Digging crystals out of the ground, and knowing what they do.

ProjectGorgon:Geology Overview

Geology allows the collection of gems which are used for crafting and the teleportation skill. In order to raise this skill a player must first obtain the associated Surveying skill from Jaime Fatholm, and use a Mineral Survey.

• Mineral Surveys are named for both a region and color of gemstone. A Eltibule Orange Mineral Survey must be used in Eltibule and will only reward standard gems tagged with [[ProjectGorgon::Category:Items/OrangeCrystal|:Category:Items/OrangeCrystal]]. Some gems are less common than others, for example Obsidians are not as common when making Blue Mineral Surveys.
• Speed bonus gems can be obtained if you collect another gem deposit shortly after collecting a previous gem deposit. Speed bonus loot table is based on the location and include some of the rarest gems in game.
• Gems are used in various crafting recipes to create Enchanted equipment. They are placed into the Primary Crystal and Secondary Crystal slots as a method to determine what skills equipment will have when crafted.
• Many NPCs like minerals as favor. Some will prefer specific gems, some will like colors categories, and a few will accept any of them.
• Blue Mineral Surveys leading to Amethysts and Green Mineral Surveys leading to Aquamarines are quite popular due to their use in Teleportation.

Geology Mechanics

Types of Minerals and Common Terminology

The Geology skill aids in the collection of multiple types of mineral items. Every Gem is a Crystal but not every Crystal is a Gem.

• 

   

  Agate
  is both a Gem and a Crystal.
• 

   

  Rubywall Crystal
  is a Crystal but not a Gem.
• 

   

  Glowy Yellow Crystal
  is an Irradiated Crystal. Although these are a type of Crystal, they sometimes require Mining or Foraging to gather. This type can sometimes be hazardous to carry.
• 

   

  Cow Malachite
  is an Attuned Gem crafted through a Sigil Scripting recipe.
• 

   

  Maximized Sardonyx
  is a Catalyst Gem crafted through Geology.
• 

   

  Sapphire
  is an "Ilmari Gem," a name given to a group of ten gems added at the same time as the Ilmari zone. Ilmari Gems are often obtained as a Speed Bonus through Surveying.

Collecting gems and crystals is often accomplished through the use of Mineral Surveys crafted through Surveying. Once crafted, a specific level of Geology is required to understand each map. Surveying/Geology Survey Maps

Speed Bonus

If you collect another survey shortly after collecting a previous survey, then you can obtain a speed bonus. While most can be obtained at any location, the amount varies based on the survey location and some gems are more likely to be found at a given location as shown in table below.

Location	Time Required	Number of Gems	Types of Gems
Serbule Hills	1.5 - 3 min	1	Blue and green gems Piece of Green Glass Very low chance of Ilmari gems
Eltibule	1.5 - 3 min	1-2	Higher chance for blue and green gems Lower chance for orange and white gems including   Winterprize Rarely Ilmari gems
Kur Mountains	2.5 - 4.5 min	1-3	Higher chance for orange and white gems including   Winterprize Lower chance for blue and green gems Rarely Ilmari gems

Tip

• Try to do as many survey maps per batch as your inventory allows to maximize the amount of speed bonuses you get.
