[atomic sonnet]

Timewalking is free money xp right now

[atomic sonnet]

Niiiice. We killed 4th boss heroic raid, loot dropped, didn't win the cloak. However, boss dropped a warband bound neckpiece - and that's best in slot for me

Though champion track instead of hero

[grizzled parcel]

Nice!

I got my last .5 level on this character, so that's three 80s. Gonna do a few WQs on her, then try my fourth.

[gusty stratus]

we wiped at one percent

[tulip badger]

oh is that a hard enrage he puts pizza slices across the whole room?

[atomic sonnet]

Yep

[tulip badger]

you're doing better than the worlds best guilds

theyre working on this boss now their best is 8%

[gusty stratus]

this is heroic btw, my guild is not that hardcore

[tulip badger]

heroic is good

[gusty stratus]

aaand we just killed it

[tulip badger]

big gz

[gusty stratus]

I can sleep now

[tulip badger]

did you get any loot

[gusty stratus]

none

ng_cry

[tulip badger]

Damn

I'm 30 crests from making my 636 weapon will be doing my best in m+ tomorrow

ah check this out I made a huge blunder this morning I didnt post here

accidentally bought 800 dragonflight feet enchants

massive blunder

[atomic sonnet]

My guild killed that boss yesterday with about half the raid dead

[atomic sonnet]

Heroic broodtwister down

[tulip badger]

big grats

Next is council ? that one was pretty hard

[atomic sonnet]

I think our best was something like 30%

[tulip badger]

💪 💪 💪 💪 💪

[tulip badger]

a noob?

[atomic sonnet]

Well yes~

[tulip badger]

im diamonded up

I guess some people like mounts like this..

[grizzled parcel]

got my fourth 80 this morning. Need to see about doing some Delves and WQs, might try to get the 5 Timewalking weekly done too.

[grizzled parcel]

... okay, the WQ to put flower wreaths on a ramolith is adorable.

[tulip badger]

just do black temple timewalking to complete the 5 timewalking quest

turns out 5 raid bosses is a lot faster than 5 dungeons

• the illidan quest rewards 610 gear

[grizzled parcel]

I may try that

Illidan quest?

[tulip badger]

yeah its a quest to kill him during timewalking you pick it up either in shattrat or at the start of the raid

[grizzled parcel]

Ah neat

OMG. I'm doing the mine Devlve, Brann keeps getting pasted by mine carts.

[grizzled parcel]

Welp. Just keep getting declined for Black Temple runs.

[grizzled parcel]

Ow

[tulip badger]

not sure if its been said here but you can get a free 615 (or 619 if you want to cash out) weapon by just doing the story mode queen ansurek quest

you get a heroic crest and craft it with q2 or q3 mats

really crazy for alts..

[grizzled parcel]

Man that raid took forever and I died a lot.

I did get a ring, a helm, and... a BoP Tailoring pattern.

Oh wait, the item it makes is BoP. Phew.

Oh nice

Well, that bumped my ilvl up significantly

[grizzled parcel]

Meh, I'm not seeing Special Assignments on my characters that used the Main Quest skip option.

[grizzled parcel]

Okay, so one unlocked in Ringing Deeps. Hm.

[grizzled parcel]

Delves rank 6 achieved, gonna take a break. I'd like to get rank 8 and run a Bountiful tonight, but I don't know that's gonna happen.

[atomic sonnet]

And that's catalyst-able!

[grizzled parcel]

Mhm!

I'm actually going to have a decent Catalyst for once.

Curious to see what I get out of the Vault tomorrow.

For some reason the Complete 4 Delves is lower than my 2 Delves.

[atomic sonnet]

Because that takes the lowest of the four you've done

Which would've been the tier 1. If you do one more tier 5 or higher, then the second lowest will be the lowest result

Always takes the lowest otherwise you could abuse it by doing one +8 and 7 +1s to get three +8 reward options

[atomic sonnet]

Oh, I don't know if i've mentioned it here before, but: Get the addon "Alter Ego". Good to keep track of what you've done for the week/if you have something in the vault

[atomic sonnet]

so delves getting a weekly dedicated to it too (like timewalking, dungeons/etc). Nice bonus

[atomic sonnet]

I AM RELEASED FROM THE TORMENT

[grizzled parcel]

I suppose that kinda makes sense, but it's very unintuitive.

[tulip badger]

which mount is that

[grizzled parcel]

Welp, couldn't sleep this morning, so I ground a Warlock from 70 to 77.

[grizzled parcel]

Maintenance extended 2 more hours

[atomic sonnet]

Beledar's Spawn. The one that spawns every 3 hours in Hallowfall. Finally dropped

[atomic sonnet]

US servers are up

[grizzled parcel]

I froze trying to get into the server.

