'''{{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 [[JoehJaime Fatholm]], and use a '''Crystal 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]].=== In-Game Description ===Digging crystals out of the ground, and knowing what they do.=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===* [[Jaime Fatholm]] teaches [[Surveying]], which is needed to level [[Geology]]== Connected Skills ======= Secondary Skills: =====* [[Surveying]]* [[Mining]]===== Synergy Levels: =====Bonus [[Synergy Levels]] for [[Geology]] can be obtained from the following skills and levels::; [[Mining]]:: Level 50:; [[Foraging]]:: Level 50:; [[Surveying]]:: Level 10, Level 44 <!-- transclusing tables for easier edits/updates -->{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Recipes}}== Geology Mechanics ====== Types of Minerals and Common Terminology ====The [[Geology]] skill aids in the collection of multiple types of mineral items.
