wow-help

[old basin]

currently in zandalaar

[short frost]

main story quests have the special shielded quest

🛡️

[old basin]

dont they all have that quest symbol?

[white oxide]

They don’t all have the shielded background

If they do, you’re doing it right

That is, if you want to get to endgame

[lone blaze]

wait does shard of bek activate based on % hp, not actual hp values?

[fathom ingot]

It's percentage hp yes @lone blaze

so it will activate once the difference between percentages are at least 50%

if I have 100% hp and the boss has 50% hp, shard of bek will activate

[weak sphinx]

Do u guys have any advice to finding the mad merchant vendor in the new dalaran

[vale hawk]

Just hang in the Wonderworks Toy Shop and wait for him to spawn

[weak sphinx]

Any idea what the spawn timer is?

@vale hawk

I do ask let's say a friend finds him up on his sever if I join his party will he appear for me

[vale hawk]

It's pretty random. Some reports as low as 4 hrs, with him around for 1-2 hours

[vale hawk]

If he's up for your friend and you group up with him and joib his phase, yeah

[weak sphinx]

Awesome

[weak sphinx]

@gumball#5280

Can anyone alert me if a necrolord assault is up in the maw

I need it for the hand mount

[neon cedar]

i think it's a set rotation

[last spire]

hey would it be possible for me to get some help with a druid problem i am having? I cant seem to live longer then like 15 seconds if im lucky and i do not know where to go from here... I would really appreciate if someone could maybe give me some tips on how to do better

[merry cave]

Does the collections tab include every single available bit of armour in game ? Or are there some hidden bits for example if you are looking for some boots to go with a t-mog are there more boots you can find outside of what’s shown in collections?

[fluid horizon]

https://discord.gg/dyq7NFAG

[fluid horizon]

In collections it shows the items that you own, in the sets tab it shows the sets from every aspect of wow and the pieces that you have/miss from thst specific set
There are secret weapon appearances that can be tmoged too, but those will only show up in your collections if you get it

[stone loom]

anyone have any gold guides thats have helped them?

[azure reef]

Pretty much any recent gold guide you can find is applicable to an extent, it just varies on your server and how much time you’re willing to put in

A lot talk about farming mats, or selling crafted items which isn’t great because a lot of the prices have dropped too much

Although saving up mats and items that will be desirable next patch is a good idea, since the prices will go back up cause everyone will need them

[stone loom]

'mats'?

[azure reef]

Crafting materials

Leather, ore etc

[stone loom]

i see

and then sell of the regiments?

[azure reef]

Once the prices increase again ye

But like I said it varies heavily on your server

[stone loom]

what server r u on?

[azure reef]

I’m horde on Tarren mill

[stone loom]

im on argent dawn eu

rp time

[azure reef]

Selling mounts and transmogs is pretty decent in rp servers

But they can take a while to farm

Idk about end game reagents or crafted items

[stone loom]

i see

[tight elbow]

[stone loom]

if i get invincible im gonna be so rich kekw

[azure reef]

Can’t sell it

[stone loom]

D:

damn

why not

[azure reef]

There’s only a few select mounts you can actually sell

[tight elbow]

It's a BoP item

[azure reef]

You can only sell certain profession mounts and BoE mounts found in the open world

Such as the Terrified pack mule or goldenmane

[stone loom]

wat r they?

[azure reef]

The 2 mentioned are mounts you can farm in battle for Azeroth alliance zones

But every crafting profession can sell a few mounts, it’s just acquiring the recipes or crafting them can be the hard part

[stone loom]

what zones can i find them in?

kul tiras?

[azure reef]

Yep, the mule is from drustvar and goldenmane the northern zone

Though they have very low drop chances

[stone loom]

what mob do i have kill?

[azure reef]

But currently on my server they are going for 150-200k

[stone loom]

damn

thats alot

[azure reef]

Idk about goldemane but the mule is dropped from bewitched humans in the zone

[opaque drift]

i was venthyr, then i switched to necro. what happens if i return back to ventyr? do i have to complete a special quest? will i start from renown level 1 ?

[fathom ingot]

You just do the same quest for switching @opaque drift

You don't lose any venthyr and I believe you don't lose any covenant upgrades you had as venthyr

[opaque drift]

thanks

[merry cave]

Ok thank you so probably no secret boots they all show up under collections either unlocked or locked

[weak sphinx]

Will yal @ me if the mad merchant vendor is up

[pallid fulcrum]

hello
can anyone tell me why i cant fly with my mount?
even tho i could do it in ogrimmar?

[stone loom]

how do i disenchant my gear when selling to a vendor?

[fathom ingot]

Depends on the zone @pallid fulcrum

[pallid fulcrum]

im in zuldazar rn

[fathom ingot]

BFA requires you to complete certain achievements to unlock flying

[main crane]

Hello I started covenants yesterday. I know that iw I'll get quests every day. And school is starting so I can only play in the weekend. Is there a way to finish the campaign faster.

[fathom ingot]

zuldazar would be a BFA zone so you would need to complete the two pathfinder achievements for it

[pallid fulcrum]

where do i find these quests?

[fathom ingot]

You can farm renown with pvp, dungeons, and raids

@pallid fulcrum They're not technically quests

[pallid fulcrum]

wha

[fathom ingot]

take a look at this: https://www.wowhead.com/battle-for-azeroth-pathfinder-how-to-unlock-flying-in-bfa

Well they're achievements which includes questlines

but there are a lot more stuff required

[pallid fulcrum]

wtf

is there no easier way?

[fathom ingot]

Disenchanting is only available to SL alchemists (at least for the gear you linked)

it's an ability that comes with the alchemy profession

@pallid fulcrum Nope, and that's after nerfing some of the requirements to make them easier

[pallid fulcrum]

thats like a 1000 quest or so wtf

[fathom ingot]

so until they change it, you need the achievements

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pallid fulcrum]

and where can i fly without doing this sht?

[fathom ingot]

I think you can automatically fly in any zone that's from an expansion before BFA

assuming you have flying learned and whatnot of course

Shadowlands flying is locked behind renown, which is a bit of a grind, but way faster than BFA

[pallid fulcrum]

ugh okay

thank you

[fathom ingot]

and SL is after BFA so levels 50-60

[stone loom]

i see

i just want to get the extra gold ya see-

:P

so go get alchemy?

[scarlet widget]

They mis-spoke @stone loom it is enchanting - disenchanting items is how enchanters obtain materials.

[fathom ingot]

Oh yeah it's enchanting, mb

[scarlet widget]

you can get someone who is an enchanter to disenchant bind on equip items that you have never/will never use but for any soul-bound item the enchanter, themselves, has to d/e them.

[fathom ingot]

I get the two confused a lot 👀

[stone loom]

oki

thank you c:

[scarlet widget]

So many systems, so little time.

[kind burrow]

Yo so I just started playing, and have NO IDEA what I’m doing. Someone help 😪

[scarlet widget]

Your best bet is to follow along with any quests that are marked and be sure to read each of the help tips that Blizz has added (there used to be none, so it was really tough!). Wowhead has great beginner guides of all types, of course.

if you run into specific questions as you are moving along, you can bring them here and folks will lend a paw as they have time to help.

[kind burrow]

I’m just confused cause there’s A LOT in this game…. Rn I’m just doing my quest but seems there’s a lot of those too😂 but I have no idea what I’m doing with my characters build. I’m actually just running around questing and killing things

But sounds good! Is there a channel where I could play with someone? Maybe a little more experienced and versed in the game than me?

[scarlet widget]

That is pretty normal - there is a lot. The actual build and all is something you really do not have to worry about for a bit, as the drops from the quests will help you progress and you out-level them very fast.
You can post in the appropriate 'Looking For..." over on the left - like https://discord.gg/ytWf7ZEa

there are different topics for retail, classic era, classic tbc, and then faction under EU or US, so drop in a note saying you are looking for a leveling partner or partners

[tight elbow]

You don't. You need to have enchanting as a profession to disenchant

[weak sphinx]

Has anyone know the last time the mad merchant was up?

[neon cedar]

I would think that varies with shard

[pallid fulcrum]

Hello every1

[fluid horizon]

Hi

[pallid fulcrum]

I wanna ask some things about wow. im newbie i wanna start playing wow. i heard for some free servers.

or wow trial till lvl 20? any useful tips?

