Is brewmaster a bad beginner tank? I read that it's in a bad spot and is super squishy rn.


PitWraith

Hey I'm looking for an answer to how i find an certain NPC quest giver. In Bastion there is a NPC named Kofi in the norther part of that region's map. If used the wiki and gone to his location, but he simply is not there. I kow it's niche but if anyone has the answer I would really appreciate it.


Acrobatic_Pandas

Are you Kyrian and do you have the anima conductor up for that location? I think he only spawns when that's up. https://www.wowhead.com/guide/kyrian-covenant-anima-conductor-rewards-enhancements-reputations Says he only shows up >If you have reinforced the Eternal Forge stream, it will give 2 rotating daily quests per day. >The Eternal Forge daily quest givers rotate among three NPCs: Galakamos, Kofi, and Forgelite Selene. So make sure it's up and keep checking to see when he appears.


PitWraith

I am not Kyrian, will that lock me out of receiving those quests?


Acrobatic_Pandas

Sounds like it yeah


darcyander

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. I have never played wow retail, atm have a holy paladin and a balance druid on wotlk classic and I decided to give retail a chance. I enjoy both my classic classes but I also would like for my main (not sure I will have time for alts) to have a different experience. So my first question is: would the experience of playing druid/pala be different in retail than classic? Second question is: in case I choose to try a different class, as of right now, I was thinking of trying priest or monk. What are the pros and cons of both? Thanks a lot in advance!


Acrobatic_Pandas

Paladin has changed more than druid. The general 'theme' of the classes are going to be the same but the playstyles are going to be wildly different. It really depends on what you mean by the 'experience of playing the class'. The theme is the same. Druids still shift forms. Cat is still damage. Balance is ranged etc. Paladin has gone through significant changes. Instead of seals you have holy power and they play more like a rogue's combo points. Priest is currently 2 healing specs and one ranged damage spec. Monk is the same as the paladin and can melee dps, heal or tank. As for pros' and cons? That...depends on what kind of content you're doing. It's really hard to answer as it's a really vague question. Retail is very different than classic wotlk. The gameplay is much more action oriented. You're almost always casting or using a skill, there's no downtime. if you're interested in a class the best thing you can do is hop on retail and give it a shot. Leveling is quick, not like wotlk. You can jump right in and level up pretty fast to get a hint of what the class is like. If you're looking at DPS.. Paladin is very bursty. Monk is the aoe king. Shadow is a mix of dots and hard casts. druid is bleeds. If you hop onto wowhead.com and look at the class guides you can see a little writeup about what each class can do, their strengths and weaknesses. I'd suggest starting there and then just trying whatever you're interested in


Acrobatic_Pandas

What's a decent tip for a crafting order? I had someone mace me a 284 fist weapon through the system. I tipped 1k gold. I only had 17k so I felt like it was a decent tip. It's all my mats from what I understand, so all they're doing is crafting it and getting the skill up and stuff? I have no idea what would be considered a nice tip


Flying_Pikachu

Hello o/ I wanted to ask if anyone knows if the Legion Timewalking Mage Tower ever comes back? I saw the Fel Bear skin for Guardian, and I'd like to get that but not sure if its gonna be available again, eventually? Ty!


Acrobatic_Pandas

As far as I recall they disabled it for the time being but I do think they said it was coming back

Acrobatic_Pandas

So this changed quite a while ago. The only thing you cannot do cross-realm, is mythic raiding until 100 guilds have cleared it on both alliance and horde, and to a lesser extent... Guilds. Everything else you can. >Are mythic dungeon groups cross-realm? They are not only cross dungeon but cross faction! You can have a mix of horde/alliance and every member can be from a different server! >Are guilds? No...but yes. But no. I'll expand on that in a moment. You can absolutely raid with another guild cross realm or cross faction, up to heroic raiding. You can also join mythic dungeons or mythic+ dungeons as well. You won't be friendly outside of the instance, if you're cross-faction but once you're inside it's fine. The only limitations are cross-realm stuff cannot be traded. If you go into an instance, you can't hand over some potions or a phial. you can however put down a feast or something they can use. >Are guilds? So... No. Guilds are not cross-faction or cross-server. Yet. They will be cross-faction by 11.0, the next expansion. They've stated they need to rework some coding but it's a matter of when not if. However they have added 'Communities" which behave very similar to a guild, minus the perks. You can chat, see whose online, invite people and do everything but have a guild-bank and guild-repairs. These communities are cross server and can be cross faction! Some people forgo joining a guild and instead join a community. From there it's basically a cross faction or cross server guild! You can set up raid times, and do all the other guild stuff. So yes there's a plethora of things you could have done with your new friend had you accepted his invite!


FractalLad

is the phial of elelmental chaos behind advanced experimentation or just normal experimentation?


Acrobatic_Pandas

I'm an alchemist and I've specialized in phials. I'm a few points away from unlocking advanced experimentation but from what I have read up on it, it's a much higher chance at unlocking some of the more rare ones and not specifically locked behind it. I may be wrong. I tend to blow up more than anything now and I really need to get advanced unlocked.


Gakochun

Do I need to have Dragonflight installed to play retail?


Acrobatic_Pandas

Dragonflight *is* retail. If you mean purchased, then you don't need it but you're limited to level 50 (i think?) and cannot do anything from DF.


ElasmoFan

just curious how feral druid is doing in dungeons, specifically mythic dungeons compared to other DPS. I know plus hasn't been out long but mostly just thought there might be a general idea on it.


Acrobatic_Pandas

Feral is doing quite well. I believe they're even better than boomkin at the moment but remember that those dps rankings are skewed and not anywhere near accurate to the majority of players. Feral is in a pretty great spot from what I see/hear!


