This guide explains the different things you can get if you’re hunting for Fossil Archaeology Fragment. Whether it’s to get all the vanity items or equipment, it doesn’t matter. What it is is a daunting task all by itself, however, it can have a relaxing effect if you’re doing something in the background.

If you feel yourself getting frustrated moving from zone to zone in order to dig up archaeology sites, then do something else enticing in the general area! From fishing, to battle pets, to farming mats, etc.

Don’t bore yourself to tears.

How do I go about farming Fossil Archaeology fragments?

I’ll be stating the same information below in every Archaeology farming post, so if you’d like to read it, click away. Otherwise, continue on!

Archaeology will always be a somewhat boring task, and doing it without any kind of help can also be a tedious, daunting, and even frustrating. But hey, some people do, because the alternative is relying on something else that may work one day, then not the next.

Whichever way you like to do it, we came up with a few decent ones ourselves.

Don’t use any addons. You simply travel from one area to another until the artifact is close enough to dog up. Then you move on.
Pros:

  • You won’t have to rely on addons staying up to date and find one suddenly becoming out of date and no longer useful.
Cons:

  • You’ll have to constantly look at your map to make sure you’re going in the right direction.
Use the addon Minimal Archaeology
Pros:

  • Minimalistic setup in keeping up with your Archaeological finds and where the closest ones are.
Cons:

  • You’re relying on an addon to stay up to date.
  • Best used in combination with TomTom

What items can I get from Fossil Archaeology?

As with every archaeological dig, you’ll get specific artifacts to completely uncover. Once you’ve uncovered one, you’ll get a new one. Some of them are junk, but others are the good kind.

And heck, even the junk can sometimes sell for a good chunk of gold.

Fossil archaeology does not offer any kind of keystones to use or find.
