{{Quote|Digging crystals out of the ground, and knowing what they do.}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
[[Geology]] allows the collection of gems which are used for crafting and the [[teleportation]] skill. In order to raise this skill a player must first obtain the associated [[Surveying]] skill from [[Jaime Fatholm]], and use a '''Mineral Survey'''.
* Mineral Surveys are named for both a region and color of gemstone. A [[Eltibule Orange Mineral Survey]] must be used in [[Eltibule]] and will only reward standard gems tagged with [[:Category:Items/OrangeCrystal]]. Some gems are less common than others, for example Obsidians are not as common when making Blue Mineral Surveys.
* Speed bonus gems can be obtained if you collect another gem deposit shortly after collecting a previous gem deposit. Speed bonus loot table is based on the location and include some of the rarest gems in game.
* Gems are used in various crafting recipes to create Enchanted equipment. They are placed into the Primary Crystal and Secondary Crystal slots as a method to determine what skills equipment will have when crafted.
* Many NPCs like minerals as favor. Some will prefer specific gems, some will like colors categories, and a few will accept any of them.
* Blue Mineral Surveys leading to [[Amethyst]]s and Green Mineral Surveys leading to [[Aquamarine]]s are quite popular due to their use in [[Teleportation]].

Every Gem is a Crystal but not every Crystal is a Gem.* {{Item|Agate}} is both a Gem and a Crystal.* {{Item|Rubywall Crystal}} is a Crystal but not a Gem.* {{Item|Glowy Yellow Crystal}} is an Irradiated Crystal. Although these are a type of Crystal, they sometimes require [[Mining]] or [[Foraging]] to gather. This type can sometimes be hazardous to carry.* {{Item|Cow Malachite}} is an Attuned Gem crafted through a [[Sigil Scripting]] recipe.* {{Item|Maximized Sardonyx}} is a Catalyst Gem crafted through [[Geology]].* {{Item|Sapphire}} is an "Ilmari Gem," a name given to a group of ten gems added at the same time as the [[Ilmari]] zone. Ilmari Gems are often obtained as a Speed Bonus through [[Surveying book from Joeh]].
====Gameplay Notes====You get surveys that lead to mostly random Collecting gemsand crystals is often accomplished through the use of Mineral Surveys crafted through [[Surveying]]. You have to make Once crafted, a lot specific level of them [[Geology]] is required to get the gems you needunderstand each map.{{:Surveying/Geology Survey Maps}}
Blue surveys ==== Speed Bonus ====If you collect another survey shortly after collecting a previous survey, then you can obtain a speed bonus. While most can be obtained at any location, the amount varies based on the survey location and some gems are best more likely to get the Amethyst required for [[teleportation]]be found at a given location as shown in table below.
Clicking the map survey a little red spot will blink on the minimap{| class="sortable wikitable"!Location!Time Required!Number of Gems!Types of Gems|-| [[Serbule Hills]] || 1.5 - 3 min || 1 || * Higher chance for blue and green gems* Lower chance for orange and white gems (other than Winterprize)* Rarely Ilmari gems|-| [[Eltibule]] || 1.

In addition ===== Tip =====* Try to do as many survey maps per batch as your inventory allows to maximize the blinking red spot on amount of speed bonuses you get. ====Gem Tiers===={{:Gems}} ==== Crystal Nodes ====Across [[Alharth]], crystal nodes can be discovered and mined for crystals or gemstones.
