pallid fulcrum
#

Forgot that accursed place even exists

potent iris
#

Im gonna make a new char to level for shadowlands, i played guardian druid in bfa, should i make another one or level a protection warrior?

#

Will be leveling solo mostly other than dungeons

#

mostly played druid and mages and shamans

pallid fulcrum
#

Go with what you want, class balance is great atm. Check out legendaries and whatnot to get an idea - Guardian especially is in a good spot cause of Ursocs Fury

#

Warrior has the issue where BiS covenant for Prot is different to BiS for Arms/Fury, then again going a 2nd best covenant won't be an issue in most levels of play

potent iris
#

is there anyway to use blizzard balance to buy 6 month sub?

winter saddle
#

can someone help me out here? Ember Court Barrier is sold in Elysian hold and im wondering why that is like wowhead literally says that and since im Venthyr i cant go there

#

@azure reef

fathom ingot
#

Elysian hold is for kyrian only @winter saddle

#

I guess that's a kyrian locked transmog

winter saddle
#

well its a venthyr shield this makes no sense

sharp vine
#

Dumb question, but if your playing a race that can heal, and the best loot drops are from dungeons/raids. What do you need gold for?

#

(I’ve been playing 3 days)

pallid fulcrum
#

stuff from the Auction House including gems you can socket into gear, potions for stats or health/mana, other consumables, gear from the AH aswell, fair few things

#

also ingame expenses like repairing your gear

hasty spear
#

Raiding Consumables will eat up your gold in no time ladysnight

pallid fulcrum
#

Even m+ consumables add up- every hour is 500-700 gold on a flask plus 100 gold on food, then you slap in health; mana; invis potions

fluid horizon
#

The trainer is in the village you are in

fluid horizon
pallid fulcrum
#

Dang, dunno what I'm smoking then

stray rapids
#

anyone got that chart of renown catchup?

#

i wannwa do it on my alt

fluid horizon
#

Do you mean this @stray rapids ?

#

It is a lil outdated, but it still works

pallid fulcrum
#

Dunno if that accounts for renown catchup from just the covenant campaign? Campaign gets you mid 30s or so by itself

azure reef
#

But that’s the only new source outside of the korthia weekly and chains campaign

fluid horizon
azure reef
#

Ye it was added very recently, just a lil extra renown for new players/alts to catchup

#

tho i think you can only get 1 renown per wing/weekly

cinder dragon
#

Someone mind explaining to me how I can get to the “New” Dalaran? I want to go there so I can pick up a piece of paper for a mount but I have been having a difficult time with finding info on how I can get there. I have a Horde character.

short frost
#

use the azshara portal

cinder dragon
#

Thank you

short frost
#

and fly there

cinder dragon
#

Appreciate the help

azure reef
#

Once you’ve done the legion intro you’re given a hearthstone that sends you to legion dalaran

#

Useful to get to dalaran or you’re major city since there’s a portal for each factions hub there

cinder dragon
#

Sweet, thanks for all the help

pallid fulcrum
#

man i didnt know that, sounds convenient if your hs is stuck in shadowlands

azure reef
#

Yep that’s what I use my dalaran hs for CB_smart

#

Basically a hearthstone for the orgrimmar portal room

stray rapids
#

and lfr

azure reef
#

I haven’t tried lfr tho I’m pretty sure the renown still drops, and ye I was getting renown from heroics on my alt yesterday

pallid fulcrum
#

just you cant do the plaguefall thing anymore is all

azure reef
#

Ye but half the time you end up with a geared player farming renown or helping a friend so you still clear them very fast

pallid fulcrum
#

fair

#

tbf heroics are only relevant for renown lol

azure reef
#

Literally

#

I ran a few for renown and a tiny bit of gear, but I’m 190 on my brew so I just went straight into mythics

pallid fulcrum
#

yeah, the way gearing is you can kinda just skip normal/heroic and go straight to mythic

#

i kidna dig it

azure reef
#

Ye I don’t mind it, easy gear and for newer players it gets them into proper endgame quicker

pallid fulcrum
#

the like 15 hours mandatory questing at lvl 60 is annoying for alts tho imo

azure reef
#

I think I got both my new characters to 60 in like 2 days

#

But idk how long it took me for each

#

Maybe an hour per level

pallid fulcrum
#

the levelling questing is equal to lonly double the time you spend stuck in covenant/korthia campaigns lol

azure reef
#

Oh ye the questing to unlock mounts in the maw and doing the Valkyrie stuff is annoying

#

Should be able to skip that and get to the proper chains campaign on alts

pallid fulcrum
#

like 15-20 hours to 50, 10 tops till 60. then like 15 hours of covenant/korthia campaigns :(

azure reef
#

Wouldn’t say 15 for cov and korthia stuff

pallid fulcrum
#

takes me about ten for covenant

azure reef
#

Depends if you have flying and how geared you are

pallid fulcrum
#

then korthia and fucking around with a few dailies and torghast is like 5 ish

azure reef
#

I did 4 chapters of my cov campaign very quickly, maybe 20-30 min per chapter

pallid fulcrum
#

man dats fast

azure reef
#

But that was on my paladin who had flying and 220 gear so killing everything was easy

pallid fulcrum
#

yeah fair

#

ive been doing it like 170 ish, then just sort out gear after cos it gives you 197s

azure reef
#

Just mass pulled and got a quest done in a single pull lol

#

I’ve gotta do the cov campaign for both hunter and brew but ima get them gear first

pallid fulcrum
#

prot pally questing is genuinely the most fun ive had in the game

#

how do ya get gear before covenant campaign anyways?

azure reef
#

Legit, tho I mainly play Ret now, originally was a prot paladin main at the start 9.0

pallid fulcrum
#

for me ive just gotten to 60, few cheap BoEs, then just after covenant questline upgrade everything to 197s

#

next char i should rly gear up before the cov quests

azure reef
#

I just buy 200ilv gear soon as I reach 60

pallid fulcrum
#

fair fair

#

how much does a set cost?

azure reef
#

500-2k per piece

pallid fulcrum
#

dangg

#

aint shit lol, thought itd be more

azure reef
#

Tho if you want a 230 item it’s like 5k for that

#

But you’ll use it for a long time if it ain’t ur lego so it’s worth

pallid fulcrum
#

ive just kinda done some 160-180 or whatever BoEs and a 230, then wait till covenant questline done for 197s

azure reef
#

Fairs

pallid fulcrum
#

imma do it ur way, gear before cov questline sounds nice

#

im tryna play wow less else my hunter and druid would be geared 60s too 😔

azure reef
#

Rip, once I’ve done some stuff on my hunter and brew that’ll be 5 pretty well geared characters with max renown khadgarface

pallid fulcrum
#

man

#

i can kinda respect that, but thats madness

azure reef
#

I don’t have anything else to do besides work a few hours at the weekend so

#

Might aswell sweat the game and have some fun with alts

pallid fulcrum
#

yeah makes sense

#

ive only rly got a bit of school atm, but according to my brother treating this game like a fulltime job when my final exams are in like 2 months is a bad idea

#

unrealistic

azure reef
#

Ye put the studying before the game

pallid fulcrum
#

:(

azure reef
#

Not like the patch is going away anytime soon

pallid fulcrum
#

yeah fair

#

9 months of 9.0 right?

