New Gear for Archivists in Patch 10.2.5 - Backpacks, Chisel, and Rifle

This week's Dragonflight Patch 10.2.5 PTR build brings exciting new additions to the game. Among them are some brand-new Archivist's gear, including two backpacks, a chisel, and a gun! These additions have caught the attention of players and are already generating buzz within the community.

New Archivist's Gear

One of the standout items in this PTR build is the Historian's Hefty Habersack. This backpack not only provides additional storage space for players, but also comes with a stylish design that matches the Unearthed and Explorer sets recently discovered. These sets feature an archaeology theme and include various tools like picks and torches.

Another intriguing addition is the Archivist's Stone Chisel. This tool seems to be a perfect fit for archaeologists searching for ancient artifacts. Its inclusion in this build further emphasizes the importance of archaeology in the upcoming Patch 10.2.5 content.

However, the most unexpected item in the Archivist's gear collection is the Archivist's "Light Touch" gun. While players may not typically associate guns with archaeology, this weapon serves as a reminder to always be prepared for dangerous encounters during expeditions in Azeroth.

• Azerothian Archives

It's already been speculated that these new items are related to the upcoming Azerothian Archives activity set to be introduced in Patch 10.2.5. The Historian's Hefty Habersack solidifies this speculation as it can only be obtained by reaching the highest rank, Tenured, within the Azerothian Archives faction.

Azerothian Archives promises to be an exciting adventure for players, offering the opportunity to discover the history of the Dragon Isles. Expect to meet captivating characters, listen to tales from the past, and marvel at the ancient iconography of a forgotten time. The activities within Traitor's Rest will include both solo and group content, with a Weekly Public Event providing plenty of opportunity for exploration and the chance to earn coveted rewards such as Battle Pets, Mounts, and a Transmog set.

To enhance gameplay balance and address player feedback, Patch 10.2.5 brings a range of class changes. These adjustments aim to fine-tune each class's abilities, ensuring a more enjoyable and fair experience for all players.

• Weekly Catalyst Charges in 10.2.5

In this PTR build, a new feature is being introduced: Weekly Catalyst Charges. This addition will allow players to obtain weekly charges that can be used to activate powerful catalyst effects in specific zones. This feature adds a new layer of strategy to gameplay as players must carefully decide when and where to use their charges for maximum impact.
