New Archaeology Projects
Originally Posted by MMO-Champion
  • Warsong Ceremonial Pike - The riders of the Warsong clan are always on the move. In camp, a family's tent is marked with a long pike thrust into the ground - often adorned with the skulls of defeated enemies. This example is over a hundred years old and is branded with the names of several key battles.
  • Blackrock Razor - Male orcs of the Blackrock Clan never cut their hair until they come of age, at which point their head is shaved and their role in this extremely regimented society is determined. This ancient switchblade is forged of blackrock and embellished with jewels, likely used by a prominent family for many generations of initiation.
  • Barbed Fishing Hook - This arm-length fishing hook has less in common with a traditional fishing hook and more with a halberd. The Stormreaver clan are the master navigators and fishermen of Draenor, and judging by the size of this hook their prey is no less savage than those of the landlocked clans.
  • Ceremonial Tattoo Needles - These bone needles are taken from the corpses of fallen enemies and meticuously sharpened. The mystics of the Shadowmoon often inscribe secret runes into their flesh to more clearly speak to their ancestors and the elemental spirits.
  • Flask of Blazegrease - Sticky, smelly, and highly flammable, the substance in this small container is liberally applied to the swords and axes of the Burning Blade clan before battle. Though some warriors choose to ignite their weapons before battle, most let the inevitable contact of blades and armor spark the blazegrease for unpredictable intimidation.
  • Gronn-Tooth Necklace - The Thunderlords are the greatest big game hunters in all of Draenor. For centuries they have used riding beasts and coordinated assaults to slay game and gronn alike. Their clan draws their name from an ancient chieftain who single-handedly slew a powerful gronn at the pinnacle of Thunder Peak.
  • Doomsday Prophecy - This tablet speaks of the end times. From what you can decipher, the crude scrawls of multiple authors speak of at least seven different and sometimes conflicting versions of a final reckoning for all of the inhabitants of Draenor. Eerily, the iconography of a flaming hammer is clearly depicted - is this the ancestral origin of the Twilight's Hammer clan?
  • Pictogram Carving - While the written word is mostly used as an instrument for the upper echelons of imperial ogre society, occasionally an ordinary ogre will try his hand at making a story immortal. This pictogram appears to tell the story of an especially distressing culinary experience.
  • Gladiator's Shield - Disagreements between ogres usually end in violence. During the early decades of the Age of Order, a sly chieftain decreed that disputes in his clan would be settled via proxy in one-on-one combat between slaves. The mortality rate amongst the ogres plummeted, leading to a golden age of expansion.
  • Eye of Har'gunn the Blind - While most ogres are born with two eyes, a handful in every generation regress and are born with a single eye. All but a few clans recognize these ogres are exceptional and destined for great things. An unlucky one-eyed ogre mage lost his eye in a duel and replaced it with this fist-sized stone, discovering it to have magical properties when he did so.
  • Chimera Riding Harness - A brilliant ogre once had a thought that riding a chimera would make travel much faster than using pack animals or walking. Roughly crafted from thick leather and utilizing an excessive number of knots, this seat could comfortably accomodate an ogre. However, it could only be saddled on a chimera the size of a small mountain which seems to explain why no one has ever seen ogres fly.
  • Imperial Decree Stele - Assembled fragments from this stone stele place it in Talador several hundred years before the draenei arrived. It marks an ogre imperial decree to raze several orc settlements in retaliation for a number of rebellious raids against Gorian slave trade caravans. The orders were likely carried out, since the towns no longer exist, and this stone was erected to memorialize the dark deed.
  • Sorcerer-King Toe Ring - Imperial ogres jealously guard the secrets of magic in order to keep their status among the ruling class. The wealthiest among them adorn themselves with magically-enhanced jewelry and other wearable artifacts.
  • Warmaul of the Warmaul Chieftain - The first great technological innovation in ogre society was the concept of attaching a rock to the end of a very long stick to smash your enemies, rather than attempting to bash them with a rock held in your hand. The schism this innovation created amongst ogre society resolved itself only when the now-forgotten tribe broke in to the Warmaul and Boulderfist clans.
  • Dreamcatcher - When Terokk returned from exile he was broken and flightless. Rumors of his cursed state swept like wildfire through the Arakkoa, giving rise to superstitious charms and cures. Dreamcatchers endure as one of the most clung-to icons of safety, for the Arakkoa believe the curse will entangle itself in the dreamcatcher and fade in the morning sunlight.
  • Burial Urn - In death all Arakkoa seek to join the Sun-God Rukhmar in the skies above Draenor, thus cremation is vastly preferred to burial. Some have their ashes scattered high in the skies, others are collected in ornate urns and placed in crypts.
  • Decree Scrolls - The incomplete writings here seem to indicate a decree of a sort of martial law, and reminders to be vigilant for signs of the curse amongst neighbors and friends.
  • Solar Orb PH - Central to High Arakkoan culture is reverence of Rukhmar and the sun. Hundreds of Solar Orbs are scattered around [Explosion Town], which cast a never-ending light so no Arakkoan need go without the sun's warmth, even on a cold and overcast day.
  • Sundial - This delicately-engraved instrument, when positioned correctly, acts as both a sundial and an arakkoa seasonal calendar. The base of the instrument is covered with callouts for celestial events, most of which are accompanied by grave warnings. Interestingly, the device seems to have cryptically predicted the arrival of the draenei a century before it happened.
  • Talonpriest Mask - Believing they have been abandoned by the sun, cursed Arakkoa prefer to hide in the forests or beneath awnings during daylight hours. Talonpriests take this a step further and never show their faces to the sun, wearing ritual masks that act as a focus for their communes with Anzu.
  • Outcast Dreamcatcher - Outcast Arakkoa have repurposed the dreamcatcher not to ward off the Curse of Sethe, but to capture and harvest tiny amounts of essences from their lost gods. Rumors persist of an ever-growing mass of swirling energy buried deep beneath Skettis, whispering promises of power to any who will listen...
  • Apexis Crystal - Scattered in the most ancient of ruins on Draenor are fragments and whispers of the Apexis civilization, who attained a height of power during the Age of Order and then abruptly vanished. The arrival of the Iron Horde has prompted a secret but urgent escalation in retriving Apexis artifacts by the Adherents.
  • Apexis Hieroglyph - Brittle and ancient beyond measure, this stone tablet contains carvings that vaguely describe an engine of incredible power, claiming to harness the power of the sun.
  • Apexis Scroll - This battered scroll case has corroded shut, and the scroll within is barely readable with very careful examination. These appear to be plans and measurements for a glorious Temple in the Sky written in an ancient hand. It's unclear whether such a splendid structure was ever built.
  • Beakbreaker of Terokk - Eschewing traditional Arakkoan weaponry, Terokk carried this cudgel as a symbol of his fall from king to outcast heretic. Rumors have persisted for centuries that rather than employing traditional wing-cutting as a punishment, Terokk simply shattered the beaks of those who dared to oppose him.

