This guide is for pay-to-play Archaeology training and aims to help players find the most effective and efficient methods of Archaeology training.

Archaeology is a gathering skill where players can excavate materials, soil, and artefacts using mattocks, then restore the artefacts at an archaeologist's workbench. A blue progress bar will appear above the player's head whilst excavating. Once the progress bar has been filled completely, players will receive a damaged artefact. There is no competition for resources except for certain resource gathering areas called material caches. The Resourceful aura gives a 10% chance at not depleting material caches only.

Excavating remains has a mechanic similar to rockertunities called time sprites, with a time limited boost to experience gain while using a particular hotspot. Unlike rockertunities however, time sprites can spawn on the hotspot you begin gathering on.

Mattocks

Mattocks are the primary tools used in Archaeology. They are similar to pickaxes used for Mining, such that players can use better mattocks as they reach higher Archaeology levels. Higher level mattocks boast greater precision, which affects the rate of progress towards artefacts, and greater focus, which increases the rate at which materials are found.

Standard metal mattocks are cheap and easy to obtain, but they cannot be augmented. Unique mattocks, such as the dragon, crystal and imcando mattocks, act as a tier higher than the metal mattock of the same level. The Mattock of Time and Space, as well as Guildmaster Tony's mattock, are unique in that they do not have a metal mattock around their level. All five of these mattocks can be augmented, and it is highly recommended to do so, as augmented mattocks use very little charge but can provide powerful perks like Honed and Fortune to save money and improve experience rates.

Upgrading mattocks as soon as possible will result in the maximum amount of broken artefacts per hour and generally the most materials as well, increasing experience gained. However, a lower tier augmented mattock with the Honed perk can usually gather more materials per hour than a higher tier mattock without it, depending on the perk rank and the difference in tiers.

Augmented equipment

Players with at least level 22 Invention can discover how to augment certain mattocks. This allows the player to create augmented mattocks by using an augmentor on the dragon mattock, crystal mattock, imcando mattock, Mattock of Time and Space or Guildmaster Tony's mattock. At that level players can discover how to make tool gizmos allowing mattocks to use perks by adding them to the augmented mattock. The following perks may be useful to players training Archaeology.

Ancient invention is an expansion for the Invention skill that is unlocked at level 95 Archaeology while training Archaeology at the Stormguard Citadel dig site, which requires level 70 Archaeology to access. Alternatively it can be unlocked at any Archaeology level by purchasing the blueprints off the Grand Exchange, but it is still recommended to get at least 103 Invention to obtain the best possible perks for your mattock. It is highly recommended that players disassemble duplicate artefacts, especially ones that provide historic components, once the collections requiring them are complete (assuming they are not part of a collection one wishes to repeat or one does not wish to farm chronotes) for the ancient components.

Restoration

Restoring artefacts at an Archaeologist's workbench is the source for a large amount of Archaeology experience gained in training and, since collecting artefacts beforehand may take significant time, it is worthwhile maximising the experience gained for restoring artefacts. The experience gained from restoration may be boosted with the following effects:

• Archaeologist's outfit's 6% experience boost
  • This effect is inherited by the master archaeologist's outfit if both sets are owned
• Advanced pulse cores grant a 50% experience boost while equipped and explode when depleted, granting a 2% experience boost that lasts for 10 minutes, stacking up to 10%
  • It is worth noting that because of the high base XP yield of mid- and high-level artefacts, most restorations at later levels will consume an entire Pulse Core for each artefact restored, making this difficult to maintain
• Premier artefact's 10% experience boost, the sign of the porter effect also automatically deposits resources in your material storage.
• Desert pantheon aura's 10% experience boost
• Torstol incense sticks' boost of up to 2% with full potency
• Clan avatar's skilling bonus gives an experience boost of 3-6%
• Wisdom aura's 2.5% experience boost (with additional experience capped at 100,000 per day)
• Wise Invention perk's boost of up to 4% (with additional experience capped at 50,000 per day)
• Rock of Resilience's 4% boost (once every 24 hours)
• Bonus experience in Archaeology which doubles experience received
• Pineappletini 10% during Beach Summer Event
• Nature's Veil effect obtained by capturing a catalyst of alteration that may appear when using a scripture of Bik, boosting experience by 5% for one minute

The effects of the Double XP event do not increase experience gained when restoring artefacts and may even prevent some of the above boosts from being used when active.

Qualifications

While training, it is important to plan out qualifications. Qualifications provide players with a higher rank among the Archaeology Guild, which in turn provides extremely useful benefits such as precision upgrades, auto-screener v1.080 and increased storage capacity for materials, all of which will be beneficial to the player.

The Assistant qualification is obtained upon completion of the Qualification - Assistant achievement which requires the completion of the achievements listed below and talking to Acting Guildmaster Reiniger.

• Qualification - Intern ( 5) – Complete the Archaeology tutorial.
• The Discoverer IV ( 10) – Excavate damaged artefacts. (X/25)
• Collectors Assemble I ( 5) – Complete 1 unique collection for an archaeological collector. (X/1)
• Archaeology 40 ( 5) – Reach level 40 in the Archaeology skill.
• The Restorer IV ( 10) – Restore damaged artefacts. (X/25)
• Mystery Solver I ( 5) – Solve 1 of Gielinor's greatest mysteries.

Complete mysteries along the way, send your research team out on field studies. Don't worry about not having materials to restore each artefact you've discovered, you may purchase them from Grand exchange or alternatively go to the highest level excavation you have access to. Avoid material caches unless absolutely necessary.

