    I've never used archaeology before, and so my first time is with the new version that's just come out.
    I tried using it on a special item, and didn't like the stats. After the cooldown was over, I tried
    again and got the message "you have become lost in your own museum" or something like that.

    I don't notice any changes to the item once I get that message, and no matter how many times
    I've tried after that, it never seems to work for the same item again? Does it only work once per item?
    I tried well over 15 times on the special item I was trying (the Indiana Jones hat) but to no avail. I tried
    another special item with the same outcome.

    Is this how it is supposed to work? Am I doing something wrong?

    This is the new possible down side. Once this happens on an item, that item cannot be changed anymore.

    It makes sense to have a risk like that, but now I really wish I'd tried this skill out before the latest version. Maybe some of the other items that I try this on will let me get more than one change before getting that message.

    Thanks for your help!

    I have gotten like 8-9 changes on items and still havent gotten that message, and then on other items I try to change it and get that message the first time. It is just an added risk to the skill now which balances it out nicely I believe.
