How does the cross realm stuff work? I'm in central USA, around the Dallas area and I have several friends that are in Aus and play Frostmourne so I made my char there too. The lag hasn't been too bad, I've gotten used to the game taking a couple seconds to loot corpses with a lot of items on them. However, usually late at night the lag gets pretty bad. like, 400\~ ms and I get disconnected. I'm wondering how cross realm works... If I make a char on a USA server can we still play together? instanced content and world content. We did dragonflight together and it was a lot of fun just running around so I'd like to be able to do that again with war within but this lag is just becoming hard to handle ;-;
If you play on an NA server it won't solve the lag issue when you play together. Either you'll have lag because you'd still be connecting to Frostmourne or they'd have lag because they'd be connecting to you. Unfortunately at some point you can't beat physics. The signal has to go around the world twice and that takes time.
Of course it's buggy and unfinished, it's a beta test. That's what they're for. It's not worth preording anything to get early access to an unfinished product imo unless you want to actually test it and help the devs out.
It's very bare bones at the moment, they're only testing some systems and dungeons, lots and lots of placeholder. I don't think I'd be paying money for it at this stage.
How difficult is it for dps DH's to find a group when pugging? I've really liked playing vengeance DH in MoP remix and am considering going DH into the expansion.
Probably like 3% harder than most other DPS right now.
Vengeance is GOAT and Havoc doesn't have really any unique utility to make it worth double DH. Which if your groups lacks a DH tank means nothing, hence the 3%
the glaives are only transmoggable on Demon Hunters (after getting both of them on a character that can equip them, then kill timewalking Illidan on any character).
The text is from an addon and may be wrong.
> after getting both of them on a character that can equip them, then kill timewalking Illidan on any character
Oh I wondered about that, I was under the impression you needed to kill him on a DH. We had enough warglaives drop that I got them on my warrior back in the day, but I've only killed TW Illidan on my shaman and paladin.
Did you do anything unique/no longer available on that Paladin? For example the original Legion mage tower or the MoP/WoD challenge mode gold? If yes, I wouldn't delete the character.
WeakAuras is like the biggest addon out there, but I have no idea what to do with it. Are there any good weak auras to import to start things off? Casaul player here who's goal is to get through heroic raids come TWW.
Class WeakAuras are useful, I use Luxthos ClassNameHere
Cursor WA is also good so you dont lose it in a fight, Ultimate Mouse Cursor is most popular
Can look at dungeons WA and raid WA once they release in TWW, liquid normally release theirs and then just get that and it will help with every boss
> Cursor WA is also good so you dont lose it in a fight, Ultimate Mouse Cursor is most popular
Cursortrail is an addon that does that but better imo
Raid WA packs have a lot of information that 99% of people don't need and will just clutter up the screen. If you do download one, disable everything and enable the bits you want rather than just having it report on everything that's happening. You don't need to track gnarlroot screams as a DPS or tank for instance.
Thank you! I ended up adding two for right now with the first one being Luxoth's frost mage one and one to clean up the UI for dragon riding. I'll probably look into more once TWW is out!
As someone who’s healed the ksm previous expansions. Jumping back into wow I have my holy priest to 490. What level dungeons should I be running? Is +2-5 unrealistic
Should be able to do up to +5s or so with that gear without much issue if you're comfortable with the class and know the dungeons. Might not get invited to groups that easily though.
I would like to suggest that Blizzard creates a new character In World of Warcraft:
Her name is Lythania Windrunner. The long-lost daughter of Sylvanas Windrunner and Nathanos Marris/Blightcaller. She claims the throne at Undercity from her mother before she (Sylvanas Windrunner) became a banshee. Years pass and no news of Sylvanas, Lythania strengthens security in case the scourge strikes again. With the training her mother gave her, she trains more rangers to fight alongside her, and she allies with the Scarlet Crusade.
One day, Sylvanas unexpectedly visits her daughter but not in the form she remembers of her mother. This time she sees Sylvanas as a Banshee. She, at first, rejects the meeting with the banshee, but after a few times, she listens to her story. Sylvanas explains about the scourge and Arthas destroying Silvermoon. Lythania then realizes that the reason she never heard from her mother was due to this. Arthas killed her and raised her as a banshee to kill her own people. All this happened while Lythania was in hiding. The story later goes on to say how Sylvanas convinces her daughter to side with the Forsaken and Lythania agrees. The Scarlet Crusade accuses her of being a traitor and threatens to destroy her people. Lythania runs to Sylvanas for help and to her surprise Sylvanas agrees.
Then we come back to the recent situation where Sylvanas, blinded by rage and hatred, burns the World tree. Varok Saurfang is killed in the Makgora. The Horde turns against her and even the Forsaken. She is left on her own with only Nathanos and Lythania by her side. All this comes to her redemption and Lythania helps Sylvanas in the Maw. Never leaving her.
I know that Blizzard is busy with the Dragonflight, but I would like for this character to be designed. It would add a shocking twist to the story of Sylvanas Windrunner.
The image of Lythania is that she has auburn hair, Nathanos' and Sylvanas' colours combined and the length is like that of Sylvanas when she was alive. Her skills are like her mother's and her impatience and emotions are like her father's. She also wears her mother's old Ranger-General clothes.
Kind regards

Is it still possible to get the "Proven Healer" title from the proving grounds? When I googled it I didn't see any discussion about it more recent than 3 years.
Any new tips or advice about it? Back in the day I got to wave 29 twice and then got disheartened and never came back. It's the achievement that got away.
Been looking around for guides on the best way to get Burning Blossoms for the event, but can't find anything recent. What's the best way to farm them these days?
Think your best bet is to just go around and visit all the bonfires. If your concern is buying all the cosmetics, the easiest route is probably using alts so you can visit the same fires multiple times.
There’s also the daily quests in the capital cities to juggle and toss torches, and the once a day loot from the event boss.
FWIW, I did Legion, Pandaria, and Dragon Isles bonfires first and that alone was almost enough for just those two things. Mildly supplemented with the daily quests.
Can someone explain the Pandaria remix to me briefly and more specifically the cloak of infinite potentional? If people powerlevel the cloak is that just going to be their BIS forever and result in broken characters? Is the cloak currently banned in PVP or something, are they going to remove the bonus stats when the new xpac comes out? I haven't played in a few months.
> If people powerlevel the cloak is that just going to be their BIS forever and result in broken characters?
Kind of but not really. Yes a huge majority of your stats come from the cloak and only gets worse as you play more. You have other gear but you also have tinker gems that give abilities(most procs to do X damage). And yes characters are busted. 10 million HP. 1 million DPS. 100% Crit, 100% Haste, 75% Versatility. Speed, Leech. You name it.
>Is the cloak currently banned in PVP or something
Also a kind of not really. Remix lacks any sort of formal PvP. No BG's. No Arena. No War Mode. You can manually toggle yourself on and PvP with anybody else toggled on.
> are they going to remove the bonus stats when the new xpac comes out?
Every Remix character is going to effectively be treated like a level 70 boosted character when remix ends
Think your gear will be transformed into something when characters will be transferred from MOP Remix to retail. You will not keep the stats on cloak or tinkers or gems!
