New Archeology race added in 4.1?

[morpsend]

Copied from rewn:

So while checking Wowhead's latest additions I came across:

- http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=69777- Troll Drums
- http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=69775 - Vyrkul Drinking Cup
- http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=69776 - Ancient Amber

They are vanity items and the release of these items coincides with Blizzards latest statement claiming they wish to add more rares items to the Troll, Vyrkul and Fossil races in particular. Honestly, im not impressed though. Some of us out there still don't have Zin'rohk after all these long months grinding and i honestly hoped to see this system so we could "focus" on a particular race released before actually releasing more rares.

Anyway, Discuss.

Also throwing this out there. Since they recently re-introduced http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=69762 back into the PTRS, I have a sneaky suspicion this will be another troll rare since with the removal of level 70 ZA it will become unavailable.

thank you for your post rewn

here are the new items, no new races, just more items in the 3 current races, maybe 4.2 for a new race?

[morpsend]

anyone know if these new items will be in 4.1 patch or 4.2?

[morpsend]

they show at least 1 new rare, the shield, but still nothing on any patch notes or blue posts.

Looks like no new race yet, just more items

[Resentful]

More digging
More mounts!

[Orderr]

Do want Murloc archeology....I remember way back blizz linked something about us not knowing much about them. What better way to build up to say...a Murloc raid!?

[morpsend]

Anyone heard anything new about the new rares added on the PTR?

[Deleted]

Would be cool.. Might have to start digging again if they add more.. But I'd prefer to keep my sanity.. Oh well.

[morpsend]

Howdy. so lets talk about 4.2 now...

[Tordek]

Dragons have been around a long time, they might leave behind artifacts. My money is on them or titans for another archaeology branch.

[Saicam]

Taurens and Humans probably?

Vrykul are the human arch subject really. http://www.wowpedia.org/Vrykul - "There is no extinct "missing link" to humans as the Explorers' League proposed. The vrykul are the missing link. They are the progenitors of humanity".

[ophion1990]

Well i came across some digsites in their area so ogre's? Dunno how old they are as a race though and dragons/taurens/centaurs might be a possibility naga have been added to nelf so thats nothing i guess. Dunno if gnolls and quillboar are possible.

But ogre would be great tbh adding some lore for a "possibly" playable race in the future :d

Blizzard mentioned 7 new ones though and i only count 6 here Hoping on some other cool vanity item

[Chin Music]

The problem with adding new races to archaeology at this point is that there aren't really very many other race ruins to make digsites out of. Titan might work as a Northrend-centric one, with digsites also appearing in Uldum, Un'Goro and Badlands.

But stuff like Tauren? I just don't think they have the ruins. They're an interesting race with a backstory we hardly know a lot about but they don't even have their own dungeon.

[Kaldriss]

It's fun how Humans are such an old race and so wide spread, yet there's no Arcaheology for them yet.

vrykul arch is human arch. humans descended from the vrykul

[Bubblebarbie]

I hope so
New mounts and cute companions!

[robomatticus]

I personally believe there won't be a new arch race for a long, long time.

[morpsend]

lets hope 4.2 brings the new race.

[Kyza]

4.2 should add the Twilight.
Requires 450 to get solves, EK only where Twilight Cultists are.

Orb of the Twilight - Orb of the Sindorei copy/paste, but the garb from the horde quest in TH.
Twilight's Other Hammer = Something vanity

[Jackkernaut]

Hopefully we'll see some Tauren.

Could'nt agree more.
According to the role they are as just as old as Night Elves race but their role is kinda lacking...

Demonic/Burning Legion? Certainly has the locations and lore potential.
