Archaeology Helper accelerates your surveying by providing triangulation on a Heads-Up Display (HUD)
- Survey then press green, yellow or red button to add new sector to the HUD and narrow down the position of your fragment
- HUD optionally includes GatherMate2 pins showing possible fragment positions, further accelerating the process
- Shows Dig Sites on Battlefield Minimap
- Keybindings and various settings
How to use
Go to dig site, Right Click last button (spade) to show HUD and Left Click to cast Survay. Then ROTATE YOUR CHAR, BUT DON'T MOVE in the needed direction and press colored button according to Survey result. Move to other location, do same again.
It is strongly recommended to use in conjunction with GatherMate2, which will show all previous or imported dig-points on the HUD. When using GatherMate2 jump onto fragment before gathering! GatherMate2 data accuracy depends on that. Minimap zoom buttons also zoom the HUD display.
Controls
