Less QQ, more Dig dig!

EDIT: This used to say 'Find every rare artifact. Yes every one. Stop whining'
Edit: I got an achievement!

Kommentar von mixter

This is most likely (obviously!) reffering to the QQing of thousands of players over achievements like : "Bloody Rare" and "Northern Exposure"

Though , what puzzles me is why the title Associate Professor?

i hope you will get a hat and a whip for the reward

Kommentar von RageCage

This is a reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Dr. Jones exclaims "That belongs in a museum!" while having some ancient artifact forcibly removed from his hands.

Kommentar von Zuldim

Between the name, and the description, this may in fact be the best achievement in game. Here's hoping they don't change it for launch. Hey, they didn't change Bloodsail Admiral.

I'm tempted to get a name change to Utonium for this.

Kommentar von LoKHor

Going the Sherlock Holmes route, if I wasn't so attached to my character I would consider renaming (and gender changing) to Moriarty, then go around wearing a tophat or a monocle.

Kommentar von Atrea

I made a character named Frink for the sole purpose of getting this title.

Kommentar von 276211

Anyone know if you can find 2 of the same rare item? I've been searching for Tyrande's trinket for 3 days straight and I've found every rare Night Elf find except it. Wanting to know how much longer my search will take.

Kommentar von 666813

Got this achievement tonight. A few tips for those who are trying to get it.

Fast travel options

Eastern Kingdom:
Guild back with teleport to SW helps (with 8h-2h cooldown depending how far along your guild is with level/achieve)
You can travel BETWEEN Twilight Highlands and Stormwind through portal if you did starting quests.
You can travel TO Blasted Lands from any major city. Portal is near mage trainer.
There is Tol Barad tabard which you can use to get to SW. (not 100% sure since I put all my free time into archeology)
Death Gate to EPL. Death Knight only spell.

Outland:
Black Temple neck.
Engineering teleport
Major cities have portal to blasted lands which you can use to get to hellfire quickly. (again guild back helps)

Northrend:
Argent Crusader's Tabard. 30min cd teleport to Icecrown. It takes around 25 days to get it if you've never done Argent Tournament dailies.
Ring of Kirin Tor. 30min cd? teleport to Dalaran. Pruchase from the JC vendor at Dalaran.
Jaina's Locket. 1h CD portal to Dalaran. ICC drop if I remember correctly.
Engineering teleport

Kalimdor:
Teleport to moonglade. Gratz Druids.
Portals from SW to Hyjal/Uldum. Keep in mind that those portals are one way. Unless I completely missed the portals back but I doubt that.
There is still Caverns of Time portal in Dalaran so if you have means to get there (tabard, ring, locket) you can use that to get to Tanaris.
Engineering teleport.

You can get a list of artifacts here: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/skill=794#projects:0+11+14+1

I went this route:

First mine fragments, don't solve them, until your skill is 100. Then the 'nodes' turn gray and you can only get skill from solving the artifacts.

If you're a melee who desires Zin'Rokh I'd suggest to save ALL the troll fragments and just grind EK until your skill is 450. It takes way more time to reach the skill but it has a couple of reasons. First you'll need 450 to be able to discover the weapon. The other reason is that if you hit 450 the Dig Sites will also spawn to Vashjir and Twilight Highlands which contain Nelf and Dwarf fragments.

If you're aim is not Zin'Rokh then grind until you have 3/4 or 4/4 of the Dwarf rares. The last one being epic ilvl359 staff. It's 'extra rare' and there's no point to waste your time until later. If you get it, good. If not, move on. Don't worry about fossil rares. The mount needs 300 skill but you'll get more fossils later. Certainly don't worry about Nelf rares. EK has 2 Nelf dig sites before 450 skill. On the other hand Kalimdor has loads of Nelf sites.

So, skill 300, on to Outland. Farm until you have all outlands rares. Whopping 3 of them. 2 of the Draenei and 1 Orc. They shouldn't be that hard to get. If you hit 375 before you have them you can always go on and come back later.

at 375 you can go to Northrend. There are 3 rares. One for vrykul which is very-very easy to get since most of the Norhtrend is filled with vrykul fragments. The other two are for nerubian which are much harder to farm since there are very few nerubian sites. I'd suggest to get at least 2 before leaving. 3 if you haven't hit any 'extra rares' by now. Drop rate should be decent and the only problem is getting Nerubian sites. (you'll also get some troll and nelf fragments from Northrend)

at 450 you can see Uldum sites. Kalimdor has loads of Night Elf sites, 1 or 2 Dwarf site, few troll sites in Tanaris, Fossil sites in Un'Goro, Tanaris, Desolace, Stonetalon mountains and Tol'Vir sites in Uldum.
Basically you'll want to get 6/7 of the Night Elf rares before deciding what to do next.

