Delves and Archeology seem like a perfect fit, now would be a great time to revamp it a little and bring it back.

I am sure you have some reason why you want to tie Archeology and Delves together, but you don’t explain why.
Delves are a good addition to the game for people who want to enjoy the game without the toxicity that Blizz almost seems to promote.
Archeology? I never really enjoyed it.
So why force them together?
No doubt I had a blast doing Archeology for levelling a few characters. I can see why it was taken away, it does get kinda bland.
My apologies for being that player but it may be worth penning it as a suggestion instead;
Take the word petition out of the title if you don’t want this deleted.
but I do agree.
I don’t think enough people were interested in archaeology. That’s why it kinda just faded away and only exists now as the occasional quest or something like the Azerothian Archives in DF.
Doesn’t help that Blizzard was just half assing it in later expansions.
how are they a “perfect fit”? one big reason i liked Archeology is because it got me out in the open world, exploring areas i’d otherwise likely never visit again, and bumping into other players. Delves are the exact opposite (which is why i don’t like Delves.)
I think the exploration part would tie in thematically, and could be a fun extra to delves.
Partly, but that was probably due to low player engagement with it as well. It wasn’t really tied to player power and was moreso tied to the type of gameplay that questers/outdoor players like, so I think it was largely ignored by many.
Amen. I wanna feel like Indiana Jones.
And awesome thing too since Indian Josh and the Great Whip is coming out soon. 
I miss Arch so much 
Tying them together would “force” people to do delves just to do Arch. That said, they could bring back Arch and put all of the digsites AROUND the delve entrances to draw the two closer. I loved Archaeology and the closest thing we’ve had to it has been the Secrets of Azeroth event in DF.
t’s a good idea that I would participate in. Remember though this is microblizz. A puny human compared to it’s once behemoth self.
I can see it now. They bring back archeology, but we find nothing but candles.
Maybe we can take the candles, and put em up in some Kobold city altar and get a mount?
It’s bland because Blizzard never looked to improve it unfortunately. Had a good time doing it in Cataclysm when it was new but its just been copy-paste to the next expansion or just completely forgotten that a new player would never know it existed.
It wouls be nice to either update archeology or update the dwarf Explorer racial.
That’s a good point, I did hope to maybe have puzzles that came up after digging up something for maybe more rewards but they could have definitely iterated on it.