[atomic sonnet]

Yeah i'm disconnecting before actually getting into the server

Ah, there

[grizzled parcel]

Crazy lag from everyone logging in, I guess

[atomic sonnet]

Just one item in vault for hunter, but it's an upgrade. 40 ilevel difference cape

Huh, level 72 DK has vault options. Time to check

"Requires level 80" dangit

Warlock

Trinket, as expected

Guess I didn't do shit on my pally and now time for main

The raid tier weapon or chest tier piece, I'd guess

Or wait, the shoulders perhaps. I do have a catalyst option

Huh, keeps recommending the legs despite me already having it. though it does recommend other things to catalyst too

[grizzled parcel]

Warlock got a helm, which is nice.

Now let's check in my Fury War main.

[atomic sonnet]

No matter how I tweak it, still the legs I can catalyst the hero tier chest I have, but gonna hold off on headpiece since that's still champion track

[atomic sonnet]

shard or saber?

[grizzled parcel]

The shard would be +Str + Mastery, which is really good for Fury. I have a 606 and 584 for my weapons, so 593 would improve my off-hand, but... I could just craft something for that slot.

Yeah, I think the shard is my best option, especially since one of my Trinkets is still a 460

[atomic sonnet]

Oof, yeah

World boss in Azj Kahet this week

[grizzled parcel]

Man, there's a world of difference between Zul'jin and Stormrage. On ZJ there were tons of Missives Treatises available in Public work orders, Stormrage there's very few and they disappear before I can grab them.

[atomic sonnet]

ZJ is one of the most populated servers, I believe

[grizzled parcel]

I was eventually able to find more. Got my new Scribe to learn most of the Treatises, which is what I wanted.

[grizzled parcel]

• Patron Orders
  • All customers (except for the Artisan's Consortium) now have a chance to provide basic reagents.
  • Increased the likelihood for all customers to provide basic reagents.
  • Lowered the quality requirement on many potential orders that grant specialization points by 1.
  • Addressed several rare cases where a customer could request a minimum quality for items without quality.
  • Removed several abnormally expensive orders from the pool of potential Patron Orders, such as Alchemy Cauldrons, Engineering Toys, and Darkmoon Sigils.
  • Developers' notes: All of the above changes only apply to newly created orders, existing orders should remain unchanged.

Apparently there's a 1 hour maintenance today.

[grizzled parcel]

https://www.wowhead.com/news/rewards-for-defeating-zekvir-in-his-lair-cosmetics-valorstones-farm-346822#comments

The Void skin for the Dirigible looks cool.

[atomic sonnet]

I did kill him on ?, but read comments/strats for ?? and thought it best to come back later. ? felt simple enough but the eggs were always very close thing to kill, and them having a lot more health means i'd get adds

[atomic sonnet]

Doing a 10 bountiful kriegsvald. Pulling mobs one by one

[grizzled parcel]

finally completed a Tier 7 Delve. THe boss kicked my ass severa times

[atomic sonnet]

I managed to pull off that 10 earlier, though there was a rare spawn of nerubians in this kobold delve. A big beetle type nerubian, 3 humanoid looking caster nerubians, and then 3 small tiny beetle ones. Managed to pull most one by one, but the big guy kept casting the thing on the floor that i had to dodge and one shotting me if I didn't

So i managed to clear it with 1 life left

[grizzled parcel]

Damn, nice

There was a rare spawn in my delve, but I was not going to try it on my undergeared alt.

Oh hey, the Stormrook cinematics work now.

[atomic sonnet]

I would've skipped it but I had no invis pots and it was in a corridor, so I literally couldn't

But yeah thankfully even clumped up, the little beetles managed to be pulled one by one, the big one as well, and I kept CCing the 'oracle' caster who casts a strong buff

(and by Big Beetle I mean one of these guys)

[grizzled parcel]

Oh yeah, those guys are nasty. There was one in the very start of my delve.

The rare I saw was a "Stolen Mining Machine" or something like that.

[atomic sonnet]

Ahh. I think what I had wasn't a rare that you can see on the map but something else

Yeah, it's one of those "zekvir's heralds" groups that can sometimes spawn

[atomic sonnet]

Dracthyr Racial Updates
Dracthyr who have strayed away from Evoker magic have a reduced movement boost when pressing Glide.

(in the .5 patch)

[grizzled parcel]

Bah

Didn't need nerfed, people were just being salty.

[grizzled parcel]

T8 Bountiful Delve kicked my ass. Couldn't finish it, lost all my lives and the final boss was just a bit too much.

