Guide awaiting review

1

Farm Arakkoa Fragments

Gather Arakkoa Archaeology fragments until you have 200, which is the amount required to solve the Ancient Nest Guardian artifact.

2

Collect Four Arakkoa Ciphers

Obtain up to four Arakkoa Ciphers before attempting to solve — you can either collect them through Archaeology or purchase them from the Auction House. Having them ready before you hit your fragment cap prevents wasting fragments while hunting for more.

3

Solve the Artifact

With 200 Arakkoa fragments and your Ciphers in hand, solve the Ancient Nest Guardian artifact in your Archaeology journal to receive the pet.

Tips

  • Arakkoa Ciphers can fill up to four keystones slots in the solve, so having all four ready before solving will save you from being fragment-capped while still needing more ciphers.
