The Excavation is an activity at the Great Plume where players may gather essences, resources, and occasionally baby creatures through working together or acting solo. Two excavation rounds happen per day, ending at 11:55AM and 11:55PM Server Time.
Rewards differ based on the chosen action and the resulting outcome. The action chosen by the majority will usually bring favorable results compared to those in the minority who chose the other action, though there is also a rare chance for the small minority to get the usual favorable outcome with an extra resource as a bonus instead.
Description
Within the fissure itself are several quarry sites, where field researchers can be seen working alongside archeologists to carefully dig through the earth. It seems that some field researchers have their own goals in mind though, and are in the very same quarries, but working all on their own.
Rotating Essences
Regular Sector essences rotate every week starting on Monday. Seasonal essences are available after their respective seasons for about a month alongside regular essences.
