Archeology bugged right now.

[Amagran]

Every single survey up to level 600 is orange and you will get a level up. You dont have to solve anything to max out. It will probably be fixed soon so get maxed out fast if you arent.

You need to be at least 525 to survey pandaria stuff.

NOT AN EXPLOIT SO FAR.

Archaeology has been hotfixed or changed at some point in the past few days to always give one skillup per dig, making it much easier to level. It isn't clear if this is intended or not, as it isn't listed in the hotfix notes.

confirmed as working, but not an exploit (as far as we know)

maybe it's supposed to be this way?

seems really really off that blizzard would just throw away all their plans for archeology.

working as intended

They already did that the moment Cataclysm launched.

Archaeology going nowhere. - Forums - World of Warcraft

This blue post was in regards to the bug with archaeology, where you were only getting 1 skill up per solve(not dig), no matter if it was common or rare, once you hit 500 archaeology. So it was mind-numbingly hard to get from 500-525 until they fixed that bug. I don't know if when they fixed that bug, they introduced this one, but I do not think it is intended.

seems like they were trying to change it in some way, but maybe not intended 100% per time. either way im leveling mine now because of it

This is working as intended.
