Any explanation as to what this "fountain of knowledge" does would be greatly appreciated. :D

Commento di Nefram

Just got this on my server I am now assistant proffesor Nefram :) good luck to you all in getting your title!
you can use upto 3 highborne scrolls to get this makes it go a lot faster instead of running around collecting all 100 fragments.

Commento di Honken

Got this at 150 skill. Could fit 3 scrolls into it.

This really does only bring down a green beam of light on your location. It's a rather large cone of light. Much larger than Elder's Moonstone, a pale shade of green, and a few maple leaves can be seen falling in the light as well. It only lasts a few seconds (7-8 perhaps?). Not really long enough for a raid marker. No buff added either. Also, the light moves with you if you run around.

Commento di Lidmo

Note, does NOT give skillups.

EDIT:
@mckaysalisbury: I was at 201, pretty sure I didn't get skillup to 206. It may be a bug, waiting for ticket atm.

Commento di lormus

'Can only use outside' as of 4.0.3.

Commento di fadeaway

~~Creating this rare does NOT award +5 skill (in fact it doesn't give any), even though other nightelf rares do.~~

Spoke to a GM, he told me "rares do not always give a skillup" and that such was working as intended.

12/23/10 Edit: Now I'm hearing from my guildies that this and other rares award +10 to +15 skill! So now I get to say "When I was your age we had to gather 150 fragments and didn't get ANY skillups!" I guess it pays to slack...

Commento di mckaysalisbury

I got skill ups solving this item (I didn't use any scrolls), maybe you guys were maxxed already?

Commento di 235468

This has been stated before that it summons a beam of green light around you, but others didn't state that it lasts 10 seconds. What I did was macro it together with my hearthstone for a neat little side effect for going home. You could also macro it with teleport spells as well, if you wish.

/use Druid and Priest Statue Set
/use Hearthstone

As for other uses, I'm not sure. My archaeologist is not a Rogue, but if it does not break stealth when used, it could be useful in setting up a small distraction to allow your other stealthed team mates to get around heavily guarded areas a bit easier. If that were the case, it's a shame the cooldown is so long on it.

Edit: It's also worth noting that I got +5 skill points for creating it. Archaeology's recipes do not have a 100% guaranteed skill up though it seems, as I've had two items not increase my skill level.

Of possible note:

The animation was purple for my Shadow Priest. :)

Commento di 632112

This summons a MASSIVE beam of Green / White light and you are surrounded by leaves. Also you should note the beam follows you for about 10 seconds as you move.

I have made a macro:

#showtooltip Holy radiance
/y Holy Radiance Activated! Run to me!
/cast Holy Radiance
/use item:64361

This yells and begins to cast my AoE heal. Everybody in busy situations can see where I am and its really handy in Tol Barad and Alterac Valley.

This is my first WoWhead comment so feel free to thumbs me up! :)

Commento di lunamoonraker

Cast it and switch to druid flight form and it follows you as you fly for a nice effect. Same for flying mount.

Also if used in water the Naga swim animation is cool.

Commento di 666813

#showtooltip Hearthstone
/use Druid and Priest Statue Set
/Cast Hearthstone

Awesome effect. Sadly it only works outdoors.

Commento di 335913

The effect of this item, the green beam, is somewhat disappointing if you are a shadowpriest in shadowform. Barely noticeable, so if you want to use it, shift out of shadowform.

Commento di Felblood

used this item immediately after crafting it and thought that'd be pretty neat for guild 1st kill screenshots. Tried to show a guildie the effect when we zoned into an instance together "can only be used outdoors". The limitations on these things are really starting to bug me.

Commento di 718414

I wish I had jotted down the name it, but I got a buff that (at level 85) increased my spell power by 6% and increased mana by 2161. I noticed the buff after the first time I used it, but as it then had a 56min. timer, I am convinced I got the 1hr. buff upon discovery of the item.

It's a darn shame it's not something that at least happens occasionally on use.

In case I'm out of my gourd, does anyone know of a buff someone might have cast on me with that effect and I just didn't notice? I haven't seen the buff since, so I don't believe it was a player buff.

Commento di sopor30

Best used in conjunction with your Fossilized Raptor. The green beam from the heavens above is difficult to miss, and popping this trinket prior to mounting the aforementioned mount will make you quite visible to everyone in the vicinity. Enjoy. :)

Commento di 679036

My new favorite thing is to slow fall spinning to the ground and popping this. Looks pretty awesome

Commento di 616859

people in my guild are showing off the boas and epics they got through archaeology and the only thing im able to show them is this hunk of $%^&e : /

Commento di Thaag

Something interesting to note:

According to lore, males were not priests and females were not druids until fairly recently.

Commento di 735004

this stupid proffession is broke i swear... i have gotten every single NE rare on the list, except the trinket... u gotta be kidding me....

Commento di Actraiser

In Shadowform it changes to purple. The leaves still appear though.

Commento di Tantojutsu

Green is associated with both wisdom and ignorance - knowledge and inexperience. Some consider these concepts as polar opposites, but in other philosophies they are intertwined, such as Taoism. In the same way, people differentiate modern medical science from ancient, traditional herbal cures. Both science (knowledge) and nature (ignorance) are associated with green. Furthermore, organized religion shunned and silenced their pagan roots; many see them as unassociated. Here we see the "contrasting" Holy Light power of Priests and Nature-based practices of Druids are inseparable, as are men and women.

Ramble, ramble. Perhaps that's reading too much into it, but I love this item, and the color green.

