thx stonhinge , im gona have to take a look at that!, if there any good :P, are they boa but like need a specific level to equip them or they lvl with you?
They're lvl 85 to equip, ilvl 463. If you managed to get some of the MoP BoA before 5.2, you could actually upgrade them with JP. So when/if the upgrade vendor returns, you can upgrade these as well.
And yes, Arch is much easier to skill up now. Every dig you do gives you a skill up, and all the artifacts gives you skillup points. Took me less than a week flying around while queued for LFR.
The best thing is that you can totally skip Outland/northrend/Cataclysm archaeology areas. Then once you hit 525, do Pandaria ones. You can crate the Pandaria artifacts and turn them in for crates of fragments for the other races, just not Pandaren/Mogu/Mantid. you'll also occasionally find "pristine" artifacts, which start a quest that nets you several crated artifacts and a few keystones for that race. Just keep in mind that you can't actually use the fragment crates until you hit 600.
Also, you'll occasionally spawn a sha when surveying that you can kill for some more fragments, generally Mogu from my experience.