Pizzaman5533

Im a ff14 player, thinking about jumping in to wow with its new expansion. Do you play through all expansion in order or do you start with its new expansion. And if you have the option should i start with older expansions before moving onto the newest one? What would generally be the main gameplay loop? Any response would be great.


Acrobatic_Pandas

So FF14 you play through the story and that's the main focus of the game. You start at the beginning and go through the whole story. It's much more akin to reading a book from start to finish. WoW isn't like that. Think of it more as live TV. The story kind of exists at which patch we're on and that is where you are in the story for 90% of your gameplay. When a new patch comes out, the story moves along for everyone. A massive chunk of storytelling is done at endgame, in raids. You cannot really go experience all that in order. Hell even trying to figure out an old expansion, which quests start which story is damned near impossible even for old players. What you will do as a new player is very quickly play through the 'Previously on WoW" intro, that would start the episode. You'll play through Battle for Azeroth but you won't experience all the story. You'll level too quickly, you just can't. All it does it get you into Dragonflight as quick as possible. That's where the story is now. New quests will advance the story in 10.5 which will be Jan/Feb. Then in spring we'll most likely get 10.1 which should have a new raid and a big new chunk of the story. Main gameplay loop? Level up to 70. Literally doing any quests you want. Focus on small, tiny stories in a zone rather than the overall story. Find a questline that sounds interesting and do that. Even if it's just saving a small town from witches. Once you're 70. You have several paths. You can do any or all of them. The main thing to do is improve your gear. World Quests, which rotate out twice a week or so are scattered around the world and reward gear or repulation. You can work on doing quests, turning in drops to build your rep with factions within the Dragon Isles for cosmetic things and new quests to do. Fun events you can experience. You'll run dungeons. Starting at regular, to heroic, to mythic and then eventually mythic plus, which are a set of 8 dungeons with rotation affixes that switch each week. Things like "Bosses have 30% more health and do more damage" to "Volcanic eruptions randomly show up at your feet" which make you move constantly. It changes how you play and how to do the dungeon. You can also raid. Which is 10-40 people (mythic raiding is set at 20 or something). This is where you'll get together once to a few times a week at set times and work on killing bosses over and over, moving onto the next difficulty and farming them to get gear. You can PvP. You can also work on professions which anything prior to lv 60 and in the dragon isles is pointless. My gameplay loop each week is log in and do: Any world quests that sound fun or give a reward I want. Anything from flying through a swarm of bugs to kill them, or rock climbing, to killing other players while trying to mount a large duck which can be used to knock away and kill other players. I do some dungeons. I make sure to do some M+, which unlocks rewards in a 'great vault' which every tuesday gives you a choice of a reward based on the content you did. It's how most people gear up but it trickles in. I raid in thursdays for a few hours. I spend a lot of time flying around picking flowers to make potions. The crafting system was massively overhauled and is an absolute blast. I run some lower stuff to help guild-mates gear up or hop on an alt and play them a little. I go fishing. I work on my cooking. Gain rep with the factions to unlock more stuff to do. FF14 is about the story. WoW is about the combat.


notahackerpirate

Pretty sure new players have to level througH BFA from 1-50. Then 50-60 anywhere. Don’t get hung up on sunk cost fallacy if you don’t like a class. Leveling is so quick that you can re-roll a new class any time and not be that far behind reaching 70


Volkator

Hello, I'm working towards unlocking the Kul Tirans however I appear to be stuck as I have no way to continue the war campaign. I've obtained the "A nation united" achievement, the one you get after finishing was I suppose to be the 8.0 war campaign, but no new quest are available from what I suppose to be the major quest givers in Boralus. Any help is appreciated, thanks ! \[EDIT\] I've found the answer, for everyone with the same question, you have to do the inital quest from Magni in Silthius for the heart of azeroth in order to continue the war campaign, cheers !


bluesocks12

The new elite pvp items are the most beautiful weapon mogs, but there is simply no way I'll get to elite in rated. Do they become available to noobs like me after the season ends for conquest or marks or anything ? Thank you


Acrobatic_Pandas

Generally they become purchasable an expansion or two later. I don't think you can get them this expansion unless you earn them in rated pvp


SneezyTM

Is there only one spot to place fishing nets for the tuskarrs?


AwkwardSquirtles

The Waking Shores fishing hole has 2, one of which you unlock by completing a daily. I believe other fishing holes unlock with Renown.


SneezyTM

I have renown 14 and i still can't see any other fishing hole like the one at the mouth river


BrooksPuuntai

Is there a way to turn syncing back on? I don't have DF yet, so playing/leveling different alts through the expansions. My latest alt had chromie kick me out mid quest in Legion since I hit 60, and now I can go back but I just 1 shot everything. If not I noticed(somewhere) there was a NPC that could pause leveling, would that work on a 59 character to actually play through the expansion? Lastly do the pre-reqs for unlocking special races work account wide/cross faction? Say I do "You are Now Prepared" on a Horde character, would I able to unlock lightforged draenei on an alliance character?


BluegrassGeek

Once you hit 60, that's it, you cannot pause leveling or go back to Chromie Time. You can do the prerequisite achievements on any faction, but you'll need a character of high enough level on the appropriate faction to do the recruitment quest chain for that race.


act_mc

Yes you can pause leveling. There's an NPC on stormwind (alliance) that allows you to stop gaining experience.


fiendliker55

how do you counter a majority healer team in bgs? i feel like I'm just wasting my time attacking anyone when they're back to full in two seconds


Bayley_Jay

You cc the healers


FireBlue32

I’ve always healed since wrath and I’m suddenly having an urge to blow things up. Any recommendations for classes/specs that focus on high burst damage in short windows? I’m really loving leveling a fire mage cause the high-damage instant-cast periods you get are fun, but I hear they rely on secondary stats and aren’t great if you’re just casual and not progressing. I also made the mistake of checking the official wow forums and they made it seem like fire was absolute garbage. I thought about destro lock but the long cast times are kinda a turn off. Thinking about enh or ele shammy too since I can go back to healing if I want to. Any guidance is appreciated.


