wow-help

[quick flint]

anyone know how to fix this

[hallow bolt]

Try ElvUI. It's a complete overhaul of the UI with some added Quality of Life features like auto-sell trash, auto-repair, interrupt announces, etc

I've setup my ElvUI to look like this: '

[fervent bone]

Elvui is a lot of configuration

I wouldnt recommend it for starters since it's base is worse than the standard ui (imo)

Id recommend a weakaura pack for MM hunter though

[velvet sparrow]

The base elvui is so much better than default blizz ui

[fervent bone]

I really stronly dislike it but each to their own i suppose

[hallow bolt]

I prefer it over the default UI as well, and I'd argue that it works really quite well without any configuration whatsoever

[brave falcon]

hi guys i wanna start playing wow but i dont know what to pick can you guys help me? (im looking for a spell caster that deals a lot of damage)

[fluid horizon]

Every spellcaster can deal a lot of dmg, so choose any

[brave falcon]

the mages just got nerfed so i dont know who to pick

[fluid horizon]

Nerfs and buffs dont really matter, especially if it is your first char

They will be viable after the nerfs too

[vocal dew]

shadow priest

u just apply ur dots

and ur set

[brave falcon]

2LR3KG

my friend is shadow priest so i cant pick that one

[azure reef]

warlock, balance druid, warlock all do very good damage

sll specs are in a good spot so play what you think is cool

[fervent bone]

Mages are really good even they they got tuned down

They offer so much variance in specs but also excellent defensives and offensive abilities all around the board

[reef whale]

hey Im just returning after not playing for a while and Im looking to level a healer, Im stuck between monk an priest any advise as to which I should pick?

[azure reef]

personally i prefer mistweaver, but priest having 2 healing specs and more utility helps

[pallid fulcrum]

when is the next expansion coming out beacuse i dont know is it worth to buy shadowlands

[velvet sparrow]

It hasn't even been announced yet

[wild harbor]

does this game make you very addicted because my friend's parents have a lot of doubts about whether he should have it or not?

if you see this please response. it would be very helpful.

[umbral saddle]

i think it more or less depends on your personality than the game, anything can become addictive its just if you have the will power to limit yourself or not

[wild harbor]

ok thanks

🙂

👍

[brazen pasture]

im playing as a marksmanship hunter and i got some ablilty that makes me do hundreds of damage with each hit, which is fine but i cant complete some quests that needs me to weaken the enemy can someone help?

[short frost]

you can dismiss your pet or unequip your gear to reduce the damage you do

[charred fable]

Can someone help me with a boss pls?

[short frost]

usually not

[loud geode]

For how much is order status pending? Can't do anything cause my account "is" still Free Trial

[spare oar]

up to 72 hours

it says so when you purchase stuff

[loud geode]

...

[spare oar]

it mainly depends on your bank

[loud geode]

Went with paypal

[jaunty tiger]

is there a tool that can tell me "if you complete a 'XY' Necrotic Wake in time, your M+ rating will be 'ABC' "?

[grand jewel]

did anyone else not get the new shop mount?

i have an active 6m sub

i got my murloc shells instanty last time

[fluid horizon]

It happens, you will get it eventually, dont worry

[gray shadow]

Anyone want to play im a new player on Silvermoon EU

[pulsar lodge]

question guys is it still worth crafting Legendary armor?

I'm on Korthia and I'm just wondering if its better to just lvl up the Korthia gear or make the Legendary gear?

[white mural]

Legendary gear has extra effects regular gear doesn't. You'd want one, even if it's only ilvl 190.

Some legendaries affect your gameplay in great ways. Like Execute stacking Mortal Strike damage, or Mortal Strike applying the Collosus Smash effect randomly.

They're powerful effects. No point in missing out.

You can also only wear one. You can sacrifice a slot that doesn't give many stats for a legendary if it's low ilvl, but you'd want the high ilvl one for a slot with good stats.

[pulsar lodge]

so you can only wear one piece of legendary gear huh?

[white mural]

Currently, yes. Next patch you can get a belt with your covenant power.

[pulsar lodge]

is it quest related?

[white mural]

Like Spear of Bastion increasing your crit damage by 25% when near it. They're good.

[pulsar lodge]

like that ring you had to make back in WoD?

[white mural]

I think they were on a reputation grind a while ago, but that changed.

I'll have to check back with you.

If anything, get the covenant power but don't make a legendary item using it.

[pulsar lodge]

but basically you can only have one piece of Legendary gear equipped

[white mural]

This patch, yes.

Next patch, a legendary of your choosing and a belt.

[pulsar lodge]

we get the legendary through a quest or you have to craft it?

[azure reef]

youll still want your best legendary that isnt your covenent one crafted on a slot your set isnt on

[white mural]

You get a white item from the auction house, whichever slot you want, buy two missives for the stats you want, and then get the power to the Runecrafter in Torghast.

And you craft it there.

If you want to craft your own legendary, that's another matter. You need to level up a profession.

[azure reef]

and spend an ungodly amount of time or gold

so not worth this late in the expansion

[pulsar lodge]

well I'm a Hunter and I had skinning and enchanting for awhile

[white mural]

I'd drop skinning and pick a secondary production profession.

Skinning does nothing as an enchanter.

You just sell the mats and that's it.

[pulsar lodge]

I picked up Leatherworking and unlocked legendary gear

[white mural]

That's great.

[pulsar lodge]

but now your telling me its not worth doing at this point

[white mural]

Yeah, you can just buy the items on the Auction House. They must've gotten cheaper.

[azure reef]

they are not worth grinding to craft yourself mainly for the gold and time sink required to get rank 6

[white mural]

And unless you plan to sell them, too.

You can make a decent sum by undercutting bots.

[azure reef]

ye dont undercut

[pulsar lodge]

so what do you suggest

I want to make money while I'm questing

[white mural]

Level an alt through Legion. Stonks.

Legion gives you a lot of trash quality items and BoEs.

[pulsar lodge]

BoE's?

[white mural]

And when you reach level 60, do the callings every three days.

Bind of Equip.

Not soulbound until you put them on.

It's actually quite simple, making gold. You just need to know what to sell and what to farm.

For example, everyone likes potions. Everyone likes flasks. Everyone likes Shrouded Cloth stacks.

[pulsar lodge]

god I'm confused

[white mural]

Just sell them on the Auction House for whatever price.

How much gold do you have right now?

[pulsar lodge]

I mainly want to know about Legendary Gear your saying at this point it is NOT worth grinding to craft my own

[azure reef]

its not worth it

[white mural]

It is not.

[pulsar lodge]

because next expansion we get a free Legendary and we also get a special belt

[white mural]

Next patch*

[pulsar lodge]

patch srry

[white mural]

And it's not completely free. You still have to work for it.

Just... Less.

[pulsar lodge]

well you always do

[white mural]

The belt is the free legendary you're speaking of.

[pulsar lodge]

it sounds like the ring you had to grind Apexis crystals to upgrade

[azure reef]

and youll still need a normal legendary to pair with it. since we can use a normal legendary and a covenent legendary in tandem

the belt you get next season will be the covenent legendary

kind of a pain and a good amount of gold needed tbh

[white mural]

Yeah, you'd be lucky to get a 235 legendary for less than 30k.

