Seeking to complete a newly unlocked rare artifact? Then this post is for you!

There are three rare Troll artifacts:

Zin'rokh, Distruttrice di Mondi requiring 150 fragments with 3x Tavoletta dei Troll that can be used (I am yet to unlock this precious)
Tamburo di Guerra Infestato requiring 100 fragments with 3x Tavoletta dei Troll that can be used (my 7th Troll solve)
Statuetta Vudù requiring 100 fragments with 3x Tavoletta dei Troll that can be used (my 21st Troll solve)

While I may not have solved all 32 archaeological rares (I have 20 thus far), after hundreds of hours dedicated to the cause I can say this - there is a method to the madness! And I say madness because archaeology is one profession that should not be taken lightly. Get ready to dig... Lots.

When you arrive at a dig site, take a look around you. The surrounding mobs will generally be the best indication of what kind of archaeological finds you may uncover while surveying there. If you're surrounded by ogres, or something less obvious, then consider what the local settlements are predominantly comprised of, or who the local lore is related to.

In the Hinterlands or STV you'll be surrounded by throngs of trolls - and whadya know, the Troll Archaeology Finds go hand in hand. Wetlands, Badlands and Burning Steppes are all known for their dwarven dwellings - and similarly, so are most the archaeological finds. If animals dominate the land, then appropriately you will often find fossils.

Archaeologically speaking, the Night Elves thoroughly dominate Kalimdor, Dwarves and Trolls the Eastern Kingdoms, and Fossils neatly scattered across both. Outlands are only for the Orcs and Draenei archaeological finds. While Northrend is proving most interesting with Night Elvish and Troll Fragments popping up in addition to the expected Nerubian and Vrykul Fragments. For anything Tol'Vir, it's all in Uldum and Uldum alone (will update if this changes). Unfortunately, dig site spawn locations in Uldum share the same continent as Kalimdor - maximum total of four. This means you're gonna have to keep digging Fossil & Night Elf Frags (among others) all over Kalimdor in order to possibly have the Uldum dig sites spawn. Stay tuned!

There are always exceptions to every rule, but you'll find by and large that the above theory holds true. For those of you seeking dig site locations only, see below.

Troll Archaeology Fragments in the following dig site locations (revised and updated 16/02/12):

Eastern Kingdoms

Arathi Highlands - Witherbark Village
Cape of Stranglethorn - Ruins of Aboraz, Gurubashi Arena, Ruins of Jubuwal, Nek'Mani Well Spring
Eastern Plaguelands - Zul'Mashar
Hinterlands - Jintha'Alor, Shadra'Alor, The Altar of Zul, Agol'watha, just west of Skulk Rock
Northern Stranglethorn - Bal'lal Ruins, Fort Livingston, Ruins of Zul'Mamwe, Balia'mah Ruins, Ruins of Zul'Kunda
Swamp of Sorrows - south of Temple of Atal'Hakkar (along the lakeshore)

Kalimdor

Tanaris - Zul'Farrak, Southmoon Ruins, Eastmoon Ruins, Broken Pillar, Land's End Beach

Northrend

Grizzly Hills - Drakil'jin Ruins
Zul'Drak - Altar of Quetz'lun, Zol'Heb (just south of Gundrak), Altar of Sseratus, Zim'Rhuk

Fossil Archaeology Fragments
Dwarf Archaeology Fragments
Night Elf Archaeology Fragments
Draenei Archaeology Fragments
Orc Archaeology Fragments
Vrykul Archaeology Fragments
Nerubian Archaeology Fragments
Tol'vir Archaeology FragmentsMogu Archaeology Fragments
Pandaren Archaeology Fragments

For a complete tally of ALL the archaeology solves you have slaved through, use the following macro (updated for MoP):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,12 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(9, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

This will produce a list like this:

Total artifacts
Dwarf: 44
Draenei: 11
Fossil: 64
Night Elf: 179
Nerubian: 4
Orc: 12
Tol'vir: 128
Troll: 87
Vrykul: 8
Pandaren: 25
Mogu: 26

Also-there are fossil fragments near Grom'Gol (Or Kal'ai ruins)

As there are no rare troll artifacts except Zin'Rokh, which is unlocked at skill level 450, it's advisable to save these fragments until then.
The bad part is, about half of the sites on Eastern kingdoms are troll.
The good part is you'll have a rather good chance of getting Zin'Rokh with the fragments you'll have collected by trying leveling and getting dwarf and elf artifacts.

tol'vir is also at Temple of Uldum, The Cursed Landing, Ruins of Ammon, and Schnottz's Landing, Temple of The Moon and East of Halls Of Origination

and Troll sword is starting to get a major pain in the ass to get at total of 86 solves witch 2 of em are rare and with a avg of around 35 fragments each solve brings me to 100+100+ 84x35=100+100+2940=3140 fragments just in troll arch......also seen proof of somone beeing above 1200 solves in troll without getting sword incl the 2 new rares that was added in later patch witch is about 42200 fragments

I highly recommend the Archy add-on. Makes tracking digs 1000 times easier.

Stupid question but where are they fragments stored so you can tell how many you have at any one time? nothing seems to be displayed in the currency tab of my character info.
