“Analyzing the land to locate valuable resources or important locations. Surveying has many uses, but is most commonly used to make resource maps for Geology and Mining.
Surveying is a skill that produces surveys which in turn are used to acquire gems and metals.
Surveys are a kind of map that reveals the location of a resource on the minimap, they come in several types.
- Mining Surveys are linked to the Mining skill and lead to metals such as Metal Slabs
- Crystal Surveys are linked to the Geology skill and lead to Redwall Crystals
- Mineral Surveys are linked to the Geology skill and lead to gems such as Quartz and Agate
How to Learn
To get started with this skill, buy the Surveying Book from Joeh.
Using a Survey Map
Right click a survey in your inventory and a little red spot will blink on the minimap, in addition to an on screen message which gives you approximate distances:
“The Lapis Lazuli is 534m west and 1248m south.
Tips
A lot of running may be involved checking each location. To alleviate this, you may want to focus on one quadrant of the map. Unfortunately as of the alpha, items can not be freely rearranged in the inventory so as you run around you may have to right click all the surveys continually to find the ones closest to where you are.
