[*]The [b]archeology experience cap has been raised to level 3[/b]. [*]For this dig site we have [b]removed the randomized chests to try out splitting the apparel sets across two dig sites each[/b]. The reason for split chests (or randomized apparel) is that one dig site yielding seven items is a bit imbalanced for the cadence of archaeology. After reviewing feedback, we determined that the randomized chests were somewhat unpopular. The downside of the split is that its more dig sites for pickaxes and notes to be spread across, but the split allows reliable results from each chest. We hope this change helps to alleviate the frustrations of the randomized chest distribution method. [/LIST]