#

kinda curious about what 9.1 will end up being

azure reef
#

7-8 I think?

pallid fulcrum
#

wild

azure reef
#

It wasn’t that long tbh, only 1-2 month longer than usual

potent iris
#

is there anyway to use blizzard balance to buy 6 month sub?

light sapphire
#

Anyone have problem with legion content loading screen? I used ssd for wow,but the problem is when i play legion expan loading screen so long

azure reef
#

For me it only does it when using the portals in suramar

#

Never had long loading screens anywhere else in legion

hasty spear
#

once i switched to an ssd i never saw any loading screen for more than 10-15 seconds which is already quite long tbh

azure reef
#

Every loading screen is only a few seconds but for whatever reason taking the portals in suramar gives me like 30s-1min loading screens

light sapphire
#

This only happen on legion, when i die or go use hearstone took long loading screen

azure reef

white ether
#

Do races matter for classes

#

Because I made a blood elf priest

#

And idk if that’s good

azure reef
#

for retail wow not really

#

racials are just for aesthetics and minor buffs/abilities

white ether
#

And for tbc

azure reef
#

they matter more for tbc

#

quite a lot more

white ether
#

Yeah because I play tbc

azure reef
#

belfs get a dispell and mana regen with is pretty good

white ether
#

It’s good for paladins right

azure reef

think its the best race horde side, or very close

#

ye

#

well its the only race on horde that can play paladin

white ether

Tauren as well right

#

What is the actual name of the currency you are trying to refer to?

woven geyser
#

i haven’t played wow in about 6 months and currently looking to pick up tanking to get back into the game. does anyone here who mains tank suggest a good tank that is relatively tanky and can provide higher dps with big pulling potential?

fluid horizon
woven geyser
#

i heard that guardian druid was meta for oncesigh

fluid horizon
#

I dont really follow the meta, but if you dont plan on doing really high keys, or mythic raids it doesnt really matter

#

Tanks are fairly balanced rn

#

But yeah guardian is good

woven geyser
#

i just want a fun tank with some high pull potential and higher dps then most tanks

fluid horizon
#

Fun is subjective, but i like gdurid and prot pala, both of these can pull big, not sure about the dmg

woven geyser
#

is prot pally doing alright dps?

fluid horizon
#

Surely, if it wouldnt i wouldnt see it in m+

woven geyser
#

cheers boys

potent iris
#

@polar wasp not the 6 month, requires you to use a credit card for that one

stray rapids
#

i got ksm on my main

#

can i upgrade to the max ilvl in alts?

#

or is it not account wide

#

ik the rating isnt but are the upgrades?

keen pewter
#

So what do you need help with?

toxic pike
#

yo I found lukhok in nagrand

#

could someone help me kill it

#

I would like the mount

pallid fulcrum
#

Is this game worth it ?

toxic pike
#

yes

tight elbow
#

Wtf is your name @pallid fulcrum

pallid fulcrum
#

did they cap the amount of razorwing eggs that drop per day to 1? I've been farming for 1 hour and not a single egg

pallid fulcrum
#

the first egg of the day is always within the first 10 mobs

wooden kettle
#

if i started playing my character just recently on Retail/normal WOW, what version of wow am I playing on? there are so many expansions, versions and names, very confusing

keen pewter
#

You're playing Retail

wooden kettle
#

im looking for some profession leveling guides but there are so many different ones for every version or expansion

#

so retail = "vanilla" in this case i am guessing

keen pewter
#

...No

#

Vanilla is Vanilla, or Classic

#

Retail is always current

wooden kettle
#

so out of guides named Vanilla, Outland, Northrend, Cataclysm, Pandaria, Draenor, Legion and BfA (Battle for Azeroth?), which one should I pick for my new retail character?

keen pewter
#

Neither

pallid fulcrum
#

You'd pick Shadowlands.

wooden kettle
#

because that is the latest iteration? I am new to the game so im not sure how it works, if you start with "vanilla" and the progress through all the expansions, or are they all just mashed up into one big world now

keen pewter
#

They're split per expansion so you don't need to waste your time doing old content nobody cares about

wooden kettle
#

i saw that i know something called Cataclysm Leatherworking and cooking, are those branches of the Leatherworking "Tree" then? like each profession tree has one branch for each expansion

pallid fulcrum
#

Yes. World of warcraft gets major content in Expansion Packs. Each named different from another.
Vanilla was WoW from 2004 to 2007.
TBC (The Burning Crusade) was WoW from 2007 to 2009.
Wrath of the Lich King was WoW from 2009 to 2010.
Cataclysm was WoW from 2010 to 2012.
Mists of Pandaria was WoW from 2012 to 2014.
Warlords of Draenor was WoW from 2014 to 2016.
Legion was WoW from 2016 to 2018.
Battle for Azeroth was WoW from 2018 to 2020.
And Shadowlands is now 'till most likely 2022.

#

The branches you're talking about are remnants of "Old World" professions. You can do it for the crafts or items you unlock with it but generally speaking you'd just need Shadowlands as of now.

wooden kettle
#

allright so they each contain some different armors, or foods etc. in them

pallid fulcrum
#

Right.

keen pewter
#

Ye

wooden kettle
#

thanks! it's a bit clearer now

#

coming in to this game after 17 years is a bit much

#

played TBC a lot and feel like i learned the basics but the retail version seems very different

#

i have one character on each and still trying to decide which version to invest my time in

#

but then again, why stick to only one version

fathom ingot
#

Because one version is basically outdated by the newer ones @wooden kettle

#

the latest content and the best gear and whatnot are only found in the current expansion

#

if you'd rather relive older expansions, play WoW Classic

#

which I believe is currently on TBC?

pallid fulcrum
#

The stuff you get from the "Old World Professions" don't benefit your character.

tight elbow
pallid fulcrum
#

I guess I'm just lucky on my first eggs then. :D

wooden kettle
#

yeah i guess so, the TBC seems a bit more "hardcore" whereas in the retail version, things are thrown at you at every corner but then again it contains a lot more stuff so it makes sense

#

by "things" i mean gold and loot

keen pewter
#

TBC is easier but also more cumbersome

wooden kettle
#

i think for the mean time i will just hang out in Durotar and do some quests there and work on my professions a bit and get the hang of the game before venturing further. 75% of the fun is to discover things for yourself after all (at least for me)

#

but it's always nice to have a guide when the XP or leveling slows down

pallid fulcrum
#

Go for it, learning by doing it is. YEP

wooden kettle
#

thanks for the help everyone

pallid fulcrum
#

No problem, if you get stuck or need more help just come back here and ask.

