Since Archaeology's release on the 30th of March various changes (as result of your feedback) have already been made. Here is an overview of them!
Overview of the Changes made since Archaeology's release:
- Inspecting a damaged or restored artefact and filling or inspecting a soil box will no longer interrupt your current action, allowing you to continue excavating uninterrupted.
- Players may now use either a Harlequin cow, or one each of a Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate cow during the relevant Archaeology mystery.
- A tick has been added to Artefact information to show if you have previously completed any associated collections.
- The chance of receiving an artefact from research has been increased.
- Dr Nabanik's 'Third-age Expert' researcher perk has been modified to guarantee an artefact after researching 2 hours or more, down from 8 hours or more.
- We have adjusted the text associated with the consumable items found in the Archaeology Guild shop so that both their Item and Buff Bar descriptions are consistent.
- The Dwarven Instinct aura will now spawn magical chests after you've earned XP in Archaeology.
- An Armadylean yellow material cache at Stormguard Citadel has been moved slightly to make it more accessible.
- Corrected a typo where the collector Isaura was mispronouncing her own name. We've all been there, Isaura.
- A vanilla, Chocolate & strawberry cow can now be used for the Capricorn portion of the Contract Claws mystery.
- The Slayer and Boss Collection logs will now open correctly when accessed via the Slayer counter.
- Fixed a texture Z-fighting issue on Stormguard Citadel.
- Fixed an issue with some missing geometry in Stormguard Citadel.
- Fixed an issue where some research was not being unlocked.
- Fixed an issue where Player Owned Ports voyages were being set to a negative duration while claiming research rewards.
- Fixed an issue where the Player Owned Farm trapper farmhand was not returning.
- Fixed an issue that allowed players to gain a pulse core level boost in Archaeology from the Desert Pantheon aura. This has now been locked behind the skill amnesty period.
- Fixed an issue that allowed the waterfiend familiar to be summoned for a longer duration than intended.
- Summoning pets will no longer run away if they are following you when you log out.
- Fixed an issue that prevented some players from completing the Contact Claws mystery if they had already completed the Dagon Bye mystery. Players will now be better informed about their Contract Claws mystery progress when speaking to Movario.
- Complete tomes can no longer be stored in the Bank.
- Running out of skillchompas as you reach max focus when excavating will no longer crash the player.
- Fixed an issue where additional Twitch loot crates were unintentionally awarded.
- It is once again possible to obtain the Booboo doll needed to complete The Lost Toys miniquest.
- A bookshelf on the Archaeology Guild Campus that was used to start the Elemental Workshop II quest had been lost during renovations. This has been replaced, so it is now possible to start the quest.
- Chests in the Infernal Source cellar can no longer be looted with a full inventory.
- Fixed an issue where players couldn't fletch Bakriminal bolts if they already had some in their inventory.
- Using the Font of Life from your inventory will now correctly progress the Archaeology tutorial.
Hotfixes since Monday's game-update: * Adjusted the drop rate of Imcando mattock pieces, making it increasingly more common with a higher Archaeology level. * Guildmaster Tony's mattock has been adjusted to a precision value of 85 (down from 90).The tool tip interface will continue to state 90 until the next game update.
