Tried and True

Tried and True is a quest for level 45. It is step 2 of 3 in the Legion Archaeology storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azsuna at 47.6, 42.7. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

I have realized through experience that the old methods are usually the best and for good reason. I'm done with alternate means of digging for now, and wish to focus on the right way to do things.

That being said, I believe I've found a new powerful artifact and I'll do literally anything to have it.

I've uncovered a fragment that appears to be a mold for a key. I now simply need the other pieces.

Dig at any of the archaeology sites in Azsuna to receive these. I got my first 7 pieces directly from digs. Then one of the angry spirits popped up and I looted 4 off of him. Thought it was worth mentioning that you can not loot off someone elses angry spirit even if you tag it. I had another player keep damaging my spirits but he couldn't loot them.

Side note: The Tidal Marsh dig site is up between Azsuna and Val'Sharah but it doesn't show up on the map. It is right above the Chilliane's Terrace flight path near the daily falcosaur quest.

For the quest you must obtain 15 Azsunian Key Mold Pieces. The drop rate on these is very low, however, the angry spirits have a significantly higher drop rate. On average I'm currently getting less than one per dig site. Happy grinding!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Academic ExplorationLevel 45

    <name>, good to see you. What do you think of my shop so far? Not too bad for just one person, huh? By the way, High Examiner Tae'thalan has been digging around Azsuna, and asked that I send you to see him. Knowing him, he probably thinks he's found yet another world-shatteringly powerful artifact.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Keys to SuccessLevel 45

    I'd like you to take the mold to the blacksmith in Dalaran. Alard, I believe his name is. Have him help you forge a new set of keys. I found some writing on the back of the mold that may hold the answer to what these keys unlock. I'll stay here and try to translate the text.