The Associate qualification is obtained upon completion of the Qualification - Associate achievement which requires the completion of the achievements listed below and talking to Acting Guildmaster Reiniger.

• Qualification - Assistant ( 10) – Complete all of the listed achievements and attend the qualification ceremony.
• The Discoverer VII ( 30) – Excavate damaged artefacts. (X/250)
• Collectors Assemble III ( 10) – Complete 5 unique collections for archaeological collectors. (X/5)
• The Researcher I ( 5) – Send your research team out on field studies. Tracked in hours. (X/24)
• Archaeology 70 ( 5) – Reach level 70 in the Archaeology skill.
• The Restorer VII ( 30) – Restore damaged artefacts. (X/250)
• Mystery Solver IV ( 15) – Solve 10 of Gielinor's greatest mysteries.

If players opt to get the corresponding artefacts as they level up accordingly, they will not have enough artefacts to be discovered and repaired by the time they hit level 70. If the player wishes to get the Associate qualification immediately upon hitting level 70, then players should spend some time excavating Venator remains for fast artefacts. A slower alternative is to complete Zarosian I collections, which still goes much faster than higher-level artefacts, but will provide a solid income of chronotes and, if delivered to Soran, bonus XP from the pylon battery.

The Professor qualification is obtained upon completion of the Qualification - Professor achievement which requires completion of the below achievements and talking to Acting Guildmaster Reiniger.

• Qualification - Associate ( 25) – Complete all of the listed achievements and attend the qualification ceremony.
• The Discoverer VIII ( 40) – Excavate damaged artefacts. (X/500)
• Collectors Assemble VI ( 40) – Complete 20 unique collections for archaeological collectors. (X/20)
• The Researcher III ( 10) – Send your research team out on field studies. Tracked in hours. (X/72)
• Archaeology 90 ( 5) – Reach level 90 in the Archaeology skill.
• The Restorer VIII ( 40) – Restore damaged artefacts. (X/500)
• Mystery Solver V ( 25) – Solve 15 of Gielinor's greatest mysteries.

The Guildmaster qualification is obtained upon completion of the Qualification - Guildmaster achievement which requires the completion of the achievements listed below and talking to Acting Guildmaster Reiniger.

• Qualification - Professor ( 50) – Complete all of the listed achievements and attend the qualification ceremony.
• The Discoverer IX ( 50) – Excavate damaged artefacts. (X/1,000)
• Collectors Assemble VII ( 60) – Complete 25 unique collections for archaeological collectors. (X/25)
• The Researcher IV ( 20) – Send your research team out on field studies. Tracked in hours. (X/168)
• Archaeology 99 ( 5) – Reach level 99 in the Archaeology skill.
• The Restorer IX ( 50) – Restore damaged artefacts. (X/1,000)
• Mystery Solver VI ( 40) – Solve 20 of Gielinor's greatest mysteries.

Methods of training (1-120)

The majority of the player's experience gain will come solely from restoring damaged artefacts, but these take a significant amount of time to excavate. The 'Total Needed' values in the tables below are the number of artefacts needed to complete mysteries, collections and fill your toolbelt.

To begin training Archaeology players should speak to Acting Guildmaster Reiniger, beginning the Archaeology tutorial. Upon completion players will have obtained level 5 Archaeology and should progress to the Kharid-et digsite.

Levelling guide (1-60)

Dig sites unlocked: Kharid-et, Infernal Source, Everlight

Total experience between these levels is 1,196. Kharid-et, east of Al Kharid, is now accessible. You will need to talk with Dr. Nabanik to view the cutscene. Afterwards, walk down the slope and go to the Venator remains. The piles will have Venator light crossbow (damaged) and Venator dagger (damaged). You should stay at this pile until level 12. At level 10, you can upgrade your bronze mattock to an iron mattock. Mattocks can be purchased at the Archaeology Guild or smithed at an anvil. Always increase your mattock tier when possible, to maximise experience rates.

Venator light crossbow	305.1	2	N/A	Zarosian I (Soran) Museum - Zarosian I (Velucia)	N/A

To make a start on the collection log, you should expect to save two light crossbows and daggers after restoring them and hand them to Soran and Velucia to contribute to their respective collection logs.

This location can also be used later to obtain and/or restore enough artefacts at a rapid rate for the qualifications if necessary, having both a high drop rate of artefacts and requiring few materials to repair.

Total experience between these levels is 5,444. At level 12, you can excavate the dirt pile blocking the doorway that leads into the rest of Kharid-et. Before you can complete the mystery Breaking the Seal, you will need to speak with Dr. Nabanik to receive a Centurion seal. With the seal, click on the excavated door frame to enter Kharid-et Barracks. Head to the first building, on the west side, to the Legionary remains pile.

When you are skilling at any of the excavation piles, you will randomly receive pages that are used for the Prison Break mystery. There are a total of four pages. Once you have recovered four pages, speak with Liam, located by the prison door to receive a dial. Place the dial in the broken dial spot and press these buttons in the order of: Shadow, Blood, Smoke, and Ice to finish the Prison Break mystery.

To continue with your collection log, you should expect to save two Primis Elementis standards, Legionary gladius, and Legionary square shields to hand them in to Soran and Velucia. (One gladius can be obtained from the Demon Door research mission.)

When reaching level 17, move to the castra debris located right in front of the sealed door. Within this debris you can expect to excavate Zaros effigy and a Zarosian training dummy.

