A whole load of information has just been released about the new profession in WoW Cataclysm – Archaeology (or Archeology as many people are saying!). The new profession is a potential game-changer, as it will add the ability to add glyphs to items which will alter a whole range of facts about World of Warcraft cataclysm – for example:

- Archaeology glyphs will change cooldowns and stats on items
– Gliphs could also alter procs or abilities on items and skills
– There will be four to five glyph slots available to players on release

What does Archeology mean for players of WoW Cataclysm?

- It will affect enchanters – regular players of Warcraft will realise that enchanters are one of the most sought-after and expensive players to be friends with…however now you will be able to improve some of your own items and skills. Will we still need to employ enchanters? Maybe not.

What is the lore behind Archaeology in WoW Cataclysm?

As you probably already know – the new Warcraft expansion has been caused by an enormous, cataclism event which will destroy huge swathes of Azeroth. What happens afterward will leave two things – one, that many artifacts and items will be left underground (to be discovered by our players in the future!)…two, that a huge amount of items and treasure that have previously been buried under Azeroth will now be uncovered to players that pick up the new profession – and the best part is that it’s free!

What do I mean by free? I mean that Archeology will be a secondary profession – what does that mean? It means that EVERYONE will be able to take Archaeology as a profession, and in fact, it will be able to give you access to a wide range of new storylines, quests, talents and abilities through the ‘Path of the Titans’ (but more of that later).

At shipping, World of Warcraft Cataclysm will offer the ability to have four or five glyph slots available to each player – which means there will be a rush on for people to level and train the profession as soon as possible.

This is all of the information that we have right now about the Archeology skill in World of Warcraft Cataklysm – if you have any questions about the different professions or skills in Cataclysm then get in touch with us right now and we’ll try to answer them.
