You thought finding the last Pristine item for Le siège de la Connaissance was a nightmare? Uh... prepare for your worse nightmare yet...

Commentaire de Drakhanas

Unless there's an awesome reward for this, I don't see many people bothering with the headache this is gonna give.

Commentaire de brunokbcao

I'm sure they will be changing this for rewarding at least a title. C'mon! This looks insane. Give us a tabard or something.

Commentaire de 1385144

It took me forever to get the "Seeker of Knowledge" title. I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope Blizzard just hasn't add a title or something to the achievement. It takes time to make something truly epic right? RIGHT? >_>

Commentaire de ilostmahbucket

Having completed The Seat of Knowledge, upon discovering this achievement I was instantly debuffed with Broken Resolve and for some reason There Is No Hope appeared in my quest log. Then I had a nightmare that night that I would have to do the Seat of Knowledge again without being able to fly.

Commentaire de shihao0

As an achievement hunter... this.... is gonna be a nightmare

Commentaire de elmoreraider

Gotta admit, looking at this achieve scares me. Seat of Knowledge was already a pain to complete, but this many looks to be nearly insane. Here's to hoping something is added as a reward for doing this crazy achieve.

Commentaire de Dziewona

So... No one else seems to have commented on the fact that 'Pristine Dreamcatcher' is on there like...ten times.

Anyone know what's up with that?

Commentaire de Casn

~~As far as I can tell with my limited data, Draenor solves can become pristine only if you have ability to display them, so only after upgrading Garrison to lvl3~~
Pristine Solves do not require Garrison lvl3 to appear, nor they require lvl 100 or any specific archoelogy skill. My 99 alt managed to get pristine on his second solve while at 10 skill. So there is no reason not to solve them as soon as you get them.
However, to accept their quest you have to be lvl100, and also have Garrison at lvl3 (thank Miphos for this bit).

Commentaire de Jhelrok

I took one look at this achieve, turned around 360 degrees and walked away...

Commentaire de Skardes

I got this Achievement 1 month into the Expansion with a total of 836 solves which took me around ~ 70 - 90 hours. (Times may vary)

The multiple Dreamcatcher's listed in this Achievement appears to be a mistake. For some reason when you turn in one of the Arakkoa Pristine Artifacts both the Pristine Artifact you have just completed and one of the Dreamcatcher's will turn green.

As soon as you have completed 1 of the 3 Factions (Draenor, Ogre, Arakkoa) I would suggest you to earn Exalted status with the Arakkoa Outcast.

Once you have reached Exalted go to Warspear or Stormshield and buy Draenor Archaeologist's Map and Draenor Archaeologist's Lodestone from Srikka (Horde) or Grakis (Alliance) for one Restored Artifact each.

The Map will reallocate the positions of the Digsites but most importantly it also changes the factions which will increase the chance of getting the Digsites you need.
This will safe you a lot of time since the Reputation grinding will "only" take ~ 7 hours to get from Revered to Exalted.
(Times may vary if you do it in a group or by yourself)

You can also make the use of an Addon called "Archy" where you can see the current active Digsites in a sepperate window.

Commentaire de Rqsb

Just got this achievement today with a total of 746 solves (159 Arakkoa - 111 Ogre - 476 Draenor Clans)

The first solves were quite easy and I had an estimate of 10% chance of getting a pristine. My calculations were right until I got 6 out of 39 remaining (had around 350 solves by then). Then everything went wrong and it took me over 400 solves to get these last 6 ones (I went pretty mad on the very last one which was a Draenor Clans one - the gronn tooth necklace. Since you have a pool of 19 items, even getting the artifact on your log to solve is already an achievement)

When I got it all, I had solved no less than 30 times my last artifact missing (special mention for hooked dagger which had almost 40 solves ...)

Commentaire de IndygoProphecy

Completed this achievement with a total of 827 Solves.
200 Arakkoa
426 Draenor
201 Orge

Commentaire de Pwuebear

You can print your total number of solves for each Draenor race with the following code (you'll need to go your archaeology page for it to work the first time, and again after each relog):

/run for r=13,15 do local c,t=GetNumArtifactsByRace(r),0 for i=1,c do local _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,n=GetArtifactInfoByRace(r,i) if n>0 then t=t+n end end print(GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(r)..": "..t) end

Commentaire de Jmech1986

I know this is an odd thing to ponder, but I wonder what it smells like in that room full of artifacts... I bet it smells like a cross between a log cabin and an old library.