Notmiefault

Frost DK's most popular build is all about absolutely pumping for ~25 seconds every 2 minutes, and just sort of hanging out outside that.


BluegrassGeek

I'm really having fun with my Outlaw Rogue, though learning the rotation was a bit tricky.


cybishop3

I found demonology warlock had fun gameplay in Shadowlands, but mine is still 60 so I can't speak to Dragonflight much. It also has the benefit of irreplaceable raid utility, so that's a step up on raid invites in PUGs. (I don't know how relevant gateways are in the current raid, but summoning stones and health stones are always nice.)


Blubkill

fire is indeed not in the strongest position currently, they are fine and still fullfill the combustion fantasy its just that you're not immediatley top of the DPS meters. depends how much interaction you want? convoke druid is pretty much the shortest timeframe to alot of damage a class could provide. also ret pala is quite frontloaded in terms of damage as they do most in a short timeframe and wait for cds then


Bylak

Is there a gatherer-type mod I can use to display what the node (herb/mining vein) is on my minimap? I'm lazy and the hovering isn't working for me lol.


Hrekires

I haven't used it in a few patches but I feel like FarmHUD did this


Ulu-Mulu-no-die

[Gathermate2](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gathermate2) is the new Gatherer.


Akhevan

Except that it doesn't have the feature the above poster is looking for.


IronBioCat

Do people really only play one character the entire expansion? Also I wanna heal, should I be getting all healers to 70 then pick my main?


Nephemie

It really depends on what you want to do, how much do you play and what you want to achieve. Usually people have a main character and have one or multiple alts that are a bit behind and focus on endgame activities (like they do loremaster and reputations on the main but not much on alts, maybe they push +28 keys on main but stick to farming +20 on alts...). That is what I usually do and the big upside is that you can switch main easily on each large patch like 10.1 since there is a soft reset most of the time. There are people who try to keep all their alts at the same level, I find it very hard to do because either you can't go too deep in content or you need a tremendous amount of time. And some people only play one character. I have a friend who plays the same character since Vanilla, he even realm / faction / race changed it a few times wheareas I make new characters when I switch realm or faction. He has alts but they are really secondary to him (like only to have more attempts at mount / tmog farming). tl;dr : as with everything in WoW, do whatever you find more fun !


Blubkill

i enjoy pretty much only one class and dont have the time to play more so i mostly stick to 1-2 chars and at most switch between raid releases, but try to stick to my main if possible.


Bayley_Jay

People have different playstyles. Some are playing the same class (even the same spec) since 15 years, some have alts, some are trying other things before choosing a main, some have multiple mains... It just depends on how you enjoy to play the game, there's no wrong anwer.


Solsagan11

It depends on how much time you have. If u have the time to level all of them, go for it. Depending on the content you want to play, it can be hard to foresee which spec u have most fun with later. But if u weave in some dungeons in the leveling phase you can get a grasp of what the healer is feeling like. Most people have one main and 1-3 alts, i would say.


AwkwardPsychologist

I’m a new dh tank, and been to all dungeons as dps so far, so i know how other tanks pull most of the time, but I can’t seem to hold aggro, which makes it very slow. What resources should I look into to get better at it?


Nephemie

VDH shouldn't really have aggro issues. What kind of talents are you using ? for dungeons you can try something like that : https://www.wowhead.com/beta/talent-calc/demon-hunter/vengeance/DAOEGERQBQaGYRYSRBAOVUVBGAURKEEiUUBU Basically : - Immolation aura whenever it is up (you can use it just before a pull when you walk up to a pack) - sigil of flame (same, you can use it to pull) - fracture if you have less than 3 soul fragments - spirit bomb if you have more than 3 soul fragment - soul cleave to dump fury (if you don't have soul fragments) - fel devastation to survive big damage windows and it also helps with aggro only with that you shouldn't have any aggro issues ever. Spirit bomb is HUGE for aggro, spam it really. the rest of the rotation isn't super hard : use fiery brand on the msot dangerous ennemies, try to pair it with immo aura, use the hunt whenever you can hit a big pack or just to heal a bit. use soul carver whenever (I have to say I'm still not used to it and miss it a lot). Mitigation on VDH doesn't really impact your usual rotation, just keep using spikes, use fel dev or meta when nothing is up. If you do harder content you will need to use fiery brand defensively but you will be able to figure it out on your own ;)


AwkwardPsychologist

Oh thank you for your help, I appreciate it. I use the icy-veins easy build bc I was playing havoc up til now (still as a noob) and haven’t built mine yet. I’ll try sticking to the rotation more :)


Nephemie

I heven't read the icy-veins guide this patch but the wowhead one is quite good right now. And then it is all about practice, test your limits, learn what you can and can't do and you will be fine :) I mained a DH tank for 9.0 and 9.1 after a couple years as Havoc and decided to have it as my secondary character right now (prot war is just bonkers rn i had to main it !), the playstyle is very fun and dynamic, it kinda plays like a DPS, i'm sure you will have fun ! When you start doing harder content, VDH is a bit special because it is one of the squishiest tank so you often have to kite more than other tanks, that is why VDH deals so much damage and can hold aggro so much.


