WoW Dig Site

Just a heads up, I’ve got around to updating some things on the website to reflect 4.0.6 changes.

• There is now a new page listing Common Artifact Sell Values
• I’m updating the Started Guide
• Tweaking the FAQs for 4.0.6

Spot any errors on the site? Feel free to point them out on the Contact form please!

It seems that the addon Archy still has no new release to fix patch 4.0.6 issues. So I investigated.

There is no ‘proper release’ yet but there are beta updates/builds that will work until an actual release comes out! You can download or visit the page below. Here’s a note from the Author:

“I took some of my own fixes and some of the community fixes and put them all together into a bug fix patch of the most recent version of Archy to tide people over until a proper release can be done. There have been changes to some of the functions and other additions (like the new digsites). If you’re reporting bugs specific to this bugfix, be sure you’re reporting them in the right place.”

Patch 4.0.6 should be live when realms come up (or restart) this Tuesday!

Update: Patch 4.0.6 Official Notes are live Source

What do you need to know about this patch relating to Archaeology?

• You’re now only guaranteed a skillup until 50 (instead of 100) from gathering fragments when in the first stage of Archaeology. After 50 you’ll need to solve artifacts to skill up.
• There is now a 200 (hard cap) limit on how many Fragments (per race) you can have at a time. So there is no reason to save fragments past the 200 limit unless you don’t need/want them anymore.
• Common artifacts have had there sell values adjusted, some are worth much gold now, when sold.
• Survey now has a 3 second cooldown (instead of 5 seconds). Tooltip Link
  

The User Interface is getting some love with updates to the journal summary page display along with a “Ready” Flash beside race icons for current projects.
However people using an addon (like Archy!) have this functionality and convenience but it’s nice to have a non-addon choice.

• Queen Azshara’s Dressing Gown now requires Level 51
• Headdress of the First Shaman now requires Level 61
• Nifflevar Bearded Axe now requires Level 71