[atomic sonnet]

Which one? Some are brutal

[atomic sonnet]

Tried to pug a +5 necrotic wake, failed at 2nd boss because stuff wasn't dying right. Then went to a wow streamer and we did a +7 mists. Works for me

Even if I do lower ones to fill more slots, this guarantees at least one heroic tier item from the dungeon slots

[grizzled parcel]

The one with the Sporebits. Those things are evil. I died to those a few times, and a couple times I died because Brann pulled shit when I wasn't ready.

[tulip badger]

i think you only need +3 for hero track in vault

[grizzled parcel]

I'm not interested in doing Mythics. They don't sound fun to me.

[tulip badger]

ye I meant this 😛

[grizzled parcel]

Ah

[grizzled parcel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1fptjb9/absolutely_unplayable/

[atomic sonnet]

It can be both the worst and the easiest. If you can time it right, the sporebits hurt enemies too

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, the parts where I died were where there just wasn't room to maneuver.

[atomic sonnet]

I'm starting to feel mildly annoyed at flight. The whirling surge that spins you. It looks good on some models, really fucking dumb on many others

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, I've seen some that look amazing, and others that are just dumb.

Discs look great.

[atomic sonnet]

Horses, for example

[grizzled parcel]

Oh god, I haven't tried on a horse

[atomic sonnet]

It's so bad

Also doesn't help that i'm on a tauren character, so it looks extra stupid with a giant character on the horse

[grizzled parcel]

[atomic sonnet]

I feel anything with wings looks good, they made the effort to do the right animation of pulling in the wings for the spin. Dragons, birds, etc

The bruiser kobolds swinging for about 2.5 mill per hit

[grizzled parcel]

After all the nerfs, I kinda regret making a pair of Fury Warriors to be my "mains."

Love the feel, hate that damage keeps getting reduced.

[atomic sonnet]

Yeaaaaah

Streamer I follow tends to main warrior/pally during an xpac, and his title today was "Full blast Pally time". Not sure how much in jest it was

[grizzled parcel]

Yup, might have to level a Pally or DK. sigh

Apparently dual-wield Frost DK is doing well right now.

[atomic sonnet]

Ah, DW? Mine is 2h. Might have to find one handers

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, saw someone complaining on Reddit that the BiS lists for Frost were all DW 1H, and not even offering a 2H alternative.

[atomic sonnet]

I'm 609... explains the trouble with 11

[grizzled parcel]

Ouch

[atomic sonnet]

I HAVE TOO MANY TRINKETS

[grizzled parcel]

Damn

[atomic sonnet]

Skardyn is S+ tier, so that ain't budging

Simming is saying https://www.wowhead.com/item=225638/spelunkers-waning-candle but I'm not sure I trust that

It's listed as B tier but to be fair, I don't have any others in the tier list, and Madness of the betrayer isn't even listed

This list, that is

[grizzled parcel]

I never did figure out simming

[atomic sonnet]

You need the simulationcraft addon, type /simc which opens a window with a lot of text. Then go to raidbots.com, copy that text into the box. Then you can select as many items as you can, and the site will run calculations of estimated DPS you'd do averaged over 100/1000 fights, and shows you the combo that ended up getting the highest dps

did a quick m0 on my warlock, got into a partially done one, finished it no problem. Got loot from the last boss, boots. A mere 60 ilevel upgrade from my green ones

[grizzled parcel]

I think I'm going to take my DK through the human heritage questline, then race-change him to a Kul Tiran for the +2/+2 profession boosts and level him up in TWW. I've got three race change tokens sitting there, might as well do that if I'm going to play him, since the human racials don't really appeal to me.

[tulip badger]

aand zekvir done

[grizzled parcel]

Awesome!

Gonna take me weeks to gear up & level Brann enough for that.

[tulip badger]

My brann is lvl 42

[grizzled parcel]

Mine is like 12.

[tulip badger]

havent done many bountiful delves? thats where he gets crazy xp

[grizzled parcel]

I tried one, got my ass kicked. Just not geared well enough for it yet.

[tulip badger]

Bountiful delves are the same difficulty as normal delves so if you did a 6 maybe just set it down to 5 or something

[grizzled parcel]

Hm. Was wanting to avoid using my keys on stuff below T8, but it might be the only way to gear up.

[tulip badger]

if you can do tier 8s thats ideal but if you dont get to t8 and the keys are just rotting away its kind of a waste

[grizzled parcel]

True. Guess I might as well use them & just get more later once I can handle T8.

[tulip badger]

delves seem like the easiest way to get good vaults too

Im doing 4 on my DK so I can choose between two 616 items

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, sounds like the best way to gear once hitting 80.

[grizzled parcel]

WTF, you can get Null Stones from fishing?

