1. is a tall vase
2. is loose soil
3. ancient chest orso
4. upstairs near the end raptor mob.

"'Divine plan" and a "Doomed prophecy.'"
"'Old Gods. . .Chained Beneath the Land.'"

Theory

Divine Plan: Titans imprisoning the Old Gods beneath the land, so they do no more harm.

Doomed Prophecy: The Old Gods will eventually break free of their bonds and terrorize Azeroth once more.

There is a simple macro for displaying the above coordinates to help you locate quest items:

Macro:
/script px,py=GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format("[ %s ] %s , %s",GetZoneText(),px,py))

Just copy it in and assign a action button...

Found the Neru Fragment at 36,42 behind a tree, but I guess the locations are random. If you tried other places with no luck, check this spot too, might be there.
Edit: Found it also at 34,47 with another character

Qamgine noted this, but it's worth stating explicitly -- the spawn points for the fragments will vary by individual.

I.e., I did this quest, then went back later to help my girlfriend do it. The places she found the fragments were all different than where I found them.

A group is certainly helpful, but I am not sure it's needed -- there were so many people killing here both times I spent time it didn't seem like there was much probem keeping the area mostly clear.

One nice thing about this is you are a skinner -- with the fast respawn times there is LOTS of leather available. Plenty of medium leather, and a fair bit of heavy leather. Even got a few heavy hides. Lots of people leave their corpses around for you to skin.

I had the hardest time finding snarltooth so here's how for anyone that needs it:

Go to 31, 48, climb up JUST A TAD - DO NOT GO PAST 31, 48! Then turn LEFT, follow the curve, you'll see boards and boxes, go up the boards and there is Snarltooth (box handy 9/10 times)

Found it on 34,52 after 30 mins finding
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g36/freekevin/untitled-1.jpg

There are four different things to find.

1) Loose Soil: Looks like a mound of dirt.

2) A stone case: square stone thing

3) Tall thin Vase:

4) Short fat vase:

They appear at random spots all throughout the camp. As others have said, the raptors spawn very fast. Best to have a group with you.

2300 xp, not 230.

I found another spot. from the ledge the boss is on, jump down to another ledge to the east. you have to go past the boss. I'm not sure if this is the same ledge you see from the cave where the NPCs are, or if that's another ledge, and whether the relics might be able to appear on that one as well or not.
I wasted probably an hour trying to find that. and it rained at one point.

I found a really evil one. I had 2, the tall and the fat vases. Well, i found the crypt and looted. I was about to go, but i saw glimmer. THE LOOSE SOIL WAS INSIDE THE CRYPT!! Ah. By the way, their usual place (random):
Always check behind Sarltooth ,
The great tree at the roads leg which leads to the dwarves,
The little house-wreck,
In the middle of the site.

I found Ados at 33,51.&nbsp It's more like a big grey box right nex to Sarltooth for the third part of Omer's Revenge.

All spots are random, and some are hard to find (Golm was on the other perch)
if you read this and are having difficulties, this should have helped

well, all my artifacts were off the beaten path

1. loose soil - found near a wooden ramp outside ditch re-popped near another wooden ramp inside ditch.

2. a stone case (my description would be an ancient burial coffin of some sort) - found behind tree going to ramp that goes to where Prospector Whelgar and Merrin Rockweaver are hiding re-popped in ditch closest to ramp behind ruin wall

3. a tall thin vase (tall brown vase w/ greek head picture) - found infront of Snarltooth re-popped behind short ruin wall close to a bridge (the closest bridge to Snarltooth)

4. a short vase (short brownish spittoon-like vase w/ what looks like tribal gnomes holdings shields and spears) - found in hidden nook behind wrecked campsite re-popped in the middle of the excavation area

Reason for all this: (1.) there's gotta be a method to this randomness (2.) so people know what they're looking for (3.) guess-timation on where to look

Hope this helps

Oh, BTW ... these things (except the soil) are massive, so when we say Tall thin vase, it's not like the one stem flower vases you see in grocery store floral section, it's Taller than my character, and she's an elf

another spawn point is next to a tree between the two bridges

Was at the very back by the tents and supplies in front of one of the tall boards.

Fu**ing hell ! A lot of writing but not LOC. come on, we don't really care about all this .. this forum is for LOC. to help people find quest easy not to say what level you are and stuff like that..

I have twice found the Neru fragment on a ledge that is only accessable by going up to the ledge that Sarltooth is on, and behind where he spawns - then jumping down.

I had a really tough time trying to find the neru fragment. I believe it's a random spawn and it is found inside some loose soil. Just move your maouse around and see when the curser changes. Easy to solo at level 25-26.

found neru fragment at 34,43 up the hills on the right site toward the back in a pile of soft dirt.

i did it in 2 sek

I think it must be said that the items changes positions evrytime they got opend

One of them is like a mud spot,
A other is lake chest
One is like a Tall Urth
and the last is a littel fat urth!

Did the quest, i found it easy. Found the artifacts in a few minutes. Just look aroud and you will see them. They don't fit that well in the suroundings.

I was with a mate and we found the peices at different points for each of us.

Dont forget to chck behind the tree at the bottom of the climb up to the cave. Another odd spot was high on the ledge at the far side of the pits. We got there by climbing the slopes at the right rear corner of the pit area

ive scoured this excavation sight 5 times over and have still not found the loose soil.....grrrrr! if anyone has any ideas on a part i might be over looking..... any input would be appreciated...:)

I had trouble finding one, and it ended up being behind the tree next to the path heading up to the prospector, kinda an odd easily missed spot, so if your having trouble check it.

Here you go people ..
Golm Fragment - 35 , 51
Ados Fragment - 33 , 49
Modr Fragment - 34 , 47
Neru Fragment - 32 , 50

[red]Those are sure the right ones ! [/red]

And you all if u want to help people HELP THEM !

1) No longer can abandon quest without losing fragments
2) Fragments spawn in random containers, steel boxes, and loose soil
3) Neru is the hardest to find sometimes, it is completely out of your vision at times on a hill behind Sarltooth. I've included an image. Good luck

Couldn't find the last artifact (Golm fragment), went away to do another quest, returned a while later, and found it immediately.

I see that there is different oppinions and experiences but this is how I found it. I found the two first fragments pretty easy. some was in the soil right in the first "hole" when you come down from the path or up from the road. I walked under two bridges and there was another. Then I spent some time looking for the next ones. I moved closer back to the left when you have your back against the first two bridges (when facing the ledge with sarltooth on) but couldn't find i. I decided to move my cursor up a little too take a overview and then I found that there was another vase up on a lower ledge than sarltooth (the 29 raptor) was on. After some research in the area I decided only way to get there was to go through Sarltooths ledge. I kicked him and his companions up there and discovered Sarltooth had been watching over one of the fragments. Jumped over to the lower lvl ledge and got the forth one. My point is, if you have a hard time finding it look up on the two ledges (the one with Sarltooth and the one right aside of it) A good tip if it is up there is also to combine Sarltooth- quest with this one so you wont have to kill him twice (I had already killed him for the quest earlier and had to kill him twice anyways)

I found the first 3 pretty easy... then I died 6 times trying to find the Golm fragment which was on the ledge with sarltooth... and almost died again. >,<

They changed it i think.

Its random spawn now and i found one of those next to the raptor boss(29) that you need to kill in the other Quest.

some can spawn in some hard places not in the middle only so check the mountains

Edited, Sun Jul 17 19:57:59 2005

Right, you're looking for:

A small mound of brown earth.
A large yellow urn.
A tall reddish brown urn.
A large stone casket with a gold trim.

They spawn randomly, no fixed location, hope this helps.