Commento di 240410

This item can be used in arenas

Commento di Jevay

I've had this come up at 89 skill. Just to confirm it's possible to get this earlier than 150.
Patch 4.0.6, by the way.

Commento di 786275

ive actually had this as a red beam before it was when i was in combat if that makes a difference...maybe a health indicator? green=high, yellow=medium, red=low? just a guess :p

Commento di 153089

I found a fun trick you can do involving this Statue Set and a flying mount!

1. Use the Statue Set while standing still.
2. Quickly cast your flying mount.
3. Get in the air, then press the Insert or Delete key while moving forward until you're upside down.
4. You now have a U.F.O. tractor beam! :D

I've spooked a few people in Org while doing this. They thought there was an alien invasion or something! XD

Commento di Zorgone

This was the first artifact i started on my level 25 mage :P

Commento di 794471

Not sure what this does besides light you up. None of my toons are mana users. Does this give mana?

Commento di DrEdgeworth

As a paladin it looks awesome with wings.

/cast Druid and Priest Statue Set
/cast Avenging Wrath

HULK-ANGEL SMASH

Commento di Marwan1584

It doesn't say it on the tooltip, but it only lasts for 10 seconds. You can only cast it when you are outside and not mounted.

Commento di 598343

Wowpedia listed this as being able to be found at 150 - I just had it show up at 89...

Commento di 801172

this popped up in my book at 53 skill level, so obviously it has no req. skill. I wasnt expecting anything but junk for awhile, nice to know it really is random.

Commento di 738000

I was in ruins of eldrarath and i completed a night elf artifact (chest of tiny glass animals), and bam at 430 arch this got unlocked. Maybe its just a coincedence but it happened after another toy set, maybe maybe not :P Happy hunting!

Commento di AnnaRexia

Created Inlaid Ivory Comb and went from 115 to 120 skill. This showed up next. This would be my third N.E. solved item, after Scandalous Silk Nightgown. Three dwarf items solved, 5 fossil (also have hatchling to solve), 4 Troll.

The other two keystone slots that the item takes to help you solve it are very faintly visible.

Commento di 565560

This is the same effect that happens when you are doing the worgen starter area quest Né umani né bestie. You click on three wells to be given the racial that allows you to change back and forth from human to worgen. Each time, you have this effect cast upon you.

Commento di Zeldax

Random Lore Fact: If this acually summoned a statue, it would likely be of Malfurion and Tyrande. :)

Commento di 806336

gives a title right?

Commento di aaliyana

Congratulations! After 100 Night Elf fragments, you now have a green light beam!

Commento di tph88

If I use this, the green beam disappears after a few seconds. Is it supposed to last longer?

Commento di dr00dn00b

Had 113 skill when I got this as next solve. Needed 100 fragments and gave me +15 skill up...

Commento di Rhodrii

Just got this. Still get a few questioning whispers when I pop it in SW!

Commento di mewmewface

Sigh got this today on level 85 archaeology, mind you i have been trying to level for the past 10 hours.

Commento di Yuke

Not to make this a thottbot-esque comment, But you can get this solve from your first point in Archeology. Or well at least by 7, since thats where I got it, but I assume it's the same.
RNG is RNG, though, so you're results may vary.

Commento di xathien

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this yet; my first thought was SHOOP DA WHOOP:

My second night elf solve XD with a skill of 53

Commento di Fredberg

I got this on my alt at a skill of 18.
Got it after my first solve ever on my alt.
Finished the Highborne Pyxis and boom there it was.

Commento di 364088

Finally completed this rare artifact and did too much reading at it says in the Completed Artifacts Section:
"The priest is apparently male and the druid female, which must carry some significance" and this must lead to the fact that back in previous times it was said that male Night Elves could not be Priests and females could not be Druids. Obviously stating that these was one of the first people to be portrayed in the opposite classes for their gender.

I think I analyzed that item a little too much o_o

Commento di Bokkar

Whoever said that it requires 150 skill points to find this is completely wrong. I just started my Arch, and i was able to find it at only 12 skill points. it was my very first Night elf. I am surprised.

Commento di qnasheR

This doesnt last long enough! :(

Commento di 899919

I have this item set with a macro to where everytime i use it i yell "IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER".

Commento di 866741

I was somewhat disapponted in that it doesn't actually summon a fountain of sorts, that would have been moe interesting.

Commento di Evilangelina

Does not require a limit to the discovery, got this at 23 Archaeology.

Commento di 995679

What level must you have in archaeology in order to get keystone pieces?
If there is a post already about it, let me know please :D

Commento di Eonarion

I think I know how to become bigger than 90% in wow, no hacks :D

Commento di Flyra

Using this while under the effect from Rime of the Time-Lost Mariner will cause the beam to turn pink too.

Commento di BMHunterMain

Got this on a BM Hunter I'm rolling on a new realm yesterday & noticed that popping this during Bestial Wrath/The Beast Inside (or vice-versa) will turn the health-meter colored (generally green) beam into the same red "enrage" color as you and your pet.

If you have a Hunter in any spec (or Boomkin with "Boomkin Disengage" Wild Charge talented), you can pop this and disengage off a cliff or other elevated area... if the fall damages you to the point that your health meter turns a color other than green, the beam will change to whatever color your health bar is.

The "fountain of knowledge" this summons does communicate information, specifically your HP... which explains why they worded the tooltip the way they did. Some players (including me) will have this for years and never realize this isn't just a green beam, probably because the last thing most people think about at 10% health is popping some vanity item they got from Archaeology. I am pretty sure someone else wrote a comment mentioning this before, but now I can't find it.
