[[Archaeology]] dig site locations are player specific, meaning unlike {{ability|Mining}} and {{ability|Herbalism}}, players are not competing against each other for access<ref>[[Ghostcrawler]]'s [http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?sid=2000&topicId=26726035891 explanation of Archaeology]</ref>. Dig sites have three finds before they get tapped out and a new one opens up. There are four dig sites active at any one time on each of the four continents. Get to a dig site and use {{ability|Survey}} to drop a telescope pointing in the direction of the find with an attached red-yellow-green marker. Red is over 100 yards away, yellow is 50-100 yards away, green is less than 50 yards away. Players must be within approximately 10 yards of the find for it to appear.

This page is for those who enjoy roleplaying and wish to make a record of the events and storylines that they create either through RPing or other means. This is not a worklog or a journal for your Warcraft gameplay, but more of a fan fiction lore section for you to chronicle your Warcraft-derivative storylines. It focuses on roleplaying and stories that evolve from events occurring in-game rather than the [[Roleplaying Forum Writing Guide|forum posting]] type that involves users responding to each other's posts and creating a story based on that out-of-game. Examples of what should be listed here are [[Players|player character]] biographies and [[Guild]] articles with a written history or background, usually revolving around existing in-game events but elaborating upon them by involving your characters.

This form of player-created material does not necessarily have to rely strictly on canon Warcraft lore, especially if a player character has a unique back-story independent of Warcraft history. Just as long as a story of some kind exists, it is worthy of the Roleplaying Compendium.

!Name !! Location !! Zone !! Type
Please add only detailed characters to this list. If your character is just a name, level, race and class, it is uninteresting. A roleplayer needs more than just flat characters; they need characters of interest with an expansive breadth of background information. Try to immerse yourself into the character while writing him or her, so they can have a life of their own. What are the character's dreams, accomplishments, beliefs, prejudices, desires, companions, etc.? If your character interacts with another character of minor importance, please do not make a separate stub on the insignificant character. Nobody wants to click on the name's link to find one sentence on your minor character. Just content yourself with having a little information inside your major character's story.

Archaeology icon Cataclysm Archaeology (Profession)

Archaeology dig site locations are player specific, meaning unlike Mining and Herbalism, players are not competing against each other for access[1]. Dig sites have three finds before they get tapped out and a new one opens up. There are four dig sites active at any one time on each of the four continents. Get to a dig site and use Inv misc shovel 01 [Survey] to drop a telescope pointing in the direction of the find with an attached red-yellow-green marker. Red is over 100 yards away, yellow is 50-100 yards away, green is less than 50 yards away. Players must be within approximately 10 yards of the find for it to appear.