[pulsar lodge]

so the normal legendary your saying I should BUY in the AH correct? and in the meantime use professions to make money?

[azure reef]

each rank 6 on my realm is between 60-100k

ye

[white mural]

Precisely. Farm gold, buy shiny item, use it till it's useless.

[azure reef]

there will probably be guides going out for each class/spec soon about what legendaries to make and where in prep for next patch

since theres set bonuses. new legendary and youre legendaries are stuck to only a few slots

which makes it pretty awkward

[white mural]

Or, if you don't want the whole ordeal to be a headache, you can just focus on PvP gear and get the legendary when it suits you.

[pulsar lodge]

well I'm looking and it looks like the enchanted stuff sells the best the Leather in particular is about 850g apiece

[formal stone]

Hi guys, how i can filter Npc sellers / vendors / merchant with wowhead filter?

gotya

[pulsar lodge]

basically it looks like I should drop Leatherworking an pick up skinning because the Enchanted Callous Hide sells for 850g a piece

500g srry

question though Elethium do you just need Mining to get it?

can anyone tell me?

[white mural]

Mining or alchemy.

[pulsar lodge]

when does the next patch drop?

[white mural]

We don't know yet.

[pulsar lodge]

dam

[white mural]

Probably late February, seeing as so much 9.2 datamining stuff is out.

That's just my hunch.

Maybe even early March.

[raw ridge]

non 6 month sub people:

do you get it if you have an active sub?

[umbral saddle]

if its a 6 month sub

[white mural]

Wrong channel, but accurate. Also, 240p

But yeah, spending a lot of money for a mount and a sub. Kudos to the art team, it's a cool rig for a cat model we've seen a thousand times.

The 6 months sub is also a good way to keep an active playerbase, but it also basically says "We don't have the next patch done. Play six months until we're done."

And then they do it again.

And guess what? Nothing will change.

[umbral saddle]

tbf its a smart move to keep people subbed for half a year

[peak solar]

guys i just beat the dragon guy in wow and i got a decreptic dragonscale drape is it worth anything?

im new to the game so im not really sure

it says if i wear it im not allowed to trade it

[pulsar lodge]

like new new?

[peak solar]

yes

super new

[pulsar lodge]

well first welcome to WoW

[peak solar]

just started today

[peak solar]

thanks 😃

[pulsar lodge]

also when you say dragon guy who do you mean

[peak solar]

shit i forgot its namer

[pulsar lodge]

whats your lvl?

[peak solar]

Gor'groth i think is its name

[peak solar]

9

[pulsar lodge]

yeah it was probably dropped by Ravnyr

[peak solar]

yes yes

ravnyr

thats the name

[white mural]

[Decreptic Dragonscale Drape]

Hm.

Interesting, the bot has nothing.

What's its item level?

[pulsar lodge]

where are you at?

[peak solar]

12

[pulsar lodge]

no I mean what zone

[white mural]

Item level 12, you're probably in Zandalar or Kul Tiras, if you haven't gotten out of the starting zone.

Oh, in the starting dungeon.

[peak solar]

yeah in there

it told me to like find a group or something

[white mural]

Talk to the NPC.

She glows.

[pulsar lodge]

I can tell you right now if your interested in addons a good one is Pawn it always helps you gear up

[peak solar]

alright

[white mural]

Don't burden them with add-ons yet.

[pulsar lodge]

it lets you know if a piece of gear is better than what your wearing

[peak solar]

wait so is the thing like worth anything?

[white mural]

Until you replace it.

Talk to the NPC, get to Orgrimmar and start the next part of your adventure in Zandalar.

[peak solar]

alright so do you think i should equipped it or save it for trades?

[white mural]

Did you purchase a subscription yet?

You can't trade items that have Soulbound on it.

Only Bind on Equipped.

[peak solar]

no i will be soon since im really enjoying the game right now

[white mural]

Get to level 20, that's the trial level cap.

[pulsar lodge]

well for now just find the class you want to be

[peak solar]

yeah im gonna play up till there then buy the game

[white mural]

It says Soulbound. It means you can't trade it, since the people in your group left.

So, just equip it.

[peak solar]

oh ok so i might as well equp it

[peak solar]

alright thanks

[peak solar]

what do you mean?

[white mural]

You're a mage, right?

[peak solar]

yup

[white mural]

They meant you can try other classes for free.

[peak solar]

oh alright

[white mural]

Until you find one you really like.

[pulsar lodge]

well if your new and your not a subbed player yet just take your time with finding what class you want to be

[peak solar]

alright ill do that

im really liking mage right now

[pallid fulcrum]

Im a wolf man

[pulsar lodge]

every class has its pros and cons and some people like to be in different places during battle

[white mural]

I highly suggest warriors and monks for melee, burst and AoE, and rogues for stealth gameplay.

Dio here is a worgen rogue.

[peak solar]

alright ill give it a shot

[pulsar lodge]

you won't be able to be a DK or a DH until you have a lvl 50 character I think now

[pallid fulcrum]

Can someone hop on call with me while playing preferably new so i dont get bored?

[pulsar lodge]

personally I've been thinking of restarting on a new toon myself I was using an old toon to just get back into the swing of things after being gone for a few months

[white mural]

You can use shift/ctrl left click to move something off your action bar. You have two Crimson Vials.

Don't need two.

[peak solar]

whats the difference between them

also is it possible ot change my characters name

[pulsar lodge]

DK is basically a warrior with magic

[white mural]

It's possible, but not worth it at such low level.

[pallid fulcrum]

Cheers

[peak solar]

oh it costs money?

[pulsar lodge]

and DH is like a monk with different skills

[white mural]

Like $10.

[peak solar]

oh alright thanks

[peak solar]

oh wow ill just stick to my current name haha

thank you guys by the way

i appreciate it

[pulsar lodge]

np

[white mural]

Or make a new character, getting to level 10 only takes like half an hour.

Even less if you skip everything.

[peak solar]

this is what it keeps saying when i try to equip it

are you sure i cant trade it?

[peak solar]

yeah it realyl didnt take me that long

[pulsar lodge]

if your brand new I suggest either doing the classic areas or doing Legion

at least when you subscribe

[peak solar]

yeah ill be doing that

[pulsar lodge]

I'm trying to decide what server to start over on

[daring shard]

yo, my blizzard got hacked but i never set up an ID in the first place so when they ask for one idk what to do

[reef whale]

what healers are most sought after for raids/mythic+ content rn?

[white mural]

They can only pick BfA until at least one character is level 50.

Picking Legion or Classic is a no-go.

[peak solar]

i know this may be a dumb question

but how do i use the items at the top

[peak solar]

please anyone?

[white mural]

Sorry, I was busy. That's the ctrl row, but I advise you to check the keybinds menu and change them to other keys.

Such as E, R, T, F, G, Q, others.

My top row is changed to Shift+1-7

You can also take abilities off your bar using either shift or ctrl, I can't recall which one is default.

In any case, check your settings.

You can even use some more obscure keybinds like shift+space.

[peak solar]

im try to press ctrl+1-7 but nothings happening

[white mural]

Maybe it's not default controls. Interesting.

[white mural]

Oh, oof. It's shift+F1-F7

Ctrl*

Not shift.

