Archaeology in 4.0.6 - Grey items changes
If you've been going through the 4.0.6 Patch Notes you probably saw the following line.

That change didn't seem important at first but it's actually more significant than you'd think for people who spend a lot of time hunting for artefacts.

Some of the grey/junk items you get from archaeology had their price considerably increased (up to 1000 gold) and if you have them in your bags it's probably a very good idea to wait for the patch before you sell them ... I'm sure you'd hate to lose 1000 gold (or more!) because of that, right?

As far as I know this change hasn't been hotfixed on live servers and you'll have to wait for the patch.

    On live or PTR?

    Fact is: This just adds MORE lottery the Arch. I don't think it'll be a worthwile profession even with these changes. You could easily farm more gold doing wrath dailies. Depending on Luck ofc... :S

    It is a secondary profession. Just like First Aid. You really should not expect too much from a secondary profession.

    Could Peep PLEASE bury this absolutely STUPID argument?
    FA doesn't require me to sink HOURS upon HOURS into it to practice it. Neither does cooking. It would be true for Fishing, although only as long as I'm leveling up. After that, the time investment to get the fish i want is MINIMAL compared to arch.

    It's actually a quite simple calculation. One hour of my playtime has a value. If something wants me to spend many hours it has to be worth it. At least it must be comparable with doing dailies. No matter whether it's a primary profession, grinding stuff to sell on the AH or in this case archaeology.
    Lets be honest, most peeps will never ever see an epic from arch that they can use, so all it gives you for your hours of boredom is gold.

    I either have that ring as my next solve or I did it yesterday (probably sold it then as well). Oh the suspense!

    Because the Devs have their heads up their asses. Honestly? I don't know. Archs flaws are so painfully obvious, that every human being with even half a brain can see them. I guess they want to torture their community?!

    Damnit! I just vendored 2 of the 1k gold artifacts >_<

    DLC: That was hilarious! Love the bird.
    Arch: Sweet. I'm in the middle of making one of those rings right now.

    well with the cap on archaeology fragments coming i think its a nice way to get rid of those fossil fragments.. dunno though why are fossil digs even showing up after 450.. its just the single most annoying thing abt archaeology...

    You get a 100% haste buff and you regen 5% max mana every second. I'm guessing arcane gets the most benefit out of haste and due to the regen you can spam "Arcane Blast" to infinity?

    ARG! And I swear I had gotten word of Empress Zoe before.


    Oh well, it's not like I won't spend the rest of eternity going for ALL of the other items, I'm sure it'll pop up again...

    Right now I'm all flustered about the 100 pieces for a cloth BoA to use at level 60 and I have all my casters above level 80... go go, RP dress? :/

    Ahh, come on, guys. I had bought dual spec for one of my toons a week before the price dropped from 1000 gil to 100 gil. But I did not make any QQ out of it.
    On the good side, I have not started doing much archeology yet. ^_^

    I love the fact that people are upset about missing out on some gold. Imo you are missing the point. Blizzard have to do this fix because they failed on Archaeology.
    It is a pointless tradeskill. Comparing it to anything else, there is no gain unless you get one of the very few artefacts some class can use. Some classes just cant get anything useful at all. And most of the people with "the perfect class" wont ever find a useful artefact.
    Even after spending 100s of hours.

    They need to fix the entire profession, they should add a lot more items / artefacts. They should add uncommons as an option. Some random "old treasure chest" containing stuff that might be useful. AND of course they should increase the prize on vendoring the artefacts.

    Mining or actually just killing random mobs for 1 hour comparing to Archaeology for 10 hours, more cash / benefits from mining/killing.
    As it is now, the only reason for taking Archaeology is to help getting some bonus exp when leveling, if you happen to have a digsite where you are doing your normal questing.
    I have done my fair share of Arc. I got 20+ on some of the commons. I have nothing to show for it, except time wasted and 50ish achievement points.... but I don't mind that really, hell I am online to chat with friends anyway. However if I knew what I know now, I would never ever spend time on the profession.
    Actually, no one that did Archaeology will do it again. And that means it needs some serious fix to get attractive again.

    More lololgold wont make a difference.

    Sorry for the advanced QQ, it is just strange that Blizzard failed so completely with this when most things they do make sense for some at least.

    Peeps are not raging about not getting the gold. Peeps are raging about Blizzard boundless incompetence in this case. Sorry but they claim to have one of the best video-game dev-teams in the world and all those people were unable to thee the problems with Arch before releasing Cata?!?

    That's VERY hard to believe.