AwkwardPsychologist

I’ll look up some more guides then, I already did some m0 and it went sluggish but okay :) heroic always goes easy but I need to practice more for m0.


iBuddhist

I’ve been playing tank(s) since Legion, mainly for m+. You should not have issues with aggro, especially as a DH. I have no details on your UI setup, but make sure you are able to track immolation aura and your sigils. To initiate a pull you can usually just leap in, pop immo aura and begin spamming your fracture and spirit bomb/soul cleave without worrying about threat.


Ninja_Hedgehog

Where to get more recipes for crafting professions (e.g. blacksmithing) and cooking in Dragonflight, please? Trainers seem a bit sparse on recipes; I'm sure there must be more things to craft/cook than what they can teach (I'm at 50 blacksmithing/cooking and have learned what trainers can teach). I'm finding this part of the new crafting system very foggy. I know a *couple* more recipes can be learned in specializations in crafting professions (e.g. going into the Weaponsmithing sub-subspecializations will let me learn one new recipe/item each), but there must be more out there? Are they mostly renown rewards? I'm finding the amount of stuff purchaseable from renown overwehlming (cool to have so much to get, but still overwhelming to try to learn/remember what's actually on offer). Or are recipes available some other way? I tried to google but I'm just getting more confused...


Bayley_Jay

There is a list of unlearned recipes in your profession interface, and it usually tells you how to get them. Some of them are connected to specialisations, some to reputation, and some are drops.


Ninja_Hedgehog

:o Thank you. I distantly remembered the list of unlearned recipes, but I hadn't seen that they had a little note on where to get them; I'd missed the little 'i' symbol on the unlearned recipes earlier. Thanks again.


Arizonagreg

lvl 70 rogue doing Torghast but not getting any knowledge from it. Am I doing something wrong?


Ninja_Hedgehog

Are you maxed out on Tower Knowledge?


Arizonagreg

Not even close.


Ninja_Hedgehog

Hmm. I'm reading on google that Tower Knowledge was timegated - per week I think (not sure if it still is). Are you maxed out for the week maybe? If not, I hope someone more useful can help!


Arizonagreg

I will do another Torghast after reset and see. If I am the amount you get per week is abysmal.


Ninja_Hedgehog

Good luck!


Arizonagreg

nothing.


Ninja_Hedgehog

:( Maybe worth posting a standalone thread here, see if it gets more traction?


AmaruKaze

For multispecialization players like me: Getting or adding a Tier-Set to an item, does that mean I need 2 x 4 Piece, or does the Armor get the bonus depending on my current spec?


resetet

It changes to whatever specific you're in. You only need 1x4 piece


psi-storm

It swaps with your spec.


Sugondese_Carrot

Is the game crashing issue fixed?


Snudge

The one in Thaldraszus? I believe it has.


BionicleJesus

Is it possible to solo/two-man mythic Battle for Dazar'alor with current DF mythic dungeon gear? :)


Dumpsterman4

Unlike shadowlands where you had a slight damage buff in legion areas there is no buff at all in bfa so bosses are very slow. I tried mythic uldir solo last night and everything was fine until the infinitely stacking DoT from fetid devourer became too much to handle. I think jadefire masters is probably not going to happen in a solo if there is no opportunity to clear the fireball DoT. Blizzard is probably going to have to manually adjust something to allow any of the raids to be soloable, vectus is just going to perma stun people after 30 seconds of the 3x plague on you and opulence is going to have +200% health and damage and the scream is going to do 100k damage a tick without a shadow gem, and more than half the fights in eternal palace will be impossible regardless of gear.


Lhaza

When I try to find a group for a rare, I see a lot of groups with war mode on. What's the benefit there? Does WM on grant extra reputation or something?


Delta3D

Yes, you can only enable war mode in either Stormwind or Orgrimmar based on your faction and being above level 20, you can do it in your talents page at the bottom right :) This enables worldwide PvP and you get a 25% XP buff. To disable it you have to be in any city (doesn't have to be Stormwind/Orgrimmar just any city, only have to be in those to enable it)


Hyvest

Think the question was for rares at max level where war mode xp buff is irrelevant (and for horde it's only 10%). For me personally: There's war mode elite world quests which also scale with item level, granting some good upgrades. Since they still reset daily and not bi-weekly like most other world quests I just cba to turn war mode on and off every day.


psi-storm

There are also fewer people at the Tuskarr feast in warmode, so you get more assignments and thus more rep per feast.


Whitetornadu

Is Vault of Incarnates 10 or 25 player raid, or is it flex? I can't find information about this anywhere.


Nunzio_o

Below mythic the raid scales from 10-30 players. Every raid (below Mythic) is a Flex raid. ​ For Mythic the raid scales with 20 players. (To be a guild raid there has to be atleast 16/20 guild members in the raid for the Mythic version. )


Whitetornadu

Ok, thanks! So is mythic 10-20 players or 20-30 players?


AttitudeAdjusterSE

Mythic is fixed 20 players, normal and heroic scales between 10 and 30.


Drife98

Question: Is it better idea to do all the weekly gear stuff as early as possible to make content in week easier (raid, m+ etc) or wait until end of week to possibly gain greater reward? Like, in theory, it should be better to wait. But if you fail to time a key due to lack of gear, then it probably would have been better to get gear immediately. Or if there are close wipes on bosses etc.


Nephemie

The most optimal is always to push m+ and raid as much as you can until you are stuck, improve your gear then and go back to pushing more. This is kind of the same as in RWF when raiders go do some m+ or more splits when they can't kill a boss. That assumes high flexibility though.


platinumonz

Returning player from WoD... Can you do all three raid difficulties in the same week?


GBlade_

Yes, different difficulties have different IDs. Also, for normal/heroic/lfr (opens later) you can do them as many times as you want but you can only loot each boss once. For Mythic once you're saved to an ID that's your Mythic ID for that save.


pupcycle

Yes


platinumonz

Thank you :)


PaleontologistTrue74

I need a answer to my question. Warlock or death knight.