Like before, you should look to save two Zaros effigy for Soran and Velucia. However, save three Zarosian training dummies for Soran, Velucia, and Katarina, as giving one to Katarina will unlock her as a researcher for your research team. (One dummy can be obtained from the Proving Grounds research mission.)

When you reach level 20, purchase and equip the Steel Mattock from the shop.

You will unlock the Infernal Source dig site at level 20, but you should stay at Kharid-et until you reach level 24.

Total experience between these levels is 814. At level 24, go to the Infernal Source dig site. Upon using the lift, you will find yourself in the Star Lodge. You will see a furnace missing three crest of Dagon. One restored crest of Dagon and one crest of Dagon (damaged) may be found by opening the Star Lodge storage scattered around the room. They may also be found while excavating in the Lodge art storage hotspots. One goblet can be obtained from the Starry Eyed research mission.

You will want to add it to your toolbelt, ascend into the citadel, and continue excavating the Ikovian memorial piles. At this point it's recommended to stop excavating outside, as the Boots of Flight are only found in the Ikovian memorial piles inside the citadel. While excavating the piles, you will randomly receive an Exile's vow page. Speak to Gee'ka once you obtain it to finish the mystery Atonement. Additionally, while excavating the piles inside the citadel you will randomly get the Boots of Flight. With the boots, traverse the two agility gaps to complete the mystery Leap of Faith.

A player using the Wingsuit at Stormguard Citadel

Total experience between these levels is 139,138.

At level 76, the focus will begin to be split between multiple sites for a while. At level 76, you will receive an invitation from Zanik to explore the Warforge dig site. For the time being, you will put Zanik on hold and return to the Stormguard Citadel. Once you are at the Stormguard Citadel, first recover and repair the wingsuit v1, which can be picked up from the building near the keshik ger piles (make sure you have the Boots of Flight). Unlike other items, the wingsuit is not obtained from excavations. Similarly, locate and install the wingsuit v2 and wingsuit v3 upgrades, and fly through the electric barriers to complete the Wing Out mystery. A map of all the locations will be at the end of the document. After finishing the achievement, head to the Keshik ger pile. While excavating, you may randomly receive journal pages for The Spy Who Loved Metal mystery. Collect three pages and speak to Gee'ka.

After finishing The Spy Who Loved Metal, Wing Out, and the collection for the keshik ger pile, head to the Warforge. It is recommended to start with Stormguard Citadel and then move on to Warforge due to imcando metal pieces (used to forge the Imcando mattock) and resources. Though the rate of obtaining the imcando metal pieces has increased, it is still best to dedicate most of this levelling block to obtaining the pieces. Additionally, Warforge material resources are more expensive than those from other areas. By excavating the piles for longer, you will gain more of the resources passively while uncovering artefacts.

Once you are at Warforge, talk to Zanik to begin a cutscene. After the cutscene, head to the gladiatorial goblin remains. While excavating, you may randomly receive journal pages for The First Commander mystery. Collect five journal pages and turn them in to Zanik to complete the mystery.

This is an alternative method to train from 76 to 87.

• Once the player has reached level 76, they can work toward completing the Green Gobbo Goodies I collection. At this level they can excavate Gladiatorial Goblin Remains. Turning in this collection rewards the player with a guaranteed tetracompass piece and additional chronotes. Opening tetracompasses are a great secondary method of obtaining experience as they can give multiple complete tomes. Completing the Green Gobbo Goodies I collection requires 83 Archaeology.
• The cost for one complete tome, including the grand exchange price of the chronotes received from completing the set 4 times for 1 tetracompass and the price of materials required for artefact restoration would be −1,185,142.67. However, tetracompasses award the player with additional materials, so this often results in a net profit.
• This method is only recommended for players with high levels in other skills, and/or completion of high requirement quests, such as Plague's End. The reason is because the location tetracompasses can point towards can be occasionally locked behind areas requiring the completion of certain quests, or achieving certain skill levels, which can seriously hinder progression in the Archaeology skill.

Total experience between these levels is 153,619. At level 77, you unlock a new excavation hotspot at Daemonheim. Head to the tunnelling equipment repository and excavate the pile. During excavating the pile, you'll randomly find Halak's ring, another piece of the A New Home mystery.

If you haven't gotten all pieces for the Imcando mattock yet, it is advised to return back to the Warforge once you've completed the collection artefacts and found Yorga's pipe.

Total experience between these levels is 480,296‬. When using an Imcando mattock (see here for how to obtain the mattock) with all precision upgrades and wearing the full archaeologist's outfit, experience rates average around 75k xp per hour at the spots below between these levels. At level 81, you will unlock an excavation hotspot at four different dig sites. Stay at Warforge to start on the crucible stands debris excavation piles. Once that collection is finished, hop around from dig site to dig site until all the collections are finished. If you finish all the collections before level 83, return to Warforge if you haven't gotten all four Imcando metal pieces yet. Once you collect an extra aviansie dreamcoat artefact, hand it over to Armadyl on top of Armadyl's Tower in exchange for a ring of Solomon, which unlocks the Death Ward relic power. Once you have received and handed in the Armadylean artefacts you will receive the King Oberon's moonshroom spores which unlocks the Pharm Ecology relic power that prevents mushroom and herb patches from becoming diseased. While excavating at the Pontifex remains you may randomly receive journal pages for The Cult of Orcus. You will need to find three pages and turn them in to Dr Nabanik to complete the mystery. Be sure to complete excavating the journal pages for The Spy Who Loved Metal mystery at the Tailory debris.

