I haven’t seen any articles on gathering professions or the remaining secondary professions (cooking and fishing).
I remember when Arch first got introduced I was so excited… and each XPAC I’m sadder and sadder
I really need to do this profession. Its one of those things I always mean to do and never do. I have so much content I havent truly explored each expansion and Im doing it now. I hope this profession is still around when I am ready to try it and that the rewards are all still present.
Im with others though who think this might have been a missed opportunity by Blizzard to reinvent the profession a little given the lore and setting in Shadowlands. It isnt too late though!
They said a while ago that they regretted putting archeology into the game.
So this may be a step to getting rid of it.
Source? Cuz pretty sure they didn’t
It was a long time ago. I don’t remember.
Lmao okay, sure
"Hey, let’s go to this really cool awesome zone steeped in lore and historical figures throughout all of the known worlds and time.
But nah, let’s not dig around for anything" >.>

Meh. It’s okay if you don’t believe me.
Honestly, I find it funny, because they keep talking about Relics of the First Ones, all throughout the expansion.
Also, it would be a great way to dig up some lore on the Maw, since it didn’t always look like that.
here is why theres no archeology in SL, they worknig on something huge with the arch team for xpac after
"
Imagine xpac after shadowlands is Dungeons (caves, catacombs ect) and Dragons (Dragons, dragonflights, Dragon isles) themed and a major revamp of archeology where we do puzzles and underground exploration mazes, research ect like indiana jones to find the artifact in all of the different azeroth zones, either for cosmetics or ect (probably a new systems power weapons or gear). Could be a reason the archeology dev team is taking a break from SL so they can focus on a revamp this huge for the xpac after while everyone else is working on SL patches."

Exactly makes not a lick of sense, we should be going in hard-core on Archaeology
I’m intense about the lore and archaeology and would have read such a thing, so yeah don’t think this happened and you’re probably confusing it with a number of other statements where they regret the system they made (eg X-Forging, V1 Azerite, etc)

That book that was datamined, would be a perfect fit for Archaeology, a tale that was written long long ago and lost.

All the “Maw lore items” for the achievement read like they should’ve been Maw Archaeology artifacts
They probably were at one point, because Blizz decided to kill Archaeology.

Fishing is pretty similar to BfA (but with WoD-like bait lets you target a zone’s specific fish)
Gathering now uses a similar zone-specific resource and then an uncommon resource now. Instead of stars, as you increase your skill, you just passively start increasing yields.
Cooking is pretty linear - bigger material costs, but no star recipes to worry about.

Ultimately, this is why I canceled my accounts.
Bring Archaeology back, Blizzard.
Immediately.