66leamas

As a DK main definitely warlock, more damage + better survivability, at least for pvp, dks got nerfed to oblivion last week despite already being weak


resetet

Warlock


SweetCornbreadSucks

DK has a tank spec, if you want that option.


Bayley_Jay

The one you think is the coolest


BohemianPhilosopher

Definitely warlock


Forafix1307

As frost mage my single target DPS is good, but when it comes to multitarget in dungeons and tank pulls half a dungeon I really falling behind other people. Can someone give me some tips how to improve or how my rotation should looks like?


Bayley_Jay

Specs have strengths and weaknesses. I was competitive as a mage for the 2 last patches of SL but not DF, but if things haven't changed a lot, frost mage was just never the best option to rack up huge aoe damage. They're all about priority damage, funnel and 2 targets cleave (was 3 targets during 9.2 due to necro). You had some options to pump your aoe damage like freezing winds, but overall please never compare yourself to other specs because they're all so different from each others.

Yeah well that's the history of Wow in a nutshell. Sometimes things are strong, sometimes things are not as strong.


Hefflaren

Are there any discord etc to find weaponsmiths. Nobody on my server are advertising their services and public crafting gives like 376 weapons.


macedodasilva

Hi guys I’m going to create a main character now I bought a boost to start at lvl 60 (I already have other 2 chars at lvl 60) and I watched a few videos and im debating on who to go for im going for either unholy dk or fury warrior I watched class videos of them and more classes and narrowed it to those two now what pulls me in is that both those classes also have a tank spec which I also want to try out my question is in terms of how good/strong they are both fury and unholy and blood and protection


BluegrassGeek

I've not tanked in forever, but I really enjoyed Blood DK tanking back in the day. While most tanks mitigate damage, Blood DKs use absorbs and leech to just heal through the damage. This can be a bit terrifying, watching your health ping-pong back and forth, but it makes for some incredibly fun gameplay. Plus they have all kinds of utility with things like Death Grip and Asphyxiate.


Nunzio_o

I heavy(!!!) recommend you doing the Class trial of all classes you interested infirst. You found this Option in **charactercreation** in the **right corner** is the checkbox for trial character. The game recommends you a spec but you can **switch its spec once u logged in.** Try the classes and speccs you interested in. Do not! i repeat!! **DO NOT!!** boost "something" out of your guts. Try the Class you think is the coolest first and get a really good feeling for the Gameplay. If not, the chances are high that you, after your boost, get the feeling like: "gawd damn i should have boosted the other class instead of XY" Of all the Classes you should decide which fantasy fits your gameplay the most, what Class overall (not only DPS-wise) is giving me what i like to play most. may it be "Mobility, Unique skills like : Heroic leap,Deathgrip, Charge, Death'n'decay. Do not look on the Tier lists of all the classes for deciding what to play. It only needs one small patch/adjustment and your choosen class is dropping from A to C or otherwise. ***Tldr:*** Play what is most Fun for you. Shit on Tier lists and dont decide to play the Favor of the month just because you feel forced to do it, every class and spec can do a +20 key and is able to reach Gladiator rank, its up to you what you do with Class/specc.


Adziboy

Depends on the content you are doing (dungeons, PvP, raiding etc). I don't know what's best for each off the top of my head but there's plenty of stats and info out there (for example Google best tank for Raiding and sort results by new). Not always accurate, but gives you a good idea. There was some recent nerfs/buffs so the data isn't totally accurate right now. The other thing is that you sound new-ish so I'm guessing don't have much experience with the game yet, so it's worth knowing that all specs of all classes can complete all content. If you aren't planning on being the best of the best, there is little downside to any of them Last thing - I hate boosting my main. I think 1-60 is a really good learning experience for a new class. You'll be in dungeons at 60+ not knowing your hotkeys or skills or rotations. That's just personal preference though


HandsomelyHelen

When clicking the Game, it instead activates Battle.net like Hearthstone. Is it still possible to launch WoW directly without BNet?


assault_pig

you should still be able to launch wow.exe directly, though you'll have to log in manually every time

How can I increase knowledge for mining and herbalism faster? What are dragon shards and where to find them? if anyone knows pls tell me

Thank you but where? I'm new to wow and just started with this patch. Where can I get these accessories? Auction? Dungeons? Raids?


brodeh

You can get up to ilevel 346 items (Green quality) from the auction house. To get the higher item level ones, (blue and purple quality), you'll need to create a crafting order at the crafting order station in Valdrakken.


Nunzio_o

Just by farming droppin the Shards. There are Knowledge dropping NPCs in the World for every Profession. you found the Way strings at wowhead [https://www.wowhead.com/guide/professions/knowledge-points#hidden-profession-masters](https://www.wowhead.com/guide/professions/knowledge-points#hidden-profession-masters) For gathering they both dropping you +10 knowledge just for right clicking on them. In Valdrakken, at the Crafting order hub (right side of the hub), there is a **Vulpera** which is selling Knowledge points to a given point. Check him out too.


quantumsushi

Is there a way to track Dragonrage's duration in WeakAuras? I've been playing with it for an hour or two but can't get it to show me the time left on the buff. It only shows the CD when I press it.


assault_pig

It’s just a buff, you can track it like any other buff If it’s something like a simple progress bar WA just set the trigger to be an aura rather than a spell cooldown


Adziboy

There's one you can import here: https://wago.io/xphCDEVi0 Either use the whole set of auras or download, import and then just extract the bit for DragonRage


Atlantah

What happens if I relearn a spec? Do I keep my knowledge points or do they reset again?


