Don gatekeeping lmao. If you use the dog, you will spend more energy but you won't get double minigame stacks. So do not use the sniffer guys... Unless you don't have time
Wait what... It goes backwards in the minigame after it hits the right side? Shit, i've failed so many times when the first one spawns right by the start lol.
golden tip and i love the way you talk calmy and not rushing through the topic you talking about. My mothertongue is not english but i understood every single word. thanks and subbed!
I been excavating for like 2 weeks now since I saw this video come out. Been very good money. I did the craftable Feiton map for first time to help maybe get some t2 mats but it was a huge waste tbh. I could have made 750gold on the AH if I just sold everything, which could be used to buy me like 15+ Moons Breath on my server. Where as all I got from my Treasure Maps were far less relics/ancient than I used to create the map to begin with. Just pointing out that the maps are not always a profit, would have been a nice disclaimer as I'm just a few upgrades from t3 and could have used the gold on moons breaths instead.
I am glad I somewhat kept up my excavating level just because I wanted the distribution to be somewhat even - this is incredible! I severy underrated excavating! Thank you very much for this guide!
Great video, new to Lost Ark and the components are so overwhelming to figure out. Now T1 but ignored relic hunting so this was great motivation to start before I get to lost in the overwhelming newb mistakes that I think can be costly game play if you are on limited time like me.
Hello thank u for the video, I don't speak english good but I think I understood the major part of ur video. I've never paid much attention to this profession in the game but now I'm going to get into it. Thank you.
One thing I discovered if you're just starting to level excavating, is you go to Tooki Island. Once everybody has left, you have the entire island to yourself, with about 7 nodes spread across the island that regenerate pretty quick. So bring some Leap's essence for double XP and loads of energy pots for a long session of levelling. Burned though about 25 pots and used about 10 essences from hoarding and buying in Mari's. But after all that, I went from 20-30 in 45 minutes, cause the island will eventually kick you out. Although you'll also get an achievement for overstaying. Only caveat is you'll be at the mercy of going crazy from hearing those annoying Tookies over and over. Hope this helps!
I watched video when i was at t1....now at t3 i just unterstood more what you said and i m starting to working thought those maps...its a bit late but its never too late Thanks for video!
If my character is doing T3 content, but i havent leveled up this life skill at all, is it possible to do it in the T3 areas and use T3 treasure maps? or do i need to start at a lower tier continent like the other life skills?
Another step towards becoming the richest free to play oil prince on EU! Second positive for excavation is the fact, that you are digging holes, makes burrying bodies easier.
Thanks for the information Don. I have a question though, do you need lvl 30 Excavating to unlock the Treasure Map recipes in your Stronghold? I only have the recipes for Treasure Map Chests but my Excavating is not yet lvl 30.
I focused on foraging first, I got it to level 25 going for 30 so I can farm the purple mats on Punika. On NA west the price of white flowers hit 120 gold today, as I think people have finally run out of free health pots.
Incredible video, super straight to the point, really helpful! I wasn't exactly sure where to spend my lifeskill so that's a really good pointer! I was wondering though, are those map solo only or can you do them with other people to get even more ressources?
Thanks, subscribed! very useful content. Please tell me, is there any way to restore/save work energy other than waiting or buying in Mari's shop? cuz excavating takes like 400/dig so I can barely do several a day
Nice Tip and Video! this maps are only available to this type of life skill? Because i can see in the stronghold that we have different creatable maps!
Very good video talking about hidden features no one else is talking about! Can you tell us anything about increasing the speed of stronghold level upgrades? I hear mention something about structures giving boosts but there are no english sites that have that info.
You can buy the recipe from one of your traders =) you got a tool chest for daily login (3 epic tools) and you get 6 epic chests for 18 or so world tree leaves ( but on my server those epic toolboxes are like 9gold each so no big deal.
Do I have to be in their 3 to get the Solar grace drop from the chests or can I still get the drop from doing like Feiton ones on my toon thats really close to t3^^
Hey bro, great vid as usual. I came across from PoE, seem to be at a similar spot as you - slogging through tier 3, 6 alts at 1k. I went with herbalism, the money is just too disgusting not to. You hit nodes with leaps essence active and get 40-50 blue flowers in a go sometimes lol. I'll try this out, the solar's should help. Are you selling your BoE upgrade materials from your alts?
I had heard this type of investment could be insanely profitable, but also a massive gamble. Seems to be true, either this was nerfed heavily after you posted it, or i have terrible luck. Im not getting results anywhere near what you claim to get, but im only 20-30 maps deep. Still took alot of time to get this far, i hope it becomes worth it later on...
I had the same experience as you did. My RNG was terrible and not worth the time, effort and gold that I put into it. People keep saying that this is the way but it is a gamble at best.
I started focusing most my life points on excavation early on since A) i love hot and cold games and B) it looked like i needed to in order to find materials to craft my own higher end gathering tools for EVERY life skill, anyway. This is just another reason I'm glad I did as I approach level 20 with a big load of vitality potions :eyes:
Hi, just wanted to share my experience with this. Have made 10+ maps and have made a loss with this method at tier 2, so probably only worth it at tier 3 and with high excavating talent.
hey mate.how are you.i wonder if i should expand my bags and card slots for more space or not needed.becuase it needs gems for opening them.and you are awesome btw.keep up the good work.
just wondering if its just better to excavate at golden wave island only? instead of going to the T2/T3 continents? or do they give greater loots/rare loots?
is it better to excavate at felton or yorn or does it not matter? (for example does felton give more since its a higher continent? I know u said the maps are better but how about actually excavating at the continents is it the same?
Hey, I did what you said and crafted/got from archeology feiton maps and when i run them I dont get moonsbreaths but only relics? Am i doing something wrong?
Hi, nice video man. But I have 1 question , from which lvl of excavating it becomes interesting? I m tier 2 and lvl 20 excavating and it's not useful for me I only got a little number of moons breath and it takes me lot of work energy (180 energy per excavation) and the moon 's breath are not tradable.
1 Breath increases chance of 1,5% from 13 to 14 but only increases by 1% from 14 to 15. So decide wisely, maybe buy the upgrade material that gives you 10% increased chance.
Hey, I just made 6 of these maps, and didn't get a single upgrade mat. Did I do something wrong? Secret Garden T3 - Punika maps made from the stronghold.
excavating has the most work. finding, then digging. knowing its just in fixed spots makes it way easier though. like i have the herbalism spots memorized on lulliby island so this should be basically the same