Total experience between these levels is 278,259. At level 83, return to Warforge and begin excavating the barricade at the bottom of the crucible. Ridding the barricade will finish the Out of the Crucible mystery. While in the Tunnels area, you can begin the Into the Forge mystery. When complete, it will allow you to unlock the ability to make an Imcando mattock. After completing the two mysteries, head to the goblin dorm debris and excavate the pile. One Thorobshuun battle standard can be obtained from the Melting Point research mission.

While excavating the piles you may come across journal pages for the A Study in Aether mystery. Once you have recovered all five journal pages, speak with Gee'ka to turn in the mystery. You can finish this mystery at any point as every excavation site beyond this one awards these pages; however, it is recommended that you finish it before going beyond the level 91 spot, as you can fully complete the Stormguard mysteries by 95, giving you a new researcher to add to your team. With level 70 Divination, it may be convenient to activate the portal nearby with 20 unnoted quintessence bought off the Grand Exchange.

This is an alternative method to train from 89 to 99.

• Assistant Qualification is required to access this dig site
• Once a player has reached level 89, they can work toward completing the Green Gobbo Goodies II collection. At this level they can excavate Big High War God shrine. Turning in this collection rewards the player with a guaranteed tetracompass piece and additional chronotes. Opening tetracompasses are a great secondary method of obtaining experience as they can give multiple complete tomes. Completing the Green Gobbo Goodies II collection requires 97 Archaeology.
• The value of one complete tome, including the grand exchange price of the chronotes received from completing the set 4 times for 1 tetracompass and the price of materials required for artefact restoration would be −313,172. However, tetracompasses award the player with additional materials, so this cost goes down according to the player's luck.
• This method gives a small net profit.

The Howl's Floating Workshop mystery can then be completed, giving you access to Ancient Invention. NOTE: This digsite is very remote. Without porters or magic notepaper, it will take a considerable amount of time to level up here. If you're not using porters, collect what you need to finish collections and the Howl's Floating Workshop mystery and then return to the Yu'biusk animal pen at the Warforge. Porters are integral to maintain the average xp rates stated above. One Stormguard gerege can be obtained from the Night and Day research mission.

At level 98, return to either the Stormguard Citadel (destroyed golem) or the Infernal Source (byzroth remains). Upon completing one of the collections, switch to the other one. It is recommended to do the Infernal Source first, so you spend more time at Stormguard to collect more blueprint pages. At Infernal Source, collect two extra hellfire katars (one from Hell Mouths) so that they can be turned in to Dagon the Gatekeeper for The Rings of Razulei relic item. Also, remember to keep an extra golem heart and golem instruction as it is needed to make golem framework at an invention workbench. One Golem instruction can be obtained from The Aetherium Giant research mission.

At level 100, send out the special research Power Behind the Throne. Upon its completion, head to Warforge and interact with the throne. You will discover that you need a 'Forged in War' sculpture. While you are excavating the Kyzaj champions boudoir pile, recover and restore a Dorgeshuun spear (damaged) and a 'Forged in War' sculpture (damaged) as both items are needed to finish the You Have Chosen... mystery. Use the sculpture on the throne, click the Hidden Button that appears to the side of the throne, give the spear to Zanik, and watch the cutscene to finish the mystery. The wall can then be passed through. One Dorgeshuun Spear can be obtained from the Too Many Bones research mission. One 'Forged in War' sculpture can be obtained from the Power Behind the Throne research mission.

After completing You Have Chosen... and the collections, feel free to go to either Kharid-et or Everlight. At Kharid-et be sure to keep an extra 'Smoke Cloud' spell scroll as it is needed for The Vault of Shadows mystery.

One spell scroll can be obtained from Where There's Smoke research mission.

This is an alternative method to train from 100+.

• Once the player has reached level 100 they can complete the Saradominist III collection. Turning in this collection rewards the player with a guaranteed tetracompass piece and additional chronotes. Opening tetracompasses are a great secondary method of obtaining experience as they can give multiple complete tomes.
• The value of one complete tome, including the grand exchange price of the chronotes received from completing the set 4 times for 1 tetracompass and the price of materials required for artefact restoration would be -2,863,084. However, tetracompasses award the player with additional materials, so this cost goes down according to the player's luck.
• This is regarded as an expensive method of training through these levels, but grants additional experience for the same work done.

Total experience between these levels is 1,653,867‬. At level 101 return to the Orthen Dig Site and head to the Observation outpost. First, it is recommended to complete Incomplete Portal Network I, which allows activating the Orthen teleportation device at this excavation site. This additionally requires 20 ancient vis. Both of the excavation hotspot types within the outpost have a chance to drop the four journals required for the Death Watch mystery. Lastly this is the highest site that provides fragments for the Summoning renewal recipe.

Total experience between these levels is 1,826,016. At level 102 stay at the Observation outpost and switch to excavating the Experiment workbench. Soma is an archaeology relic which can be obtained by following the instructions of Skeka's tablet within the observation outpost's ruins, next to the experiment workbench. The Orthen furnace core is a skilling off-hand which requires level 99 Smithing and level 102 Archaeology to create. It provides benefits to the Firemaking and Smithing skills while equipped. This site also has a chance to drop fragments for the Holy aggroverload recipe.

The Dragonkin II collection only requires four artefacts and awards 75 Rex skeleton fragments per completion, when turning the collection in to Sharrigan. Assuming that the fragments are turned in in sets of 100+ this equals an additional 42,921XP per completion or about 10,000 experience per artefact. This puts the effective XP per artefact at about 31K which is comparable with artefacts of level 110. As such repeating this collection is an effective XP strategy up to level 110 or so. As a bonus it is done in an area that has a material cart and therefore saves on porters.

