@Goosie:
I hit 450, trained to allow up to 525, then started solving.
so u dont sole any till u hit 450? sorry if im getting this wong
At the risk of rubbing my good luck in to those who haven't gotten it yet...
I banked up over Troll 700 shards while grinding skill ups. As soon as I hit 450 I hearthed to Stormwind, trained, then started combining figuring 700 shards (and about 30 key stones) only gave me the barest chance at this super rare item. 4th combine I got the sword. I finished the shards to get to 525, still had over 100 shards left, and sold my extra troll key stones for over a 100 gold each (made something close to a couple k). Yeah, I feel damn lucky on it.
Why is this the only artifact anyone cares about? I'm working on the epic tol'vir ring and almost done, if uldum digsites weren't so rare.

Didn't keep track of how many troll fragments i dug out but Zin'rokh was my 89th troll project. So that should be roughly 2500 fragments.
At the very least 100 troll solves done, no Zin'rokh. Pisses me off to no limits, but every time I think about making a break or just stopping and focusing on other things some fucktard in my guild gets it (liek another fury warrior yesterday right after getting 525 skill, he apparently was saving all troll fragments for later) and I'm getting pissed and hyped and farm for days again... Pretty sad really, another reason to hate Blizz, this scrub weapon should've had a much higher droprate chance...
59 and nothing
Zin'rokh is the best (tied with Ashkandi from Nefarian normal, which is infinitely harder than doing archaeology and subject to RNG all the same) weapon outside of Heroic raids, unless they nerfed it by a few ilevels, there's no way it should drop more.
Easy for me to say as I already have it though.
I'm well past 100 tries, haven't seen Zin'rokh yet. I've been farming it non stop since I started with archaeology shortly after release of Cataclysm.
Thanks to Elyaan for the great sig!
I'm up to 78 troll frags completed, still don't have it yet. It's all I've been doing for the past four days. No randoms or anything. I've resorted to reading inbetween flights and listening to podcasts. >_<
Just an update with my own farming. I've farmed up 700 Troll frags so far on my alt and im at 230 Arch. At 450 I'll just start spamming troll solves and cross my fingers. If I don't get it this time, well I think I'll finally give up, maybe.
Oh...this is a discouraging thread I want my baby back.(Had it at 60 on my warrior)
