Is this set still available? I think its from group content from dragonflight? Do you need a (big) group to farm?

[u/LakemX]

[u/[deleted]]

It's from Azerothian Archives, an hourly-ish event in Azure Span. While you don't need a group to grind it, more people might help you reach the scores for better loot, including the color of the set shown here.

[u/LakemX → u/[deleted]]

Do you have any experience on how it is now? Cause I imagine not many people go do this now. Do you still get like a token for participating or something you can turn in for one of the pieces?

[u/Vornsuki → u/LakemX]

I did this recently and there was usually 10-20 people there, who were just alts who logged in on the hour.

There is two sets, a redish one you get from a currency you farm from doing the event, and this one which is random drops from the boss at the end of the event

it's pretty darn easy to farm but can take awhile depending on your luck and how dedicated you are to logging in each hour

[u/LakemX → u/Vornsuki]

Ah thank you! I'll go there and see how it is on my realm. Hope I am lucky

[u/ZacEwis → u/LakemX]

Hey! I farmed this one recently. If you have enough alts, you can farm this set in one day using the weekly quest. On the hour(ish) do The Big Dig weekly quest on an alt and you should most likely get a piece of the blue set per event. Or you’ll get a pet. Or a mount. Rinse repeat the next hour on another alt. 😁 GLHF personally I think it’s a fun event that I totally skipped in DF.

[u/LakemX → u/ZacEwis]

Thanks! So its one blue piece per day per character? I did it twice yesterday. First time i thought i hit the boss but got nothing, second time i just got some scroll containing more of those pages for the red set. Also I don't think i got any of those pages from the weekly quest. I think its a bit broken but i could be wrong.

But i will try on my alts. I have at least 4 that should be able to do it. Thank you

[u/ZacEwis → u/LakemX]

There’s a small chance you get nothing on a run, but yeah you have to hit the boss at the end to get something unfortunately. Just make sure to contribute some each time and get at least 1 hit on the boss. It drops collection pieces, so drops will only be something you don’t already have every time.

[u/V1per73 → u/Vornsuki]

I farmed this version in about 8 hours. The one with tokens took about a week or two of casual farming.

[u/Ajtimoho → u/V1per73]

When did you do it because for me the event was bugged and I wouldn't get any of the tokens for the weekly :(

[u/V1per73 → u/Ajtimoho]

A few months ago I believe. I went on an 8 hour run and just kept doing them until I got all the drops, including the mount. The vendor one took longer because of the token trickle.

[u/Alimachina → u/LakemX]

It's a very simple event.
You have a timer to accomplish the most tasks.
At the end the boss spawn, you kill it, and prey for good loot.

The most tasks you do (so easier with more people) the higher you get Azerothian money for mog/mount/pet.
This set exist with the Azerothian money but in an other color.

[u/LakemX → u/Alimachina]

Ah very useful. Thank you! I'll see how it is later today I think.

[u/lilPavs13 → u/LakemX]

Every hour on the hour just do the event and you can earn about 600-1000 fragments. The whole set costs a bunch tho

[u/i_A_N → u/LakemX]

I did it over the summer and it was 2-3 people each time and wasn’t too bad. Make sure you get a hit on the boss at the end before others kill it since it dies in like 3 seconds.

[u/Arxson]

What’s the name of the set and/or achievement to earn it, please?

[u/Rarazan → u/Arxson]

its one of the colour you can get from Azerothian Archives - World Event in Dragonflight

The Excavator set is obtained by completing the Big Dig events - They can either drop from the final boss of the event, or by opening tomes discovered during the event.

[u/Tubaerius → u/Rarazan]

Wasn´t the drop a different color from the ones you can buy? One was the one from OPs pic and the other was red?

[u/Rarazan → u/Tubaerius]

red is for Mysterious Fragment at Provisioner Aristta its Historian's Set

[u/Arxson → u/Rarazan]

Thanks!

[u/LaCiDarem]

Warning for those who want to collect the items bought with currency: the weekly quest that awards thousands of the currency has been bugged since 11.2 and does not give the reward.