[fluid horizon]

Ye there are private servers, but we are not allowed to talk about them on this server, so rip

But you can always do free trials, which lets you play till 20 for free

[pallid fulcrum]

dont have any idea or clue about wow. thats why im asking. so i can find something

[fluid horizon]

If you get stuck on a quest, read the description, or google it, everything is on the web

Pay attention to the things you learn in the tutorial

[pallid fulcrum]

Could you tell me any link to download it?

and create acc etc?

[fluid horizon]

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/

Everything can be easily found here

[pallid fulcrum]

oh nice.

thanks so much

[vale hawk]

https://www.wowhead.com/guide=3367/world-of-warcraft-for-new-players
https://www.wowhead.com/guides/new-players

[pallid fulcrum]

thanks @vale hawk

[quasi sequoia]

Hey, is level 20 max till I need to pay?

If so how much to get higher

[hasty spear]

Starter Edition is up to lv 20
Standard Sub is up to lv 50
with Shadowlands its up to lv 60

Depending on how much gametime you get you pay different. its about 12~13€ for 30 days.
Just check the Battle net store

[frosty iron]

Where can I find most up to date Gladiusex?

They're all outdated somehow

[main crane]

what does the reward do

?

[vale hawk]

It awards 175 reputation with the Ascended

[fluid horizon]

The ascended is a reputation that this wq gives you progress towards, it awards different things for getting a certain amount of rep with them

For example if you max the rep out, you will be able to buy a mount for 25k ish gold

[main crane]

ok thank you both

[golden warren]

can anyone help me get from 1400 to 1600 in 2s pvp iv been trying for so long

[fluid horizon]

You should improve your pvp skills more or find a person that will play with you and group up with you, learn his playstyle and the way he plays, ask for advice, and push till 2.4k

You wont be that lucky enough to find someone who is the same region, server as you, does pvp, wants to ,, boost you" to 1.6k,and he is on this server

[calm frost]

any outlaw rogue here?

[golden warren]

im not a bad player im just looking for a teammate who i can play with who actually does a lot of pvp

[weary forge]

anyone wanna group up for stormgarde warfront? i wanna get that t3 plate set 😄

[opaque drift]

do anyone watch dalaran gaming 1v1?
why is arm warrior always dominating there? non equal gear or what?

[frosty iron]

i watch sometimes

there's episodes where any class dominates

[vale hawk]

Arms traditionally dominates when it comes to PvP due to its burst and utility

It basically hits like a truck

[azure reef]

as a dh its pretty much impossible to solo an arms

not fun

[vale hawk]

It struggles dealing with ranged slows and suffers from a lack of self-healing, so you're more or less best dealing with them by kiting them and then getting them to waste their defensive CDs to burst them down

[azure reef]

who needs self heals when you destroy most specs before they can do anything

[main crane]

which one should I pick

[vale hawk]

Eventually you'll want each one

[main crane]

so anyone of them

[vale hawk]

Yep

[lone zinc]

hello guys , i really need help

i am doing the End of the saga quest for paladin

right now i am at Azsuna and i want to go to dalaran

how can i do that ?

i am finding navigating around different parts of the world very challenging as a beginner

[vale hawk]

You should use either your Dalaran hearthstone or just use a flightmaster to get to Dalaran

[main crane]

sorry for asking so many questions but which one should I choose?

[lone zinc]

OMG i just found a dalaran heathstone in my bag . thank YOU

[vale hawk]

Yeah, it's a thing you get when you first get to Dalaran

[vale hawk]

You get all three

It doesn't say to choose one

[main crane]

oops

[vale hawk]

Gotta read the text more

[main crane]

i am just really sleepy sorry

its 5am lol

[lone zinc]

same here lol

[main crane]

which one should I add and where

[vale hawk]

Read a guide for your class and spec. There are guides for the best recommended conduits and soulbinds for each form of content

[main crane]

thank you

[lone zinc]

can i keep this sword and shield ? and can i upgrade them later on to higher levels ?

[vale hawk]

If it says it's upgradable, sure

Oh wait are those your Legion artifact weapons?

Lmao don't worry about those. Keep them around just to unlock the appearances, but you'll replace them as soon as you start Shadowlands content

You're leveling, so just equip whatever has a higher item level

[lone zinc]

ok

i just loved how they look

can i make other sword and shield look like them ?

they look badass to be honest xD

[vale hawk]

Once you've unlocked appearances, you can use transmogrification npcs to change the appearances of whatever gear you're wearing into appearances you've unlocked

[lone zinc]

thank you so much sir\

[vale coral]

not really help but kinda curous why no one really does tazavesh. are people just not doing it or is it some other reason?

[vale hawk]

Because it's hard and takes longer than 10 minutes

My personal guess is that most people are waiting for it to be chopped in half similar to the Mechagon megadungeon

[vale coral]

yeaaaaa i can see that lol. guess i can worry about it later then if thats the case

[vale hawk]

If you can't find a group you can always make your own, but yeah I understand the frustration on incompleted content

[azure reef]

It can also be a pain with randoms since the mechanics are definitely more complex than a normal dungeon

But I’ve never had any issues finding a normal or hardmode group

[tawdry stone]

how do you upgrade Jaithys

is there a particular type of weapon you need to feed it

[azure reef]

Be careful cause the more weapons you consume the proc and damage is increased but the secondary stats are reduced

And it’s permanent

[tawdry stone]

yeah simmed myself for rank 4

and thats my highest dps

[azure reef]

Ye gives damage proc and strength proc

Really nice

Still not had it drop for my paladin, though I mainly play holy so not too fussed

[tawdry stone]

green BOEs arent working for me

[azure reef]

Maybe purples/epics?

If you haven’t tried those yet

[tawdry stone]

yeah i just bought some purple weapons and those worked

[azure reef]

Maybe it depended on the green boe used but idk

[true grotto]

Hello,I want to get a mount called Arboreal Gulper, Where you require a unusually large mushroom, and put it in some soil then fight the boss.. Does anybody have or can help get a unusually large mushroom to activate it? (Im a Alliance Mage on Tarren mill)

[polar wasp]

The mushroom is a frequent drop from killing things in the zone,check the wowhead page for it

[potent sluice]

am i right that shard of bek works like so: if i have 100% hp (even if my max is like 40-50khp) and the boss is at 50%hp or lower (even if the boss' health is still like 10mil+), my damage is increased?

it doesn't work like...if i have 50k hp at the time, my damage doesn't get increased until the enemy is at 25khp or lower

[azure reef]

It’s % wise not actual health

So if a boss is at 20% and you’re at 70% you’ll get the damage increase and vice versa

[potent sluice]

okay, just needed to confirm that, i got in my head, lel

i don't understand why i wouldn't pick that over cor in terms of boss fights then

[azure reef]

I use it but I’ve got all 5 Dom sockets

[potent sluice]

i only have 4, i just saw a prio list where its below cor for raids

in terms of upgrades

[azure reef]

Probably because more uptime on bek since cor is only up for 20 seconds upon attacking an enemy for the first time

[potent sluice]

yeah, that's what i mean, they had cor as being better to upgrade rather than bek, when it seems like it'd have longer uptime for bosses

anyway, small things

[azure reef]

Hmm maybe for burst? And in high end raiding sometimes you may struggle to be a certain health depending on your spec

Bek gets little use if you’re healers are struggling to heal through mechanics or if you’re making it hard for yourself

[main crane]

hello

i am trying to add addons and they dont show up in game

Am I doing it right

[polar wasp]

get the program "WowUP" makes itt all automated

might fix your problem

[pseudo parrot]

me and a buddy are getting back into retail wow and he is on sargeras and im on darkspear will we ba able to play with one another

like do mythics and join guild

[polar wasp]

you'd have to check if darkspear and sargeras are linked realms

[pseudo parrot]

it says both of them are not connected

[polar wasp]

if yes,you will be able to do everything,otherwise,you'll be able to play together,but wont be able to join same guild

[pseudo parrot]

unless the list is out of date

[charred zenith]

hi im trying to unlock the nightborne, but i dont get the next quest to finish sumaran storyline

[short frost]

maybe you miss some requirement

[charred zenith]

oh 😦

[fluid horizon]

I had a similar problem with the same questline, go into suramar city, press your extra action button, check your map, and a ! should appear in suramar city, or at least that solved the problem for me

[dusty quail]

Can anyone group with me I’m a level 13 human mage

Just want someone to play with

[weak sphinx]

I need help camping this elusive quickhoof mount

[harsh swallow]

someone help me how to download this game and play on private server

[vale hawk]

No, because private servers are against Blizz ToS and against the rules of this server

[pseudo laurel]

Does 9.1.5 drop on the 30th? I went to do a solo island thing and it appears you can't do that yet

[fathom ingot]

I don't think so

iirc they're releasing it on PTR first

[pseudo laurel]

Oh alright, so do we know when solo island expeditions are going to be coming out?

