It was bad.
As much as I want to appreciate the effort that allocated, I don’t think there’s anything to be gained by sugar-coating what a mess the archivist stuff was.

The most hilarious part about SL was when we asked what happened to Archaeology, they said, “There aren’t any artifacts in the afterlife.”
And then we spent an entire zone collecting artifacts.

What if, Archeology kept the idea of hunting stuff by proximity, but they add extra items like a map which you need to figure out the location in the zones.
Go there, you can interact with a thing and it takes you to a solo mini instance like the Niffen Digs?
Absolutely no mobs, only a puzzle.
Complete the puzzle, complete the artifact.
I was happy with the way it worked. To me, this is some low hanging fruit that should be in game and no real excuse for it not to be.

I’d love Archeology back, but if they don’t then Dwarfs should get Find Treasure back. That’d be so useful in Delves.

IMO, there has to be archeology in TWW, the entire island was moved and shifted during the great sundering by Illidan and the entire coreway moved from where it should be.
This topic is so important!
I don’t understand why Archeology was not a huge part of TTW expansion. It’s so disappointing.
Such a huge missed opportunity.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. I’m honestly surprised archeology hasn’t already gone the way of bandage skill. It was interesting at the time, not interesting enough to bring back xpac after xpac, unless they seriously revamp it as an actual gathering skill to compete with mining/herbalism.
DF whatever they tried was wish app scrying from ESO.
Archaeology was unique, in that it was the only profession that sent you back into the old world.
Imo, they could easily dedicate a patch to bringing Archaeology up to speed with a ton more racial artifacts, new rewards, and bringing them into every “modern” expansion post-Legion.
Also, maybe more involvement than just digging lol, other puzzles could be implemented as part of the profession.
Like those we see in Delves.

NO!!! End of discussion hopefully. They have already inserted bits and pieces of that fail into the game, just like they did underwater zones <glares at the wretched underwater delves).
Or at least give dwarves a real racial trait…
No cap, I did a dig last night on my alt when I was flying around in Tanaris to post up for the anniversary, and I was getting 5K a dig. I’m like, I’m totally going back to do old archy on this alt!

Why? clearly we keep going back in time going forward, we have time travel now.
That’s awesome! I really miss this side game for lore
Can we at least make the crates warbound? Most if not all of the items you get from archeology are account wide, having the crates warbound would not be game breaking.
