Digging crystals out of the ground, and knowing what they do.

== Geology Mechanics ==
==== Types of Minerals and Common Terminology ====
The [[Geology]] skill aids in the collection of multiple types of mineral items. 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]].
Collecting gems and crystals is often accomplished through the use of Mineral Surveys crafted through [[Surveying]]. Once crafted, a specific level of [[Geology]] is required to understand each map.
{{:Surveying/Geology Survey Maps}}
==== 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 more likely to be found at a given location as shown in table below. {| 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]] || 1.5 - 3 min || 1-2 || * Higher chance for blue and green gems* Lower chance for orange and white gems including {{Item|Winterprize}}* Rarely Ilmari gems|-| [[Kur Mountains]] || 2.5 - 4.5 min || 1-3 || * Higher chance for orange and white gems including {{Item|Winterprize}}* Lower chance for blue and green gems* Rarely Ilmari gems|} ===== Tip =====* Try to do as many survey maps per batch as your inventory allows to maximize the amount of speed bonuses you get. ====Gem Tiers===={{:Gems}} ==== Crystal Nodes =====Across [[Alharth]], crystal nodes can be discovered and mined for crystals or gemstones.
