Excavation Skill Line - ESO

The Excavation skill-line is part of the "World" category in the Elder Scrolls Online and is used for the Antiquities System. The Excavation skill-line lets you excavate treasures from the Antiquities System. Another neat feature about the Excavation skill-line is that it offers the "Keen Eye: Treasure Chests", which makes it easier to see all treasure chests in the game.
