A dream to reunite the disparate souls trapped under the lock and key of the Alliance. So he raided the internment camps, freeing those orcs that he could, and reached out to a downtrodden tribe of trolls to aid him in rebuilding a Horde where orcs could live free of the humans who defeated them so long ago. That orc's name was... Rend.

    Archaeology gear is not meant to gear you up. It's just stuff to do if you want to know more about the lore. What gear you get from it can be used, but it's not super good...

    Keystones have 2 important uses. As you can see on WoWhead, they're required for creating certain items. That's the first use. The second use is that you can place them in current archaeology projects pertaining to that particular race's keystone and add something like 10 free points to the project to finish it faster. You can only use one keystone per project in that manner, and each keystone HAS to be from that race of the project that you want to finish.

    As to where you get them, they're random RNG drops from artifacts that you pull up from digsites. I seemed to be getting them at a rate of 1 every other digsite or so, sometimes 1 every 3 digsites.

    You follow that? Probably not the worlds best explanation of it, but still. I can try to elaborate more on it if you need me to. Or if anyone else has a better explanation, have at it. I haven't been on the beta in a couple of weeks, so.

    So lets say i have an item that doesnt require a keystone which needs 100 fragments, i collect the 100 fragments and i have to check first by adding some keystones if it will change to a rare item which requires 100 fragments?

    No. Short/blunt version is this: It's basically an extra 12 fragments per project. You can only use one keystone per project in this manner, and the keystone will be consumed after use. It doesn't change it to a rare find. It basically just means that if you have 20 fragments of a given race and one keystone of that race, and you need 30 to finish the project, you can add the keystone to that project and finish it right then and there instead of having to go to another digsite and dig up more fragments.

    Wow, why couldn't I just say that the first time? That seems so much clearer. Sorry about that, lol.

    Keystones are used on artifacts with 35 or more fragments required to solve. Every race but fossils has one. It is possible to get up to 3 in a single node, and 35-44 fragments can use 1 keystone, 45-99 use 2, and anything beyond 100 use 3.
