Archaeology News Latest update: No new content in ShadowlandsDragonflightThe War Within

New Races: "TBA" "TBA"

Blizzard has announced that they haven't been able to make Archaeology any more interesting or interactive since it's impementation in Cataclysm.

"It´s been going on for so long that we can´t just stop it now"

The shadowlands has plenty of artefacts to discover, but they are still taking a break since they wanted it to be the discovery of Azeroth´s history. It might get an update in a future patch

Battle for Azeroth

New Races: "Drust" and "Zandalari"

There is now 5 digsites each on Kul Tiras and Zandalar. It rotates 5 around each island and it won't end up with 10 on one of the isles.

You will get 5-9 fragments each dig and there is 9 digs per site.

We're back to the old fashion farming method where you randomly get a rare when solving, since they now cost fragments.

Legion

New Races: "Demonic" , "Highborne" and "Highmountain Taurens"

There are now 3 digsites at a time (down from 4) and they are in a smaller area than before so you don't have to run all over the red marked area.

New visual icon over your head. A buff too, indicating you're inside of a dig site.

Legion Crate Vendor: Dariness the Learned.

Pick up Excavator's Notebook when excavating in Broken Isles to increase maximum skill to 800.

There is now an Archaeology building in Dalaran where you pick up quests and train with Dariness the Learned. She hands you a quest every 2 weeks to get one of the rare solves which rotates.

Wowhead's Official Legion Overview Guide

Warlords of Draenor

New races: "Arakkoa" , "Draenor Clans" and "Ogre" - To teleport around Draenor getting them easier you should use Draenor Archaeologist's Lodestone

You get 6 9 digs in each area, ~~making up for the lack of flying in Draenor~~.

They removed the way of progressing by having to visit a trainer to unlock the next stage (600-700) in professions. Now you dig up Brittle Cartography Journal

Just like in Pandaria, there will be a mob occasionally spawning that will give you additional fragments.

You will be getting a Restored Artifact for every solve you do in Draenor. Trade them in at Srikka Grakis

In the Spires of Arakkoa, there are several jumping puzzles like on Timeless Isle where you loot chests for fragments. (Flying made these quite easy)

You will be getting pristine versions of finds more often, and they will show up in your Garrison. Like in the Seat of Knowledge in Pandaria.

Mists of Pandaria

Races: "Mantid" , "Mogu" and "Pandaren"

You get a Restored Artifact for every solve you do in Pandaria

You can buy a Restored Artifact for 3 Spirit of Harmony from the vendors Danky Krystel

From Brann Bronzebeard in Seat of Knowledge you can turn these in for a Crate from earlier expansions. Each crate contains equal to 1 dig in desired race's digsite (5-9 Fragments)

For the quickest way to farm Mantid fragments:

Buy Mantid Artifact Hunter's Kit (Cost: 2 Restored Artifact) which contains Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator and Lorewalker's Map

Have Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator in your bags the whole time you are farming, it has a 1 Day CD and does NOT disappear when you log out of the game, so if you use the Mantid Artifact Hunter's Kit at 12:00pm server time, you can still farm at 11:00am the next day before you buy a new one.

You might wonder why you got a Lorewalker's Map in your bags too, that is because now the other digsites you may have in Pandaria is obsolete/deactivated and you have to use the Map to discard old digsites and create new ones around Townlong Steppes and Dread Wastes.

I think you forgot Tyrande's Favourite Doll lvl 85 Healing/Int trinket, requires 150 fragments.

评论来自 free2bmenow

Regarding Recipe: Vial of the Sands. Do I have to be in uldum when I open the canopic jar in order to receive the Recipe drop? There seems to be some confusion as to whether there is a zone position requirement?

评论来自 davimallmann

You are also missing the and .

评论来自 Nystel

I am new to Archaeology. So that means I am leveling it up in WoD. Should I stay in Draenor to do so or do it the old and go from zone to zone? Will I still get some of the old world item, pets, mounts, etc by staying Draenor? Thank you.

