Archeology

Jet Zeppelin:  So, it seems that the face of Archeology in Cataclysm is, for now anyway, this Harrison Jones cat giving little lectures and seminars to a bunch of noobs.




*spit*  One thing that master and student have in common in this case is that they're all jokers.  You think this is the creme de la creme of archeology?  You think these guys are the masters of the past?  HA!  Not these twips or those smelly dwarves of the Explorer's League are going to have a clue what hit them when I land in the scene.  I see on this MMO Champion site that the list of possible dig sights for Archeology are in Loch Modan, Wetlands, Hillsbrad, Hinterlands, and a couple others.  A few dwarf zones, some neutral territory, yeah.  They seem to think that dwarf artifacts are where it's at.  It will be sweet to prove them wrong, but I have a notion on how fun it might be to sneak into these dig sites and take some of that dwarven history out from under dwarven noses, get what I need from it first, and then sell it back to the dwarves for high end profit.  True they might not pay because dwarves are known for being stubborn asses if nothing else, but I never said they had to.  There's always a buyer for something, somewhere.

Fair is fair in war and money, as Gallywix once told me.  True, Gallywix is a dirty dog, but he did have moments of wisdom.

Now this I have some troubles with, this list of the research branches for archeology.

  • Dwarf
  • Draenei
  • Fossil
  • Night Elf
  • Nerubian
  • Orc
  • Tol'vir
  • Troll
  • Vrykul
  • Other
Ummmm....What?  No goblin research?  You have dwarf obviously, night elf, troll, and....fossil?  I thought that was paleontology.  Ah well.  I'm sure adventurers in Outland will find orc and draenei research most interesting, and nerubian and vrykul research in Northrend.  Tol'vir will likely be prominent in Uldum.  Should be interesting.  But...honestly, no goblin?  Even with our important history, we're filtered into an "Other" category?

*sigh*  I'm hurt Blizzard.  I'm truly hurt.  Maybe you just forgot us?  Is that it?  Well, I guess I'll have to make an impact to let you know that goblins are not something you forget, not anymore.  That impact just might be explosive.
