Dig Site

English	Deutsch	français	magyar	Türkçe

Dig Sites are used for the Test of the Archeologist from the University of Body.

• They may appear anywhere.
• They appear where a few people have recently been. As a result, they tend to be reported more heavily nearer Chariot Stops and along roads.
• They are found in a large square of sand (regardless of the terrain it's on), with a smaller dig hole in the middle.
• The dig hole appears very tiny at first, then grows until it is as large as a Tar Pit, then shrinks back to dust speck size (before disappearing?). It takes about 2 real hours/6 game hours to get from small to large.

Note: Do not confuse this with Digs which is when you dig for stones and dirt.

If you are carrying an Archaeologist's Shovel, you may attempt to dig up a Relic. Your success depends upon the quality of Archaeologist's Shovel, as well as your Perception and Dexterity stats. When you dig, you will be told whether you are successful or not. Negative Perception will always result in a collapse. Even stats are more likely to succeed than those with big differences (so 20 DEX and 20 PER is substantially more likely to succeed than 50 DEX 20 PER)

If you are successful, the relic will appear on the ground. Note that the relic is VERY small, so you will need to zoom right in to be able to pick it up.

• Use Utility/Make Nearby Portables Look Like Bags to expose the tiny relics
