    Archaeology digsite spawn changed?

    Been doing archaeology for 2h tonight. Done EK only. At start I had 1 troll, 2 fossil and 1 dwarf up, had 4 other trolls in these 2 hours, rest are fossil or dwarf.
    Now to the strange thing. Fossil almost always turns into another fossil digsite. And dwarf into dwarf.

    Same for anyone else? :S

    If this change is intended (and if it is even a change, as a start), then you cant focus on flying extra long to get the digsite of your choise, to focus. You will probably end up having only those you don't want, after a while (this is what I did when I started out today).

    If this is a change, then best way to focus on something would probably to be to always take the one closest to you, no matter what.

    Guess we all are (turned 3k fossils into 2400 gold, so not to bad).

    But have you done any archaeology? And have same problem as I do?

    Finally got a troll (after a fossil). And that one spawned a troll, and that troll also spawned a troll. At least I see a pattern here. Will see tomorrow again, to bloody angry with this so I logged.

    There has been some change I believe. Tonight whilst farming I've had a Nerubian digsite in Eastern Plaguelands. No I don't have "Proof" or images etc, but I got a spawn at "Terrorweb Tunnel Digsite" in EPL which turned out, suprisingly to be Nerubian which I thought was limited to Northrend only.

    Was this around before?

    I have never seen it and I have 2x 525 archaeology characters. But it makes sense, why they add one over there.

    I'd guess most likely. Only place related to Tol'vir.

    There are 2 new nerubian dig sites in EK, also additional Tol'vir sites in Uldum (making it more likely to get a digsite there). I think it's now around 20% chance to get a Tol'vir digsite on Kalimdor.

    Both Nerubian and Tol'vir were most 'hard' to get fragments. That's why they added more sites.

    Just had this Nerubian Digsite in EPL and I found another new in Uldum, Snotts Landing. So I had to check out the forums, thanks for the confirmation.

    Not sure if I got what you're telling here - wouldn't this be a huge buff, if a finished Dig site of Race X would spawn another of the same Race? Especially when you're farming for someting?

    It doesn't help that they added the Nerubian ones to The Eastern Kingdoms though. Having a low chance across two continents is still worse than a mediocre chance on one continent.

    It probably isn't as I said. I was just being very unlucky I guess. But if it is a change, then it won't help for focusing farming a race, as it will change into something else (let's pretend a 20% chance for random, and 80% for same race). You would end up in having all that you don't want after a while, and you would be stuck with them for 80% of the finished digsites. This would be as it is today, but much more spikey farming (100 troll fragments str8, then 100 dwarf and 70 fossil, or whatever). And no more 12 troll, 9 fossil, 15 troll, 12 dwarf etc.
