Here’s an excellent intro to how the new Cataclysm profession Archaeology will look and work. It was put together by Totalbiscuit of thecynicalbrit.com who I think has done a fantastic job in introducing things.

As you’ll see from watching the video it looks like it’ll be quite a time sink to get to the good (read: vanity) stuff! There’s already been mention of vanity pets, heirloom weapons and even mounts.

One of the most interesting things to come out of recent datamining is this:

It’s stirred up many forum threads over exactly what kind of mount it will be, how hard it will be to get, and what it will look like. It doesnt take a huge amount of imagination to read the lore text there and – combined with what else has been datamined – figure it out:

So it seems that after so many years we may start seeing more battle tanks around. It may surprise you to hear that as a Scarab Lord I’m not particularly bitter or against the idea of this occuring. People have been asking for a chance to get this mount for some time and, as they say, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few!

I’ve had years of my mount being ‘special’ and you’ve all seen the masses of whispers it has brought. I’ll still have my title and the feat of strength – onwards to better things eh? :) Really looking forward to learning more about Archaeology so you can bet there will be plenty more posts on this topic!