Commentaire de Sulan

Took me 9days of 10hours a day archying to get this incredibly annoying achievement
I would def categorise it as one the worst achievement to get and and you bascily cant have any real life if your looking to get this, like me
I only missed 4 of them after 6days but as this achi is a lot RNG based as u still have all the wrong solves to get thru looking to get the right ones so dont get too excited early on
With WoD theres a lot more common artifacts than previous and less rare solves which makes this achi extra annoying
The last one for me was Ogre Figurine and it took 20 hours of ogre archo to get this bastard. It never procced for me

Anyway few tips about it
Should have a level 3 mage tower with waygates sent spread across dreanor
Buy Carnet d'explorateur from the restored artifact you get, this will give u a lot more of artifacts over time speeding it up, aswell as you will work towards Maître des missions d’exploration at the same time your doing this "its something"
Make sure you have somehing to Watch(Movie,Tv shows) at the same time as your doing this so you dont end up dieing from boredom

and please blizzard could we have a reward for the people who acctualy gets thru doing this?

Commentaire de IcedoverSoE

If this doesn't award the 'curator title' i aint doing it. %^&*, that.

Commentaire de Gulver

This is one of those achievement that slowly drive you into a deeper spiral of insanity the more pristine solves you get.

Commentaire de Shyos

As a Fresh Archeology Achievement chaser, I'll just leave this here to help people like me.

All the artifacts have a pristine version of its trash version. Now you know the difference. I thought all trash items can be converted through a quest or npc but is isnt. You need to dig up until you find pristine versions of items.

Also you can place these pristine items to your trophy room in Level 3 Town Hall.

Commentaire de Schadow

Managed to get it after 909 solves. My advice would be to focus on the Draenor Clans one first, try to get all the pristines of these first before going to Ogre and Arakkoa. This is because the Draenor Clans have a lot more and you will frustrate yourself endlessly to just be able to solve that last one and then hope that it's a Pristine.

My last was an Arakkoa if it matters. I just used the map, wait 30 mins if no digsites were up (started a Count Down stopwatch and logged an alt) and continued like that.

Arakkoa: 234
Draenor Clans: 502
Ogre: 143 (Ogre finished for me first).

Commentaire de Jmech1986

For you alliance guys, take the time to get the Shamanstone: Spirit of the Wolf buff from Wor'gol so that you can move a little easier in Frostfire Ridge. Also remember to take Aviana's Feather with you so you can move quickly between digsites.

Commentaire de Anouska

I was nearly giving up on this achievement many times, and I think it took longer than most ending up with 1107 solves. It really helped using the Draenor Archaeologist's Map whenever I didn't have any digsites that I was relevant. Good luck!

Commentaire de Jmech1986

Blizzard has just announced that they've changed their minds and will be putting flying back into the game, possibly as soon as 6.2. So if you're out there right now trying to get this achievement, maybe you should take a break and wait for flying to become active.

Commentaire de wowZhenek

Guide how to do this horror in the least amount of time spent factoring in average rng with pristine procs.

1 - dig draenor clan till 19/20 with priority draenor clan > arakkoa > use map reroll/wait for cd
2 - dig arakkoa till 10/10 with priority arakkoa > draenor clan > afk till ur map reroll comes off cooldown for like sub5minutes (for example, go open salvage boxes or do a pet daily in garrison, also, if u think that u will get 20/20 draenor clans before 10/10 arakkoa, you are kinda delusional, this 19-20 grind is worse than hero of shattrath FoS grind)
3 - dig draenor clan till 20/20 with priority draenor clan > ogre (might take awhile, pray to the rng gods)
4 - you will most likely have ogre done at this point coz exploration missions yield extreme amount of ogre fragments and 20/20 draenor clan can take ... to long, if not - sure enough, easy finishing line.

Notes: buy map rerolls and exploration missions. Get aviana's feather and Falling flame (timeless isle, Cinderfall, rare elemental). Get hearthstone in somewhere around talador and make use of it. Flypaths are a boon when it comes to travelling. Also, usually, Arakkoa ciphers are cheap as #$%^ so buy em

Also, if you decide under any circumstances to dig arakkoa last coz you thought I wrote some gibberish there - I strongly suggest that you DO NOT do that.

