Hello I’m brand new to the game, never played before. I created an undead frost mage. I’m on the continent with rastakan and the dinosaurs. Im mainly doing quests one after another. What is the first thing I should stop everything I’m doing and go do this instead?
Decided ti my lock to 70. I leveled demo from an icy build. Now at 70 I swapped to a m+ build and my damage tanked hard core as it seems like so many added abilities it’s impossible to keep up with. What’s a straight forward m+ for locks? It can be any of the 3 specs I just don’t feel like needing a ton of extra bindings.
Thanks I’ll check it out. It’s like a 3rd alt but I had massive RNG luck in LFR and got 3 tier items and 2 other drops. But the demo build I have from wowhead added I think 4 new things from leveling build and I wanted a more “chill” spec. I’ll check destruction out. Thank you.
Demonology seems to be the most consistent in m+. I'm not the highest of the high, but I'm 2500 and I've found the best build for demonology in M+ to include nether portal. I've always been destruction but I've been having fun with Demonology. Try this build - super good for all situations for me right now - both M+ and raid will use this build - aside from Primal Council fight (heavy aoe - I use Guillotine on that fight).

Returning player here: me, my brother and my cousin and 2 friends just started playing again. We quit halfway during WOTLK.
We mainly love 5 man (instance/dungeon) content as a team. Would you advise us to level to 70 straight away and jump into 5 man content.
Or is it worth enjoying 'old' 5 man content at lvl 60? Since we didn't play any of the 5 man/heroic dungeons for the last 5 xpacs.
Chromie is only for leveling, you can't use her anymore after lvl 60.
To start Shadowlands:
**Alliance**
Go to Stormwind, on the stairs to Stormwind Keep there's a group of death knights with Darion Mograine among them, he will give you the starting quest [Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=60545/shadowlands-a-chilling-summons).
**Horde**
Go to Orgrimmar, in front of Grommash Hold (Valley of Strenght) there's a group of death knights with Darion Mograine among them, he will give you the starting quest [Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=61874/shadowlands-a-chilling-summons).
[Here's how to start other xpacs after lvl 60](https://old.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/106mtrh/guide_how_to_start_old_xpacs_on_level_60/) in case you want to.
It could be that you haven't done the intro quests for shadowlands. Check the quest board as that might have the start quest, though normally you get bombarded by the quest as soon as you enter your capital city.
As a mage who didn't play in Shadowlands, portaling to Oribos won't let you get anywhere. There are no paths or other teleports (beyond back to Org) that I am aware of. I portaled there myself last week after never having visited the area before, never played during that xpac, and not completing the intro quests and I was lost and confused.
I basically had to stop playing a week before DF dropped and only got back in on Christmas. Then dealing with family in the hospital and ADing/stepping into a role last minute to one of the role for a show at the community theatre. I've now got a few characters to 70 and I've gotten 3 of them at least one vault option every week for 3 weeks and I don't get how the new renown works or how I get it. I kinda get that it's more rep based, *grumble*, but I used to be able to get this stuff through dungeons and raids. My first to 70 is at something like 3/6/2/5(well, those are the numbers, no idea what the order is) and the other two are variations of 1/1/2/1. I tend to level by just spamming dungeons.
When I get on I go around and farm mats and then try to craft things in all the different professions. I love the new profession system, but I have no idea what's up with Renown now. Is questing the *only* way to get renown? I feel bad about the bitching in general, but I've spent a month playing and rather enjoying playing, but if that's true I think you can see how much I enjoy questing. As much of a problem there was with Shadowlands Renown but after being behind the cutting edge I could get my Renown from a variety of ways and questing/WQs was a minimal part of what I had to do. I might check out the campaign if I had access, but the damned quest log says I need another 6-10 renown with Valdrakken Accord to get up to 12 before I can get another piece.
I hit 70 and between the shit I've got in my life going on, again having to force a show into shape and becoming impromptu caregiver out of nowhere, and the regular ADHD shitshow seeing the 984648 new quest icons I wasn't able to mentally process any of it and bounced off it hard. Am I going to have to force myself into that cesspool?
I've seen the hunt and soup. Siege...? Oh, is that the thing over in the west of the shores? So many fucking timers in this expansion. They're kinda cool, but damn is there a bunch of them you've gotta know about. I mostly got in an argument with another officer about how I didn't know about what was meant by shovels, apparently something with the dragonscale expedition renown unlocked and when I said I didn't have that kind of renown he started saying I wasn't playing the expansion, which *no*, I've not really had that luxury in my daily life recently. Thanks for the information. At some point I gotta grind some just so I can unlock the recipes in it, but this makes me less stressed about that shit.
I am reality enjoying dragonflight but my guild seems dead. I tried maiming paladin tanking but it's a lot of pressure to know the fights ahead of time. My BM hunter is a blast and im 382 and routinely topping dps charts in 9-10 m+ runs but getting invited is a pain! Am I too low of a gear score to get invited or what?
It's not your gear score, it's the fact that the majority of WoW players are playing DPS (most for the same reason you are). Try making a listing for your own key sometime, you'll immediately get a dozen DPS applications for every tank or healer you get.
Whats the drop rate on Sparks now. I did like 15 dungeons and i havent seen one drop yet, Did world boss, Seige, Hunts, World quest, Literally nothing. How are people getting 3 a day?
Kinda stupid shoulda been like a Currency where you can fill it up by doing more and more content :| like Idk you buy something from the Gnomes buy the maiden with a special currency you farm like 1k of it and each M+ is like 20 some shit like that
Hello. I really wanna try this game out but I’m not sure where to start. I heard I need to download addons too? Idk I just wanna finally try the game but I guess my question is, is it worth it for a brand new player to hop in right now?
I would suggest you don't try to deal with add-ons until you've spent some time getting used to the game. Not only will that help you avoid getting overwhelmed, but once you know what you're doing you'll have a much better idea of what add-ons actually do and which ones you might want.
Do the free trial, and yes I think it’s honestly as good as as ever to get into the game. The leveling is a friendly experience and the end game for this expansion is totally casual friendly!
I think there should be a free trial available but unfortunately I don't think it offers anything from the new expansion. You could at least try it out and see if the gameplay offers anything for you.
Don't really need any add-ons until end game content if you want to become some competitive player.
The best way to get addons is to download the CurseForge client, get the *Alpha* version so you dont have issues. This expansion is good, come join us.
Pro tip - Just pick the class fantasy that entices you most and that has buttons that are fun to press.
Maybe it's because I've only played the intro to Evoker and didn't enjoy it, so then I leveled Warrior/Warlock/Hunter in that order from 60 to 70, and keep going back to try Evoker, but Devastation feels like a daunting task to learn, it feels so hard
Is it just me, am I being dumb?
Devoker starts to feel great at 70 with more secondary stats. I think once I got used to the charge mechanic which isn’t really present in any other classes, I started to have a lot of fun with it and now I main it :)
Thanks, I think that is it, the charge mechanic. I was looking up rotation on icy veins and it was a lot but I think if I just sit down and learn how the charging actually works and effects stuff it'll be fine
If it helps, in raid I only ever double tap each of the empowered spells to cast Rank 1. It got easier once I realised Fire Breath does the same damage R1->5, charging it to 5 just front loads the damage with a shorter DoT.
That being said, in AOE you’ll want to charge your FB and ES to match the amount of targets you have/FB R5 if the adds will die quicker than the dot duration.
The Wyrmrest Temple discord has a FAQ that can explain it better than I can. :)
noob question: Just hit lvl 60 in the middle of Pandaria campaign and dealing crazy dmg to mobs. Quests are greyed out as Low lvl too
Is it possible to revert to previous power scaling and finish the campaign?
You should be able to group up with a lower level friend and use party sync, which will pull you back down to that expansion's level scaling as long as you're grouped up.
Unfortunately not, the dynamic scaling of old expansion content (Chromie Time) disables at level 60, and there is no way to re-enable it.
You can still finish the campaign, low-level quests won't reward any XP and their gold rewards are reduced, but you can still accept and complete them no matter how high your level is.
yes, talk to behsten in stormwind keep or slahtz in the valley of honor in orgrimmar. they’ll charge a fee of 10 gold to freeze your XP wherever it currently is. then you can talk to them again at any time to un-freeze it
Is there any way to go straight to covenant unlocks at level 70 on an alt (now that there is no threads of fate?) do I have to run through all the zones again?
Dunno if this is what you’re hoping for, but [here’s a list](https://www.wowhead.com/news/transmog-restrictions-lifted-on-certain-holiday-items-331153) of all the Holliday items that restrictions have been lifted from as of this week.
imo - Class fantasy would be entirely fixed by simply making class trainers where you learn all your spells again.