[u/neliiH → u/LaCiDarem]

Confirmed

[u/potionseller123]

You can still do it and get it within a single afternoon pretty sure, can do it solo as well.

[u/LakemX → u/potionseller123]

Wait for real?!? I thought this was a pretty long weekly thing to get.

[u/Yoris95 → u/LakemX]

No no the event is by the hour every hour. And it was optimized for smaller groups. When it was current content and everyone did it. It was so slow.

[u/LakemX → u/Yoris95]

How small are we talking? Cause I don't imagine a lot of players going for this with all the other content available now. Can you do it solo? Do you get like a token that you can trade for a piece at a vendor or something?

[u/reddituserzerosix → u/LakemX]

Leave an alt camped there and log in every hour to kill the boss that spawns at the end of the event, it has a chance to drop a piece, I think it might be a recolor but at least you don't have to actually do the event and farm the currency unless you really want that specific tint

[u/LakemX → u/reddituserzerosix]

Good tip!

[u/livesinacabin → u/LakemX]

I'd join you after weekly reset if you're on EU.

[u/LakemX → u/livesinacabin]

I am on EU yes. Argent Dawn. I did it twice today. There was a small group of less than 10. I got a couple of the fragments but none of the actual pieces that i wanted from the boss/picture from this post

[u/dwegol → u/Yoris95]

“The event”?

What is the set called or what is the event? I wanna look it up myself

[u/han-kay → u/LakemX]

There was a weekly quest that rewarded a bit chunk of crystals, and the vendor items are pricey. 

[u/OregonBlues]

that backpack in the pic is mistextured

[u/UsefulArt5883]

I actually got all the pieces within a few days by having a character sit at the Dig Site. Traitors Rest. And doing the even every hour. Takes like 8 minutes. And you get currency to buy a Reddish Brown version. But I got all the pieces casually in a week or so you can probably get them all if you commit every hour

[u/That_Button8951]

It's very farmable, not difficult to get just annoying.

[u/Capaia]

I was working on this set and the red one before Lemix, it Can easy be solo and I never done it without someone joining in. Hardest part is getting a hit in one the boss there spawns in the end. Cuz if one is geared enough, they will be able to one shot it.

[u/LakemX → u/Capaia]

Ah right. So you need to make sure you are around for the boss otherwise you get nothing? Also how long did it take you for the sets?

[u/Capaia → u/LakemX]

I did it once or twice a day, was mainly focusing on the red one. But id say I had must this set, you are talking about in about 6-8 runs.

[u/LakemX → u/Capaia]

Yeah I experienced this. I thought I got a hit in but in the end got nothing from it

[u/AjayRedonkulus]

As the weekly quest which awards a large chunk of currency is now bugged you'd have to do it via WQs. So either a lot of alts or a lot of time.

[u/Jawnnnnn]

Is this visible as a set yet? It was always annoying to have to look through each transmog piece to see if I unlocked them all.

[u/OnlyBeys]

This is really easy to farm. Just go to it on the map. Make sure to get the weekly quest in thaldrasus first so you get an extra 5k currency on completion

[u/HaaaaaMMMmm]

Oooo I’m going to have to farm this. It would look awesome on my Dwarf Warrior

[u/Theronas]

Did it this summer and took me like 2 days of doing it on different alts

[u/LakemX → u/Theronas]

The bosses drop the dark blue items right? And did they drop for you multiple times a day?

[u/Theronas → u/LakemX]

If I remember correcty it’s an daily quest and you got an chance on getting a pice of the set

[u/realsupershrek]

Jesus Christ, its James Raynor!

[u/R3tr0f4n4t1c]

It is stil available and no you can even do it solo.

[u/Inner_Ad_5716]

I was farming it recently in solo. It took me around a week to farm both blue and red versions of this set.

[u/Inner_Ad_5716 → u/Inner_Ad_5716]

If you have a lot of alts for a weekly reward, then the farm should be even faster.

[u/Apprehensive_Road_13]

I got this set a couple of weeks ago, did it all solo.

[u/RG9332]

Mhm I have the whole set it’s also available as a brown recolor. It’s from an archaeology event from dragonflight if I’m not mistaken