Good luck, may gods help you with the draenor clan rng.

Commentaire de pipilas

(Useless comment) One of the artifacts that you must complete is a Pristine Apexis Heiroglyph as written ingame and here but the item itself it is a hieroglyph as written on the description here and on the item that starts the quest ingame...Digged it

Commentaire de Windsurf

As of 6.2.2, this achievement, while still incredibly hardcore, becomes much more feasible. Make sure you have Guide de Draenor, load up on keystones wherever you can, and get to work.

Commentaire de Djuntas

These kinds of achivements almost has to increase botting in WoW. I have never tough about botting myself, but I can see why some would.

Cataclysme had the perfect balance; No wierd achivements that takes 20, 50 or more than 100 hours of time. But they did give actual good items.

Commentaire de Evelya

Just finished this achievement today, I was done with Ogre first then Arakkoa and had Draenor Clan left so I was just using the map reroll if all sites were not Draenor Clan.

Total amount of solves for each race:
Arakkoa: 129
Draenor Clan: 324
Ogre: 113
Total: 566

Commentaire de eymolftw

Just completed this. Took quite a while but "only" 528 solves

Felt like i did alot more.

Commentaire de Xenocyde

Arakkoa: 332 - Finished third
Draenor Clans: 438 - Finished Second
Ogre: 133 - Finished first

903 total solves.

My last pristine was an Apexis Heiroglyph with 26 previous solves. Was a lot of rerolling digsites to get an Arakkoa site for the last three weeks and doing only a handful of sites each day to keep my sanity.

Good luck to those still hunting!

Commentaire de Qoko

I finished this today with a modest amount of solves compared to others, but I had the rng hell of having my last Arakkoa pristine (Sundial) require 26 total solves. My total digging time wasn't that long, but having to keep using Carte d'archéologue de Draenor increased my real time investment considerably.

Arakkoa (3rd): 246 (24.6/pristine)
Clans (2nd): 232 (12.2/pristine)
Ogre (1st): 128 (12.8/pristine)
Total: 606 (15.5/pristine)

My total amount of solves includes some extra Ogre and Clan solves to get Arakkoa digsites but not a whole lot. I have been lucky with the Ogres and Draenor Clans, I got my 10th Ogre and 18th+19th Clan pristine almost back to back and the average amount of solves is slightly above 12. However, at that time I had only 90 or so Arakkoa solves with the Sundial left. Just to prepare players what a last pristine can do to you, it's RNG hell.

My view on what to get last, or how to plan your solves
I don't think you can truly control it unless you use the Carte d'archéologue de Draenor before you max out one race. However, there are some general advices you should try to follow to make this as painless as possible.

Use the Mage Tower, Draenor Pathfinding and all the garrison teleports for easy access to digsites.
Initially prioritise Arakkoa > Clans > Ogre digsites for as much as this is logistically deemable. Don't go out of your way too much to get to Arakkoa digsites first, but due to being the rarest giving them priority will help in the end. The Clans have more solves than the Ogres, so prioritise them second.
In Draenor I haven't noticed that completed races appear less often so base your priorities on keeping your races as level as possible.
Pristine procs are pure RNG, so yes, the last item can seem to not proc but it will eventually.

Commentaire de jacklowry

Didn't seem as terrible to me as Seat of Knowledge, especially if you get good RNG. It only took a total of 474 solves (130 Arakkoa, 205 Draenor, 139 Ogre) on this end, which means (unlike in MOP) I didn't have to keep working on it afterwards to get 20 of each artifact for the Collector achieves. My advice:

1) Put all your artifacts into explorers' notebooks, until you've knocked out 1 of the races, then start buying maps.

2) If you have 100 alts, you probably ran them through Spires of Arak for the double-xp inn bonus. Send all the extra Arakkoa ciphers to whichever character is going for the achieve. (Or, alternatively, take 10 minutes to fly an alt to all those spots and pick them up before embarking on this.)

3) Find a TV show on Netflix and settle in. (For my part, I watched Season 1 of The Flash, and finally finished 23 episodes later.) It goes much faster if you're not actually focused on the grind.

Commentaire de eyalonn

This achievement is a real pain. I'm currently on 1091 solves (164 arakkoa, 655 draenor clans, 272 ogre) and I still miss 1 from Draenor clans..

