LF Archaeology tips and facts

[blue09]

Hello, everyone! As you all know, all of the secondary proffesions took a hit with 6.2, and the vet accounts got it worse, because of the archaeology bug (cant loot the fragments). So, I have made another starter account, linked with my vet one, just for the purpose of leveling this proff. I would like to know what class and faction would be best for archaeology farming,what areas are better; I'm open to all tips and suggestions, all bits of knowledge you have about this, are welcome.

Dwarves have an archaeology bonus and hunters have fast-killing-annoying-crap bonus, so I'd go with that. Can you expand Your thought about not being able to loot fragments? I've never heard about that thing.

I just tested and found no problem doing archaeology as a starter

This probably affects those who have done DMF quests, i can't think of any other explanation.

No,no, that problem is only for vet accounts, after the subscribing period expire (Also, you get locked out of some recipes for all prof). There was a thread about this, somewhere here,like stuff you can do only as F2P vs Vet. Also, I think you could start loot the fragments in the 10 days trial period.

Agreed. My vet is stuck at 1 archeology, so I have been searching for rares on my starter.

I have focused on Night Elf artifacts by cycling between the 4 areas in Ashenvale (+1 just north on the Darkshore island). Over 100 solves = some Statue Set and a Mirror, but no Bones of Transformation... /growl.
