A tetracompass (powered) is an artefact made from a tetracompass (unpowered) when powering it next to the mysterious monolith at the Archaeology Campus. Observing it will cause it to behave as a compass clue. Excavating at the correct location will give an ancient casket and the compass will be consumed. There are 71 possible locations.

Unlike Treasure Trail clues, multiple tetracompasses can be started and ended at any time. If locating multiple tetracompasses at a time, once the correct location has been found, the player can click on each one to check for any potential duplicates. An easier way of checking multiples at the same spot is to use the 'Excavate' option on another tetracompass in the inventory, where another with the same location will be excavated.

For information on training as well as profit making, see Tetracompass value.
