| + | == Objectives == |
||
| − | '''Archaeology''' is a secondary [[profession]] released in the expansion, ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. It: |
||
| + | Collect 6 Arcane Core from the [[Arcane Patroller]]s that roam the ruins of [[Silvermoon City]] and bring them to [[Magister Jaronis]] at [[Falconwing Square]] in [[Eversong Woods]]. |
||
| + | *[[Arcane Core]] (6) |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | *Provides players with a casual profession to enjoy in their "downtime".<ref name="Eurogamer">http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-e3-2010-hands-on</ref> |
||
| + | The arcane patrollers crafted by our forefathers to protect the city have fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair. They fail to recognize us as their masters and will attack us on sight! |
||
| − | *Focuses on locating, piecing together, and appraising artifacts unearthed by the Cataclysm.<ref name="Eurogamer"/> |
||
| − | *Allows you to interact with artifacts you find in a manner similar to other gathering professions. It has been specifically stated that you will be able to track both artifacts and your regular tracked objects for gathering professions (e.g. herbs or ore). Instead of tracking individual nodes, you will instead search marked regions on the world map, given by a shovel icon when viewing an entire continent or by a red enclosed region when viewing a single zone. |
||
| − | *Produces completed artifacts that go into your inventory, and creates an entry in your archaeology journal describing the artifacts you completed. |
||
| − | *Unlocks unique rewards such as vanity pets, mounts, and other "toys", with occasional [[rare]] and [[epic]] quality weapons or armor.<ref name="Eurogamer"/> |
||
| − | *Expands players' knowledge of the game's [[lore]] by filling in plot holes and documenting the history of the world as it was before the Cataclysm.<ref name="Eurogamer"/> Players will reportedly be able to compile what amounts to a lore database.<ref>http://pc.ign.com/articles/109/1096848p1.html</ref> |
||
| + | Even though they were created many years ago, the arcane cores that power them are still quite useful and valuable to us. I want you to gather these cores and bring them to me so I can put them to good use again. You will find the patrollers in the ruined section of Silvermoon, to the northwest. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Upon learning the archaeology secondary [[profession]], the player receives the ability [[Survey]]. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | There are nine fields of research players can explore, each relating to a race in the game, such as troll, night elf, dwarf, and tol'vir. |
||
| + | Have you succeeded in gathering the arcane cores yet, <name>? |
||
| + | == Completion == |
||
| − | Using the surveying skill, players gather [[Archaeology Fragment]]s of one type (e.g. [[Dwarf Archaeology Fragment]]) from [[Archaeology rewards|Archaeology Finds]] of the same type. They can then solve the current stage of this race's research and will receive an item upon doing so. |
||
| + | You've done well, <name>. With our arcane sanctums not operating at full capacity, these power cores will go a long way in supplementing our needs. |
||
| − | == |
+ | == Rewards == |
| + | *You will receive {{cost||1}} |

||
| − | + | == Gains == |
|
| + | *450 [[XP]] |
||
| − | Once [[Archaeology]] is trained, you can see dig sites on your continent map (but not the mini-map). There are always four dig sites per continent. These will not change until you dig all the fragments out of any one site. |
||
| + | *250 [[reputation]] with [[Silvermoon City]] |
||
| + | ==Patch changes== |
||
| − | Your dig sites appear in level-appropriate zones. Players will not be able to survey in Outland or Northrend until they have reached the minimum level to enter those zones. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | == Quest progression == |
||
| − | Sites are race-specific. You can usually discern the race by the location, and some race locations are only available on some continents. You need both a minimum character level and a minimum archaeology level to use some sites. |
||
| + | #{{questlong|Horde|5|Major Malfunction}} |
||
| − | There is no competition for dig sites; each site is player-specific. |

||
| − | ===Finds and fragments === |
||
| − | Each dig site can be searched three times before it despawns and a new site spawns. To search a dig site, use the {{ability|Survey}} ability. The surveying tool will spawn and point in the approximate direction of the artifact; it looks like a telescope with a small flashing light on a pole next to it, and the telescope points the direction. The color of the light and the rate at which it flashes tell you how far you are from a find: red means you are far away, yellow means you are close, and green means you may be within 40 yards or so. When you are very close, about 10 to 15 yards or so, the light will flash extremely quickly. When you loot your find, you'll get several fragments specific to a particular race, and may get a [[keystone]]. Each site yields only finds specific to one race. Note that unearthed archeology finds will despawn if they aren't looted quickly enough, so be careful about surveying in combat. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are two main strategies to surveying. The first strategy involves attempting to triangulate by moving around the outer edge of a dig site. However, due to the inaccuracy of the directional indicator (the find may be anywhere in a frontal cone of about 75 degrees) this will often prove to not provide sufficient information for locating finds. The farther away from the [[wikipedia:theodolite|theodolite]], the greater the area that can include the find. The second strategy involves some [[wikipedia:orienteering|orienteering]], heading in the general direction indicated and for approximate distance indicated and survey again from that position, to "zero in" on the artifacts, using geographical landmarks to help locate finds. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Being aware of the landscape can help locate finds as well. Consider that the fragments are not "randomly" placed. Spawn points were placed by designers who utilize their "design aesthetics" in placing them. Consider the landscape and proximity to geographic features and existing non-fragment ruins and animal bones when choosing a location to survey. This can speed up your location of fragments. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The fact that each digsite only a few find nodes allows gathering addons such as Gatherer or Gather Mate to aid in archeaology. Addons such as Archaeology Helper, S.A.L. and ArcheoTriangle aid in triangulation and orienteering. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Artifacts === |
||
| − | When you get a new kind of fragment, you'll start a research project. You can only work on one artifact per race at a time. When you have enough fragments, click <code>Solve</code> to complete that artifact. You cannot waste excess fragments: if you have leftover fragments, they will just apply to the next project. You can accordingly save many fragments of one kind and solve several projects in a row. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most artifacts are common. These give a bit of lore or flavor text and an item you can sell for a small profit. You can estimate the value of the artifact by the number of fragments required to finish it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Subsequent instances of a given artifact for a race will not be solvable until ''all'' the available artifacts of that race and skill level have been found at least once (with the exception of rare artifacts). |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some artifacts are rare, and make a blue or purple item. Many of these are toys, or for flavor, but some are actual weapons and armor. Weapons and armor are [[Bind to Account|bound to account]], but will not scale like [[heirloom]]s do. Also, such artifacts can only be solved once per character. |

