    Question Archaeology for Cata....Mining?

    Am I the only one here that is wondering how archaeology is going to work when cata hits. Obviously you aren't going to find a bunch of random artifacts everywhere and learn a story through them. Seems like mining should be a booster for archaeology b/c when you hit nodes now at 80 you generally get just ore or sometimes get a gem or 2.

    I realize that mining is a main and archaeology is a secondary. What i am wondering is more of shouldn't mining effect the chances of getting something good from a find?

    I guess my whole argument is that shouldn't mining be sort of paired with archaeology?

    no.

    mining = profession

    archaeology = secondary skill.

    think of it as cooking or fishing. nothing more (sure more fun and all.)

    archaeology will be a secondary like fishing. my theory is that while all three gathering professions will help, none will be crucial.

    Herbalism should boost cooking with exotic spices

    Fishing should boost engineering with fish gut bombs

    First Aid should boost Tailoring and let you recycle used bandages as cloth. Blood and all.

    Brings up a good point doesn't it though? How secondary professions should be able to complement or benefit the first.