What I can suggest is:

1. Finish the flying mount achi for Draenor
2. if you got gold, buy the keystones, it will save you a lot of time (personally I never solve without a keystone nowadays)
3. don't start it with your main if you got an alt that is a druid, as they got an instant flying mount
4. if you've already started it with your main that is not a druid like me, now is the right time to do this achievement, with halloween 2015 instant Broom flying mount, just do the headless horse daily dungeon or farm 150 treats tokens and buy it from the vendor in SW (for Alliance) it's TOTALLY worth it, instant flying mount vs 1.5 sec cast time on each time you use the mount.
5. use the maps to randomize the dig sites, or wait for it to change at its own (not sure how much time it takes for the game to change the dig sites, but seems to be less than 24 hours)
6. Don't give up! most important, this is a pain in the ass, but if you're a true achi *!@#$ you gotta get it done
7. Get 5x restored artifacts for the vendor and get the garrison missions, free solves there.
8. Use your alts to sometimes get more keystones and deliver it to the char you're doing this achi with, will save you gold/time
9. When you got only 1 type missing (for me it's Draenor clans) don't bother to dig the other ones, it's a total waste of time, just use the randomize maps or wait, trust me it's not worth the time to dig and hope for the type you want.
10. Use the addon Archy, it's very nice.
11. you can get more than 1 solve at a time, you don't have to turn in to the garrison the pristine, so no worries there.

2 weeks on instant incantation for flying

For achievement hunters: wait for hallow's end event you will get instant cast on flying with the magic broom.

The best class for this is a druid but if you're like me and queue Bg's and Hdungs while digging you might end up with a non druid class..

Arakkoa: 147
Draenor Clan: 348
Ogre: 172
Total: 667

Had 300 crates to use after the achievement and got very lucky at the seat of knowledge got 5 rares, 1 fossilized raptor and a crawling claw... I guess this was my reward after all:)

Tip1: Use Maps to randomize digsites on the region you don't need: that will force other region digsite to open. ex.: Don't need ogre= go to talador.( it's almost 100% ogre in talador)
Tip2: (not proven) If you don't have pristine keep them in inventory to force a pristine.
Tip3) Check this map: https://youtu.be/Xa4lniPFXGEif you don't remember factions for all digsites : Green = Ogre, Red= Clans, Purple= Birdppl.

I finished this after 453 solves.

I now that I am very very lucky but I wasn't for Seeker of Knowledge, then it's fair now:)

Commentaire de yzq85

Having only started on Seat of Knowledge in Warlords, all I can say is that if you're intimidated by the challenge of getting this achievement now, wait till Legion and you'll be able to catch up like crazy. Not only will you be able to avoid/kill mobs at dig sites more easily, the Restored Artifacts you get then should allow you to trade in for Draenor archaeology fragments (like how you can trade in for Pandaren fragments in Warlords).

Commentaire de jameroz

Took me total of 791 solves to get this achievement. Final 3 pristines (1 each race) took 199 solves.

Finally finished this one. I had terrible luck with my last pristine (Flask of Blazegrease), going somewhere over 200 solves since my previous pristine.

Brutal achievement with no real reward. Hoping pristines are gone in Legion

I spent way too much time on this already and I am only halfway thru.
And got nothing out of it.
I really wonder what is more broken, the game or me. :-)

Commentaire de connor1970

Andrew's Guide to making this easy (well easier).

1st. The Archy add-on is going to be your best friend. Use it and have it up.
2nd. Do not forget your mines, in your garrison. Those mining trucks can frequently hold not only fragments, but occasionally keystones as well.
3rd. You Garrison missions also have a few that can award not only fragments as well, but even keystones!
3.5 If you have ALTs with the mines and doing missions, don't forget to pass along those keystones!
4th. If you are working on other achievements as you are wandering/flying around doing this, then do them as well! Photographe de terrain, Exploration de Draenor, Grand chasseur de trésors, Draenor domptée, J’ai trouvé Pépé ! Just to name a few.
5th. Bring your bodyguard along! Work on that Fidèle lieutenant! Also helpful to have someone else with you to get those pesky mobs off of your back.
6th. The Carte d'archéologue de Draenor is going to become very useful to you, once you have completed one or two of the Races. And trust me when I say that you'll have more than enough Artéfact restauré !
7th. Listen to some music that suits this achievement for you, I suggest Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
8th. Have fun with it, it may be a little bit of a grind, it may only be worth 25 points, BUT you end up with a nicely decorated room!

