A lot of players of RuneScape will be delighted with the announcement that a new skill is scheduled to be added to the game. What was thought to be one of the most secretive secrets in players, a new skill was revealed to be expected to arrive in early 2020. The new skill will be called RuneScape Archaeology, and it will offer a range of new possibilities for players.

There are five dig sites, and each of the dig sites is home to excavation hotspots, research, mysteries, rewards, and artifacts that are unique to that particular dig site. They vary in difficulty from the point where of a dig site to level 118/119. For example, Kharid-et, situated in the Al-Kharid desert which is the primary dig location, has been unlocked at level 5. The first plot is the Venator is still at level 5, and the highest excavation plot would be War table at level 118. So, you'll be hopping around the 5 dig sites through your leveling of Archaeology.

Useful Items

Let's discuss some important items to help optimize those gains.

The waterfiend has a 5% chance to double the gain from material and artifacts gain. If you're not able to buy the item, then you could start making them at the level 68 archaeology.

I would be at the Warforge at The Crucible Stands Debris for the artifacts needed then head towards Stormguard and the Tailory Debris to find artifacts needed for the collection log. Then, end with the Pontifex Remains which you'll need your signet ring for. All three of these locations are at the level of 81. The reason I would do this is because of the cost of items needed to repair artifacts. Also, camping at Kharid-et dig site is more beneficial since you get batteries, which means you earn extra XP. And also, with the Pylons in operation, you'll earn extra XP from that.

Levels 83-84: Goblin Dorm Remains (Warforge)

Levels 98 and 99: Byzroth Remains (Infernal Source)

Return to Stormguard Citadel or the Infernal Source. When you've completed one of your collections, switch to the other one. It is suggested to complete the Infernal Source first to ensure that you are able to spend more time in Stormguard to build many more pages of blueprint.

If you don't have plenty of RuneScape gold to play the skill, I suggest beginning at level 93 and camping in the Armarium Debris in Kharid-et. It's a low cost material and the amount of batteries you get really add up. For instance I had 900 battery, which equated to about 380,000 XP in storage, which sufficed to get me towards level 99. As you progress, at level 94, 95, at levels 97 and 98, return to those other dig sites for collections . However, return to Kharid-et after you have completed the collection and continue to work there. The XP cost difference between repairing and repairing is not significant and much cheaper at Kharid-et.
