Guide to cataclysm archeology, how to get zin'rokh or the staff of sorcerer-thane thaurissan

This is my guide video for how to boost your odds at getting Zin'rokh the world destroyer / the staff of sorcerer-thane thaurissan, the 2h sword and one of the 2h staffs from archeology.

Archeology is essentially a profession centered around gambling. There is no guarantee that you will get any item you are after as everything is based off of drop chance, but there is a way to stack odds more into your favor, or eliminate / lessen the "house edge" of odds stacked against you. This video shows you how to boost your own odds.

YES, using this tactic will slow down the rate at which you gain skillups - atleast initially, but in return it will make leveling 450-525 extremely quick and increase the chances at which you will be able to get the item you want - be it the sword from troll or staff from dwarf (this same principle can be applied to night elf archeology, or any other rare you could possibly want as well.

The goal here is not to get to 525 as quickly as possible, it is to make your skillups count for more - you cannot get the epic weapons untill 450 and above (so says the general consensus on wowhead at present) so you will want your "important" skillups (ie, the ones tied into the race that drops the item you desire) to only be used after you can unlock the item you are after.

Got Zin Rokh in 2 days, its all to do with luck. And you can't "boost" your odds, its all relative 

[belthazor3457]

@MrDutchb0y More rolls of the dice = more opportunities to get the item.

i need some help i need that sword of this but i goy some question

1. i wanted 2 start of as fossil and dwarf were do i go 2 get these ones first

2.he has alot of troll ones so did he level up in troll but saved every ting he got of them ? and were do u get the troll ones im having trouble finding the write starting zones

[belthazor3457]

@JHgamer101 the way it works is the farmable archeology nodes will varry and will have a set number depending on the continent you are on and your archeology skill level. If you stay in the eastern kingdoms, you will get almost entirely dwarf, fossil, and troll digsites.

Would it work if i level up to 450 and stay at it and not train.

Then keep farming troll fragments? will that work on patch 4.2?

[belthazor3457]

@deadlyzin101 Nowadays, there's not much point in holding it at 450, since the vash archeology digsites were removed. However, after blizzard removed the vash archeology sites, they also placed a cap on the amount of fragments you can have at a given time - that cap being 200, so the "more rolls of the dice while leveling the profession" tactic is, while still do-able, less efficient.

[chaosblast20]

ok im maxed in archeoligy and been farming troll and making the items for about a month and never seen the sword but created every common about 10 times each now ...

[CHERRYLxDARKxANGEL]

yea u need to remake this video or sumthing now stupid blizzard made a cap on the fragments cant get no more then 200
