This event is in a location of the famed Battle of Traitor´s Rest between Neltharion´s troops and all the culture of the Dragon Isles eons ago.
This location has loads that has not been uncovered, discovered and recovered. The Archivists need all help they can get to complete this and that is where you as a player will hop in.
How does it Work
There is a Lead Archivist that will give you tasks such as inspecting rocks, get help from elementals, help other archivists, clean up, polishing dragonbones and more.This scenario (event) is similar to what you have seen in the Community Feast Event in which we will wait for the Lead Archivist to give us tasks.
You will work with these tasks for 9 minutes, every 5 minutes. When you complete a task, the Lead Archivist will inspect it and write out information gained that turns into tomes. So basically, you will get Tomes as reward.
There is a progress bar on the screen where you can see your progress in percentage. When you reach 100%, you will be rewarded with a tome. You can reach full bar several times during the 9 minute event.
When 9 minutes have passed, a big dragon will appear to stop you. Killing this dragon will have some kind of reward that is not out at the moment. But it feels like it can be reputation and Mysterious Fragments. Maybe even items that you find in vendor. There is a mount called “Clayscale Hornstrider” that has source “drop from Azerothian Archives”, so this could be a drop from this dragon.
Questline
There is a questline that introduces you to Azerothian Archives, the different characters involved and different items and elementals that you will use in order to find archeological findings.
What are the Tomes?
The tomes are ranked in uncommon (Dusty), rare (Preserved) and epic (Immaculate) quality.
You can interact with these tomes and achieve a new currency called Mysterious Fragment and also reputation for a new faction called Azerothian Archives.
What is Azerothian Archives reputation?
This event is tied to a new reputation faction called the “Azerothian Archives”. This is similar to the Soridormi reputation in 10.1.5. where the reputation is divided in different ranks. There are 5 ranks that you can reach.