[tight elbow]

Unkown. The patch hasnt even gone live on PTR yet

[pseudo laurel]

Alright then.

[vale hawk]

Basically, until there's an official release date for 9.1.5 you'll have to find two friends

[timber badger]

As a new player, should I do the Covenant campaign first, before the Chains of Domination campaign?

[pseudo laurel]

I do not have 2 friends so I'll just hang out til 9.1.5 drops

How are island expeditions for exp rewards?

[fathom ingot]

You're pretty much forced to do so

[tight elbow]

You have to do it first

[timber badger]

Alright thanks

I got to 3/9 on Chains before I realised

[vale hawk]

Just the gear you get from the covenant campaign alone makes doing the Chains campaign easier

[opaque drift]

is sin easier that arms in pvp?

[vale hawk]

Meh, as far as the skill floor and cheesing it I'd say arms pulls ahead

Optimally assassination is better but arms just hits like a truck

[pastel arrow]

Hey guys I know this is more of a technical question but I’ll just give it a shot. I feel like I have a decent cpu (ryzen 5 3600 and 2070 super) I’m playing at 1440 but in 20 man raids I dip in fps super hard. Even at 2 in graphic settings. Is that normal for my specs?

[short frost]

try messing with particle density

[jagged shard]

if it is happening at 2, I would say it's not geometry, but latency- a 2070 super is fine for max settings 1440p

[pastel arrow]

aw man ok ok

[proud burrow]

hey can i get help this quest continue the campaign by accepting the quest inquistor vilhelms sinstone in revendreth. i cant find the place.

[fluid thicket]

is someone here using an m+ interrupt tracker for the group? cant find one which still works

[keen pewter]

When I was still playing I used this one

let me log in

[potent iris]

So my game was dropping to 15 fps in wod winter area

[proud burrow]

i find it now

[potent iris]

I have rtx3080 and i9 10850k

Anyone know why

Sometimes I get small frame drops

Playing at 4k

[proud burrow]

updated drivers?

[potent iris]

Yep

[proud burrow]

Hmm

[potent iris]

Wod snow area was 15fps

[proud burrow]

I have 2070 super and 5800x

no problem

[potent iris]

With my rtx 3080 at 100%

[proud burrow]

new bios?

Wow..

[potent iris]

Nope

[proud burrow]

Sound very weird.

[potent iris]

All other games run fine at max settings at 4k60

[proud burrow]

i play in 2k. 170hz

[potent iris]

What settings do you play at

[fluid thicket]

thanks

[proud burrow]

i have 100fps.

No problem here

[potent iris]

Max everything?

Yeah rtx 3080 shouldn't have any issues with wow

Yet it does

I can play all the newest games at max settings just fine at 4k

[potent iris]

Except wow has frame drops and wod area runs at 15 to 20 fps sometimes

[keen pewter]

https://wago.io/HKFw8y8QR

[proud burrow]

High settings

[keen pewter]

It was working in 9.0.5

[fluid thicket]

thank you very much

[potent iris]

I have everything on max and Ray tracing on

[keen pewter]

Is what I used

pretty nice

[fluid thicket]

let me try it out

[keen pewter]

Though it only starts to work once it detects an interrupt for each player

then it's a simple countdown

[fluid thicket]

okay

[tight elbow]

REEEEEEEEEE, Take a screenshot, dont use your phone!

[proud burrow]

?

you can see it cleary

[tight elbow]

Screenshot

[proud burrow]

? of

you can see it already..

Just open eyes

[tight elbow]

Just take screenshots. Donmt use your phone 👍

[proud burrow]

nope 🙂

Just open eyes more easy

[potent iris]

What professions do you recommend for wod?

[vale hawk]

Unsure what you mean by this. Your professions are the same ones regardless of xpac

They just have different ranks and recipes depending on each one

[potent iris]

Thought wod ones let you get mounts or some rewards?

Or stuff for garrison?

[vale hawk]

They do, but whatever profession you already have is also what you'd have in WoD

[potent iris]

New char so I wanna pick 2 new ones

What about fetch training manual

Went to the vendor but he doesn't have it

Do I have to go there with my hunter?

[vale hawk]

It's an item for hunters, so yes

As far as what professions to pick, it all depends on what class you are

A paladin or warrior would get no real use out of having Leatherworking, for example

[potent iris]

Yeah I just want the wod items

Like mounts and pets etc

Toys etc

[vale hawk]

https://www.wowhead.com/guides/professions/wod/warlords-of-draenor-professions-overview

Depends on what you want

[potent iris]

Do I need pet training manual for each pet

Or once I use it all my future pets will have that skill

Like fetch

[vale hawk]

Works like fetch

Technically, it's you that learns the ability

[potent iris]

Oh so I only need to buy one of each?

[vale hawk]

Yep

[potent iris]

Is there any other ones I can get?

Or stuff I should get for hunter?

[vale hawk]

Fetch and play dead are really the only useful ones. Aspect of the Chameleon has very situational use in pvp

[flat wharf]

Returning player! Looking for awesome peeps to play along with, we have a discord server (no guild yet) but looking for returning players who are willing to join us in the long run! Hit me up if you're interested for raiding and leveling together, old skool ways

[serene tundra]

old skool.. so DKP points? loot council?

[keen pewter]

Doesn't really matter, there's only personal loot in retail 😂

[flat wharf]

you can keep your jokes with you if you're not interested

[coral rampart]

you didint state EU or NA

[odd whale]

@flat wharf , I’m a newbie 5-6 months now. I have a LV 60 human warrior, with 57 renown (Necrolord ) and LV 217 gear, I’m been thinking about making an Alt. Not sure what yet, but I do know whatever I choose I’m going to grind it out no 50 boost for me. But I’m always looking for good ppl to run content with. Let me know. Do you already have a team started?? If so what are you missing?? Healer? DPS ? Tank ??

[fathom ingot]

@flat wharf the #360584852170604545 or the alliance and/or us channels is where you would look for new people, not here or #retail-wow

[jagged shard]

I was going to say this is not LFG

[odd whale]

@fathom ingot isn’t this WoW help ?? He needs help, maybe he’s using multiple platforms/ groups. No harm. What is the the platform police ?? SMH.

[jagged shard]

poster is also posting the same message in multiple channels

[fathom ingot]

That is not wow help lol, that is just looking for new people

also this chat and #retail-wow get very active at times, his post would disappear out of view

it is best to post in the right channel where people looking for groups would generally look first and not arguably two of the most active channels in the server

you wanna smh "the platform police" but completely ignore there are 34 different LFG channels, they exist for a reason so people wanting to join a group or find people to join their group have easier times

[odd whale]

@fathom ingot , he’s new just like me to all this is why I was SMH, just cut us a little slack,, you could have just said hey brother, try XYZ for what you’re looks for. Just like how you explain it to me.

[vale hawk]

That's why we're just trying to provide the better place to post this kind of stuff. It's not admonishing you, it's trying to point you in the right direction to get the most out of your posting

A correction isn't always negative, simmer down

[odd whale]

@vale hawk , now your putting your 2 cents in. It’s always something,, they were laughing at the guy for asking a question, god dam you’ll act like it’s the end of the world and try to belittle ppl ,,,, class act !!

[vale hawk]

That's... not what we're doing?

We're just saying "hey, this is the wrong place to post this. Post it here instead." Nobody is putting anyone in a dunce hat for being mistaken

You're taking being wrong very personally

[tight elbow]

wat?

[vale hawk]

Just let it go

[river pike]

I'm getting very annoyed at this persistent graphical issue. I've updated my drivers several times, I just have no idea what could be causing it.