[atomic sonnet]

Yay, heroic silken court down, and 4 piece achieved

[atomic sonnet]

Heh. Liquid kills Mythic Ansurek, on pull... 404

[atomic sonnet]

cap'n, the artillery ain't doin' shit!

[tulip badger]

Im sitting down to drink and the tank jumps into the first boss on city of threads 10 and gets one shot

[atomic sonnet]

Serves him right

[grizzled parcel]

sigh Trying to do Bountiful Delves, Harley keeps flopping out and getting in the way.

Zek'vir showed up during Nightfall Sanctum. I was actually doing okay, but then got hung up on terrain and he one-shot me.

[tulip badger]

he still drops his thing even if he kills you which is nice of ihm

[atomic sonnet]

[atomic sonnet]

@grizzled parcel Have an errand to run, will be back in... 45ish I'd say? I still need to do one bountiful t8 on my hunter, and then two on my warlock (who is undergeared so i dunno if i'll be able to complete it). Wanna do at least two t8 together to get you higher tier rewards?

[raven mortar]

Scratch that time frame, neck is killing me. Gonna see if I can get a massage. Still up for this in a few hours though

[grizzled parcel]

Sorry, I'll be going to bed in a little while. Thank you for the offer though!

[grizzled parcel]

Apparently after the Zekvir nerf, people were farming him to push their Vaults to 616, because Zekvir ? counted as a T8 delve but takes very little time for a geared character to kill.

That has been fixed, Zekvir ? no longer counts towards the Vault.

[grizzled parcel]

Maintenance extended 2 hours.

[atomic sonnet]

The Maintenance Within

[tulip badger]

alright lets try this fury warrior thing

gonna need a 2nd weapon

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, I probably need to use Sparks to get my first good weapon, and hope for a decent Vault for the second.

[tulip badger]

gl with crafting a fury warrior wep

even if you dont go for the highest quality a 2 handed will cost you 50k

[grizzled parcel]

Yeeeeah

That's the problem, and why I'm trying to focus on builds that find Null Stones easier for my Miners

Aaaaand maintenance extended another hour.

[atomic sonnet]

I was lucky to get a good 2h polearm from warbound stuff, sent it to my surv hunter

[atomic sonnet]

Seem to be up!

[grizzled parcel]

Aha!

[atomic sonnet]

Well that's an easy choice for my hunter. Dungeon reward is a 603 with vers haste

Nice. Weekly today is to do 5 delves, and if you go to brann in dornagal, he asks you to do 3 for a weekly too

[grizzled parcel]

Cool!

Also we should have bonus Delve progress this week

... okay, swapping servers is painful right now.

[tulip badger]

what do you get for the delve weekly

[atomic sonnet]

Uh, lemme check

[tulip badger]

hero track would be nice

[atomic sonnet]

for warlock

weekly is 597 at least for my warlock, but they're like 570

i'm gonna ssume the offhand...

[grizzled parcel]

Someone was desperate, I got 500 gold for making an Engineering Treatise.

[atomic sonnet]

[grizzled parcel]

Gonna have to pick the Neck, wish the legs had been in that 606 slot instead.

[atomic sonnet]

RIP

We'll get you some t8 this week

Noice, the fateweaver offhand created a 610 mainhand

Pally next!

[tulip badger]

oh

you got that item

https://www.wowhead.com/news/how-to-obtain-fateweaved-weapons-likely-best-in-slot-caster-weapons-for-tww-346717

tldr its the best weapon you can get before myth track

[atomic sonnet]

Got it hero track too so that's fookin' noice

Well gee this is a hard choice

[grizzled parcel]

Preventing the cat from flopping on my keyboard

[atomic sonnet]

And now DH

[atomic sonnet]

Stop them from select the wrong vault option!

Yeah the 5 delve quest is just a 597 champion track item

[grizzled parcel]

Still an upgrade for most of my characters.

[atomic sonnet]

[grizzled parcel]

Ooh, that's a lot to choose from

[atomic sonnet]

Neckpiece, looks like. I already have the ring in better version, weapons are better, trinket is better, cape... might be okay but i'm aiming for something else

Neckpiece is identical to what I have (though i have a 610)... but vault one has a socket

[tulip badger]

all necks have 2 sockets 😎

[atomic sonnet]

Ah, that replaces the df one then

[tulip badger]

its very important in order to get full value from

so you can go full speed ahead

[tulip badger]

been thinking about slotting in a stam gem for 2% more speed..

[atomic sonnet]

Not like i need more speed on a DH

[grizzled parcel]

Oh right, I hadn't even considered sockets

That makes the neck I picked a little better. Assuming I can afford a gem.

[atomic sonnet]

Or the thing to create a gem. I just spend like 25k to get the t3 gems and the jeweler's setting

[grizzled parcel]

There's a thing?

