Where the skill is trained 21

The NPCs subtitled “Archaeology Trainer”, with the zone recorded for each – the zone and never a place. No dig sites, and no fragment counts. Where a dig site is, this hub cannot know: the game hands that to an addon only for the map the player is looking at, so there is nothing to import – and the game's own Mists world map already draws them. How many fragments somebody has is the player's own state.

2 of 21 trainers stand in Pandaria: Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Isle of Thunder. The rest are where the skill has been taught since it was added, an expansion before this one.

The database records no zone at all for Lady Ironpants 47683 – it has the row and no place on it.

Quests that require Archaeology

Not one of the 11,362 quests in this hub requires Archaeology. That is what the quest data records, and not a statement that the game has no such quest.
