I Had It in My Hand

Train and practice Archaeology by surveying dig sites across the world to collect fragments, which you combine into completed artifacts — eventually producing a rare artifact to earn this achievement.

Rare artifacts exist across all dig site tiers: Fossil rares include Fossilized Raptor, Fossilized Hatchling, Extinct Turtle Shell, Pterrordax Hatchling, and Ancient Amber; Troll rares include Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds, Voodoo Figurine, and Haunted War Drum; Dwarf rares include Clockwork Gnome, The Innkeeper's Daughter, Chalice of the Mountain Kings, and Staff of Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan; Night Elf rares include Highborne Soul Mirror, Druid and Priest Statue Set, Queen Azshara's Dressing Gown, Bones of Transformation, Tyrande's Favorite Doll, Kaldorei Wind Chimes, and Wisp Amulet; Orc rares include Headdress of the First Shaman; Draenei rares include The Last Relic of Argus and Arrival of the Naaru; Nerubian rares include Blessing of the Old God and Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron; Vrykul rares include Nifflevar Bearded Axe and Vrykul Drinking Horn; and Tol'vir rares include Crawling Claw, Scepter of Azj'Aqir, Staff of Ammunae, and Pendant of the Scarab Storm — completing any single one of these will grant the achievement.
