Around Azeroth: A skeletal obsession
"They're taunting me!" exclaims submitter Venla. "I made this troll death knight for the sole purpose of having her have the Fossilized Hatchling (which I have) and the Fossilized Raptor mount (which I keep hoping to get.) I leveled her to 80 by mainly just digging around for fragments and doing some PvP to keep my sanity, hoping to get that unwashed barnacle of a raptor mount, but so far I've had no luck. I can just imagine her thinking 'Soon, you mangy pile of bones. Soon!' while eying the living fossils at Whelgar's Excavation Site." If you leveled from 60 to 80 mainly by doing archeology, I don't think you need to worry about keeping your sanity ... I'd say that sucker's already long gone.

It's amazing how easy it is to level just working on professions like mining and herbalism. I really need to start archaeology.

When Cata came out my friend leveled from 80 to 82 solely by archaeology. Given competition for mobs and it being a PvP server, he actually wasn't that far behind people like me who were leveling the traditional way.
I have a druid that I've been leveling since Cata's release solely by mining and herbalism. he's at 30% of 84.

Yep I was so sick of northrend that I leveled my pally alt from 79 to 80 simply by picking cata herbs. It only took like 3 hours. Plus I had enough herbs to almost max out inscription by the time I was done

83 to 85 because I forgot to turn XP off again. Imagine my surprise and disappointment as the last flash of light goes up while I'm standing in the corner of Auchindoun. So much for a memorable first 85 screenshot. XP

archaeology was a major contributor to me dropping WoW