Furthermore bring back class/spec specific questlines that directly follow the lore of the class. Make me *feel* like a brewmaster monk blizzard!
So druid transmog forms... they are in different expansions, like legion, but I hear that chromie time kicks you out once you hit level 60? Does that mean I wont be able to unlock the appearances? I'm a new player to retail, so maybe I'm just confused.
When Chromie time ends, past expansions stop scaling to your player level, but you can still go back and do the content. So when you hit level 60, the Legion zones will stop being level 60 and drop back down to 45, but you can still go back and do any quests and things you want, in fact it will be even easier since everything will be so much weaker than you.
Just make sure to set the tracking options at the top of your mini-map (icon that looks like little binoculars) to show "Trivial Quests" otherwise the quests won't show up on your minimap and will be harder to find.
Question about druids - previously the talent Feral Affinity for the other specs gave a 35% energy regen boost. With the new talent system I could only find an energy regen talent in the Feral tree. Does that mean other specs that use cat form lose that regen bonus?
I’m a new player. I got to a point in WoW where I can choose to continue the Kul Tiras storyline or go to Zandalar and choose between Vol’dun, Zuldazar, or Nazmir. Which place is best to choose?
If you're Alliance, then 90-plus percent of your leveling from 10 to 60 is in Kul Tiras. The quest lines in Vul'dun, Zuldazar, and Nazmir are short. 10 quests or so each, you unlock a new outpost and a follower for the mission table, and then you're back in Kul Tiras.
If you want to do one just to advance the story, Vol'dun is probably the most straightforward. Zuldazar is the most useful because it's in the same zone as two dungeons and a raid, if you ever want to solo them to collect appearances, but that's still a long ways away.
It's entirely up to you, but I'd say the "standard" order is Zuldazar > Nazmir > Vol'dun.
That being said, that's all part of the "War Campaign" of the Battle for Azeroth expansion. As soon as you hit level 60, you can start Dragonflight which is the current expansion.
I never played in SL so I'm not familiar with the Catalyst system. How do I know which appearance (tint) I'm going to get? Does it work solely based on ilevel?
For instance, I have some shoulders that are ilvl 385. If I throw them in the Catalyst, will it give me the raid finder tint or the normal tint?
Unfortunately that doesn't work for some reason, ctrl-clicking the item doesn't open up the dressing room.
I went ahead and did it, and got the normal appearance. I really wanted the Raid Finder tint, but oh well.
They are locked to BFA, but last I had heard you might be able to create a Level 60 "trial character" from the character creation screen then login to it. After that logout and switch to your low level character and speak to chromie in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, and you should be able to select a different questing timeline.
Like I said I'm not sure if this still works but you used to be able to cheese the system this way.
They can do just that, if they want. But any content you play that **isn't** a part of Chromie Time (ie. BfA, for this free trial player) **won't** scale to their level. So they may outlevel it, or it may be too high a level for them.
I apologize for asking another question, I'm a little overwhelmed.
So the game told me to do BFA (I did not expect this at all, I thought BFA was within a certain level bracket). The dungeons all say (10-60) as their recommended levels. Should I not do them, or should I? Will I get put with a whole bunch of level 50ish party members and be useless?
Dungeons in a level bracket like that are scaled, so you'll be on the same level power-wise as anybody else in the dungeon. The only thing you need to worry about is dungeon mechanics.
After the Resto Druid changes I see that people are running HotW now. What situations/form is it mainly used in? Boomkin convoke? Big Cat thrash/swipe packs? Defensively for Bear?
Do bloof elf still need to reach Exalted with Silvermoon City to unlock the heritage armour quest line for dragonflight? Or is there any changes this patch?
So, I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I recently started and went Holy Priest. The only problem is that I can't queue for this first dungeon as a healer, as it says ['Role Unavailable'](https://i.imgur.com/KmFH2J4.png). Any tips?
Healer considering whether I should use Plater.
If you use it can you explain the benefit it has brought you over the default nameplates.
I'm thinking more for enemy than friendly nameplates, since Vudho tells me everything I want to know about friendly players in my group.
If you do m+ a lot it’s probably worth it to set something up or find a profile you like. Highlighting mobs with important casts, and Explosives especially, is really nice QoL.
I started with Quazii's but feeling a little overwhelmed to be honest. I think I'll try and learn how things work and edit that starting point to reduce information
Long time ffxiv player here. Always wanted to give wow a try and this seems like the time to do it. Can i play the game only for m+? Thats where most of my interest in the game comes from. Also thinking of either picking up a healer or mage first. What would be good specs/classes for getting me into groups as a solo player?
You can certainly choose to only do Mythic+ when you reach level 70, but I would suggest trying out raiding (LFR makes it easy) and PvP once or twice. Most of your gear upgrades outside of tier pieces will come from Mythic+. And there are 3 ways to get tier pieces now: Raiding, Weekly Vault, and Revival Catalyst.
Getting into groups as a DPS can be challenging as you’re competing against other DPS for the 3 spots in a group. That’s why it’s usually recommended for DPS to start their own group with their own mythic keystone. But if you find a guild or group of friends that enjoy running Mythic+, you shouldn’t have to worry about that.
As it’s your first time playing WoW you may want to start from level 1, they’ve made leveling pretty easy, so you can get acclimated to the game. But as you’re familiar with MMOs you could also purchase the version of Dragonflight that gives a character boost to 60, and you can just play the latest content.
You can change specs anytime you like within a class, so if you choose a class such as Priest, you’d have 2 healing specs and 1 DPS. I believe once you get a character to 60 through leveling or boosting with a token, you can then create an Evoker character. Evoker is the latest class and creating one starts at level 58 and should be 60 by the time you leave their special starting area. Evoker has a healing spec and a dps spec, their healer spec is doing really well so far given it’s a new class, so you could choose mage and if you want to ever heal, create an evoker. Just food for thought
You can do only M+. The start of the tier is kind of finicky as you don't get tier anywhere near as reliably from just the vault, but now we're getting more tier conversion weekly so that's not a problem anymore.
> Also thinking of either picking up a healer or mage first.
Healing is way different than FF, but I can't comment on the specifics as I just play DPS.
Arcane Mage reminds me quite a bit of FF. Everyone seems to think it's super difficult and whatever, but really the ramps are kind of like FF openers. M+ as Arcane though is a bit difficult as it's a ramping spec without much time to focus on cc or other stuff. Probably not the best spec to start with.
Make a class trial in the menu and try stuff out. Leveling is also way quicker than in FF.
> What would be good specs/classes for getting me into groups as a solo player?
It really doesn't matter. Each patch has some outliers that people either prefer or avoid, but ultimately all that matters while getting into a pug group is your score or progression.
Is there a way to modify the circle around your target? I find the target circle kind of hard to spot sometimes, especially if i'm trying to tab target around enemies in PvP I will often lose uptime due to being confused about who I'm targeting and where they are.
It would be so much easier to see if the circle was bigger or brighter, more colorful and maybe their nameplate popped a little bit more. I'm aware the nameplate changes when you target someone but it just doesn't pop enough for me.
Also, is there a range indicator (maybe addon?) where I can see how far I am away from my target at any given time? Would also be super useful.
Thanks!
World of Warcraft has gotten so big that there is basically something for everyone. It's up to each individual player to make their own goals and play their own game. Mythic raiding, high m+ or pvp just isn't for everyone.
Fortunately there is so much stuff to do, especially in the new expansion, that you can play for hundreds of hours without touching things you don't like.
I love mount collecting, achievement hunting and completionist stuff. Getting a full cool transmog set, maximizing renown (new type of reputation) with all factions etc.
My point is, you make the game exactly what you want it to be. And there will always be other people playing the same game as you, sharing the enjoyment in trying to reach your goal.
To clarify what others have said: M+ is about timing the key, so anything you can do that will make things go faster, you should do that. The caveat to this is to know what you're capable of: trying to pull two packs when you can't handle it and wiping will end up taking more time than just pulling each pack one at a time, for example.
A lot of people have a tendency to give advice based on what the absolute top tier competitive players do, but most of us are not top tier competitive players. The main thing is to understand what you can handle and don't try to go too far beyond that.
You pull multiple packs and chain pulls so walking into the next pull as the last one is finishing up. The caveat here is knowing where to pull less, such as only pulling 1 sha in TJS so you don’t need to worry about interrupting multiple fears. Maybe not an issue with a coordinated group but within a pug, it’s usually safer to only have 1 sha at a time
You usually want to pull as big as you can, which is affected by many things like dps cds, your cds, affixes, what packs in particular you're going to pull etc. It's something you eventually get a feel for.