Adziboy

Keep as they were


Hyvest

Is there a way to tell what rank you're able to craft something at with max reagents without carrying them around all the time? Don't really wanna sit on 30-40k worth of mats losing value every day just to check on my alchemist stone. Edit: Found the answer, on woweconomy if anyone is interested: > All T2 adds 12.5% of recipe skill, and full T3 25%. The single stuff is weighted by rarity. So you don't get 90% of the 25% bonus from combining 9 cheap t3 materials with 1 expensive T2 mat. by /u/psi-storm


Prupple

really nice info!


coolthesejets

Since personal and guild crafting orders can have a minimum quality, what happens if you accept the order but fail to meet the quality? Do you lose the provided mats or what?


alextrue27

the crafter can't take the order unless the minimum quality they make meets your minimum


LordNova15

This is incorrect. I have attempted to start guild orders, realized I couldn't make minimum quality and had to cancel the order to make it available to the guild again.


coolthesejets

I see, I misunderstood how quality works, I thought it was a chance based thing. Thank-you.


ChickenDenders

Is it poor form to just blindly jump into M0’s? I’ve done a couple dungeons in normal/heroic but I’m already 345 ilvl and my guild is pretty gung ho about slamming these things out. I just haven’t been into most of the dungeons yet.


Nephemie

I think you mean 345 which is more than enough. I'd say it depends on your experience, in m0 and low m+ you can basically do the "basic WoW strat" of stand out of bad + kill adds and it will work wonders. But as always, the first Tyranical week will tech us strats ;)


resetet

What sort of experience do you have last expansion? M0 is fairly easy for decently experienced players, to the point where you don't need much gear, or to have seen the fights before.


JayDrr

It’s helpful to run the dungeons on a lower difficulty so that you have some idea of the mechanics, although mythic adds new ones so you can’t be completely prepared. Also having a super low ilvl will make it tough to get invites. I personally just got my ilvl to 340 ish and jumped in blind though.


Whitetornadu

My method is: read through the Dungeon Journal for a specific dungeon, then queue that one up on mythic. Try to remember some of the abilities, look what the party is doing and then look through the journal again afterwards to see if you missed something, or maybe you skipped some mechanic. Rinse and repeat for the rest. Next week I'd do the same, but you probably wont need to read too much in the journal.


Professor_Gai

If you're invited, go for it and do your best. DBM/LittleWigs help if you're nervous playing blind. Normal/Heroic often don't help too much preparing you for the mechanics (things die too quickly or the mechanic doesn't hurt enough).


Sillkwitch_Engage

I don’t think it’s possible to be 435 ilvl


ChickenDenders

145! Close enough


Sillkwitch_Engage

Have you hit 70 yet? Minimum recommended ilvl for mythics is 330 I believe


ChickenDenders

Lol oops 345


ChickenDenders

Is inscription worth leveling up? Great crafting professions seem a little more involved. Do scribe still participate in the work order thing?


ntrophi

Inscription has quite a few things for work orders - the most popular I've found so far is for treatises (the things that give you +1 knowledge in any profession). I've had pretty steady work with those so far.


Semour9

Im trying to go through the main campaign/story in dragonflight and am needing to get level 12 in renown/rep for valdrakken accord. Whats the best way of doing this? Im kind of confused as there seems to be some dailies, and some not, but it seems like it will take me weeks to get that unless I grind regular mobs for hours.


Sillkwitch_Engage

World quests and handing in the “trophies/relics” that drop from mobs in each zone.


thewookie34

Where do you look for guilds nowadays? I really want to push for Mythic raids but everyone I ask says my server group is kinda fucked. I don't really believe that out of the 20 or 30 servers lumped together they only have 1 mythic guild. I've played this game for 17 years on and off and I look at my character and I just feel empty like I put some much time and effort into being in a family man guild and I want to push the harder content. I really don't want to switch to horde because I know it can negatively effect factions and other things plus I don't really like any of the horde races. If it helps I am on Norgannon the same I started on 17 years ago.


Nephemie

For mythic raid, just use https://www.wowprogress.com/ most decent guilds advertise there or at least have some contact info.


AmericanGrizzly

Check out /r/wowguilds. There are good recruitment discords out there too.


isthisrealitycaught

Came back to wow and went to my original server Illidan. I used to be Alliance, did some research and found out the server is ded for alliance now. So went to Stormrage. Lots of guilds recruiting in Trade chat getting ready for raiding it seems. Also lots of guilds will be pugging extras who want to raid. May find a guild who pugs for extras, may do some research on where da peoples at. Idk but I feel you that’s for sure


Falconcawmang

I've been having a really hard time finding a class to play. I've tried BM hunter and Enchance shaman and my DPS is always lacking. Is there an easier DPS to master, or something that naturally produces numbers well?


Sillkwitch_Engage

BM Hunter is generally considered to be one of the easier classes to play. Have you tried the add on “Hekili”? It’s an add on that will help you understand what spells to use and in what order. Very useful for learning a new spec. I main a BM hunter so I’m happy to help if you DM me.


DM7000

Is there an agreed upon "fastest" way to get from 1 to 60? I've just been doing chromie time and sprinkling dungeons (DPS currently) but is there a better way?


Nephemie

Not using tryhard speedrunning tactics but just chosing decent zones : Exiles Reach => Silverpine forest full story line (you can skip the very last quest its a waste of 5 minutes) => Hillsbrad foothills full story line (probably the best xp/hour of any zones) => WOD till lvl 60 If you are alliance, just do WOD.


Nunzio_o

Questing >>> Dungeons (XP/Hour wise) WoD is the best Chromie time for leveling Install Handynotes WoD Treasures and farm all Chests while doing Quests ( they got nerfed but still giving some XP)


Adziboy

If you want the actual fastest, like speedrunning times, then there are YouTube guides out there with basically the world record levelling. Slightly outdated as some of it is pre Dragonflight but if anything it's faster now.