You should have at least
3/4 Dwarf
2/2 Fossil
3/3 Draenei/Orc
2/3 Vrykul/Nerubian
6/7 NIght Elf

Making it total of 16 artifacts. If not then go farm them first. Rest is infamous RNG. I'm guessing that at least 3/6 of Tol'Vir artifacts aren't that rare but getting the sites to spawn there is pain.

Good luck!

ps. sorry about the bad writing and formating and etc. I really need to go to sleep now. Will edit this in near future.

A little addon to help counting.

Kommentar von Fausty666

Finally finished this today.

Six hours to complete my last rare (last for achievement, no I don't have all 26!) which was thankfully the caster ring from Tol'Vir.

Six hours and x3 Heiroglyphs - worst run of sites ever.

Kommentar von 69178

If you're like me, and thinking, 'I have found all of the rares and commons, why am I even getting nodes of Fossil still?' -- you can sell some of the grays to vendors for sometimes a few gold. Typically the findings involved in the meta discovery achievements.

However, I would prefer if once you've completed all of the findings for a race/type that it no longer appear as a dig site. It's only remaining purpose is to now drain time, interest and raise annoyance. What other profession has that?

Kommentar von 764085

Just wanted to give some personal insight on how I got my professor title.

These are listed by the dig type, how many of the available rares I obtained, and how many total solves it took me to get to those rares.

I've also listed the ones I did NOT aquire as to give you an idea on which ones you may or may not want to bank on

Fully Completed Digs

Fossil - 2/2 Rares - total combines needed 21
Troll - 1/1 - total combines needed 141
Night Elf- 7/7 Rares - total combines needed 229
Vrykul - 1/1 Rares - total combines needed 11
Draenei - 2/2 Rares - total combines needed 15
Orc - 1/1 Rares - total combines needed 9

Incomplete Digs

Dwarf - 3/4 -Rares - total combines needed 33 (still missing staff)
Nerubian - 1/2 Rares - total combines needed 14 (still missing blessing)
Tol'Vir- 2/6 Rares - total combines needed 23 (only 2 i got were the ring and the scarab pendant, missing all others)

As you can see the only 2 'uber rares' i got were the troll sword and the night elf trinket. At the time I got queued for the
night elf trinket I was actually in northrend attempting to get the nerubian blessing.

Hopefully this can help some of you plot your course while attempting to get your professor title.

Kommentar von Fujiama

Just finished this achievement! Yay, I'm happy. I was fairly lucky as well! My ending stats were as following:

Dwarf: 30 (rare: 3 solved: 40) (All but Stab des Zaubererthans Thaurissan)
Draenei: 10 (rare: 2 solved: 21)
Fossil: 14 (rare: 2 solved: 60)
Night Elf: 25 (rare: 7 solved: 108) (Had all rares solved after 44 solves. Rest were fragments gathered while farming Tol'vir or Northrend rares.)
Nerubian: 9 (rare: 2 solved: 9) (Funny story, I completed the Puzzlebox des Yogg-Saron, but didn't really look at the next solve. When I had tried out the Puzzle Box, I looked at what was my next solve, and there was the Blessing of the Old God. Waaaaay too lucky.)
Orc: 10 (rare: 1 solved: 18)
Tol'vir: 9 (rare: 2 solved: 13) (Got the Anhänger des Skarabäussturms and the Szepter von Azj'Aqir, so I was damn lucky. Realm #4 to get the mount, as well!)
Troll: 14 (rare: 0 solved: 84) (No luck here :()
Vrykul: 6 (rare: 1 solved: 19)

All in all it has been very fun and has been something fun to do. I've spent almost every single day since I dinged 525 archaeology with doing archaeology, and it hasn't become tedious yet. It took me exactly 14 days to get from 525 till I got this achievement.

One advice for people going for this achievement, don't take it in one long stroke unless you find it really really fun. Take some breaks, do some archaeology once in a while.

1081 artifacts total to get this achievement.

Don't give up, dudes.

Kommentar von heliconius

dig per second is what matters the most;

-In most cases, clearing the closest but crap digsite with 0% rare item possibility will turn out to be more efficient than flying to that farthest digsite with a rare item possibility. By doing so, you will cause a new digsite to spawn with a chance of being a better option, and you will have proceeded through 2 or more digsites instead of spending the time fliying to the other end, just for a single dig.

Kommentar von 764085

EZ All,

Professor Pkay here again.

After completing professor I have been working to solve Tol'Vir for the mount and Dwarf for the staff.

Consequently, I have 244 Tol'Vir solves and 192 Dwarf solves since my last rare find and still no luck.

I'm well aware it's all RNG and I could very well be having bad luck, but I would like to confirm with another professor that you have in fact received a rare since hitting professor. I know the intent is for you to continue on solving rares but I'm just wanting to insure there is no bug

So..... If anyone can confirm this it would be greatly appreciated! Then I can go back to crying about my terrible rng!

I realized such an item exists after my 16th rare :/

Edit: downrating useful information is not cool; you are too lazy to explain why but can easily click a minus in the blink of an eye?...

