== {{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). === 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.

== {{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. 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're in and what type of survey you're doing (mineral or mining). 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.
====Mineral Speed Bonuses====
For mineral (gem) maps, the speed bonus is determined by location
