Your videos are great. Keep going and I'm sure you will hit thousands of subs and views in no time. Good luck and most of all... Thank you for your work :)
This is beyond a shadow of a doubt the best tutorial for master antiquities. I haven't been able to get any from other tutorials. I did 3 digs and got my first ring of pale order. Thank you so much!
But trowel is useful for later level excavations, cause if you connect fissure points and hit that with a 2 barred trowel you make a big holes that often reveal the extra loot, which easily leads to thousands of extra coins and rare materials
@@ExplorationGamingESO you need to dig up the antiquity first, have the trowel also able to dig up fissure points without damaging and it works great. Very useful for ones trying to make zone exclusive equipment as those digsites have a lot of the materials required for it
@@ExplorationGamingESO No, the fissures can only damage the antiquity if the path goes UNDER the case, which will never happen if the antiquity is revealed. Not only can you get decent runes and style materials, zone sets can drop as well. Now, it is much harder to get all 3 bonus drops on gold, to the point it may not be worth even trying, but it is easy on any lessor one.
I'm fully maxed in antiquities and it never occurred to me to use the heavy shovel after only two clicks instead of four. Using it at full strength always breaks master antiquities. Thanks for the tip! I disagree that going for the bonus items is a waste of time though. Have you tried using the smoking spots to explode a large part of the board at once? That will usually give you at least two in one shot. Thanks for the great video. I think it will help people.
I just got started on the antiquities part of Greymoor but I’m coming along quite nicely, found 4 simple (green) antiquities today which they’re pretty decent gold I can’t wait until I reach level 10 in antiquities skills thanks for the tips
Bonus loot is not random. It's always "somewhat" nearby, so you just plow in the direction you can make the most headway in based on the obstacles and remaining levels around the artifact. It's very easy to find 2 or even 3 things in a gold. Well worth the time for items which sell to vendor for 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, even higher sometimes.
@@ExplorationGamingESO I have a system where I just do it along the way, by "almost" fully uncovering the artifact first using shovel as much as I can, while charging up the shovel clicks with W in the areas around it so that after I uncover the artifact I can finish those off with shovel as well. Sometimes the placement isn't optimal and I have to switch to using "A" to directly unearth a single square (if explosions are nearby etc). It adds a little more time but well worth the gold.
@@ExplorationGamingESO There are a lot of good beginner guides and build guides out there already. The videos that you have done covering little niche areas like the legerdemain were really appreciated.
Thank You! for talking about the Skills!?! 🤯 The vast majority of the ultimate guides on this ever!!! never even mention the skills LOL! Let alone what ones are worth investing in... I wish you would of talked about both Excavating & Scrying lines tho? 😟 And also Thank You for Keeping it Simple in your videos 😉
@@ExplorationGamingESO I'd love to hear your opinion on Exactly what skills you need & don't need to waste points in?. Also does Extra Exp help??? as in the Exp Bonus going on right now with the Witches Event etc.??? TY for your reply 😉
@@RawLu. No. Scrying and Excavation work like a 'guild' skill line. They can only be leveled using their specific method and are not impacted by exp boosts of any kind.
Im loving your videos and your advice is spot on (and you are also so right about a few respected YTers giving really bad and confusing advice about this subject) And while i still have no idea who Bob Ross is, i do enjoy your style Im very happy to be a subscriber and "Liker" of your videos That sounded kinda ass-kissy, but its sincere and not meant at all to just stroke your ego You did mention a future expansion on this subject, i wonder will there be any advice in that about getting actual leads I do understand many are random but i have been going through a bad dry patch with them of late, so if you know of any ways to make them start flowing in again, i would certainly appreciate knowing
Treasure chests are great places to look for leads. In High Isle on the PTS I found a mythic lead in a bottle on the beach...it had a name, like abandoned bottle or something. I think many mythic leads on HI will be buried in the card game to make people play it. World events and world bosses also seem to be good prospects for leads. I appreciate your kind words and I'm grateful you are watching and subbed. Thanks so much.
@@ExplorationGamingESO Thanks mate! And i sure appreciate your videos, especially this one, although it mightve been nicer to have found out Leads are account shared before i levelled 4 toons in Antiquities But, we live and learn :)
@@ExplorationGamingESO Most people miss the shortcuts in the game. Like allocating cp by holding shift and scroll uo and down, drag and drop inventory items to delete them and multi deconstruct or refining. ESO doesn't explain a lot of stuff.
@@ExplorationGamingESO That would be helpful for new players. There are tons of hidden stuff in the game that are a life changer. Ill comment more stuff when i get back from work so you can make a list of them!
@@zombiecrow92 I think it could be a huge help to all of us! Please email me with your list: explorationgaming3@gmail.com I'll start scouring the web for more of them.
@@ExplorationGamingESO yeah I know that was 3 months ago already transmuted 3 of them for 3 toons but after pts 39 it’s almost pointless to have them now
I make so much money on the bonus loot. It isn't completely random, like Benele says, if you look at the dirt patterns, you sometime just see it, and I think I saw 2 in your dig here. Keen eye is so useless when you have the insight tool quickslotted. The guide we need is how to get weird leads.
I'd have to disagree. I've been testing out your theory on the fissures and fooling with them even after you've dug up the antiquity can lead to disaster.
@@ExplorationGamingESO Thanks. I think everything should be part of a sticker book that you can take out when needed once you bind it to yourself. Furniture, antiques, armour sets. The armour set sticker book is half baked at the moment. They should make it so you can also store upgraded pieces too. If you upgrade it to gold tier then you can click it and store it back in the collection book.
I found Keen Eye much less than useful. Waste of points imho. I also use the trowel sometimes when I just need a few layers, same as you. Charge it with two handbrush and it doesn't go that deep so as to damage your lead.
Lol. Who comes to an ESO video, makes pronunciation corrections, and then gives a passive insult about not paying attention in geometry class? I chuckled in real life thinking about this person typing out his message.
Your videos are great. Keep going and I'm sure you will hit thousands of subs and views in no time. Good luck and most of all... Thank you for your work :)
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I'll have a new video out today! I appreciate you watching. Thanks again.
They really are very good!!

