== {{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]] (crystal mineral surveys) and or [[miningMining]] (mineral mining surveys).

Surveys come === 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. === Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===<!-- A list of methods to learn and level the skill -->* [[Jaime Fatholm]] 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 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 the area (ie Serbule or Serbule Hills) for which you want to create a survey. * [[Urzab]] in several types[[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.* [[Glowing Sphere]] in the [[Yeti Cave]] is willing to teach surveying recipes for [[Kur Mountains]] to travelers willing to help out with a task. ==Connected Skills=='''Sub-Skills:'''* None'''Secondary Skills:'''* None'''Related Skills:'''* [[Geology]]* [[Mining]] ===== Synergy Levels: =====Bonus [[Synergy Levels]] for [[Surveying]] can be obtained from the following skills and levels::; [[Mining]]:: Level 15:; [[Foraging]]:: Level 40:; [[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.

* '''Mining Surveys''' Once you are linked near enough to the [[Mining]] skill location indicated by the red spot (inside the 100x100 meter box around the treasure), you click the survey map again, and lead to metals such as Metal Slabs* '''Crystal Surveys''' are linked to the [[you will get your crystal or mining reward. At that time you will also get XP in either Geology]] skill and lead to Redwall Crystals* '''Mineral Surveys''' are linked to or Mining, depending on the [[Geology]] skill and lead to [[gems]] such as Quartz and Agatekind of survey.

====Using a Map====Right click Getting attacked while trying to use a survey in your inventory and a little red spot will blink on the minimap (cancel it can be difficult and force you to see if it is on a bright areare-click, it seems so try to blend in). An on screen message will also give kill any annoying mobs around you approximate distances, though it is less practicalfirst.

Tip: A lot of common technique for running may be involved checking each location. Unfortunately as of multiple surveys is to sort the maps by the "quadrant" they're in on the alphamap, items and then run through each quadrant! Another helpful technique can not be freely rearranged in to mark the (closest) survey destinations with a Pin (Point of Interest dot) on the inventory so as map; Once you run around are close to the dot you may have to can right click all the surveys continually to find see if you are close enough. (Note be sure to remove the ones closest to where Pin after you arecollected the survey).

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.{|| 1 || Basic Metal Slab, Simple Metal Slab{{STDT}}
