Seeking to complete a newly unlocked rare artifact? Then this post is for you!

There are four rare Dwarf artifacts:

Cajado do Thane-feiticeiro Thaurissan requiring 150 fragments with 3x Pedra Rúnica Enânica that can be used (I am yet to unlock this precious)
A Filha do Estalajadeiro requiring 150 fragments with 3x Pedra Rúnica Enânica that can be used (my 17th Dwarven solve)
Gnomo Movido à Corda requiring 100 fragments with 3x Pedra Rúnica Enânica that can be used (my 6th Dwarven solve)
Cálice dos Reis da Montanha requiring 100 fragments with 3x Pedra Rúnica Enânica that can be used (my 13th Dwarven solve)

While I may not have solved all 32 archaeological rares (I have 25 thus far), after hundreds of hours dedicated to the cause I can say this - there is a method to the madness! And I say madness because archaeology is one profession that should not be taken lightly. Get ready to dig... Lots.

When you arrive at a dig site, take a look around you. The surrounding mobs will generally be the best indication of what kind of archaeological finds you may uncover while surveying there. If you're surrounded by ogres, or something less obvious, then consider what the local settlements are predominantly comprised of, or who the local lore is related to.

In the Hinterlands or STV you'll be surrounded by throngs of trolls - and whadya know, the Troll Archaeology Finds go hand in hand. Wetlands, Badlands and Burning Steppes are all known for their dwarven dwellings - and similarly, so are most the archaeological finds. If animals dominate the land, then appropriately you will often find fossils.

Archaeologically speaking, the Night Elves thoroughly dominate Kalimdor, Dwarves and Trolls the Eastern Kingdoms, and Fossils neatly scattered across both. Outlands are only for the Orcs and Draenei archaeological finds. While Northrend is proving most interesting with Night Elvish and Troll Fragments popping up in addition to the expected Nerubian and Vrykul Fragments. For anything Tol'Vir, it's all in Uldum and Uldum alone (will update if this changes). Unfortunately, dig site spawn locations in Uldum share the same continent as Kalimdor - maximum total of four. This means you're gonna have to keep digging Fossil & Night Elf Frags (among others) all over Kalimdor in order to possibly have the Uldum dig sites spawn. Stay tuned!

There are always exceptions to every rule, but you'll find by and large that the above theory holds true. For those of you seeking dig site locations only, see below.

Dwarf Archaeology Fragments in the following dig site locations (revised and updated 19/02/12):

Eastern Kingdoms

Arathi Highlands - Thoradin's Wall
Badlands - Uldaman, Hammertoe's Digsite, Bloodwatcher Point, Agmond's End, south-east of Agmond's End
Burning Steppes - Chiselgrip, Ruins of Thaurissan
Hillsbrad Foothills - Dun Garok
Hinterlands - Aerie Peak
Loch Modan - Ironband's Excavation Site
Searing Gorge - Pyrox Flats, Slag Pit, Iron Summit, Grimsilt Dig Site
Southshore - south of Eastpoint Tower
Wetlands - Dun Modr, Whelgar's Excavation Site, Angerfang Encampment, Ironbeard's Tomb
Cata Twilight Highlands - (in the valley leading to) Grim Batol, Dunwald Ruins, Ruins of Drakgor, Glopgut's Hollow, Firebeard's Patrol

Kalimdor

Southern Barrens - Bael Modan

Fossil Archaeology Fragments
Troll Archaeology Fragments
Night Elf Archaeology Fragments
Draenei Archaeology Fragments
Orc Archaeology Fragments
Vrykul Archaeology Fragments
Nerubian Archaeology Fragments
Tol'vir Archaeology Fragments
Mogu Archaeology Fragments
Pandaren Archaeology Fragments

For a complete tally of ALL the archaeology solves you have slaved through, use the following macro (updated for MoP):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,12 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(9, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

This will produce a list like this:

Total artifacts
Dwarf: 44
Draenei: 11
Fossil: 64
Night Elf: 179
Nerubian: 4
Orc: 12
Tol'vir: 128
Troll: 87
Vrykul: 8
Pandaren: 25
Mogu: 26

How do you dig for the fragments? I bought the Arch profession but it didn't say if I needed anything else. If wrong tell me what I need please?
Thanks!

Just to contradict here.

Night Elves - Kalimdor
Trolls- Eastern Kingdoms

Been farming at 525 for a bit now, and by and large Troll is the most common digsite. Dwarf is far less common but Eastern Kingdoms is still your best bet. However the fragments sadly do NOT drop like candy anywhere it seems. The upper bracket does add 1 more Dwarven zone - Twilight Highlands. BUT adds another Nelf zone - Vash'jir.

I still far more commonly see Troll and Fossil than Dwarven. Your mileage may vary :(

Am i the only one beeing irritated bout the fact that you find DWARVEN fragments at Whelgar's Excavation Site in Wetlands?
C'mon, there is ALIVE fossils all over the place! Why isn't there any fossil fragments there? >.<

Has anyone seen the daily quests in the dungeons that use the Dwarf stones?

Comentado por TimeTrap

With High enough archeology you can find and complete quests inside each of the new dungeons. These quests cost a keystone and grant your party a zone wide buff.

Dwarf Rune Stone:
Blackrock Caverns
The Stonecore
Grim Batol

Highborne Scroll:
Throne of the Tides

Tol'Vir Hieroglyphic:
Lost City
Vortex Pinacle
Halls of Origination

What works great for me is to "push" the sites downwards, or towards the place where I want to focus my diggin'.

I had three sites in two different locations, two sites in WPL and 1 site in the Hinterlands, so I tried focusing on them rather than flying downwards to take my site near Tarren Mill, (focusing on Dwarf), so when these were done with, I hade moved one down to Searing George and the two others to STV. I flew to STV and continued to push the sites. After about 30-40 min and 20g later I had all four sites on "Dwarf Grounds".

When these four sites were done with, they all had moved to the same region up in EPL/WPL, much easier to do the diggin' when they're contained in the same area.

This might be a bug, and also might be fixed in 4.1, so you better hurry.

At least one Dwarf Digsite is missing:

Kalimdor
Southern Barrens - Bael Modan Digsite (Koords: 48.0 87.7)

I hate arch!

Get your full list of solved Dwarven artifacts by opening the archeology window (This populates the values) and run a macro
/run local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(1); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(1, GetArtifactInfoByRace(1, y)); print(t); end

You dont have to open the archeology window if you run:
/run RequestArtifactCompletionHistory() local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(1); local a =0; for y=2,c do local t = select(1, GetArtifactInfoByRace(1, y)); print(t); end
and the incomplete current artifact (y=1) is left out.

My list is:
Gnomo Movido à Corda
A Filha do Estalajadeiro
Espada Chanfrada de Tunadil, o Redentor
Grifo de Pedra
Escudo Denteado de Horuz Clamorte