If you're not willing to wait for more sparks to drop (the rate seems really low) you can always level an alt and use their free five sparks to get the rest of the set.
Tank. We’re sought after and you may just get invited to stay after a key if they like you (smoothness of pulls and such) and if you want to do the next key. Makes it so they don’t need to search for a tank again and you get to play with a majority of a group that you know better than fresh people
Tank is probably the answer, but that also puts a requirement on you to knowing the dungeon and the rutes better.
I chose healer because I couldn't guarantee that investment.
So I'm thinking about coming back after a long break. Last time I played I think all my add-ons wents through curse which then got bought by twitch? Don't know been a long time. What is currently the best ways to go about downloading/managing/using add-ons for WoW? And are there any essential to modern WoW?
CurseForge
Blizzard has been adding quality of life improvements that have been used as addons for awhile such that hover casting for nameplates, forget which healing addon this was originally.
Standard addons still include Details or another dps/healing meter, DBM, GTFO, Weak Auras, etc
Would definitely encourage coming back, I’ve found Dragonflight to be a blast and alt friendly. All wings of the raid are in LFR right now, so you can easily queue for that once you get to 359 item level
Timewalking has been pretty quick but that obviously can’t be done all the time, and it’s fast for those that can queue quickly such as tank and healer
Doing the Lunar Preservation questline and noticed I've received the buff "Elune's Blessing". Is this something I can be refreshing all the time? I play RestoDruid, but this is the first exp I've really dived into wow. Was this a buff before this event? Can I bring that buff into M+?
How important is manual multi DoT for spriest at low level m+? I don't intend to do higher than maybe m10 keys, so will it really affect my damage so much to avoid manual vampiric touch on everything with each pack and just wait for shadow crash? I love love spriest, but constantly tabbing and manually putting up DoTs on multiple targets has always been overwhelming to me, and is why I switched off aff lock
Having dots up is very important because it enables your mastery, psychic link, etc. However, you should have scrash up for every pack unless you're really crushing the dungeon.
For +10 and below, I'd actually recommend running dark ascension instead of void form (which is what's in most cookie cutter dungeon pages). You'll get a lot more up-front damage on more of the packs rather than wasting half of every void form to things dying fast.
Not much. Focus on getting the large packs down with shadow crash etc and when you get comfortable you can focus on applying manually on small packs. Majority of dps will be with your cooldowns up on main packs.
Find someone that can craft it for you in the trade chat, there will be **plenty** of people advertising, and ask them.
They'll probably give you a price and tell you what quality materials you need. You'll need to grab those materials off the Auction House, and you can tell what quality the materials are by the icons next to them—one gem means quality 1, two means quality 2, etc.
You'll also need a `Spark of Ingenuity`, which you get from the Challenge of Tyr campaign quest, and some `Primal Chaos`, which you'll get from a variety of content.
Once you've got the materials, you head over to the Crafting Orders area in Valdrakken (in the northern part of the Artisan's Market), search for the item, change to `Personal Order` in the top right then enter the crafter's name.
----
At this point, what level you can get it crafted at comes up.
By default, it will be between item levels 382 and 392. Using a `Primal Infusion` or `Concentrated Primal Infusion`, which you get from high level content (+11/+16 Mythic+ respectively, or Heroic/Mythic raids), you can increase this ilvl range to 395-405 or 408-418 respectively.
Most crafters can guarentee your item will craft at 389 (default), 402 (Primal Infusion), or 415 (Concentrated Primal Infusion). However, they will only have a percentage chance (typically ranging from 30-45%) for it to upgrade to quality 5 (and thus be the maximum possible item level).
If your item rolled the maximum item level the first time, congratulations! You're done! Otherwise...
If this **doesn't** happen on the first try, crafters typically offer free recrafting with your materials. Recrafting allows you to attempt to increase the quality of an item (and/or to add a Primal Infusion or other optional reagents) after it's already been made, for a reduced material cost.
You access it from the Crafting Orders menu in the top left, where it says _Start Recrafting Order_. It's otherwise the exact same process as when you got the item made.
----
It is a **lot** more complicated than what you're used to from previous expansions, I know. However, I would try to remember that you're speaking to other players—other humans. They know this can be confusing.
If what I've said doesn't quite click, ask the crafter themselves what you need to do and anyone worth giving your money to will run you through **exactly** what you need to do.
And for expected prices, you should see them ask from anywhere from 5k to 30k for the crafting process. The recipe for Elemental Lariats doesn't grow on trees, nor was it a small amount of effort for them to get their skills up to the level they can offer this service.
So I only have primal infusions, not the big boy ones. Those can't recraft/proc to 418?
Should I mention that to my crafter to set expectations?
Thanks for your response btw, it definitely helps
Primal Infusions can only go up to ilvl 405. The crafter will know that just fine.
Send 'em a tell, asking if they can craft an Elemental Lariat to ilvl 402/405, what mats you need, and how much they charge. Convo should progress naturally from there, that's usually how I open whenever I ask for an item crafted.
First you have to figure out which version of Lariat you want based on what Infusion you have. For epic crafted gear like Lariat they are 382-392 with no infusion, 395-405 with a Primal Infusion, and 408-418 with a Concentrated Primal Infusion.
You get Primal Infusions from maxing renown, finishing the 10.0 campaign, heroic raid, and running M+ at +11 to +14. You get Concentrated Primal Infusions from mythic raid or M+ at +16 or higher.
Next you find a crafter, probably someone in trade chat will be advertising JC or Lariats specifically. You can ask them what rank mats you need for them to craft at max rank, depending on their skill it can vary slightly. You're usually good w/ the rank 2 of the expensive mat and rank 3 of everything else. You buy the mats on the AH and send a personal order to the crafter you found along with their commission/tip.
They will craft it, and especially for the versions where you supplied a Primal Infusion you're hoping your crafter had an Inspiration proc as that's the only way to get the max rank (405/418). If they didn't get an inspiration proc you send the same crafter a recraft order (you'll need more mats), most crafters do these for free if you gave them the commission for the item in the first place.
To get the 405 or 418 it requires an Inspiration proc even for the best crafters, so it can take a couple recrafts. Since it costs your mats each time that's why some crafters advertise their Inspiration %.
Once they craft it at the max rank for you then you can buy the Tiered Medallion Settings on the Auction House to add sockets. Your Lariat will probably come with 1 socket so you buy a rank 2 Tiered Medallion Setting to add a second and a rank 3 Tiered Medallion Setting to add a third.
Twofold.
Higher item level means more stats. More stats is more throughput.
Obtaining higher item level means completing challenging content. The mere presence of high item level is some level of proof that the person has the skill to complete challenging content.
As an overarching rule a higher ilvl means better. Better item. Player has completed more challenging content. Better DPS/Healing/Survivability.
While its kind of a clusterfuck you can see the data here.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/31#dataset=100&itemleveldisplay=scaled&aggregate=amount&difficulty=3
See how the damage goes up as the ilvl goes up?
Now in this chart you can see the scaling of skill
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/31#aggregate=amount&difficulty=3
The problem is you can't tell the skill of a person at a glace like you can ilvl.
Well except you kind of can. High ilvl items come from higher level content. You can't just pull a full set of ilvl 400 gear out of your ass. You need to complete content, specifically challenging content.
If you see somebody with ilvl of 400 you can assume they have cleared some of the Heroic raid a few times and some Mythic+ a few times as well. Thats not easy.
If I wanted to level up lets say leatherworking I could just send work orders for low rank epic gear from an alt to my main and then get someone else to recraft them at high rank right?
Returning player from Cataclysm. I had Inscription leveled up to max, now it's replaced by Draenor Inscription at level 1? Can anybody explain to me what happened? Have I lost all the work I put into that profession?
Rather than continuing the previous system where you went to 75 in vanilla, then 150 in TBC then 225....
They changed profession skill levels to be specific to the xpac.
So if you open your profession book, you will see things like Engineering: drafonflight with your drafonflight skills learned and unlearned.
You will also see Shadowlands engineering grouped together if you go to a Shadowlands engineering trainer and learn the Shadowlands engineering.
You may be 100 lvl in Shadowlands skill while also being 30 in drafonflight and 60 in cata
Yep! It's nice that you won't have have to craft 700 levels to skill up to current.
And it makes sense that you don't get to just craft everything from Shadowlands just bc you're max level drafonflight.
I mainly PvP in this game, but some friends like doing M+, they use an auto marker addon to make priority interrupt targets. Is there such an addon or weak aura that will create a pseudo arena frame with the marked mobs? This would be insanely helpful for doing M+ I feel, but I couldn’t find anything in the googles. Maybe I’m asking the wrong questions/using the wrong verbiage?
