Overview
Location
The Ancient Archives is a crafting area located in Ancient Isle. The door to the Ancient Archives stays open even after leaving and rejoining, similar to the Gate to the Depths.
Requirements to unlock
An Eclipse event, 4 players and 4 fragments (Ancient, Solar, Earth and Deep Sea). Hence as long as the 4 fragments are shared among the 4 players, the Ancient Archives door may be opened.
Steps to unlock
To access the Ancient Archives, four players must stand on each of four pressure plates and place 4 fragments (ancient, solar, earth and deep sea) into their statues, rotating each one to face themselves. This must be done during an eclipse, otherwise the player is met with text that tells them they cannot rotate it.
Notes
- The best way to get to the Crafting Station is to use Gliders to jump the gaps, or go behind the Crafting Station and climb on the wall. The first rod requires a minimum of level 5, and the last one requires Level 850.
It is recommended to finish the Bestiary entry for this place as it is relatively easy to do and rewards a free Bobber & 5,000C$.
