Archaeology in Draenor
Once again, there are three new branches to uncover with a chance to dig up the Brittle Cartography Journal as long as you possess a minimum archaeology skill of 575 (reduced to 1 in Patch 6.1). Things to note: Four active digsites will be up at any time. Each location may be dug up 9 times giving you 5-9 fragments. You can hold up to 200 fragments at any one time (changing to 250 in Patch 6.1 to avoid situations like this). Common...
Steamwheedle Preservation Society
Gazmolf Futzwangler is in Nagrand recruiting members for the Steamwheedle Preservation Society , the archaeological branch of the Steamwheedle Cartel.

Archaeology Pets
The following pets are available through various branches of the archaeology profession. Dwarf Clockwork Gnome – requires 100x Dwarf Fragments (including up to 3x Dwarf Rune Stones) Flavour text: Mechagnomes were created by the titans, apparently as servants and caretakers, much like the earthen. This mechagnome was likely damaged because it is no longer focused on its original tasks and seems content to follow you. Fossil...
Watch Your Progress
Yesterday I was in the mood to work on some archaeology and noticed something quite different. Now I’m not sure if this was added in the last patch or not but check out this neat little progress bar. I used to use Archy which could tell you the same kind of thing but I’m all for using less addons. So after working through a few digs in Kalimdor, I eventually saw this: Hello Uldum :) Share...
History of the Mantid
Last night I was short just one Pristine Mantid artifact and even though I only had Mantid digs today, it still took around 100 artifacts before I had the Pristine Praying Mantid I needed. I was getting so sick of Mantid digs, I even completed the Feeding Pit site a couple of times after being teleported there with my Lorewalker’s Lodestones. That should give you an indication of how badly I wanted to finish History of the Mantid. But...
Seeker of Knowledge
The achievement to find and display all the pristine versions of all Pandaren and Mogu artifacts in The Seat of Knowledge is finally complete. I must admit, I never thought it would be so hard to finish, especially since I’ve only been short one pristine artifact for months but as one of my tracked objectives, it was definitely one of the more doable ones on the list – albeit time-consuming. As a result, over the last few...