#

I asked around and it seems like you should easily get both eggs per day within 30 minutes easily. I'll just come back tomorrow and get the razorwing mount then.

@polar wasp then I don't get the mount and the imp

polar wasp
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

you can buy the mount separatelly from the store @potent iris

hasty spear
#

to be more specific: appearently assa is currently the strongest dps spec in the game directly followed by sub

potent iris
#

@polar wasp that's more money lol

#

Just annoying that I can't use my blizzard balance that I loaded onto my account for the game time

hasty spear
#

just not a sub

#

since that would require a constant stream of money which is not guaranteed via balance. sure it could just run for as long as you have balance but i see why they would decide against that

potent iris
#

@hasty spear just annoying that I loaded $300 on my account and can't use it for gametime, and I always own everything else on bnet

short frost
tight elbow
#

^^^^^

hasty spear
#

well you shouldnt have loaded 300$ on there kegStae bad decision dude. cant help. all you can do is to try blizz support, refund that shit and then pay sub like a normal person does

potent iris
#

@short frost I thought I could do 6 months with balance

short frost
#

but you cant

potent iris
#

And because I got part of it back thru my credit card

#

Yeah I didn't know lol

short frost
#

lol

potent iris
#

Used to always just have the recurring monthly

#

And already own every other blizzard and Activision game and almost every pet and mount lol

short frost
#

I guess you can still get the 3 months packs for a bit more before sitting on wasted 300$ balance

#

unless you plan to get one of their third party titles in the future

potent iris
#

I will just do the 6 month thing and get the $25 mount included lol

short frost
#

lol

potent iris
#

That's the problem lol, I already got everything including d2r pre-ordered

short frost
#

see I keep getting free months from RAF - I'm sitting on gametime banked until August 22

potent iris
#

And Activision games too

#

Yeah I did that with my 2nd account and got all the rewards

#

And stopped paying for 2nd sub after that

Hello 👋🏻 I’m trying to wrap my head around wow again. Haven’t played for a really really long time. I don’t even know what version I need?

potent iris
#

Yeah idk how to find new players lol

fluid horizon
#

When you install wow it is gonna download the newest version onto your computer

#

Or if you have then just update

short frost
crisp jungle
short frost
#

yes

fluid horizon

It is differen

potent iris
#

And honestly don't have the time to look for them, I'm at work for 12+ hours a day 5 days a week so I would rather just pay the $13 a month

fluid horizon
#

t

short frost
#

classic and retail are 2 different games

crisp jungle
#

Retail? 👀

short frost
short frost
#

classic = old game version

#

15 years old

crisp jungle
#

That’s about my vintage

short frost
#

yep

#

vintage wow

#

if you wanna try it - it comes with game time

crisp jungle
#

Oh ok..

short frost
#

but I recommend to try retail wow and play that

#

you can play it for free until level 20 and see if you enjoy it

#

with game time you get access to level 50 and all but the latest expansions

#

Shadowlands unlocks level 60 and is 40$ iirc

crisp jungle
#

I have characters from back in the day, I think there were maybe level 60? I can’t remember honestly

azure reef
#

If they were level 60 then they will only be like level 20 now due to the level squish

crisp jungle
#

Oh damn 😂😂😂

azure reef
#

Cause 120 levels got a bit out of hand lel

#

Having to wait 15 levels for a new ability or talent suckkkked

#

Levelling is so much nicer and streamlined now

crisp jungle
#

Yeah, ok so I need to get it downloaded so I can log in and see what I’ve got maybe

Who knows you might have some rare or expensive stuff on there

Hi Guys, I want to get started at WoW, any guides?

cyan glen
#

so is there a recommended item level for korthia or no. theres just certain mobs that destroy me :/

azure reef
#

probably 200+

#

my paladin was 205 when they went to korthia and were fine tho they killed stuff kinda slowly

hasty spear
#

I would say around 190 since korthia gear is usually 200+ which kinda acts as catch up gear. You can find tokens for those items in chests around korthia or you can buy them for some stygia i think

umbral plaza
#

what is a garnision and how do i get one

hasty spear
#

Why do you ask? Its past expansion content. Usually useless currently except for some specific things

umbral plaza
#

i want to get a fishing mount to help a friend

#

he told me i need a garnision

fathom ingot
#

Garrison is from WoD isnt it?

hasty spear
#

You get the garrison by playing the intro questline for Warlords of Draenor

fathom ingot
#

^

umbral plaza
#

thx is it long or can i rush it fast

fathom ingot
#

I mean if you're level 60 already

#

you're gonna one shot everything

umbral plaza
#

im 60 yes

#

204 item level only

fathom ingot
#

like literal one shots

#

because you outlevel everything in WoD by a significant amount

umbral plaza
#

now i just need to find out where i can accept the quest

mental pendant
#

what missive should i use on fire mage?

umbral plaza
#

why cant i talk with chromie

#

others see different questlines

#

but mine doesnt

fathom ingot
#

Are you on an alt @umbral plaza

umbral plaza
#

my main

fathom ingot
#

You cant do it on a main

umbral plaza
#

oh fk

fathom ingot
#

I mean you can travel there yourself

#

to WoD that is

#

you don't need chromie to start

umbral plaza
#

but to start the warlord of draenor quest

#

i need her or no

fathom ingot
#

No

#

You do not need chromie for any quest that is still available for your class and whatnot @umbral plaza

#

Chromie only serves to help the leveling process but it does not lock you out of quests if you dont talk to her

You can actually. If you go to your factions board and get the iron horde quest, you can head to the Dark Portal, abandon the quest and then run thru the portal. You'll skip the intro and jump right to founding your garrison

pallid fulcrum
#

Also rq, would any of yall have opinions about which race is best for lower levelled twinking?