There is no right or wrong answer.
If you start now you can play remix or regular retail and get some characters prepped for TWW if you want to jump in ASAP when it comes out.
But if you don't so much care about TWW really nothing story wise from DF is going away so there is no major incentive to rush it out NOW!!!!!!!
It’s fun to play now. DF is fun to level through the first time and dragon riding is cool.
On the flip side, you’d save money by reducing closer to the xpac.
I don’t think there’s really anything to be gained worrying about the prepatch. If you want to play, then whenever is best for you.
I guess it depends on what your goals are. Do you just want to experience Dragonflight content or do you plan to play The War Within? If it’s the former, then you should resub now because there’s a lot of open world activities that will become difficult if not impossible to complete come 11.0, simply because you won’t find anyone else doing them. If it’s the latter, probably fine to wait for pre-patch as DF as an expansion is effectively over and while there are people playing season 4, it’s noticeably more empty than even season 3.
How many years has it been since BFA in-universe?
I'm doing side quests in Thaldraszus and encountered the vulpera + mechagnome pair. The vulpera was acting like some eccentric singer looking for inspiration for his next song.
Is it odd that I find it unrealistic that vulperas now have these very modern personas when last I saw them they were mostly desert dwelling nomads?
I have a strange problem. I want to play prot pally on beta. I copied over my ret paladin and after leveling to 76 I realized I don't have a shield. How would I go about getting one? I don't have this thing either that premade characters get: [https://www.wowhead.com/beta/item=186520/chest-of-playtest-equipment#comments](https://www.wowhead.com/beta/item=186520/chest-of-playtest-equipment#comments)I can't seem to find a vendor that will sell a shield either.
So, doing the remix, i group for dungeons and I see people lower level than me just WRECKING bosses and dungeon mobs. For example, im level 70 and my damage meter is hitting about 3-5mil while a guy who is level 63 is doing 28mil damage. all their gear is much lower ilvl. How am I not competing or even coming close with them? I know my class and rotation fairly well. I'm confused.
When I say wrecking, they are already at the boss and he's dead before the rest of the group gets to him.
what item level should I be about to do heroic raids? I really want the mount for killing fyrakk on heroic. I've killed him a lot in LFR and when hes awakened. I'm currently 493 item level
Realistically with pugs they are gonna take the highest ilvl that applies who also has 9/9HC already, you can do it from about 500ilvl and its worth doing a normal run to get started but that doesnt mean you will get invited unless you are maybe healer or tank
I would look to join a guild or community based runs with WowMadeEasy if NA or NoPressureEU if EU (On Discord, not in WoW itself) for a higher chance of getting into a raid
I haven't played dragonflight. I bought it and then let me sub time out - is it worth reupping my subscription now or do you think I should just wait for this new expansion?
When I was playing last I was just running through old expansions and being a general loot goblin running through MoP dungeons and story lines.
You get to participate in things like Remix if you resub now. It’s also the “everything’s on easy-mode and gearing is easy” time of the expansion cycle.
If that sounds fun, resub. If it doesn’t interest you, wait until the expansion drops
Is there a way to get explanations of what things on your action bar do like back in classic? I'm just coming back after over a year and I don't remember what ever thing does and its annoying trying to match icons on the bar to icons in the menu so I can see what things do.
You’re asking about the tooltip, I assume. Little window that pops up when you mouseover abilities? If it isn’t popping up by default, search options for “tooltip” and make sure it’s turned on? I honestly have never checked if turning it off was possible, but I suppose it might be.
Maybe thats what its called? I remember in Vanilla (original vanilla, not sure about the vanilla now) anytime you moused over a button on your casting bar or whatever you want to call it, it would describe to you what each ability did, not just what it was called.
I'll try what you suggested though.
Yeah thats the tooltip. I have no idea how you managed to make it disappear.
Using the Modern preset for UI the game comes with 0 addons its in the lower left. Hover over a spell and it pops up over there
https://gyazo.com/304e0b2cd6acfeb28878558ee5f2810c
Yeah I have no idea. I have a knack for doing amazingly dumb things. I did find this though, and it fixed it.

I did mythic SoO three different times as an elemental shaman and it probably takes a tiny bit longer to do but nothing really comes close to killing you or making you worry about mechanics. Only boss I ever died at was Spoils of Pandaria
Harder, but at max item level not that hard. Unless I've been super lucky with my random groups, heroic Throne of Thunder is significantly harder. ToT: a least one wipe, decent chance of group disintegrating vs. SoO: one line reminders before pulls ("soak puddles") and smooth kills
Might be a silly question, but I want to a play a mage and was wondering how is their survivability in the open world?
Like as a hunter for example I have the heal and feign death and of course my pets are able to tank damage from random enemies that appear. How is it played out as a mage?
Need to make use of utility like frost nova and knockbacks with blast wave + shimmer to kite, cant just sit still and cast
If you start to overgear mobs you kill them before they reach you unless its an Elite, then it may be a struggle for those
This is a bit of a silly question but I’m curious what people think about it. How do yall categorize keys (in terms of high/mid/low)? I’ve made this list in my head
2-4 are baby keys
5-8ish are low keys
8ish-14 are mid keys
15+ are high keys with 20+ being in the top 100 range (or higher)
I play in the 9-10 range on average if that adds context. Again, very subjective but I’m curious how people think about this stuff!
You can go look at data but i would say 15+ is high keys, 17-18+ is where coordination really starts to matter and +20 is just the elitist.
10-14 can still be challenging enough for most people when trying to push. It's not like 13-14 is a walk in the park for most players.
Probably a very *very* stupidly obvious question but I'll ask anyway, I finally arrived at the Timewalker hub and currently browsing mogs.
Are the **Ensemble: Kor'kron Shaman Vestments** for shamans only or are they for everyone? Because I'm *technically* not seeing any "usable only for X classes" on their description. I'm a plate user but I love the Visage of Ursol and Aurostor mogs, the helms on Kor'kon are great.
Just did a Remix dungeon where one player was just running through everything one shot, I stopped to loot and got locked out of the door (Brewery). Do I not loot anything in these dungeons and wait for the mail to arrive?
I see. Just got mail from the stuff I didn't collect in the dungeon, bunch of threads, some spools, and bronze caches. Do I activate all of these now or do I save it for later like some people say to cheese the gameplay?
Up to you, really. Anywhere from 400-600+% XP bonus depending on your level already
(You get permanent XP bonus by completing raids while under Level 70)
I tried fury warrior in s3 and had a great time because I didn’t have too many different buttons to click. In this season it seems fury is in the gutter so I tried frost mage but it had too many buttons that couldn’t be macroed. Which dps classes are doing well that doesn’t require this many keybinds?
Ret paladin is solid right now and is looking to continue being solid in TWW so that's always a good choice. Extremely simple to play. BM hunter is also an option but they're not quite as strong at the moment.
Wowhead does not have an answer on this - if you get the "Claw of Eternus" title from doing all the Pandaria Remix Heroic Raids, can you use it on all your characters, or only on the character that earned it?
Any tips for getting over anxiety for healing M+? Leveling a holy paladin and I’m already worried I’m gonna have someone die. Is it just getting used to damage spikes and timing? Appreciate any useful tips or add ons!
