At that level players can discover how to make tool gizmos allowing mattocks to use perks by adding them to the augmented mattock. This allows the player to create augmented mattocks by using an augmentor on the dragon mattock, crystal mattock, imcando mattock, Mattock of Time and Space or Guildmaster Tony's mattock.

The Mattock of Time and Space, as well as Guildmaster Tony's mattock, are unique in that they do not have a metal mattock around their level.

Unique mattocks, such as the dragon, crystal and imcando mattocks, act as a tier higher than the metal mattock of the same level.

Standard metal mattocks are cheap and easy to obtain, but they cannot be augmented. Higher level mattocks boast greater precision, which affects the rate of progress towards artefacts, and greater focus, which increases the rate materials are found. They are similar to pickaxes used for Mining, such that players can use better mattocks as they reach higher Archaeology levels.
