RE: Archaeology Guide - Jerome - 2020-04-21
This is an excellent guide. I want to explore this skill on my own but through it I gained understanding that completing collections is a nice goal to build towards. Thanks a bunch. Will definitely refer to it when I'm stuck hehe.
Edit: WHOA did not realize there's so much more to this skill with those other things you've posted.

RE: Archaeology Guide - Aurorae Auri - 2021-08-17
Guide is now fully up to date, I decided to separate the new digsite from the prior section of guide to make it easier to gather just what's needed from it specifically. There is one collection that requires items from Kharid-Et also but I instead added those items into the previous section under the new collection "Imperial Sorcery." I hope it continues to help you all!
The total number of collections is now 77 (if my count is correct).
