'''Surveying''' is a skill that produces surveys that lead to gems and minerals. Creating surveys increases the Surveying skill, while using the surveys increases [[Geology]] (mineral surveys) or [[Mining]] (mining surveys).

* [[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 '''South 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 South SerbuleHills) for which you want to create a survey.

* [[Glowing Sphere]] in the [[Yeti Cave]] is willing to teach surveying recipes for [[Kur Mountains]] to travelers willing to help out with a task. == Related Connected Skills =='''Sub-Skills:'''* None'''Secondary Skills:'''* None'''Related Skills:'''

{{:{{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 === List 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/Maps , 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
