Analyse is an action granted by the [[prospecting]] skill. When used on recently mined [[rock shards]], or even [[ores]], it allows you to determine if any ore veins are nearby the tile the shard was mined from, as well as their approximate distance from that tile. The action is first unlocked at prospecting skill level 20. To Analyse, activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click a rock shards, and select "Analyse."
==Event messages==
*You finish analysing the shard.
This indicates that the [[silver ore ]] is within one tile of the analysed rock shard/tile. So it could be one tile North, South, East, West, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, or Northeast of the analysed tile. It 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. ==Notes== ===Certain knowledge===*Rare pickaxe will not add another line of information. *At least the first two lines can show the QL range of the vein.*There's some randomness to the information you get, so it's worth analyzing several rocks in the same spot.*Once a rock shard has been analysed it cannot be analysed again.*Ores may also be analysed. ===Reasonably certain knowledge===*Prospecting skill influences the quality of information.*Higher rock quality influence the quality of information. ==See also==*[[Prospecting]]