Glad it helped!
Great job- I like your low-key, mellow delivery. Easy on my brain my brotha’ Keep them coming💪🏻
Thanks so much for watching. More is coming soon.
I really grinded to lvl 7 scrying without knowing you could use the eye😊
Excellent video. You're right, your suggestions make so much more sense than some I've watched.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks a ton 🙏🏻 your tip regarding excavation truly worked wonders for me.....leveled up within no time and almost zero failure. Thanks man!!!
Great to hear!
But trowel is useful for later level excavations, cause if you connect fissure points and hit that with a 2 barred trowel you make a big holes that often reveal the extra loot, which easily leads to thousands of extra coins and rare materials
This. It is easier on green and blue leads but you can often get indeko runes and rare style materials
Play whatever style you like, but bonus loot is random. Playing with the fissures will only end up damaging the antiquity, in my experience.

I've never tried hitting the smoking spots. I was always afraid doing so would damage the antiquity. Not even sure if that's the case or not lol.
Dear god thank you, 10x better guide than any others I have watched
Wow, thanks!

Great vid, question tho- why aren't you using the keyboard shortcuts for scrying and excavating? Like 2 and D.

you only have to do it once...then you can transmute more for 25 crystals.
@@ExplorationGamingESO yeah I know that was 3 months ago already transmuted 3 of them for 3 toons but after pts 39 it’s almost pointless to have them now
How do you have so much time?? I've got all my skills maxed, but I have only seconds, nothing like the leisurely span you get.
hmmm...I can show my exact stats if you meet when I'm live sometime. Glad to share my skill points, passives, and everything else.

@@ExplorationGamingESO I know it's been ten days, but I don't mess with fissures either
When you acquire an antique, does it add it to a collection/sticker book that you can take out when you need it? Or does it stay in your inventory?
inventory, unfortunately. They are furnishings.
@@ExplorationGamingESO Thanks. I think everything should be part of a sticker book that you can take out when needed once you bind it to yourself. Furniture, antiques, armour sets. The armour set sticker book is half baked at the moment. They should make it so you can also store upgraded pieces too.

I love checking my sticker book.
Ive been doing scrying yellow wwith no excavation lvl ups lol
either I don't understand, or you aren't being truthful
Bonus loot is not a waste
not a waste, but not a goal.
I found Keen Eye much less than useful. Waste of points imho.
I also use the trowel sometimes when I just need a few layers, same as you.
Charge it with two handbrush and it doesn't go that deep so as to damage your lead.
Are you playing on Linux
no, I play on a regular gaming PC, using Microsoft and going through a Steam Account.
You need to learn how to mellow out, dude.
I'm the Bob Ross of ESO, how much more mellow can I get?
And foci is pronounced foke-eye. I take it you failed to pay any attention in the mandatory geometry class in every public school.
snide and unkind remarks will get you banned from being able to reply. Care to rephrase your comment?
