This can be done by completing her 2 initial favors. Once she's Comfortable with you, Jaime will give you a few starting ingredients and teach you the recipe for '''Serbule Redwall Crystal Survey''' and '''Serbule Hills Redwall Crystal Survey'''. In the Recipe window, you can see that they require 1 Simple Parchment, 1 Basic Ink, and 1 Redwall Crystal (only a 20% chance to consume the Crystal). The parchment and ink can be bought from Jaime. : Once you get all three ingredients you can create a map by pushing the 'Survey' button on the recipe. The survey map will be placed in your inventory. You will need to be in several types:the area (ie Serbule or Serbule Hills) for which you want to create a survey.

A common technique for running multiple surveys is Getting attacked while trying to use a survey will cancel it and force you to sort the maps by the "quadrant" they're in on the map-click, and then run through each quadrant!so try to kill any annoying mobs around you first.

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview=='''Surveying''' is a skill that produces surveys that lead to gems and minerals. Creating surveys increases the surveying Surveying skill, while ''using'' the surveys increases [[geologyGeology]] (mineral surveys) and or [[miningMining]] (mining surveys).
* '''Mining Surveys''' are linked to the [[MiningUrzab]] in [[Amulna]] skill will unlock levels 51-60 and lead to metals such as Metal Slabsteaches 51+ recipes. He also unlocks levels 61-70 and teaches recipes of those levels.* '''Crystal Surveys''' are linked to the [[GeologyDachak the Digger]] skill and lead to Redwall Crystalsunlocks 71-80.* '''Mineral Surveys''' are linked to [[Glowing Sphere]] in the [[GeologyYeti Cave]] skill and lead is willing to teach surveying recipes for [[gemsKur Mountains]] such as Quartz and Agateto travelers willing to help out with a task.
==Connected Skills==How to start surveying====To obtain the surveying skill, you first need to become comfortable with '''Sub-Skills:'''* None'''Secondary Skills:'''* None'''Related Skills:'''* [[Geology]]* [[Jaime FatholmMining]] in South Serbule. This can be done by completing her 2 initial favors, which require 6 hardboiled eggs and 5 healing potions.
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics =====Using a Map=A Basic Survey ===
Right click a survey in your inventory and a little red spot will temporarily blink on the minimap (it can be difficult to see if it is on a bright area, it seems to blend in). An on screen message will also give you approximate distances, though it is less practical. It can also help to enlarge your map window, by dragging the lower right corner.
Once you are near enough to the location indicated by the red spot(inside the 100x100 meter box around the treasure), you click the survey map again, and you will get your crystal or mining reward. At that time you will also level your skill get XP in either geology Geology or miningMining, depending on the kind of survey.
Tip: A common technique for running multiple surveys is to sort the maps by the "quadrant" they're in on the map, and then run through each quadrant! Another helpful technique can be to mark the (closest) survey destinations with a Pin (Point of Interest dot) on the map; Once you are close to the dot you can right click the surveys to see if you are close enough. (Note be sure to remove the Pin after you collected the survey).
=== Speed Bonus ===
Whenever you finish a survey, a short timer starts. If you finish another survey within that time, you are rewarded with a speed bonus that gives you random minerals, ores, or other ingredients. The pool of random options depends on what zone you are in and what type of survey you're doing (mineral or mining). For example, completing a mineral survey in Serbule will be more likely to reward green or blue minerals, while Eltibule will likely reward orange and white. If you want to take advantage of the bonus, it is recommended to create a few Surveys, take a look at their locations, and plan which one should be done first, second, third, etc. in fast succession.
For Serbule and Eltibule, the timer is randomly chosen from a number between 1.5-3.5 minutes. In Kur, it's 2.5-4.5.
====Mining Speed Bonuses====
*Eltibule Good Mining Survey: [[Masterwork Metal Slab]], [[Good Metal Slab]], [[Basic Metal Slab]], [[Simple Metal Slab]], [[Copper Ore]], [[Gold Nugget]], [[Flinty Rock]], [[Tungsten]], [[Pyrite]], [[Fire Dust]]
====Mineral Speed Bonuses====
For mineral (gem) maps, the speed bonus is determined by location

When you use them, no red dot will appear on your minimap, and won't be given the exact location. You'll only be told the distance to the motherlode. If you're 1000 meters away, the motherlode could be on any point in the 1000-radius circle around you. When you find the motherlode, you'll be rewarded with 15- || Amethyst30 slabs, with a mean of 22 per motherlode survey. ====Motherlode bonus ores====When you complete a motherlode survey you will receive slabs plus a bonus of a small amount of ore, Blue Spinelslabs, Fluoritedust, Lapis Lazulior other materials.
