This particular quest is not mandatory... should someone chose to ignore it then it only extends their getting a particular skin by 2wks. Dont need to be pissy with me I was 800 Arch before the first weekly reset. I found the Azuna one far more annoying than this one.Originally Posted by Kektonic

Did this one yesterday. Yeah, the drop rate is very low. Even on the angry ghosts that spawn. Took me about 25 dig sites (not strikes, complete SITES) to complete. At least Suramar archeology sites aren't as mob crowded as Aszuna or hard to get to like Highmountain or Stormheim.
Edit: don't you need to complete this quest at least once to get the archeology mount?

This quest is not need to get the archaeology mount, nor is it needed for the weapon skin. The archaeology mount comes from the bi-weekly arch WQ. The current WQ is the one from Suramar that folks are complaining about. The arch weapon skin only requires the completion of 8 of the arch world quests. Originally Posted by Redwyrm

Based on what you've seen so far versus other quests, is this one worth skipping? Originally Posted by Seranthor

Do you get them with the fragments? I haven't gotten one yet so I don't know.

Yeah, or you can get them from the mob that can spawn. Originally Posted by Spl4sh3r

starting with this one and steppping backwards... Originally Posted by MrExcelion

Previous to that was Stormheim where you needed 200 War of the Ancient fragments which drops rarely when you are digging in Stormheim, many of Stormheim's sites were in pvp areas, and many of them were right in the agro range of 110 elites. (By far and away the more painful than the Suramar one)
Previous to that was the HM one where you got the mouse as the reward (Note this was only the case for like 10hours)
So, to answer your question, would I skip this one? naw. I'd do it.

I cleared ten dig-sites at the weekend, and didn't get a single gem; I read and re-read the quest text several times, I was convinced that I must have misunderstood, and was doing something terribly wrong.
On a positive note, I did manage to get three Pristine artifact solves during that time. And at least the Suramar sites were fairly close together, in the western part of the zone, without many hostile NPCs.
However, with that drop rate, I decided to give up on this particular quest. No biggie, I'll see what pops up the next time around.

Yerp, did a dozen sites, got 2 jewels, gave up. It's by far the most time consuming so far - the Aszuna one last month took me 26 digsites to complete and this one was on track to take 30+ sites. I'll do the quest later in the expansion when I am bored I guess. Originally Posted by Futhark

I finished last night. Went from 550 Arch when I started the quest to some amount past 800 when I finally found the 6th one.

Really? At Rank 2 my 107/108 Demon Hunter pulls about about 10 roses to 1 dust every time I go out. Keep wishing for Rank 3 to drop, but meh. Originally Posted by Etamalgren

Not really. I currently get about 3k gold for 20 Starlight Rose on my realm. I can farm up 00 Starlight Rose in about an hour. 5000g for that much time because of RNG isn't worth it. Originally Posted by Etamalgren

They fixed it. Now the wisp drops and drop chance greatly increased.
Got mine after like 7-9 dig sites

If they really did then I knew waiting till last minute to do it would pay off Originally Posted by p835555pe

I found this quest took a long time but it was pretty easy. Suramar is easy to navigate and the mobs around the dig sites are easy to kill and not that populated. No elite or pvp zones. Does anyone else feel this would have been a much better item if it was a cosmetic helm that sold for $5,000 once it's in your transmorg list?

don't forget that you can't get the drop if you're waiting in a raid group

good newsProfessions
Archaeology
It should now be easier to obtain Jewels of Aellis for the quest "Sifting Through the Rubble". Angry Highborne Spirits should now have a 100% chance to drop a jewel.