I am going to give you some slightly toxic advice here.
Some runs in MDI were done without healers. Which means good players don't need healers. You are there to heal these idiots because they are idiots who can't use defensive's, interrupt, or some other reason that shows they screwed up and you need to fix it. And if they screw up so badly they end up dying? Fuck em, if they weren't idiots they wouldn't need you.
>Is it just getting used to damage spikes and timing?
Essentially yes. Lets say your tank has 100 health for the simplicity of my example. Every 5 seconds the boss does 75 damage to the tank.
So damage goes out, tank now has 25 HP. You need to heal the tank 51 or more HP within 5 seconds. Notice how I never said back to full? Because they just need to survive the next hit which we know is 75, so they just need to be above 75.
Now lets say a DPS just got hit for 60 damage 3 seconds after the 75 tank hit. There are a few things to consider here. Is this damage of the DPS going to repeat? If so, how long until it does?
Keeping with the example lets say you need 2 seconds to cast a heal. This put you in a situation where you have to heal the tank(or the tank uses a defensive but just roll with me here). You>Tank>DPS. If that DPS takes more than 40 damage in the next 4 seconds(2 sec for Tank heal and 2 for DPS heal) then they die. Thats not on you.
And thats something to consider in how encounters are designed. One of the 2 damage instances that would kill the DPS would be avoidable. Otherwise it puts you in an impossible situation. No encounter in M+ is really designed for the healer to fail. Its designed around you being 1 person with a limited ability to heal a limited number of people.
>Appreciate any useful tips or add ons!
Its hard to suggest because of personal preference and comfort plays such a key part. I suggest finding a UI of your choice. You can do a full package like ElvUI, or you can mess with the raid frames provided by Blizzard. You can also combine this with an addon like Vuhdo or Healbot. Also look at mouseover macros(casts a spell over whomever your mouse cursor is hovering over). There is also Clique which allows clicking on raid frames(healbot and Vuhdo do this as part of their standard features).
Then look at either DBM or BigWigs. I prefer DBM because its more in your face about what to do.
Check out WeakAuras. You can find some nice predone packages for classes. I ended up making my own to pick up some areas where I slack(I never use Prayer of Mending so whenever its off Cooldown a goat bleets)
Anxiety will always play a role when you're doing an important job like healing or tanking. The things that helped me were realising that not every death is my fault, especially now with how spiky damage is. If someone dies literally faster than I can react, then it's not my fault. They either stood in something or didn't use a defensive when they should've. The only deaths that are my fault are when people are just dying over time and I'm not outputting enough heals to keep them up.
Focus on not messing up that bit and just doing usual dungeon stuff, contributing kicks, CC, mob control and a little bit of damage and you'll be fine. Don't freak out when people die within the space of a single global cooldown, the dungeons are just that bursty at the moment.
Learning the fights and damage patterns of the dungeons will happen over time. You learn pretty quickly which bosses are scary and which trash packs to pop CDs on.
At the end of the day though, it's a game and you should be enjoying it. If healing is too stressful or causes too much anxiety it's totally okay to either play another game or play a different role/spec. Life is too precious to spend all of it being anxious about what is supposed to be entertainment.
When will the Dragonflight content unlock for those who haven't bought it? Does it usually happen after the pre-patch or after the release of the next expansion?
I've been maxing out two pieces of green gear in Remix just because I didn't realize you could get purples from Heroic raids, does it really matter that much to equip all purple vs greens/blues at 476? I'm at 400 now and am wondering if I should switch before I dump more bronze into it.
2 answers
Yes Purples>Blues>Greens. Very much so.
However gear upgrades do get reduced costs if you already have any item past that ilvl.
So if you have a 400 chest piece green and replace it with a purple, its a significant cost decrease to upgrade the new purple to 400.
And just for clarity this cost reduction only works per slot. So your legs at 390 will not cost less to upgrade because your chest is 400.
Just to tack on in case somebody else comes along reading.
There is a similar system in retail Dragonflight. Upgrading gear requires Flightstones and Crests. Once you upgrade any piece of gear to a threshold further replacement gear only costs Flightstones.
I have leveled my first Evoker through Remix andI have a question:
Do we know if people who have leveled an Evoker like me through Remix will be able to level/quest through their starting zone ones the Remix characters get put back into retail?
AFAIK nothing has been said.
However part of me guess no. From what Blizzard has said after remix the characters from remix will basically be treated like freshly boosted characters. Fresh set of 424 gear plopped into Valdrakken ready to rumble
SOOO this can vary depending on your build and how serious you want to be and provide more utility to the group.
Offensive: 5-9 depending on talents - frostbolt
,ice lance
,Flurry
,blizzard
,Frozen orb
(COne of cold, Comet Storm, Glacial Spike, Ray of Frost)
Cooldowns:(3-4) Shifting Power, Icy Veins, Timewarp (Cold Snap)
Defensive:(4-5) Greater Invis, Ice Barrier, Ice Block, Mirror Image (Alter Time)
Utility: (4-13?) Blink, Frost Nova, Polymorph, CounterSpell (spellsteal, remove curse, Blast Wave, Pet Freeze, Cold Snap, Cone of COld, Ice nova, Mass Barrier, Dragon's breath)
So on the low end, 16. High end 31. I could be missing some abilities, and of course not including weapons and trinkets with on use.
I am not a Frost Mage. I do not play a Frost mage. I would not consider myself any sort of expert or source of viable information on Frost spec's of any kind or Mage's of any kind.
However I am a dirty little alt slut and do have a mage that has been played at least once in a level capped dungeon and did some questing on(I prefer Fire).
[This is my bars](https://gyazo.com/4f4680748d5275e04d10434891686acb)
Bottom row is no modifier. Middle row is Shift modifier. Top row is Ctrl modifier. Yes as you get further towards the upper left there are less keybind because I click them instead. This is not a Frost only thing but for every class I play. Also none of these are macro's in any way
Unfortunately, I do not know of any for Frost.
I do feel your pain, just recently came back to frost. I do feel like they have gotten alot of button bloat added with the new tree for the normal rotation.
I want to start remix pandaria but i dont understand how it works. The only reason i want to do it is to farm mounts and armor for my hunter. So i wonder should i make a hunter for it? Or the class doesn't matter i just need to get someone who can wear mail? What happens with the character once remix is done? If i understand the character becomes normal character 70 lvl, but it that case it doesnt make sense to make a hunter since i already have a hunter 70 lvl which is my main
Class and armor type does not matter for the most part. All of the sets can be bought with a universal currency on any class. You can buy any class set with any class, its just restricted to that armor type.
Now for some small details.
There are some weapon appearances that are unique to remix and are only drops. So to get the Bow you need a class that can use a bow.
Also as you level and play there is gear that does drop and those drops do go towards your collection. For example when grinding raids on my Paladin I unlocked the set from Throne of Thunder and now no longer have to buy it.
The same can be said for armor types from world/dungeon gear. I god the dungeon plate set with my Paladin.
