Scanning for Buried Relics


What is "Scanning for Buried Relics"?
Launched in February 2013 during Tyrannia Plot, Scanning for Buried Relics is the NC Challenge for the current plot.


How do I participate?
You can buy Tyrannian Scanoscope packs at the NC Mall. There are packs for 1, 5, or 14 Tyrannian Scanoscopes. If you buy the larger packs, it is cheaper than buying separate packs. You may also participate in Scanning for Buried Relics on side accounts. For more information, see the FAQ below.

On sale until February 25

Tyrannian Scanoscope 5-Pack

How do I activate my Tyrannian Scanoscopes?
After purchasing your ticket at the NC Mall, go to your inventory and activate your Tyrannian Scanoscope pack. Then visit the Scanning for Buried Relics page to collect your item.

For each day, a new lock will become available. If a lock is available, it will no longer look greyed-up, and will change to colored question mark.



What kind of prize do the Tyrannian Scanoscopes give out?

How do I activate my Tyrannian Scanoscope?
To activate your Tyrannian Scanoscope, visit your inventory, click on your Tyrannian Scanoscope, and select “Activate Tyrannian Scanoscope Pack.” After you activate your Tyrannian Scanoscopes visit the Buried Relics dig site to start uncovering treasures!

Can I scan the same dig area more than once?
No, unfortunately you can only scan each area once for every account.

Can I scan on days that have passed?
Yes, prizes can be collected on days that have passed or on that day. Simply click on the day you would like your relic prize and apply your Tyrannian Scanoscope.

Is there a time limit to applying a Scanoscope and collecting my daily prize?
There really isn’t a time limit for collecting your daily prizes, but the sooner the better so you can enjoy them! If you activated and have remaining Tyrannian Scanoscopes, you will be able to return to the page to claim your prize as long as the Buried Relics page is still accessible.

I purchased Tyrannian Scanoscopes, why can’t I uncover any relics?
Did you activate your Tyrannian Scanoscopes? To activate your Tyrannian Scanoscopes, visit your inventory, click on your Tyrannian Scanoscopes, and select “Activate Tyrannian Scanoscope Pack.” After you activate your Tyrannian Scanoscopes, visit the Buried Relics dig site to start uncovering treasure!

Can I give Tyrannian Scanoscopes to another user?
Yes, Tyrannian Scanoscopes are like any other Neocash item and are giftable via an NC Gift Box (one item per NC Gift Box).

Can I participate in the buried relics digging on my side account(s)?
Yes, you can participate in the buried relics digging on your side accounts.

I’m trying to activate additional Tyrannian Scanoscopes, why isn’t it working?
Please keep in mind that you will only be able to claim prizes each day once on each account. If you have already activated up to 14 Tyrannian Scanoscopes, you will not be able to activate anymore. An exception to this is if you activate more packs in order to reach 14 Tyrannian Scanoscopes activated. For example, if you activated a 5-pack and then a 1-pack, you will be able to activate a 14-pack in order to reach 14 activations. Unfortunately extra activations cannot be redeemed or returned as you can only collect up to 14 prizes, one each day in this event.