[neon cedar]

driver bug that hasn't been fixed yet, or perhaps defective / damaged hardware

[river pike]

And so I have no idea how to fix it

[vale hawk]

That's what I'm thinking too

[river pike]

Any advise on the matter? I'm an idiot when it comes to pc

[neon cedar]

probably can't do anything other than wait or test a different video card

[vale hawk]

Or try a clean install of your graphics drivers

[coral rampart]

is it graphical glitches ingame ?

did you try changing ingame options on directX

from 11 to 12

or reverse

esc - system - advanced - graphics API

[jagged shard]

that looks like a hardware issue- but only a guess

[coral rampart]

i had terrible visual glitches few months ago

going from dx 11 to 12 fixed it for me

could be that his is hardware related donno just giving some ideas 😛

[river pike]

Thanks for the advise, i'll see if i can figure something out. this kinda just comes and goes in a few places, but is always present in the maw and revendreth.

[urban sphinx]

why is it when i try to complete the eye of azshara dungeon it doesnt show up when it is one of my quests?

It doesnt show on the group finder

[tight elbow]

what level are you? Are you a new player?

[urban sphinx]

im currently level 23 and i am a new play

*player

[vale hawk]

If you're not using Chromie Time (available after leveling a character to 50 at least once) then the only dungeons you can queue for are the BFA dungeons

[urban sphinx]

ok yeah because on the group finder it shows the battle of azeroth normal dungeons

[vale hawk]

The recommended leveling areas for levels 10-50 for new players by default are the BFA zones of Zandalar and Kul Tiras

You should have had your hand held there via the tutorial questing after leaving Exile's Reach and getting to your faction's capital city

[urban sphinx]

i went with demon hunter so it was different where i was doing the demon hunter campaign

[vale hawk]

Ah, yeah. That's one of the many reasons that demon hunters and death knights aren't recommended for new players

They were originally introduced at higher levels with their own starting experiences, so they're off the beaten path as it were for new inexperienced players

If you go to your capital city, you can find an NPC next to any mission board that will start the chain to go to the BFA content

[urban sphinx]

so i should level with BFA content to level 50

[vale hawk]

Yeah. Unless you're using Chromie Time, older expansion content won't scale to your level

[urban sphinx]

ok thanks

[neon spear]

where are teh chemist notes at the quest sampling teh goods i cant find it

[tired bear]

im new to world of warcraft mostly. Is anyone willing to help. im an undead warlock

[vale hawk]

These guides are an excellent place to start:
https://www.wowhead.com/warlock#
https://www.wowhead.com/guide=3367/world-of-warcraft-for-new-players
https://www.wowhead.com/guides/new-players

[fluid horizon]

If you ask it again in a better way we might be able to help you buddy

[neon spear]

nvm

[slender dome]

Does anyone have a list of good addons to have to help out if you're new?

I see people have cool ui's and stuff and I dont really know what addons do that

[fathom ingot]

I mean depends on what you want @slender dome

Details is almost always seen (damage/healing meters)

There are ton of UI addons that can entirely rework your UI (ElvUI) to specific parts of your UI (nameplates - KUI/Player, ability bars - Bartender4, etc)

the WeakAura addon is pretty essential as well since weakauras do provide quick functionality that are not seen in addons or are more easily obtained

so until you narrow down to specific parts you want to change, the list of addons is too extensive

[vale hawk]

I wouldn't recommend any big UI addons until after you become familiar with the default UI and know where things should be and what they should look like unmodified

[fluid horizon]

Selljunk, DBM, bagnon, non of these are conplicated, and make your life easier

[slender dome]

Ok Ill look at this thanks for the answers :)

[tired bear]

whats a good class for a begginer

[normal rock]

BM hunter tbh. It's a fairly easy rotation to get into and be ok with

[tight elbow]

Any class except Demon Hunter and Death Knight

[tired bear]

tbc

[tight elbow]

You should specify that when asking xD

[tired bear]

my bad. like i said im new 😬

[tight elbow]

You probably shouldnt start in TBC if you are a new player.

[tired bear]

where should i start

[tight elbow]

Retail WoW

@vale hawk

[sonic cloak]

getting back into wow after about 12 years. any tips? class i should start as etc,

[tired bear]

im with ya there if you wanna play

[sonic cloak]

what server you starting on?

[tired bear]

i private messaged you

[peak gust]

i dunno if its one of my addons or not - but sometimes while questing, in the quest box for rewards, gear will have like this sort of a coin with a "P" on it in the lower right corner of its icon - what is that P coin for?

[vale hawk]

That's definitely an addon

[pallid fulcrum]

I can't think of anything P would stand for. But I'd hold down shift to compare items anyway, so you don't accidentally sell something because of the gold coin the P is in

[peak gust]

hmmm - clueless of the meaning lol

[vale hawk]

Yeah, that looks like it'd easily be mistaken for a junk item lol

[peak gust]

ohhhhh! maybe its my pawn addon - it tells you if something is an upgrade and how much of a percentage of an upgrade it is - but even still, i dunno why it would marke something with a p

[vale hawk]

You should probably go through your list of addons and do some research. It's never a good thing when you don't know what one of your addons is doing

[peak gust]

unless maybe its just telling me its a vendor item because it was garbage compared to my gear

[umbral saddle]

It’s pawn telling you to take that it’s the highest vendoring item to sell

[peak gust]

true, i guess thats my best guess cause i know what the point of all the rest of my addons are for - this pawn addon is new for me - never used something like it before, but i've liked it

[umbral saddle]

Oh rip lol

[peak gust]

helps when questing

[peak gust]

gotchya - cool tyvm

[vale hawk]

Why wouldn't you just look at what has the highest number value 🤔

Oh wait is this another case of my common sense elitism 🤣

[umbral saddle]

If you speed leveling it easier to see the little pawn coin than to hover over 4 items sometimes. Idk I didn’t write the add on I just know it’s probably used to quickly tell you what’s the best selling item if they aren’t upgrades

[vale hawk]

So it's a handholding mechanic

Weird but I get it

[umbral saddle]

I mean. Simplify and not having to look at 4 items and just look for the coin

But I mean yeah it’s not really necessary but it does to the percentage upgrade on items too

[peak gust]

well pawn weighs stat priorities for upgrades - so for example i've had items that were say like ilvl 125 vs my lvl 112 piece and it wasn't a higher upgrade because my piece had haste and critical vs more haste but lose critical for mastery - making it a lesser piece even though it was higher. when you are constantly going through gear as you level, its so much easier for it to just tell you what to choose as a reward and to replace your gear, then having to analyze each piece of gear when really who cares when your lvl 40-50 trying to get to 60

[vale hawk]

I'm specifically talking about the "this is worth more to sell" feature

[peak gust]

ah - its probably telling me that cause it was a lvl 130 gear when i was wering a 184

wearing

[pallid fulcrum]

I think some AH addons have that feature

[red nacelle]

what legendary gear should i make for resto shaman? im pretty new so idk whats the best rn, peopel say to buy stuff from the auction house but idk what to buy

[vale hawk]

What content do you do most? Raiding, dungeons, pvp, or mixed content?

[red nacelle]

ig mixed

people online say they chose different covenants and like no one chose fae so.... idk if that affects my choice

[vale hawk]

You want the Primal Tide Core power that drops from Torghast in the Soulforges (layer 3+), crafted onto Boneshatter Gauntlets of the highest rank you can afford, using Critical Strike and Versatility missives

[red nacelle]

omg finally a straightforward answer

[vale hawk]

Lmao that's how I roll

[red nacelle]

honestly im just going with the flow

people say do whatever suits your playstyle but like i barely know how to play the game

[vale hawk]

That combination will give you the best overall benefit as a resto shaman

I'm a hunter main but resto shaman and mistweaver monk are my go-to healing specs

[red nacelle]

ah ok

alsooooo

the auction house like where is it?

and can i buy that gauntlet and missive there

[vale hawk]

Talk to a guard for directions in your capital city

And yes, that's where you get the runecarving vessels and missives for legendaries unless you're crafting them yourself

[red nacelle]

ok cool

btw the torghast, if im correct soulforges wasn't on for me, but im in a new week now so does it rotate?

