I'm planing on renewing my Sub when the expansion comes out. I recently heard about Archaeology  which might cater to my exploration habit. My question is do you think it will be only usable in 80+ level range or do you think it will be something fun to skill up from level 5+. I would love for it to be a skill you pick up as a starting character and explore the new old game world as an archaelogist. 

any rumors on this?

Blizz has already stated that you will likely have to level it up from lvl one, and it will be available from lvl 5 like all other professions. The only thing that sets it apart from other secondary professions is that it will actually permanently affect your stats and will therefore be considered "mandatory".

While i guess that sucks for people who dont want to raise another skill, it sounds like I will dig it as a form of exploration when i start a new toon.

Thanks for the info.

Yea, I haven't even gotten any secondary skills past 225 on my main, I hope this won't be too much of a pain to level.