    Aside from that it looks much much better than tier 4,5 and 6 combined.

    I am a little worried about lfr seemingly not having a tier set, not that it matters too much for me, it just means it will take longer for me to get set bonuses.. Meh i wish lfr would still reward tier gear.

    Two things:

    Some people didn't listen to Celestalon warnings, clearly.

    And I can't believe people are bitching about the warrior set, it looks fucking cool. If we did have a t4 rehash they'd be bitching about that instead.

    Warrior T17 is awesome. Yeah there are some finishing touches and scaling needed but it's a friggin alpha, get your heads straight. All in all it's an awe-inspiring set.
  1. Sacrelis's Avatar
    Holy fuck that warrior set is amazing. I will shit my pants if someone charges towards me wearing something like them wielding a two-handed weapon. Hell if someone charges with just that shoulders is terrifying. Agreed belt is not the most amazing design but the overall just oozes badassary.

    People complaining really needs to show us what can top that, and please not another set from WoW because that will count as rehash.

    If they didn't specifically buff the usually/currently overpowered specs and they didn't ignore/nerf the underpowered specs nobody would have said anything.

    I know you will all go "it's nothing close to final" but we all know history keeps repeating itself. Just like everyone expected every caster is getting buffed hard and only a couple of mele specs get minor buffs. People will again be forced to play casters to not feel useless.
    You should probably never read, nor post in topics about an ALPHA.. You have no idea how gameplay is in the alpha. The live game is balanced within 3% of each other in specs throughout a tier. It is very probable that specs are off by as much as 50% in the alpha. They did a very course correction just so they can do stuff like test 5 man encounters without the rogue being able to solo him. It is hard to test mechanisms if dps if so imbalanced. Right now, go take your level 90 and try to solo a Cata normal dungeon and tell me if think a dev could test mechanisms or balance encounters based on your combat logs.

    The adjustments you are seeing are from ONE ALPHA build to another ALPHA build.. they are not from live.

    Well Warrior tier in MoP was awful (aside the Challenge mode one) and I guess this will be another expansion with bad looking warrior tier. Looking at the Paladin Tier which is amazing I'm truly disappointed, was expecting much more.

    ....Guess ill have to wait for the Challenge mode tier and hopefully it will make it up for this.

    Didnt anybody do Mogushan Vaults?

    There was no Tier gear in that raid but that doesnt mean the other LFR raids wont have tier gear.

    LOVE! that lfr mail set. Shame that none of the shaman races would do the battle mage look justice. Looks like it belongs on humans and blood elves.
