Hey lady, you call him Dr. Jones!
These words can sum up not only the questing experience in Uldum, but also the new secondary skill added with the Cataclysm expansion, Archaeology. Now that the release rush has died down, most people have settled down to grinding out their professions. Archaeology has many unique pets and mounts that one can earn using the skill, but it is VERY grindy, boring, and tedious. Many people will resort to buying items off the AH which allow you to complete projects without having all the artifacts. While there is at the moment no easy way to bot your Arch skill, if you have the urge to grind it out there is a good profit making potential in the items used to powerlevel the skill. Currently 1 Troll Tablet goes for 150g on Area 52's AH, horde side obviously. You will dig up many of these tablets, scrolls, etc while leveling the skill. It may not be the fastest way to make money, but it is an added income stream, and the more of those you have going, the faster you'll generate gold to sell.
Sorry this blog is so short, and so infrequently updated, but work takes up much of my time. Will be posting a review of the new version of Gatherbuddy here in a few days after I give it a test, same with Honorbuddy.