[vale hawk]

Yeah, Torghast rotates the two wings every week

[red nacelle]

omg ok tyyyy sooo much

the way i was doing the wrong torghast for 1 hour gaining no soul ash lmao

[peak gust]

pshh you know more than me - i was lost on that conversation lmao

[red nacelle]

theres so much terminoloy in Wow like my head hurtsss

i only wanted to dungeon with my friend lmao

point click adventure

[vale hawk]

If you want a more offensive option for your resto shaman, you could also craft the Deeptremor Stone power onto a Shadowghast Ring vessel, with the same missives. That power drops from Echelon in the Halls of Atonement dungeon @red nacelle

[peak gust]

lol tbh its similar in all mmorpgs - things are so complicated till they become trivial

[vale hawk]

Lmao most mmorpgs are not point and click adventurers

[red nacelle]

lmao not for genshin thoooo

[vale hawk]

If you think WoW is complicated (it really really isn't), then I recommend never trying to play EVE Online

[red nacelle]

pls wow is enoguh grind for me

[vale hawk]

Genshin isn't a true mmorpg and isn't a valid comparison

[red nacelle]

Ik its so different but its so easy to play lmao

like the user friendliness is so braindead its viable for player like me lol

[peak gust]

i dunno how raids are these days - but wow can get pretty deep - like 10-15min boss fights of don't fuck up and do this and that perfectly while doing enough dps

annnnnndddd wipe... restart 7 mins in cause your team fucked up....

alot of other games are like 2-3 min fights

[vale hawk]

Again, it's incredibly subjective

[red nacelle]

i'd someday want to try at least 1 raid in my Wow experience but thats scary

[vale hawk]

They're really really not

Just think of it as a big dungeon with more people and you'll be fine

Besides, you can also use LFR to join individual wings of a raid on the lowest difficulty (and also with the lowest average shared braincell count in your group)

[peak gust]

well tbh thats the way heroics were when i played 10 years ago - these days im noober than shit and dunno what its like. normals were pretty simple - heroics were pretty much for elitest gear and status and satisfaction

[red nacelle]

welp besides raid theres so much content, like my whole side is filled with quest lines and idk what im doing

[vale hawk]

You should take advantage of using the in-game Adventure Guide window to browse through dungeon and raid bosses for easy breakdowns of the mechanics involved

And if you complete the quests you pick up, you won't have an overwhelming quest log

[peak gust]

well this is where you keep getting the "play as you like" answers
you could:

[vale hawk]

Just take things one step at a time and use all of the resources available to you and you'll be fine

[red nacelle]

OMG T-T im getting called out, Its like completeing one quests leads to more quests

😩

[vale hawk]

Just keep at it and one day you'll be questing like Tigtone

[peak gust]

quest
raid
lvl professions
make money in the AH and flipping
you could do dailies
explore old content
do dungeons
do raids
do both of the last 2 causually or do it for serial 😋
you could go acheology
you could go get renowned with some faction because they offer a reward you want

i mean its really any direction you want to go on any particular day

[red nacelle]

yea i mean i def dont wanna get to the point where playing the game seems like a chore rather than fun

[peak gust]

yea don't do that

i fell into that with eso - i ended up becoming one of the biggest material suppliers and it burnt me out

i actually loved leaving because i was just so done - whatever you do - don't get there

[vale hawk]

The best way to avoid that is to just remember that this is a videogame, and as long as you're having fun then you're doing it right

Well, and also making sure that your fun isn't at the expense of the fun of others

[red nacelle]

true

btw what is sanctum of domination cause you use boneshatter gauntlet, but this site says something about using these gears https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/restoration-shaman-pve-healing-gear-best-in-slot

[vale hawk]

Sanctum of Domination is the current raid, and it drops gear with a special slot called a Domination Socket that provides bonuses when equipped with Shards of Domination. You basically don't want to craft a legendary that takes up a slot for gear that would have a Dom socket

[red nacelle]

OHHHHH so thats what they meant

[peak gust]

sometimes you can't help it - like it just kinda happened - i was like oh i want to make gold, started buying/selling things, making connections with people. then found serious suppliers, then suppliers dedicated to me, selling in massive bulks. then would sell on auction houses and to people, and to band pages. then i became so well known i pretty much became a middle man of as fast as i could operate - pick up and pay from suppliers, clear the guild banks, fill all the orders people threw at me, throw extras in the ah, wake up the next day and repeat - spend 6 hrs flipping and flipping - no time to game - and it was like woah... i never imagined myself here - but to top it off i was making so much gold i was making real cash with it after awhile so it just got deeper and deeper, till finally i was like - i can't, i hate this - stopped logging in - loved my life again

[red nacelle]

so thats why you use hands

[vale hawk]

Exactly

[vale hawk]

Yeeeaaah, I just pay for my gametime and fill my Blizzard balance by catching, training, and selling battle pets

[peak gust]

lol

[red nacelle]

so whats the difference between using boneless gauntlet and demigaunts of predestination which is the one they recommended?

is it just stats?

[vale hawk]

There are a lot of factors that go into what's listed as BiS--best in slot--but that doesn't take into account slots occupied by legendaries, and even if you have other gear in other slots

Eventually you should learn how to use raidbots/topgear to sim yourself--running simulations for what gear you have VS changes to gear you get, and what is the best upgrade for you optimally

[red nacelle]

mmm ok

[vale hawk]

https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights

[red nacelle]

i mean can i change my base gear when i make the legendary gear?

[vale hawk]

Basically when you craft your legendary, that's what you're going to keep in that slot

https://tenor.com/bwhNG.gif

[red nacelle]

im jsut scared to invest a lot into making this legendary gear but find out later it can be better

oop

okayyyy

[fathom ingot]

you get to the point where getting rank 4 leggos is the easy part

[vale hawk]

Don't be. Gear is just gear, and eventually it will all be replaced at some point. Legendaries themselves can be upgraded with more soul ash/cinders and a higher rank vessel of the same type

[fathom ingot]

soul ash is infinitely farmable and so is gold, your current investment into a leggo won't be anything major

[vale hawk]

And it's much better to have the best gear you can equip now, VS the possibility of better gear later

[red nacelle]

ah ok ill just go along with your build to make my quality of life rn better

[vale hawk]

Hell, my bags on my main have 8 different legendaries in them each for different situational use

[red nacelle]

purrr ok now when i log back i know what im doing besides from aimlessly walking around doing a quest lmao

[vale hawk]

lol

It's always good to set goals and objectives

After crafting the Primal Tide Core leggo, maybe focus on clearing that quest log

[red nacelle]

when i telll you I was maddddd when i was doing the infinite torghast instead of the correct one ughhhh

[red nacelle]

🙄

[vale hawk]

Don't make the mistake at getting upset over not knowing the right thing. Just take being wrong as a lesson to do more research ahead of time

[red nacelle]

😩

[fathom ingot]

just be a theorycrafter and predict the next bis leggo for 9.1.5

[vale hawk]

Lmao

I can't theorycraft anymore with all of the feelycrafting most people end up doing

Just gets too frustrating

[peak gust]

i'll just throw out there, xpacs are every 2 years - shadowlands is already a year in? so unless your progressing from the beginning, min/maxing the absolute best in slot, it probably won't matter too much

thats my opinion, decent normal raid/craft epics will get you through stuff

but you can always look up best in slot for your toon/spec and it will tell you were it drops and how to get it

[grand hemlock]

any gigachad about to run through the Torghast tower?

[vale hawk]

I mean you can even get to 220 ilvl just by doing Korthia content

[fluid thicket]

can you get level 252 trinkets/rings in the great vault chest?

[analog crown]

Whats the best way to farm renown? I did torgasth 5 but didnt get a renown (im renown 42)

[vale hawk]

Campaign questing, covenant callings, world bosses, and dungeon/raid bosses

[azure reef]

Aslong as you’ve cleared 3 bosses of the mythic raid or a +15 dungeon

[fluid thicket]

okok because i was always unlucky i guess
i never saw an ring or trinket before in the vault chest with 252 ilevel in the 15+ slot

[azure reef]

Yep it’s completely down to luck

[dusty cloud]

what are the best ways to get renown on an alt above ~45?

did a few 15s and only got one renown, did a few torg 12s and didn't get any renown

[vale hawk]

@dusty cloud

[tight elbow]

@KitingisHard#8453 have you been doing the korthia campaign?

[blazing ice]

hey guys, how does one can host a SoD mythic ?

[azure reef]

You invite a bunch of players capable of clearing mythic bosses and set raid difficulty to mythic

[blazing ice]

yep but the thing is I can't set the difficulty to mythic on group creation, even though im level 239

[azure reef]

Are you trying to set it in lfg?