That's cringe. I'd change that.

[peak solar]

bruh still not working

[peak solar]

yeah i might as well

since its nto wroking

[white mural]

I corrected myself and said ctrl+F1.

Sorry.

[peak solar]

yeah i saw and tried that

[white mural]

Yeah, change them.

I'd say shift+1-0

[peak solar]

alright wait lemme try and see if it works

[white mural]

But also remember you can use Q, E, R, T, F, G, V, and others.

[peak solar]

wait its the special action button right?

[peak solar]

oh those keys are free?

[white mural]

Oh, go to multi action bar.

That was my bad.

[peak solar]

ohh

they are all unbinded

no wonder wow

[white mural]

I should have paid closer attention, I'm on my phone.

[peak solar]

no its all good

thank you so much

it works now

[white mural]

Okay, great! Happy leveling. If you need more help, ping me.

I'll answer as soon as I can.

[peak solar]

alright thank you so much

[pulsar lodge]

you'll be happy to know I just got the same cape you did

[white mural]

That's wholesome. If one of you had a subscription, you could invite the other and level together.

There's this Level Sync thing, so you can even repeat quests your friend hasn't done.

[peak solar]

wait what so its like game sharing (like on consoles) but except its for world of warcraft

[peak solar]

the one from the dragon?

[umbral saddle]

naw, you can just party together and quest but if you're a trial account you can send invites

[white mural]

It's simply partying up and doing stuff together. But you need an active subscription for it.

[peak solar]

that’s so good

[white mural]

Otherwise, it's randoms.

[peak solar]

oh ok

so if i have the trial

and a friend has the suvscurption we can basically play together

[white mural]

You can only party up through group finder as trial.

Or if you get invited by someone with a subscription.

[pulsar lodge]

yeah

[peak solar]

ohh alright thanks

[peak solar]

is it even good?

[pulsar lodge]

it is

[white mural]

So if both of you decide to get a sub, you can play together.

[peak solar]

it looked rare for me because im new

[white mural]

Oh, blue items are more common than you think.

[pulsar lodge]

I told you I have the Pawn addon which tells you when a piece of gear is better than what you have on

[peak solar]

oh rythe dosent have a subscriptiob?

[white mural]

Just wait till you get the purples.

I don't know. Do they?

[peak solar]

oh alright

[pulsar lodge]

I have a 6 month Subscription

[peak solar]

what colors the rarest

[peak solar]

yeah thats what im gonna get when i reach level 20

[white mural]

Orange. It's legendaries.

[pulsar lodge]

it goes white=green=blue=purple=orange

common to legendary

[white mural]

Well...

[peak solar]

ah ok

[white mural]

Grey-white-green-blue-purple-orange.

[peak solar]

wow i went from level 1-13

[pulsar lodge]

oh yeah grey

[white mural]

But nobody uses Grey items.

[pulsar lodge]

but grey is crap

u can't even disenchant grey stuff

[peak solar]

i cant even tell the difference between geay and white

[pulsar lodge]

gray is just crap

[white mural]

There's also artifacts which are brownish, and heirlooms which are aqua.

[peak solar]

how long have tou guys been playibg for?

[white mural]

[Spear of Rethu]

[forest lily]

Spear of Rethu - https://www.wowhead.com/item=131733/spear-of-rethu - Live 9.1.5

Spear of Rethu

Live 9.1.5

[white mural]

This is a heirloom quality.

[pulsar lodge]

I've been playing on and off since BC

[peak solar]

is that the best

[white mural]

No.

Best for leveling, yes. But not max level content.

[pulsar lodge]

Heirlooms just give xp boost and lvl with you

[white mural]

The game really starts at max level.

[peak solar]

oh ok

[peak solar]

what do you mean?

[pulsar lodge]

you won't be able to get that stuff because it cost a decent bit of gold

[white mural]

Most of, and some of the best content, is at max level.

The raids, mythic+ dungeons, PvP, story.

[peak solar]

wair when i reach max level jz there no more quests?

[pulsar lodge]

btw Bad Apple when it comes to stuff from the newbie dungeon can you wear 2 of the same blue rings and trinkets or only one?

[white mural]

They're unique equipped, so no.

At least I'm pretty sure.

You can try it, but I don't think it works.

[pulsar lodge]

well I'm still trying to get the trinket

[peak solar]

guys is there no more quests after you reach max level?

[pulsar lodge]

only thing I haven't gotten and I'm trying to decide on my profession I'm seriously thinking of making my Worgen Rogue an Outlaw

[white mural]

There are even more quests. The whole game opens up, but it's only worth doing max level quests.

[pulsar lodge]

the shadowlands story is actually pretty dam good

[white mural]

Outlaw Rogue is the simplest of the three, but also the most reliant on luck.

RNG is what puts most people off.

[pulsar lodge]

yeah but Outlaw is very Pirate like and

[white mural]

First you have the Pistol Shot procs. Then you have the Roll the Bones proc. Then you have the mastery: Main Gauche proc. It's too much luck, and most people don't like it.

[pulsar lodge]

pretty dam cool

[white mural]

Go ahead. Roll that dice.

[pulsar lodge]

I mean imagine a Pirate Worgen

[white mural]

Yeah. Enter warmode, use Death From Above and you're basically a werewolf pirate ninja, if you use katana transmogs.

Imagine making that a Dungeons and Dragons character.

[pulsar lodge]

I don't think Death from above is a Outlaw talent

[white mural]

PvP talent.

[Death From Above]

[forest lily]

Death from Above - https://www.wowhead.com/spell=152150/death-from-above - Live 9.1.5

Death from Above

Live 9.1.5

[pulsar lodge]

yeah I found it

used to be an actual spell but I think they made it PvP talent

[white mural]

It was pretty good for subtlety back in Legion.

Very hard hitting. Would one shot people.

Subtlety finishers scale with mastery, so I would just mastery stack and one shot people.

That was in world PvP.

[pulsar lodge]

Finally got the Trinket so now I'm trying to get 2 1h maces or swords from Tunk

[white mural]

Note that maces don't and swords don't always have your stat on them.

They may have strength/intellect, making you unable to get it via loot drop. Only by trade.

Actually, that applies for any weapon that isn't a two handed sword or axe.

[pulsar lodge]

its because the mace has haste/crit on it which does make it better than the sword for outlaw rogue

the sword has crit/verst

[white mural]

If it has intellect instead of agility, it's not for you.

But if it has intellect and agility, use it.

Intellect and strength are pointless stats for rogues.

They just make weapons useless for you.

[pulsar lodge]

they both have Crit/Haste on it

[peak solar]

oh alrigjt im really enjoying the quests

[pale condor]

whats the idea of boosting? (not the online services for $$$) isnt it like you pay a mage or something to go through a dungeon (as a part of a group) and you gain xp? something like that? in-game boosting?

[peak solar]

so what your saying is it gets more fun when your max level?

[white mural]

Those are secondary stats. Strength, agility and intellect are primary stats.

[pulsar lodge]

the primary is stamina

[pallid fulcrum]

Im bored who wanna hop on call with me while we play?

[uneven matrix]

anyone wanna level a character with me?

