Surveys come in several types:=== In-Game Description ===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.
* '''Mining Surveys''' are linked === Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===<!-- A list of methods to learn and level the skill -->* [[MiningJaime Fatholm]] skill will teach you surveying when you become Comfortable with her. 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 lead to metals such as Metal Slabs* teach you the recipe for '''Serbule Redwall Crystal SurveysSurvey''' are linked to the [[Geology]] skill and lead to Redwall Crystals* '''Mineral SurveysSerbule Hills Redwall Crystal Survey''' are linked to . In the [[Geology]] skill Recipe window, you can see that they require 1 Simple Parchment, 1 Basic Ink, and lead 1 Redwall Crystal (only a 20% chance to [[gems]] such as Quartz consume the Crystal). The parchment and Agateink can be bought from Jaime.
====How to Learn====To : Once you get started with this skill, buy all three ingredients you can create a map by pushing the 'Survey'Surveying Book'' from [[Joeh]]button on the recipe. The survey map will be placed in your inventory. You will need to be in the area (ie Serbule or Serbule Hills) for which you want to create a survey.
====Using a Map====* [[Urzab]] in [[Amulna]] will unlock levels 51-60 and teaches 51+ recipes. He also unlocks levels 61-70 and teaches recipes of those levels.* [[Dachak the Digger]] unlocks 71-80.Right click a survey * [[Glowing Sphere]] in your inventory and a little red spot will blink on the minimap (it can be difficult [[Yeti Cave]] is willing to teach surveying recipes for [[Kur Mountains]] to see if it is on travelers willing to help out with a bright area, it seems to blend in). An on screen message will also give you approximate distances, though it is less practicaltask.
A lot of running may be involved checking each location. 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.==Connected Skills=='''Sub-Skills:'''* None'''Secondary Skills:'''* None'''Related Skills:'''* [[Geology]]* [[Mining]]
{| class="" style="background=== Synergy Levels: =====Bonus [[Synergy Levels]] for [[Surveying]] can be obtained from the following skills and levels::; [[Mining]]:: Level 15:#f0f0f0;border[[Foraging]]:: Level 40:1px solid #ccc;[[Geology]]:: Level 10 {{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Recipes}} == {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ===== Using 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 get XP in either Geology or Mining, depending on the kind of survey. Getting attacked while trying to use a survey will cancel it and force you to re-click, so try to kill any annoying mobs around you first. 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!

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview=='''Surveying''' is a skill that produces surveys, which are a kind of map that reveals lead to gems and minerals. Creating surveys increases the location of a resource on Surveying skill, while using the minimapsurveys increases [[Geology]] (mineral surveys) or [[Mining]] (mining surveys).

| 1 Eltibule<br>Kur || Serbule Redwall Crystal Survey || 1 |Orange or White Gems and, more rarely, 'Ilmari' gems| } === Using A Motherlode Map === Motherlode maps are more difficult than normal surveys, but give much greater rewards. 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- 30 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, slabs, dust, or other materials. The following table shows which materials you are likely to receive, arranged approximately from most likely to least likely.{|| Redwall Crystal{{STDT}}
