I highly expect as time goes by and more folks level up Archeology, that the number of Keystones available on any given realm will begin to build up, lowering AH prices on them, and making them more likely to show up for buffs in raids. After all, a dedicated Archeologist will eventually find that they don't need their keystones anymore for Projects, and at that point the keystones will only be valuable as a Group Buff or something to sell on the AH.

I've used a few of these to give my group buffs in the Stonecore and Blackrock Caverns, because Dwarven Runestones are easy to come by. There's no way on earth I would spend one of my precious Tol'Vir Hieroglyphics in a dungeon though - they are way too rare, and Tol'Vir digsites in general way too hard to come across for that to be worth it.

Anyone see that as a Blizz Stealth Nerf. Buff healing dont nerf Dungeons.

Ive been in the dungeons and I do not see a starting quest is there a certain quest you need to have completed first or a high enough skill level until you can do the dailies?