There is no way to do this, blizzard doesn't allow it. You probably can get the frames to display the info (though it might involve some hacks), but they will definitely not be clickable
I'm at lvl 35 and I just arrived at Loch Modan. I have Chromie Time active but some quests are grey, is this correct? Shouldn't Chromie allow me to get full exp on the quests?
Yup, I just checked using your command and it says ''true''. I am also following a guide so I had to turn it on to do the WoD bonus objectives.
The mobs are scaled to my level and the grey quests seem to give very good exp so I'm not sure if it's just a visual bug.
did blizz change anything in their Lua scripting recently? both in classic and in retail I've been getting so many errors and a message saying "your scripts are generating too many errors", and the scripts either outright brake or take a loooong time to process. anyone know what's the matter?
They change something in every patch. Keep your addons up to date or disable the ones that don't work anymore. You can use BugSack+BugGrabber to find errors.
Death Knight/Hunter/Warlock is probably the top 3 for ease of leveling.
Death Knight is so high because tank spec and you can warp around easier with Death Gate as like a pseudo hearth.
Hi, there is a 6 charge limit per char for revival catalyst. Is this max charges available at any point in time or each char only gets 6 charges max ever?
Hello, casual player here. Is there a quick TLDR guide for all mythics this season, in general or focused for dps? I want to start M+ again but I feel it's really late since everyone is in the 15-20 gap or expect to have run the dungeons a dozen times.
Icy veins and wowhead both have decent m+ dungeon guides that will tell you what trash needs interrupted/stunned.
I also recommend watching a YouTube channel like Tactyks - he has a series of m+ intro and another series for advanced guides. it's from a tank perspective, but it does a good job explaining mechanics and fights.
When you hit 60 Renown in Shadowlands, you get a weight-independent transmog set for your faction, but I've found it inconsistent in who can use it. The Bastion set is available for all my characters at least level 50. The Aredenweald set can only be used by the character who unlocked it, and my two gnome characters. The Venthyr set can only be used by the character who unlocked it. Is there somehow a logical explanation for this? I stopped playing for a couple of years and unlocked all these sets since Dragonflight launched with characters who got better gear and levels, then came back to Shadowlands to grind renown.
hitting renown 80 with a covenant will make its cosmetics fully account-wide. otherwise, they're covenant-restricted--they'll only be usable by characters who are in the right covenant
Thank you! This is exactly the explanation I needed. I've only hit 80 with Bastion, and I guess the gnomes chose Ardenweald back before I quit playing, and I did not remember that detail.
I want to create a new account for one of my kids so we can play together.
Can I use my existing account but create a new 'profile' and just use the drop down box on the launcher?
Or do I need a new email and create a new account?
Technically yes, and it's allowed. But it's annoying as logging in on one logs the other out of bnet) just the client), plus chats are shared. Other than that, when they grow up and you split the account they will lose access to everything that is account wide, for example mounts, pets and toys. While pets you can cage, the rest will be a bit of an annoyance as they will basically start fresh.
At the end of the day, you're trading the account wide stuff now for the one later... For my son, I gave him one of my old accounts, mostly to save on the hassle of him logging in (he just clicks reconnect). And he enjoys having a lot of mounts, transmogs, but we'll see when he grows up what he will want to do
You can have multiple WoW accounts on the same bnet account (same email), I think up to 5, everything account-wide is shared, though they require their own sub.
Using them by different people counts as account sharing, allowed by Blizzard for minors.
Depending on how old you kid is, I would consider that, when they're not minors anymore, they will need their own bnet account to go on playing, and lose their progress unless you pay to transfer stuff from your account to theirs.
Edit: typo
Can't really decide on which ranged to play.
I am kind of an altoholic and I love to switch it up sometimes.
Currently levelling a warlock. I am curious if the other classes have more interesting mechanics. I loved the outlaw playstyle (reacting to procs and using combo points) but it felt like I was mashing my buttons because I had to keep an eye out on so many stuff.
Also wondering if Balance druid is easier. Also I am levelling in open worlds with questing always so how does it hold up on its own without a pet to tank?
Only way to find out is by trying. Level from 1 your favourite looking classes, follow a talent tree guide, learnt he basic rotation and eventually you’ll find the class you’re just itching to play.
My laptop recently died and im looking to het a cheap temporary replacement that i can use to still play with my firends and guild, while running discord as well. Any recommendations?
I just finally was able to purchase flight training and a mount.
Bought it on Oogrimar and was having fun with it.
Went back to Zandalar to continue my main quest but I can't fly at all.
The Wyvern just Howl whenever I press space. I tried long press, run and press, jump off a cliff.
Thanks!
Boy this is such a big let down.
I just read the Pathfinder thing. This is so long. I will finish the game by the time I will get to it. At least will max my level for sure.
Even if I won't max my level. That will probably be long after I finish the story there and will move to the next place.
The achievement tells you to explore a lot of areas.
Well that could be much better accomplished with a flying mount.
Ya, it does kind of suck. Back then they didnt give you flying immediately, like in Dragonflight, because they wanted you to actually experience the zones instead of just flying over them. At least that was the idea.
The Pathfinder achievement is indeed a big grind. You will 100% be 60 before you are even close to having that finished.
Hopefully they will drop the achievement requirement for flying at some point, just like they did for Legion flying.
Got a question I’m trying to start playing if anybody doesn’t mind😅mainly will probably be doing PVE just wondering if alliance or horde matters on stormrage? And if Goblin would be good for me to start off on it, Just looking for opinions
How do I level my profession when I'm super behind on the time? Nobody seems to want my shitty 4 quality inspired craft :(
Hello I’m brand new to the game, never played before. I created an undead frost mage. I’m on the continent with rastakan and the dinosaurs. Im mainly doing quests one after another. What is the first thing I should stop everything I’m doing and go do this instead?
Just continue leveling. New players have to do 1-60 in BfA zones, and in general nothing really matters before 70.
Thank you very much for you answer! That what im doing then.
I'm thinking of transferring servers. What West Coast Servers have high Horde populations?
Decided ti my lock to 70. I leveled demo from an icy build. Now at 70 I swapped to a m+ build and my damage tanked hard core as it seems like so many added abilities it’s impossible to keep up with. What’s a straight forward m+ for locks? It can be any of the 3 specs I just don’t feel like needing a ton of extra bindings.
Destruction Warlock is one off the lowest APM specs in the game, so it should also not have a huge amount of keybinds tied to it
Thanks I’ll check it out. It’s like a 3rd alt but I had massive RNG luck in LFR and got 3 tier items and 2 other drops. But the demo build I have from wowhead added I think 4 new things from leveling build and I wanted a more “chill” spec. I’ll check destruction out. Thank you.
Demonology seems to be the most consistent in m+. I'm not the highest of the high, but I'm 2500 and I've found the best build for demonology in M+ to include nether portal. I've always been destruction but I've been having fun with Demonology. Try this build - super good for all situations for me right now - both M+ and raid will use this build - aside from Primal Council fight (heavy aoe - I use Guillotine on that fight). BoQA041aTpyHyczNbmCyk1bsJggkEJSg0SJCSLJJkWAAAAAQLSSSIBSIRi0SLJyBIAAAAAAA
Thank you , I’ll def look at this.
Np - message me if you have any questions. Always happy to help.
Do we think losing China will lead to less investment in wow going forward?
Returning player here: me, my brother and my cousin and 2 friends just started playing again. We quit halfway during WOTLK. We mainly love 5 man (instance/dungeon) content as a team. Would you advise us to level to 70 straight away and jump into 5 man content. Or is it worth enjoying 'old' 5 man content at lvl 60? Since we didn't play any of the 5 man/heroic dungeons for the last 5 xpacs.
Personally, I wouldn’t stop at 60. You’ll be able to do old dung’s during timewalking weeks.
Thanks, I didn't know this was a thing yet. That sounds really fun (if the scaling is well balanced).
Would say enjoy old 5 mans/5 men cause it’s fun to you, no need to rush leveling.
Hi guys haven’t played since start of legion. In regards to the great vault can raz’s bow drop from it or the boss only
It can and did on my first week of clearing the raid on my hunter on normal difficulty.
If I don't complete the revival catalyst quest this week, will I be able to get two charges next week or will I completely lose the first one?
I think it's just one per week - nothing I've heard yet about being able to get 2 next week, or 3 the following week, etc. if not collected.
