It will replace the three dots at the bottom with a time-to-destination when I start flying. If you look to the left of the panel, you can see that the TomTom arrow is now pointing me towards the Fossil Bank.
In the image above, I have blacklisted Thoradin's Wall, Aerie Peak and Jintha'Alor by rightclicking them, because I want to go to Andorhal. When TomTom is running in tandem with Archaeology Assistant, the TomTom arrow is also hidden by hiding the Archaeology Assistant panels. If you fire up Archaeology Assistant with TomTom active, it will prompt you to switch on integration, however, if, like me, you keep forgetting to switch TomTom on, you can activate the integration manually through the Archaeology Assistant configuration.
ARCHY ADDON WOW UPDATE
If I take a portal over to Kalimdor, or, at this level (which can also be seen above) Outland, the left-hand box will update to show me the nearest dig sites on the continent where I'm based.Īrchaeology Assistant also offers integration with the fantastically popular and simple navigation addon, TomTom. So with these two screens, I can see the closest dig sites to me. You can see from the left-hand panel in the screenshot above that I've been working on two Dwarf dig sites lately, but I haven't completed either, I've done five digs in one, and only three in the other! Hopeless. The boxes are also toggle-able from the minimap button, from which you can also open your archaeology panel and Archy's options. The boxes are also completely moveable, and can be locked from the minimap button.
ARCHY ADDON WOW WINDOWS
As an addon nerd, I love that these windows are pretty much completely customizable to fit in with my UI, so the text, the background, the borders, everything can be adapted to work for your own personal taste. I'm going to do my best to deal with all those queries in this week's column.Īs can be seen from the screenshot above, Archaeology Assistant provides helpful on-screen dialog boxes to clearly display what you're working on, separated by race, and the number of fragments required to complete an artifact. Chief among the addon requests are the following:Ī way to track dig sites and suggest progress between themĪ way to track progress on artifacts by raceĪ way to see if artifacts can be completed with keystonesĪ way to see which artifacts are still out there, undiscovered or incompleteĪn addon to replace Biasha's Archaeology Helper I've also heard of various other improvements that have been applied to Archaeology in Pandaria, but, alas, I have no Archaeologist characters with a sufficient level to do any Archaeology in the new continent.Ī lot of players have messaged me asking about Archaeology addons, thanks for your emails as ever. For starters, you now get six digs at any one dig site, meaning artifacts complete faster, and leveling the profession is therefore faster. Archaeology has been subject to some considerable improvements in Mists of Pandaria.