With the relic taking 20 sec to disappear and the stack buff being 40sec it is safe to assume you can't quit the mini game twice ?

If you use the dog, you will spend more energy but you won't get double minigame stacks.
So do not use the sniffer guys... Unless you don't have time
@@luckydony6375 you can quit twice, but just barely

we need more chill guides like this one , great job
Man, these guides are on another level.
I like your channel because you are just chill and say what’s up, no extra CZcams crap or padding just info
thanks! and thanks for commenting for the algo
Instant sub, great video my guy.
Excellent video! I been looking for info on treasure chests. I knew they would be valuable and worth doing.
Nice video Don, glad to see the good content you are putting out. It really helped, with all the information i needed. Thanks a bunch :)
You probably saved me a few days, thank you man. I have so many maps queued up for t2 mats ahaha.
Thanks don, answered all my questions in the video!

This was perfect thank you
Very informative video with great explanation! Thank you so much, I'm off to do some excavating! ;)
really good vid!
great guide thanks
Really nice guide, thanks for sharing. This has to be my lowest leveled skill sadly.
Ty for the guides

Thanks for video!
Dude you are best content in CZcams
Thanks for the video bro
ty for great video
Hi! Thanks for the video!
Is that worth to just walk around spoting the relics but only picking up the old relics (or the chests)?
Holy, I knew that every life skill had its merits and is important in the end game but damn, important is an understatement.
Awesome stuff, stoked when creators delete comments that are not what they want to hear. Keep up the stellar work!
Thanks bro, i was looking for informations about excavating but it's so hard to find
If my character is doing T3 content, but i havent leveled up this life skill at all, is it possible to do it in the T3 areas and use T3 treasure maps? or do i need to start at a lower tier continent like the other life skills?
Huh, excavation was the last thing I planned to level. Good to know it should be my 1st or second (next to foraging)
Same
Why do you want to focus on foraging?
@@jkvb.j6383 You dont want potions lol?
@@UncleGeorge20 I do, but I can't find any good spot to farm these materials, could you recommend something?

