So I've read about ppl lvling with archaeology. So I decided to try it out myself on my 70dk, I get about 120-150k xp/h and was wondering if that's ok or if it's too little? Also I got the tempfix and as well epic flying (not 310%). How much xp/h do you guys get using archaeology and at what lvl?
My hunter is now 84 and is getting with Archelogy around 650K/h unrested (actually on Northrend) - I did it before in Mixed Mode with BG bot and got around 400k/h unrested PS: On which continent are you? Lower lvl digsites doesn't give much experience. I would suggest you move to Northrend after reaching 350 in archelogy.
Mixed Mode, what lvl were you at then? I am currently lvling in kalimdor (165 skill), should I move on to outland asap, or wait in kalimdor til I get 350 and then go straight to northrend?
What level do you switch to Outland, and then Northrend? And at lvl 450 arch level, would you go Kalimdor for Uldum nodes or?
I read somewhere that all digsites award the same amount of XP. Also that this amount of XP is a percentage of your total XP (meaning the amount gained will scale with your actual leveling and not your archaeology skill). Don't hang me up on this - I just read it somewhere, and I might remember wrong as well..
Exp from archaeology depends ONLY on what level you are. And it's really good exp. A good questing profile may be competitive, but none are as reliable as AB. I did this from 70-85 stopping only a few times to get gear upgrades (e.g. hyjal upgrades) Once you hit 70, get a flying mount with 280% speed and do non-stop arch imo. The gold income is decent, you almost never die (except going to dig sites that are too high of a level), you have a chance for some nice BoA epics, and not around ppl enough to get reported/whispered. Only issue the bot getting stuck near ocean fatigue walls. There are some new plugins that help ameliorate that though.
It looks like ~9 days of botting between 8-12hrs a day. I tried a few questing profiles in there too since it's my first leveling bot. I didn't have the AB anti-stuck plugin either. But I definitely was monitoring all my exp/hour for each different profile type and AB or mixed mode AB/IB were the best.
