I almost gave up on my Archaeology profession today. After finding out why I wasn’t seeing anymore Fossil digsites, I had to go for the others.<\/p>\n
Before I could, though, I had to eat my dinner. When I got back, I couldn’t join the server. They were all down.
\nChecked the day. It’s not Tuesday. So why are they all down? So I went to the forums. A GM said the servers aren’t actually “down”, but something isn’t allowing them to show up on the Realm List. Every now and then you see a single server come up, then go down.
\nIt took a good half an hour until they finally showed up.
\nI couldn’t connect. So I tried shutting off WoW and trying again, similar to what happened when Cataclysm was released. And I got right in.<\/p>\n
Finally back ingame, we go to Kalimdor to continue fragment digging, thinking if I do Night Elf fragments, then eventually I would start getting Fossil fragments. Took alot longer than I hoped, but I got a couple.
\nWent to Un’Goro. Finished off another useless, yet quite profitable Common artifact that was worth a whopping 100g, then I saw it.. “Fossilized Raptor”. 100 fragments to make. I wanted to jump for joy.<\/p>\n
Took a long ass time going through more Night Elf and Troll artifacts, occasionally getting a few Fossil digsites.
\nSoon I had 79\/100 when I was back in Un’Goro. Went to Tanaris for another Fossil digsite. Got to 90\/100.
\nI thought for sure I probably won’t have the required fragments ’till tomorrow.<\/p>\n
But if you believe in miracles, one came up. After finishing off another Troll site in Tanaris, another Fossil site popped up in Dustwallow Marsh. Literally ran for it, and finally had the 100th fragment and got the mount.
\nI also got the Artisan Archaeology achievement. Due to this, sites in Outland have been unlocked for me. I can now get Draenei and Orc fragments there. Two being in Nagrand, and one being right in the faction-controlled island of Halaa. No doubt I have to wait ’till the Alliance has control of it.<\/p>\n
But what will I do now that I finally got the Fossilized Raptor? Well, there’s … something else that caught my eye today. Something very<\/em> expensive, but.. I say well worth the price tag.<\/p>\n . I hovered over it, and… my jaw dropped to the floor when I read what it does; “Teaches you how to transform into a dragon”. Even as I type this, I WANT THAT THING!!! \ud83d\ude00 Unfortunately, it’s way<\/strong> out of my price range. Nearly 50,000g. I would set up another macro for going back into “human form”. And also, going to GS and yelling “Hey, look at me! I’m a dragon!! WOOT!!!” As I was leaving, some guy in General asks for a price check for the vial, and some other items. Told him that the vial is worth 50k. The reason I stopped myself is he could had told a friend, who would had told his friend, who would had told a GM and had me busted. I’ve learned to not trust anyone. I bet he didn’t even have the item. Probably pasted the name from the AH. So, that’s what’s been going on today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I almost gave up on my Archaeology profession today.

\nI mentioned before I was thinking of dropping the profession. Went back to GS to rest for awhile. I have noticed no one is buying any of the Darkmoon Faire cards in the AH, and time is starting to run out for them. So I went to SW to check up on them.
\nI then decide to check this Mounts tab. Inside, you can get that Touring Rocket I’ve been hearing about, that you get for recruiting a friend who buys an account.
\nBut there was one mount in there, different from the rest. It was a potion. “Vial of the Sands”.<\/p>\n
\nBut seriously. Turn into a DRAGON.. that has to be the most epic thing I’ve ever seen or heard in this game. Even seen proof through Youtube. You can actually have someone ride on YOU, for a change.
\nIf I had my hands on that, the first thing I would do is to make a macro, and use this;
\n\/y DRAGON FORM!!!
\ncast Vial of the Sands<\/p>\n
\n.
\nWhat is strange is it seemed like the thing was just implemented today. What I mean is in Trade, they were talking about it. A guy who got back from also having his account hacked, got the fucking thing for free. FREE. LUCKY son of a bitch! And what did I get? Lame Darkmoon Faire cards that won’t fucking sell in the AH. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
\nHe PMs me, asking me if I wanted it. I said “ahahah.. I wish”, and said that I don’t have 50k.
\nHe said that I could get it with real money. Yeah, I can. But hello.. it’s against the TOS?!
\nI nearly said “Ehh… I’ve done it in the past. Going to play legit for now on”, but stopped myself and instead told him “Yeah, if you want to get in trouble with Blizzard.” His response was “ok my bad”.<\/p>\n
\nThen again, he was a Level 1, with the word “bank” in his name. Obvious bank alt.<\/p>\n