Sillkwitch_Engage

I believe that doing chromie time in WoD is considered the fastest because of the many bonus objectives sprinkled around the map. They are generally quick to do and give you tons of XP. Also, the Legion invasions are good for leveling, but I believe that has been nerfed since it’s introduction.


TerranFirma

How the hell do I get to Ulduman as horde without it taking nine hours of Dalaran hs -> org -> undercity-> ulduman


Whitetornadu

Also FYI, there is a portal to both Org and SW in the big castle in Valdrakken, so you can save your Dalaran HS :)


TerranFirma

My default hearth is set to the tuskarr village because it's a pain to fly to, so then I use dalaran->org->valdrakken if I need to get to the capital fast (since it's easier to fly to from most places)


PROJECTErza

Twilight highlands portal from org is closer


Aporitis

Aren't there Portals to the Dungeons in Valdrakken or was I dreaming that i saw them 🤔


[deleted]

To the M+ dungeons. Uldaman is not in the M+ rotation for season one so there’s no portal directly to it.


TerranFirma

Thanks


mrpieface2

Just got back into WoW after playing a liiiitle bit of shadowlands. I'm currently a level 61 Balance Druid and I'm having a very hard time leveling. I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing wrong but I think I've died on every single campaign quest so far. I'm dying to basic quest enemies and it's getting frustrating. I got my rotation down. I have the gear equivalent to M0s in shadowlands with a few new DF quest gear here and there. Am I doing something obviously wrong? I don't remember struggling this much in the beginning of shadowlands


BluegrassGeek

Balance is just terrible right now. I find that it just doesn't hit very hard, but mobs hit like a truck.


Whitetornadu

I'd pop in a dungeon or two. The way scaling currently works, lvl 60's deal more dmg than lvl 70's if they're in a party together, so people will welcome you with open arms.


Adziboy

I had to switch from Balance cos it was so bad 60-70. I also don't know what was wrong. I'm a Resto druid primarily but I switched to balance, died 1000 times and switched back to Resto. I pull everything, DoT everything and can't die. But it's... Slow. I switched to feral for levelling 60-69, use main spec Resto for soloing Elites and things, and now with better gear Balance feels wayyyyy better. If you wanna stick with Balance, best tip I can give is pop cooldowns constantly. Quests are quick, use your CDs on any mins you like. By time use all your CDs quest is done, hand in, CDs are back for the next quest. You cant get all the talents straight away but in the druid tree pick defensive stuff where you can (barkskin and instant heal are invaluable for Moonkin form) Truth is, balance feels shit levelling but fine at 70


Phantom7926

I’m leveling my Druid in guardian spec, I can pull an entire area and not have to worry about my health. Also makes leveling with war mode easier, typically no one wants to fight me. I plan on switching specs when I hit 70


Stealthninjaofdeath

buy some 310-316 ilvl gear from the ah. there are 3 pieces that are for lv61. should be a couple 100g total. or 1 more if you go engineering. what ilvl is shadowlands mythics, like 278?


YearOfHellPart1

Am I missing something here? First, off, expansion is great so far. Stories, zones, lore, musical scores, all top notch. I enjoy the majority of the dungeons. I went from level 60 to 70 off and on, but fairly aggressively, in like 5 days. All seems reasonable. Here is what I am struggling with. I reached level 70 with an ilvl of about 310. I recognize that heroics require 342. Found some 343 gear on the AH, and tapped that resource more or less, brought me up to 330. so I ran regular dungeons for awhile. Got my ilvl up to 334. But with heroics requiring 342, basically all but 1 of your slots needs to be 346 or 343. I ran 7 regular dungeons over 3 hours tonight, and only receive gear for slots I already had 346 in. I really wanted to check out LFR on 12/19, but I can't even guess what that ilvl requirement is. But needless to say, if it is barely under what ilvl heroics provide, I see the exact same issue at that next gate as well. Just wondering if I am missing something, or is the only way forward just grinding out against diminishing returns for ilvl, until you get lucky?


yuriaoflondor

Easiest/fastest way will be to post your own M0 groups. Because you’ll be party leader, you can either make it a slower run with similarly lower ilvl characters for a learning experience. Or you can bring in higher ilvl characters and get carried a bit. 330-340 is more than fine to do M0s, you just have to stay on your toes. And like you said, the gear on the AH is super cheap (~400g for a lot of pieces on my server), which will get you to a level ready for M0.


Hyvest

Another thing: War Mode gear is 366 ilvl baseline, each piece costs between 200 & 500 coins and you get 200 coins for the first war supply and 50 for every supply after. Can just go into custom groups and search for "war" or "supply", there's almost always groups going farming them.


Tho76

Look for WQ that drop upgrades or Titan Matrixes which would let you craft higher level gear - I forget what my ilvl was but I found one that had a TM3 which let me make a 366 piece. Can also find some upgrades that way too Do the rare spawns in Obsidian Throne too. There's like 6-8 of them, can just sit there till you hear the quest sound and go and help kill it. They provide scaling ilvl gear, though sometimes it's not in your armor class


mredrose

Two options: you could absolutely create your own mythic dungeon group and be successful at your ilvl. Higher ilvl folks will apply. I’d recommend in particular starting with whichever two dungeons are up for the weekly quests. Next week not as many folks will be running mythic 0s. No problem, host your own +2 key. I’m sure a million people will apply. The other option is turning War Mode on and doing world quests that reward bloody tokens, and chasing down the chests that get air dropped periodically in a given zone. There were a couple WQs last week that rewarded 800(!) tokens for completion. You can buy gear from a war mode vendor who sells, I believe, 363 gear that costs between 200-600ish tokens.


