Description
View all your artifacts progress, and solve them in one compact frame. Also you can view all your artifact history neatly sorted by race, and a list of dig sites. You can left-click the keystone button to attach keystones (or right-click to remove), or if you prefer there are options to automatically use keystones! You can monitor the artifacts progress, or how close you are to the fragment cap.

It means races that you have reached fragment cap with.
There are no dumb questions, just dumb feature descriptions :)
In reply to MisterFox9:
Thanks! hmm... I suppose I don't understand because as I see it there is no cap? We reach the amount, solve the puzzle, then start a new one.
The cap means a loot limit here, for most races it's 200. Fragment-cap related settings in the addon are mostly used for fossil fragments, when you don't want to solve them, but you still collect them for the Darkmoon Faire quest.
Other than that it's just a user preference, some users want to see the number of fragments needed for the next solve (and solve them immediately), others collect fragments to the cap, and solve them in bulk.

Ahhh-ha! That makes sense. Thank you so much MisterFox9!

I wish I could give them a hug. It is so beautifully and thoughtfully made. I am something of an addon collector and this one... I am just so impressed. Excellent work!
Seems every time i complete an artefact it jumps to dwarf archeology
Hi, is there any particular reason you're solving artifacts in the stock archaeology window?
In reply to MisterFox9:
Is there any reason not to??
You can solve artifacts in the MinArch main window and the Companion, also, you can check your artifacts, their progress and their descriptions in the History window. Do you experience any issues with these, or you just prefer the stock archaeology window?
Is it possible to do a double left-click survey?
Currently it's double right-click only
I love this addon, thankyou for making it. If I can make a suggestion?
I would love it to send me to the closest fp that I can use, and then tell me the closest fp to the digsite.
Anyway this is an awesome addon. Peace
Thank you, happy to hear that. Finding the closest FP would be a great addition, I'll consider it in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi,
First of all I love this addon! It does everything I want and it does it better than Archy did :D
But to my question.. Is it possible to be able to change the UI for the digsite/history window? Mostly the bars and the borders is what I'm interested in.
I'm currently using ElvUI and it does help to some extent but it would be nice if I were to change the bars and spacing and what not :)
Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Turns out I broke the ability of AddOnSkins (ElvUI skins plugin thingy) to skin MinArch's skill bars with a recent update I made. I notified the developer about the changes needed to make it work on his end.
Also, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like the addon :)
hi guy! i have some trouble with your addon, when i move the window... only main frame is moving and the completions bars are stuck in the middle of the screen... If you need a screenshot for more info just ask it to me.
There was an issue with this in an earlier version, could you verify that you're using the latest 9.0.3.3 version?
I just started using this addon (and love it btw, I FINALLY understand Archaeology...) however I've noticed that the addon is always displayed on my screen. I've had to resort to disabling it in order to hide the little survey/distance bar. I've tried all the toggles (left click and alt+left seem to do the same thing?) however none of them hide this little bar.
I've gone into settings and told it to "always start hidden" but it still shows. Am I missing something? Is disabling the addon the only way to hide that bar when I'm not doing archaeology?
