Archaeology Pets
Archaeology was added to WoW as a secondary profession with the Cataclysm expansion, and one of the first things I heard about it was that I could get a pet through it. However, I was also told that the pet depended on lots of grinding and some luck..
I’ve made a few runs for Archaeology, usually combining it with herb collecting or visiting a digsite if it was on my route, and I’ve collected a couple of toys: Ancient Amber, which traps your character in a chunk of amber for a while; the Druid and Priest Statue, which produces a beam of green light, and the Haunted War Drum, which sets a ghostly drum on the ground and plays a little drum sound too. 🙂
Only a few days back, I completed a Fossil artifact and found that my next one would be the Fossilized Hatchling! Today, I completed it!
I was about to finish for the day when I realised I’d collected more than enough fragments to complete some other artifacts..
As I’d been looking forward to the Hatchling, I hadn’t been paying attention to any of the other branches. I completed the current Dwarven artifact and noted that the next item was the Clockwork Gnome.. and very nearly finished too!
A few digsites later..
I’m now on 95 companion pets and 52 mounts 🙂