[strange flame]

people can pay players or a community in gold to help them through group content, like heroic/mythic raid, older legacy content, or other things like pvp or m+

[pale condor]

@strange flame TY for the response. I understand your response. But it seems to be a "thing" for ppl to pay (in gold) for others to complete a dungeon (even though there not running the dungeon with the paid person) with the aim of just getting the XP no?

how does that work, no?

[umbral saddle]

xp, items, achievements

titles, mounts. usually

[pale condor]

slave pens was the answer i was looking for

TY for the responses

(i had to ask around to get that)!

hmmm, i guess tha t thing is that: I am REALLY tired of just questing - going to dungeons etc.

any advice how else to level?!

[umbral saddle]

Usually questing is the fastest and easiest unless you have a full group or at least a tank and a healer to run with

[loud geode]

Finally says complete 😁, ty

[fluid horizon]

If you are a healer you will get accepted dont worry. There isnt really a spec that you will have more or less success with if you havent touched any of them before

[queen linden]

Last night I done Mythic +15 in time , but now great valut give me item level 226 , why?

[fluid horizon]

You might have opened the last week's vault? Check if the Vault glows on your minimap

[silent topaz]

is there a cap of how much mark of honner i can carry ?

[oblique light]

For Havoc Demon Hunter I see a lot of people play using The Hunt but I can’t find how they get it if it’s for the other demon hunter class. How can I get The Hunt on Havoc demon hunter

[drowsy basalt]

So let's say I have 4 months left of game time on my account and I want to resub doing the 6 month intervals. When would they charge me?

[azure reef]

Both havoc and vdh get it if you’re apart of the nightfae covenent

[pure turtle]

hi, so i fell off the skyship from the starting questline in 5.4 mop patch, how do i get back up there ?

i'm talking about that skyship

[azure reef]

pretty sure theres small portals or goblin creations below it

if not maybe a rope? but i dont think thats available unless youve finished the intro on the ship

[amber crystal]

any holy paladin mains? i have a question - why is it preferred to craft holy barrier onto a legs piece?

[umbral saddle]

more stats and i can't remember if the foot slot had a dom socket but that might change in 9.2

[azure reef]

it kinda depends on what current legs/boots you have

say you got 252 haste vers legs from m+, then it goes on boots and vice versa

but if you havent got much gear put it on legs

[fervent bone]

Legs is ideal but wont matter a whole lot until you get very high quality gear

[reef whale]

do you have to use a 1 handed weapon and shield as holy pal or can you use a two handed weapon?

[fervent bone]

you can do either

but you cant cast shield of the righteous without a shield

as the name suggests

[peak solar]

im kinda lost i dont know what to do to continue the story

where am i supposed to go??

[white mural]

May I see your map?

[peak solar]

alright

it says story progression 0/7

[white mural]

Yes, go to the quest marker on your map.

[peak solar]

so the "!" ?

[white mural]

Yes.

[peak solar]

ive been doing them and it still says 0/7

well i just finished one right now and ti went up by 1

[white mural]

It's not 7 quests per zone. It's 7 chapters, each of at least 15 quests.

[peak solar]

ohh ok thank you

i was so confused

im in love with this game

i wish i didnt start playing so late

[white mural]

It's okay. Everyone starts somewhere.

[vale hawk]

Probably better that you're starting now VS over a year ago before the recent expansion launched and the new player and leveling experience was overhauled

Before it was a bit more confusing lol

[white mural]

Also what Gumball said.

[peak solar]

yeah i heard about the level changes everyone talks about it

[white mural]

Leveling got easier in Shadowlands, with the level 60 squish and new starting zone.

[peak solar]

wait whats wow classic?

[white mural]

WoW from 17 years ago.

[peak solar]

oh so like the older versions

like when it launched

[white mural]

Yeah.

And they're constantly updating it, too.

And hotfixing it.

[peak solar]

oh you think its worth playing

[white mural]

With your current experience, no.

[peak solar]

wait so are they putting all thier focus into that or are they also working on shadowlands

[vale hawk]

Wow Classic is a version of the game as it was before any expansions, quality of life updates, or upgrades. TBC Classic is the same but during the game's first expansion, TBC. They're both more or less novelty game modes included active gametime or a sub to the normal game

[peak solar]

ah ok

[white mural]

You'd get confused and rage at Hogger.

"y he so hard?"

[peak solar]

hahaha

[peak solar]

oh alright

[white mural]

Hogger is the only world mob to have a death counter dedicated to him.

Deaths by Hogger.

[peak solar]

hogger

seems scary

[white mural]

The Gnoll guy.

[vale hawk]

He's just a gnoll

He's not scary or ever has been that intimidating, Bad Apples just likes to try to test his bad stand-up comedy

[peak solar]

lmaoooo

[white mural]

He's scary when you look at his 2003 model in 2022.

Seriously. Update Gnoll models.

[peak solar]

i saw something really scary today though

i saw a big ass white dragon

[white mural]

A white dragon? Interesting.

[peak solar]

like it was uge

huge

it didnt attack me nor i could i attack him

[vale hawk]

Eventually you'll learn to only be intimidated by things with a skull in the level slot of their nameplates

[peak solar]

whats the skull supposed to mean?

[white mural]

Or Opulence in a certain scenario.

[A Very High Amount of Damage]

[vale hawk]

It will probably kill you

[white mural]

Awh.

Fear the gold elemental. Praise be its crown.

[vale hawk]

New player isn't going to get your joke referring to a mid-raid boss from the second tier of the previous expansion

[white mural]

I mean, they're currently leveling in that expansion. I suggest doing the war campaign once you reach level 50, too, to catch up with the story.

[azure reef]

You do meet the opulence in the bfa campaign so
Not all too out of context

[peak solar]

yes i am very confused

[vale hawk]

Like once, outside the raid, in one quest that's a part of the later stages of the war campaign, for only one faction

[white mural]

Otherwise, Nobbel is a good source of information on lore.

[peak solar]

war campain?

level 50

[white mural]

Don't be discouraged, you can do it.

[vale hawk]

He's giving you too much unnecessary information. Just focus on questing and leveling for now

[peak solar]

that seems mike alot

even though ive been leveling uo quick

[white mural]

Level 50 is nothing. It used to be 120 before the squish.

[peak solar]

oh wow

wait so is the war fun?

[white mural]

War and fun in the same sentence.

[peak solar]

lmaoo

ok

is the war hmm

exciting

[white mural]

The gameplay is fun.

[vale hawk]

The War Campaign is part of the story campaigns for the Battle for Azeroth expansion. It's not required for leveling, and you'll hit 50 before you finish all three BfA leveling zones

[white mural]

The story is a bit convoluted, but enjoyable for the most part.

You may not like some parts of it and that's fine.

[peak solar]

yeah some kf these quests have been a little bjt annoying bht for the mkst part its reslly fun

do you guys still play the game?

[vale hawk]

Just ignore what Bad Apples said about the War Campaign. That's not something you need to worry about

[white mural]

Actively.

[peak solar]

actively?

[white mural]

And I agree with Gumball. The war campaign is something to do for context on story, but it's not necessary.

And yeah, I play the game actively.