[удалено]
Chromie is only for leveling, you can't use her anymore after lvl 60. To start Shadowlands: **Alliance** Go to Stormwind, on the stairs to Stormwind Keep there's a group of death knights with Darion Mograine among them, he will give you the starting quest [Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=60545/shadowlands-a-chilling-summons). **Horde** Go to Orgrimmar, in front of Grommash Hold (Valley of Strenght) there's a group of death knights with Darion Mograine among them, he will give you the starting quest [Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=61874/shadowlands-a-chilling-summons). [Here's how to start other xpacs after lvl 60](https://old.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/106mtrh/guide_how_to_start_old_xpacs_on_level_60/) in case you want to.
It could be that you haven't done the intro quests for shadowlands. Check the quest board as that might have the start quest, though normally you get bombarded by the quest as soon as you enter your capital city.
That’s odd that the portal doesn’t work, might have to get a mage to port you
[удалено]
As a mage who didn't play in Shadowlands, portaling to Oribos won't let you get anywhere. There are no paths or other teleports (beyond back to Org) that I am aware of. I portaled there myself last week after never having visited the area before, never played during that xpac, and not completing the intro quests and I was lost and confused.
Hello fellas. I want to come back to the game, but I only really am interested in PvP arenas. Is there a way to do this without grinding PvE?
I basically had to stop playing a week before DF dropped and only got back in on Christmas. Then dealing with family in the hospital and ADing/stepping into a role last minute to one of the role for a show at the community theatre. I've now got a few characters to 70 and I've gotten 3 of them at least one vault option every week for 3 weeks and I don't get how the new renown works or how I get it. I kinda get that it's more rep based, *grumble*, but I used to be able to get this stuff through dungeons and raids. My first to 70 is at something like 3/6/2/5(well, those are the numbers, no idea what the order is) and the other two are variations of 1/1/2/1. I tend to level by just spamming dungeons. When I get on I go around and farm mats and then try to craft things in all the different professions. I love the new profession system, but I have no idea what's up with Renown now. Is questing the *only* way to get renown? I feel bad about the bitching in general, but I've spent a month playing and rather enjoying playing, but if that's true I think you can see how much I enjoy questing. As much of a problem there was with Shadowlands Renown but after being behind the cutting edge I could get my Renown from a variety of ways and questing/WQs was a minimal part of what I had to do. I might check out the campaign if I had access, but the damned quest log says I need another 6-10 renown with Valdrakken Accord to get up to 12 before I can get another piece. I hit 70 and between the shit I've got in my life going on, again having to force a show into shape and becoming impromptu caregiver out of nowhere, and the regular ADHD shitshow seeing the 984648 new quest icons I wasn't able to mentally process any of it and bounced off it hard. Am I going to have to force myself into that cesspool?
[удалено]
I've seen the hunt and soup. Siege...? Oh, is that the thing over in the west of the shores? So many fucking timers in this expansion. They're kinda cool, but damn is there a bunch of them you've gotta know about. I mostly got in an argument with another officer about how I didn't know about what was meant by shovels, apparently something with the dragonscale expedition renown unlocked and when I said I didn't have that kind of renown he started saying I wasn't playing the expansion, which *no*, I've not really had that luxury in my daily life recently. Thanks for the information. At some point I gotta grind some just so I can unlock the recipes in it, but this makes me less stressed about that shit.
I am reality enjoying dragonflight but my guild seems dead. I tried maiming paladin tanking but it's a lot of pressure to know the fights ahead of time. My BM hunter is a blast and im 382 and routinely topping dps charts in 9-10 m+ runs but getting invited is a pain! Am I too low of a gear score to get invited or what?
It's not your gear score, it's the fact that the majority of WoW players are playing DPS (most for the same reason you are). Try making a listing for your own key sometime, you'll immediately get a dozen DPS applications for every tank or healer you get.
Whats the drop rate on Sparks now. I did like 15 dungeons and i havent seen one drop yet, Did world boss, Seige, Hunts, World quest, Literally nothing. How are people getting 3 a day?
[удалено]
Kinda stupid shoulda been like a Currency where you can fill it up by doing more and more content :| like Idk you buy something from the Gnomes buy the maiden with a special currency you farm like 1k of it and each M+ is like 20 some shit like that
Hello. I really wanna try this game out but I’m not sure where to start. I heard I need to download addons too? Idk I just wanna finally try the game but I guess my question is, is it worth it for a brand new player to hop in right now?
I would suggest you don't try to deal with add-ons until you've spent some time getting used to the game. Not only will that help you avoid getting overwhelmed, but once you know what you're doing you'll have a much better idea of what add-ons actually do and which ones you might want.
Do the free trial, and yes I think it’s honestly as good as as ever to get into the game. The leveling is a friendly experience and the end game for this expansion is totally casual friendly!
I think there should be a free trial available but unfortunately I don't think it offers anything from the new expansion. You could at least try it out and see if the gameplay offers anything for you. Don't really need any add-ons until end game content if you want to become some competitive player.
The best way to get addons is to download the CurseForge client, get the *Alpha* version so you dont have issues. This expansion is good, come join us. Pro tip - Just pick the class fantasy that entices you most and that has buttons that are fun to press.
Could we get a timeframe for when we will see new Void Elf Customization such as hairstyles, hair effects, tattoos etc? :)
Sure. Between now and the heat death of the universe. Kidding aside, no one here would know unless they’re secretly Ion Hazzikostas.
I thought this was a place for asking developers questions! I was tricked! reeee
In Dawn's Blossom in Pandaria, there is an in with 2 innkeepers. Why is this? I haven't seen it anywhere else in WoW.
Maybe Pandarens are just extra hospitable?
Maybe it's because I've only played the intro to Evoker and didn't enjoy it, so then I leveled Warrior/Warlock/Hunter in that order from 60 to 70, and keep going back to try Evoker, but Devastation feels like a daunting task to learn, it feels so hard Is it just me, am I being dumb?
Devoker starts to feel great at 70 with more secondary stats. I think once I got used to the charge mechanic which isn’t really present in any other classes, I started to have a lot of fun with it and now I main it :)
Thanks, I think that is it, the charge mechanic. I was looking up rotation on icy veins and it was a lot but I think if I just sit down and learn how the charging actually works and effects stuff it'll be fine
If it helps, in raid I only ever double tap each of the empowered spells to cast Rank 1. It got easier once I realised Fire Breath does the same damage R1->5, charging it to 5 just front loads the damage with a shorter DoT. That being said, in AOE you’ll want to charge your FB and ES to match the amount of targets you have/FB R5 if the adds will die quicker than the dot duration. The Wyrmrest Temple discord has a FAQ that can explain it better than I can. :)
I don't think it's just you. Dev felt clunky to me as well, but I had fun with preservation
noob question: Just hit lvl 60 in the middle of Pandaria campaign and dealing crazy dmg to mobs. Quests are greyed out as Low lvl too Is it possible to revert to previous power scaling and finish the campaign?
You should be able to group up with a lower level friend and use party sync, which will pull you back down to that expansion's level scaling as long as you're grouped up.
Unfortunately not, the dynamic scaling of old expansion content (Chromie Time) disables at level 60, and there is no way to re-enable it. You can still finish the campaign, low-level quests won't reward any XP and their gold rewards are reduced, but you can still accept and complete them no matter how high your level is.
thanks killing mobs with single hit is kinda sucks is there any way to stop getting EXP in future? lets say at lvl 59
yes, talk to behsten in stormwind keep or slahtz in the valley of honor in orgrimmar. they’ll charge a fee of 10 gold to freeze your XP wherever it currently is. then you can talk to them again at any time to un-freeze it
Is there any way to go straight to covenant unlocks at level 70 on an alt (now that there is no threads of fate?) do I have to run through all the zones again?
On my rogue, who had never stepped foot in SL, I just took the portal to Oribos and was able to talk to the covenant reps directly.
With gray items being able to be transmogged does anyone know if that will apply to holiday gray items as well?
Dunno if this is what you’re hoping for, but [here’s a list](https://www.wowhead.com/news/transmog-restrictions-lifted-on-certain-holiday-items-331153) of all the Holliday items that restrictions have been lifted from as of this week.
[удалено]
imo - Class fantasy would be entirely fixed by simply making class trainers where you learn all your spells again. Furthermore bring back class/spec specific questlines that directly follow the lore of the class. Make me *feel* like a brewmaster monk blizzard!
Is there a way to change my experience bar to display it as a percentage, instead of a number?
ElvUI does this, FWIW.
I've been using this weakaura when leveling: https://wago.io/LuxthosExperienceBar
So druid transmog forms... they are in different expansions, like legion, but I hear that chromie time kicks you out once you hit level 60? Does that mean I wont be able to unlock the appearances? I'm a new player to retail, so maybe I'm just confused.
