I spent a bit of time at the weekend doing this archeology thing. I don't really understand how this can be thought of a worthwhile addition to the game, beyond adding a way for people to get RNG vanity items some of which aren't any good (guild mate got an item which transformed you into a wisp for a whole 10 seconds, and it has a 10 min coodown).
Fishing I've never found fun, but at least it's got a point in that it helps you level up cooking.
As a sidenote, one guy in the guild was saying they'd buffed the speed of this profession (you get more relics when you dig them up now).

I've not tested to see if that's true though.
Let's no go there, less we all realize that at its heart, WoW is nothing but a waste of time dominated by RNG.
So because not everything you get is some uber awesome epic lootz or not a BoA item it's not worthwhile?
Well done. That's exactly what I'm saying.
In no way was I saying it was dull, doing exactly the same thing (playing a game of hot and cold), over and over from 1-525. That maybe there could have been a bit more variety with regards to what else you can do to level up this profession.
It's not as if I cited fishing where you're again doing the same thing, but then pointed out that I can see why people do it because it helps with levelling up cooking.
Or cited a slight lack of imagination on some of these items.
I've managed to get decent enough gear to join heroics now.
They really made these hard. I enjoy a challenge, now to convince other people to stop being so face rolling retarded. :?
It's not a difficult, might I add, secondary profession to level. Actually moving around to do it makes it infinitely more entertaining than fishing ever could be in its current state. Blizzard can add a lot to Archaeology in the future with little difficulty, and on top of that it's a ridiculous way to gain XP. While I was around 83 I would gain nearly 30k XP per fragment.

It definitely does feel more laboriously grindy than other professions, but I suppose that's by design. I'll spend more time with it when I've got nothing better to do.
Ugh. My guild is a small group of friends, who don't really have enough people online to pull together a heroic run. So I'm left with pugs. And nearly every time I join, it's a group who have failed on a boss so many times that I don't even get a chance to say hello as they all drop group.

I don't even know why you're talking about BoA.
They mentioned BoA because all of the epics you can get from Arch are BoA. I've got a BoA mail helm and a BoA cloth robe so far.

The good news is the queue on KJ has dropped from 3000 people to 1000. Which means a half hour wait instead of 4 hours. Mainly because most of the people who renewed can't even do the heroics.
Yay I guess?
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
85 Priest
80 Druid (Maxed Mining and Herbalism, he is my farmin' machine)
80 Paladin
80 Mage
Then 60+ everything else, except for my shiny new worgen rogue who is only like 18.
I xfered over to alliance side with about 300g. Just questing alone I made about 4k. I'm waiting until max level to get the 310 speed.
My problem is that I liked healing before the change, and now I'm worried. I'm not especially talented and I feel like I shouldn't even bother because everything's so tough now.
I had no intentions of getting the 310 flying. Just didn't think it was worth the amount of cash for a 30 percent increase.
That is until I saw how much case I was making in Cataclysm. So I bought it at lvl 83 (as I had already made close to the 4k needed since I was exhaulted with Org). And a little more than a week later I'm back to the same amount of cash I had before I bought the flying.
One big perk - between 310 flying and the guild movement speed bonus, if I ever find myself in a mining dual with another player I'm usually going to hit the nodes quicker.

What if they have the guild buff too?
What if they're a Paladin?
You know what i want, and wish they put it out..
5k gold - reduce mount cast .5 seconds
20k - instant cast mount
I want it.. or steps similar to that. Have to buy previous steps to eventually get instant cast mount. Sigh.. the brooms really really spoiled me.. and druids.

My problem is, I hear about something cool and think "oh, I should level that." Like when someone mentioned the rogue smokebomb skill the other day. Then I remembered all the other crap I need to do, skills I wanted to try, specs I wanted to play, professions I want/need to level.

My alchemist already has the mats for it, just need the pattern(other than the vendor ones) Which i assume only he can find right? and through archaelogy?

1) 20k is roughly 25-30 bucks. You're sending people to gold sellers at that point. It is far too cheat for that.
2) You're not a druid. Not gonna happen. :P
3) People have no idea how easy it is to get around now, it's sooooo easy. I don't wanna hear shit! lol.
4) 310% with guild bonus is noticable. 4k is easy to obtain, and worth it.

So I assume. I have most of the mats... except the truegold, which I'm working on by transmuting a bar a day. And digging. Lots and lots of digging.

Can we at least herb in dragon-form to stick it to those smug druids?

Just my .02
1) Ha! id never buy gold, i have more than enough. So i dont care if they make it 50k! Id pay it for instant cast mount
2) I have one, not my main, thats why it makes me miss it sooooo much on my paly
3) Yea it is, thats not it tho. My main, paly is also my Miner. So re-mounting everytime i see something.. i rather if it was my druid, who is a skinner. Its awesome
What sort of damage is decent for a warlock in mostly ilevel 333 gear trying to start heroics?
I can usually pull out 8500-9000 dps, but I don't have any sort of rough idea of what other people are doing.
Thoughts?

I don't even know why you're talking about BoA.
They really made these hard. I enjoy a challenge, now to convince other people to stop being so face rolling retarded. :?
That said, It's more a lazy "I don't feel like tanking pugs" thing for me.
They mentioned BoA because all of the epics you can get from Arch are BoA. I've got a BoA mail helm and a BoA cloth robe so far.

It's not in yet. Apparently they've been having issues getting the mail systems on different servers to talk to each other.
You don't ... cross server is not implemented yet as far as I know.
I forgot to check the tooltip after seeing this. What was the stacking effect doing? I'm assuming it was making mana flow like the Nile or something.
85 Priest
80 Druid (Maxed Mining and Herbalism, he is my farmin' machine)
80 Paladin
80 Mage

Only the strong can help the weak.
Really? I've been getting 2-4. Maybe because I'm only like 75 skill.
Azeroth flying is only about 250 gold. The 310% upgrade is the one that costs 4-5k (depending on your rep with the faction you're buying it from.)
Well if it stacks, and it is like 350% spirit increase for each one....
My problem is that I liked healing before the change, and now I'm worried. I'm not especially talented and I feel like I shouldn't even bother because everything's so tough now.

That it? There are several of us in the Altoholic category around here.
85 druid, 82 shaman, 80 mage, 80 warrior, 80 priest, 80 paladin, 80 Deathknight, 72ish hunter, 64 rogue, 60 warlock.

It's not
Well damn.

Then I got sick and tired of farming ore to level engineering and spent close to 3k gold getting engineering maxed: down to 15k gold.
That was two days ago. Today I was at 16.5k gold.
So I said "fuck it" and bought the 310% skill.
1) Ha! id never buy gold, i have more than enough. So i dont care if they make it 50k! Id pay it for instant cast mount
2) I have one, not my main, thats why it makes me miss it sooooo much on my paly

this is why that word "usually" was included in the post.