Or as your actual group

[fluid horizon]

You have to select Raids-Shadowlands in order to the raids to pop up

In any other tabs it wont pop up

[formal iron]

Anyone having issues connecting to wow atm?

[stone nova]

There’s maintenance going on I think!

[tight elbow]

Not today

That's tomorrow for NA, Wednesday for EU

[potent iris]

So I'm leveling in wod, should I lock my xp when I get to level 49 or let it take me out of chromie time? I wanna keep doing wod, what would give me the most rewards, leveling 49 chromie time or being out of it? Will I get any xp in that area after level 49?

Will gold be higher at 50 or in chromie time?

[balmy mural]

Is WoW down for anyone else?

[trail scarab]

for me it is

[azure reef]

Seems they are down for US players, idk If they are for EU

[trail scarab]

if it not maintenance does anyone know what it is

[timid niche]

im in US and it is down for me too, the support button doesn't work and it says battle.net is down for maintenance....

[trail scarab]

so it my be the battlenet update then

[timid niche]

forums say wont be back until at least noon...

3pm est...

[balmy mural]

Thanks for the help. I’ll be at one of my courses by the time it’s back up. College life, am I right?

[upbeat hill]

anyone else getting the error wow 51900118 ?

i tried flushdns , restarting , even some of the methods on the internet , nothing seems to work

did they make the maintenance today instead of tomorrow or something ?

[timid niche]

yeah i guess they have that banner that shows scheduled maintenance for tomorrow and then there is a little warning sign with the exclamation mark above near the download manager button that shows the info about maintenance today

[upbeat hill]

oh ? i didn't notice that 😮

oh wow ... i had absolutely no idea , thanks for pointing that out

[jagged shard]

redownload and install wow maybe?

/sarcasm- there is a little alert exclamation on the launcher

[blissful pendant]

is there a channel somewhere for asking a question about how to search for something on wowhead itself but not about the game

[neon cedar]

They had the maintenance noted last week - looked like it was B.net systems rather than WoW but was expected to affect WoW logins

[main crane]

hello guys
I have a problem
I was getting the twilight drake mount and I killed one of them by accident
and I didnt get the mount

[fluid horizon]

Ye that is how it works

if you kill one drake, you wont get the mount

[gilded sandal]

any one able to get in yet?

[nimble pecan]

Haven't been able to log in since 3PM. Probably be the case until 9CEST when the services are finished. Sadge

[gilded sandal]

ofc the only day i have off

[grave osprey]

Playing on EU and i cant login either...but my friends can.

[stone nova]

Woops, could’ve swore I saw some maintenance for Monday. :0

[azure reef]

they are referring to reset maintenance

[rotund rampart]

Are off-hand items limited to specific classes by chance? (not shields). I know shields and weapons can be limited base on class.

[vale hawk]

Unless they're stated as only being equippable by a certain class then AFAIK anyone can equip offhand frills, at least for unlocking appearances

[rotund rampart]

Danke, much appreciation for the explanation.

[timid anchor]

Hey. Me and my friend just paid for a subscription so we can both be in a party; it's been exactly a day now and yet we still can't get into a party. Both of our subscriptions say they're active when we went into our account settings too

[stone nova]

Does it say why you cant get into a party?

[short frost]

probably free account cant xD

worst case they're horde and alliance 😂

[stone nova]

And my own question: So im trying to get the nightborne, and Im at the part where I need to do some dungeons in the city. But besides that, im kinda lost? I tried looking at the wowhead guide but it kinda stops at a point and so now im lost lol

[short frost]

maybew search for a video showing what to do

[stone nova]

me shall try c: i imagine that would be quite a video

[timid anchor]

Yeah, we're both in the horde and it says that we can't invite each other because we're both in free trial, even though I paid for a month and my friend paid over £50

[stone nova]

My advice at this point would to just absolutely verify with a customer support rep on the Blizz site just to make sure, but yeah free trail stuff can be tricky

but it should be okay! <3

[timid anchor]

Okay, thank you so much~!

[stone nova]

ofc! good luck friend!

[pallid fulcrum]

I've been trying to subscribe to wow for half an hour but it's not letting me, I've tried adding and removing payment methods and nothing works, sometimes it even says that payment is complete which is super weird

[vale hawk]

You may wanna try tomorrow. Blizzard has been doing maintenance today and said there may be interruptions to shop services

[pallid fulcrum]

thank you

[pastel socket]

[odd whale]

I need help, please guys I’m level 60 with 217 gear, 58 renown,,, and I still can’t fly ?? What I’m I miss?? Please seriously guy. Help me

[vale hawk]

Have you done the Korthia campaign quest where you rescue the Primus?

You get [Memories of Sunless Skies] as a quest reward from that chapter, which unlocks flying in SL zones except for Korthia, the Maw, and Oribos

[odd whale]

Thank you, I know I need the spell, I just do t know what’re to pick up the quest ?? Is it in orbus ?

[vale hawk]

In Korthia

[fathom ingot]

once you complete the relevant quest, you'll be granted that upon turn in @odd whale

[odd whale]

I think I messed up, I believe it was part of my blue daily’s , and I completed 3 daily and like an idiot, I went to the MAW to complete part of the campaign, and next then I know the three blue quest went from blue ? Makes meaning complete and turned into blue ! With new quests ,, I’m almost positive that was one of the rewards and I did it liken two days ago ,,, I’m so pissed ,,

[vale hawk]

It's not from a daily, it's from a campaign quest

It won't be blue, it'll be almost orange with a shield around it

[fathom ingot]

yeah it's not a daily lol, it's a campaign quest like gumball said

jfc imagine if flying was a rng reward from dailies

[vale hawk]

ifkr

And it's an account-bound item so it's not like you can just accidentally sell it to a vendor

[fathom ingot]

submits to archivist codex for 500 research

[dark geyser]

how tf do i get to silverpine forest from stormwind?

[pallid fulcrum]

Take the Deeprun Tram to Ironforge and walk from there. Silverpine is a Horde questing area, I don't know what you want to do there

[dark geyser]

theres a dungeon quest for my priest

[pallid fulcrum]

Oh. You can ignore it, dungeon quests don't award more exp than regular quests anymore

[dark geyser]

yeah but the gear that it gives is good af

[pallid fulcrum]

That's fair.

[Shadowfang Keep]

[forest lily]

[pallid fulcrum]

From Ironforge, go through Loch Modan, Wetlands and Arathi, then take a left to Hillsbrad

And then keep going left to the dungeon

[dark geyser]

thanks a lot my guy

[pallid fulcrum]

Yw

[vale hawk]

The gear isn't really that great. You'll get better gear just by questing where you're supposed to

[dark geyser]

yeah idk where to quest anymore

i did the night elf area and then the surounding stormwind quests

now im lvl 30 and just running freehold cuz idfk

[vale hawk]

The default questing areas for new players without access to Chromie Time levels 10-50 are the Battle for Azeroth zones of Zandalar for the Horde and Kul Tiras if you're Alliance. You should have been sent there via questing as soon as you left Exile's Reach and got to Stormwind. Otherwise, you can start the questline from next to any Hero's Call board in Stormwind

Just grinding dungeons is also slower exp than questing. You should just be questing in Tirigarde Sound, Drustvar, and Stormsong Valley in Kul Tiras

You'll hit level 50 before even finishing all 3 zones

[dark geyser]

damn

aight imma start that

imma start broken shore cuz why not

[vale hawk]

What?

[dark geyser]

sorry wrote half a message and just pressed enter

[vale hawk]

Do you have Chromie Time? If you're not using Chromie Time, content from other expansion zones will not scale to your level for the sake of leveling 10-50

[dark geyser]

tf is chromie time and i dont have the new expantion

im at 30 anyways

[vale hawk]

Chromie Time scales older expansion content to your level for leveling 10-50. To gain access to Chromie Time, you have to have leveled a character to 50 at least once already

[dark geyser]

still havent

so no

[vale hawk]

So, just focus on questing in Tirigarde Sound, Drustvar, and Stormsong Valley

[dark geyser]

aight

thanks

[vale hawk]

Yeah that's why I typed it the first time lol

[north pine]

M+, pvp, raiding, mount collecting,goldmaking, these are all options, or you could progress in the 9.1 campign if you have done your cov campaign

For the m+ part, m+ dungeons are harder versions of a mythic dungeon(bosses deal more dmg, they have more health etc) and the difficulty scales with the higher keystone you have.
You get one by doing a normal m dungeon@twin sedge

https://www.wowhead.com/mythic-keystones-and-dungeons-guide

This guide should cover everything you have to know about m+ dungeons

[heady crystal]

anyone know how to spawn this guy? already got lvl 2 Trading Post https://www.wowhead.com/npc=86698/kilrip

[atomic drum]

how do i get out of zandalar? Been stuck there for a day. i'm a lvl 14 warlock, undead trying to get into mount farming!

