I'm on the cusp of getting 99 in all skills and unlocking the max guild. But depending on when in January Jagex release archaeology, i may or may not max before it comes out.

So....

1 - Is there an exact release date of the skill or is it just some time in January?
2 - If I max all my other skills after the release, can i still take advantage of the Grace period?

3 - Does anyone know how long the grace period is?

No exact date yet. Arch release is to be after January; a new date is yet to be confirmed.

You need all skills maxed (99) to enter the Max Guild tower, Archaeology included after its release

Any grace periods are for comp, not max - e.g. Farming 120 and Herblore 120 (both of which are stated in-game currently, but *might* be extended when Arch releases), and *possibly* a grace for 120 Arch (though I am unsure on this point).
