Description
A journal with which to track archaeological findings and information.
Creation
- Create a Book using a string and piece of paper. Add 3 leather strips to the completed book to make an Archaeology Journal (this step uses the leatherworking skill). The initial book's quality does not ultimately matter as the completed journal can be improved.
- You must add pages of at least 30 ql to the journal before you begin investigating to have a report written. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you fill the journal with all of its 22 pages before starting to use it.
- To add report pages to the journal, activate a paper or papyrus sheet and right-click on the journal –> Add Report. 22 pages/reports will fit inside.
Notes
- Data will automatically record to reports/pages as it is found via the archaeological investigation process. This is only if the journal is in the inventory, not inside of a backpack or other container in the inventory.
- Once a report includes sufficient information, it can then be used at any time to locate the deed studied therein. With sufficient information in a report, the option to "Get Direction" may also appear on that report from the right-click menu. Selecting this will tell the player some approximate directional information for that antiquated deed's location, relative to the player's location: [01:47:47] Reading details from the report, Hidden Valley Ranch looks like it may have been quite distant to the north.
- As of the October 4, 2018 patch, the "Get Direction" option will also show the player exactly where the center tile of that deed once stood. A player can then stand on that tile, once located, and utilize the same "Get Direction" command to then unearth a special cache from that prior deed. Simply follow the directions given while trying "Get Direction" on different tiles. Once located, this cache will hold a variety of unidentified archaeology fragments with a higher chance at statue fragments in addition to a special relic attributed to that old deed. Once this cache is unearthed, the report used to find it will be consumed. The amount of fragments a player may find at this juncture is determined by their archaeology skill and the utilized report's quality with a minimum of 10.
[18:44:30] You spot something glinting in the ground and start pulling it free... [18:44:44] As you discover a Rocky Coast hidden cache the report is crumpled up and ruined. [18:45:02] A small chest that rattles with the sound of some item fragments inside. It is made from birchwood. Ql: 37.456696, Dam: 0.0.
- You do not need a pen, ink, or dye for any part of the use or making of an archaeology journal.
- The more you investigate old deeds, the more information will be added to the record.
- Reports can only be read on the server that they were created on. On any other server you will get the message "The report seems to be written in some foreign language. Perhaps it is meant for a village from some distance lands".
- Archaeological reports can be moved from one journal to another. Activate report > Right click other journal > Move report
