I am finding issues with the Dwarf Rune Stone as well as the Troll Tablet where I don't seem to be able to use them. I was able to use my first dward rune stone, then when I got a second one, I couldn't use that. The little "hexigon" simply wasn't there on the dwarf archaeology page. I late got a troll tablet which I could use, followed by another troll tablet that I couldn't use. Then I got another troll tablet, again I couldn't use it. A while later I got another dwarf rune stone, which I can now use, but still can't use the troll ones.

Does anyone know if this is a "rotating" keystone, where you can't use the same one twice in a row?

The rune shape is similar to Jah Rune in Diablo 2, it's just missing the dot.

I am doing dig sites in the eastern kingdoms and am up to skill level 117. I have noticed that of the 4 sites available in the eastern kingdoms, that only TROLL and NIGHT ELF have keystone slots available in my journal. I have a Dwarf Rune Stone in my inventory to use, but I have no slot to enter it in at my Dwarf page in my archaeology journal.

Does anyone have any information on why these slots open up at different times? Is it a bug? Are there requirements or circumstances that have to be met?

I believe it depends on the artifact being discovered.

It seems to be a combination of everyones assumptions. It looks like it has nothing to do with the number of fragments that an artifact requires, it is simply that some artifacts allow the use of these "power ups" and others do not.

I currently just turned in 4 Troll artifacts, and some of them allowed 1 Troll Tablet, and some allowed none. I also currently have a Night Elf artifact that allows 3 Highborn Scrolls, so it would appear that some artifacts will allow you to use multiple "power ups."

Apparently, high level projects needs these item to complete

when you complete a project, the next project to complete can be a rare or epic item, needing more fragment and 1--3 of these green items.

I would recommend to keep them in store for later !

It's because in order to use keystones, there has to be a minimum number of fragments required. For instance, you can't use it on artifacts that require less than 34, but anything that is 34 and above can for this given race. 2 runestones is usually 45 and above, and 3 runestones is for 100 fragments and above.

No project REQUIRES the use of keystones. Not all projects allow for them to be used. On Wowhead, if you go to database -> professions -> archaeology, you'll see a list of all possible projects, complete with a keystone column. As you can see, some projects allow for as many as 3 keystones to be used, each worth 12 fragments. At this time, I believe it wise to use keystones wherever you can and to not complete a project that allows for one until you have one.

At this point in time, it could very well be a bad RNG. I've already completed 18 troll projects, using keystones as able, still have 6 Troll Tablets in my bags, and have yet to uncover a single Dwarf Rune Stone.

Personally I don't think using the keystones is worthwhile unless you are really in a hurry or have loads of cash. I AH all mine for 50g each. I've sold 30 so far so that puts me 1500g closer to my epic flying mount! (my character is only 65 atm)

Well, that depends. A keystone gives 12 fragments. That's the same as one dig on average. (3 digs per site, each dig having a chance of giving you 3,4, or 5 fragments, or 4 on average. 3*4=12).
You have to judge what your time is worth versus what the worth of the keystone is on the AH.
If you think that in the time it would have taken you to find a dig for that race and dig it up on average that you could have made more gold doing other things (dailies, playing the AH, hawking your wares in trade chat), then by all means, use that keystone to free up time for other things.

However, if the keystone is selling for more gold than you think you could have made in the time you would have otherwise spent archaeolgy-ing, then sell the keystone on the AH if you found it, or don't buy it yet if you didn't.

People seem to forget the concept of opportunity cost all too often in this game.

Seems like those runes can be prospected. Happened to me today but got my runes back from a GM.

评论来自 Rkane

These don't drop from anything, don't be fooled by the "Dropped By" tab.

You can get these from digging in Dwarven dig sites and they can be used in projects that have the appropriate key stone slots.

I've noticed "strange sounds" occasionally while digging over the past few days, but I turned off my in game music to confirm. Every time I got a tablet or rune stone or something similar, I got a whisper. This last rune stone I just got, I heard the whisper, "You... will... die...". Yes, creepy. No, I'm not going nuts. I know what I heard! Anyone else reporting this? I couldn't find any comments mentioning it. I don't have any items in my inventory that would cause this.

评论来自 721254

So does anyone know if these "item level 20" rune stones and troll tablets, etc. can be saved up for when you're making artifacts that are really big or will they be useless by then?

评论来自 776374

Yeah this officially freaked me out hearing these. It was bad enough that I was sleep deprived from hunting for the Troll sword Zin'Rokh, then I start hearing weird voices. I kinda knew it was the game but when you're this tired you've no idea what to believe lol. Glad I found out I'm not going insane though!

Time to go to bed I think...

With the 4.0.6 change that caps each race's fragment count at 200, it is good to know that you won't lose fragments if your total exceeds 200 using keystones to solve an artifact.

I tested this while surveying Draenei sites and working on Arrival of the Naaru. My fragment count reached 165; I used 3 keystones, bringing my total to 201 and solved. I ended up with 77 fragments after solving this 124-fragment artifact.
201-124=77. No loss! :)

Keep in mind that these are not soulbound, so you can buy/sell/trade if needed.

Has anybody else gotten 2-3 to drop per artifact dig?

