Easy Mounts, Toys, Pets and More With This Archaeology Video Guide

Recommended Posts

Hey, remember Archaeology? Well, the man with the deep voice is back again to talk about it. If you're bored with Dragonflight or you’re one of those “must collect everything” people, Danta has another easy, but still time-consuming (as he points out himself) guide that can help you obtain a lot of rare items, pets and mounts from Archaeology!

One  of the cooler things  you can get is the Recipe: Vial of the Sands Vial of the Sands recipe, which, once crafted,  gets you the very unique Sandstone Drake Sandstone Drake mount! It actually turns you into a dragon so you can carry a person with/on you and it's getting Dynamic Flight in the upcoming War Within pre-patch. There are some other cool mounts as well, Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank and the Spirit of Eche'ro Spirit of Eche'ro (which is an entirely separate thing in and of itself). And that's not even mentioning the many toys, pets, titles and transmogs you can get from it.

The method itself (which some of you may already be familiar with) involves using Mantid digsites and converting all MoP digsites into them with the Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator, which then lets you have plenty of Restored Artifact Restored Artifacts to trade for whichever mount/item you're going for. You should check out the video for the full details and what you'll need to get.

You can see all the artifact types and rare items that may contain in his video description! Also, you can skip to 3:00 in the video to skip the Archaeology basics.

      Find out how many times you need to kill Garrosh to buy Tusks of Mannoroth and the Heirloom Weapons in MoP Remix!
      Bones of Mannoroth drops from Garrosh on Normal or higher difficulty in Siege of Orgrimmar and keep in mind all raids are on a daily lockout.
      You will receive 1 Bones of Mannoroth from killing Garrosh on Normal Difficulty. You will receive 4 Bones of Mannoroth from killing Garrosh on Heroic Difficulty. You will receive 10 Bones of Mannoroth from killing Garrosh on Mythic Difficulty. To buy Tusks of Mannoroth from Pythagorus, you must farm 38500 Bronze and 20 Bones of Mannoroth. As mentioned during soulsobreezy's interview, one Heroic clear gets you around 30,000 Bronze. You will need to kill Garrosh at least twice on Mythic Difficulty or 5 times on Heroic to have enough bones to buy the tusks.
      The Heirloom weapons are much cheaper, as they only cost 8,000 Bronze and 2 Bones of Mannoroth each.

      Take a look at the veggie weapons coming in the War Within expansion!
      Extra Large Leak
      This is a One-Hand Mace equipped in your main hand. The item comes from Cooking and the associated spell (Extra Large Leak) suggests you need to collect 999 Twined Herbs.

      Garlic Knots
      A garlic off-Hand to keep vampires at bay. We don't know how to obtain the item at this time.

      What do you think about the new weapons? Let us know in the comments!

      Blizzard has added a completely new category to the Great Vault in the War Within. Find out more about the updated requirements!
      While we can't bring up the UI on the Alpha, based on datamining, we were able to figure out that the PvP row has been completely removed and replaced with a World row, as indicated by the new global strings for Build 54675.
      GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_INCOMPLETE - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.|n|nThe item level of your reward will be based on your highest run this week.1 GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_COMPLETED_FIRST - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a second Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.1 GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_COMPLETED_SECOND - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a third Great Vault reward.

New World Category
      As you can see, you can complete delves or other world activities to unlock items in the new World row, which is cool for players who do not want to do Mythic+ or Raids.
      To unlock items in the new row, you must complete 3/6/12 delves or world activities. Completing world activities will be equivalent to completing a certain Tier of delves.
      To increase the reward's item level, you must complete Delves at a higher tier. We have 9 tiers in total with the last two being only for bragging rights (awarding cosmetics).
      Great Vault Requirements in the War Within
      Here are the updated requirements for the weekly chest in the War Within.
      Raids
      Defeat 2/4/6 raid bosses to unlock slots 1-3. Dungeons
      Complete 1/4/8 Heroic, Mythic, or Timewalking dungeons to unlock slots 1-3. World
      Complete 3/6/12 Delves or world activities to unlock slots 1-3.
