We all did, though I held out for it longer than anyone (more to play Devil's Advocate). It's an awesome idea with a ton of potential. The main reasons it was edged out are that...

a) some players think we already have it with Ports/the Arc (those are only thematically associated, not mechanically)

b) some think of it more as a joke (which is why, in our opinion, we would need to showcase it first to show its potential and see it's not a joke)

c) as some implementations of parts of the concept might be seen by some as a minigame (but then Dungeoneering has that label yet is consistently many players' favourite skill)

Archaeology scored less well as a concept (because people cannot help but envision their own ideas), but scores much more highly now that we've delivered our vision of it as a skill. We could easily achieve the same with sailing (be it in the form of a skill or some other type of content).

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.

Batch was a fair term to use for how Invention was released, and how things like Prifddinas and the Arc were handled, but Archaeology is not a batched release. Orthen was never a 'batch 2'/something missing from the initial release, but rather just additional content we've talked about adding later (as it is dependent on something else happening first). Just wanted to be clear about that.

That said, if players want to see more content released for Archaeology, such as additional dig sites, a new training method, a D&D, more relics, etc, the best thing to do is make it clearly heard that's what you'd like to see.

Make posts about where you would like to see new dig sites, that give your ideas for new relic powers, etc. I, for one, would love to see all of this new content added to Archaeology, an Orthen dig site included, and I hope you all agree. :)

This is just RNG.

It works based on weightings (regardless of how many different artefacts a spot contains), and we track the last three artefacts received. If you were to three of A in a row, your weightings for A/B/C would be 1/10/10, so still have a 1/21 chance to receive A again. It happens.

We have discussed increasing the prior artefact tracking from three to five, which should help some more.

One of each flavour AND they need to have been checked (unchecked won't be accepted) - but you can do that by just clicking on them.

I see you've already figured it out, but yeah, talk her her specifically about the Into the Forge mystery and she'll return any lost keys (and clicking on the north forge door starts the mystery so you can ask her about this).

If you only go to check at the point you need them, it won't take you more than a few minutes to find the one you are short.

It is intentional this artefact is on both collections. Bandos is both goblin and non-goblin related, and this plays into the disagreeable relationship between Bentnoze and Wartface. They both still follow Bandos, however - the one core thing they likely have in common.

I think you're reading more into this than there is. There is no knowing wink here. The "I wonder..." is suggestive that your avatar has some notion of what it supposed to go here, and given how readily this part has been progressed past, I'd say that is accurate. Not everything is innuendo.

This is due to you only having one (lore-only) mystery to discuss with her and the dialogue is looping. We have a fix for this ready to QA. In the meantime, just click out (walk away) - you aren't missing any dialogue/content by doing so.

The correct chants for candles are only a visible option once you have discovered what they are.

Does it do this for ores from Mining (to metal bank)? If Ninja pick this up, it should be neither or both.

Puns aren't supposed to be funny - that's the point...but we don't solely rely on puns for humour. There's plenty of jokes that aren't puns in Arch and the rest of the game. :)

Thanks.

They are automatically transcribed at the point you receive them. You don't need to destroy them to add them to your journal. :)

It's because the item requirements are derived from the meanings of the gargoyles' names, which makes sense: your job is to remind the gargoyles of their names, after all.

To give a few examples, Cagnazzo's name means "Nasty Dog", so he requires a dog pet; Libicocco's name means "Libyan Hothead", so he requires you to use the "Angry" emote; and Farfarello means "Goblin" so you need to transform to a goblin.

Alichino's name is a garbled version of "Arlecchino", which means "Harlequin": presumably Harlequin cow was chosen as the item requirement because it's the only item in-game with the word "harlequin" in it.

ny people did try asking this on the stream, however the question was no

This is it precisely. If there were other harlequin items in game, they could be substitutes. The best idea floating around so far is to also accept one each of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla cows - they are a little easier to come by. (Or cheaper, for non-ironmen, though the shiny price will drop back down to a reasonable amount.)

But other suggestions would be welcome for when we do talk about this, so keep posting your ideas.

The artefact you receive is randomly chosen from all artefacts from a spot, but there is mitigation based on the previous three discoveries. You'll get it eventually, and this sort of issue should not crop up too often for players.

Comment

So, it's safe to say there's more to it than people are thinking so far. This is not a bug... :)

This is definitely an issue that was resolved during dev multiple times. One of the bookcases in the exam centre should start this quest. They are high up on the south and east walls of the exam centre. Though it appears this has somehow maybe become an issue again last minute, I'll take a closer look today.
