..Oh..god..please say that you did premade char..if not...Your awesome
And hell Engineering is going to be gone..on my bag and Archaeology is up!

It just keep getting cooler as you keep updating it, holy shit.

Edit: I really hope Blizzard continues to add things within Archeology. It's so obviously the sort of profession where Blizzard could suddenly, random add 100 items to it that are nothing but grays, and it would gain awesome points just for having them.

Wait we have to give up one of our two primary professions?
I thought this was a secondary profession =[

Yes my rogue is a premade, I lose all hope once I enter Outlands/Northrend for leveling. My hunter is stuck at level 65 .

It is a secondary profession, so don't worry!

Can't wait for this, especially as a Dwarf. Here's hoping I find something to help Magni within all these artifacts.

Perhaps a new archaeology contest? First one to find the Ancient MacGuffin and bring it back wins?

Like the fishing contest

Except a lot more fun than the fishing contest! I like that idea.

Figured i'd post this here since everyones interested in archaelogy. Someone is putting together a guide for it.

Also there's alot of chatter about it on the beta forums, (as a non beta player i like lurking them lots of nice info). Seems right now there's a nasty bug where the dig spot spawns outside the digzone area.

So the number of finds on a site is not per player, but a limited number per site with a respawn timer?

Not sure yet, seems to be per player. I imagine different people will see different active dig sites, or maybe we all share but it doesn't hurt each other in terms of how many thing you find.

Alright, that's good. Thanks for all the nifty info. How many digsite have you found so far?

Been sticking to Azeroth mostly, about to leave it for Outlands. But the I have never found myself without a dig site to go to. It can be in the same zone, but a different spot. I never kept tract so I don't know for sure how many I've been to.

is it going to bring some world pvp? or are there goin to be lots of archaeology zones?

[Kryn]

Thanks for the info and pics! Its great to finally see what this Secondary Skill actually makes you do.

While there are many dig sites, I have encountered allies a lot. I believe we can get sent to the same sites. When it hits live and a lot of people are using it I imagine you will constantly have fights going on there if you wish to fight.

But this game is about epics, not crap.

You were expecting them to hand out epics to a level 1-100 Archeologist?

It probably won't bring world pvp. But on pvp realms it'll add a bit of excitement fighting off those "claim jumpers."

And another question? We've seen the pic for summoning the Archeaology mount but in your journal is there any page marked with the mount? Like at this level you'll get this title or this item for collecting this and that?