[peak solar]

wair will it tell me when j can do the war

[peak solar]

oh alright

i thought not many peiple play it anymore

[vale hawk]

Campaign quests are indicated by orange quest markers instead of yellow ones. You'll see them when you're able to do them

[vale hawk]

It's still one of the most played MMOs and has been for 17 years

[peak solar]

oh alright

[white mural]

Newer campaign quests are also in a rectangle marker rather than a circle.

Not that important.

Now, as for Zuldazar, I advise paying close attention to that Zul guy.

I think you've already noticed he's a bit shady.

There's also a cinematic somewhere in Zuldazar, I can't recall after which chapter, though. So definitely look out for that.

[pale condor]

how does a boost work? so one mage goes through the whole dungoeon, right got that. Is the mage giving XP to more than one person (more than me?) I assume if there were more than one person i wouldnt be getting the full XP?

[loud geode]

I think it's less XP for every party member that joined, but if you meant why people are using mage, it's mostly cause it's the best for boosting and dungeons, he has Blizzard for example, making AOE dmg and freezing them or slowing, can't remember

[kind fractal]

Anybody able to help me on the process of unlocking mechgnome race

The guides online are all pretty mixed up and none are matching to what im seeing ingame

[fluid horizon]

Where are you stuck exactly?

[kind fractal]

Starting it

I’m level 50

Alliance

But struggling to find where to start the quest or who I actually need to speak to

[fluid horizon]

Have you checked wowhead?

[kind fractal]

Yeah it’s all mixed

[fluid horizon]

I followed the WoWhead guide to unlock them and had no issues at all

Lemme look into that

Have you completed those 2 achivements?

Aka do you have Mechagon and Nazjatar unlocked?

IIRC the top achivement you dont need anymore, because the rep req has been removed, but i could be wrong about that

[kind fractal]

No but not sure where to start them

Have looked

Pretty new to this so all a bit confusing if may seem obvious to you I do apologise

[fluid horizon]

https://www.wowhead.com/guides/mechagon-junkyard-tinkering

Firstly you will have to reach friendly rep with 3 of your faction's zone reps, and then you will be able to start the mechagon questline, that will first send you to a zone called Nazjatar

You can earn rep with those factions by doing their storylines, or world quests connected to their reputation

[fluid horizon]

It is pretty confusing

I had a lot of trouble finding these out too

[kind fractal]

Few places I read said you don’t have to do the rep thing now shadowlands is out?

[fluid horizon]

You dont have to get exalted with the Mechagon faction, but you still need to do the friendly one with the 3

But getting to friendly is pretty simple

It takes a few days( if you are doing it with wqs, with quests it can be done in a day), and after that, you can start unlocking the zones, and after that the Mechagnomes

[oblique light]

Is there a quest that gives you The Hunt?

[azure reef]

You get it when you choose nightfae, and finish the intro to the covenent

If it’s ur first time at least iirc

The same way you unlock the covenent ability’s for every covenent

[oblique light]

Okay thank you

[compact mesa]

[Jaithys]

[compact mesa]

Guys do the stats I gain from consuming a weapon stack or you get the last one you consumed's stats?

[umbral saddle]

i think it stacks 5 times

but i haven't gotten the weapon 😦

How this sword works when you fed it:

PS: These numbers are for an item level 233:

1st rank:
Low chance of 2743 additional physical damage

2nd rank:
Low chance of 3457 additional physical damage

3rd rank:
Low chance of 3457 additional physical damage + 200 strength for 3s

4th rank
Low chance of 3457 additional physical damage + 400 strength for 3s

5th rank
High chance of 3457 additional physical damage + 320 strength for 3s

[fervent bone]

For Arms you want it at 5

For fury your first one at 5 second either 4 or 5

Depending on what your Sims tell you

[compact mesa]

Well here is mine

that is 2 consumed weapons

so far

[fervent bone]

Id got for 5 so you get the most whispers

Hehe

[umbral saddle]

wait Jaithys whispers to you too? D:

[fervent bone]

It laughs at me when i die

Yea

[umbral saddle]

fuuuuu

i need it

[white mural]

Yup.

I even run LFR in hopes to get it.

[pallid fulcrum]

Hi guys Im looking for a new spec or class for 9.2 I main bm hunter because I like simple things, but bm seems very veak for m+ with a complete st tier, Im looking for another easy and good ranged dps I focus on m+

any recommendation?

[reef whale]

Can you send gold to someone without a sub? I’m trying to send my brother enough to buy a month but I’m not sure if I can since his sub expired

[oblique apex]

so, I heard that it is possible to farm the wow time and expansions ingame, cant pay so i'm trying to go for it
is it possible at lvl 10? trial account in this case

[fluid horizon]

You have a 1k gold cap on a trial char so it isnt possible

You have to pay a sub at least 1 time to be able to afford your wow token

[oblique apex]

so, anyway it forces us to pay it to be able to play? :c

[fluid horizon]

Well he most likely got limited to the 1k gold cap, so not really

[fluid horizon]

Ye, Wow has been a sub based game for a while

[oblique apex]

thats sad

thanks tho

[quartz raft]

i literally can't complete the 2nd chapter of the new chains of domination campaign cause i got max eye of the jailer, returning player here. is there any way around it? i really have to wait until that resets to be able to do it?

[white mural]

Wait until tomorrow after the dailies reset.

[quartz raft]

lmao this is so BS, i heard you can disable that thing now

[umbral saddle]

the intro quest line for korthia is how you get rid of the eye

[quartz raft]

and you have to complete the chains of domination campaign? i already unlocked korthia and i still have the eye

[white mural]

You need like two chapters. But if your Eye of the Jailer is maxed out, you'd struggle a little.

I'd say not worth the trauma.

Wait it out or do Korthia exclusively. Like, the rares and treasures.

The other zones are also fine.

Dungeons, maybe.

[umbral saddle]

In Focusing the Eye, while in Desmotaeron - the area of The Maw occupied by Helya, Baron Vyraz, and their forces - you come across and rescue Danica the Reclaimer, one of Odyn's Val'kyr. You discover Helya is using Val'kyr in a ritual to empower The Nine Val'kyr who are loyal to Sylvanas Windrunner, before you return with Danica the Reclaimer to Skyhold. Odyn is furious, and decides to answer the insult by specifically targetting the Eye of the Jailer - which was once Odyn's eye, but which he plucked it out and exchanged with Mueh'zala centuries ago for a glimpse into the Shadowlands. Odyn sends Danica the Reclaimer and other worthy Val'kyr with you back to The Maw, where you challenge and blind the Eye of the Jailer, sending it fleeing, and removing the Eye of the Jailer debuff forever.

its the quest chain right after getting to korthia my bad

what quest are you on?

[quartz raft]

i looked it up, i'm on „the caged bird” which, conveniently, is in the same chapter i remove the eye in

[umbral saddle]

yeah you're like almost there. honestly i'd wait just because tier 5 eye sucks

[quartz raft]

returned after like 10 months and the first thing i encounter is a time gate that s not even from the current patch and that i remove a few quests later

yey

when is the reset, at what time?

[umbral saddle]

10 est

[quartz raft]

10 am?

[umbral saddle]

yeah

[quartz raft]

lmao that is like 16pm at my place, and it's 1:30 am now lol this is so BS

[white mural]

It is what it is. There are plenty of other activities you can delve into while you wait.

Getting a high item level before Korthia can help a lot.

