In order to find Fragments you need to use your Survey skill. When you get to your local digsite you’ll want to start finding some Fragments (of historical value) right away. All digsites are player-specific! This means that you don’t have to worry about any other players stealing your finds like they can with Mining or Herbalisim.Digsites become available on more continents (like Outland and Northrend) as you get to higher skill levels.A new digsite will appear at a random place on the continent after you clear a currently available digsite.A digsite will disappear after you Survey and find fragments 3 times.There are only 4 digsites on any continent at any time.Here are some basic facts about digsites: (If you don’t see any Digsites marked on your main map, make sure the “Show Digsites” box is checked. You can only use your survey ability while you are in one of these zones. If you click on a zone on the main map they will show up as a reddish-orange (or sometimes gray) overlay.

Digsites show up on your main map as little shovel icons.

They are the only place you can use your Survey ability. Ok, first and most important are Digsites. Up to 100 skill you get skillups for just looting the fragments, however, after that you only get skillups by “Solving” Artifacts. (Or look here for our review.)īefore I go over all the details I want to give you one tip (just in case you’ve already started digging things up.) Don’t “Solve” any Artifacts till you have reached 100 skill or very close to it. To hit 85 as fast as possible and max out your Archaeology you should check out this leveling guide. I highly recommend you level your Archaeology as you level your character so that when you start getting the good items from Archaeology you will actually be able to use them. Just sit back and read on! I’ll give you all the details you need get to Illustrious Grand Master Archaeologist as fast as possible. There are also a few things you should do while leveling up to gain skill the fastest in and get the great new items and achievements avalible at the higher skill levels. It’s a fairly straightforward profession, however there are some points where it can get a bit confusing. Now that Cataclysm is out and many people are hitting 85, there are probably a lot of you wondering about the new secondary profession, Archaeology.
