Players can enter the Kharid-et praetorium without a Ring of Visibility.

The original intention when designing the skill was for the core excavation spots (those with artefacts) to be mostly locked behind just Archaeology requirements. The ring of visibility requirement was a slight oversight.

We were happy to place outside requirements on material caches and mysteries, and we plan for future additions to the skill to also include outside requirements.

Ah, that's my bad. Thanks for letting us know!

Perhaps destroying it could give a refund? Or talking to the shop owner Ezreal in the guild? or maybe some other npc could give you chronotes for it as a little joke :)

No promises, as it is something we are yet to discuss, but for the time being, just make sure your friend keeps hold of it.

I've seen a lot message about the inquisitor staff pieces drop rates and such. It's something we're discussing with the team.

We will continue listening to feedback and make changes to archaeology, in a similar fashion we've done the past three weeks.

Looks like they removed the XP tomb from Lootscape.

Yep, the community pointed out that it shouldn't be allowed due to the amnesty period and as a result we've removed it.

No mention of Airut Bot in the 200m list?

I've ammended the Newspost, there has been a slight hiccup somewhere.

Theoratically it should, however the increase in performance is relatively hard to measure without it running in the live environment.

One would assume this is what it’ll do, especially as everyone will hit the give XP script