[stray orbit]

Inventory issue I purchesed 5 of the same item, one item at a time, and now I need to send 1 of those items to an alt, but I can't get the items to unstack in inventory. It wants to send all 5 items. Is this possible to unstack?

[azure reef]

shift left click the item

and it should allow you to unstack/split it

[stray orbit]

its that easy? tried everything elsa, Ill try that . thanks

[azure reef]

something like this should show up

[stray orbit]

i feel so dumb sometimes, i tend to miss the easy day 1 stuff, thank you @azure reef

[azure reef]

[stray orbit]

I get the window, and changed the number to send just 1 but it is still sending all 5

[umbral saddle]

Gotta split the stack in your bag before trying to mail it

[peak solar]

which one of these talents are good?

wait i should zoom in

[azure reef]

you need to seperate the items into your bag

if you open up the box to seperate a stack, you need to actually seperate them into 2 different stacks then do whatever you want

[stray orbit]

Ok tried opening all bags and moving 1 of the 5, still recombined. I'm next to a bank, I'm going to try in the bank see if it will work there. If not, there is always more than one way to skin a cat, I'll just make the item and then send the item. Its the stupid selfie camara so not a huge issue, but I was working on achievements. lol

[azure reef]

click and drag into another slot

once youve selected how many you want to be seperated

if it doesnt work then idk

ye its called being in a rested area

[stray orbit]

Found a work around, I deposited into bank, then took 1 out, sent to alt, then back to bank. Pain, but it worked.

[azure reef]

xD ye i cant see why its not working for ya

its kinda clunky tbf

[stray orbit]

think maybe its how I have adibags organized and filtered.

[azure reef]

i do

works fine

[stray orbit]

I agree, I had the scope in a do not sell slot, so adi kept putting it back, the simple is always the hardest to see. Thanks for making me think it through. 😆

[quartz raft]

What's a convenient way to catch up on gear? I'm a returning player and I got at 187ilv now with crafted gear from ah, at the beginning of chains of domination campaign

[peak solar]

anyone help?

[umbral saddle]

I’d wait for 9.2 to really care we gonna have a nice catch up system 500 anima for a piece in ZM

[umbral saddle]

I would focus on getting your legendary right now

[azure reef]

leveling talents according to wowhead

[peak solar]

is this for me?

[azure reef]

i dont see any other questions about arcane mage talents

[oak mist]

I'm so confused. So the pets you get with Hunter aren't the same as companion pets?

[pallid fulcrum]

yeah they're not the same

you can have em follow you around though, so i understand the confusion

[silent topaz]

i heard u can use marks of honner to by tranmogs if u can were and is it avaible on free trial

[fluid horizon]

You can check online, there are multiple vendors

[azure reef]

[wild spirits]

bruh what

[short frost]

they died in shadowlands

[peak solar]

whats the best race for priests?

for the hordes

i made a pandaren one but i wanted to knwo if there was a better race for it before i level it up

[short frost]

just choose what looks nice to you

[peak solar]

what do you mean?

like the way the panda looks?

[short frost]

yes

[peak solar]

uh yeah why?

i already created it i just wanted to know if the pandas a good priest

[short frost]

you'll have to look at the toon the whole time

[peak solar]

toon?

[short frost]

better choose something you enjoy to look at

[peak solar]

is that all the races do?

[short frost]

we call the characters also toons

they have also racials

[peak solar]

oh so it dosent matter what race i choose

[short frost]

for example Goblin can do a rocket jump or shoot at rocket

yeah doesn't really matter

[peak solar]

oh maybe i shouldev read that

but i really like the pandas looks

[short frost]

panda is chosen often - their racial makes buffs from food count more

[peak solar]

oh alright

i guess panda was the right choice then

thanks doge

[short frost]

but the overall impact on your performance is neglectable

[peak solar]

alright

thank you

[peak solar]

which one of these is the best?

[short frost]

The Haversack

[peak solar]

no like

i get the haversak 100%

but i have to pick from the sword mace or wand

all of them are level 6

[short frost]

then they are all 3 similarly good

take the one that fits your spec

[peak solar]

wait with the wand its not gonna be close combat right?

[short frost]

it's a staff

[peak solar]

staff sorry

wait nvm

so they're all close

[short frost]

the mace and sword are 1handed

staff 2 handed

what spec you gonn play?

[peak solar]

what do you mean by that?

sorry im a little new

[short frost]

just take the staff xD

[peak solar]

alrgiht lmao thanks

[white mural]

What class are you again? A priest?

[short frost]

you'll get better weapoins soon

[white mural]

Priests are the only class with two healing specializations. Have you noticed how you can be arcane, frost or fire on your mage? That's also the case on a priest.

Holy, Discipline and Shadow.

[peak solar]

yeah i made a new priest

[peak solar]

oh alright

wait so

what do holy discpline and shadow do

is two of the focused on heal

thats what your trying to say?\

[white mural]

One heals, one does damage to heal, one just does damage.

[peak solar]

what do you mean by damage to heal

[white mural]

You'll see. Just get past level 10.

[peak solar]

alright thanks

so wait what do you think i hsould pick here

[peak solar]

.

[white mural]

You generally don't care about common items. Aka white quality.

Once you start getting uncommon, or green items, then you can start caring about stats.

[peak solar]

ok so it dosent matter what i pick

[white mural]

Not in the slightest.

[peak solar]

also im finding priest more fun than mage

[peak solar]

ok thanks

[white mural]

That's okay.

Every class has its niche.

[peak solar]

alright

wait what does the

tranees book of prayers do

it says i can put it on my off hand

[short frost]

if you have a mace or dagger or wand

then you can use it

not with the staff tho

[white mural]

Only with a one handed main hand.

[short frost]

you need both hands for the staff

[peak solar]

i shouldev picked mace

its ok

[short frost]

keep the book

[peak solar]

yeah i will

[short frost]

you may get a mace later

[white mural]

Nah, I'm pretty sure that's your starting book.

[peak solar]

it is

they gave m at the beginning

as well as a mace

[short frost]

xD

[white mural]

It gives no stats, to my knowledge.

[peak solar]

the book?

[white mural]

Yeah.

And even if you want a mace and offhand combo, you can just keep questing and get a better one.

[peak solar]

yeah thats what ill do

thank you!

[white mural]

Prioritize stats over looks, and don't look at weapon damage as a caster. Look at spell power.

If a weapon gives you more intelligence but has less attack power, that's not important.

You care about spell power on a caster. Not attack power. That's for melee bois.

[peak solar]

oh alright

ok thanks

sorry for responding late

[peak solar]

another questoin, im trying to change up my keybinds what is assist target? is it important?

[white mural]

Err... I dunno. I don't think I use it.

[peak solar]

ok

im level 10 now by the way i can pick my specalties

[white mural]

Yup.

[silent topaz]

what is the best healer for raids and dungeons ppl ( healer class

[peak solar]

wait i read the thing so discipline shields players
holy heals players and has attacks
shadow does damage?

[white mural]

Yeah.

[peak solar]

ok thanks ill probably do holy heals

[uneven bridge]

Just installed the game, no idea where to start. 😭

[velvet sparrow]

Exiles Reach should literally hold your hand ^^;

@uneven bridge

[velvet sparrow]

:D! Panda fren!