[rotund rampart]

Use the portal in the room you originally came into.

Ya know, directly below where the King is.

[umbral saddle]

i'd worry about leveling first before mount farming tho

[atomic drum]

oh there? okay imma go check it out thanks! and yee i will lvl as much as i can im doin that rn but i've done most quests (i can find) in zandalar!

[rotund rampart]

He might not have a mount yet is the thing, so they probably meant to go get your first mount.

[atomic drum]

i've got my first mount, red horse kindof i think hold on

[tight elbow]

Are you a new player?

[atomic drum]

yes

very new, built my first pc ever last friday!

[tight elbow]

You have to level in zuldazar

[atomic drum]

is that still in zandalar?

oh

[tight elbow]

You can't mount farm until max lvl

[atomic drum]

ohh well alright! so i stay in zandalar for now and farm xp then i guess?

[tight elbow]

Yep

Do quests

[atomic drum]

Yes, thank you! any bosses or raids i can do now ti get one new mount?

to*

[rotund rampart]

Probably not, especially no raids. Last I check, raids are end-game stuff.

At least that is what I am use to.

[tight elbow]

No

[atomic drum]

okay! thanks! will try to do as many quests as i can find! is there anywhere in zandalar i can find a new mount..? 🙂

[rotund rampart]

Just focusing on doing quests and leveling. Get mounts later.

[atomic drum]

ok thank you guys!

[vale hawk]

You'll hit level 50 before you even finish all three zones questing in Zandalar. You have Zuldazar, Nazmir, and Vol'dun to go through. There's no need to "farm exp" because you'll have plenty of quests available

But like they said--stop focusing on getting mounts and focus on leveling first. The mounts will come

[cobalt rune]

anyone know if the winds of winter dmg from the 3 piece domination only does dmg in melee range or does it also do dmg if youre ranged

[stone nova]

how to skip starting zones forever /j

[upbeat hill]

oh damn ... the addons right now are going nuts , no wow for me tonight untill all addons updated

[inland panther]

anyone know how to fix my game going from loading, then i appear in game, then a millisecond after it goes back to loading screen and repeating?

[wheat inlet]

sounds like an addon issue, disable them all from the character screen

[potent iris]

Is there a lot of people still playing classic or has everyone moved onto bc classic?

[pseudo laurel]

Is 9.1.5 on the test server yet?

[fluid notch]

Hello all. When does Binkiros appear in Elysian hold? I have finished the first campaign, but my renown level is 2. Does that have to be higher? Thanks

[fluid horizon]

A lot of ppl moved to tbc classic, but there should be some servers that are still plaing classic

[fickle dew]

should i renew my wow subscription
i havent played in a month
people say wow is dying and that its a shit game
and its just gonna get worse

[polar wasp]

I mean,do you have fun in wow.
The "people say" is because blizzard as a company has been very much done a lot of bad decisions in the last years

So peoples faith in them is depleted,however,if you still have fun on wow,no one can stop you from playing the game

[stone nova]

those people always come back. you probably shouldnt listen to people and actually just play it for yourself. everyone has a bias

i personally adore it but others may not

[fickle dew]

I just dont want to waste my money

If its going to die for certain I wont play it

[stone nova]

and wow isnt dying, people are just upset because of a lawsuit going on - and tbh its just a phase, theyve had worse times and always jump back

it wont lol, its been going on for years and gets updates often

[fickle dew]

Btw im talking about classic wow

Not retail

I should mention that

I was asking if tbc classic was dying

[stone nova]

i play retail so tbh im not like, knowledgeable with classic. but ive heard a lot of people are getting back into classic and that classic gets regular updates but like i said idk anything w/ classic stuff

[fickle dew]

is retail any fun?

[stone nova]

personally i would say yes, theres a lot more to it than classic (from an eagle pov, like i said ive never actually played classic). Some people dont like this expansion, I think its really interesting and one of their best yet. But everyone has differing opinions. But with retail, the opportunities are endless with what you can do I personally think

[fickle dew]

are you horde or alliance

[stone nova]

both

[fickle dew]

pandarin?

[stone nova]

i have one but i dont play her too often, shes in pandaria rn and a lvl 25 me thinks

[fickle dew]

actually nvm i dont think ill play retail

pandarin and the wolf race annoy me so much

[stone nova]

worgens lol, but they arent the only race in retail. idk for sure but i think retail has like 5x more races than classic does

but yea its your choice

[fickle dew]

also

do wow subscriptions ever go on discount?

[stone nova]

yeth, i got mine on a discount

well

like most subscriptions, the more months you pay for, the cheaper it'll be

[fickle dew]

no i meant

im probably gonna buy 1 month to see if the game really is dying as people say it is

or if i like it

it would be nice if i got it for a discount since its pretty expensive where i live

[stone nova]

The game isnt dying, but if youre so worried, then I would get a class trail instead, rather than paying a month

but no the subs arent on sale, but the expansions go on sale

[fickle dew]

wdym class trail

[stone nova]

oops i mean the trial periods

[fickle dew]

there is no trial period for classic

[stone nova]

i thought you were asking about retail now

[fickle dew]

nah

as i said i probably will never play retail

iill see

maybe

[stone nova]

yeah it doesnt look like classic has a trial :/

[potent bridge]

guys please help

[stone nova]

yes?

[potent bridge]

this mission stabilizing suramar

im doing quests and its not updating

i did like 8 or 9 and its still 0/10

[stone nova]

have you already rebooted the game and logged out

[potent bridge]

no?

[stone nova]

log out and make sure to close your window, then reboot it

[potent bridge]

okaty

i will try

didnt woprk

[fluid horizon]

did you do world quests or did you just do normal ones?

[potent bridge]

world like all around suramar

[fluid horizon]

Then it should be updating, i would try to abandon and reaccuire the quest, and try to do it another day

[potent bridge]

and if it doesnt work?

do i contact blizzard tech support?

[fluid horizon]

If it doesnt work you should submit a ticket

[potent bridge]

okay thank you guys

[fluid horizon]

np

[potent bridge]

abandoning the quest and reactivating didn't work :(

[stone nova]

yeah i would just submit a help ticket then'

[fluid horizon]

If you abandon a quest and reaquire it, you will lose your progress so you have to wait till tomorrow to check if the quest really is bugged or reaccuiring worked, or if you have a suramar wq you can check today

[tight elbow]

No, tbc is not dying

[tight elbow]

Yikes

[fathom ingot]

Slander against pandas? Unacceptable

[tight elbow]

☝️

[potent bridge]

what does "WQ" mean

?

oh wait

nvm

world quest duh

[pallid fulcrum]

I'm new to tanking and I was wondering if there's any useful addons that relate to interrupts, specifically something like GTFO but instead of screaming at me, more like hey dipshit, this enemy is about to do something really annoying, you should probably headbutt it

[azure reef]

good nameplate profiles can help alot (like plater)

and for party/interrupt trackers i just use omnicd and weakauras

[pallid fulcrum]

Thank you

[azure reef]

i use Quaziis plater profile which is very useful for tracking debuffs on adds, big scary casts and dispells

you can still find it on his website

[bronze temple]

Hi guys! So, I’m curious as to how WoW works (honestly wanted to play it for a LONG time just never got into mmorpgs until recently). Do I pay for the base game and just buy expansions from there?

[azure reef]

the subscription pays for all content up to level 50, including every expansions excluding the most recent

then you pay for the newest expansion

[umbral saddle]

buy base game and then you have to buy current expansion, its a monthly sub to gain access to the servers to play.

