Locked Ancient Invention Guide/Overview

ANCIENT INVENTION

Ancient Invention is an expansion for the Invention skill, connecting with the Archaeology skill. It introduces ancient gizmos, ancient tools and ancient devices.
To unlock ancient invention, players must either obtain the blueprints from players or the Grand Exchange, or unlock them manually by training Archaeology and crafting the blueprints.
It is not required to visit Howl's Floating Workshop to learn Ancient Invention, simply reading the blueprint allows the player to unlock them.

BLUEPRINTS
When training Archaeology at Stormguard Citadel Dig Site, players will receive torn blueprint fragments which can then be used to craft ancient gizmo blueprints at Howl's invention bench in the upper level of Stormguard Citadel (torn blueprint fragments are also awarded by completing Armadylean collection logs). In order to access Howl's Floating Workshop, players must have level 95 Archaeology.

ANCIENT COMMPONENTS
Players can acquire 4 types of Ancient components from Archaeology by disassembling restored artefacts. Broken artefacts cannot be disassembled. These components are used in the making of ancient gizmos, devices, and perks. They can also be traded amongst players by exchanging component crates.
In order to prepare these components, players must have the respective Invention level to discover them at an inventor's workbench, varying with each one. They may then be used for gizmo shells.

ANCIENT PERKS
Three new perks are introduced with Ancient Invention. As these perks require the use of ancient components, they can only be created in ancient gizmo shells.

NOTE: Ancient perks are currently not added in the game.

ANCIENT DEVICES
Ancient Invention also allows the player to further enhance existing Invention tools so that they act as level 80 tools rather than level 70 tools.
The XP capacitor is an Invention device and acts like bonus experience for Invention items. Players can fill the XP capacitor while training with augmented items, with some of the item experience that would have gone to the player's augmented items being stored in the capacitor instead. A filled XP capacitor is tradeable; and grants a player using it double item experience until the capacitor is empty.

MUSEUM: ARMADYLEAN COLLECTIONS

I only recommend doing the Museum: Armadylean collection logs only one time each for the different qualifications. Since you only get the Chronotes for completing them, so completing the normal Armadylean collectiong logs is more beneficial.

Museum: Armadylean I; 5,688 Chronotes (for handing in all of the artefacts in the first log) + 7,110 Chronotes (for completing the first log).
Museum: Armadylean II; 6,068 Chronotes (for handing in all of the artefacts in the second log) + 7,585 Chronotes (for completing the second log).
Museum: Armadylean III; 10,468 Chronotes (for handing in all of the artefacts in the third and last log) + 13,085 Chronotes (for completing the third and final log).

I hope that this guide for Ancient Invention.
I WILL BE UPDATING THIS GUIDE TIME TO TIME, IF NEEDED.
