Test Description

You sign up for the Test of the Archaeologist and learn how to craft Archaeologist's Shovel (also requires the Blacksmithing skill), build a Trophy Case, and excavate sites. You are also given a list of relics to search for. Trading relics with fellow Archaeologists is encouraged.

Additional Information

The Test of the Archaeologist is a test available in the discipline of Natural Philosophy. Requires Blacksmithing 1 to start.


  • Hunt for Archaeological Dig Sites on the roads of Egypt.
  • Extract Relics from them using an Archaeologist's Shovel.
    • If you are successful at getting a relic you have to pick it up from the ground. Some are tiny and hard to see.
    • Use Utility/Make Nearby Portables Look Like Bags to expose the tiny relics
  • When you start the test, you will be given a list of your 14 ideal Relics.
  • Your goal is to find relics that match as many attributes as possible on your list.
  • You gain Talent Points from having a higher score than others (see below for details).

Scoring

  • When you install a relic in your Trophy Case, you will receive 1 point, with a 7x multiplier if you found it yourself.
  • Each attribute on the relic that matches your ideal list will add a multiplier to the score for that relic.
  • The multiplier for each attribute appears to be equal to the number of possibilities for that attribute minus 1, with the exception of color (which maxes out at 7).
    • Color: 7x
    • Size: 4x
    • Sturdyness: 2x
    • Weight: 3x
    • Age: 3x
    • Purpose: 4x
  • The score of any relic is:
Collected By * Color * Size * Sturdyness * Weight * Age * Purpose
  • You may not install more than one of a particular type of relic in the case.
  • You may, however, remove installed relics, if you find a better match.
  • Although you do not get the 7x multiplier if you install a relic you did not find yourself, often it may still be better to do so if you can match more attributes.

Passing the Test

  • Requires 7 relics in your Trophy Case to complete.
  • The top three Archaeologist scores each week pass.

Talent Points Awarded

  • Build a Trophy Case - 1 Talent Point ?
  • Successfully Extract a Relic - 2 Talent Point ?
  • Install Three Relics in your Trophy Case - 1 Talent Point ?
  • Pass Test - 3 Talent Point ?
