Calendar Information

Event Story
Event Directions and Description
- Have an Archaeologist's Shovel in your inventory. The Endurance timer is affected by the quality of the Archeologist Shovel. (9.5k almost always x6, 8k x5 & x6, 7k x4 & x5, 4k x3 the normal speed of digging). High End food is suggested or at least Grilled Onions for a +2 End boost.
- A quality 4020 Archeologist's Shovel can be made by loading 8 metal on the anvil and immediately completing it or try to make a higher quality shovel.
- Once the event begins, click yourself/Special/Archeologist and pin the Survey Area menu. The result of the survey will be in Main chat. There is a slight Endurance timer on surveying. It surveys ~5 coord radius.
- When the message in Main says "You uncover a piece of the Ancient Monument of Whatever at #x the normal speed!", a shadow appears with a small piece of the monument sticking out of the ground. Call your fellow Egyptians to come help dig It out.
- To help dig you click the little piece to get the "This is an Ancient Monument of Whatever" window to pin (if you cannot find the little piece of monument in the center of the shadow then click Survey Area until you can). You then click on "Gently dig around the Ancient Monument of Whatever". There is an Endurance timer.
- The monument slowly rises out of the ground, the more digging, the quicker it is completely dug up.
- The monument is completely dug up when you hear the music and have the ability to read the challenge.

Previous Tales Monument Locations
In T4 the people of Egypt elected to have 7 new skills and technologies researched and implemented by the next generation's scientists with the warning that all monuments would be considered false and give no new tests in the next generation. Wahim and Sami were two sons of the deceased Pharaoh who put forth a vote for their ascension to the throne with those two contingencies.
