You can only collect those in Uldum afaik...which is a major pain in the butt :-/

There really need to more/higher spawns of Uldum digsites. The zone is overflowing with artifacts and relics such that you are stumbling over them and punting them outta the way while you are questing. But when it comes to Archaeology? Nope. You are pretty much outta luck. That mountain of artifacts doesnt count.

Make sure you get the Uldum digsites right away when they appear. You wanna make sure that those digsites are always available to be replace by new ones. Betting all of us have had that moment with like 3-4 digsites back-to-back appear in Feralas. Maybe multiple times. But if you have 3 digsites in one zone and the Uldum digsite comes up after finishing the 2nd... Go get the Uldum one. Come back for the third. Just in case it spawns one too.

after leveling to 525 skill, i still didnt get any tolvir sites. i was forced to farm the same boring night elf, troll, fossil and the 1 dwarf site in kalimdor while at profession cap just so 1 measly site cud pop up in uldum.

Commento di Furrburger

From when I got 450, I must have gotten at least 50 dig sites before a single Tol'vir one showed up. Got a couple rares and tons of common artifacts in that time.

Cmon you guys.. it's a game and its fun.. i should not be easy to get epic gear, you have to work for it, otherwise everyone will run around with the same gear in no time..I dont have the Scimitar of the Sirocco or the Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds but i will dig after both until i get them, even if it will take a year, I dont care, becose I love the game and I love the challenge.. Do you remember the turtle from Northern? I have to make over 4500 cast to get it but I dident give up.. so stop whining about 50 digsites and do like finfangfool... work for it, get it and make everyone else jealous..
just dig dig dig and get eeepic ;)
Have fun, play fair.

Ugh, trying to get vial of sands for my alchy but it's taking like 20 other digs just to get one to show up in Uldum, and the first thing I got was a rare, finished that and 3 others and now have another rare, gonna take for freakin' ever at this rate

7 new Tol'vir digsites were added in patch 4.0.6:
River Delta Digsite
Cursed Landing Digsite
Keset Pass Digsite
Akhenet Fields Digsite
Obelisk of the Stars Digsite
Sahket Wastes Digsite
Schnottz's Landing

There is now a total of 69 digsites in Kalimdor with 16 of them in Uldum.
This mean that with no current digsites in Uldum you have a 16/66 ~ 24.24% (69-3 because 3 digsites is taken, and the 4th you're digging in can spawn again at the same place) chance to get a spawn in Uldum, a major buff from the previous 9/59 ~ 15.25%
Clearing all 4 sites you have a 67% chance of spawning a Tol'virt digsite.

What is the archeology skill requirement?

Commento di TimeTrap

These can also be used for a sweet buff in the Lost City of Tol'Vir.

When you enter the dungeon on heroic there will be a small pillar just inside on the left, with a blue !. The quest takes 1 fragment and gives a 10% damaged increase to monsters in the dungeon.

Does anyone use the wowhead client? None of my Tol'vir solves are showing up under the project's section.

Commento di 812502

hit 450 bout 2 hours ago and started arch in kallimdor trying for tol'vir. can easily say that you can have more than one digsites at a time since there are at least 6 different spots in uldum.

Commento di 746807

Confirmed by 3 different GMs that Dig Sites will never spawn in content areas which are inappropriate to your character's level and they said you do indeed have to be level 80 for any Cataclysm zone sites to pop up.
So even though my 70 druid's Archaeology is at 450, It seems I can't ever get any Tol'vir sites :(
Just a heads up if you're under 80 or twinked at 70 like I am, Don't bother if you're after the Tol'vir rares!

Commento di 821381

today 4/28/2011 cirka 1:30am. i got my first jar and the dig sites in uldum proced 5 times in a row. finished the jar but it was not the drake. Idk if this was just a glitch, or a spirit of high hopes, or bliz trying to mess with me.anyways thought I'd turn in that info.

Commento di 630461

@ Timetrap I'm pretty sure that quest actually requires one tol'vir keystone, not an archaeology fragment. That would make it similar to the other quests that you have stated.

Commento di 836565

My Arch lvl is maxed and i'm an 85 and I have yet to see any dig sites appear in Uldum. Am I doing something wrong or does my timing just suck that bad? Any help would be great.

Commento di 835079

I'm a level 85 character, a level 525 Archeologist, and still have yet to see a dig site in a new Cataclysm zone. I feel something is amiss. Very confusing and not much info out there to find the answers or the digsites. Are these competetive like mining and herb nodes? Are they a timed spawn like some rares?

Commento di 833702

Currently sitting at 128 Tol'vir solves and only two rares (pendant and ring). And those were probably 100 solves ago. Not sure if that's normal but it sure is frustrating.

Commento di 853628

So I have had the Sandstone since before I could even dig in Uldum, I had a guildy make it and I supplied all the mats. That was back in the beginning of Cata (when I was rolling in all the gold I was making...), and I've been trying to find the recipe ever since! I've had 525 Arch since the beginning of the year just to find the Vial of the Sands for myself, however no such luck. What am I doing wrong? Should I save up the fragments and then solve after a certain huge amount collected? Or should I solve every time I can?

Please help!

When farming Kalimdor, always rush to Uldum whenever a digsite appears there. Otherwise, you're taking away a spawn-slot, which reduces the chance of another Uldum-spawn slightly. It might slow you down yes, but the Tol'vir artifacts are by far the hardest to come by, so I'd rather be slow but grab any opportunity to dig in Uldum.

Due to the portal in the respective capitals and several teleporting-items, travelling to and away from Uldum is very quick.

