No, not again. Please.

For those that are blind like me; there's a basement in the Alliance Archaeology building with more hotspots for Pristines.

Kommentar von Wheatybic

I spent roughly 20 hours farming this. Definitely doesn't seem as bad as previous ones considering you can focus one side for as long as you want.

Drust solves:

Disembowling Sickle: 28
Ancient Runebound Tome: 25
Ceremonial Bonesaw: 25
Soul Coffer: 24
Jagged Blade of the Drust: 18
Ritual Fetish: 15

Zandalari solves:

Rezan Idol: 25
Urn of Passage: 21
Bwonsamdi Voodoo: 14
Blowgun of the Sethra: 13
Akun'jar Vase: 11
High Apothecary's Hood: 10

For those looking for a macro to show how many solves (for any of the curator achievements):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,255 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(10, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

If you just want the Battle for Azeroth solves, change "x=1,255" to "x=1,2"; Legion solves is 3,5; Draenor solves is 6,8; Pandaria solves is 9,11.

Credit goes to Anaudri from Tanaris-US for the script, which improved the many scripts already circulating by future proofing for later expansions and fixing display errors that occured post 8.0.

Does anyone have a list of which is from drust and which are from the Zandalari?

Kommentar von ladynagini

At 100 digsites complete for Gewaltmarsch, I had completed the Zandalar side of this achievement and was 3/6 for Kul'tiran. The relatively small amount of solves plus the fact that you can focus on one side exclusively makes it a lot nice than previous iterations of this achievement, but bad RNG can still spoil your day. It took me about 30 digsites to get 5/6 pristines for Zandalar, then almost 50 to get the last one I needed.

Some general information:

You can get these items in a raid group, just not complete the quest to get credit
Multiple pristine items/quests can be in your bag or questlog at once
Although pristine items now have the option to crate them, I did not receive any duplicates of any already completed pristine item

In the end, I completed 94 Zandalari and 73 Drust solves to get this achievement, around a 150 digsites. This gave me roughly 15 solves per artifact, ranging between 10 solves for the Akun'Jar Vase to 22 solves of Rezan Idol. The 'droprate' seems to be 1/10 - 1/20ish.

Kommentar von Djuntas

It only took me 92 digsites to get all pristines + ALL the ally/hord items. Seems arch was nerfed furthere even from Legion. Glad Blizzard dont make this proffesion insane rng anymore...*cries in 1350 solves for MOP pristines*

Kommentar von neousagi

I have a hunch some items might be zone specific.

Drust pristines I had relatively fast:
Ancient Runebound Totem 9
Soul Coffer 8
Jagged Blade of the Drust 14
Ceremonial Bonesaw 7
Ritual Fetish 10
Disembowling Sickle 11

But when it came to Zandalari ones, this is how it looks now, having got my last pristine:
Urn of Passage 28
High Apothecary's Hood 16
Akun'Jar Vase 29
Bwonsamedi Voodoo Mask 20
Blowgun of the Sethra 9
Rezan Idol 21

So, I rarely digged in Voldun, or more like I rarely completed projects there. I was on 7 Blowguns before I tried concentrating on Voldun. After about 5 (maybe less) Voldun sites, I got 2 more of them, and fortunately one of them turned out to be pristine.

I know it is a shot in the dark, but if you miss one of them like me, try to see if it is coming up as next project in one region more often than in others.

Good luck treasure hunters!

Kommentar von Gogeta1990

Gonna throw my stats in here as well for what it's worth.

Ancient Runebound Tome: 11
Disembowling Sickle: 11
Jagged Blade of the Drust: 13

Kommentar von Aszlan

After passing the 100 digsites mark without even the Drust part completed, I began to go descend into madness. (sadly, there was no achiev for that).

One fine day in this lovely quarantine I sat down and farmed for 4+ hours. Not a single pristine. Sent a few curses to Blizz and went to bed.
Next day it dropped on the first 20min. I called it a day (didn't want to push my luck that day anymore).
Next day another pristine dropped in the first 20min or so.
And the day after again.

Yey, Drust part completed!

Began the Zandalari portion. Rare project in the first 20min of digging.

So I began this theory.

Hard farming doesn't seem to provide the best results. I have been steadily getting a pristine OR a rare project in the first few daily digsites.

It might be down to pure RNG, but it still might be a theory worth exploring more.

Update 23APR2020

12 min of digging and got a pristine.

2 missing now.

Kommentar von Qoko

BfA Archaeology is relatively simplified compared to Legion. Thankfully, because even though the quest system was inventive it didn't make the actual grind better, let aside the horror that is Kein Stein auf dem anderen gelassen. For anyone reading this now, good job, you postponed Archaeology till after Pathfinder 2, as it'd be so much more annoying without flying. The rare trinkets weren't even useful in 8.0, so you didn't waste any potential.

The facts for BfA:

100 digsites for Gewaltmarsch, 12 Pristine and six rare solves equally divided over two races.
No spawns or shared finds as in Legion, each digsite has an average of 63 (9*) fragments.
Meaning that over the course of Gewaltmarsch we will farm 6300 fragments.
1070 fragments for the six rares, so that leaves 5230 fragments for Pristines.