Commentaire de carens

Like many here I have been frustrated and annoyed at this achievement. However, it appears there is a pattern. And, of course, the closer you are to finishing the achievement the more difficult it is to get that last pristine artifact. The key is to focus ONLY on those digsites which will yield the fragments you want.

If you pull up your ‘world’ map of Draenor you see the little ‘spades’ identifying the digsites by name. The zone map shows the digsites as ‘red circles’. Look to the WORLD MAP for the NAME of the specific digsites. After buying and using a lot of the Draenor Archaeologist’s Maps (exalted with the Arakkoa Outcasts), I saw that each digsite yielded only ONE type of artifact. Simply by identifying the name of the digsite you will know in advance exactly what type of fragments it will give you.

For simplification:
AO = Arakkoa Outcasts
DC = Draenor Clans
Ogre = Ogre

This list is probably not all-inclusive, but will give you a GOOD head-start:

FROSTFIRE RIDGE
Coldsnap Bluffs Digsite DC
Crackling Plains Digsite DC
Daggermaw Flows Digsite DC
East Coldsnap Bluffs Digsite DC
Frostboar Drifts Digsite (Garn Nighthowl!) DC
Frozen Lake Digsite DC
Grom’gar Digsite DC
Icewind Drifts Digsite DC
Southwind Cliffs Digsite DC
Stonefang Ridge Digsite DC
Wor’gol Ridge Digsite DC

GORGROND
Broken Spine Digsite Ogre
Deadgrin Ruins Digsite DC
Overlook Ruins Digsite Ogre
Ruins of the First Bastion Digsite Ogre
Wildwood Wash Dam Digsite Ogre

TALADOR
Ango’rosh Digsite Ogre
Duskfall Island Digsite Ogre
Forgotten Ogre Ruin Digsite Ogre
Gordal Fortress Digsite Ogre
Veil Shadar AO
Zangarra Digsite Ogre

NAGRAND
Ancestral Grounds Digsite DC
Drowning Plateau Digsite (Water Elementals) DC
Highmaul Watchtower Digsite Ogre
Howling Plateau Digsite (Air Elementals) DC
Joz’s Rylaks Ogre
Kag’ah Digsite DC
Mar’gok’s Overwatch Digsite Ogre
North Spirit Woods Digsite DC
Overgrown Highmaul Road Digsite Ogre
Razed Warsong Outpost Digsite DC
Ring of Trials Sludge Digsite DC
Ruins of Na’gwa Digsite Ogre
Rumbling Plateau Digsite (Earth Elementals) DC
Stonecrag Excavation Digsite Ogre

SPIRES OF ARAK
Apexis Excavation Digsite AO
Bloodmane Pridelands Digsite AO
Bloodmane Valley Digsite AO
Pinchwhistle Point Digsite AO
Sethekk Hollow North Digsite AO
Sethekk Hollow South Digsite AO
Veil Akraz Digsite AO
Veil Zokk Digsite AO
Writhing Mire Ogre

SHADOWMOON VALLEY
Anguish Fortress Digsite DC
Burial Fields Digsite DC
Cursed Woods Digsite DC
Gloomshade Digsite DC
Shaz’gul Digsite DC
Shimmering Moor Digsite AO
Umbrafen Digsite Ogre

Also, it should be noted that simply logging out/in to the game can sometimes re-randomize one or more digsites, which would be preferable to using those precious archaeologist’s maps (with their 30-minute CD). However, if you have already started the digsite I believe it will remain ‘open’ (even through a logout) until you complete it.

As for all those crates of artifacts you’ve stockpiled while going for those pristine ones… I would suggest you look through the rare pets and mounts different branches of archaeology have to offer – and if you don’t have them all, you can unload all those crates for something good!

I'm hoping the formatting here 'works' so all the types of digsites are in a solid column, but from the preview not sure if this will work...

Commentaire de Roddox

Since anyone working on archaeology to solve Conservateur de Draenor knows this achievement was designed by Satan, do yourself a favor and get a lv3 Mage tower and the addons archaeology helper and gathermate2. The Mage tower is a huge time save and I wish I built it long before I had nearly completed this achievement. I picked Nagrand, Frostfire and Spires waygates. Gorgrond and SmV arent needed if you're alliance and the Molemachine is right outside the garrison. Gathermate2 is awesome as it marks the fragments you locate with a little circle on your screen. These circles only appear when you're inside a digsite letting you guess the correct spot super fast, removing 90% of the zeroing time you wasted previously.