Tips to collect 30 rares 寻找事实，而非真理

1)The best class for this is a druid but if you're like me and queue Bg's and Hdungs while digging you might end up with a non druid class...

1.2) For achievement hunters: wait for hallow's end event you will get instant cast on flying with the magic broom.

2) Try to do the achievement Draenor Curator ( all pristines) first: you will get at least 350 crates to complete olders xpac archeology at the seat of knowledge by buying fragments.
Choose your race well( go to tip4)

Ex.: Had 300 crates to use after the achievement and got very lucky at the seat of knowledge got 5 rares, 1 fossilized raptor and a crawling claw. (All Tol'vir and Nelf for me)

3) Try to buy keystones at the AH to cut time. Auctionator List: dwarf rune, vrykul rune, highborne scroll, mantid amber, pandaren pottery, mogu statue, nerubian obelisk, arakkoa cipher,orator cane, tol'vir hieroglyphic, ogre missive, troll tablet, Orc Blood Text, Draenei Tome (no fossil keystone available)

4) Choose the best rare/race ratio to survey:

Nelf(7), Tol'vir(6), Fossil(5), Dwarf(4), Troll(3)
(2):Vrykul, Nerubian, Draenei ,Mantid, Pandaren, Mogu, Arakkoa, Draenor clans, Ogre
(1) Orc

5) The best region to survey

#1 Kalimdor: Only place for Nelf(7), Tol'vir(6). Some Troll (3), Fossil(5) in Tanaris and Ungoro
#2 Eastern Kingdoms: Only place for Dwarf(4). Some Troll(3) Some Fossil(5)

*********************************************************************************************************
Fact: This is most boring achievement to do in the game, ever! (cap this at 30: been there done that)
Truth: If you continue to dig for achievements every Xpac you will become an artifact yourself!

===================Hidden Bonus==========The Gnomish surveyor macro ========

I haven't found a great list of all the Archaeology Keystones in the game, so here goes! Let me know if I leave anything out.

评论来自 HordeFanboy

you cant buy 修复的遗物 anymore

评论来自 Phoenixbeard

Depending on what you mean by "Legion crate turn-in" is wrong. You can turn-in restored artifacts to Dariness the Learned for fragments up until WoD archaeology.

As far as Dariness giving you a quest for a rare every 2 weeks, I personally haven't run into this. Legion is now just over 3 weeks old. I have 1 completed rare. Which I don't even remember doing. Unless it's from completing the another quest that doesn't state the reward is completion of a rare.

After completing a quest from the Blood Elf by Illidari Stand in Azsuna. I completed another Rare. Still nothing from Dariness YET.

评论来自 AldursApprentice

I am really disappointed in BFA archaeology where the pristine objects come into play. This was my "suggestion" to the Dev team:

"Don't mean to be sarcastic, but exactly why are we putting pristine archaeology finds 'on display' in a cluttered, out of the way, and cramped basement? I'd really like to see this moved to somewhere a LOT nicer. I know that won't happen, but sometimes you just gotta try. Thanks."

This may seem petty, but archaeology has always been a time-sucker, and, with where many of the BFA sites are, it's now even more so. I'd just like a little more quality in my "museum."

I am so disappointed with Arch. and basically everything that has been done with Profs., and secondaries. I think i already have all the "rares" from BFA and sadly they all blow. TOYS really. Loved when this first came out they took a lot of time created great story for all the items hell some were current and could be used for raids. What do we get with this I can summon frogs, and do pet battle with my revived artifact things. Blizzard what is the deal you keep taking and taking all secondary options away from people who are casual. I'm sorry but when animals were not rabid or didn't scale you could do secondary things for FUN. Now arch is a constant battle with the pieces always seeming to spawn just close enough for the add to attack. You basically turned every profession into an insane grind. I have had issues login in since Legion and this content isn't much better. It's just new correction was now it all a time since gated by Blizzard.

评论来自 GraysonCarlyle

"and there is 8 digs per site."

There are 9, just like the last 2 expansions.