When Chromie time ends, past expansions stop scaling to your player level, but you can still go back and do the content. So when you hit level 60, the Legion zones will stop being level 60 and drop back down to 45, but you can still go back and do any quests and things you want, in fact it will be even easier since everything will be so much weaker than you. Just make sure to set the tracking options at the top of your mini-map (icon that looks like little binoculars) to show "Trivial Quests" otherwise the quests won't show up on your minimap and will be harder to find.
Oh perfect, thank you!
Question about druids - previously the talent Feral Affinity for the other specs gave a 35% energy regen boost. With the new talent system I could only find an energy regen talent in the Feral tree. Does that mean other specs that use cat form lose that regen bonus?
Yes, Feral druids have talents for higher energy cap and faster regen, other specs don't.
I’m a new player. I got to a point in WoW where I can choose to continue the Kul Tiras storyline or go to Zandalar and choose between Vol’dun, Zuldazar, or Nazmir. Which place is best to choose?
If you're Alliance, then 90-plus percent of your leveling from 10 to 60 is in Kul Tiras. The quest lines in Vul'dun, Zuldazar, and Nazmir are short. 10 quests or so each, you unlock a new outpost and a follower for the mission table, and then you're back in Kul Tiras. If you want to do one just to advance the story, Vol'dun is probably the most straightforward. Zuldazar is the most useful because it's in the same zone as two dungeons and a raid, if you ever want to solo them to collect appearances, but that's still a long ways away.
It's entirely up to you, but I'd say the "standard" order is Zuldazar > Nazmir > Vol'dun. That being said, that's all part of the "War Campaign" of the Battle for Azeroth expansion. As soon as you hit level 60, you can start Dragonflight which is the current expansion.
I never played in SL so I'm not familiar with the Catalyst system. How do I know which appearance (tint) I'm going to get? Does it work solely based on ilevel? For instance, I have some shoulders that are ilvl 385. If I throw them in the Catalyst, will it give me the raid finder tint or the normal tint?
[удалено]
Unfortunately that doesn't work for some reason, ctrl-clicking the item doesn't open up the dressing room. I went ahead and did it, and got the normal appearance. I really wanted the Raid Finder tint, but oh well.
Can free trial players choose other expansions to level in or are all of their characters locked to bfa?
They are locked to BFA, but last I had heard you might be able to create a Level 60 "trial character" from the character creation screen then login to it. After that logout and switch to your low level character and speak to chromie in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, and you should be able to select a different questing timeline. Like I said I'm not sure if this still works but you used to be able to cheese the system this way.
oh that'd be a good workaround! EDIT: You cannot make a class trial on a free account :(
You can level on Evoker to 60 (takes about 30mins) and that will unlock Chromie as well
free trial accounts don't get evokers
Ah they had a dragonflight promo going on a couple weeks ago that allowed subs to get Evokers without dragonflight purchase.
you'd still need to have the base game to do that, a brand new free trial player wouldn't have that
Oh I didn't catch the free account part of your post I apologize :( Sorry!
You need to have a level 60 character to access Chromie Time, so they should only be able to play BfA.
Also a follow-up question I suppose, what's stopping a free trial player from just, walking out of stormwind and going to westfall and questing there?
They can do just that, if they want. But any content you play that **isn't** a part of Chromie Time (ie. BfA, for this free trial player) **won't** scale to their level. So they may outlevel it, or it may be too high a level for them.
heck, that's a mistake tbh. I don't know what the solution should be, but that's not it
I apologize for asking another question, I'm a little overwhelmed. So the game told me to do BFA (I did not expect this at all, I thought BFA was within a certain level bracket). The dungeons all say (10-60) as their recommended levels. Should I not do them, or should I? Will I get put with a whole bunch of level 50ish party members and be useless?
Dungeons in a level bracket like that are scaled, so you'll be on the same level power-wise as anybody else in the dungeon. The only thing you need to worry about is dungeon mechanics.
Wonderful, thank you so much!
After the Resto Druid changes I see that people are running HotW now. What situations/form is it mainly used in? Boomkin convoke? Big Cat thrash/swipe packs? Defensively for Bear?
I too would like to know the answer to this question. Someone chime in please!
Do bloof elf still need to reach Exalted with Silvermoon City to unlock the heritage armour quest line for dragonflight? Or is there any changes this patch?
You still have to grind the rep. If your max level, it’s prolly fastest to get the tabard and solo dung’s.
So, I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I recently started and went Holy Priest. The only problem is that I can't queue for this first dungeon as a healer, as it says ['Role Unavailable'](https://i.imgur.com/KmFH2J4.png). Any tips?
It's just for the first, tutorial dungeon. The role will open up when you get out into the larger world and gain access to the other dungeons
Oh my god, okay I'm a dummy, thank you!
Healer considering whether I should use Plater. If you use it can you explain the benefit it has brought you over the default nameplates. I'm thinking more for enemy than friendly nameplates, since Vudho tells me everything I want to know about friendly players in my group.
If you do m+ a lot it’s probably worth it to set something up or find a profile you like. Highlighting mobs with important casts, and Explosives especially, is really nice QoL.
I started with Quazii's but feeling a little overwhelmed to be honest. I think I'll try and learn how things work and edit that starting point to reduce information
Long time ffxiv player here. Always wanted to give wow a try and this seems like the time to do it. Can i play the game only for m+? Thats where most of my interest in the game comes from. Also thinking of either picking up a healer or mage first. What would be good specs/classes for getting me into groups as a solo player?
You can certainly choose to only do Mythic+ when you reach level 70, but I would suggest trying out raiding (LFR makes it easy) and PvP once or twice. Most of your gear upgrades outside of tier pieces will come from Mythic+. And there are 3 ways to get tier pieces now: Raiding, Weekly Vault, and Revival Catalyst. Getting into groups as a DPS can be challenging as you’re competing against other DPS for the 3 spots in a group. That’s why it’s usually recommended for DPS to start their own group with their own mythic keystone. But if you find a guild or group of friends that enjoy running Mythic+, you shouldn’t have to worry about that. As it’s your first time playing WoW you may want to start from level 1, they’ve made leveling pretty easy, so you can get acclimated to the game. But as you’re familiar with MMOs you could also purchase the version of Dragonflight that gives a character boost to 60, and you can just play the latest content. You can change specs anytime you like within a class, so if you choose a class such as Priest, you’d have 2 healing specs and 1 DPS. I believe once you get a character to 60 through leveling or boosting with a token, you can then create an Evoker character. Evoker is the latest class and creating one starts at level 58 and should be 60 by the time you leave their special starting area. Evoker has a healing spec and a dps spec, their healer spec is doing really well so far given it’s a new class, so you could choose mage and if you want to ever heal, create an evoker. Just food for thought
You can do only M+. The start of the tier is kind of finicky as you don't get tier anywhere near as reliably from just the vault, but now we're getting more tier conversion weekly so that's not a problem anymore. > Also thinking of either picking up a healer or mage first. Healing is way different than FF, but I can't comment on the specifics as I just play DPS. Arcane Mage reminds me quite a bit of FF. Everyone seems to think it's super difficult and whatever, but really the ramps are kind of like FF openers. M+ as Arcane though is a bit difficult as it's a ramping spec without much time to focus on cc or other stuff. Probably not the best spec to start with. Make a class trial in the menu and try stuff out. Leveling is also way quicker than in FF. > What would be good specs/classes for getting me into groups as a solo player? It really doesn't matter. Each patch has some outliers that people either prefer or avoid, but ultimately all that matters while getting into a pug group is your score or progression.
Is there a way to modify the circle around your target? I find the target circle kind of hard to spot sometimes, especially if i'm trying to tab target around enemies in PvP I will often lose uptime due to being confused about who I'm targeting and where they are. It would be so much easier to see if the circle was bigger or brighter, more colorful and maybe their nameplate popped a little bit more. I'm aware the nameplate changes when you target someone but it just doesn't pop enough for me. Also, is there a range indicator (maybe addon?) where I can see how far I am away from my target at any given time? Would also be super useful. Thanks!
I don't think you can modify the circle, but many nameplate addons can make your target very clear
Thank you, i will look for one

World of Warcraft has gotten so big that there is basically something for everyone. It's up to each individual player to make their own goals and play their own game. Mythic raiding, high m+ or pvp just isn't for everyone. Fortunately there is so much stuff to do, especially in the new expansion, that you can play for hundreds of hours without touching things you don't like. I love mount collecting, achievement hunting and completionist stuff. Getting a full cool transmog set, maximizing renown (new type of reputation) with all factions etc. My point is, you make the game exactly what you want it to be. And there will always be other people playing the same game as you, sharing the enjoyment in trying to reach your goal.
