Editing Museum (section)

== The Curator's Survey ==

Finish any wing and its Curator's Desk changes job: with no skulls left to trade you, it starts buying that ground's now-dead stock for '''{{Icon|survey-seal}} Curator's Seals''' instead. This runs per wing, not only once the whole Museum is done — every wing that stands complete is already surveying, while wings you're still filling keep their ordinary skull-trading Desk. Three things convert:

* that ground's '''Dig Site Map''' — priced by biome tier, from 20 maps at Grasslands down to 11 at the Sundered Vale.
* that ground's '''Field Journal''' page — at the Desk's own price, the same 12/15/18 it charges for a skull.
* a '''duplicate skull''' whose species is already mounted — at a third of that price (4/5/6), matching the +3 pages a dupe already banks at the dig.

A finished wing's maps alone come in at roughly '''0.6 Seals an hour''', plus a trickle from pages and duplicate skulls, so Seals accumulate quietly in the late game without revisiting the wing.

Seals buy a small shelf of capacity-only upgrades (no speed or find-rate effects) that outlasts the Museum itself — the full shelf costs '''219 Seals''':

These aren't sold at the [[Shop]] — the amber Exchange only lists Amber-priced upgrades, so the Curator's Survey shelf lives here instead.
