*"{{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]]. (Also may be given if the shard really is too old? - Needs confirmation)
* You start to analyse the shard.* Lots of different sized rock stone shards.* You notice a trace of silver ore(northeast).* You take a closer look.* You notice a slight trace of iron ore(south of west).* You finish analysing the shard.
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 aboveof ore : (fields with "?" are unconfirmed, just inserted into "unknown" means you will see something like ''You notice a table for quick referenceslight trace of something, but cannot quite make it out''. Numbers with question marks(?) are uncomfirmed.
===Facts===
*You get more prospecting skill gain when you have lower stamina.
===Uncertain knowledge===*Rare rock shards Analysing can be done while moving, so long as you do not appear move too far away (two tiles) from the tile you are currently working on.*A visual representation of the messages can be found on this [https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/186608-a-visual-guide-to give any more information than normal rock shards-prospecting-and-mining-directions/&tab=comments#comment-1876552 Guide for Analysing. (Needs confirmation)]

[[CDB | Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Prospecting]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}''' == 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 messages==
==How to use==
When analysing a shard, several messages will appear in the event window over several seconds.
===Distance===
Depending on your prospecting skill, you will receive different amounts of information from the shard. Nearby ores will appear as traces every few lines. The strength of the traces shows the distance from the tile the shard originated from, to the tile with the ore vein. The level of your prospecting skill will determine the strength of the traces you can detect.
The four six different strengths:
*'''"Traces"''' - Shows for ore that is 1 tile away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*'''"Slight traces"''' - Shows for ore that is 2 tiles away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*'''"Faint traces"''' - Shows for ore that is 3 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 35.
*'''"Minuscule traces"''' - Shows for ore that is 4 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 5451.*'''"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 of radius equivalent to around the distance.tile analysed, as shown in this picture:
[[File:Analyze.png]]
(white = 1 tile, blue = 2 tiles, cyan = 3 tiles, green = 4 tiles, orange = 5 tiles, pink = 6 tiles)
===Quality===
Additionally, at higher prospecting levels, you can begin to see the quality of veins. Veins farther away require more skill in order to assess the quality. Rather than a specific quality, it lists a range of quality. This is the same vein quality system used in prospecting.
Level necessary to see quality at specific distances:
*"Traces" quality, unlocked at level 22
*"Slight traces" quality, unlocked at level 60 (Needs confirmation) (Required level is <41 and >26)40 *"Faint traces" quality, unlocked at level 70 (Needs confirmation)50*"Minuscule traces" quality, unlocked at level 80 (Needs confirmation)60
*"Vague traces" quality, unlocked at level 90 (Needs confirmation)
So far, for now, '''Silver''' and '''Lead''' are not identificable at '''20 skill''' in Prospecting, but '''Zinc''' is when its beyond the 1st tile radius.
===Direction===
In addition to type, quality and distance of the [[vein]], a direction is available from the analyze messages if you have a [[compass]] in your [[inventory]]. The direction is given as one of 16 possible values:
* the 4 cardinal directions ''north'', ''east'', ''south'' and ''west'' if the prospected ore is in a straight horizontal or vertical line on the grid
* the 4 intermediate directions ''northeast'', ''southeast'', ''southwest'' and ''northwest'' if the prospected ore is in straight diagonal line on the grid
* all other locations fall into the 8 directions ''east/west of north'', ''north/south of east'', ''east/west of south'' and ''north/south of west''
===Example===
This is a possible analyse readout at prospecting level 20-29:
This indicates says that the there's a [[silver ore]] is within one vein right to the northeast from the tile of from which the analysed rock stone shard/tilewas mined. So it could be The distance 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==
*Rare pickaxe will not add another line of information.
*Ores may also be analysed.
*There is a skill tick chance for each trace strength analysis. (ex. If you can go up to "faint traces" you get 3 skill tick chances.)
*It is possible to detect two veins in the same distance zone. Both can have its quality range listed and be of same type, each on separate lines.
*Rock Stone shard QL plays no part in how much information is given.
*[[Flint]] and [[salt]] detection is possible.