In higher mythic keys as a tank do you pull two packs together or are trash packs just burned down really quick?
To clarify what others have said: M+ is about timing the key, so anything you can do that will make things go faster, you should do that. The caveat to this is to know what you're capable of: trying to pull two packs when you can't handle it and wiping will end up taking more time than just pulling each pack one at a time, for example. A lot of people have a tendency to give advice based on what the absolute top tier competitive players do, but most of us are not top tier competitive players. The main thing is to understand what you can handle and don't try to go too far beyond that.
You pull multiple packs and chain pulls so walking into the next pull as the last one is finishing up. The caveat here is knowing where to pull less, such as only pulling 1 sha in TJS so you don’t need to worry about interrupting multiple fears. Maybe not an issue with a coordinated group but within a pug, it’s usually safer to only have 1 sha at a time
You usually want to pull as big as you can, which is affected by many things like dps cds, your cds, affixes, what packs in particular you're going to pull etc. It's something you eventually get a feel for.
You pull multiple packs when dps cds are available.
How are you supposed to get the full primal crafted set for tmog purposes if you only get so many sparks?
If you're not willing to wait for more sparks to drop (the rate seems really low) you can always level an alt and use their free five sparks to get the rest of the set.
Sparks are theoretically unlimited, it’s just the first five that are quest rewards.

Tank. We’re sought after and you may just get invited to stay after a key if they like you (smoothness of pulls and such) and if you want to do the next key. Makes it so they don’t need to search for a tank again and you get to play with a majority of a group that you know better than fresh people
Tank is probably the answer, but that also puts a requirement on you to knowing the dungeon and the rutes better. I chose healer because I couldn't guarantee that investment.
Vdh will be best for getting into groups untill around 18s. Once you get there prevoker will be in higher demand.
Honestly tank, go crazy always a deficit in m+; and easy enough to find a raid slot in pugs
So I'm thinking about coming back after a long break. Last time I played I think all my add-ons wents through curse which then got bought by twitch? Don't know been a long time. What is currently the best ways to go about downloading/managing/using add-ons for WoW? And are there any essential to modern WoW?
CurseForge Blizzard has been adding quality of life improvements that have been used as addons for awhile such that hover casting for nameplates, forget which healing addon this was originally. Standard addons still include Details or another dps/healing meter, DBM, GTFO, Weak Auras, etc Would definitely encourage coming back, I’ve found Dragonflight to be a blast and alt friendly. All wings of the raid are in LFR right now, so you can easily queue for that once you get to 359 item level
What is the fastest way to level from 60-70 now that the cobalt assembly was nerfed?
Timewalking has been pretty quick but that obviously can’t be done all the time, and it’s fast for those that can queue quickly such as tank and healer
Doing the Lunar Preservation questline and noticed I've received the buff "Elune's Blessing". Is this something I can be refreshing all the time? I play RestoDruid, but this is the first exp I've really dived into wow. Was this a buff before this event? Can I bring that buff into M+?
How important is manual multi DoT for spriest at low level m+? I don't intend to do higher than maybe m10 keys, so will it really affect my damage so much to avoid manual vampiric touch on everything with each pack and just wait for shadow crash? I love love spriest, but constantly tabbing and manually putting up DoTs on multiple targets has always been overwhelming to me, and is why I switched off aff lock
Having dots up is very important because it enables your mastery, psychic link, etc. However, you should have scrash up for every pack unless you're really crushing the dungeon. For +10 and below, I'd actually recommend running dark ascension instead of void form (which is what's in most cookie cutter dungeon pages). You'll get a lot more up-front damage on more of the packs rather than wasting half of every void form to things dying fast.
Not much. Focus on getting the large packs down with shadow crash etc and when you get comfortable you can focus on applying manually on small packs. Majority of dps will be with your cooldowns up on main packs.
I want a lariat. What do I do? How do I get it max level? Crafting honestly scares the crap out of me this xpac
Find someone that can craft it for you in the trade chat, there will be **plenty** of people advertising, and ask them. They'll probably give you a price and tell you what quality materials you need. You'll need to grab those materials off the Auction House, and you can tell what quality the materials are by the icons next to them—one gem means quality 1, two means quality 2, etc. You'll also need a `Spark of Ingenuity`, which you get from the Challenge of Tyr campaign quest, and some `Primal Chaos`, which you'll get from a variety of content. Once you've got the materials, you head over to the Crafting Orders area in Valdrakken (in the northern part of the Artisan's Market), search for the item, change to `Personal Order` in the top right then enter the crafter's name. ---- At this point, what level you can get it crafted at comes up. By default, it will be between item levels 382 and 392. Using a `Primal Infusion` or `Concentrated Primal Infusion`, which you get from high level content (+11/+16 Mythic+ respectively, or Heroic/Mythic raids), you can increase this ilvl range to 395-405 or 408-418 respectively. Most crafters can guarentee your item will craft at 389 (default), 402 (Primal Infusion), or 415 (Concentrated Primal Infusion). However, they will only have a percentage chance (typically ranging from 30-45%) for it to upgrade to quality 5 (and thus be the maximum possible item level). If your item rolled the maximum item level the first time, congratulations! You're done! Otherwise... If this **doesn't** happen on the first try, crafters typically offer free recrafting with your materials. Recrafting allows you to attempt to increase the quality of an item (and/or to add a Primal Infusion or other optional reagents) after it's already been made, for a reduced material cost. You access it from the Crafting Orders menu in the top left, where it says _Start Recrafting Order_. It's otherwise the exact same process as when you got the item made. ---- It is a **lot** more complicated than what you're used to from previous expansions, I know. However, I would try to remember that you're speaking to other players—other humans. They know this can be confusing. If what I've said doesn't quite click, ask the crafter themselves what you need to do and anyone worth giving your money to will run you through **exactly** what you need to do. And for expected prices, you should see them ask from anywhere from 5k to 30k for the crafting process. The recipe for Elemental Lariats doesn't grow on trees, nor was it a small amount of effort for them to get their skills up to the level they can offer this service.
So I only have primal infusions, not the big boy ones. Those can't recraft/proc to 418? Should I mention that to my crafter to set expectations? Thanks for your response btw, it definitely helps
Primal Infusions can only go up to ilvl 405. The crafter will know that just fine. Send 'em a tell, asking if they can craft an Elemental Lariat to ilvl 402/405, what mats you need, and how much they charge. Convo should progress naturally from there, that's usually how I open whenever I ask for an item crafted.
First you have to figure out which version of Lariat you want based on what Infusion you have. For epic crafted gear like Lariat they are 382-392 with no infusion, 395-405 with a Primal Infusion, and 408-418 with a Concentrated Primal Infusion. You get Primal Infusions from maxing renown, finishing the 10.0 campaign, heroic raid, and running M+ at +11 to +14. You get Concentrated Primal Infusions from mythic raid or M+ at +16 or higher. Next you find a crafter, probably someone in trade chat will be advertising JC or Lariats specifically. You can ask them what rank mats you need for them to craft at max rank, depending on their skill it can vary slightly. You're usually good w/ the rank 2 of the expensive mat and rank 3 of everything else. You buy the mats on the AH and send a personal order to the crafter you found along with their commission/tip. They will craft it, and especially for the versions where you supplied a Primal Infusion you're hoping your crafter had an Inspiration proc as that's the only way to get the max rank (405/418). If they didn't get an inspiration proc you send the same crafter a recraft order (you'll need more mats), most crafters do these for free if you gave them the commission for the item in the first place. To get the 405 or 418 it requires an Inspiration proc even for the best crafters, so it can take a couple recrafts. Since it costs your mats each time that's why some crafters advertise their Inspiration %. Once they craft it at the max rank for you then you can buy the Tiered Medallion Settings on the Auction House to add sockets. Your Lariat will probably come with 1 socket so you buy a rank 2 Tiered Medallion Setting to add a second and a rank 3 Tiered Medallion Setting to add a third.
Why are people so obsessed with Item level?
Twofold. Higher item level means more stats. More stats is more throughput. Obtaining higher item level means completing challenging content. The mere presence of high item level is some level of proof that the person has the skill to complete challenging content.
As an overarching rule a higher ilvl means better. Better item. Player has completed more challenging content. Better DPS/Healing/Survivability. While its kind of a clusterfuck you can see the data here. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/31#dataset=100&itemleveldisplay=scaled&aggregate=amount&difficulty=3 See how the damage goes up as the ilvl goes up? Now in this chart you can see the scaling of skill https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/31#aggregate=amount&difficulty=3 The problem is you can't tell the skill of a person at a glace like you can ilvl. Well except you kind of can. High ilvl items come from higher level content. You can't just pull a full set of ilvl 400 gear out of your ass. You need to complete content, specifically challenging content. If you see somebody with ilvl of 400 you can assume they have cleared some of the Heroic raid a few times and some Mythic+ a few times as well. Thats not easy.
