How to get the 85 Hunter Gun with arch?

[Bloodskillz]

Hello I have a level 85 Horde Druid with 600 arch, (neutral with lorewalkers) and i cannot seem to get a mantid digsite, so i was wondering how i do this? i have 2 level 90s please do explain

This is a new Archaeology race added in Patch 5.2. Mantid dig sites can be discovered in Townlong Steppes and the Dread Wastes. You can also use the Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator, that is purchased for 1 Restored Artifact, and stack to 20.

can i do mantid archaeology at lvl 85? - Forums - World of Warcraft but i think your the one who made that thread also seeing as its a druid asking about the gun. But hey could just be a coincidence.

hope this helps.

not me, and so i can't baseically because those things to force mantid digsites require level 90 to use

Looks like it. But I don't know 100% since I haven't tried it. So if your lvl 90s have arch that's probably the best route to go.

The mantid digsites spawn in townlong steppes and dread wastes, so i think that you must be 88+ if not 90 for them to spawn.

there is no real proof of any1 digging mantid on a low'er lvl toon..

it does seem like there is a lvl requirement on the spawns...

What I have done is, just get Archaeology on your lvl 90 char, do the achievment rec for Lorewalkers exalted (flying around mostly, takes about 1-2 hours) and then buy the Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator .
That will make it that only Mantid digsites will appear. Also at lvl 90 Mantid digsites will appear from time to time even though you're not using said item but not very often. I don't think u can get Mantid stuff at lvl 85, but not 100% certain.
