Disassembling Archaeology Artifacts
Artifacts are archaeology skill items often found while excavating from excavation hotspots. You can find these excavation hotspots at dig sites scattered throughout Gielenor. Artifacts are received in their broken state and can’t be disassembled unless you restore them first. Keep in mind that each artifacts require different materials to restore them. You can see all the required materials for an artifact by inspecting it in your inventory.