[peak solar]

similar names and we started around the same time wow (:

[peak solar]

panda on top

guess its time to buy the game now

[velvet sparrow]

Almost all my toons are Pandas!

[peak solar]

yeah i really like the panda race

it was fun using it

priest panda >

[velvet sparrow]

:D!

My Panda

[peak solar]

wow

that outfit looks so nice

[velvet sparrow]

:D!

[peak solar]

is the max level 50?

[velvet sparrow]

60

50 without Shadowlands

[peak solar]

what do you mean?

[neon cedar]

subscription lets you go 20-50, then you buy Shadowlands to go 50-60

[peak solar]

oh so 60's the max level?

because ive seen youtubers go beyond 60

[neon cedar]

old videos?

level cap used to be 120

[peak solar]

yeah the video was like 3-5 years ago

i think

[peak solar]

so now its 60

[neon cedar]

yeah, levels got scaled down from the old 120 to the new 50

[peak solar]

oh alright thank you

[velvet nest]

@peak solar you playing classic?

[peak solar]

nah this is shadowlands

[velvet nest]

I am thinking of getting back into WoW, trying to decide where to start over again

[peak solar]

is classic better than shadowlands or what?

[velvet nest]

I am not sure

retail is current wor
classic is vanilla rereleased
tbc is burning crusade

that's how it was explaned to me in another chat

[peak solar]

whats burning crusade?

[velvet nest]

beats me, I haven't played since 2008

[neon cedar]

wow's first expansion, and the latest re-released classic version

[peak solar]

oh alright

wait is the WoW subscription play time or is does it just finish in a month even if i dont play it?

[neon cedar]

month real time, so the latter

[peak solar]

no like is it going to finish even if i dont play? or is it playtime?

[neon cedar]

you don't pay by amount played but you lose it if you don't play within the period

you're paying to play pretty much any amount from <start date> to <date 30 days later> or whichever sub/prepaid you use

[peak solar]

oh alright thanks

[peak solar]

guys i just bought shadowlegends but i didnt get my 30 free days

[karmic hedge]

1. Shadowlands 2. Did you buy the epic edition? Only that gives 30 days.

[peak solar]

oops wtf

yeah i meant shadowlnads haha

and no i bought the basic

[brave hemlock]

sooo i just wondering where the heck is everyone at in emerald dream?

[umbral saddle]

minding their own business

[compact mesa]

Level cap was 120 before the shadowlands when they squished level to 60

[warm hazel]

Looking for help for an achievement called your just making it worse and we need someone who has manastorm duplicator willing to give 1,000 gold for helping us needs to be on thrall horde

[half dagger]

People on the site say that you don't need to have the duplicator for the achievement, it just takes longer, so you have to dps her slowly. Haven't tried myself yet though, forgot all about it.

[vapid agate]

Guys can i use character boost for Demonhunter?

[green epoch]

I don't know

[azure reef]

Private server talk isn’t allowed since it’s tos, so you won’t get any help here

[sage cairn]

When I try to use spells or talk to NPC's it takes ~1 sec to load, and 2 days ago it wasn't like this, in other games and discord I don't have any lag or anything, and in game it says I have 35 ping. Does anyone know how I could resolve this issue? I'm playing on shadowlands

[quartz raft]

guys, is there any reason I can't see the archivist to turn in cataloged research?

i am in that cave and there is no archivist..

[velvet nest]

just downloaded the 20 day free trial, any recommendations on which server I should hop on?

was a gnome warrior back in 2008, might try out paladin or mage this time around

[fluid horizon]

You have to continue the 9.1 questline

Same applies if it is an alt

You wont have it automatically when you skip with the help of Bolvar

[peak solar]

do you guys know why my subscription isnt working? i just bought 6 months and it still says "free trial"

[umbral saddle]

takes up to 24 hours to change

24-48 even maybe

[peak solar]

oh ok but now i got an email saying its frozen for some reason

[silent topaz]

can free trial get more posions ?

level 20 rogue

can i get more then one posion

[rancid moth]

i've never made it far into wow like the most progress i remember is that one island some classes and stuff start out at ( i obviously progressed but i remember nothing of it) but... does WoW after all this time still keep everything so with shadowlands does everything people used to go through in classic need to be done and then you go into WoW's first expansion or do you skip most of the things you used to need to do and just kinda have a jump around version of wow where a questline that used to be necassary is just fodder now

[hallow bolt]

Instant Poison (Outlaw/Subtlety) - L10
Deadly Poison (Assassination) -L13
Crippling Poison - L33
Wound Poison - L38
Numbing Poison - L54

[charred matrix]

where is the best place to find a guild? im a newer player and its hard to find a guild that is accepting of someone without extensive knowledge and being raid ready

[short frost]

if you apply to raiding guilds for a raiding spot this is indeed hard

try to find a guild that accepts new players

use the game's guild finder for example

or trade chat

[vale hawk]

@rancid moth

[rancid moth]

what

[short frost]

Gumball said: The default leveling route for new players from levels 10-50 is in BfA content. You can play in other zones, but that content will not scale appropriately while you level. After you've leveled your first character to level 50 you'll be able to use the Chromie Time feature to level future characters from 10-50 in the expansion content of your choice so that it will scale with you

[rancid moth]

yea but im like fresh of the game whats chromie time and bfa

and what not

[short frost]

BfA is the expansion Battle for Azeroth

Chromie Time is a leveling mode that lets you level in other expansions than BfA

[rancid moth]

so if you start in bfa chromie time lets you play somthing else with the stuff youve already gotten in bfa

and levels you've already gotten

[short frost]

no

Chromie Time is an option that you can use on other characters

if you have leveled to 50 with your 1st one

[rancid moth]

im gonna go ahead and assume WoW on of those games that outrageaously hard to get your head around but once your in the game and you play a bit it ease's out?

[short frost]

it's a 17 year old MMORPG ... it has metric tons of content and complex systems to make them enjoyable

[vale hawk]

Playing the game is the best way to learn the game, yes

[short frost]

you'll figure most stuff out as you go

[vale hawk]

The new player and leveling experience was overhauled before the current expansion's launch, however

[short frost]

your main goal as of now should be to reach level 50 or 60 and enjoy your time playing the game

[white mural]

Take your time, explore. Don't rush to max level, you'll dampen the experience.

[vale hawk]

You level 1-10 on the Exile's Reach tutorial zone, which gives you the basics of gameplay. From 10-50 the default leveling path is in Battle for Azeroth expansion content. On future characters, you use Chromie Time to level in the expansion of your choice from 10-50

[rancid moth]

its just a lot to take in... what my father used to say the game was. was this huge game that took hours,days,weeks, months to get ready for on raid... and now he says the huge boss of his era is now beatable by one player so i cant anticipate anything really

[white mural]

And don't be afraid of trying new things out.

[vale hawk]

Exile's Reach gives you the basics of gameplay, tutorials for basic systems, etc

[white mural]

Starting over will always be easier. Every time.