Total experience between these levels is 2,016,081. By now, it is highly recommended that the player begins to stock up on signs of the porter, as the vast majority of excavation sites past these levels are either extremely remote or do not have a materials cart near them. While some will have slower access to a cart, usually requiring a teleport or leaving the excavation area, this will severely hamper XP rates if one needs to constantly run to a cart to deposit. At level 103, return to Stormguard and excavate the keshik weapon rack.

Investigate the imposing door in the north-eastern corner of the Daemonheim - Castle excavation site to enable the special research On the Threshold of the Mind. Unlocking the research requires 95 Dungeoneering. Once researched, enter the imposing door to arrive at the Daemonheim - Depths excavation site (requires a 'Friendship bracelet' on the toolbet) and excavate the Projection space piles in the southwest of the room. You will find a Polished stone and 'Charm plate' while excavating, which can be turned into Skaldrun to partially complete the A New Form mystery. You will also have a small chance to find pieces of the Balarak's sash brush. You should also go up the southeastern stairs to collect and read the aged journal to allow collecting pieces of the Skeka's hypnowand on Anachronia.

Total experience between these levels is 2,225,933. At level 104, return to either the Infernal Source or Warforge and excavate either the hellfire forge or Warforge scrap pile. One might consider training at the Infernal Source over the Warforge, as the two artefacts from Warforge require materials only obtainable from other digsites. Experience rates average around 210k xp/hour when training at the Hellfire forge with all listed bonuses. It is also worth noting that if using a teleport to the Infernal Source and selecting 'The Harrowing' option when entering the site, one can travel very quickly to and from places such as the Bank. The same holds true for Warforge; teleporting to Thalmund's forge puts you right next to the Warforge scrap pile excavation, saving on porters at the cost of time.

Total experience between these levels is 2,457,626. At level 105, return to Everlight and begin excavating the stockpiled art pile. While excavating, you will commonly find one to ten mosaic pieces. Use 300 mosaic pieces and the restored Hallowed Be the Everlight painting on the elevator to finish the Hallowed Be... mystery. This does not consume the painting. Going up the elevator, use the four bucklers, found while excavating piles/caches on each island, on the statues to start a light puzzle. Complete the puzzle, use the elevator to go up again, and use a kantharos cup on the light to complete The Everlight mystery. Also if not already completed, use a Hallowed lantern from level 42 on the light to make a Hallowed lantern (lit) for 'The Epic of Hebe' (not to be confused with the mystery of the same name). One 'Hallowed Be the Everlight' painting can be obtained from the Battle of Optimatoi research mission.

Total experience between these levels is 2,713,437. At level 106 return to the Orthen Dig Site and teleport to the Observation outpost. Enter the site, interact with the Dragonkin Pylon and complete the puzzle by changing the symbols on the Pylon as follows: 3-1-5, 4-1-4, 1-6-7. This results in obtaining a Strange device. Interact with the device and then walk to the Moksha ritual site. At the site, interact with the Dragonkin statue and enter the following chat options: Sha, Cra, Lith, Kab. Then, as before change the symbols as follows: 5-1-6, 4-1-8, 5-1-4. Now you can enter the site and activate the Orthen teleportation device after completing first Incomplete Portal Network II and having 20 unnoted Orthenglass in your inventory. Use of Signs of the Porter is useful at this location. Otherwise, banking can be done by using the Portal Network to teleport to Base Camp and back to the Moksha Ritual Site. While excavating in the area, you will come across four pages (Ethical Concerns, Higher Stakes, Moksha, and Raksha) needed for the Free Your Mind mystery. The restored Singing bowl is used with a rope and small fishing net to catch a tranquil yellow salamander for the mystery Fragmented Memories, see level 108.

Kharid-et pillars must be active or all 8 anchors must be powered to enter through the Praetorium war table. There are two items that will complete the two mysteries at Kharid-et: Animate Dead spell scroll for The Vault of Shadows and portable phylactery for The Forgotten Prisoner. Additionally, there are a total of eleven journal pages to be acquired to finish the Decimation and Shadow Fall mysteries. One spell scroll can be obtained from the Shadow Play research mission.

Using a restored Lingam stone, Master control and Singing bowl, obtained from the Moksha device excavation spot, the Fragmented Memories mystery can now be completed. This unlocks the next excavation site: Xolo city.

If you've managed to obtain a Doru spear (damaged) and a Kontos lance (damaged) from Ancient caskets and obtain a Gathering boost from pulse cores, this is technically the earliest level you can complete the Saradominist IV collection (for Sir Atcha). Doing so awards the Inspire Effort relic, which will boost all archaeology XP by 2%, eight levels early.

Total experience between these levels is 4,032,140. At level 110, return to the Warforge and begin excavating the Warforge weapon rack. While excavating you will have a chance to find journal pages. There are five journal pages to be turned in to Zanik to complete the final mystery, Heart of the Forge.

After completing the mystery and collection at Warforge, head to the Dagon Overlook at the Infernal Source Dig Site to excavate the Chthonian trophies hotspots. It is highly recommended to return to the Warforge weapon rack after completing these collections, as the Chaos Elemental trophies require hellfire metal that cannot be obtained from these hotspots. Each restoration of a Chaos Elemental trophy would cost 336,600 in hellfire metal alone assuming it is not gathered from a material cache or another hotspot.