评论来自 Brovori

I have managed to complete Archaeology and have all 63/63 rare artifacts solved that are in the game. Honestly, this is not a farm that I can recommend to the sane-minded people out there. However, if you do want to collect all the solves, then do NOT do this farm without having something to watch/listen to. Here is my breakdown of all the races and number of their corresponding solves; (I'm posting this knowingly to discourage any of you to ever commence this torture)

Drust: 72
Zandalari: 96
Demonic: 131
Highmountain Tauren: 115
Highborne: 270
Ogre: 136
Draenor Clans: 303
Arakkoa: 221
Mogu: 829
Pandaren: 505
Mantid: 5622
Vrykul: 22
Troll: 659
Tol'vir: 1677
Orc: 11
Nerubian: 34
Night Elf: 951
Fossil: 658
Draenei: 16
Dwarf: 812

Total: 13,140 Solves

Quiet honestly, I don't think anyone on EU/US or any other region has more solves than this, I consider this to be a very unlucky run. Had to solve 1,000+ Tol'vir trash for the Staff of Ammunae alone.

1 - 750
Surveying dig sites at Broken Isle is the fastest way to level Archaeology to 750 because you can survey each dig site 9 times, and the dig sites are confined to one zone, so you will get to each dig site much faster. (The zone where you can find dig sites changes every two weeks)

Alternatives:

You can level until 700 in Draenor. You will also get 9 skill points from dig sites in Draenor, but you will have to travel more between dig sites.
You can level until 600 in Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. But, you will only get 6 skill points from each dig site, and you will have to travel a lot more between dig sites, so these continents are much slower.
You can also level to 600 in Outland (from 300), Northrend (from 375), and Pandaria (from 525) once you have high enough Archaeology skill.
750 - 950
You could do the 750-800 part at the Broken Isle, but from around 750, looting the fragments at dig sites will give skill points much less frequently, so I recommend switching to Zandalar or Kul Tiras.

And for the last 150 points, you can only gain skill points by surveying in Zandalar or Kul Tiras dig sites, and solving artifacts won't give any skill points anymore.

As you get closer to 950, you will get skill points much less frequently. The last 30-40 points will be really slow, you will sometimes have to clear multiple dig sites just to gain a single skill point.

Hey Blizzard.

You think that Azerothian Archives bull is a good replacement for Archaeology? NO! I could easily come up with Digsites for both DF and TWW off the top of my head:

Dragonflight Digsite Types:

Dragonflights
Djaradin
Maruukai Centaurs

The War Within Digsites Types:

Earthen
Kobolds
Kaheti Nerubians

Rare/Epic Artifacts:

Dragonflights:

Skeletal Proto-Drake Dragonflying Mount: Lore is it's one of Galakronds' notable victims that one of the Aspects personally knew.
Cosmetic Scarlet Robes: Lore is it's a gift that the High Elves had made for Alexstrazsa that she enjoyed wearing in her visage.
Black Dragon breastplate Customization for Highland Drake: Lore is it's a prototype Armor similar to what Deathwing would later bear

Djaradin:

Magmammoth Taxi Mount: Lore it's an enchanted saddle made for Djaradin Warbands.
Djaradin Poleaxe: Lore is it's the Two-Handed Axe of a powerful Djaradin chieftain.

Maruukai Centaurs:

Ghostly Bakar Mount: Lore it's the first Bakar that was tamed on the Dragon Isles.

Earthen:

Titan Watcher Battle Pet: Lore is she's Nogli, one of the Titan Watchers that was assigned to the Coreway by Archaedas alongside Watchers Dornic and Galan who served as public relations between the Watchers and the Earthen, only to be ignored by her larger Watcher compatriots when she relayed the gripes of the Earthen and warnings about trying to change course.

Kobolds:

Big Candle Toy: Lore is that it's a candle made in the likeness of Beledar indicating that the Hallowfall Arathi weren't the first ones to notice and be drawn by it.

Kaheti Nerubians:

Skittershaw Rostrum-Modifiable Mount: Lore is it's the personal Skittershaw of the Kaheti Dynasties many Queens, and was rumored to have been lost in the time of Queen Neferess' grandmother.