#

probably just a lvl10 arc mage

pallid fulcrum
#

What’s a good meta class ?

azure reef
#

Dh, Druid, warrior, shaman, mage and a few more

#

Paladin

maiden eagle
#

Depends on your gameplay: pvp, bg or arena, pve, raid, m+, dungeon

azure reef
#

Nearly every class has a spec that’s a part of the meta

#

And ye it depends on content

#

And what role you want to play

pallid fulcrum
#

Balancing is actually great atm

azure reef
#

Besides like affliction warlock every spec is pretty good rn

pallid fulcrum
#

I mean, BFA affliction could still do 18s which is above what most the playerbase would do

#

I think shadowlands affliction is around the same spot

azure reef
#

And choosing the meta is dumb anyway if you aren’t a top tier raider or pvp player because they will get nerfed or changed

pallid fulcrum
#

Pretty sure meta rdps is boomkin specifically?

azure reef
#

Top sustain single target yes

pallid fulcrum
#

But yeah meta is meaningless outside of trying to get world first or smn

#

Going a spec you enjoy and do well at is heaps better than going some class that's meta for competitive mythic raiding or whatever

#

Here's aeguably the worst spec in the game

#

+20 is above what nearly all the playerbase will do

#

I’m new

#

So idk what any of that means

#

Like, "meta" isn't really a thing

#

Go what class and spec looks fun

maiden eagle
#

^

pallid fulcrum
#

Balance is great currently so you truly can't go wrong with any choice of class, race, spec

#

I just like to pvp

#

Oh ok

azure reef
#

Balance isn’t great in pvp tho

#

Outside of its burst it’s trash tier

maiden eagle
#

If you do some research on your class and figure out the build and rotation you’ll still clap players that don’t sweat over their class 😂😂

pallid fulcrum
#

In pvp it matters more, but it's some really high end content where going a good vs bad race or spec is what decides a win or lose

#

Just go with what interests you, your best bet is going just what looks fun that you think you can play well

#

watch some gameplay of what specs interest you in dungeons (mythic plus), raids, pvp (arena 2v2 or 3v3 and rated battlegrounds)

#

I like warlocks

azure reef
#

Demonology and destruction are both strong specs rn for warlocks

#

Demonology does insane single target in raids and destro is a a solid spec in pvp

pallid fulcrum
#

I don’t see that I just see warlock

azure reef
#

Each class has 2-4 versions of the class which are specialisations

#

For example a tank spec or a healer spec

#

But warlocks have 3 damage specs

#

2 of them are pretty good tho affliction is arguably the worst spec in the game rn

pallid fulcrum
#

Though even as the worst spec in the game, it's still fine for pve content well above what the average player can do

#

I remember I played wow back when I was in 5th grade around in 2011

#

Warlock is nice, three damage specs but all have personality - got one based around demon minions, one based around damage over time effects, one more about direct damage with a shit ton of green fire

#

And I had to pay to get pass lvl 20

#

Yah still like that now

#

0-20 is free then you gotta sub to level higher

#

Oh I just paid for it

#

50-60 you need to buy shadowlands aswell

#

But yeah man id honestly just go with what class seems to the most fun

#

Can check out icyveins or wowhead or something to get the general jist of each spec a class offers

sacred harness
#

it says i need lvl 60 armor to do raids but my max level is 50 how would i get lvl 60 armor without buying shadowlands?

pallid fulcrum
#

How do I check if I have shadowlands ?

#

Nvm I see

short frost
#

you gonna play it?

pallid fulcrum
#

Ye ima buy it tomorrow I guess I bought the month subscription for the regular game

short frost
#

the queue will never pop

pallid fulcrum
#

You don't

#

Raids are a 60 thing pretty much

#

Can't do endgame shadowlands content without buying shadowlands

#

If I’m new do I need shadowlands

short frost
#

I think he can probably see BfA's LFR at 50

pallid fulcrum
#

Or is that end game type content

#

It's just levels 50-60 unlocked

#

Oh ok so I’m now where near that I’m still on picking my race

#

Buy it when you hit 50 of you like the game

#

Ok I will

#

What class and race did you pick @pallid fulcrum ?

#

Last expansion i did a night elf demon Hunter

#

Currently I main a troll priest, blood elf paladin alt

#

I know my class I’m tryna find a race lol

#

Pretty much doesn't matter

#

For pve it's like a 1% increase in dps which is irrelevant

#

Shaman looks cool also

#

Shaman is honestly the most aesthetic class in the game

#

With race just go with what is the most aesthetic to you. If you want to minmax, then go the race that is best for pvp as that's where it's somewhat relevant

#

Ye I was looking at the perks for the races

#

Orcs look good for pvp but they look ugly and fat

tight elbow
#

Be Panda

pallid fulcrum
#

Can’t be a warlock with him

#

You pretty much have a passive ability for 1-2 percent dps increase, then an active ability which is the impactful part

tight elbow
#

Yeah Sadge

pallid fulcrum
#

For PvP undead is usually good to break Crowd Control, troll does similar but as a passive not active ability

#

Ye I was looking at undead

#

The draining thing

#

"Touch of the grave" is, again, a 1% or so dps increase

#

At most

#

So yeah the race doesn't really matter so go for what just looks best to you. It only kinda sorta matters in pvp, so if you want to minmax I would do it based off of pvp

#

The balancing is fantastic - race is more or less irrelevant, all classes/specializations are good

mental pendant
#

what missives on legendarys should i use on fire mage?

azure reef
#

Depends on your legendary

#

Stat priority differs depending on what legendary and cov you use

#

This page talks about the stats you want depending on your legendary etc

mental pendant
#

yeah i saw that but it doesnt say what missive you should use

azure reef
#

You use the missives for the stats you prioritise

pallid fulcrum
#

thats all missives are - stats

azure reef
#

[missive of haste]

forest lilyBOT
azure reef
#

For example

pallid fulcrum
#

price wise theres relatively large differences between them, but nothing major enough you dont just stick to your stat priority

azure reef
#

If you want as much haste/crit as possible for example get the massives of haste and critical strike

#

Hence why I linked the guide for your stat priority

pallid fulcrum
#

also for a fair few classes theres often a difference for m+ and raids, so you can kinda go a halfway if you do both

#

also btw theres a class discord for mage

crystal sparrow
#

I just made a warrior and it won't lemme use abilities? any idea how to fix this bug (modern wow not classic)

pallid fulcrum
#

how do you mean?

#

not many abilities early on, you unlock them as you level up

azure reef
#

And you need to purchase ability’s/ability ranks from class trainers

pallid fulcrum
#

nah they said modern not classic

#

unless they mean the relatively modern classsic? idek anymore

azure reef
#

Oh I misread lel

crystal sparrow
#

nvm. relogging fixed it ig

#

mb

#

It wouldn't let me slam the worgs

pallid fulcrum
#

sounds odd

crystal sparrow
#

it also wouldnt let me craft looms

#

so idk kinda wack

#

did they change looms?