[atomic sonnet]

Artiks' screenshot

[grizzled parcel]

Ah, yeah that creates a socket. I misunderstood.

[atomic sonnet]

Oh, new trading post month too

[grizzled parcel]

Yup!

[atomic sonnet]

Went to org, as i went through the portal i remembered that dornagal has a trading post area too

harvester golem mog and mount, probably

[grizzled parcel]

Game froze, there's a 300 mb update on the launcher, and it got stuck at 250 mb.

Cash shop item

[atomic sonnet]

Used to be a trading post item i think?

Rude, no loot on 4 chars from world boss

[tulip badger]

lookin like tier gloves

[atomic sonnet]

Zekvir is spicy today

Doing bountiful t8 spiral weave, on last boss. Get to 2nd phase with the 3 nerubians (which then turns to scarab lord for 3rd phase)
And guess who pops up mid 2nd phase
Thankfully just a t8 and my brann was set to heals so it wasn't a problem, but still, what the fuck at that timing

[grizzled parcel]

https://www.wowhead.com/news/the-war-within-hotfixes-for-october-1st-347360

I race-changed my main to Earthen, and I think I need to change her spot in the warband.

[grizzled parcel]

also, I realized last night that part of the problem with my warrior is she still has leveling green items. Gonna have my Blacksmith make her some blues to fill those gaps for now.

[atomic sonnet]

Don't forget the first two caches of the week give loot - try to open the purple ones from the 'special assignment' quests, or stuff like the weekly spider pact thing

[grizzled parcel]

turns out, the greens are higher ilvl than the blues I could craft.

Yeah, may just have to wait an hope for good drops off the caches.

[atomic sonnet]

You should have a few sparks, might be worth looking at crafting a purple too? Doesn't even need to be super high level

Oh, speaking of - there might be a quest in dornagal from a tiny spider called "our chance to strike", or close. This leads to a mini questline in azj kahet, which then leads you to a solo version of the Queen Ansurek fight

That quest rewards one of the crests which is one of the mats to make the purple gear even higher - like up to 619 max, I think? Increases the range

[grizzled parcel]

Oh shit, that's awesome

Dammit. Brann threw his campfire down on a mining node and it disappeared.

... or they're just disappearing when I get close

[grizzled parcel]

Huh, that's different.

Bah, nothing from the World Boss but gold and some crests.

[grizzled parcel]

snrk Did the Theater Troupe event but forgot to take the "Complete one Theater Troupe Event" quest first.

More crests.

[atomic sonnet]

That's why I was saying the cache stuff! Guaranteed items at least 😛

[grizzled parcel]

Damn, this T7 boss is kicking my ass

Finally got him down

Ugh, same 1H sword I already had from the first cache.

[grizzled parcel]

I cannot figure this boss out

[atomic sonnet]

Which one is it?

Also do you want to duo?

@grizzled parcel

[grizzled parcel]

https://www.wowhead.com/npc=220577/nerlathekk-the-skulking

[atomic sonnet]

Oh that asshole, he's a pain. I think the adds make a shield so you gotta kill them as you go, but it's hard. Took a while on my alts too

[grizzled parcel]

I've tried killing the Nerubians that empower him, but they just keep respawning and I run out of room with the zones. Tried pulling him to another platform, but the adds still can empower him at range.

[atomic sonnet]

I think it's gear that's stopping you there. Normally I can barely kill one before a second spawns, and i think it's like 2-3 void zones max? Gotta be able to cleave the boss while dpsing the adds

I'm on my pally, if you want we can do t8 bountifuls. I can solo them so we can get you good gear

[grizzled parcel]

I'm about to just give up for the day before I smash something. I'm too stressed

[atomic sonnet]

Beating one up can be a good stress reliever too. I'll take my main instead so we can annihilate it :X

[grizzled parcel]

if you want. I'm just frustrated and ready to throw something.

[atomic sonnet]

To compound the absolute unfairness, I got two bounties during those two runs T_T

S'not like I need them, dangit

[grizzled parcel]

Oh no

Thank you again for those runs. I really appreciate it.

I don't know how my clothies would ever get through T8 Delves.

I think it adapts to class HPs? Also really good use of tools (CC etc). I'm game getting your clothies through two T8s too, gotta do em on my three alts

[grizzled parcel]

Sounds good. I'll have to see if my SPriest has any keys, my Warlock still needs to finish leveling. And I've got another Warrior I could run through them at some point, but that can wait.