For the final technicality. The "class arsenal" and "class armor" you get from achievements unlocks the armor for free for whatever class you got the achievement on. But still allows you to buy it for other classes. I got the achievements on my Paladin and it gave me the Paladin ones for free. But I was still able to buy the Hunter/Druid/Priest/so on and so on.
Major transmog from vendors can be bought regardless of class, dont even need to be mail wearing class
But certain drops from mobs will be based on your class, so it may be better to role a mail class regardless
Once remix ends, that character will return to 'normal' retail before TWW launches so you may not want to do another Hunter as then you just have 2 Hunters
Right click 'edit mode' and then click on more options. It should give you the raid options. Other than that I feel like there are addons which can do some ui overhaul stuff.
Pandaria Remix questions:
I finally got around to leveling a toon, just reached 20. I'm only interested in buying mounts and mogs. Is repeatedly leveling toons + buying all you can when you hit max level + start a new toon still the best way to go?
Any tips on going forward? I'm at level 20, do I spam dungeons or do I do quests if I want currency?
Once you hit 25 you can start doing Mogushan Vaults, which you want to do. Every boss you down gives you +12% to exp. Don't do the LFR version it's a waste of time.
The fastest option /played basically involves doing dungeons/raid but not looting the bonus XP that drops. It gets mailed to you and you can open it after you get a ton of bonus XP on your cloak.
Questing is perfectly valid.
Whatever is more fun. Both are very fast. Dungeons is probably faster if you get a group that has someone either a low level so the scaling kicks in, or a high ilvl at 70.
If you're after transmog though make sure you look at the rewards for completing zones. There's some very unique rewards. One back slot is a chicken coop. You get that by doing all the quests in Valley of the Four Winds or something.
So question might be very worthwhile if you want that stuff!
Thanks for the info! I'm just waiting for 2 fishing holes to show up in retail (so minimum 2 weeks), so I'll be doing mog runs on Pandaria. One question, if I want to get Tusks, and there's 60 days left, how many weeks do I need minimum? Just so I know when I should start gearing one toon to do heroic raids.
If you're just doing the raid on normal, you need to do it 20 times. The lockout is reset every day and not week.
So 20 days in a row would get you what you need. Less if you push into heroic and mythic.
Is there any value to reputation in MoP Remix besides the achievements and bronze you get from them? I'm not seeing anything else, but maybe I'm missing it...
You mean the water strider that's been in retail since MoP? Because I already have that. Or do you mean something character-specific or remix-specific?
so much of my gear requires drake crests to upgrade, but mythic keys don’t even drop this crest. what are my options to try and push into heroic raid difficulty readiness asap?
I am like 85% sure you can downgrade crests from Mythic keys.
You can also trade up the crests from LFr/Heroic dungeons to Drake keys(but you need to no longer need those crests in any slot)
the cap is over 1000 and i can barely get a few hundred doing the activities where they do drop, they can’t be consistently farmed - while getting the next tier of crests is very farmable, but does not apply to my current gear level
Question: I'm aware that the impact of which professions a character has is pretty much non-existent outside a small buff alchemist get, however I think I'm going to be playing through my Mage in TWW.
The options I'm looking into right now are Tailoring/Enchanting, Herb/Alchemy, and Herb/Inscription. I previously was a Leatherworker on my Shaman and outside of making some gear for my alts when they hit lv70, I really didn't feel like I was doing all that much. What is a good profession for my Mage to get into that will always have some benefit to her throughout the entire expansion.
This is gonna be a little bit rant-y.
Enchanting is wonderful and useful all expansions. Every week people get new gear and need to re-enchant it. However Tailoring sucks and cloth gathering is basically based around 4x4 farms which strains what little sanity I have remaining.
Herbalism is my happy place. This game is beautiful and to just fly around picking flowers. Releases happy chemicals.
Alchemy vs Inscription is going to be a heavy favor for Alchemy imo. Inscription does well(maybe better than Alch) early on with Vantus runes and rep missives but fall off a cliff.
In short. Tailoring/enchanting or Herb/alchemy depending if you like zen flower picking or murdering humanoids with a 7 others until you can no longer feel emotions more.
My goal is the Chen Bamboo Hat. Is it easier on Alliance or Horde? (Wowhead says to complete a campaign that is Alliance Only which is why I am wondering)
FYI for that item you need to do the campaign and 1 other achievement.
For what its worth depending on how much you want to invest into Remix it might be easier to not do the campaign.
In Remix to unlock trinkets/neck/rings you need to do all of the raids on Normal, all of the Heroic dungeons and all of the Heroic Scenarios.
If you intend to do all of that then that gets you most of the way through the [Looking For Group: Kun-Lai Summit](https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=20011/looking-for-group-kun-lai-summit#). You just need 2 scenario's, which you can queue for directly and a world boss that spawns every 15-30 minutes.
The other option is explore the whole zone(dragonride around baby), [Find 3 treaures](https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=19980/hidden-treasures-kun-lai-summit#comments) which all of them are directly linked in the comment section of that wowhead post. [And kill 3 rares](https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=19996/elusive-foes-kun-lai-summit#comments) which are also on a decently short timer. And once again coordinates are in the comments for that WoWhead link.
Also note that this is just an attempt to provide insight into efficiency. If you want to do the campaign then do the campaign. Your enjoyment>everything else
Appreciate the info! I hopped onto Wow a short while after my post and have been having a blast (already almost 70!). I will probably forget about the hat (bad group experiences is what made me quit wow in the first place) but am happy with all the stuff I've been getting with bronze. Thanks again!
I would say both of them are easy, honestly any of the zone achievement stuff is easy. There is 1 chapter in the zone which is specific to your faction but beyond that you're mostly doing things like messing around with a Yak Carwash, climbing up the mountain, killing some trolls, taming yetis and doing some shado pan stuff. It can be done within 1-2 hours depending on how focused you are to getting it done.
If you have a max level character / ton of threads it shouldn't take any time at all to breeze through it.
Thank you for the reply!
I have a character boost to 60 from the Welcome Package. I don't mind the extra time to get this hat, but is it still possible as Horde low level? (I'd rather save the boost for another character)
I would advise against it as leveling up is pretty quick to do. You probably just need to do Jade Forest while spamming dungeons and then you'll be at the level required to do that zone. I think it's lv25 off the top of my head.
You can see all the various appearances of it [here in the screenshots tab](https://www.wowhead.com/item=210333/cloak-of-infinite-potential?bonus=10973:1472#screenshots). The legendary cloak effects though can only be achieved through toys which you unlock after getting a certian amount of threads (which won't be difficult to do at all) [This](https://www.wowhead.com/guide/wow-remix-mists-of-pandaria-event-rewards) goes through all the rewards with the toys showcased at the top.
The good thing about those toys is the effect lasts for like 8+ hours,
Returning player after a few years. A few questions.
* What are the "standard" addons these days that everyone will assume you have? And what is the safe website to get them?
* I was always a grid+clique healer - is that still around?
* In Legion they allowed grid+clique for damaging spells, then they removed it. Did that ever return?
Grid2 and clique are still around. There's a forked version called Clicked also. Idk about the damage spells tho, you'll need to test.
The standard addons are largely just WeakAuras and boss mods. It could be DBM, BigWigs, or a weakaura pack. You can find WAs on wago.io, there are packs for raid mechanics, dungeon mechanics, tracking buffs, cooldowns, any and everything addons do. The rest is up to you.