[vale hawk]

That's wildly inaccurate

It would take longer to poke holes in why that's not accurate than it would be to just say play the game, go through the tutorial, level your character, and look up guides and resources on Wowhead for everything else

[rancid moth]

well he played when it first came out and he also had everything else going on in his life... i dont really know

[vale hawk]

The current state of the game is better for new players than it was during vanilla. A 17 yo experience of the game is not represtantive of the modern state of the game

It's only been a little over a year since the new player and new leveling experience overhaul was done

[rancid moth]

doesnt help that im awhare of whats in there now i know that its easier once your in there but im also awhare of other realms and planets in the game,. which makes it seems like there

is way more then i can know

[vale hawk]

There isn't

[white mural]

Start slow. Don't be afraid to ask for advice.

[vale hawk]

All old lore you can catch up on with Nobbel87 on youtube, reading wowpedia articles, or going back and playing the old content yourself after you've caught up to current endgame

You'll spend your time leveling to 50 in the most recent expansion content, and then from 50-60 you'll be in current expansion content, and that's all you need to know for the current game. Everything else you'll pick up later or along the way

[rancid moth]

well i'll get back to my main question... i was told that shadowlands took classic wow and remade it so that you could get to new stuff in a different way or something like that... so in classic wow its got WoW and Burning Crusade... But what on shadowlands do you go threw burning crusade and lich king and so on and so forth and do all the bosses you would regularly or does shadowlands cut you short and its everything old re-done so you can get threw it or nothing old and just itself

and what of all the other Expansion are those in classic wow or shadowlands progression system

[vale hawk]

Nothing from Classic or TBC Classic benefits Retail/Shadowlands

Classic is the vanilla state of the game before any expansions or updates. You can carry a character from that into TBC Classic, or start fresh, which is the state of the game during its first expansion The Burning Crusade

None of that benefits Retail/Shadowlands. They are separate, standalone, novelty versions of the game that are included with active gametime or a subscription to the normal game

[rancid moth]

so what of lich king and other expansions are those gone where they on time experiences for the era or do you get to them in other gamemodes

[vale hawk]

All previous expansion content, zones, etc are still available in Retail/Shadowlands

[rancid moth]

ah ok

[vale hawk]

There is no Mists of Pandaria Classic, but you can still play through those quests and zones and get all those rewards like mounts and pets and toys in the ingame continent of Pandaria or level there from 10-50 using Chromie Time (after you've leveled another character already, of course)

[rancid moth]

so do you play through shadowlands first and then backtrack into old content or vice versa or can you split off and do old content whenever

[vale hawk]

It's recommended to get caught up to the current patch and then backtrack

[acoustic shell]

anyone know if grim veiled rings are a thing?

somebody told me i should have my legendary in the ring spot

instead of the bracers i have right now

[azure reef]

rings are shadowghast

not grim veiled

[acoustic shell]

so as a warlock orc i can use this shadowghast

sorry i am new

[azure reef]

everyone can use legendary rings, backs and neck vessels

so ye

[vale hawk]

https://www.wowhead.com/guides/shadowlands-legendary-gear-crafting-upgrading

[acoustic shell]

perfect thank you @azure reef

[vale hawk]

Shadowghast Rings are just the vessels used to make legendaries using powers that fit on rings

[acoustic shell]

and i will read this now thanks @vale hawk

let me do some research ill probably be back thanks all c:

[vale hawk]

You should also look up a guide for the spec that you play so you can see what legendaries work best per spec and per covenant

[acoustic shell]

oh yes ive read that the best covenant for me is night fae as a demonology warlock

but im a renown 80 necrolord

so i dont want to lose all the progress ive made here, is it necessary that i have to play night fae

[vale hawk]

If you swap covenants you won't lose any progress with the covenant you leave

And with the new changes to how covenant swapping works, you can swap back to that covenant with no penalty

https://ptr.wowhead.com/news/covenant-swap-in-patch-9-1-5-unlocking-free-covenant-swaps-324363

[acoustic shell]

Yea i did switch and try all the covenants but i dont keep my mission table or any of the progress ive made with the necrolords sanctum

so basically im restarting

[vale hawk]

You do

[acoustic shell]

i mean in the new covenant

it starts fresh

[vale hawk]

Because it's different for each covenant

You earn new stuff with the new covenant, but once you swap back to it it will still be there

[acoustic shell]

Mhm I see...

[vale hawk]

You can have your covenant sanctum fully upgraded on all four covenants on one character, and swap between them freely

[acoustic shell]

interesting

Ok i will try nf then c:

apparently i do have to use a ring, so i will try to get one now 😮

[azure reef]

what lego might i ask?

[acoustic shell]

lego?

the legendary

[azure reef]

the legendary

ye

[acoustic shell]

which one do i have?

[azure reef]

mainly out of curiosity, since im new to lock i like to know what everyone runs

[acoustic shell]

i have wilfred's wristwraps of superior summoning

[azure reef]

ah ye the cd reduction on the demon

[acoustic shell]

but i need to make a ring instead

its the correct spot

so i will sell this one

[azure reef]

its not a huge deal in all honesty, more or less for min maxing stats

rings just give very good stat weights

[acoustic shell]

but im not sure if i have to buy missives again and if the legendary will disapear

[vale hawk]

You can't sell crafted legendaries, but you can go back to the Runecarver and recycle them for the soul ash/cinders

[acoustic shell]

plus all my soul cinders and ash

[azure reef]

you cant get the item back

but you can recycle it for your cinders and ash

[acoustic shell]

ah i see

what about missives?

[vale hawk]

I'm sure that guide I linked explains recycling them

[azure reef]

still gotta buy the missive and item

[vale hawk]

No, you need new ones when you craft a new legendary

[acoustic shell]

oh i see, ok thanks i am swapping between a lot of wowhead guides over here

going crazy

thanks for all the help

[vale hawk]

Just take your time and read everything

https://tenor.com/view/knowing-is-half-the-battle-flint-gung-ho-lady-jaye-snake-eyes-gif-22398704

[acoustic shell]

i just made the swap from arygos to illidan realm, i couldnt find anyone to play with over there

do you guys know what a good guild is for mythic + dungeons

[vale hawk]

Any

You can use the in-game Guild & Communities window to browse through ads with listings for specific gameplay types and dynamics, and then it's on you to find one that you get along with

[azure reef]

big wow discords also have recruitment channels, generally not as active or easy as ingame however

[acoustic shell]

i see, if i join one and they are not active i can always switch guilds without penalty?

[azure reef]

ye

just leave and join another

[vale hawk]

As far as realm choice, you should make sure you play on a high/full pop realm and use a site like wowprogress to get an idea of that server's faction pop--you want to play on a realm with a faction balance equal to or in the majority for that realm

[vale hawk]

Yes, you can freely leave and join another guild

[acoustic shell]

i see

ok i will look into it some more

[vale hawk]

This page has links to various guides aimed at various subjects for new players. Just take into account that some info for older expansion content may be outdated, but it's still a good place to start: https://www.wowhead.com/guides/new-players

[acoustic shell]

Alright cool, I will read up thanks :3

[vale hawk]

I'd recommend just ctrl+Fing through that for things or searching on wowhead in general when something in-game pops up that makes you go "huh?"

[acoustic shell]

I see ok for sure, one more question though, i am ilvl 220 rn but would you say i should prioritize bis items over level?

[azure reef]

it depends on the bis item

if its trinkets

then 100%

since the effect is alot more important than ilv