[vale hawk]

https://www.wowhead.com/guide=3367/world-of-warcraft-for-new-players

This'll basically explain it for you

[bronze temple]

Ah ok so I pay for the subscription, get access to the game and it’s expansions up until the recent ones. I get the ability to play up until a certain level cap and then I have to buy the current expansion to get the full level cap

[vale hawk]

And current endgame content, yes

[bronze temple]

Ok! What level can I level my character up to until I have to buy current version

[vale hawk]

50

The default leveling path for new players 10-50 will be in the most recent Battle of Azeroth expansion zones of Kul Tiras and Zandalar, which you'll be taken to after leaving the Exile's Reach tutorial island zone as long as you follow along with the tutorial questing and don't get distracted by the myriad of breadcrumb quests once you get to your faction's capital city for the first time. Leveling in these zones will provide you with the most current styles of gameplay and story before starting the Shadowlands expansion content

[stray frost]

Would anybody like to help me get the Shimmermist Mount? I'm having trouble solo-ing the elite

[fluid notch]

Asking again; When does Binkiros appear in Elysian hold?

[pallid fulcrum]

[Binkiros]

[forest lily]

Binkiros - https://www.wowhead.com/npc=171973/binkiros - Live 9.1.0

Binkiros

Live 9.1.0

[pallid fulcrum]

@fluid notch

You also need to have the covenant thing done.

The Ascended Arena or whatever it was called.

[fluid notch]

Ah, that's what I was missing. Thanks a mil!

[atomic drum]

Where do i or how do i repair my weapon/armor?

[pallid fulcrum]

Any vendor that turns your cursor into an anvil can repair your armor

[atomic drum]

okok, where can i find one?? i'm in ogrimmar

[pallid fulcrum]

I suggest marking them on your minimap with the magnifying glass next to it

Top right corner

[atomic drum]

okay thanks! found a guard wich shows u where to go, it says vendor so i'll try it out! Thank you!

[pallid fulcrum]

Yw

[glad trout]

hi, my quest markers have disappeared does anyone know how to solve this?

[stone nova]

It is possibly due to you either being too low level or high level in that area

[glad trout]

well I am level 60 in revendreth doing the covenant campaign

[stone nova]

Ohh okay

Umm, lemme try sumthin, click on the little magnifying class next to the map

[glad trout]

i did the quest but there is no marker for where I should hand it in

[stone nova]

What’s the quest?

[glad trout]

Common Ground

thanks btw

[stone nova]

Okie lemme look into this

[glad trout]

this is not normal right

i stumbled upon the hand in place btw

[stone nova]

Which part are you saying isn’t normal?

[glad trout]

there being no markers like before

nor on the map

[stone nova]

You mean the numbers that you can click on, and track where it is?

[glad trout]

yes they dont seem to be there

[stone nova]

So I’ve learned in my experience, that happens when I’m really far from where they’re taking place

So that bastion quest, would only be able to track if you’re in bastion I think

[glad trout]

hmm but it never shows up, none of them do

[stone nova]

Even if you’re in the area,

?

[glad trout]

yes :(

[stone nova]

Okie lemme look

[stiff rose]

How do you skip the campaign on a alt?

[fluid horizon]

which one ?

[stiff rose]

maldraxxus

cuz im at draka rn

[fluid horizon]

Do you mean the covenant campiagn?

[stiff rose]

getting my cov abilties again

ye

[fluid horizon]

You cant skip the covenant campaign yet

[stone nova]

Yeh I don’t think they released that yet

[stiff rose]

you cant skip the first covenant campaign?

like i just hit 60

i wanna jump into korthia

[fluid horizon]

You can skip none

[stiff rose]

not do the old campaign over again

the art of war one

[fluid horizon]

Sadly you have to do the campaign again

They are changing it next patch tho

but it will be live maybe in a few weeks

[stiff rose]

so you gotta do the first campaign and then you can do korthia?

[fluid horizon]

You need to do the campaign+have renown 45 to be able to get flying from the korthia chapters

[stiff rose]

bruh

[fluid horizon]

But im not sure about if you need anything to start the campaign

[stiff rose]

i already have flying

im on a alt

[fluid horizon]

i see

[stiff rose]

cuz one of my friends went into korthia instantly

without having to do first campaign

only korthia campaign

[fluid horizon]

Im not sure if you need anything to start the korthia campaign

So if you check out a guide

You will find the starting quest to your Korthian adventures

[stiff rose]

dunno

shit game 4 sure

[fluid horizon]

It got a lil complicated

Starting the Chains of Domination Questline
You start the Patch 9.1 questline with the quest The First Move, which should be in your questlog as you log in after Chains of Domination launch. The quest takes you to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon in Oribos and plays the Kingsmourne cinematic, explaining what happened with the Archon. You can check the cinematic below. After completing the quest, characters continue the quest by heading to The Maw and doing the introduction quests to Korthia.

This is what wowhead says

You should look for the quest in oribos, if you dont find it

Try waiting a lil longer, maybe someone who remembers will be able to help you out

[stone nova]

It’s not really a shit game just because you can’t skip a campaign, when they haven’t implement that yet

[fluid horizon]

Here is the full article for you @stiff rose

https://ptr.wowhead.com/news/how-to-unlock-korthia-in-patch-9-1-quest-requirement-and-quest-skips-322968

[jagged shard]

if you think that this is bad, you're in for a real treat ahead

[vale hawk]

First, make sure you're in the zone for that quest. Second, try typing /reload into the chatbox

[potent iris]

How long do ptr patches take to drop on retail usually

Like 9.1.5? Is that soon or like a year away?

[stone nova]

Shouldn’t be a year away

I would say maybe a week or two :0

[potent iris]

Ah cool

I'm waiting for some of those changes

[stone nova]

Yeah I’m excited for the character customization stuff

[atomic drum]

how do you earn the secret in the sands achievement? I would really like vulpera!

[stone nova]

Just follow the quest line from the Vulpera, your final thing should be a killing a Blood troll

[atomic drum]

which quest line? i don't understand

[stone nova]

You need to go to Zuldazar and go to their region map in the capital, and go to Vulpera land

Then you can start the quest line

Iirc

[atomic drum]

oh alright! that's in zandalar right?

[stone nova]

Yup yup

[atomic drum]

okokk i'm in zuldazar now, right beneath where the king is sitting. where should i go? looking at the map, there is like zanchul, the zocalo and terrace of crafters?

[stone nova]

Hmm hold on

[atomic drum]

ok!

[stone nova]

Do you not see Vol’Dun on the scouting map?

[atomic drum]

i recognize it but it's not on the map

[stone nova]

Do you mean the map map or the scouting map?

[atomic drum]

map map i think..?

i mean it says at the top, map and quest log

[stone nova]

Okay so

[atomic drum]

ohoh i found it on the map

just dunno how to get there

[stone nova]

If you’re in like the main castle, with the portals and stuff, there should be a scouting map: an item, on the upstairs on the main level

I think there’s an NPC standing next to it

On the scouting map, you should see voldun

[atomic drum]

ok so like beside the king?

[stone nova]

No I think he’s on a different level

Hold on

[atomic drum]

ok!

[fluid horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k_QwxGSlbo

Check this video out @atomic drum

[atomic drum]

will do in a sec, thank you! 🙂 just gotta see what germanic nordic says!

[stone nova]

Are you at the great seel?

[atomic drum]

hold on

the goldenc throne

[fluid horizon]

This video exactly shows where to start the chain

[atomic drum]

great!

[stone nova]

Yeah I would just follow the video, the scouting map should be at the seal

[fluid horizon]

You will recognize the place

[atomic drum]

okay! thank you both very much!

[fluid horizon]

The quests start at 02:04

[tight elbow]

About 2 to 3 months usually

@potent iris

[atomic drum]

umm there is no option for me to press that area on the scouting map

have already been in zandalar quite alot, i'm a new player, lvl 19 warlock, but i don't know if that will affect the quest?

[stone nova]

Is it like greyed out or?

[atomic drum]

noo just no option to click on it

or like, i'm clicking on it but there is no like questionmark like in the video

[stone nova]

I think you may have to be level 35 to start it? Unsure

[atomic drum]

oh okay that could make sence..

i'll just keep leveling!

any quick ways in specificly zandalar to level up?

[fluid horizon]

Do the quests

That is the fastest way as a dps

[atomic drum]

i'll try to find other one's lol, i've made most of em in the big city

[fluid horizon]

You should follow the quest that you were given when you enter zandalar

[atomic drum]

i've done those

[stone nova]

It’s a pretty big region so you should have a lot to do