Yea, excavating is extremely fun for mii too, so I'm having fun and working towards making money. Win-win :x

Thanks, subscribed! very useful content.
Please tell me, is there any way to restore/save work energy other than waiting or buying in Mari's shop? cuz excavating takes like 400/dig so I can barely do several a day
Is there any use for the grey/white relics? Or should I just be converting them to green/blue/purple relics in my stronghold as I move into T3?
Nice Tip and Video! this maps are only available to this type of life skill? Because i can see in the stronghold that we have different creatable maps!
Awesome guide that helps a lot. My only problem is when i finish crafting the map I dont know where to find it.
Very good video talking about hidden features no one else is talking about! Can you tell us anything about increasing the speed of stronghold level upgrades? I hear mention something about structures giving boosts but there are no english sites that have that info.
Will do! Actually might be the next video...
This video is massive; i havent seen anyone mention this :D Question; how did you make the purple tools ?
You can buy the recipe from one of your traders =) you got a tool chest for daily login (3 epic tools) and you get 6 epic chests for 18 or so world tree leaves ( but on my server those epic toolboxes are like 9gold each so no big deal.
only question i have is, how do you get the better tools ? is it in crafting part of the hideout too ?
I've hit a wall right before T2 now and I'm out of island quests and stuff to do. Do I just farm chaos dungeon? Seems very slow.
God this game has so much content to it, I fucking love it!
Me too, brother. Me too.
Hey, where can i buy those life energy potions? Since they are all non tradeable, its only for diamonds or is there some other merchant for those? :)
Do I have to be in their 3 to get the Solar grace drop from the chests or can I still get the drop from doing like Feiton ones on my toon thats really close to t3^^
Now we all have to fight for excavation spots. Great!

What stronghold level do you need in order to make those maps?
Yo Can we change basic effects on our expert tool or need too craft a new one?

Hi, just wanted to share my experience with this. Have made 10+ maps and have made a loss with this method at tier 2, so probably only worth it at tier 3 and with high excavating talent.
Excavating level 30 sniffer dog is the key
Even though I'm t3 my archeology is still lvl 1, should I start building it in the lower tier areas or just go to punika?
hey mate.how are you.i wonder if i should expand my bags and card slots for more space or not needed.becuase it needs gems for opening them.and you are awesome btw.keep up the good work.
i did, i plan to play a long time
where do you buy life energy potions?
just wondering if its just better to excavate at golden wave island only? instead of going to the T2/T3 continents? or do they give greater loots/rare loots?
Can you do a video explaining what each of the possible traits on a tool actually does
is it better to excavate at felton or yorn or does it not matter? (for example does felton give more since its a higher continent? I know u said the maps are better but how about actually excavating at the continents is it the same?
feiton is better i think
Does your excavating need to be at a certain lvl to farm at Punika?
Is there much use to fishing later in game?
Hey, I did what you said and crafted/got from archeology feiton maps and when i run them I dont get moonsbreaths but only relics? Am i doing something wrong?
Funny thing im currently researching my first treasure map in stronghold.
and then i find this video about treasure maps. coincidence? i think not xD
Is it true the treasure map loot can also give the tool box needed to make the highest level tools?
o heck yeah ty
Hi, nice video man. But I have 1 question , from which lvl of excavating it becomes interesting? I m tier 2 and lvl 20 excavating and it's not useful for me I only got a little number of moons breath and it takes me lot of work energy (180 energy per excavation) and the moon 's breath are not tradable.
moons help you get to t3 faster -> large value
When do you recommend using the starbreaths etc? Only from 14 -> 15 or also 13 ->14?
1 Breath increases chance of 1,5% from 13 to 14 but only increases by 1% from 14 to 15. So decide wisely, maybe buy the upgrade material that gives you 10% increased chance.
Thanks for the video. How do you get Tool Crafting Kits?
