I just completed the last Night Elf rare. Got all the fossil ones. So 80% of my time will be spent trying to get some dig sites in Uldum and that is ALOT of time.

Bleh.

I'm on it only because i got nothing better to do since i am sick and not working. Otherwise, i would not invest any time at all in this.

Yup, you've hit on the fundamentally broken part of archaeology. So far they've given zero feedback on it, and little indication that they plan on fixing.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

I got arch to 50 yesterday and it was painfully miserable. I don't know how some of my guildies have managed to stick with it. The lure of boa epics that don't scale and will be less useful with the first content patch isn't enough.


I'd rather do anything else and if I was so bored with stuff that I was considering arch I'd log off instead.


I guess it should be time consuming (it surely isn't difficult, just momentally boring and time consuming) due to the numerous rewards. IMO there are too many good rewards from it (for current content) regardless of mindless time involved, and it's too mind numbingly boring.


Presently I question the intellect of people who are devoting days to maxing it out.

Haha, funny comic.

Yeah, I tried it on my main, got it to like....5 and bagged it.

I think getting it to 525 would be like Chinese water torture.

I grinded it out to 525, wasn't worth it so far. I don't even understand the reason for half of the BoA epics, as they are useless without scaling.

What the OP talks about is the worst aspect of it. You get all the items from one race and then you are still forced into digs for said race.

At least half of my digs are fossils and they server no purpose after both raptors.

One of the only other pluses is that it is a good source of experience if you can handle the monotony. I had a guildy get from 80 to almost 84 from skilling it up 1-525.