Ever since they were introduced in Pandaria Pristines have a 10% spawn chance. Mileage obviously varies. One may spawn instantly whereas others take 20+ solves. Going by the average, for six Pristines per race you need 60 solves on average. Drust commons have a slightly lower solve average than Zandalari: 45.83 < 46.66. Per race:

60 * 45.83 = 2750 fragments for Drust.
60 * 46.66 = 2800 fragments for Zandalari.

This means that we need on average 5550 fragments. We're short by 5550-5230 = 320 fragments. Assuming this is roughly divided by the race discrepancy (0.49:0.51) we need two additional digsites each or in keystones:

156/12 = 13 Geätzter Drustknochen.
164/12 = 14 (rounded up) Zandalarigötze.

As for 'strategy':

Do one race first and do the race of which the keystone is the cheapest.
Don't spend keystones early on: you can spend them in bulk as you get close to digsite achievements.
About ten digsites off Wanderlust start spending keystones for the first race.
About ten digsites off Gewaltmarsch start spending keystones for the second race..
An exception; if you have one Pristine left and you can solve that without keystones do so: if you get it you didn't waste a keystone.
If you're unlucky to get the sixth Pristine before said achievements consider buying keystones to speed it up as much as possible.

As with all rng based content in WoW: keep thinking of the statistical normal distribution. The above is relative to the peak. If you're on the left end of the curve you finish Curator at 80 digsites without using a single keystone; congratulations. If you're one of the unlucky ones on the right hand side of the curve: you will eventually get it, how frustrating it may be. As for personal experience I was slightly off center on the right and kept my sanity: I finished Drust at 49 digsites with a few keystones used, and ended up finishing Zandalari at about 105 using pretty much any keystone I got.

Kommentar von DJDDM

If the pristine chance is 10%, then one needs on average around 200 digsites or about 20 solves per artifact.

Math:
cumulative upper distribution function gives us for 20 trys with atleast 1 success and 0.1 success chance a combined success chance of 0.878.
We then take 0.878^6=0,458 since we have 6 different artifacts (Kultiran and Zandalar are independent) and want to get the chance for having all of them pristine.
So we wee, that we will need most likely around 20 solves.
20 solves per artifact = 120 solves total.
120 solves means around 5600 fragments.
5600 fragments means around 89 digsites.
So for a one side (Kultiran or Zandalar) we need 89 digsites to get a 0.458 chance of completing it.
Two of these would then be 178 digsites (neglecting the fact that we would end up with a 0.458² = 0.21 chance if we take both factions together).
If we take the six rares into account we need 1070 more fragments which are 17 more digsites, we end up with 195 digsites.
The 5 digsites left, aswell as all the keystones can then be used to minimize our undercalculations in terms of only 0.458 instead of 0.5 per side as well as taking bot sides together.

Given this, I doubt that the pristine chance is only 0.1 as we would have seen way higher numbers in this thread, I guess.
For those having troubles finding the last pristine:
If we would only need 5 artifacts 18 solves are enough to give as about the same chance as we have for 20 solves with 6 artifacts. So, by adding the 6th artifact we need to do 10 more solves on the old artifacts as well as 20 for the new one which gives us 30 more solves. So if you are at 5/6 you are only 75% "done".

Kommentar von Neuf

215 Zandalari solves and still searching for Pristine Bwonsamdi Voodoo Mask (26 Solves and counting on that one)
269 and 36 BVM, no pristine.

Kommentar von Elliehime

I got my last pristine one on my 100th digsite which allined perfectly with the other achievement.
oh well two more achievment done, at least the digsites were really small compared to previous expansion digsites.

Kommentar von Xemnuz

Maybe interesting info to some, just got "Lengthy work" achivement which is 100 digs in Kul tiras, only got 3/12 in this achievement..

Kommentar von dagle

For whatever reason, I am motivated to do Archeology achievements in 10.2 knowing that it is almost certainly going to be retired. This one was going well until I got down to 1 remaining Zandelari (Rezan Idol), then it was pretty painful. A total of 173 Zandalari solves v 77 Drust solves (including the pristines and the blues)

Drust
Ancient Runebound Totem 10
Soul Coffer 12
Jagged Blade of the Drust 11
Ceremonial Bonesaw 13
Ritual Fetish 12
Disembowling Sickle 10

Zandalari
Urn of Passage 23
High Apothecary's Hood 28
Akun'Jar Vase 31
Bwonsamedi Voodoo Mask 28
Blowgun of the Sethra 22
Rezan Idol 32

Kommentar von Inhio

Christ on a stick, could someone please verify for me if they've actually managed to complete this one lately? This is getting infuriating. I completed most pristines between 5-20 solves but the ritual fetish is now into the 50s and still not giving me a pristine.

PS: Maybe my luck with archaeology is just altogether cursed. Over 30 solves of everything in MoP archaeology and also stuck on a single pristine for both mantid and pandaren. The paragon remains and an empty keg. Wasted over 500 restored artifacts for that keg and nothing...

Edit: Praise the light! Literally got it within 5 minutes of posting this comment.

Kommentar von Shashos

Watch out for the Zeh'ahari digsite in Zuldazar if you're Alliance. There is a nearby Horde flightpath. The guards are level 70 and have a very long aggro range. You will get flagged and attacked.

Edit: Today, I'm not even able to dig here. All the digs are too close to the flight path. I'm constantly flagged, tossed into combat and attacked. This dig needs to be moved away from the enemy area. Now I'm stuck with this one that can't be completed.