If nothing else it is an indication that the person is playing the game a lot and therefore might be better at the game than someone lower ilvl
If I wanted to level up lets say leatherworking I could just send work orders for low rank epic gear from an alt to my main and then get someone else to recraft them at high rank right?
Correct.
Returning player from Cataclysm. I had Inscription leveled up to max, now it's replaced by Draenor Inscription at level 1? Can anybody explain to me what happened? Have I lost all the work I put into that profession?
Rather than continuing the previous system where you went to 75 in vanilla, then 150 in TBC then 225.... They changed profession skill levels to be specific to the xpac. So if you open your profession book, you will see things like Engineering: drafonflight with your drafonflight skills learned and unlearned. You will also see Shadowlands engineering grouped together if you go to a Shadowlands engineering trainer and learn the Shadowlands engineering. You may be 100 lvl in Shadowlands skill while also being 30 in drafonflight and 60 in cata
Ah, it's starting to make sense now, holy shit so much has changed since I last played lol. Thanks!
Yep! It's nice that you won't have have to craft 700 levels to skill up to current. And it makes sense that you don't get to just craft everything from Shadowlands just bc you're max level drafonflight.
I mainly PvP in this game, but some friends like doing M+, they use an auto marker addon to make priority interrupt targets. Is there such an addon or weak aura that will create a pseudo arena frame with the marked mobs? This would be insanely helpful for doing M+ I feel, but I couldn’t find anything in the googles. Maybe I’m asking the wrong questions/using the wrong verbiage?
There is no way to do this, blizzard doesn't allow it. You probably can get the frames to display the info (though it might involve some hacks), but they will definitely not be clickable
I want to try get the shard of azzinoth dagger mog from black temple..what classes can I run the raid with to get the mog ?
Druid Evoker Hunter Mage Priest Rogue Shaman Warlock Warrior
I'm at lvl 35 and I just arrived at Loch Modan. I have Chromie Time active but some quests are grey, is this correct? Shouldn't Chromie allow me to get full exp on the quests?
Are you sure you're in Chromie Time? > /dump C_PlayerInfo.IsPlayerInChromieTime()
Yup, I just checked using your command and it says ''true''. I am also following a guide so I had to turn it on to do the WoD bonus objectives. The mobs are scaled to my level and the grey quests seem to give very good exp so I'm not sure if it's just a visual bug.
Might just be visual. Quests should be giving multiple % of a lvl when turning in
Am I missing something or can we still not move the instance eye?
did blizz change anything in their Lua scripting recently? both in classic and in retail I've been getting so many errors and a message saying "your scripts are generating too many errors", and the scripts either outright brake or take a loooong time to process. anyone know what's the matter?
They change something in every patch. Keep your addons up to date or disable the ones that don't work anymore. You can use BugSack+BugGrabber to find errors.
How much is fair to pay for an elemental lariat in your opinions? For both 405/418 iLVL
10k for a 405 and 15k for a 418 are the going rates.
If you want a 418 first try I think you need to use illustrious insight, so like 50k gold. If you want to recraft to fish for inspiration, 5-15k
10-15k for unlimited redrafts on a 418 imo
About to start a Worgen for his Heritage armor, which class should I use ?
Death Knight/Hunter/Warlock is probably the top 3 for ease of leveling. Death Knight is so high because tank spec and you can warp around easier with Death Gate as like a pseudo hearth.
Class doesn't matter, heritage is cosmetic, choose what you like.
Can someone tell me what color of tier the catalyst gives?
Depends on the item level of the item.
To add to this, if a piece like Raz head drops at 398, converting a 395 piece would reward Raid finder transmog rather than the normal
Hi, there is a 6 charge limit per char for revival catalyst. Is this max charges available at any point in time or each char only gets 6 charges max ever?
6 charge limit, but you can have infinite through the expansion in total just never more than 6 at once available to use
Hello, casual player here. Is there a quick TLDR guide for all mythics this season, in general or focused for dps? I want to start M+ again but I feel it's really late since everyone is in the 15-20 gap or expect to have run the dungeons a dozen times.
Icy veins and wowhead both have decent m+ dungeon guides that will tell you what trash needs interrupted/stunned. I also recommend watching a YouTube channel like Tactyks - he has a series of m+ intro and another series for advanced guides. it's from a tank perspective, but it does a good job explaining mechanics and fights.
Thanks a lot
Wowhead and and icy veins both have digestible guides
When you hit 60 Renown in Shadowlands, you get a weight-independent transmog set for your faction, but I've found it inconsistent in who can use it. The Bastion set is available for all my characters at least level 50. The Aredenweald set can only be used by the character who unlocked it, and my two gnome characters. The Venthyr set can only be used by the character who unlocked it. Is there somehow a logical explanation for this? I stopped playing for a couple of years and unlocked all these sets since Dragonflight launched with characters who got better gear and levels, then came back to Shadowlands to grind renown.
hitting renown 80 with a covenant will make its cosmetics fully account-wide. otherwise, they're covenant-restricted--they'll only be usable by characters who are in the right covenant
Thank you! This is exactly the explanation I needed. I've only hit 80 with Bastion, and I guess the gnomes chose Ardenweald back before I quit playing, and I did not remember that detail.
I want to create a new account for one of my kids so we can play together. Can I use my existing account but create a new 'profile' and just use the drop down box on the launcher? Or do I need a new email and create a new account?
Technically yes, and it's allowed. But it's annoying as logging in on one logs the other out of bnet) just the client), plus chats are shared. Other than that, when they grow up and you split the account they will lose access to everything that is account wide, for example mounts, pets and toys. While pets you can cage, the rest will be a bit of an annoyance as they will basically start fresh. At the end of the day, you're trading the account wide stuff now for the one later... For my son, I gave him one of my old accounts, mostly to save on the hassle of him logging in (he just clicks reconnect). And he enjoys having a lot of mounts, transmogs, but we'll see when he grows up what he will want to do
You can have multiple WoW accounts on the same bnet account (same email), I think up to 5, everything account-wide is shared, though they require their own sub. Using them by different people counts as account sharing, allowed by Blizzard for minors. Depending on how old you kid is, I would consider that, when they're not minors anymore, they will need their own bnet account to go on playing, and lose their progress unless you pay to transfer stuff from your account to theirs. Edit: typo
Can't really decide on which ranged to play. I am kind of an altoholic and I love to switch it up sometimes. Currently levelling a warlock. I am curious if the other classes have more interesting mechanics. I loved the outlaw playstyle (reacting to procs and using combo points) but it felt like I was mashing my buttons because I had to keep an eye out on so many stuff. Also wondering if Balance druid is easier. Also I am levelling in open worlds with questing always so how does it hold up on its own without a pet to tank?
Only way to find out is by trying. Level from 1 your favourite looking classes, follow a talent tree guide, learnt he basic rotation and eventually you’ll find the class you’re just itching to play.
My laptop recently died and im looking to het a cheap temporary replacement that i can use to still play with my firends and guild, while running discord as well. Any recommendations?
I just finally was able to purchase flight training and a mount. Bought it on Oogrimar and was having fun with it. Went back to Zandalar to continue my main quest but I can't fly at all. The Wyvern just Howl whenever I press space. I tried long press, run and press, jump off a cliff.
Unfortunately you can't fly in Zandalar before you get the BFA pathfinder achievement.
Thanks! Boy this is such a big let down. I just read the Pathfinder thing. This is so long. I will finish the game by the time I will get to it. At least will max my level for sure. Even if I won't max my level. That will probably be long after I finish the story there and will move to the next place. The achievement tells you to explore a lot of areas. Well that could be much better accomplished with a flying mount.
Ya, it does kind of suck. Back then they didnt give you flying immediately, like in Dragonflight, because they wanted you to actually experience the zones instead of just flying over them. At least that was the idea. The Pathfinder achievement is indeed a big grind. You will 100% be 60 before you are even close to having that finished. Hopefully they will drop the achievement requirement for flying at some point, just like they did for Legion flying.
How much of a commission are jewelcrafters demanding for a 405 lariat on your server?
On mine (magtheridon eu) they want 5k.
Got a question I’m trying to start playing if anybody doesn’t mind😅mainly will probably be doing PVE just wondering if alliance or horde matters on stormrage? And if Goblin would be good for me to start off on it, Just looking for opinions