I'm assuming a one-roll system to detemine the next digsite here - so the digsite themselves have a certain, zone-independent chance to appear. Feel free to argue the case if you have evidence that it's actually a two-roll system! We'd all be glad to know.

*Currently sitting at 128 Tol'vir solves and only two rares (pendant and ring). And those were probably 100 solves ago. Not sure if that's normal but it sure is frustrating.*

Know you posted this a few months ago, but if you have not figured it out yet. That is normal. I have been in Uldum trying to get that Vial recipe Since I posted on this subject back in march. I have listed all the commons I have gotten which include several Canopic jars without recipes on another posting on this site. It bums me out that Uldum is the only dig site for Tol'vir. Seems I have gotten enough night elf parts to build a castle or two, those dig sites are everywhere and you are forced to dig them up to get another shot at Uldum sites.

hey blizz how about you allow us to swap out night elf pieces for Tol'vir pieces? Kind of like the system you have for trading honor for Justice or Justice for Honor? just a thought.

Doh Doh and Doh....

And I thought 75 was my target... errr

Seeking to complete a newly unlocked rare artifact? Then this post is for you!

There are six rare Tol'vir artifacts:

There is also one common artifact that alchemists will eagerly hunt for, as it has a chance of containing Recipe: Vial of the Sands:

Canopic Jar requiring 45 fragments with 2x Tol'vir Hieroglyphic that can be used

While I may not have solved all 32 archaeological rares (I have 24 thus far), after hundreds of hours dedicated to the cause I can say this - there is a method to the madness! And I say madness because archaeology is one profession that should not be taken lightly. Get ready to dig... Lots.

When you arrive at a dig site, take a look around you. The surrounding mobs will generally be the best indication of what kind of archaeological finds you may uncover while surveying there. If you're surrounded by ogres, or something less obvious, then consider what the local settlements are predominantly comprised of, or who the local lore is related to.

In the Hinterlands or STV you'll be surrounded by throngs of trolls - and whadya know, the Troll Archaeology Finds go hand in hand. Wetlands, Badlands and Burning Steppes are all known for their dwarven dwellings - and similarly, so are most the archaeological finds. If animals dominate the land, then appropriately you will often find fossils.

Archaeologically speaking, the Night Elves thoroughly dominate Kalimdor, Dwarves and Trolls the Eastern Kingdoms, and Fossils neatly scattered across both. Outlands are only for the Orcs and Draenei archaeological finds. While Northrend is proving most interesting with Night Elvish and Troll Fragments popping up in addition to the expected Nerubian and Vrykul Fragments. For anything Tol'Vir, it's all in Uldum and Uldum alone (will update if this changes). Unfortunately, dig site spawn locations in Uldum share the same continent as Kalimdor - maximum total of four. This means you're gonna have to keep digging Fossil & Night Elf Frags (among others) all over Kalimdor in order to possibly have the Uldum dig sites spawn. Stay tuned!

There are always exceptions to every rule, but you'll find by and large that the above theory holds true. For those of you seeking dig site locations only, see below.

Tol'vir Archaeology Fragments in the following dig site locations (revised and updated 29/02/12):

Kalimdor
Cata Uldum - Sixteen total dig sites spawn here (an increase from an original nine on Cata's first release), and all locations are Eureka-worthy regardless of where they spawn, so long as it's in ULDUM... (If only they spawned a little more often!):

Akhenet Fields
Keset Pass
Khartut's Tomb
Neferset City
Obelisk of the Stars
Orsis
Ruins of Ahmtul
Ruins of Ammon
Ruins of Khintaset
Sahket Wastes
Schnottz's Landing
Steps of Fate (south of the Halls of Origination)
Temple of Uldum
The Cursed Landing
Tombs of the Precursors (north of the Halls of Origination)
Vir'naal River Delta (near Lost City of Tol'vir)

Fossil Archaeology Fragments
Troll Archaeology Fragments
Dwarf Archaeology Fragments
Night Elf Archaeology Fragments
Draenei Archaeology Fragments
Orc Archaeology Fragments
Vrykul Archaeology Fragments
Nerubian Archaeology Fragments
Mogu Archaeology Fragments
Pandaren Archaeology Fragments

For a complete tally of ALL the archaeology solves you have slaved through, use the following macro (updated for MoP):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,12 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(9, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

This will produce a list like this:

Total artifacts
Dwarf: 44
Draenei: 11
Fossil: 64
Night Elf: 179
Nerubian: 4
Orc: 12
Tol'vir: 128
Troll: 87
Vrykul: 8
Pandaren: 25
Mogu: 26

If two archaeology digsites overlap, and you dig in the area they overlap... what is the meaning of Pi?

Commento di MatsuoLano

Hi all,

I've read that during the previous you needed to ding level 80 to unlock the Tol'vir dig sites. Can anyone confirm that this is still the case? Or is having a 450+ skill level in archaeology enough?

Thanks in advance!

Commento di thanatosearth

Apparently, Im not allowed to reply to hotdogee's comment at the top of this page (if you can explain to me why, I would appreciate it), but I have 525 archeaology skill on my level 82 warrior, and spent several hours doing arch spots in kalimdor and still not found a single spot in Uldum. So, either you need a certain level, as well as a certain rank, to find arch spots in Uldum, or I am just the unluckiest person on the planet. I have looked everywhere for a post that says you need a specific level to find spots in Uldum, but I haven't found anything about it. Just a tip for those of you who are too impatient to wait for the vial recipe.