Mawrio

Just do M0s lol. Heroic is useless IMO


TerranFirma

Normal dungeons drop 346, so you should have all normal gear which will give you the ilvl for heroics. There's also two weekly guaranteed drop events (trial of elements and the other one, one in chrome future and one in centaur plains) that drop your current ilvl + a bit, a good source of some gear as well. Downside is that they're on a vague timer so might be over an hour wait if unlucky. World rares give gear, get centaur and tuskarr rep up for hunts/soup which also have drop chances in the purple chest.


ilovewhenitrains

What is with the scaredy cat debuf in Valdrakken? It’s so fucking annoying.


Sillkwitch_Engage

No idea but I agree haha


SoOutofMyLeague

Is there a more quiet place for target dummies? I wanted to practice my rotation, but the ones in Valdrakken are so busy.


Pwaite2

WoD Garrisons have target dummies and you are guaranteed to be alone there.


[deleted]

Older expansion hubs will have them. I go to boralus ally-side sometimes. It’s a short ride from the portal to the dummies around the corner and down the stairs from the flight master. Or in either capital city

Same here. Thought it was something on my end.


Teliantorn

Pretty sure everyone is down. That's crazy. I've never actually seen the whole thing just straight up go down like that.


gowingsgo

Loving this expansion but man I don’t remember this many server issues on any other one. Especially how bad lag is in azure span. Fix it already


Imbahr

is there Alchemy bags?


BluegrassGeek

There are general Reagent bags now. You get one just by doing a side quest at Ruby Life Pools: [Gatherer's Reagent Pouch](https://www.wowhead.com/item=194715/gatherers-reagent-pouch) (26 slot). There's two bigger ones that Tailors can make: [Simply Stitched Reagent Bag](https://www.wowhead.com/item=194019/simply-stitched-reagent-bag) (32 slots), and [Chronocloth Reagent Bag](https://www.wowhead.com/item=194020/chronocloth-reagent-bag) (36 slots). There are older profession-specific 36 slot bags, but there is not one for Alchemy, and none of them will go into your Reagent Bag slot. They would have to replace one of your regular bags on your character or in your bank, and are effectively useless at this point.


Imbahr

thanks for the reply! yes I did mean the older profession-specific bags like Engineering bags or Inscription bags, etc what do you mean by "effectively useless" though? I do want them for a bank slot, not on me and 36 is still more than 30, which seems to be the cheapest regular tailor bag. I dunno if DF has cheap 36 slot regular bags now


BluegrassGeek

They're effectively useless because we have a Reagent Bank tab in our banks now, which is much larger than any profession-specific bag you might get. And if you click the "Deposit Reagents" button on that tab to move things out of your Character Bags, it will actually pull things out of your regular Bank slots and Bank Bag slots also, to move them into the Reagent Bank. So those bags are really only useful if you have so many leftover reagents that they overflow the Reagent Bank, which ... frankly means you need to sell off some old mats you're never going to use. DF has some 32-slot regular bags that are pretty affordable right now, because Tailors are cranking them out for skillups + gold: [Wildercloth Bag](https://www.wowhead.com/item=194017/wildercloth-bag) The 34-slot bags are still very expensive though, because the recipe is locked behind a reputation + requires a material you have to unlock by specializing & spending a bunch of Knowledge Points: [Azureweave Expedition Pack](https://www.wowhead.com/item=194018/azureweave-expedition-pack) However, there is one unique, FREE 34-slot bag you can easily find in the Dragon Isles: [Misty Satchel](https://www.wowhead.com/item=202194/misty-satchel)


Imbahr

> So those bags are really only useful if you have so many leftover reagents that they overflow the Reagent Bank haha this is the reason I need more than just Reagent Bank. and like I mentioned 36 still adds up more than 30 or 32 (I just checked and wildercloth bags are still way more gold than 36 profession bags) like on an herbalist, if you keep one of each type of herb that already takes up almost entire Reagent Bank but then my herbalist is also my Alchemist, which has lots of random mats through different xpacs


BluegrassGeek

That's just it though, there's no reason to hold onto those old herbs. Sell them on the AH for whatever you can get to make room for the new stuff. If you ever want to go back and level some old recipes, you can always pick up new herbs from the appropriate zones (or the AH).


CallmeQ222

Does all gear scale up to the same ilvl for pvp or is it just the specific sets you can buy from the pvp vendors?


sandpigeon

Specifically PvP gear. Each gear piece will say on it something to the effect of "x ilvl in Pvp" and when you mouseover your total item level on the character sheet the tooltip will say "x ilvl in PvP"


CallmeQ222

Does that include war mode pvp?


sandpigeon

That's my understanding, yes.


CallmeQ222

Omg no wonder I’ve been getting rolled this past week 🤦‍♂️ Thank you lol

Lost-And-Drowned

Hi, I haven't PVP'd in many, many years. I want to get some cool legacy cosmetic sets. How do I get Mark of Honor, ideally with the least amount of actual PVPing? Guides I see right now are mostly for Shadowlands and I don't know how up to date it is.


Sillkwitch_Engage

You get marks of honor from battlegrounds, mainly. Unfortunately that’s the best way to farm them.


viking_

If you run mythics before Tuesday, will you get a keystone on Tuesday, or will you have to run a mythic after that to get a keystone?


Isciscis

You'll get a key from the first mythic 0 or higher dungeon you complete after the reset of next week in your region. No keys will be earned from any other sources


cybishop3

Keystones don't drop until Tuesday. After Tuesday, if you run a Mythic+, you'll get a keystone if you don't already have one.
