As a note to people this takes about 2h to clear. Here is some advice to get through it:- Make sure you prioritize the golden shovel sites. - Zoom out to the broken isles map instead of the zone map to declutter quests. - If you can't see the any of the shovels make sure you have their icons turned on the map view. - Sometimes ghosts spawn when doing it, kill them for extra credit. - If you have Majestic Elderhorn Hoof it will help briefly. Fly between your sites in straight lines, don't walk to where the thingy points when you dig unless its green.- Druids obviously will go faster if you have one.- Look into the glove enchants, but know if you are a dwarf they are not needed because they do not stack.
Is it feasible to do this if you've never done archeology before or is the grind to get maxed out just to start this quest or can it be done out the gate?
Less than 2 hours for a guaranteed mount, pretty cool model too I just did it last year and I actually use it.
omg best looking mount, must have!
Was wondering why this wasn't posted about on the 7th when the quest actually became available lol
Legion Archaeology. The original Trading Post experience.
Wish there was Archaeology for Bfa, shadowlands and Dragonflight :/ not good Blizzard
Takes between 1.5-3 hours depending on your luck and focus.If you are leveling alts, you can have them do this instead of your max level. It will gain them a few levels.
My go-to mount on Highmountain tauren, too good.
Make sure you get this done on an ALT. IIRC Archaeology provides a nice amount of XP when you complete a dig.

Here’s a quick video guide walkthrough. About an hour and 24 minutes long. An excellent trick I discovered is that when you put down each of your first telescopes, run a straight line as far as you can unless a mountain is in your way and keep looking for the glowing effect above your head and bam, dig up those fragments SO SO much quicker. That strat worked for me about 65-75% of the time. You’ll see me doing that a lot. I had started before on a previous stream so I was at 200 something fragments, but depending on how fast you are, you can get this done in about 2-3 hours tops if you don’t stop.Lessah Moonwater has two different spawn locations. One is at 45.44 right by the flight master at Thunder Totem in Highmountain.Two is at 64.50 at the cave entrance right by Thunder Totem, THIS IS WHERE YOU TURN the Laying to Rest quest for mount loot.Depending of which part of Wowhead you look up Spirit of Eche’ro up at the dates are skewed all over the place going all the way back to the Legion patches and stuff and I originally was going based off of the 45.44 coords before I figured out the 2nd coords.I spent about an hour struggling to find her and I finally did! Lol. Hopefully this helps people trying to find the turn in. The mount looks amazing with any blue transmogs obviously. You do get experience for looting fragments so if you have a toon you want to level that’s able to access Legion Dalaran then definitely go for it.Now…get digging, like Diglet….the OGs get that reference lol. @carnagiashttps://youtu.be/aqeIfQiaQjc
Dates are incorrect on the article. The quest expired today at reset, a little frustrating because I thought I had another day to complete it and was about 100 bones short, now I have to wait 6 months to restart it. My own fault for waiting until the last minute (I didn't see the blue post until yesterday) but still sucks.