#

(i havent been subbed since legion)

azure reef
#

Yep

#

They now focus more on making rested xp last longer than a flat xp bonus

#

Since levelling is a lot faster now

pallid fulcrum
#

kinda just bridged the gap between having them and not having them

crystal sparrow
#

I see

pallid fulcrum
#

also rested xp is kinda worth it now sometimes, if you have full looms

#

but yeah should be able to craft them as normal - right click in your collection journal?

crystal sparrow
#

im just trying wow again to see if i want to sub ornot. because the whole no updates fiasco im a bit cautious

azure reef
#

And if ur a panda Pandauwu

#

Since even more rested xp

pallid fulcrum
#

this server really likes pandas lol

azure reef
#

Best race ofc

pallid fulcrum
#

ehh 9.0 was only like a month or two more than usual wanst it

azure reef
#

Ye

pallid fulcrum
#

i played a panda but disliked the mogs - no shoes, weird helms/shoulders

#

but the jump is cute as

crystal sparrow
#

i mean wow is literally not being worked on now so

azure reef
#

I like no shoes and I never wear helmets anyway so

pallid fulcrum
#

fair

azure reef
#

Plus they cute asf

pallid fulcrum
#

i either go fully body cover, or minimal yet classy

#

i just made my panda look like a farmer and called it a day

azure reef
#

Not a bad mog idea tbf

pallid fulcrum
#

but like yeah nah wow is in a good spot atm dont worry. balance is lovely, content is pretty alright and definitely could be worse

#

obvious flaws with it, but the worst parts of Shadowlands are better than the best parts of BFA lol

azure reef
#

If anything the main issue is the power systems with conduits etc

#

Everything else is solid

pallid fulcrum
#

i kinda hate how they implemented covenants

#

effectively just another talent row, yet its such a fuckin hassle to swap around

azure reef
#

Ye

pallid fulcrum
#

like covenant abilities themselves i like, but they just feel needlessly limiting

azure reef
#

And you can suffer a lot if you don’t choose ur good covs

pallid fulcrum
#

then the weird balancing of covenants

#

most dps and nearly all rdps have NF as bis

azure reef
#

Or kyrian

pallid fulcrum
#

ya

#

kinda fucky how most tanks have dps and tank covenants different

crystal sparrow
#

so far im not impressed rooCry

pallid fulcrum
#

idk theres some glaring issues with shadowlands, but the same can be said for any expansion

#

i would 100% take torghast and some dailies over the daily grind of BFA havin to do all ya quests, visions, reputation, that shit

#

like idk, shadowlands aint perfect but its pretty fuckin good honestly

#

the specs that are usually kinda shit like Feral and Affliction are still timing +20's

azure reef
#

Feral is actually doing pretty good ST atleast

pallid fulcrum
#

i kinda like it when feral aint shit

azure reef
#

Just why go feral when balance is better in every way

pallid fulcrum
#

such a weird spec tho - i have the strong opinion of "why play feral when you could just make a rogue"

azure reef
#

Cause feral is cooler than rogue

pallid fulcrum
#

same with "why play Survival Hunter when you could play any normal melee"

short frost
#

some people might enjoy it more

pallid fulcrum
#

id take some dude stabbing shit over walking around as a kitty any day

pallid fulcrum
#

tbf i dont have much experience with Feral

#

BFA i played mainly on Moonguard

#

so i couldnt go Feral or Guardian

azure reef
#

Looool

pallid fulcrum
#

lmao

azure reef
#

Erp in goldshire

#

Ftw

pallid fulcrum
#

i did a lot of that

#

but 100% never as an animal

azure reef
#

Based

pallid fulcrum
#

like its one thing to fetishise midgets, but furries is going too far man

#

i have a very clear place i draw the line

azure reef
#

Lel

#

Fairs

#

I just think furries are cool or cute asf

pallid fulcrum
#

went to horde and moving away from RP servers so i probably will try Vulpera and feral/guardian lmao

azure reef
#

Or both!

pallid fulcrum
#

i dont really have a problem with furries

azure reef
pallid fulcrum
#

its the people jacking off to animated cats sitting in the goldshire inn basement

azure reef
#

Loool

pallid fulcrum
#

man i really derailed this conversation

azure reef
#

At least it ain’t real cats sad

pallid fulcrum
#

that we know of

azure reef
pallid fulcrum
#

lmao

#

but like yeah nah

#

shadowlands is quite nice

#

the lore behind it is "how about we make Sylvanas commit some war crimes so she has an interesting character arc"

exotic iron
#

i can't find narcissus within the curseforge app

tight elbow
#

@exotic iron

exotic iron
#

right, but it doesn't show on the web app

pallid fulcrum
#

theres a web app?

#

thought everyone just installed from curseforge, or something that goes thru it like twitch

exotic iron
#

desktop-app* you can download and it will dump into your game folder

azure reef
#

I use Ajour now over curseforge

exotic iron
#

but mine isn't showing narcissus

pallid fulcrum
#

ah neat, i never knew that was a thing. im a stubborn idiot who installs everything manually lol

#

idk, can you update it or the mods it shows osmehow?

azure reef
#

In curseforge it will show you if an update is needed and all you gotta do is click “update” and done

#

Does the same in Ajour but you gotta download the addons manually, but it’s allows more addons not available on curseforge and can manage addons like Elvui

tight elbow
#

Use Ajour or WoWup

pallid fulcrum
#

Manually just so easy too >:(

exotic iron
#

but that means I gotta redo all my addons lol

pallid fulcrum
#

Wouldn't they have a way to detect what's already installed

#

Fucked if they don't

azure reef
#

No you don’t have to redo any addons

#

Getting rid of curseforge does nothing to your addons

tight elbow
exotic iron
#

does ajour have it's own addon catalog like curseforge? where I can browse for new addons?

pallid fulcrum
#

Id assume they all go thru curseforge right

tight elbow
#

Ajour and WoWup both scrape Curse, Wowinterface, WowUpHub and TukUI

#

Meaning, any WoW addon

exotic iron
#

nice

pallid fulcrum
#

Nearly all, you find wow add-ons in the darndest of places

exotic iron
#

Ajour looks pretty dope

tight elbow
#

I prefer this

pallid fulcrum
#

Quite a few options out there and only two seem bad

potent iris
#

made a new char on mal ganis but it keeps disconnecting me a few seconds after i load in

#

that happen to anyone else?

#

never happened to me before but its my first char on malganis

short frost
#

odd

#

restart router maybe

cyan glen
#

once ur lvl 60 and decide to focus pvp. should you just grind pvp gear or wait

azure reef
#

I’d recommend gearing a bit in pve and earn renown before hard focusing on pvp

cyan glen
#

what ilvl do you recommend

azure reef
#

Hmm maybe around 210 atleast, which is pretty easy to get to with new gear

#

It’s just because of the removal of pvp scaling you’d most likely run into somewhat geared players which wouldn’t end well if ur new

cyan glen
#

yea for sure

azure reef
#

Tho you can always try it and see how it goes

cyan glen
#

lol

#

honestly i think being more prepared would prolly be best

#

ty for the help again arch

pallid fulcrum
#

Getting into PvP is a bit of a brick wall cause of pvp gear

#

Kinda just gotta go for weekly caps and a fair bit of waiting

#

That said PvP gear being brought back is amazing

azure reef
#

Definitely

cyan glen
#

that was brought in with 9.1 right?>

pallid fulcrum
#

Nah, 9.0

cyan glen
#

oh

pallid fulcrum
#

PvP gear has existed for the entirety of WoW except last expansion

cyan glen
#

so someone said i could do 2s and rbgs for pvp gear and then hit korthia

pallid fulcrum
#

Early PvP is just hitting conq cap then waiting a week, repeat a few times

cyan glen
#

but wouldnt that be bad bc pvp gear is good for pvp but not pve?

pallid fulcrum
#

Ain't necessarily bad for PvP, just low ilvl so probably not best

cyan glen
#

ik but im saying the PvP gear isnt really good for PvE anymore

#

so if i grind for pvp gear and then do korthia which is pve wouldnt that be a struggle?

azure reef
#

You wouldn’t struggle except for more high end content like the hc raid+

#

The gear is fine for pve

pallid fulcrum
#

You can so Korthia in like 170 or so

#

Probably lower depending on spec

#

Low ilvl is only really a problem for pve in like m+ above +10

#

Even then, pvp gear isn't thattt bad for ilvl

cyan glen
#

ok so me doing pvp for my pvp gear and increasing my ilvl till about 170 isnt a bad idea?

