As someone who traditionally hated profs, i remember cata arch being one of the only times i took part due to the cool and unique rewards that, most importantly, significantly impacted my pve gameplay.

Great content as always. I would like to add, that the original way to do Archaeology was as follows: Level to 100 via survey only. After 100, you get 5 skill points per solve, but not all races have items you want, so you would solve Orc, Vrykul, Nerubian, Draenei, and Dwarf or Fossil while you bank massive amounts of Troll, NE, and Tol'vir Fragments. Then once you hit max level archeology, you'd hopefully have 1000-2000 fragments to instantly solve for Jinrok, Tyrande's, or the Tol'vir items. Later in Dragon Soul or so, Blizzard decided they didn't like this and put a cap of 200 fragments of one race at a time making the grind EVEN LONGER because now you would have to hit max level first and then grind out the fragments. Please everyone... PLEASE ask Blizzard to remove the 200 fragment cap on Archeology! Also, would be really nice if Archeology was in the Pre-patch just like Inscription was in the WOTLK pre-patch!

The only thing I did on my free Cata and MoP trials was fly around and do araceology. Great fun, looking forward to it.

archaeology is a pretty cool profession worh lots of lore but it gets old fast.. they could really beef up the rewards

Thanks a lot for this video + the cata one about proffesion. Looking forward the one about proffesion and gold making.

Is there a conclusive awnser regards to how many fragments we will be expecting to receive from digging up a digsite? What I could find was that the latest update they made to the system was in Cataclysm Patch 4.3.0 (2011-11-29): The number of fragments per survey was increased to 5-9. (it used to be 3-6 at higher skilllevels?

Holy shit, my main is an alchemist. this is so nice

Do you need archeology skill to do the dungeon repeatables, or just the runestone?

Miss my old Professor title from this first time round. Barely anyone had it at the time

This profession might be the only reason I play Cata. I loved doing this so much haha

if you are going for the sword for example, dont use any troll fragments until you reach max Archaeology. its way more annoying to farm troll later on, cause you get less of troll fragment sides.

Only thing I like about cata was the leveling experience and guild achievement just felt like a game where I can group with guildies and do shit together

Any tips for finding more troll sites? An addon that labels the dig site per type?

I've always struggled with this skill. But thanks to Add-ons, I've been sinking my teeth into it little by little. It's alright so far. I'm just running around and digging stuff up.

The fossilized raptor, yep I think so❤

Archaeology the new best profession. Fishing bumped down to #2

One thing I've noticed is there doesn't seem to be any 359 rewards for hunters, rogues or feral druids. casters & warriors seem to have a tonne of great archaeology loot. definitely something they should add on imo. no reason not to.

the tolvir may be a nightmare for you, but on a cata era private server i got it first solve, now fossil raptor on the other hand.....

Let’s get that druid cata video brother
