Raider's Guide to Archeology For Quick Pre-BIS | Cataclysm Classic

Some small changes with pre-patch now live. So far the only difference is that you can only gain skill points from surveying until 50. Will keep you posted if I find any other differences, positive or negative. Update: You no longer need to do any shenanigans with stopping at 375 to avoid pushing yourself into getting digsites in Uldum or Twilight Highlands. Just keep going straight to 450 and start solving.

Love the Cata videos! Keep em coming. Glad I found your channel. Hyped for beta-prepatch-release.

big appreciate your cata content!

The speculation given for the chances of the rare crafts @ 3:40 is honestly absolutely wild.

Ty for cata videos!

For anyone watching during the classic pre-patch, you will not get any leveling skills after 50 now, not 100 as was said in the video. So when you hit 50 and then no more leveling from frags comes, you'll know why :)

I loved arch in cata, I always found it surprisingly relaxing

Also do we know if your ability to proc the rare projects is skill level locked AND character level lock or not? I.e if i go nuts in the prepatch can i get zin'd rokh in my bags at level 80?

So only at 450 can we craft the Night elf doll trinket. & we should do it with the scroll in its keystone place? Also which zones do I survey to get highborn scrolls?

Gracias por el video espero tener suerte en que me salga el bastón

If the cap is 200 in cata, surely the idea then would be to get 450 in the prepatch horde shards then solve like crazy before release hoping to hit your item?

I have seen some videos where they have like 800 saved up, but It is only letting me save 200 fragments. Do I need to go buy an upgrade somewhere to hold more??

Nice video, although there are two points I'd like to add. First of all, if youre going for 359 epics, those don't have a chance of appearing until 450 skill, so it's best to avoid solving troll & dwarf as much as possible until then. Secondly (and this also helps with the former point) Outland is the #1 place to level archeology once you start getting digsites there. Every continent has their own digsite pool and Outland is by far the smallest continent so the travel times are very short in comparison to EK and Kalimdor. In addition there are only orc or draenei digsites in Outland which don't have any 359 epics, so you're not forced to spend fragments and therefore waste your chance on 359 epics.

I have a ton of time now to level archeology, would itbe better to save my keystones for when Im trying to get epic level gear?

Hey! Now since we are getting archaeology in the prepatch, i assume we can level to 450. Does this mean we can already start digging towards the epic items? I was also wondering about the 5 skill points for common and 15 for rares. Does this diminish at all or does it stay the same? If it stays could we then save up the fragments in prepatch and instantly hit 525 once cata releases with like 15 solves? Love every video so far by the way!

Nice video ! btw can i get the epics in prepatch at 450?

3:31 if 450 is the minimum required for epic gear to show up does that mean we'll be able to get the epics in the pre-patch considering that the cap before cata release is 450?

im a little confused, should we stay in Eastern Kingdoms till 100 then mvoe to Kalimdor? Really appreciate your video and your response

Zinrokh has less than 2% drop rate in all versions of wow for arch also you need the minimal archeology addon. Painful to watch anyone arch without it

so if we want the staff we should wait to solve dwarf until were skill 450?