#

ik id get rolled bc of my gear but yea

azure reef
#

You can easily reach 200 not long after hitting 60

#

Tho it’s a lot easier if you are willing to spend a lil gold at the ah

cyan glen
#

basically where im at rn is im lvl 60 with like 150 ilvl. i havent done my cov campaign, korthia, or my torghast.

#

im just trying to be efficient ig

#

not waste time on stuff i dont need to do

azure reef
#

You should prioritise the cov campaign and torghast since the earlier you get high renown and your legendary the better

pallid fulcrum
#

Cov campaign then Korthia campaign + a few dailies is ilvl 200 easy

cyan glen
#

by the time i finish my cov campaign i should be in about ilvl 200 right

azure reef
#

Depends what you do in between questing but you’ll be close

pallid fulcrum
#

Cov campaign is 197 ilvl, Korthia is 200-220

#

Neither gives full sets or anything, but those together with a BoE or two gets you about 200ilvl

cyan glen
#

ok so i should just do cov campaign and korthia then get my legendary and then i should be good to start pvp?

pallid fulcrum
#

Remember that anyone in pvp gear will shit on you

#

It's literally just hit conquest cap, wait a week repeat

#

You can do pvp after a bit

cyan glen
#

this might be super stupid but how do i get conquest?

#

rdgs and 2s?

pallid fulcrum
#

Pvp

cyan glen
#

like arena and stuff

#

ok

#

thought so just kinda forgot

pallid fulcrum
#

Once you're kinda in to PvP the gearing system is great

#

Just getting into it is a fuck and a half

azure reef
#

I usually focus on pve for a few weeks before doing anything pvp related

#

Get some decent gear before farming the pvp gear and such

cyan glen
#

whats the cap for conquest

tawdry cobalt
#

I'm a lvl 50 destruction warlock trying to aoe farm but keep dying any tips I'm new to the game.

pallid fulcrum
#

tryna aoe farm what?

#

level 50 you should be goin into shadowlands content and questing thru there

tawdry cobalt
#

Unfortunately I've not got the money to buy shadowlands atm. And I'm farming for a mount that requires 20 Abyssal frags I pull 5 mobs and instead of going onto my pet they atk me.

pallid fulcrum
#

pet only taunts one dude every 8s

#

idk man, be more careful? not really anything to do

tawdry cobalt
#

Ok

winter saddle
#

@azure reef forgot to tell you I got the mount paladin

pallid fulcrum
#

hm my brother mentioned seeing some bm monk twink who had leech and shit, wonderin if anyone knows how thats possible?

i guess "Enchant Weapon - Lifestealing", but that sounds pretty low impact

uncut path
#

i need help deciding what professions to use for a vulpera rogue i’m about to make: engineering and mining, alchemy and herbalism, or engineering and alchemy

pallid fulcrum
#

kinda just doesnt matter tbh

#

engi is a bunch of utility and alchemy makes your flasks last 2hrs not 1hr, thats literally all the practical bonuses - aside from those two little bits its just money making

#

so go what you think looks the best to make money with. not even like you would think "oh i need this profession to make stuff for my character" cause you can just go any other profession then buy it with money you make from that

#

id kinda reccomend doing herb+mining rather than one or the other cause you can kinda do them together, but eh thats just my two cents.

#

definitely possible to make money from crafting professions with no gatherin professions to supply the mats directly, but thatd require a bi more knowledge of the market on your server

uncut path
#

so professions aren’t worth much besides money? lol

hasty spear
#

Just like irl

pallid fulcrum
#

yeah thats kinda their point

#

its just what flavor of money making you want

#

like you can go "oh i want leatherworking to make legendary pieces for my rogue", but unless your server is tiny as fuck you can do any other profession for money then buy them

fluid horizon
pallid fulcrum
#

like i personally wouldnt say to go a crafting profession without a gathering profession that directly feeds it resources - having to buy resources, process them, sell the product for profit takes good knowlegde of the market so just getting resources yourself is heaps easier

#

Personally i dont go either mining or herb because of the crossover, so i just go both or neither

#

but ehh, really cant go wrong with professions yknow

#

If you want to see practical benefit aswell as the usual money making theres Engi utility (like a clunky battlerez) while Alchemy making flasks like double duration (1h->2h) saves a bit of money in the long run

#

but again its whatever, go with what profession looks fun to make money to you

#

low effort would be Tailoring+Enchanting as both are independant

heady viper
#

I made a tank and I'm using mythic dungeon tools

#

but idk how to link it in the chat?

#

I'm guessing it's "Share" but that's greyed out

hasty spear
#

I just go with whatever fits the race/class/spec of my character. Like for an assassin that weilds poisened blades i guess alchemy and therefor herbalism is a great fit

heady viper
#

For money, pick something that benefits your class - i.e. skinning and leatherworking for a leather user

#

for just practicality, I always go engineering/alchemy

#

I do raids/dungeons, so the extended length on potions is great and engineering gives you things like combat res and traps

pallid fulcrum
#

yeah i was kinda goin tailoring+enchant cause zero effort money making, gonna swap enchant to alch just for the potion thing

#

thing is, rather than crafting legendary stuff with my tailoring ive just bought it with money made from enchant lmfao

#

Engi is lovely. brez is great but you cant really rely in on it know - especially as a tank/heal

hybrid breach
#

can anyone help me with quests in the maw

umbral plaza
#

hi guys im in draenor now but how do i accept the warlord of draenor quest

#

where is the npc

#

to start it

azure reef
#

You start the WoD quests at the dark portal/mission board at your city

umbral plaza
#

i cant find it on the board

azure reef
#

Are you trying to level new character?

umbral plaza
#

i need to unlock garnision

#

to farm a mount

azure reef
#

If you’re level 50+ it should be acceptable from the mission board

umbral plaza
#

i have only Krasarang Kun Lai and uldum

azure reef
#

Hmm MoP and Cata, idk if there’s multiple mission boards

#

What level are you now?