Ive personally decided to stack up at least 600 restored artifact crates while i work on my last 4 pristine solves aswell - 3 draenor clans and 1 arakkoa. Once legion hits in 3 months the WoD frags become available to buy, same as last expansion, and im just gona buy the frags i need and end my suffering.

Commentaire de Freyfie

I have a few tips for this I wanted to add:

Everyone knows to have archy addon; it will tell you which of your active dig sites are for which clan. You should concentrate on clearing those you need once you get closer to the end and no long require say, Arrakoa.

If you have none of your required clan, use archaeologist map to randomise.

I have a mage tower with portals to Frostfire and Nagrand, as they are the longest to fly between.

Finally; I used Delvar Ironfist as a bodyguard. At max rep he gives you access to 'death gate' which is essentially a garrison hearthstone. I used this to make more use of my mage tower and really speeds up the whole process of moving around.

Happy Digging~

i finally got the Achievement!

been spending 5-10h/day in 3 weeks when i had only one last pristine to solve! it finally took 40 solves b4 the last pristine dropped...

took me in total of 1371 solves(367 Ogre, 756 Dreanor Clans, 248 Arakkoa)

i thought id never get it! and yes, its was longer, for me at least, then then "Seeker of knowledge "one from MoP! that took me 960 solves.

Hi,i just started to do this achievement.

Somebody knows if i can have more than 1 pristine artifact/quest in my bag? Or i need complete the quest before get another pristine quest.

Commentaire de Paulosio

Completed at last.

My last item was Apexis heiroglyph (Arakkoa artifact). From the time it became the last pristine I needed it took me a further 18 solves to get it.

Final count:

Draenor clans 422
Ogre 252
Arakkoa 266
Total 940

It would have taken far solves more if not for the tip I have for you below

If you logout for 30-45 minutes your active dig sites sometimes randomise (it's quite random if it works or not. sometimes i've logged out for hours without my dig sites randomising).

Just do this till you get a dig site for the races you need (if you don't get any just use your Draenor Archaeologist's Map then), dig it up and any respawned dig sites that you get after that and then you use your Draenor Archaeologists Map to randomise your dig sites again in the hope of getting even more of the dig sites you need. This saves you having to dig all those Ogre and Draenor Clans dig sites if for example you only need Arakkoa or vice versa

I'm making this post for patch 7.0

I am missing 2 Arakkoa, 1 Ogre, and 3 Orc pristines, and even with the amount I'm doing I haven't gotten any pristines.

Just looking to see if I have bad luck, or if the pristines are not spawning.

UPDATE

So after getting replies on here, i decided to submit a ticket just to see what kind of reply I would get. Took a couple days off, came back, and first artifact i created became pristine.

One thing to note is that the created artifact does not start the quest anymore. The quest pops up on the right side (by default) of the screen where the quest tracking is.

Guess they are working, back to the grind for me.!

700 seems to be the magic number... After days and days farming the last 2 pristines, a friend of mine told me they would proc when i was around 700 artifacts completed overall...

Boy, he was right!

Final count:

Ogre: 149
Draenor: 403
Arakkoa: 156
Total: 708

And now my watch has ended.

......

.

Until Legion hits, ofc!

Commentaire de ahti33

My final total:

Ogre: 191
Draenor: 380
Arakkoa: 408

Total: 979

I wish I'd gotten this at 700. But, at least it's finally done, just days before Legion.

Commentaire de Djuntas

And I hit 750 solves now...3 missing /sigh. MOP took me almost 1.3k solves :( This sucks....

I can at least work on arch mount tolvir by turning in boxes for that...250 tolvir solves soon.

Commentaire de Factum

Finally done after approximately 60-70 hours of farming, seems like 700 is the number!

Ogre: 232
Draenor Clans: 403
Arakkoa: 149

Total of: 784 solves!

There are three achievements from Draenor Archaeology: Unite the Clans, Arakkoa Archivist, and Highmaul Historian. By completing all three you will also receive Draenor Curator.

Currently, the best and fastest way to acquire these achievements from what I can tell is to save up and use your Restored Artifact and buy the crates from Dariness the Learned in Dalaran.

