Archaeology

In Legends of Kornoth, Archaeology plays a massive role in both the gameplay and the story that unfolds as adventurers traverse the expansive continent of Eramor. Many different races have several different artifacts of different types. Because of this, players could find Underwater Aquarin artifacts, or Skybound Vezeti artifacts!

Features
Archaeology has many features to keep players engaged.
 * Artifact Quests: Each artifact that you receive has a chance to be tied to a quest to discover the history behind it or to return it to someone who's still alive. This allows players to learn more about the story of Kornoth and its people. They'll get some neat rewards as a result, too!
 * Kornoth Conspectus: The Kornoth Conspectus is a book that you receive from The Excavation Crew. You can record all of the data you have on the artifacts of Kornoth here, and you'll be rewarded for hitting milestones within the Conspectus.
 * The Excavation Crew: This faction is a sub-reputation that branches off of the Adventurer's Guild. They're in charge of archaeology, and will provide you with the Kornoth Conspectus, as well as upgrades to your archaeology skill to allow you to find new artifacts!
 * Artifact Hot Spots: Every two hours, new artifact hot spots pop up. Artifacts can be found anywhere at any time, but these hot spots are much more likely to have more artifacts, and thus, have a higher chance of rewarding rarer artifacts.
 * Direct Artifact Rewards: There are the five things that carry the Archaeology system through direct artifact rewards in this game. You can obtain pets, unique cosmetic pieces, gear that helps you throughout leveling, a currency to use in the Adventurer's Guild, as well as a backstory that's put in front of you.
 * Milestone Rewards: Milestone rewards keep players going and trying to collect all of the artifacts strewn about Kornoth! Some rewards could be on-par with raid gear and the currency used in the Adventurer's Guild, while the final milestone reward for collecting every single artifact is a neat mount!
 * The Story: The backstory behind artifacts are written down in the Conspectus, but every important artifact has a questline. The questing system in this game forces the player to understand the story and get involved in it, thus making the artifacts with quests important, teaching players about the history of Kornoth.