umbral plaza
#

60

azure reef
#

You may be able to get the starting quest from Khadgar in the blasted lands

#

If not from the mission board

#

There should be an npc on the portal room that can send you there

umbral plaza
#

ok thx

azure reef
#

Make sure you have trivial quests turned on

umbral plaza
#

whats that

azure reef
#

If you right click your mini map you can tick trivial quests, it will show low level quest on ur map iirc

#

Just makes it easier to follow the questline without missing quests you need/want

hybrid breach
#

can anyone help me kill this one quest person

#

its annoying

azure reef
#

Try ingame chat maybe? Or the discord’s lfg channel for your faction/region

fathom ingot
white ether
#

whats the best proffession for paladin

#

tank paladin

fathom ingot
#

Technically engineering/alchemy if you're minmaxing M+ and raid @white ether

#

but if you could care less about min maxing professions then it really doesnt matter

pallid fulcrum
#

Yeah they're entirely meaningless

#

Engi has some nice utility and alchemy makes one type of potion last double duration(1h->2h). All professions, including those two, just comes down to "what flavor of money making do I feel like"

#

Crafting professions without a corresponding gathering professions to back them up is a bit rough unless you know the market well. I personally go neither Mining nor Herb or both, one or the other feels wrong considering the bit of overlap; then again paladin isn't one of the better classes for gathering due to limited mobility, yet it doesn't matter either way honestly

#

If you just want low effort professions Tailoring+Enchanting is nice as both are fully independent

#

@white ether

#

But yeah they don't really matter, all get the same outcome for the most part- not like you should go "well i need blacksmithing to make armor for my Paladin" as you can just do any other profession and buy said armor with money you made

white ether
#

True true

#

I was thinking of enchanting and jewelcrafting to maximize my stats

#

But for jewelcrafting I’ll be depended on buying mining resources right

pallid fulcrum
#

Yeah

white ether
#

So would that be a good combo?

pallid fulcrum
#

And buying mining resources to process with jewelcrafting to turn a profit is hard

#

Havnt done it myself personally, but just keep in mind that approach will need you to get a feel for prices on your server

#

Buy materials when they're cheap, sell gems when they're expensive

#

Half of it is tied to when bots/multiboxers dump their stock

white ether
#

What’s the most profitable profession then?

pallid fulcrum
#

I guess any crafting profession if you know the market

#

Making legendaries is good money just annoying to do

white ether
#

So then jewelcrAfting and enchanting is a bad combo?

pallid fulcrum
#

Can never go wrong with mining/herb or fishing, they're a lot more of a separate thing you dedicate time to tho

#

That's up to you man

#

Enchanting is entirely independent just by itself which is great - disenchant excess gear, use mats to craft whatever is most profitable

#

Jewelcrafting without mining will be a bit hard to profit off, but isn't necessarily a bad idea

white ether
#

Well I can use mining to level my JC to the max

#

And then change mining to enchanting right

pallid fulcrum
#

Tbf with the time investment levelling mining is to max I really wouldn't

white ether
#

Man why is choosing professions so hard

pallid fulcrum
#

They're all good it's just a bit to consider yknow

#

Pretty much just what flavor of money making you feel like

#

Except a crafting without a gathering takes knowledge of the market

white ether
#

Yeah I feel like just making stuff rather than just gathering it all the time

pallid fulcrum
#

Also anything you can make with jewelcrafting you can also buy off the ah btw

#

Yeah that's honestly fair

white ether
#

Wait

pallid fulcrum
#

I just went Tailor+Enchant cause there's no buying mats if I don't want to, no farming mats really

white ether
#

So you can just buy the stuff you make from jc in the store

pallid fulcrum
#

Yah

white ether
#

Then I might as well do engendering and enchanting

pallid fulcrum
#

The auction house

#

That's what I mean

white ether
#

Yeah that makes sense

pallid fulcrum
#

There's no "I'll go this profession to craft what benefits me" as you can go any profession to make money then just buy it

#

Aside from engineering utility and alchemy making some potions last longer

#

So it really just comes down to what flavor of money making looks the most interesting to you. Also gotta consider class a bit but it doesn't matter too much - id rather not go Herb/Mining on a pally when I could do it on my Druid type of thing, but yeah doesn't really matter too much either way

stray rapids
#

im missing one renown

#

but i dont seem to have anything to get it

#

heroic works here?

white ether
#

Hmm

fathom ingot
#

You're renown 53? @stray rapids

pallid fulcrum
#

Done the anima weekly, Korthia weekly, some other weekly I forgot?

white ether
#

Yeah then I’d rather start with enchanting since it scales with lvling anyway

fathom ingot
#

should be a quest in Korthia asking you to report to Ardenweald

white ether
#

And I’ll sell the stuff I make from engeneering which also is useful for raids

fathom ingot
#

that's part of the campaign and grants one renown

Enchant is great, rather than selling gear to vendors you just disenchant it. The materials build up and you end up just turning them into enchants you sell on the AH when prices are good

fathom ingot
#

heroic dungeon spam should be fine

#

just make sure you finish all the possible quests that grant renown that are available first

white ether
#

Is engereering a hard skill

pallid fulcrum
#

Relatively yes

white ether
#

And is tailoring good for paladins?

#

Because I’m a beginner

pallid fulcrum
#

Tailoring doesn't need a gathering profession so it's really convenient

#

It makes cloth gear which paladin can't use, then again you can just sell what you make for money to buy relevant things

white ether
#

Do you need a gathering profession for engeneering

pallid fulcrum
#

It's tied to mining

white ether
#

Mining sucks though

fathom ingot
#

There's no requirement with professions except just having to learn the skill

#

like I said, engineering + alchemy is fine, that's what I run because I do M+ and raid

#

neither are gathering professions

pallid fulcrum
#

Engineering is honestly more about convenience than money making

fathom ingot
#

that being said, crafting professions are also very expensive to level up

#

so generally people like to pair with a gathering

#

so mining + engineering, herbalism + alchemy, skinning + leatherworking, etc

pallid fulcrum
#

Engi is more in depth than the other professions too - any other profession you just learn and level up Shadowlands (most recent xpac), with Engi you take bits from most expansions

fathom ingot
#

that's not true?

#

just level up shadowlands engineering

white ether
#

What’s a good pair for enchanting

fathom ingot
#

there's no dipping back into previous expansions for SL Engineering

pallid fulcrum
#

And miss out on the portable repairs?