[atomic sonnet]

[tulip badger]

Got Keystone hero yesterday. Just missing Grim Batol portal 😤

Grim Batol must surely be the most depleted key we tried it but its rough

Dont you love pug tanks MDI pulls

[atomic sonnet]

I had one dumbass who was starting a 4 NW, mistakenly put his own 8 NW key instead of the 4 holder. Then pulled the first 4 packs at the entrance. He dies, we die, we run out and reset. Does the mistake again with his now +7 key, and does the same pull, we die.

Finally get the +4 key, does the same pull, we do alright, fight the boss, before the boss dies he pulls in an extra pack which includes two stun mobs, healer dies, tank dies, we all die, I leave because at this point this fucker's trolling

Oh makes sense, still had a 554

[grizzled parcel]

Oh right, need to check my Vault. Gonna kill World Boss first though.

[atomic sonnet]

Oh yeah, that's up. Where's he at this week?

Ah, ringing deeps

[grizzled parcel]

Yup. Weird one, gotta kill mobs until the shredders can make their way into position, then he can be attacked.

Okay, damn that trinket is nice:

[tulip badger]

yeah thats a great trinket

[atomic sonnet]

hero Tier shoulders on warlock 😮

Pally. I guess it's neck and trinket week

[grizzled parcel]

Apparently

Time to go Timewalking!

Do the raid on my main, then will likely spend tomorrow grinding levesl on my DK and Warlock

[atomic sonnet]

Definitely need to sim for my main

[grizzled parcel]

Okay yeah, I need the mount for my DK.

[tulip badger]

didnt you hit the jackpot neck

[atomic sonnet]

Not sure, it's low on mastery and that's my top stat except agi

[atomic sonnet]

Don't forget to pick up the quest in... dalaran I think? The one that makes you do the raid. Hero track gear from that

Seems like the weapon's my upg... but gonna wait until friday (raid night) since I am aiming for kyveza's weapon instead

I already have this one in champion track too

[tulip badger]

i would be crafting weapons with gilded crest if I were you assuming you get some of those on a weekly basis

[grizzled parcel]

Yup, got the quest. Finally got into a group, waiting for everyone to actually queue in

[atomic sonnet]

Barely, haven't been doing any high keys

[tulip badger]

you also get them from heroic council and queen but idk how far you are in the raid

[atomic sonnet]

heroic Queen is proving problematic

Everything else is easy enough

[tulip badger]

yeah she is craaaazy for a heroic boss

[atomic sonnet]

And yeah I already have a crafted glaive at 619. Kyveza's is just that good tho

[tulip badger]

yeah but 636 is really high

[tulip badger]

first thing I did was craft 636 weapon with gilded because I knew I was never doing mythic raiding

[atomic sonnet]

The fuck, 90 gilded crests for the thing to craft?

[tulip badger]

yes its good value if you have a 619 or below weapon

and of course the only way to get items that high ilvl outside of myth track

[atomic sonnet]

How many drop again on a +9? I forget

[tulip badger]

12 if you time it 5 if you deplete

and you should have gotten 15 a week from the 7th heroic boss i forgot their name

[atomic sonnet]

council

I used them to upgrade other stuff, hadn't thought of making a 636

[grizzled parcel]

Well, we died on the first Ulduar boss and half the raid left.

[atomic sonnet]

The first boss is silly. Were people running in or using vehicles?

[grizzled parcel]

Vehicles, they just weren't using the bombs right or the people on sidecars weren't reloading/targeting the air

And I died getting back to the boss because someone didn't clear one of the air attackers.

Yeah, I don't think we're going to clear this.

Oh wow they did it

[atomic sonnet]

Ulduar is much more mechanically annoying than timewalking black temple. Gonna be.... interesting

[grizzled parcel]

Still running through Ulduar, and so far I've had 597 purples drop for all the slots I was missing.

[atomic sonnet]

[grizzled parcel]

Not the best secondary stats, but I'll take it!

Wrong secondary stats again, but still, it's an ilvl boost

Hm, I've only got two Catalyst charges

Guess I'll do legs for the 2pc

[grizzled parcel]

Wow, found 5 rares in 20 minutes flying around Isle of Dorn, so got the weekly done. Aaaand it's another trinket, not as high ilvl as the ones I've got.

Oh well, that's done for the week. Now to level some alts.

My lock got the bottom row middle trinket from delve

[tulip badger]

[atomic sonnet]

It was an upgrade from what I had, lol

[atomic sonnet]

For?

Also: 2 chars, 2 timewalking ulduar, and loot from chest... two capes T_T

[grizzled parcel]

Timwalking dungeons. There was a solid hour where I sat in queue with nothing, then finally popped.

Tank spec with healy brann just to be safe >.>

So I looked up the class randomizer to see what to level up next

I shit you not, the first roll

(that's my main)

Roll #2 is frost DK, which I just hit 80 with

[grizzled parcel]

I needed one more Timewalking dungeon to finish leveling my DK to 80.