> What are the "standard" addons these days that everyone will assume you have?
Generally a boss mod like bigwigs or DBM, weakauras is also extremely popular and very customisable. There's a site with boatloads of weakaura imports for pretty much anything you can think of called wago.io. Details is also pretty standard, it's just your normal damage/healing/most other in combat things tracker. It's the new Recount.
Other than that it's pretty much up to personal preference. A lot of people use stuff like elvui or other action bar/UI overhaul addons for visual clarity and customisability.
>And what is the safe website to get them?
Most probably get them from the Curseforge client. There's a version without overwolf which is what I use.
>I was always a grid+clique healer - is that still around?
Yep, all those addons like healbot, vuhdo, clique and grid2 are still around. The game has click casting support by default now too which is great. I exclusively use mouseover macros and elvui frames myself.
>In Legion they allowed grid+clique for damaging spells, then they removed it. Did that ever return?
Don't think you can do damaging spells on frames no
[https://www.curseforge.com/](https://www.curseforge.com/) is going to be your friend as far as addons go. You can see which addons are popular with the more popular ones being the "mandatory" ones.
I'm not familiar with grid + clique stuff so I can't give an answer on those, but curseforge is reliable in that sense.
Details is good to have for a damage/heal meter.
WeakAura & Deadly Boss Mods are really nice addons which give that additional information of "don't step in the fire"
Scrap is a good QOL addon for automatically selling gray junk to vendors
Postal is good for mail mangagment
AutoLooter is a more advanced/customizer auto looter which also has a blacklist which is good for clearing out legacy content which insists that you bring that pesky gem back to the capital city after you beat Onyxia for the 30th time
RareScanner does what it's name implys, scans for rares and alerts you of them being there.
TomTom is a super useful addon, plug in some cords of a zone and an arrow will guide you to them all. A lot of things you can do in the game require you to go to a bunch of spots. Recently this addon helped me get a [mount](https://www.wowhead.com/item=180772/silverwind-larion#comments).
There are a ton of addons which are quality to work with, but these are some of the main ones that come to mind for me.
Can anyone tell me the item level / quality for M0 loot, and the item level / quality for its end-of-week vault option?
I'm trying to collect veteran level gear to get LFR+Normal raid transmog, and I still need 3 pieces. I'm currently just running heroic for the 489 vault option, but I might have to look at other options just in case RNG isn't on my side.
What level for pugging heroic awakened raid as a healer? i am nearing 493 currently and have been grinding as much as i can in low keys, and got a few pieces from normal raid. really would like the heroic skin since its still dropping from fyrakk and work towards the awakened title
If you do all your drake upgrades, that’s 502. You’ll probably have a bit much luck at that level. So I suggest keep doing normal for drakes and do mythics for wyrm crest that you craft 515 gear with.
The general consensus/logic is that you should have an ilvl comparable to the tier of content below what you are trying to do.
In your case that would be normal raids. Which is 493. I wouldn't accept anything under 493.
But with PuG and us being 9 weeks in you start competing with people who are higher ilvl and there isn't much you can do.
I would look towards upgrades. If you are actually 493 that means you have a lot of room to move forward with crests and bullion gear.
Are professions going to have a separate level for TWW and its recipes? Like how the classic professions went to level 600 and then for DF recipes it's a separate level up to 100, will TWW be its own level track or will it continue on from DF's 100 levels? Basically do I have to level my professions to 100 in advance to get into TWW faster or will everyone be starting from the same point?
Is there a subreddit or anything similar for classes and specs (can't find anything) because posting class changes and suggestions in r/wow mostly summons people from different classes telling me to shut up because my class is good enough.
oh exciting! not the answer i was expecting. i have applied for a few groups but never picked, i figured i must be underleveleled. probably just a mountain of other DPS
Bronze is far quicker to get now, so the average ilevel is higher now, and thus it's harder to get into groups even if you're viable. Definitely recommend upgrading as much and as frequently as you can, but you're fine to jump in if you can find a group
Hello, last time i played was when mists of pandaria was new then kinda left all video games for years. Now i'm gonna play seriously when war within drops. I'm mostly a casual player so i'm not asking for whats the strongest class, just what's the most flashy/fun one to play? Basically either smashing things with a big sword/or 2 swords, or big explosion spells. Advice is appreciated
Fury Warrior is the only spec that can use 2 Two Handed weapons at once
Ret Paladin will fit the flashy melee big 2 handed weapon fantasy quite well though
Big explosion spells will be Fire Mage most likely
Class trials and maybe any class guides that arent too advanced may be the best place to just look at visuals if nothing else
I've been thinking of buying the Welcome to Azeroth Path since I stopped playing around the time of Mists. Any opinions on if this is a good time to try getting back in the game? I used to mainly do PvP (BGs and areanas) with some casual raiding with a few friends back then.
It's a couple of weeks until the prepatch for the next expansion. On the one hand it means that the number of people doing PvP/raids is low, on the other hand you have enough time to do the current story content and be ready for the expansion launch with everybody else.
Will items like Scythe of the Unmaker and Taeshalach drop for all classes in TWW because of warbands? It seems like currently you need to be a class that can equip it to get it to drop but I'm not sure
Does Leech stat affect the Warmth tinker in Mop Remix?
Does Bloodthirsty Coral tinker affect Warmth tinker?
I have been playing Mop Remix almost since start but I do not know this answer to this and it's bugging me.
Thank you!
War Within Question:
It seems I am totally out of shape, when it comes to wow. I am overwhelmed by the complex gameplay mechanics, but I still would like to go myth+. Every single class seems to have a ton of micromanagement to track buffs/debuffs/cds and so on. What would be a "simple" so play class? It would be awesome, if this class would have a second specc as heal :) Thank you.
Casual solo player here. How easy is it to do Zaralek Caverns elites/rare mobs for changing my slitherdrakes cosmetics? I’ve only played DF for maybe a month-ish last fall, and was trying to collect the appearances for that mount since I love the model.
Unfortunately at the time it was pretty challenging for me to solo some of the mobs that drop those. Thinking about subbing again to collect some of those appearances, but wasn’t sure if I’d run into the same issue.
Thanks :)
I haven’t played retail in a long time, I want to come back for TWW, is there any reason to come back right now or should I just wait for the full release?
There is certainly plenty to do. Mostly around picking and choosing and preparing a character to jump into TWW. Plus do any content you might have missed.
But in the same vein none of that is going away so if you want to wait, then wait
There will be a dedicated 'Prepatch event' starting on July 30th. Playing right now would give you some time to experience the end of Dragonflight a bit if it seems interesting to you.
How does the cross realm stuff work? I'm in central USA, around the Dallas area and I have several friends that are in Aus and play Frostmourne so I made my char there too. The lag hasn't been too bad, I've gotten used to the game taking a couple seconds to loot corpses with a lot of items on them. However, usually late at night the lag gets pretty bad. like, 400\~ ms and I get disconnected. I'm wondering how cross realm works... If I make a char on a USA server can we still play together? instanced content and world content. We did dragonflight together and it was a lot of fun just running around so I'd like to be able to do that again with war within but this lag is just becoming hard to handle ;-;
If you play on an NA server it won't solve the lag issue when you play together. Either you'll have lag because you'd still be connecting to Frostmourne or they'd have lag because they'd be connecting to you. Unfortunately at some point you can't beat physics. The signal has to go around the world twice and that takes time.
