About ESO Scrying & Excavation Boosting
The Antiquities system in The Elder Scrolls Online, introduced with the Greymoor chapter, is built on two skills: Scrying for locating relics and Excavation for digging them up.
This system lets you find many unique rewards, including:
- Powerful Mythic items
- Unique furnishings for your home
- Valuable and rare motifs
Leveling Scrying and Excavation from 1 to 10 typically takes 30-40 hours of travel between zones, repeat mini-game cycles, and dig-site rotations β and Master-tier Leads (the ones that point at Mythic Items) only unlock at Rank 7.
Our service handles the leveling end-to-end β Coalescence unlocked at Rank 3, Intermediate Leads at Rank 5, Master-tier at Rank 7, Keen Eye passives at Rank 10. You skip the 30-40 hour climb and land where Mythic Item farms begin.

Pro Boosterβs Guide β ESO Scrying & Excavation
The leveling route our Antiquarians actually run:
- Rank 1-3: Western Skyrim Simple Leads. Highest dig-site density per square km. Coalescence passive at Scrying Rank 6 widens the facet conversion pattern for every later Scrying puzzle.
- Rank 3-5: Blackwood + Greymoor mix. Intermediate Leads unlock at Rank 5 β we stage Blackwood digs to land just before the rank-up.
- Rank 5-7: Advanced Leads in Necrom. Necrom chapter dig sites yield the highest fragment count per Excavation. Rank 7 unlocks Master Leads (the gateway to most Mythic Items).
- Rank 7-10: Master Lead farms. First Mythic-tier Lead Codex picks land here β we farm Pale Order or Oakensoul in parallel with the final ranks.
- Rank 10 Keen Eye passives. Treasure Chest and Heavy Sack proximity reveals make ongoing Mythic farming self-funding via incidental gold drops.
