Please fix archaeology

Just as rough ballparking,

If proc is 5% chance: 50% will have completed by solve 14, 90% by solve 45, and 99% by solve 90. [ez-mode]

3% chance: (same percents) solve 23, solve 76, solve 152

1% chance: (same %) solve 69, solve 230, solve 459

It probably is the case that the current proc chance is slightly <1%, but that’s largely anecdotal.

Take a break, you’ll feel better.

My phone is off, my blinds are closed, my lights are off. I haven’t replied to any work emails or text messages from friends worrying about me for 6 days. The search for my troll epic sword before the game releases is something they would never understand, or judge me negatively for. They don’t understand that i’m 1600 solves deep and there’s no way to give myself higher odds or make it appear in my solve book so I can come back to reality and participate in everyday human activities… However, I’m not worried. Firelands patch is being rushed and so is dragon soul but archaeology is timeless. I’m a human clock ticking… tick … dig… tick… dig, one node after another until may 20th. Nothing can stop me I can feel myself transcending into a modern day human AI version of myself that farms nodes all day. This is definitely a healthy relationship to have with a secondary profession and I would have to disagree with OP’s post saying to “please fix archaeology” because clearly there is nothing wrong with the profession and nothing wrong with more than half of the active player-base stuck digging for 10~ hours a day for loot in a sped-up content game. Shout out to Aggreezy for adding innkeeper’s daughter and not adding bad luck protection for all of these forum crybabies. How about you just grab a shovel and stop typing maybe you’d have what you want by now weak children.

I have been digging since patch drop for an average for 10 hours a day ( I am very fortunate to not have to work a normal 9-5 and can be at home) and im almost at 1000 solves.

How does your mind not implode from the tedium? You watch videos etc. while you dig?

no one likes you.

and its called fcking discipline.

Of course there’s people that dislike me but to say everyone dislikes me is laughable.

Okay… Lash out much? I ask a simple question, what do they do while they’re doing Archaeology and you have a meltdown. Calm down.

Oh, it was you. Hahaha.

wow, doesn’t even answer. Do you just do nothing but Archaeology 10h a day, not watching a vid nothing?

Drop rates are as the were and should not be changed.

You do not NEED the items

I answered your shty question be grateful you little forum troll

yeah, nothing should ever change ever at all, right? Glad you’re not a game dev and I feel sorry for anyone who has to find or create solutions with you.

non argument

“they sucked before they should suck now”

come up with something better

I mean… it’s cata classic… it’s meant to be this way

They’re rare items, they’re meant to be rare

pretty sure they’re still this low on retail

You should really stop disguising your swears and just not use them, I asked you a simple question, what do you do while you’re digging and you have a meltdown just because I already have my staff.

Just because you still want to dig while I’m done doesn’t make your response to me worth anything.

People are saying that they did implement some form of pity system with Archaeology in Retail, not sure if that’s true or not though I see no reason for them to lie.

yes but they made a solution that allowed you to focus on a specific race’s solve in retail making it much faster.
