NPC	Archaeologist Indy Archaeologist Mortimer

Archaeology is one of six Gathering Professions in Blockgame.

Uncover Blockgame’s hidden secrets with the Archaeology profession! Dig through specific materials to gain Archaeology EXP, and as your skill grows, so does your chance of finding rare treasures.

Visit Archaeologist Indy in Origin to gear up and get tips for your next big find.

Note: In Blockgame, unlike Vanilla Minecraft, specific blocks require a designated tier or higher of Tools to break the block in question at all. If you attempt to break a block with a Tool tier lower than its requirement, the block will not break even if the digging animation is completed.