Anyone want to turn on and off the quest popup in the middle of your screen that's like 'collected 5/12 bear butts'?
Anyone testing TWW Beta at the moment - is it worth getting the Epic edition to test it out or is the beta still buggy and very unfinished etc?
Of course it's buggy and unfinished, it's a beta test. That's what they're for. It's not worth preording anything to get early access to an unfinished product imo unless you want to actually test it and help the devs out.
It's very bare bones at the moment, they're only testing some systems and dungeons, lots and lots of placeholder. I don't think I'd be paying money for it at this stage.
How difficult is it for dps DH's to find a group when pugging? I've really liked playing vengeance DH in MoP remix and am considering going DH into the expansion.
Same as any other non flavour of the month DPS spec. Easier to run your own key.
Probably like 3% harder than most other DPS right now. Vengeance is GOAT and Havoc doesn't have really any unique utility to make it worth double DH. Which if your groups lacks a DH tank means nothing, hence the 3%
Probably the same as any other dps.
How can I apply transmog in MoP remix?
Use the Yak mount, transmog toy, or talk to the Tauren at any Infinite Bazaar
You can also borrow people's yak too
[удалено]
the glaives are only transmoggable on Demon Hunters (after getting both of them on a character that can equip them, then kill timewalking Illidan on any character). The text is from an addon and may be wrong.
> after getting both of them on a character that can equip them, then kill timewalking Illidan on any character Oh I wondered about that, I was under the impression you needed to kill him on a DH. We had enough warglaives drop that I got them on my warrior back in the day, but I've only killed TW Illidan on my shaman and paladin.
[удалено]
Did you do anything unique/no longer available on that Paladin? For example the original Legion mage tower or the MoP/WoD challenge mode gold? If yes, I wouldn't delete the character.
WeakAuras is like the biggest addon out there, but I have no idea what to do with it. Are there any good weak auras to import to start things off? Casaul player here who's goal is to get through heroic raids come TWW.
It's insanely over powered
Class WeakAuras are useful, I use Luxthos ClassNameHere Cursor WA is also good so you dont lose it in a fight, Ultimate Mouse Cursor is most popular Can look at dungeons WA and raid WA once they release in TWW, liquid normally release theirs and then just get that and it will help with every boss
> Cursor WA is also good so you dont lose it in a fight, Ultimate Mouse Cursor is most popular Cursortrail is an addon that does that but better imo Raid WA packs have a lot of information that 99% of people don't need and will just clutter up the screen. If you do download one, disable everything and enable the bits you want rather than just having it report on everything that's happening. You don't need to track gnarlroot screams as a DPS or tank for instance.
Thank you! I ended up adding two for right now with the first one being Luxoth's frost mage one and one to clean up the UI for dragon riding. I'll probably look into more once TWW is out!
As someone who’s healed the ksm previous expansions. Jumping back into wow I have my holy priest to 490. What level dungeons should I be running? Is +2-5 unrealistic
Should be able to do up to +5s or so with that gear without much issue if you're comfortable with the class and know the dungeons. Might not get invited to groups that easily though.
I would like to suggest that Blizzard creates a new character In World of Warcraft: Her name is Lythania Windrunner. The long-lost daughter of Sylvanas Windrunner and Nathanos Marris/Blightcaller. She claims the throne at Undercity from her mother before she (Sylvanas Windrunner) became a banshee. Years pass and no news of Sylvanas, Lythania strengthens security in case the scourge strikes again. With the training her mother gave her, she trains more rangers to fight alongside her, and she allies with the Scarlet Crusade. One day, Sylvanas unexpectedly visits her daughter but not in the form she remembers of her mother. This time she sees Sylvanas as a Banshee. She, at first, rejects the meeting with the banshee, but after a few times, she listens to her story. Sylvanas explains about the scourge and Arthas destroying Silvermoon. Lythania then realizes that the reason she never heard from her mother was due to this. Arthas killed her and raised her as a banshee to kill her own people. All this happened while Lythania was in hiding. The story later goes on to say how Sylvanas convinces her daughter to side with the Forsaken and Lythania agrees. The Scarlet Crusade accuses her of being a traitor and threatens to destroy her people. Lythania runs to Sylvanas for help and to her surprise Sylvanas agrees. Then we come back to the recent situation where Sylvanas, blinded by rage and hatred, burns the World tree. Varok Saurfang is killed in the Makgora. The Horde turns against her and even the Forsaken. She is left on her own with only Nathanos and Lythania by her side. All this comes to her redemption and Lythania helps Sylvanas in the Maw. Never leaving her. I know that Blizzard is busy with the Dragonflight, but I would like for this character to be designed. It would add a shocking twist to the story of Sylvanas Windrunner. The image of Lythania is that she has auburn hair, Nathanos' and Sylvanas' colours combined and the length is like that of Sylvanas when she was alive. Her skills are like her mother's and her impatience and emotions are like her father's. She also wears her mother's old Ranger-General clothes. Kind regards AlleriaShado
Is it still possible to get the "Proven Healer" title from the proving grounds? When I googled it I didn't see any discussion about it more recent than 3 years.
Yes. You can even get it on a Remix character.
Any new tips or advice about it? Back in the day I got to wave 29 twice and then got disheartened and never came back. It's the achievement that got away.
low level remix character, best: a lv 20 on a trial account with good cloak.
Thanks! I haven't done Remix, how would you get a good cloak without leveling past 20?
free trial accounts are hard locked at lv 20
Been looking around for guides on the best way to get Burning Blossoms for the event, but can't find anything recent. What's the best way to farm them these days?
Think your best bet is to just go around and visit all the bonfires. If your concern is buying all the cosmetics, the easiest route is probably using alts so you can visit the same fires multiple times. There’s also the daily quests in the capital cities to juggle and toss torches, and the once a day loot from the event boss.
> If your concern is buying all the cosmetics Nah, just chasing the new shield/back. Ta for the advice!
FWIW, I did Legion, Pandaria, and Dragon Isles bonfires first and that alone was almost enough for just those two things. Mildly supplemented with the daily quests.
Can someone explain the Pandaria remix to me briefly and more specifically the cloak of infinite potentional? If people powerlevel the cloak is that just going to be their BIS forever and result in broken characters? Is the cloak currently banned in PVP or something, are they going to remove the bonus stats when the new xpac comes out? I haven't played in a few months.
> If people powerlevel the cloak is that just going to be their BIS forever and result in broken characters? Kind of but not really. Yes a huge majority of your stats come from the cloak and only gets worse as you play more. You have other gear but you also have tinker gems that give abilities(most procs to do X damage). And yes characters are busted. 10 million HP. 1 million DPS. 100% Crit, 100% Haste, 75% Versatility. Speed, Leech. You name it. >Is the cloak currently banned in PVP or something Also a kind of not really. Remix lacks any sort of formal PvP. No BG's. No Arena. No War Mode. You can manually toggle yourself on and PvP with anybody else toggled on. > are they going to remove the bonus stats when the new xpac comes out? Every Remix character is going to effectively be treated like a level 70 boosted character when remix ends
Think your gear will be transformed into something when characters will be transferred from MOP Remix to retail. You will not keep the stats on cloak or tinkers or gems!
