Hunt the desert for every different pottery sherd you can brush up.

The explorer's message was smashed into pieces and scattered across the desert. Every sherd is one piece.

What you’ll build

Head back to the desert to hunt for the explorer's broken pottery. Brush every suspicious block at your dig sites and tally each result, sherd or not. Name each picture you find and keep the doubles: you'll need them to craft pots next.

Finish line: Your tally chart covers every site you dug, and you have at least four sherds ready for pots.

Bonus challenge: Check the warm ocean ruins near a desert beach for suspicious sand too. Do their sherds have different pictures from the desert's?

You’ll need

  • Two or three brushes
  • Torches
  • Food
  • Your dig site coordinates

You choose

  • My collector's title
  • Main hunting ground: temple, well or
  • My bet: the first sherd I'll find twice

Stuck?

  • Brushes wear out. Bring spares so you don't have to walk all the way back to craft another.
  • Different sites hold different sherd pictures, so try both wells and temples.
  • Finds are random. A short run of nothing is normal, so keep brushing and keep tallying.
