Ms Cow please stop now
Put the shovel down and go be free
This has been crazy for me to read how people have been handling this.
I don’t like to judge what other people do with their time as long as they are not hurting anyone or themself…
But the amount of time some people have been putting into this is unhealthy to say the least and in all honesty slightly terrifying people think this is normal to spend 8+ hours a day digging through cartoon dirt for an item
xd from now 900 trolls
1746 total thanks for good time)
i think blizzard wants me to do 3000 trolls and 7000 total
this makes life a real hell god help me pls god help me god help me pls
this char is cursed need to start trying dig on alt char
I LOVE CATA I LOVE ARCHEOLOGY I LOVE FACT THAT TOMORROW I NEED TO DIG AGAIN FOR 16 HOURS FOR 1 GOLD GREY ITEMS
If I can’t dig sword before cata opens, it would be better for me to wait mop classic, no point in playing a game when everyone in the world has sword for 500 digs, and everyone will play and have fun with their swords, and i need to play with shield on bdk
im already close to 1k trolls
I hope you find it today and you can relax 
Only done about 300 total myself, found pretty much everything apart from the epics 
Anyone one of them would have been nice, I have a priest that could use a couple items, but would prefer shield though oh! and the flame sword when its out /shoooosh!
They really need to fix this proffession… Im soon at 1400 solves total, making me wanna quit cata soon. Atleast fix it so after each grey solve you get increased chance of getting a rare… Something…
Even if this is not the bad luck protection that a lot of people are waiting for… Thank you Blizzard for listening to the community and adding the fossil pet at 450. A lot of us are really appreciating the step you did there.
We need a good and fair system, not the flawed ‘bad luck protection.’ At a 0.5% drop rate, most people will get that epic item on average after 350-400 attempts, not an absurd 1,000+. Clearly, there seems to be a bug,or some players appear to be preselected for better luck.

I just got this at 450 level 80.
Thanks Blizzard!

where my staff?
yea this is fudge disgusting feel your pain 
Okay, I noticed on my main character and also on my druid that after I reach 120-150 tries, sometimes the Solve button doesn’t work and I need to reload the UI. How do we know if that blocked solve was the one?
I dont think its not working, I think its solving and giving you the exact same artifact again, so nothing changes.
It’ll be 2nd lockout and this weapon will be replaced. No idea why people are wasting so much time on a minimal DPS upgrade.
It’s not just about DPS anymore; it’s also about gold, time spent, and having a good system. When you say it’s 0.5%, let it be 0.5% and not change it just to delay content. This way, you’ll end up with the entire late content to yourself, Blizzard.
Did they actually say that it is 0.5%?
That was set up back when Cataclysm was released, so I hope they keep it that way
Do you think the chance to get a 359 epic increases at level 525 vs 450? or do you think it’ll be the same % drop chance?
Archealogy skill level has nothing to do with drop chances (assuming you have at least the minimum skill needed for that particular rare to drop in the first place, of course).
Im nearing 500 solves for troll.
This is around 120 hours on grinding and puts you at around 80% chance of getting it in those number of solves.
Its extremely frustrating that 3 of my friends got it pre 100 solves and I have more than all there solves combined and don’t have it. So many people have it they should increase the drop chance every 100 solves without and epic. This still makes it a grind but will stop people like me and some other going to 1k solves and not getting it.
Like 120 hours of a mindless grimd for nothing when a lot of people got it pre 20 hours is a slap in the face.
100% they will add bad luck protection when people have gotten 372 weapons and no longer need archaeology
