The Tetracompass is essentially the Crystal key of Archaeology. Unlike most artefacts, the Tetracompass (unpowered) has 4 (hence "tetra") different broken parts that must be obtained in order to restore it: the left piece, right piece, dial, and needle. All four pieces of the tetracompass are always obtained in that order, and are found randomly while excavating hotspots/caches. They can be found as early as level 5 Archaeology, despite requiring level 60 Archaeology to restore. The odds of receiving the pieces are affected by tier 3 and 4 luck bonuses such as Luck of the dwarves or its Relic counterpart.
Once restored, taking the tetracompass to the Monolith will power it, allowing it to lead the player on a hunt similar to a Treasure Trail Compass clue. When the player excavates at the proper location, the compass is replaced by an Ancient casket. This casket will yield 100 of 4+ different Archaeology materials and several damaged artefacts. None of the items found in the casket are restricted by the Archaeology level of the player opening it. In addition it can contain Complete tomes, a completed Crystal triskelion, and Clue scrolls.
Rather than being discovered through excavation, the Wingsuit v1 (damaged) is found lying around in the North Eastern building in the Recreation section of the Stormguard Citadel Dig Site.

Once restored, the Wingsuit v1 can be added to a player's toolbelt for convenience. It will need to be upgraded over the course of the "Wing Out" Mystery to permit further exploration of the Stormguard Citadel.
The Spear of Annihilation is a weapon made from a Spear of Annihilation tip, which is a rare drop from Bandos' sanctum debris (requires level 115 Archaeology). It requires several steps to make that are outlined below.