||
| − | |||
| − | ==Levels== |
||
| − | Archaeology uses the same leveling scheme as the other secondary [[Profession|professions]]. Players begin as apprentices with zero skill points, and gain points by practicing archaeology skills. Players may reach 525 skill points in archaeology. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Until skill point 60, players receive one skill point for every successful collection of archaeology fragments. As there are three sets of fragments per dig site, at first players will gain three archaeology skill points per dig site. However, at skill point 60, collection of a fragment goes green, meaning that players will no longer consistently receive skill points for collecting fragments. Fragment collection goes gray at skill point 100, after which archaeology can only be increased by completing artifacts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At all levels, players receive five skill points for creating a common artifact and 15 skill points for completing a rare artifact. It may be advantageous to save all artifact fragments until 100 archaeology, however completing artifacts allows increased frament yields and the possibility of obtaining keystones. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Apprentice archaeologists (skill points 0–74) receive two to four fragments per survey, for a maximum of 12 fragments per site. |
||
| − | * Journeyman (skill points 75–149), expert (skill points 150–224), and artisan (skill points 225-299) archaeologists receive three to five fragments per survey, up to 15 fragments per site. Starting at the journeyman level, players also occasionally collect [[Keystone|keystones]], each worth 12 fragments, that can speed artifact construction. (This depends on the project; only some projects permit their use. See the [[Archaeology rewards|archaeology rewards]] page for fuller details.) |
||
| − | * Master (skill points 375-449) receive three to six fragments per survey, up to 18 fragments per site. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Apprentice archaeologists can only construct [[Gray|poor-quality]] artifacts. Journeyman and expert archaeologists will start to see [[Rare|rare-quality]] projects come up (see [[Archaeology rewards|archaeology rewards]] for more information). Most of these rare items have merely cosmetic effects, but players can also construct non-combat pets and other highly desirable items. Players also get new titles upon reconstructing enough rare-quality artifacts: [[I Had It in My Hand|Assistant Professor]] for the first rare reconstructed item, [[What was Briefly Yours is Now Mine|Associate Professor]] for 10 rare reconstructed artifacts, and [[It Belongs in a Museum!|Professor]] for 20 rare artifacts. (These titles correspond to tenure-track faculty ranks in North American universities.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Archaeology levels also limit what kind of artifacts players can make. Players begin by collecting fragments for dwarf, night elf, and troll artifacts, as well as natural fossils, such as shells and fossilized ferns. At higher levels, players can research artifacts from different cultures, which will take them deeper into the lore. The higher-level archaeology racial project pages (e.g. orc or tol'vir) are not available to players until they have reached the appropriate level and have collected some fragments for a given type, though players can always see the greyed-out, untitled, and unclickable icons of not-yet-accessible cultures on the "Races" page of the archaeology journal. As soon as players hit the appropriate point level and make one successful dig at a new kind of site, that section of the journal is fully opened (e.g. a player can first see the draenei section of his archaeology journal upon hitting 300 archaeology and collecting his first draenei archaeology fragments). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Zones and dig sites== |
||
| − | {{main|Dig site}} |
||
| − | Archaeology dig sites can be found on all four continents. There are four dig sites on each continent available at any one time. Dig sites are available based on player skill. However, compared to other gathering professions, there is no competition between players. Upon reaching a dig site, players will be able to collect their three finds before the dig site dries up and a new one is made available. Even if other players are searching at the site, the finds are individual to each player. |

Description
The arcane patrollers crafted by our forefathers to protect the city have fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair. They fail to recognize us as their masters and will attack us on sight!

Progress
Have you succeeded in gathering the arcane cores yet, <name>?
Completion
You've done well, <name>. With our arcane sanctums not operating at full capacity, these power cores will go a long way in supplementing our needs.
