Default Re: Efficient Site Searching

if your pretender is a rainbow than by all means use him to site search in the beginning of the game, before you relegate him to lab duties only. otherwise it depends on the nation you play. some nations have great manual site searchers, others rely more on remote searching. it also greatly depends on what gems are the most important for your nation.

generally remote searching is easier than manual, but it costs gems as well as the mage turns. manual searching is free and can search for more than 1 gem type simultaneously. however it costs twice the mage turns(one turn to walk another to search) and isn't guaranteed to find all the sites in types he can search for(unless it's a level4 mage which is quite rare for most nations).
