Still excavating

The events that featured them are long over but I am still digging up the Old Ruins and the Excavation Site. The Old Ruins are best: they generate a lot of XP with the occasional reward of a Flaming Torch for free. I return to the Excavation Site when I need more Rock Piles (with scorpion animation) for decorating around places like Shelbyville Bluffs or the ancient Egypt area. Yes, there are lots of junk rewards and I turn down the sound so Lisa’s exclamations don’t drive me mad, but I keep going back.

I hope this winter will bring back a way to generate ice tiles
  • I always use the knight's move and the map positions as detailed above but not in the above order, as I found on my Dig Site at least anyway, there were certain areas that got relics under them more often than others.
    But don't ask me what sort of order, I didn't get that far.

    You may choose to dig in any order you wish, however there was a great deal of discussion when this mini game was released with various players coming together to produce the method above for efficiency. You can rotate the grid any way you want, but tapping 1,2 and 3 before any other blocks on the edge means that 15 blocks will be eliminated.