Instead, I spent about 45 minutes mining until I dinged 80, without the queue popping.

[grizzled parcel]

On that note, Potion of Truesight is fantastic. With a maxed Ironclaw skill and the potion, I found four Null Stones and about as many partial ones from other ore nodes.

[grizzled parcel]

Congrats!

[grizzled parcel]

Tried to run a T8 Delve on my main and got absolutely wrecked. Not sure what mechanic was making me die so fast. Swapped over to Fungal Folly, managed to finish it with just one death, so at least I'll have something in the Vault tomorrow.

Swapped to my SPriest, realized I never opened her Vault from the Northrend Timewalking. Got her Tier piece head out of that, not the best ilvl but still. Tried to T8 Fungal Folly, couldn't manage it, so just finished it on T6.

[atomic sonnet]

What was the first delve? And do you want to run with me to do a t8?

So we can get you two T8 for vault slot 🙂

[grizzled parcel]

It was Kriegval's Rest. Picked up a candle, navigated around the flamethrowers, found the chest that spawns an enemy and it absolutely fucked me up. If one of the big kobolds joined, I was doubly fucked.

[atomic sonnet]

Oh, the purple elemental thingy? Yeah, those fuckers are crazy

Even my main can get killed by one of their abilities

Gotta stun/interrupt that channeled spell of theirs

[grizzled parcel]

I got the Vault slot unlocked on my Warr, thank you though. I might consider running one with you on my SPriest after dinner, if you're still interested.

[atomic sonnet]

Probably! But is that vault slot for t6 or t8? I think you'd need two t8 for it to count at that ilevel

[grizzled parcel]

The Warr should be two T8s.

[atomic sonnet]

Ah, good good 👍

Also don't forget the weekly quest - you can queue for heroics with the LFG tool and those are pretty easy. Quest gives 610 item, I think

[grizzled parcel]

Really wish I could get the Crest recipes for Enchanting to drop, but I may have to run some Bountiful delves on the SPriest to find those.

[grizzled parcel]

I'm a little wary of Heroics, given my experience with jerks in DF and seeing similar reports on Reddit.

Also I don't know the dungeon mechanics, I'd have to watch some videos and maybe run some Follower versions first so I know WTF I'm doing.

[atomic sonnet]

This week should generally be better, people are running them on bigger toons because a heroic is fastest vs mythic 0 or mythic +

But yeah, groups can be iffy at times so mileage may vary

[grizzled parcel]

Also considering what characters I want to level when the new event starts.

Gotta do that daily every day on each character if you want the full 20% bonus though. Everyone gets 10% baseline, but that daily is required to get the full 20%.

Hm, 264k at the moment

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, I figure the price is going to bounce wildly all weekend. Apparently people are using scripts to buy and sell the tokens, trying to work the market.

I got lucky and sold two for 330k yesterday morning. From what I'm reading it topped out around 400k before dropping again and was down around 200k overnight. Probably speculators "holding" for the price to go up which... caused the natural 1% price decline to drop the price all night.

[atomic sonnet]

I alt tabbed since I last said that and looked again, it's now 267k

I think I'd go for it if it's closer to 200. 250 feels too much for how much I have D:

Shit for dk, forgot it was just a tier 1 world event/quest reward

Pretty sure that trinket is BIS for hunter...

(after simming, the answer was very much yes)

Just a trinket on warlock, time to sim

[grizzled parcel]

Don't forget, DMF is up

[atomic sonnet]

So glad they upped the amount of bronze tokens you get

[grizzled parcel]

I still need to hit my first 100. Got a few thigns I need to do.

[tulip badger]

oh thanks

free knowledge

[grizzled parcel]

Man, Awakening the Machine isn't much fun, but at least I got some decent gear and Bronze.

[atomic sonnet]

Yeah, bellular was talking about the patch and stuff added, and how 11.0.5 seems it was just released too soon - as well as some stuff in base game. Apparently awakening was almost torghast-like with extra powers and stuff, and chromie's codex is just so barebones, both needed more time in the oven

[grizzled parcel]

Oops, didn't realize my DK still had something sitting in the Vault. Got some okay Veteran gloves.

And the game crashed and now I can't log back into her.

[atomic sonnet]

[atomic sonnet]

How to tell what are my alts: going through DMF, check cooking skill level

Main: khaz algar cooking

Most others: legion cooking, though I just saw a draenor cooking. Some haev none at all

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah, I've neglected cooking this expansion.

Which isn't good, it does have some decent buffs.

Since my DK was locked, I logged into my Dark Iron warrior, ran a T8 bountiful delve... and found a map inside. So I used it, got some decent upgrades.