Kommentar von 573615

I'm at 19 rares after a total of 542 (560) solves. Haven't got any of the "ultra rare" rares yet.

Dwarf: 37
Draenei: 13
Fossil: 71 (75)
Night Elf: 203 (213)
Nerubian: 19
Orc: 15
Tol'vir: 62 (64)
Troll: 93 (95)
Vrykul: 29

About a minute after I posted this I solved another tol'vir common and procced the Scepter.

Whilst making the Scepter the Nelf trink also procced... actually finished that first. I added the final numbers in brackets where they were different to my initial post.

Why was I so keen on getting this title? All my toons have names that start Zyps, my priest is called Zypsdawkins, Professor Zypsdawkins :D

Kommentar von 534473

In patch 4.1, three more rares will probably be added, at least one to troll and at least one to vrykul archaeology, none of which appear to be 'ultra' rare finds.

This really grinds my gears. With these three new rares, this title, which previously took a long time and effort to get, will now have its time very significantly cut, as players will no longer need to do any tol'vir archaeology at all for it or grind for any of the ultra rares. Even more annoying considering some players already spent dozens of hours grinding the pointless tol'vir pendant for example only to find there are now much faster to obtain rares which are equally pointless.

Kommentar von Armyboy44

New Rares added for patch 4.1
Note that the patch notes originally said 7 new rares, but that has been corrected because there are only 6.
Also there will be up to 4 keystones sometimes from a dig, which will make solving much easier.

Extinct Turtle Shell-- Shield -- Fossil
Ancient Amber -- Misc. -- Fossil
Pterrordax Hatchling -- Companion Pet -- Fossil
Voodoo Figurine -- Companion Pet -- Troll
Haunted War Drum -- Misc. -- Troll
Vrykul Drinking Horn -- Misc. -- Vrykul

For Horde the trick is to utilize the portals and hearthstone whilst in Kalimdor and do the sites in groups to avoid wasted time. I haven't had even one ultra rare 359 item drop yet and gave up on them because of there atrocious drop rate. If you want the title just stick to digging for the more common rares to save your sanity. The Tol' Vir dig sites are few and far between and the chances of an ultra rare drop aren't worth the amount of coffee and vodka you'll need to grind it out.

For Alliance....well um I shall gank you all while you're digging ;)

It's a bit frustrating seeing a lot of people with this achievement now.
Pre 4.1, toons with Professor title are really rare. They should add a new achievement at 25+ rare solves.

Kommentar von Arlor

If they're going to continue following American academic ranks, Professor Emeritus is next. And it would make sense to give it when you have all the rares since you would be done with Archaeology, just as it is generally retiring professors who become emeriti.

Kommentar von Crazyrussian

Next archeology title will be Doctor and it will most likely be 25 or 30 Rare finds. There used to be an armory glitch where it showed you different titles than what you actually had on, using the title Grunt showed me as Relentless Gladiator on the armory. One of the titles showed me as Doctor.

Kommentar von 753585

At this moment I have 27 of the total 32 rare artifacts (I even got 5/6 Tol'Vir I am just missing the sword) So i really hope Blizzard will add a nice title for having 25 or even 30 rare artifacts. Would be nice considering the effort to get that many rares. I also hope that Blizzard will add a flying mount as project in a future patch (like a fossilized Proto-drake or something). That would really be awesome :).

Kommentar von 956988

dig and dig everywhere for this achievement

Kommentar von 853396

Professor Treadwise...I like the ring to that. Finished my 20th and 21st rares tonight. 2 of them are ultra rares...the Extinct Turtle Shell and Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds . I plan on keeping at it until i have them all. What i expect is that Blizz will add more achieves with the Pandaria expansion. With a little expectation that they may add one race at minimum and quite possibly they could add up to three. Pandaran, Goblin and Human are missing from the profession. Letting this profession remain stagnant would be a shame.

Kommentar von 954868

Today must have been my lucky day...I got the Scepter of Azj' Aqir. This is my 2nd Tol'vir rare...the other was the Ring of the Boy Emperor. Only 3 more to complete for my 20.

I am also on my 2nd Canopic jar...too bad I am a JC and not an Alchy.

Kommentar von 463474

Here is the macro to show your progress for the rares:

/run local m={4,2,5,7,2,1,6,3,2} for r=1,9 do local c,a=GetNumArtifactsByRace(r),0 for i=1,c do local _,_,q,_,_,_,_,_,n=GetArtifactInfoByRace(r,i) if q==1 and n>0 then a=a+1 end end print(GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(r)..": "..a.." / "..m) end

This one will show your progress for the commons:

/run local m={27,8,12,18,7,9,7,14,5} for r=1,9 do local c,a=GetNumArtifactsByRace(r),0 for i=1,c do local _,_,q,_,_,_,_,_,n=GetArtifactInfoByRace(r,i) if q==0 and n>0 then a=a+1 end end print(GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(r)..": "..a.." / "..m) end
