information reports and waste paper. Right click reports to check progress after successful checks, until 'Get Direction' option appears. ===Investigation===To investigate a tile, activate a [[trowel]], right-click a tile and click ''Investigate''. This will search the tile for fragments.

*At 50 Archaeology you get 20+ skill, a message that includes [[shovel]] may be used instead of a trowel, increasing the name difficulty and timer length of the former mayor of a deed action. Some fragments are instantly identified upon discovery at that locationthis level with no further restoration work needed.

==Restoration==*At 30+ skill level, there is a chance to see the name of one of the settlements at that location:The ''You can see multiple markers of abandoned settlements here. Based on your knowledge of the area and small hints you can find, one of the settlements must have been called Sunnyvale.'Restoration''' subskill is used to identify and combine [[Unidentified_fragment|fragments]].

==Identify==Identifying a fragment will tell you what it *At 50+ skill level, there is a fragment chance to see the name of as well as how many more pieces are needed to assemble it into the full item. For example, an identified fragment may saysettlement's founder: ''ore fragment [1/3]You can see multiple markers of abandoned settlements here. Based on your knowledge of the area and small hints you can find, iron'' - one of the settlements must have been called Mordor. You recall this tells you it is a piece of iron oresettlement, and you need 2 more fragments to combine to itremember the name of the founder as Gromclad.''

To identify a fragment*At 70+ skill level, you will need there is a [[metal brush]] chance to see names of deeds in the area some tiles away and/or the time since abandonment of a [[stone chisel]]deed:''You spot some markers of an old settlement in the area. Activate It looks like it may be close to the tool, right click northeast from here. You find a small scrap of something that has the unidentified fragment and select "Identify"deed name on it... 'Kittenforest Paradise'. ''

Examining *At 80+ skill level, there is a fragment will tell you if you need chance to see the length of the period that a brush or a chisel to clear away dirt deed was occupied:''You can see multiple markers of abandoned settlements here. Based on your knowledge of the area and rock from it - howeversmall hints you can find, you may use either tool. The difficulty one of the action will increase by using settlements must have been called Grindavik. You make a rough estimate that the opposite tool than that which is suggestedsettlement was inhabited for about 8 years, 2 months.''

The weight of the fragment will decrease with each successful identify action* In areas that are considered valuable, as dirt and rock finding fragments is cleared away, until it reaches the weight of the actual fragment. The fragment weight is the weight of the completed item divided by the number of pieces needed. For example, a bronze lump weighs 0.1 kg - an identified fragment requiring 3 total fragments will weigh 0.033 kgbit easier at higher levels.

*The key binds INVESTIGATE and IDENTIFY can be bound through console or settingsRarity of a fragment will always transfer over to the finished item becoming rare, despite the order by which the fragments are combined.*Can use either stone chisel or metal brush to identify. The difficulty When investigating only tiles that were part of a deed when the action will increase deed disbanded, count as part of that specific deed*Multiple copies of a deed report can be completed by using investigating again, with the opposite tool than that which is suggestedcache being located at the same location as the first.  ==Skills & Characteristics==* Archaeology* [[Mind]] > [[Mind logic]]* [[Body]] > [[Body control]]===Subskill===* [[Restoration]]