Total experience between these levels is 4,915,228. At level 112, stay at Stormguard and switch to the Aetherium forge piles. If desired, you can now complete the Mysterious City mystery using Pulse Core boosts for +150 Monolith energy, which may be useful for harnessing multiple energy-intensive Relics. To do so, its recommended to wait at Fort Forinthry on World 84 for other players to activate a Pulse Core boost. It is important to exit to the lobby every ~45 seconds (Can be pushed to 55+ seconds with berseker curse. A timer is recommended) to keep your boost from draining below 120. Now, teleport to Orthen Dig Site and use the Orthen teleportation device to Xolo city if unlocked. Head inside using a restored Lingam stone and excavate the Saurthen debris for a 'Raksha' idol (damaged) and Gold dish (damaged), continuing to Lobby every 45 seconds. Fixate is recommended to ensure you get both unique artefacts. If you have Hi-spec monocles, this is a great time to use them. With enough patience, you will be able to restore the artefacts and use them to complete the Mysterious City mystery, permanently increasing your Monolith energy by 150. It should be noted that a similar method to this may be used for boosting to all desired Relics past this point, notably Conservation of Energy to substantially increase Magic and Necromancy combat efficiency.

It is recommended to complete Incomplete Portal Network III and bring along 20 Quintessence to unlock the Orthen teleportation device at this site which is located west of the bottom of the staircase leading north from Laniakea. With a restored Lingam stone interact with the door to the east of the staircase to enter the site. You will need 4 pages for the mystery I Am Become Death.

After this, research Thought Process and return to Daemonheim and pass through the imposing door to arrive at the Depths excavation site. Excavate the Traveller's station in the northwest of the room. A mangled trinket and cracked totem can be found while excavating, which can be handed to Skaldrun to finish off the A New Form mystery. Continue to excavate here to find the strange token which can be used to complete A New Age.

Total experience between these levels is 5,991,725. At this point it is recommended to boost to level 117 with the Archaeology potion (this will take many doses) and complete the Saradominist IV collection (for Sir Atcha). Doing so awards the Inspire Effort relic, which will boost all archaeology XP by 2%. At level 114, return to Kharid-et and begin excavating the Praetorian remains. You can collect Praetorian's log pages and Commander's log pages here if not already done so.

This is an alternative method to train from 114 to 120.

• Once you have reached level 114 and 115, players may begin working toward completing the Zarosian IV and Red Rum Relics III collections. It is recommended to excavate the Praetorian remains and Bandos sanctum debris and stack artefacts in bank until you have reached level 118. This is to maximise the number of artefacts that you have without having to go back at a later stage.
• Once you have reached level 118, you can move on to excavate the war table debris at Kharid-et. Excavate enough artefacts so that you have an even amount of level 114 and level 118 artefacts and restore them. These 6 artefacts make up the Zarosian IV collection log with Soran and Velucia. Soran will give you 100 pylon batteries for every completed log you hand in. These pylon batteries can be handed into one of the two pylons within the Kharid-et digsite for experience.
• Note that the Zarosian IV log requires an excessive amount of ancient vis and tyrian purple, with all of the praetorian remains spots requiring the former and war table debris requiring the latter. These two make up the bulk of the log's cost, most of which should be remedied from their respective sites, but part of it will have to be bought or gathered.
• You should be at least level 119 by now. At this point, you can finish the Red Rum Relics III collection with the makeshift pie oven. Continue excavating until you have an even number of 'Da Boss Man' sculpture artefacts with those received at the level 115 Bandos sanctum debris and restore the artefacts. These 4 artefacts make up the Red Rum Relics III collection log with General Bentnoze and award the player with a tetracompass piece each time the log is handed in. Players have a chance of receiving up to 2 complete tomes with each ancient chest that they open, which will grant either 80,261 or 160,522 experience depending on the amount of tomes obtained from the chest. You should be level 120 once all your artefacts have been restored.
• If you are aiming for 200m experience, it is recommended to go back and focus on the Red Rum Relics III collection log whilst the Pylon is not active and on the Zarosian IV log for Soran whilst the Pylon buffs are active. This is because Red Rum Relics III requires less materials compared to Zarosian IV. Any Horogothgar cooking pots obtained should be restored, disassembled and turned into timeworn/vintage packs to recoup some of the costs from Zarosian IV.
• Apart from the excavation experience, a Zarosian IV log grants the player 291,600 experience, while a Red Rum Relics III log grants the player 159,999.9 experience.
• At level 116, 117 and 118, take a moment to excavate the Tsutsaroth remains, optimatoi remains and Howl's workshop debris so that you can complete the Zamorakian IV, Saradominist IV and Armadylean III collection logs and receive Ariadne's Diadem, Petasos and Howl's Thinking Cap. These can be offered to the Monolith to unlock the Inspire Love, Inspire Effort and Inspire Genius relics, which will allow you to gain 2% more xp when training support skills, gathering skills including Archaeology, and artisan skills respectively. Make sure you harness the Inspire Effort relic whilst training archaeology.

Total experience between these levels is 6,615,397. At this point it is recommended to boost to level 117 with the Cup of soil tea (several will be required), or if you have the focus high enough, an emmissary banner boost will work, and complete the Saradominist IV collection (for Sir Atcha). Doing so awards the Inspire Effort relic, which will boost all archaeology XP by 2%. Otherwise, return to the Warforge (Crucible) and begin excavating the Bandos sanctum debris piles. Due to the low cost of materials and the competitive xp rates, it may be useful to remain here until level 119 and stack up relics to use for the Red Rum Relics III collection. After completing the collection once, it will always award a Tetracompass piece on subsequent completions. This will give a large sum of XP from Complete tomes and miscellaneous damaged artefacts obtained from Ancient caskets, making level 119 a breeze, and give plenty of archaeology-boosting items if the player chooses to level past 120.

