Archeology Question
|
when i first levelled archeology on my main, i remember that you would never be asked to solve an artifact more than once, until all common artifacts of that race had been solved.
has this changed? i've just started levelling it on a different server, and my skill is 75. already i have been asked to solve the same fossil artifact 3 times! (shard of petrified wood) is this a bug or has archeology been made even more dull? |

Thats not how I remember it ever being tbh, IIRC even from the word go the grey items could and often were duplicate pops, thats to say I get and got a solve only for the same thing to come up again. I have never to this day had more than 1 of the rare items though.

Actually, as Dinglebrey noted, it has always been random... by the time my first archeologist had solved his 5 first items, he already had 3 of a kind.
If you got different absolutely every single time, you were lucky beyond belief... I am not saying you are lying, just that you probably got something like 0,00001 % chance and got that... /cheer! |

That's strange, I recently leveled archaeology from scratch on a character, and I don't think I ever got a duplicate common until I had all the commons for that race.

Dysnomia, I did not mean it should happen, I was referring to the OP's claim of not getting any duplicates on his first archeologist being extremely lucky coincidence.
In my experience, duplicates are very common and often start happening before even getting to skill 75 in archeology. |

I wasnt arguing with you mate. just trying to, you know, add extra evidence as to 'why' it wouldnt happen like that. Ive had about four of the same things. But just vend everything till something interesting pops up. I once got  Headdress of the First Shaman not long after I decided to raise my shammy as elemental, go figure...