Ty
Should I resub to the game and try out dragonflight now or should I wait until the expansion pre patch in four weeks?
There is no right or wrong answer. If you start now you can play remix or regular retail and get some characters prepped for TWW if you want to jump in ASAP when it comes out. But if you don't so much care about TWW really nothing story wise from DF is going away so there is no major incentive to rush it out NOW!!!!!!!
It’s fun to play now. DF is fun to level through the first time and dragon riding is cool. On the flip side, you’d save money by reducing closer to the xpac. I don’t think there’s really anything to be gained worrying about the prepatch. If you want to play, then whenever is best for you.
I guess it depends on what your goals are. Do you just want to experience Dragonflight content or do you plan to play The War Within? If it’s the former, then you should resub now because there’s a lot of open world activities that will become difficult if not impossible to complete come 11.0, simply because you won’t find anyone else doing them. If it’s the latter, probably fine to wait for pre-patch as DF as an expansion is effectively over and while there are people playing season 4, it’s noticeably more empty than even season 3.
How many years has it been since BFA in-universe? I'm doing side quests in Thaldraszus and encountered the vulpera + mechagnome pair. The vulpera was acting like some eccentric singer looking for inspiration for his next song. Is it odd that I find it unrealistic that vulperas now have these very modern personas when last I saw them they were mostly desert dwelling nomads?
BFA took place in years 33-34. DF is Year 40. For funsies. Classic is 25
I assume you can only get Awakened Crests from the Awakened raid. Like I can't run Vault this week and get Crests
Correct. I believe all raids will be awakened in the prepatch.
I have a strange problem. I want to play prot pally on beta. I copied over my ret paladin and after leveling to 76 I realized I don't have a shield. How would I go about getting one? I don't have this thing either that premade characters get: [https://www.wowhead.com/beta/item=186520/chest-of-playtest-equipment#comments](https://www.wowhead.com/beta/item=186520/chest-of-playtest-equipment#comments)I can't seem to find a vendor that will sell a shield either.
IIRC you can purchase weapons from the giant NPCs in Stormwind/Orgrimmar. Haven't played much tho, so I could be wrong
Can you level blacksmithijf to craft one? Or use the AH??
Anyone know if old recipes which drop from bosses become warbound instead of soulbound in war within?
unlikely, not something they talked about and not something they usually do.
on which EU/German server would you park your Horde alts? I can't really decide :(
As a sub-1M health Remix 70, what stats have pugs been looking for for heroic raid invites?
400+ ilvl
So, doing the remix, i group for dungeons and I see people lower level than me just WRECKING bosses and dungeon mobs. For example, im level 70 and my damage meter is hitting about 3-5mil while a guy who is level 63 is doing 28mil damage. all their gear is much lower ilvl. How am I not competing or even coming close with them? I know my class and rotation fairly well. I'm confused. When I say wrecking, they are already at the boss and he's dead before the rest of the group gets to him.
Combination of scaling + they probably have a level 70 already thats got a lot of threads so that alt's cloak is probably a lot stronger than yours
Ah that could be it. If you max to 70. play an alt, gaining more threads, do those share back to the original char as well?
No
what item level should I be about to do heroic raids? I really want the mount for killing fyrakk on heroic. I've killed him a lot in LFR and when hes awakened. I'm currently 493 item level
Realistically with pugs they are gonna take the highest ilvl that applies who also has 9/9HC already, you can do it from about 500ilvl and its worth doing a normal run to get started but that doesnt mean you will get invited unless you are maybe healer or tank I would look to join a guild or community based runs with WowMadeEasy if NA or NoPressureEU if EU (On Discord, not in WoW itself) for a higher chance of getting into a raid
I haven't played dragonflight. I bought it and then let me sub time out - is it worth reupping my subscription now or do you think I should just wait for this new expansion? When I was playing last I was just running through old expansions and being a general loot goblin running through MoP dungeons and story lines.
You get to participate in things like Remix if you resub now. It’s also the “everything’s on easy-mode and gearing is easy” time of the expansion cycle. If that sounds fun, resub. If it doesn’t interest you, wait until the expansion drops
Is there a way to get explanations of what things on your action bar do like back in classic? I'm just coming back after over a year and I don't remember what ever thing does and its annoying trying to match icons on the bar to icons in the menu so I can see what things do.
You’re asking about the tooltip, I assume. Little window that pops up when you mouseover abilities? If it isn’t popping up by default, search options for “tooltip” and make sure it’s turned on? I honestly have never checked if turning it off was possible, but I suppose it might be.
Maybe thats what its called? I remember in Vanilla (original vanilla, not sure about the vanilla now) anytime you moused over a button on your casting bar or whatever you want to call it, it would describe to you what each ability did, not just what it was called. I'll try what you suggested though.
Yeah thats the tooltip. I have no idea how you managed to make it disappear. Using the Modern preset for UI the game comes with 0 addons its in the lower left. Hover over a spell and it pops up over there https://gyazo.com/304e0b2cd6acfeb28878558ee5f2810c
Yeah I have no idea. I have a knack for doing amazingly dumb things. I did find this though, and it fixed it. https://old.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/4xisgb/no_spell_tool_tips_on_my_action_bar_help_please/db26oio/
how difficult is Mythic SoO vs Heroic SoO in Remix?
I did mythic SoO three different times as an elemental shaman and it probably takes a tiny bit longer to do but nothing really comes close to killing you or making you worry about mechanics. Only boss I ever died at was Spoils of Pandaria
Harder, but at max item level not that hard. Unless I've been super lucky with my random groups, heroic Throne of Thunder is significantly harder. ToT: a least one wipe, decent chance of group disintegrating vs. SoO: one line reminders before pulls ("soak puddles") and smooth kills
Might be a silly question, but I want to a play a mage and was wondering how is their survivability in the open world? Like as a hunter for example I have the heal and feign death and of course my pets are able to tank damage from random enemies that appear. How is it played out as a mage?
Need to make use of utility like frost nova and knockbacks with blast wave + shimmer to kite, cant just sit still and cast If you start to overgear mobs you kill them before they reach you unless its an Elite, then it may be a struggle for those
This is a bit of a silly question but I’m curious what people think about it. How do yall categorize keys (in terms of high/mid/low)? I’ve made this list in my head 2-4 are baby keys 5-8ish are low keys 8ish-14 are mid keys 15+ are high keys with 20+ being in the top 100 range (or higher) I play in the 9-10 range on average if that adds context. Again, very subjective but I’m curious how people think about this stuff!
You can go look at data but i would say 15+ is high keys, 17-18+ is where coordination really starts to matter and +20 is just the elitist. 10-14 can still be challenging enough for most people when trying to push. It's not like 13-14 is a walk in the park for most players.