[atomic sonnet]

Locked how?

[grizzled parcel]

Anytime I tried to log back into her it said "A character with this name already exists."

So I'm guessing the crash prevented the game from properly logging her out, and I just have to wait for it to idle her out.

[atomic sonnet]

Usually this would be 15-30 minutes. It should be okay by now

[grizzled parcel]

Yup, right now I'm just focused on finishing the Delve weekly on this warrior for the Bronze. Though I forgot how hard T8 Dread Pit is, so I may regret that.

[atomic sonnet]

Have patience too. It's very possible to pull single mobs from 'groups' with the right timing

[grizzled parcel]

God dammit

Literally the same pants, only worse.

Okay, definitely undergeared for T8 Nightfall sanctum.

[grizzled parcel]

Yup. bailing on that. Gonna do an easier T6 somewhere just for the weekly.

[atomic sonnet]

I need to go on an errand for 30-40 min. Can do some delves when I get back?

[grizzled parcel]

I'd appreciate that. I just need one more for the quest, and maybe a second for Vault. After that I want to work on leveling another character.

[atomic sonnet]

Dangit. Went to the store, saw some 12 packs but they didn't look labeled with the promotion thing, so I got 6 20oz bottles that were at least marked 'xbox unlock gaming rewards'

These give 100 points each vs 500+ for the 12 packs of cans. Put in 5 codes, tried the 6th to get the bike and it says "exceeds daily limit" T_T

[grizzled parcel]

Oof.

Yeah, I may see if they have any 12 packs of the zero sugar version next time I go shopping.

And now crossing fingers for my DH. First time I have a myth track option... let's hope it's a good one

[grizzled parcel]

I've got just long enough before errands to check, so I'll log in.

[atomic sonnet]

Feck, vers mastery myth track ring

Time to sim...

[grizzled parcel]

Earthen Warrior is a bust, both items are lower level than what I have.

[atomic sonnet]

Hmm, maxed out myth ring would be less increase than a maxed out hero trinket option from vault

[grizzled parcel]

Dark Iron Warrior only has 2 options, but one is a really high ilvl trinket, so I guess I'm going with that. Ring has better secondary stats, but Stamina as a primary stat, so I think the trinket is worth it.

[atomic sonnet]

I think those tend to be good

[grizzled parcel]

Mage has a lot of options, but the best ones are either main-hand or offhand. The staff is lower ilvl. Hm. Sword looks to be my best option, I can always get an offhand and other stuff later.

Apparently DK did not complete enough activities to unlock anything.

Will have to check Hunter later.

[atomic sonnet]

Only had stuff on mage lock and DH

[grizzled parcel]

I really need to focus on one character, but I have alt-itis.

Hunter has... options

I may go for the boots. I can get the chest and legs later via the Catalyst.

Yo

what would it cost to get the bike?

[grizzled parcel]

I'll have to see what prices are, I don't know that I'll be able to go shopping until at least Wednesday.

[tulip badger]

is it 600 points for the bike

[gusty stratus]

I can't even access the site lmao

[tulip badger]

oh me too lol

[grizzled parcel]

IIRC it's 600 points for the bike, and you can get 500 points from a 12-pack of cans.

[gusty stratus]

neat

[grizzled parcel]

I think my plan is going to be to buy a couple 12-packs, and a couple 20 oz bottles, so I can trade the 600 pts worth of codes to you, and keep 600 for myself.

[gusty stratus]

alright, give me a heads up if you're actually gonna get so I can pay you

[atomic sonnet]

A 24 pack is 100 points, then two 20oz bottles are 100 each

[grizzled parcel]

Oh

That's disappointing.

[tulip badger]

he means a thousand

[grizzled parcel]

Oh!

Yeah, that'd be more efficient if I were using the codes myself. But if I'm giving some to Flushies, I'd need to split them up.

[atomic sonnet]

er, woops

yeah i typo'd and missed a 0 there

[atomic sonnet]

Not necessarily. According to the screenshot they can't even access the page to register/get points

All you need to do though is input the codes yourself (5 max per day), then you "purchase" an item from the page which then gives you a code

And you can give the code to Flushies to redeem on battle.net page/app

[grizzled parcel]

Ahh, okay.

I'd have to see if our stores even have the 24-pack cases with codes (and risk a hernia injury carrying it).

[atomic sonnet]

Two 12 packs should work as well, just make sure they're not standard ones

https://www.mtndewgaming.com/products

They gotta have the art, or at least that line at the top mentioning xbox and whatnot

The ones without won't have the code. When I went to my local place, none of the big packs had anything, so I got 6 20 oz bottles instead