I just started up archaeology again to acquire the new pets, and noticed to be getting 2-3 runes on some of them. Upon looting, I'd get the fragments, and then multiple rune stones per dig.

Is this a bug, or something that they changed to make the grind a little less painful?

评论来自 TheGrimSage

Might you be in a level 23+ guild? According with the coments at Bountiful bags, those extra runes would be related to that guild perk.

am I the first one noticing that the icon image is almost identical to a diablo 2 Jah rune ?

After reading a ton of comments, I felt like I was going crazy because I couldn't find the appropriate checkbox on my DBM. Turns out they took it out and packaged it as a separate addon, DBM-Archaeology.

From Curse:

Originally just put in DBM-Core as a bit of humor during a test phase. The sounds became quite popular and when removed from last DBM release got numerous requests from users wanting them back. Since archaeology sounds don't really belong in the base mod, I decided to bring that feature back in plugin form!.

Now you can enjoy all your old god whispers in your dig sites. What this mod does is play a random C'thun and Yogg Saron whispers from the game files any time you loot a keystone. Archaeology is a profession meddling with the ancient artifacts of azeroth yet no one is paying any mind ot you. This plugin gives archaeology a bit of RP when the old gods whisper you as if they are noticing you meddling with things you should not be, giving archaeology that feel it should have had to begin with.

Hopefully that will save someone the stress of thinking they just couldn't see what was right in front of them, which is the problem I thought I was having.

What is it?
矮人符文石 is the ultimate supplement to getting through your Dwarven solves much quicker. To break it down:

It is an archaeological keystone that can substitute 12 fragments for each slot/socket you can place one into
Some archaeology solves will allow for up to three keystones to be used - open your archaeology pane and look for the empty 'sockets' that may appear at the bottom to determine how many you might be able to use
You are not required to use keystones when solving archaeological artifacts, but it certainly can speed up the process
There are some artifacts that will not allow for any keystones at all
This keystone can also be used in a daily quest in a couple of Cataclysm dungeons which will give your party a tiny buff (not many people will bother using them in this way)

Examples:

发条侏儒 = 100 Dwarf Archaeology Fragments; or
发条侏儒 = 64 Dwarf Archaeology Fragments + 3 矮人符文石

巫王索瑞森的法杖 = 150 Dwarf Archaeology Fragments; or
巫王索瑞森的法杖 = 114 Dwarf Archaeology Fragments + 3 矮人符文石

Where do I get it?
There are only two main sources for 矮人符文石:

Digging - when surveying and digging at archaeological Dwarven dig sites around Azeroth you will have a small chance to occasionally see one of these along with the Dwarf Archaeology Fragments you collect. The following is a list of all known Dwarf archaeological dig sites:

Eastern Kingdoms
- Arathi Highlands - Thoradin's Wall
- Badlands - Uldaman, Hammertoe's Digsite, Bloodwatcher Point, Agmond's End, south-east of Agmond's End
- Burning Steppes - Chiselgrip, Ruins of Thaurissan
- Hillsbrad Foothills - Dun Garok
- Hinterlands - Aerie Peak
- Loch Modan - Ironband's Excavation Site
- Searing Gorge - Pyrox Flats, Slag Pit, Iron Summit, Grimsilt Dig Site
- Southshore - south of Eastpoint Tower
- Wetlands - Dun Modr, Whelgar's Excavation Site, Angerfang Encampment, Ironbeard's Tomb
- Cata Twilight Highlands - (in the valley leading to) Grim Batol, Dunwald Ruins, Ruins of Drakgor, Glopgut's Hollow, Firebeard's Patrol
- Southern Barrens - Bael Modan
- The auction house - these are readily available most of the time and on average are worth up to 100-150g depending on your server (approximates current as at 4.3.3)
- If you're digging in Pandaria and trading in your 修复的遗物 for 一箱矮人考古碎片 with 布莱恩·铜须, there is also a chance you can receive one in the 一箱矮人考古碎片

What cool items can I use it for?

If you are an archaeologist then you can start digging at Dwarven dig sites (when they spawn) and speed up solving Dwarven artifacts.

Alternatively, if you don't want to use 矮人符文石 yourself, you can sell them on the auction house and make a neat profit.

There are four rare Dwarf artifacts:

巫王索瑞森的法杖 requiring 150 fragments with 3x 矮人符文石 that can be used (I am yet to unlock this precious)
旅店老板的女儿 requiring 150 fragments with 3x 矮人符文石 that can be used (my 17th Dwarven solve)
发条侏儒 requiring 100 fragments with 3x 矮人符文石 that can be used (my 6th Dwarven solve)
山丘之王的圣杯 requiring 100 fragments with 3x 矮人符文石 that can be used (my 13th Dwarven solve)

How many other keystones are available and which races are they for?
These are all of the available keystones:

Draenei - 德莱尼书典
Dwarf - 矮人符文石
Fossil - sadly, there are no keystones for Fossil artifacts
Nerubian - 蛛魔方尖碑
Mogu - 魔古雕像碎片 - NEW with Mists of Pandaria
Night Elf - 上层精灵的卷轴
Orc - 兽人血符文书
Pandaren - 熊猫人陶器碎片 - NEW with Mists of Pandaria
Tol'vir - 托维尔符文
Troll - 巨魔石板
Vrykul - 维库符文短棒

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
