Azerothian Archives — New World Event in Patch 10.2.5
Below we have a quick excerpt from the guide.
Unlike most activities in the Dragon Isles, the Azerothian Archives offers no player power — No gear or character enhancemnets is given through this activity. Instead, think of the Azerothian Archives as something to do on your off-time that includes a whole new reputation and explorer-themed rewards! There are a lot of transmogs and a few mounts/pets from this event.
The introduction quest for the Azerothian Archives can be found at flyers scattered across Valdrakken. Interacting with any of them starts the quest To the Archives!, which sends you to the main hub of the Azerothian Archives — They're by a tower in a floating island just to the north of Alge'thar Academy in Thaldraszus.
Completing this introduction quest unlocks two quests that server as introduction for the solo mechanics in the Azerothian Archives — Excavation 101 and Technoscrying 101. This is also where you pick up the weekly quest for the Big Dig events, The Big Dig: Traitor's Rest.
