Update.
The traitors rest thing is also a buggy mess. Lots of the mini quests only let you get 75% done before phasing with another. Also no obvious direction with how to do some.
Honestly how are they getting away with this?
He didnāt ājustā mentioned him, he used straw man, donāt try to justify it
Annnnd there we go.
The helmet/glasses thing works, but itās annoying, especially considering one of the world quests is bugged and only lets you do 2/3 most of the time. Itās often hard to see the black/white thingy going somewhere as well, itās not frequent enough.
The totem thing though, I wonder how someone couldāve approved of this designā¦ Clicking a tiny totem that even with the interact key is hard to select, and then clicking a tiny thing on the ground that feels like itās lagging 100% of the time. Then the design around having to balance the bar is just atrocious, I absolutely hate it. Then thereās constant waiting before objects are interactable, and sometimes you can just start/keep digging and after completing itāll be at 10% and suddenly you can loot the item. Then thereās also the whole delay issue with the balancing where interacting with the āget the marker downā feels laggy af.
The usability experience is horrific. The design is annoying. I hope this doesnāt become the template for archaeology.
Ooh does this have world quests too?
I really should pay more attn.
One thing Iāve noticed and Iām not sure if this is the same for other ārankā type reputations, but when gaining reputation with the Archives peeps, it doesnāt count towards the 3,000 dragonflight reputation weekly quest.
I never checked if you get an increase from doing the timewalking like quest in Dragonflight.
Iāll have to check it out, but with the message ingame saying you earned āreputationā with the archives, youād think it would count towards it.
Googles are okayish but the totem is just a terrible ideaā¦
The archaeology minigame was just fine as it was, there was absolutely no use for such changes
The faction will say āAzerothian Archivesā or something, really hard and annoying to spot, even with world quest addons.

I still havenāt tried it, these topics donāt make it seem appealing at all 
Undecided whether Iāll wait until itās more quiet, and/or a load of fixes have been unleashed on it!
Iāve had issues with the quests but got fixed once I entered a battleground, and after finishing, the quest was working fine, so the bug seems to be a shard phasing related issue.
Yeah, Iām in the same boat, having deliberately avoided it so far. In fact, I may just ignore the event permanently. DF has been so frustrating with bugged content and I just canāt face more unplayable new stuff. Iāll stick to the new dragon races and then try the follower dungeons (assuming they work OK most of the time).
Hmmā¦ 
tbhā¦ I dig it!

Thank you 
I like it! there are some bugs and zero new quests when you reached Capable? I hope we wil get new quests next resetā¦?!
Does anyone know if the WQs are bugged?
I did one for fragments and the other 2 up changed to gold instead! I thought you would be able to do all the WQs up once for fragments then gold on any altsā¦just getting 1 quests rewards seems wrong.
Why didnāt they just introduce Dragon Isles archeology? That would be so much better!
Old-fashioned Archaeology, but with the goggles instead of the old surveying (So less āStop-and-goā, and more fluid searching), that would have been great, the digging/elemental quests are pretty buggy and really detract from the whole faction, TBH.
According to AllTheThings addon you need 238k to get all items. You can get 5k weekly, but the quest is account bound. You get ~500 currency per event.
So you need to do it at least once per week for 11 months.
Anyone who designed this LITERALLY HATES copletionists. People love to collect stuff, complete whole event, or zone, and move to the another. In the last expansions they went so much for quantity over quality that literally hurts the game, and desire to do this kind of content. Itās overhelming that many of people I knew that were completionists just quit because of that.
EDIT: Maybe we will get more if the reputation increase, we will see, but for now it looks awful.
Friend and I did the introduction tonight. Goggles were ok, tho I was quite confused with them apparently doing something while they were not doing that in the first quest. But once past this minor hiccup (and potentially me just being an idiot ) this part was clear.
With the elemental on the other hand, it was an annoying experience! First I bugged with the first thingy we needed to dig, and then friend had the same issue on the second. With much running up and down, reloading, and some profanity we finally managed to finish these quests.
And then we decided that was enough for now, letās do something entirely different. Iām not sure that should be the goal 
im not surprised. the whole expansion was handled like this event. we get more patches yes but the quality is at kortia level.
i would say time rifts were the best because you could afk farm it. lol