I was an idiot and didn't bother looking any of this up, so I farmed a great deal. If you don't really have any of the Restored Artifacts, then this is what I did to farm:

First, fly out to Stormshield and buy some Draenor Archaeologist's Map and Draenor Archaeologist's Lodestone. At first I would use the lodestone to port me (hopefully to the other side of the map), where I would start my farm. From there I would work across Draenor. When I completed one of the achievements (for me it was Highmaul Historian and then Arakkoa), I started to only fly out to the Draenor dig sites. When I ran out of the Draenor dig sites, I would use the map to recycle them and start over. I never did any of the dig sites I didn't need.

From what I can tell, a lot of people are still actually grinding this, so if I help one person then it worth me doing all these links and typing this up.

Commentaire de gullisa

Just finished this today

Dreanor Clan-597
Ogre- 284
Arakkoa-186

Total 1,067 not including rares. Last one was Doomsday from Dreanor Clans and it took me about 200 more solves and 5 attempts on it while it being my final pristine needed. 25 doomsday with my highest being 38 completed on Fishing Hook

BFA macro:
/run RequestArtifactCompletionHistory() for r=6,8 do c,t=GetNumArtifactsByRace(r),0 for i=1,c do n=select(10,GetArtifactInfoByRace(r,i))if n>0 then t=t+n end end print(GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(r)..": "..t) end

Click at least 2 times for the correct result

Commentaire de xYusuke23x

For those looking for a macro to show how many solves (for any of the curator achievements):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,255 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(10, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

If you just want the Draenor solves, change "x=1,255" to "x=6,8"; Battle for Azeroth solves is 1,2; Legion solves is 3,5; Pandaria solves is 9,11.

Credit goes to Anaudri from Tanaris-US for the script, which improved the many scripts already circulating by future proofing for later expansions and fixing display errors that occured post 8.0.

Commentaire de jem30six

After starting this achieve in 2014, I didn't have the heart to complete it, because the Pandarian equivalent was so soul destroying. But I have just completed it in BFA Nov 2019 with a total of 1145 solves.
333 Ogre
455 Draenor Clans
357 Arakkoa

My final solve was an Arakkoa Parchemin apogide en parfait état and the drop rate was horrendous. I kinda didn't expect the Pristine to drop until I had solved over 25 of them, and I was up to the the 47 Hiéroglyphe apogide, and the rest of the artifacts for the Arakkoa were in the 40's and 30's as well. Ty Blizz :/

The best thing that came out of this was I managed to score the Char d'assaut qiraji bleu marine with Artéfact restauré in the process of doing this achieve!

Some hints if you are doing this achieve as old content:
I waited to complete it during the Hallows End holiday with a Balai magique broomstick for instant mount, because I'm not a druid.
There are no enchants that allow you to speed up the surveying :(
In the end you will need to use the Carte d'archéologue de Draenor to randomly change the digsites.
Prioritize the Arakkoa digsites, as there are less of them on the map, then the ogre, and finally the Draenor Clans. When you use the Carte d'archéologue de Draenor you will mostly get Draenor Clans digsites, and the last thing you want to be doing is hoping for Arakkoa ones, like I did.

Also you can purchase extra specific archaeology fragments with the Artéfact restauré (always save a few crates for buying maps) from the archaeology vendors in the following expansions.

This is the BFA macro: you will need to open the Completed Artifacts tab to work correctly. Also, it will be out dated when the next expansion hits.
/run RequestArtifactCompletionHistory() for r=6,8 do c,t=GetNumArtifactsByRace(r),0 for i=1,c do n=select(10,GetArtifactInfoByRace(r,i))if n>0 then t=t+n end end print(GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(r)..": "..t) end

And final hint, have music or something else playing so you don't have to listen to the creepy voice in the background telling you "All your friends will leave you" "You will die" and "You are already dead" etc.... as if doing archaeology isn't bad enough Blizzard!

Commentaire de finntosh

Why do I do this to myself? One artifact left... The Ogre Figurine. At this point I'm almost through 5 full seasons of the Walking Dead so roughly 50+ hours doing this insane mindless grind. Also I have 11 Ogre Figurine solves so far and 39 Imperial Decree Stele so no RNG protection here!

No real new information in this comment. I just know sometimes reading how it's going for others keeps me motivated. Keep pressing on... You'll get there eventually!

