[Valdrakken] How to do archaeology past Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms

[Jebidiah]

So this is somewhat of an update post on the thread here. To my knowledge and after talking to GM's most of Draenor's content is broken, so this is excluding WoD. I tried to follow previous link's post, but in my experience I wasn't able to gain lorewalker rep through the scrolls of knowledge (but I did like to read them nonetheless.) I had guild members tell me to buy the scouting maps as that would unlock dig sites (from vendor Krom Stoutarm) but have yet to try that.  What did work for me however, strangely enough, was leveling my battle pets to the trainers in Outlands. The digsites are working there and I'm happy to be able to further my hunt for cool archaeology finds. Will update this post when I unlock the trainers in Northrend and Pandaria. 

I think what works is to 'trigger' an event on the map of the player. Whether that be by buying the scouting maps or by the battle pet trainers.  I'm sure it has something to do with the coding of the maps. If anyone else has found another way of discovering archae digs, let it be known.

1. What realm.

2. What are tryna get from Arch? vial recipe? gnome pet? Title? Zin'rokh? mounts?

Not everything will work on every realm, & to get most stuff together on 1 acc, u'll have to  farm stuff on multiple realm. Just be prepared to farm/buy a crap ton of Spirits of Harmony for vendor.