#

Most expansions have things still relevant for engineering

fathom ingot
#

well that's pretty optional, same with certain stuff in other professions

pallid fulcrum
#

Half of engineering is that optional stuff from old expansions

#

If you have engi anyway why not get the portable repairs things

fathom ingot
#

because it's almost irrelevant in most scenarios

#

only time you'd ever need it is in raid

white ether
#

Should I do engineering on a later character

fathom ingot
#

You choose, doesn't matter

pallid fulcrum
#

I personally like not raiding with broken gear but that might just be me

white ether
#

And do something else with my first character

#

To learn the game

pallid fulcrum
keen pewter
#

You're saying that as if there aren't quick options for repairing gear aside of engineering xD

pallid fulcrum
#

Just saying most of the classic-shadowlands stuff isnt outdated

#

Most of it is pretty convenient and worth picking up

fathom ingot
#

Most of the stuff from previous Shadowlands engineering is very outdated

pallid fulcrum
#

Didn't know shadowlands engineering included a portable repair?

fathom ingot
#

only few things from previous expacs are actually still used

white ether
#

So basically if I can rnchanting then doing a crafting on the side makes it harder

#

Because you can’t gather the materials for it

fathom ingot
#

Ah yes, half of engineering is based around a portable repair that serves the one use of using it in raid when you cant mount

pallid fulcrum
#

It's just crafting without a supporting gathering is hard

#

I really wouldn't reccomend it

fathom ingot
#

even Blizzard is cracking down on previous expac engineering things

#

outside of portals and stuff, actual useable stuff have been getting nerfed in SL

pallid fulcrum
#

Honestly, tailoring+Enchant could be good? Neither need a gathering profession, it's an easy thing to get into

white ether
#

So then tailoring and enchanting would make me the most money by just playing

#

That’s what I did before on my priest

#

But I deleted that character because I got the wrong race

pallid fulcrum
#

Passive income nice income

#

But yeah nah the answer is pretty much do what you want

#

Engi has utility, alchemy saves money in the long run

white ether
#

Aye

pallid fulcrum
#

All professions boil down to how you wanna make money

white ether
#

Also can’t I as a paladin tank make lots of money by just tanking dungeons

fathom ingot
#

No

#

people won't pay you to tank dungeons

#

unless you're highly rated in M+

white ether
#

M+?

pallid fulcrum
#

Thanks are hard to come by, but not to that extent

fathom ingot
#

mythic plus

pallid fulcrum
#

Endgame dungeons

white ether
#

Ahh

fathom ingot
#

highest difficulty of dungeons

pallid fulcrum
#

Like normal dungeons but harder and with a timer

tight elbow
#

Not in retail

fathom ingot
#

timer + boss requirements + mob percentage requirement

#

so none of that boss cheese in PF where you double skip bosses

pallid fulcrum
#

For queues tanks are nearly instant, healer is fast for most things, dps is long. Ain't dire enough that people pay for tanks

#

As a tank people will dm you either hate or compliments tho

fathom ingot
#

boosting keys is a separate thing but that's only relevant when you're really good at the game to put it bluntly

white ether
#

Aye aye

fathom ingot
#

not to mention learning tank/healer is arguably one of the most toxic moments in you will experience

white ether
#

Hmm guess I’ll just make decent money by tailoring and enchanting

pallid fulcrum
#

Paladin is a nice start tho, can do all three roles and there's personality to each

#

Good way to get back into it I reckon

white ether
#

Cannot be worse than lesgue of legends

#

Yeah exactly

pallid fulcrum
#

Nothing is

white ether
#

But yeah I’ll just make money from selling bags and enchanting stuff

pallid fulcrum
#

I probably rambled about professions too much sry lol

white ether
#

I don’t need to be super rich

#

It’s fine lol I need to learn it somehow

pallid fulcrum
#

Honestly, state of the game you can get surprisingly far without professions. Feels weird

#

Like it just throws money at you, don't need to actively farm it for a while

#

So don't sweat professions too much if you arnt liking them or whatever yknow

white ether
#

Tnx man

#

Honestly enchanting and tailoring is fine

#

Because you get that stuff from playing anyway

#

So I won’t have to focus on it

#

And I can sell my tailoring stuff to priest

pallid fulcrum
#

Honestly a really chill combo

#

Tailoring also makes enemies drop more cloth

#

So truly is just passive money

white ether
#

Exactly

#

And it’s gonna take a while before I start raiding and all stuff

#

So I might as well do the other professions on other characters and transfer it

pallid fulcrum
#

Yeah does sound good man

#

Pally is in a fantastic spot atm too

white ether
#

Fr?

#

How

pallid fulcrum
#

Holy pally is arguably the best healer in high end mythic+ largely because of their ridiculous damage output

#

Tank balance is pretty alright and prot pally is just an all around strong spec

#

Ret is fucking weird but also in a good spot

fathom ingot
#

Prot pal is actually on the weaker side of tanks

bold oyster
#

What's weird about ret?

fathom ingot
#

not to mention its ridiculous skill ceiling

pallid fulcrum
#

Still ain't bad yknow

#

Like relative to some of the shit wow has seen, tanks are decent atm

white ether
#

Wait tank paladin is bad rn?

#

Or is that in retail

fathom ingot
#

It's not bad in retail but not really that strong compared to other tanks

#

although in raid, it's great

pallid fulcrum
#

Relatively weak, relative to tanks being in a good spot anyways

fathom ingot
#

but again, high skill ceiling

white ether
#

But then what’s the best skill tree for paladin

fathom ingot
#

That's dependent on covenant and spec

#

unless you mean talents

#

either way, consult the peeps in the paladin discord

white ether
#

Aye tnx

keen pewter
#

And he laughed

white ether
#

@keen pewter we all laughed

keen pewter
#

I think some of us cried PepeHands

white ether
#

Agreed

wraith dome
#

When is blizzcon!?

keen pewter
#

When they announce it

azure reef
#

pallid fulcrum
#

K, so I got this Mage class quest, Mastering The Arcane, and it's telling me to go do SHadowfang, but I can't since it won't show up in Group Finder

keen pewter
#

Walk to it

potent iris
#

@wraith dome are we even getting one this year? Also still nothing on new cod

#

There is always a new cod

#

But with all the lawsuit stuff going on I wonder if we won't get a new cod and blizzcon this year

potent iris
#

Definitely won't be getting another online one soon either

#

Do the skins and stuff from blizzcon ever get added to the game to buy from the shop?

keen pewter
#

Not really

potent iris
#

Anyone ever buy tcg booster packs? How rare are the mounts?

Hi I have a little problem, I used a sesame for one of my characters (allii rating), I abandoned the quest where we go to the den and we connect the pieces of headphones and it is now impossible that I redo it or that I go in the den someone would have a solution please?

hasty spear
#

sesame? Headphone pieces? what kind of quest is that?

keen pewter
#

I have no idea lol

unique dawn
#

the quest where we pass a portal and then start in the lair

hasty spear
#

you dont know how little that narrows it down 👀

#

which characters did you interact with? where did this happen?

unique dawn
#

with Generalissimo Darion Morgraine

#

I bought a sesame to go directly to level 50 then unwittingly I abandoned the quest which allows you to start exploring the lair