Restore one of each artefact and activate the relic Inspire Effort before restoring more artefacts. Return to Everlight (Underwater cave) and begin excavating the optimatoi remains. If desired, you are now at the level where you can boost to 120 Archaeology to complete the Mysterious City mystery to maximise your monolith energy. With all possible Archaeology bonuses excluding temporary bonuses (e.g. Materials manual), you will need about 17 doses of Archaeology potion.

Total experience between these levels is 8,903,655. At level 118, you can go to either Kharid-et (Praetorium) and excavate the war table debris, or to the Stormguard Citadel to excavate the Howl's workshop debris. It is highly recommended that you complete the workshop debris collection then remain at the war table debris for the remainder of the level, as every artefact at Howl's workshop requires a material that cannot be obtained at the site (goldrune, white oak, and Orthenglass) and thus will be significantly more expensive in the long run. Remaining at the war table for longer also grants you the extremely rare chance of obtaining an Inquisitor staff piece, although the war table does provide the highest chance of obtaining one (1/50,000 for any piece on a successful excavation, or 1/45,000 with the Kharid-et pylons active). One Chuluu Stone can be obtained from the Howling Man research mission. You can collect Praetorian's log pages and Commander's log pages here if not already done so.

This is an alternative method to train from 119 to 120.

• Once the player has reached level 119, they can complete the Green Gobbo Goodies III collection. Turning in this collection rewards the player with a guaranteed tetracompass piece and additional chronotes. Opening tetracompasses are a great secondary method of obtaining experience as they can give multiple complete tomes. Completing the Green Gobbo Goodies III collection requires 119 Archaeology.
• The value of one complete tome, including the grand exchange price of the chronotes received from completing the set 4 times for 1 tetracompass and the price of materials required for artefact restoration would be −105,822.67. However, tetracompasses award the player with additional materials, so this cost goes down according to the player's luck.
• This is regarded as an expensive method of training through these levels, but grants additional experience for the same work done.

Total experience between these levels is 9,830,430. Travel to the Xolo city excavation site and excavate the Xolo remains. You will need 4 pages for the I Am Become Death Mystery.

Now excavate at the Makeshift pie oven (Thalmund's Forge) until you have completed the collections. As this collection is cheaper in the long run, it is recommended to focus this site until 120.

One 'Da Boss Man' sculpture can be obtained from the Big High War Chest research mission.

After reaching level 120 you can continue skilling at the Xolo city excavation site by excavating Saurthen debris. This is the highest excavation site available. A restored Gold dish and 'Raksha' idol are required for completing the Mysterious City mystery, which increases the power of the Mysterious monolith by 150. One 'Raksha' idol can be obtained from the Xolo Dorado research mission. For players wishing to power level to 200m, completing the Dragonkin IV collection gives 150 Rex skeleton fragments and 6980 Chronotes, giving 116,010 extra experience per completion. Counting in the 253,333 exp from restoring the artefacts needed, this comes out to 369,343 experience per completion. You will need 4 pages for the I Am Become Death mystery.

All levels

Kharid-et Pylon

When the pylons at Kharid-et reach 100% charge, for the next 30 minutes they will provide a 10% experience increase, 5% precision bonus, and the ability to, extremely rarely, obtain inquisitor staff parts while excavating anywhere in the fortress.

Rex skeleton

When the Orthen skeleton reaches 100% charge, for the next 65 minutes it will provide a 25% increase in experience and a 10% increased drop rate for materials.

Money-making while training

Completing collections

The Museum - Saradominist II collection displayed in the interface used to hand-in artefacts to Velucia.

Players may obtain chronotes by handing in restored artefacts to collectors. All collectors offer chronotes for each artefact handed in, as well as a set bonus. Velucia offers a slightly larger set bonus for completed collections. Collections can be completed an infinite number of times and always reward the same amount of chronotes. Completing each collection exactly once awards the player with a total of 554,464 chronotes, which is about half the amount required to buy all items in the Archaeology Guild Shop. The following table lists the collections, the level required to complete them, as well as cost calculations:

Harvesting caches

Caches are an effective way to make money, since they are geared specifically for harvesting materials. The experience given won't match that of excavation hotspots, because no artefacts can be found at caches. Caches in non-dig site areas do not yield any soil.

As many caches are located far from deposit boxes, players can use a Beast of Burden such as a war tortoise or pack yak to carry more items and reduce the number of bank trips. Players can also bring signs of the porter or the grace of the elves necklace to automatically transport materials to the material storage container.

Screening soil

Players can buy various types of soil on the Grand Exchange, and then screen them at the screening station in the Archaeology Campus for experience and materials. Rarely, damaged artefacts may be found while sifting soil. Some soil will not yield any rewards, although most of them generally do, though this is typically limited to more common materials.

There are six different types of soil not counting the Senntisten soil used during the tutorial. The minimum level is the level required to be able to screen that soil. The maximum level is the highest level of the material which can be obtained with that soil. With higher levels, players will get more valuable materials and experience with the same type of soil. The soil box can be used to screen more soil at one time, maximum capacity is 500 each with all soil box upgrade.

