Hey guys does starting archaeology on my alts increase the chance of getting the scarab mount?
because if you think about it alot of people are getting a few rares during their first 20 solves and some people been getting the mount during those first few rares? what do you guys think ?
Has anyone tried this and been successful.

is totally rng.. levelled arch up 4x to 525 spent a lot of time on each char at max level..still never saw zinkroth which was all I wanted when it came out..no mount ,no staff or trinket

wont touch it again until it gets a bit less rng and rng piled on top of rng

From my experience said rares obtained during the first few solves are always the same rares. Now, I only have 10 chars at 525 Archaeology which is a pretty lousy sampling group but I highly doubt that its coincedence that I keep getting war drums or a voodoo figurine rather than Zin'rokh :-)
Anyway, based on this I assume that getting these rares early is simply because they are rares with a higher chance of appearing and is not in fact because you have a boosted chance on getting rares early on. (Aside from the boost by having the rares with a higher drop rate still available, obviously).
SO, you're better off sticking to one char since then atleast you'll probably end up having all Night Elf/fossil artifacts completed at some point meaning less Night Elf/fossil digsites and more Tol'vir digsites.
