'''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) and [[mining]] (mining surveys).
Surveys come in several types== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview=='''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).
* '''Mining Surveys''' are linked to the [[Mining]] skill and lead to metals such as Metal Slabs=== In-Game Description ===* '''Crystal Surveys''' are linked to Analyzing the [[Geology]] skill and lead land to Redwall Crystals* '''Mineral Surveys''' are linked locate valuable resources or important locations. Surveying has many uses, but is most commonly used to the [[make resource maps for Geology]] skill and lead to [[gems]] such as Quartz and AgateMining.
Survey 51=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===<!-- A list of methods to learn and level the skill --60 can be learned from >* [[Urzab]] in [[AmulnaJaime 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 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.
===How to start surveying===To obtain : Once you get all three ingredients you can create a map by pushing the 'Survey' button on the surveying skill, you first recipe. The survey map will be placed in your inventory. You will need to become comfortable with [[Jaime Fatholm]] be in the area (ie Serbule or South Serbule. This can be done by completing her 2 initial favors, ) for which require 6 hardboiled eggs and 5 healing potionsyou want to create a survey.
Once she's comfortable with you, she'll give you 8 redwall crystals and teach you the recipe for Serbule Redwall Crystal Survey and South Serbule Redwall Crystal Survey. In the recipe window, you see they require 1 Simple Parchment, 1 Basic Ink and 1 Redwall Crystal. The parchment and ink can be bought from Jaime. Once you get all three ingredients you can create a Survey map by pushing the 'survey' button. The survey map will be placed * [[Urzab]] in your inventory. You [[Amulna]] will need to be in the area (eg South Serbule or Eltibule) for which you want to create a survey. ===Using a Map===Right click a survey in your inventory unlock levels 51-60 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, you click the survey map again, and you will get your crystal or mining reward. At that time you will also level your skill in either geology or mining, depending on the kind of survey. 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===When you finish a survey then finish another survey in a small amount of time, you are rewarded with a speed bonus that gives you a random gem(s) or alchemy ingredient(s). 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. The amount of time you are given for the speed bonus seems to be around 2 minutes (need confirmation).teaches 51+ recipes

=={{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Recipes}} =={{msg:Surveying RecipesBASEPAGENAME}}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).
==Related Skills=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. === 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. {{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Stat Bonuses}} {{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Level Up Rewards}} * [[Geology]]== Trivia ==Players (in raven form or with flight potions) used to be able to use surveys while flying hundreds of feet above the ground! Now, you must be on the ground to actually dig up your reward. == Gallery==* [[Mining]]''' Include a small gallery of players using the skill, or abilities of the skill. Try to keep it under six images. This example Gallery is from the Serbule Page.'''