Soil type	Minimum level	Maximum level	GE price	GE price for 500
Senntisten soil	1	1	N/A	N/A
Ancient gravel	5	58	1,442	721,000
Fiery brimstone	20	36	3,060	1,530,000
Saltwater mud	42	51	2,541	1,270,500
Aerated sediment	70	91	2,547	1,273,500
Earthen clay	76	83	2,271	1,135,500
Volcanic ash	90	120	1,615	807,500

Using screening station

A fast method to screen soil is as follows:

1. Only equip the archaeological soil box, keeping the rest of the backpack empty
2. Visit the bank chest at the Archaeology Campus
3. Select "Fill" option on the soil box to fill it with all the soil types from your bank; maximum capacity is 500 each with soil box upgrade
4. Walk to the screening station and screen your soil until your backpack is full of materials
5. Deposit all materials to material storage container after setting the default option to "Deposit-All"
6. Repeat from step 2

Using Sift Soil

Required items

• Archaeological soil box,
• Mud battlestaff (or equivalent) and astral runes for Sift Soil spell
• Master archaeologist's outfit

Optional items

• Dwarf weed incense sticks for chance to automatically bank material
• Waterfiend familiar to provide an chance at gaining extra material or artefacts
• Grace of the elves with charges and premier artefact acting as a sign of the porter

With a full soil box and required items, players can cast Sift Soil near any material storage container and deposit all materials. If using grace of the elves, dwarf weed incense sticks, sign of the porter benefit from premier artefact, players can expect roughly 5,680 materials per hour.

Alternative methods of gaining experience

Research

Main article: Research

The special research interface.

Once the player becomes an assistant, the player can send research missions from the Exam Centre at the cost of chronotes. The cost and experience scales upwards with the player's Archaeology level, the dig site the team is sent to, and the team members sent.

Intern, assistant, associate, and professor researchers require the player to obtain one rank higher (e.g. to recruit professor researchers, the player needs to be a guildmaster). Some of these researchers will require an item, while some require both an item and a specific quest completed in order to join.

Consultants can only be recruited when the player has solved all mysteries from their respective dig site; full completion is not required. They are incredibly useful to bring along, depending on the duration of the expedition; however, they generally have a high cost modifier to make up for their abilities.

Each researcher has a speed and cost modifier, which decreases the time it takes to finish an expedition, and the amount of chronotes needed to start it respectively. Higher researchers will have more speed, but cost more to be sent.

There are two types of research available: normal and special research.

Normal research can be done in intervals of 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hour runs, with the cost increasing accordingly based on the time for the expedition. At the end of the expedition, the team will return with resources, both agnostic and unique. Occasionally they will also bring in artefacts based on the player's Archaeology level. Normal research for the dig sites are available once the player accesses that dig site for the first time.

Special research is limited and are found by studying special features in each dig site. These are faster to complete than a normal expedition, but only yield one artefact that is typically linked to solving a mystery. Special research cannot be boosted.

When sending out long expeditions, send the best researchers you have available - Movario and Asgarnia Smith are particularly useful and should be prioritised for the research team due to their Resourceful ability that causes the expedition to yield more resources when they return.

Dr Nabanik is useful if sending out 2+ hour expeditions as he will always bring back an artefact. Mr Mordaut is also useful for 24 hour expeditions as this basically guarantees a tetracompass piece.

Once unlocked, Zanik should take priority for any expedition duration, as she comes with an 8% speed modifier and has no cost modifier, as she works free of charge.

Always try to send out your team, schedule your time properly preferably every 2 hours if you have Dr Nabanik unlocked, in order to maximise experience gains. It is also advisable to send out expeditions to the dig site you are currently training at as the materials gathered can provide a surplus for your restorations.

Complete tomes

While excavating at a digsite or material caches, players may occasionally find complete tomes. These can be brought to Guildmaster Tony's desk to copy the text for Archaeology experience, which scales with the player's level. Having tier 3 or tier 4 luck will increase the rate of finding these tomes.

Complete tomes are also a reward from ancient caskets, which always contain 1-2 tomes. While tomes cannot be banked, those obtained from ancient caskets can technically be "banked" as long as the player keeps the casket, the tetracompass or its parts stored in the bank.

If players are particularly interested in mass collecting tomes for experience, complete a collector's log that awards a tetracompass piece - one that is easy to make, and if possible, accordingly to the player's Archaeology level. Note that in order to make a tetracompass, the player needs 30 each of the dig site colours.

Books/quests for Archaeology experience

This article or section is incomplete and could do with improvement. No reason specified. If work is being done on this page, replace this tag with {{construction}}. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Certain areas in digsites, such as bookshelves and chests, when searched, grant rewards, including Archaeology Experience. These are all 1-time rewards, and will not grant further rewards after being searched.

Tetracompass

The tetracompass is a mechanic similar to the crystal triskelion in that the pieces are obtained randomly while excavating or obtained from completing certain collections. A completed powered tetracompass then becomes similar to a Treasure Trail compass clue leading to an ancient casket. The rewards offer many resources along with complete tomes. For information on training as well as profit making, see Tetracompass value. While you can obtain the pieces randomly (increasing with tier 2 or higher luck), some collections offer tetracompass pieces when completed.

The best tetracompass collections are that from the goblin generals Bentnoze and Wartface, as their collections are relatively high-levelled, providing a good amount of experience while the player stockpiles artefacts for mass-handing. Red Rum Relics III is by far the easiest tetracompass collection (simply requiring artefacts from 2 spots), but requires 119 Archaeology in order to be completed.
