Archaeology Quest

Archaeology & Tomb Raiding

Quest giver: John Aubry

Starting Point: Papua Inn

Quest Reward: Entrance into Tombs/Items to Fence

Speak to John Aubrey. Recently on a dig, North of Papua City, Trammel in the desert, he was attacked by a band of grave robbers and they stole everything. He asks you to retrieve his logbook returned and rid the world of the grave robbers. In return, he will give you a pack containing Archeological Brushes.

Travel north into the sandy passages. Kill grave robbers until one drops Aubrey’s Log book. Return it to him.

If you have not read the “Understanding Archaeology and Ancient Tombs” book you will need to do so before using the brushes.

Use the brushes as you would a shovel for digging, double click the brushes and target the sand.

Note a full Archaeology set will make digging for artifacts faster.

Two Types of Artifacts will be dug up:

• Normal Artifacts (Recovered from and Archaeological Site)
• Priceless Artifacts

Tomb raiding

To gain entrance into a tomb you will need normal artifacts (not the priceless ones). Travel to the Museum in trammel. Speak to the museum curator. She will give you a tomb teleporter in exchange for 10 normal artifacts.

Tombs are random. The teleporter has a timer and must be used before it expires.

You need these minimum skills in:

• Forensic Evaluation (higher the better)
• Begging (for haggling artifact prices)
• Mining 120
• Detect Hidden 110+
• Item ID 100+
• Cartography 110+
• Lockpick 110+
• Plus high luck to uncover these hidden tombs

WARNING! The tombs are for advanced players! There are no places to resurrect and are very dangerous places. Make sure you have your self-res available before you enter and insure your items! Since the tombs are random locations and you need keys to enter, it is difficult to return to your body if you exit. If your body decays here you will lose your items

Priceless Artifacts

Priceless artifacts can be sold to the fence in Ter Mur. Once you find him and speak to him he will tell you his employer is looking to buy priceless artifacts. How much you get for your treasures will depend on your luck and skill and knowing when to quit! You can sell or Haggle, or keep your collectible artifact

After you complete the quest, you can use the brush/items in the Archaeology System
