Explorer's Society Guildhouse-Archaelogy Skill Table

After building the Explorer's Society Guild House during A Room with a View the Archaeology Skills table will become available.
It is located next to the entrance from Solitude and contains four book-shaped activators:

  • View Excavation Perk Tree
  • View Expedition Perk Tree
  • View Academia Perk Tree
  • Reset Archaeology Perks

Your Archaeology level will increase by one every time you mine an archaeological Dig Site or whenever creating a item at the Archaeology Station. For every 5 levels in the Archaeology skill you gain a perk point that can be invested in any of the three skill trees.

The Reset Archaeology Perks activator can be used to reset all skills so the perk points can de redistributed. This can be done at any time, there's no need to max out a certain skill tree before it can be resetted (unlike the "Legendary" option in the vanilla skill trees).

All of the aforementioned except the Reset can also be done via the "Archaeology" part of the LotD MCM Settings.