Commentaire de Volleynova

Got this completed today, on this fantastic September 4, 2020. I never thought I'd get Arakkoa Archivist, Highmaul Historian, and Unite the Clans completed in the same day, but it happened! I needed one piece from each after years of collecting. I sat down early in the morning, said to myself, "I am getting this done today, once and for all." and with my three final pieces: Pristine Wolfskin Snowshoes, Pristine Imperial Decree Stele, and Pristine Dreamcatcher, it is finished.

This concludes one of the most repetitive and tedious accomplishments in the game. November 2014 to September 2020, I have completed Warlords of Draenor Archaeology, and all other Expansion Archaeology and it feels great.

Bring on the Shadowlands.

Commentaire de Crestafore

I just finished it and my numbers are:

Ogre: 166 (got all pristines around 150 but did more solves after)
Draenor Clans: 456
Arakkoa: 86

Total: 708

This achievement really tested my commitment. I found all arrakoa pristines quite fast, finished with decent number of solves for the ogre as well.
The draenor clans were my last and they were looking pretty solid as well found all under 200 solves except one.
Some pretty good rng was going on, all pristines that I found were found with ~10 solves.
I thought I was going to get away easy with this achievement (seeing as other people struggled a bit).

But... that would've been too easy and too clean, something wasn't right.
It turned out that last stubborn Œil calcifié en parfait état dans un bocal took me 250+ draenor clan solves to find (27th solved jar). Keep in mind I found all 18 draenor clans pristines under 200 solves with good rng.
I think I would've been okay if I was missing a lot more pristines for doing 250+ solves, but no. It was that amount of solves just for one pristine, and it made me question some of my life choices and also I'm quite certain the process drained my brain cells.

If this isn't the epitome of rng I don't know what is.

If anyone is after this ach one very helpful tip that I saw in the comments is to buy Carte d'archéologue de Draenor when solving the last race/item to not spend time on solving races you don't need.

Hope this info helped, happy solving and stay strong.

Commentaire de Neeb

Ogre (149)* -> 169
Draenor Clan 321
Arakkoa (99)* -> 111

621 completed artifacts

Really frustrating, I completed it today after countless excavations.
I recommend ending the ogres and arakkoa first and then focusing on the clans.
I used the halloween broom item because I'm not a druid.
Once you have reached a type of missing excavations, take the opportunity to change them through the Arakkoa vendor you find in Asharan.
Have patience, a lot of patience, but the result will come

*In brackets when I finished the excavation, after the arrow you find the number of total excavations, I had to excavate something when I had the item sold by arakkoa to ashran in cooldown

Commentaire de Rozz22

This was one of the hardest achievements I have ever done and took hundreds of hours of archaeology.

Arakkoa: 176
Ogre: 258
Draenor Clans: 743

Total = 1177

My final item was the pristine Weighted Chopping Axe which took a total of 52 unique crafts for it to proc. It was ironically my most crafted item.
Good luck to everyone who attempts to achieve this, as I found it significantly harder than the Pandaria one due to Draenor Clans having such a drastically higher pool of items to fish from (19).

Commentaire de Vaugn

I'm insanely working on this achievement this week. Was just railing about how my soul is being crushed because I haven't gotten any Pristines in the last eight hours, when... zammo. Got the last ogre Pristine. So be sure to complain a lot as it seems to help.

Update: It took me days of archaeology to get the last Draenor Clan pristine. 291 solves. Yuck! Here's the final verdict:

Ogre: 168
Draenor Clans: 643
Arakkoa: 188

Total: 999

The artifact that eluded me until the end: pristine ceremonial tattoo needles.

Commentaire de bltv1

Finally finished it today

Arakkoa: 144
Ogre: 211
Draenor Clans: 585

Commentaire de Ronbeastly

Finished this today after 4 years of working on it. I only progressed during Hallows End to use the Balai magique for instant mounting. I also did it as a dwarf to make use of the dwarf racial, Explorateur which i would highly recommend, as it sped up the marathon grind quite a bit. I also ended up getting the Sceptre d'Azj'Aqir after 477 solves.
Total solves: 1105
Draenor clans: 570
Ogre: 360
Arrakoa: 175

Commentaire de mmota

Finally got it today after starting in the DF prepatch then stopping after launch until 1-2 weeks ago.

Commentaire de Brogash
