Exams (Part 1)

Curator: Use the letter on him and he will stamp it for you. Then take it back to the Examiner.

Examiner: Go talk to the Examiner again and give her the letter. She will ask you 3 questions and you'll fail. Head out to the dig site, for here comes the long part.

Students Shirt: Talk to any Student you find. There are three students to talk to total and you must talk to all three.

Green Shirt: The student in the green shirt needs a rock sample that a workman has, and you have to pickpocket the workmen till you find it. You will acquire lots of other junk in the process so just drop it.

Violet Shirt: The female student in the pale violet shirt needs a rock sample that you find in a bush near the urns you see before coming down to the site. Search the bush and return the sample to the student.

Brownish-orange: The student in the brownish-orange shirt needs a rock sample that is found in the stream. To pan in the stream you need to have a pan, which is found in the largest tent near the entrance. Use the pan on a panning point and you will be stopped by a Guide. Ask him �How do I become an invited?� Once he finishes talking �use the cup of tea� on him. He will let you pan anywhere you want now. Now start panning until you find the rock sample then take it back to the brownish-orange student.

Dynamite (Part 2)

So now you have passed all of the exams and are a level 3 graduate.

Ammonium Nitrate: Return to the tent with the panning tray. Either stand around the chest until someone else opens it and then search it -or- you must have a specimen jar and specimen brush. The brush is acquired by pick pocketing workmen and the jar is acquired by searching the sacks in the north-eastern corner of the digging area. Search around in the level 3 areas for a while, until you find a Talisman of Zaros. Take it to the Archeological Expert and he will be impressed. He will give you a scroll to take to the workmen near the second winch, directly south of where you found the jar. Use it on them and they will let you down the winch. Use a rope on a winch and go down. Talk to the workman standing nearby and try to get the chest key from him. It may take a few tries. Once you have the key, go back to the large tent and use it on the chest. Search the chest when it is open and get the unidentified object. Take this to the Archeological Expert and use it on him. Then he will identify it. Search the bookcases for a book on chemicals and read it.

Nitroglycerin: To get the nitroglycerin, have a vial and use your trowel on the barrels near the tent. Then use your vial on the barrel and you will receive unidentified object. Take it to the Archeological Expert and use it on him to have him identify it.

Arcenia Root: The root, or "?" mark in the Book found in the bookshelf in the south-eastern corner of the education center, is found in the only room accessible from the winch found north-west of the large tent. You'll need another rope to get down.

Ground Charcoal: To get ground charcoal, use the lump of charcoal with the pestle and mortar.

Once all of the above items are acquired, use the nitrate, then the charcoal and then arcenia root on the vial to get explosive mixture. Use the explosive mixture on the bricks at the bottom of the winch where you got the arcenia root from. Then use the tinderbox on the bricks and it will blow up. Once blown up walk past the level 25 skeletons and grab the stone tablet in the middle of the figure on the ground. Take it back to the Archeological Expert and he will reward you.
