Archaeological Digs

Refinements for Consideration :writing_hand:

@sheralmyst gets one set of options. @Crimsontine gets another. More research is needed.

From @Crimsontine: Here’s the options available to me…

:arrow_up: Compare the 2 images carefully :arrow_down:

Correction…

@sheralmyst, you may have to edit your opening post, as more options are found.

Consider…

  • Historical Document
  • Fossil Sample
  • Biological Sample

Reference…

Correction…

@DevilinPixy, you may have to edit your Google Doc as more options are found.

Perhaps also… Add more asterisks as more options are found…

Consider…

  • Historical Document ꙳
  • Fossil Sample ꙳
  • Biological Sample ꙳

꙳ Can ‘ALSO’ be exchanged at an Artifact Exchange Vault

Questions…

  1. Can we verify what other options are available?

  2. Are ‘ALL’ such only for items available at ruins?

Good to know that the options made available are apparently a random pick of 3 from a larger pool to choose from.

Would be interesting to know which ones are possible. I have not yet had the time to dive into the source. So if everyone can keep an eye out for any new categories shown at the Celestial Archives, it would be appreciated.

I edited my last post and Google doc to reflect these new finds.

Yes. I have been looking at this. Trying to determine if the difference is according to the planets inhabitants. Also, archives are not always difficult to find.
No time right now to make the changes. Maybe later today.
However, I just realized that the Exchange found in the lower hallway of one Archive offered a different set of options than the Exchange on the main platform…so not related to the inhabitants.

Request for Clarification

In other words…

  • Exchange in the lower hallway of one Archive
  • Exchange on the main platform

Are you talking about…

  • Two ‘Exchange Vaults’ in the same building?
  • Or 2 different buildings in the same system?

This planet has two (at least) GEK Archives.

Archive 1.
Floor leading to the archive.

Ground under a launchpad.


Archive 2.
Floor leading to the archive.

Ground under a launchpad.

Both floors show the same options.

UPPER FLOOR:

LOWER FLOOR:

Sorry, had a weird visual glitch. :see_no_evil:

I have updated the Atlas-65 Archaeological Society tab on the Google Sheet once more by including a column for ‘Rarity’, which determines the full row colour for any found item accordingly. I did keep the colours light to maintain readability.

I have for now kept the ‘Metal Detector Enthusiasts’ tab unchanged, as ‘Valuable Rock Samples’ and ‘Recovered Items’ have thus far only shown as ‘Common’ (blue). If we find different ‘rarities’ I will make changes accordingly.

I am curious about something else, considering the Artifact Exchange Vault can give a new artifact in return. Would that not allow a player to endlessly exchange, or is this restricted somehow? How does this work?

I really have to get back into the game, I am falling behind …

Interesting. I had 3 exchanges at the last Archive I visited and one of the lower levels accepted a diffferent set from the other 2…needs more investigation.

I have attempted multiple exchanges but I think something changed with an 3xp patch. There now seems to be only 1 exchange allowed per vault. Perhaps there is a timer? Not sure…have not been able to play for a couple days.

Good trade! Thought I’d see if I could do better and run it through again.

Nope. No good.

Now to try it downstairs.

Yay. It worked!

But I lost money.

YMMV.