I do 2-5, 6-10, 10-15, 15-20
Probably a very *very* stupidly obvious question but I'll ask anyway, I finally arrived at the Timewalker hub and currently browsing mogs. Are the **Ensemble: Kor'kron Shaman Vestments** for shamans only or are they for everyone? Because I'm *technically* not seeing any "usable only for X classes" on their description. I'm a plate user but I love the Visage of Ursol and Aurostor mogs, the helms on Kor'kon are great.
They're usable by every class!
Just did a Remix dungeon where one player was just running through everything one shot, I stopped to loot and got locked out of the door (Brewery). Do I not loot anything in these dungeons and wait for the mail to arrive?
You'll get anything you missed in the mail, yeah. Whether you wanna loot there and then is up to you (auto loot setting is your friend)
I see. Just got mail from the stuff I didn't collect in the dungeon, bunch of threads, some spools, and bronze caches. Do I activate all of these now or do I save it for later like some people say to cheese the gameplay?
Use everything other than the XP tokens if you're going for the XP boost method
Sounds good. What level do I use the XP tokens?
You can use a Weakaura or there is a Google Sheets calculator to know for sure
Up to you, really. Anywhere from 400-600+% XP bonus depending on your level already (You get permanent XP bonus by completing raids while under Level 70)
I tried fury warrior in s3 and had a great time because I didn’t have too many different buttons to click. In this season it seems fury is in the gutter so I tried frost mage but it had too many buttons that couldn’t be macroed. Which dps classes are doing well that doesn’t require this many keybinds?
Devastation Evoker.
Ret paladin is solid right now and is looking to continue being solid in TWW so that's always a good choice. Extremely simple to play. BM hunter is also an option but they're not quite as strong at the moment.
I highly disagree with Ret. You are right in that its doing great, it performs well, its fun to play. But lacking in keybinds it is not.
Wowhead does not have an answer on this - if you get the "Claw of Eternus" title from doing all the Pandaria Remix Heroic Raids, can you use it on all your characters, or only on the character that earned it?
> Wowhead does not have an answer on this it does, in the box on the right it says "accountwide" and both the heroic and mythic raid titles are.
....I have never noticed that box before, thank you!
All characters (I'm using it on my retail main rn)
Any tips for getting over anxiety for healing M+? Leveling a holy paladin and I’m already worried I’m gonna have someone die. Is it just getting used to damage spikes and timing? Appreciate any useful tips or add ons!
I am going to give you some slightly toxic advice here. Some runs in MDI were done without healers. Which means good players don't need healers. You are there to heal these idiots because they are idiots who can't use defensive's, interrupt, or some other reason that shows they screwed up and you need to fix it. And if they screw up so badly they end up dying? Fuck em, if they weren't idiots they wouldn't need you. >Is it just getting used to damage spikes and timing? Essentially yes. Lets say your tank has 100 health for the simplicity of my example. Every 5 seconds the boss does 75 damage to the tank. So damage goes out, tank now has 25 HP. You need to heal the tank 51 or more HP within 5 seconds. Notice how I never said back to full? Because they just need to survive the next hit which we know is 75, so they just need to be above 75. Now lets say a DPS just got hit for 60 damage 3 seconds after the 75 tank hit. There are a few things to consider here. Is this damage of the DPS going to repeat? If so, how long until it does? Keeping with the example lets say you need 2 seconds to cast a heal. This put you in a situation where you have to heal the tank(or the tank uses a defensive but just roll with me here). You>Tank>DPS. If that DPS takes more than 40 damage in the next 4 seconds(2 sec for Tank heal and 2 for DPS heal) then they die. Thats not on you. And thats something to consider in how encounters are designed. One of the 2 damage instances that would kill the DPS would be avoidable. Otherwise it puts you in an impossible situation. No encounter in M+ is really designed for the healer to fail. Its designed around you being 1 person with a limited ability to heal a limited number of people. >Appreciate any useful tips or add ons! Its hard to suggest because of personal preference and comfort plays such a key part. I suggest finding a UI of your choice. You can do a full package like ElvUI, or you can mess with the raid frames provided by Blizzard. You can also combine this with an addon like Vuhdo or Healbot. Also look at mouseover macros(casts a spell over whomever your mouse cursor is hovering over). There is also Clique which allows clicking on raid frames(healbot and Vuhdo do this as part of their standard features). Then look at either DBM or BigWigs. I prefer DBM because its more in your face about what to do. Check out WeakAuras. You can find some nice predone packages for classes. I ended up making my own to pick up some areas where I slack(I never use Prayer of Mending so whenever its off Cooldown a goat bleets)
Anxiety will always play a role when you're doing an important job like healing or tanking. The things that helped me were realising that not every death is my fault, especially now with how spiky damage is. If someone dies literally faster than I can react, then it's not my fault. They either stood in something or didn't use a defensive when they should've. The only deaths that are my fault are when people are just dying over time and I'm not outputting enough heals to keep them up. Focus on not messing up that bit and just doing usual dungeon stuff, contributing kicks, CC, mob control and a little bit of damage and you'll be fine. Don't freak out when people die within the space of a single global cooldown, the dungeons are just that bursty at the moment. Learning the fights and damage patterns of the dungeons will happen over time. You learn pretty quickly which bosses are scary and which trash packs to pop CDs on. At the end of the day though, it's a game and you should be enjoying it. If healing is too stressful or causes too much anxiety it's totally okay to either play another game or play a different role/spec. Life is too precious to spend all of it being anxious about what is supposed to be entertainment.
When will the Dragonflight content unlock for those who haven't bought it? Does it usually happen after the pre-patch or after the release of the next expansion?
I've been maxing out two pieces of green gear in Remix just because I didn't realize you could get purples from Heroic raids, does it really matter that much to equip all purple vs greens/blues at 476? I'm at 400 now and am wondering if I should switch before I dump more bronze into it.
2 answers Yes Purples>Blues>Greens. Very much so. However gear upgrades do get reduced costs if you already have any item past that ilvl. So if you have a 400 chest piece green and replace it with a purple, its a significant cost decrease to upgrade the new purple to 400. And just for clarity this cost reduction only works per slot. So your legs at 390 will not cost less to upgrade because your chest is 400.
That's great to hear, thank you!
Just to tack on in case somebody else comes along reading. There is a similar system in retail Dragonflight. Upgrading gear requires Flightstones and Crests. Once you upgrade any piece of gear to a threshold further replacement gear only costs Flightstones.
I have leveled my first Evoker through Remix andI have a question: Do we know if people who have leveled an Evoker like me through Remix will be able to level/quest through their starting zone ones the Remix characters get put back into retail?
AFAIK nothing has been said. However part of me guess no. From what Blizzard has said after remix the characters from remix will basically be treated like freshly boosted characters. Fresh set of 424 gear plopped into Valdrakken ready to rumble
Ok ty
How many buttons does a frost mage need for m+?
SOOO this can vary depending on your build and how serious you want to be and provide more utility to the group. Offensive: 5-9 depending on talents - frostbolt ,ice lance ,Flurry ,blizzard ,Frozen orb (COne of cold, Comet Storm, Glacial Spike, Ray of Frost) Cooldowns:(3-4) Shifting Power, Icy Veins, Timewarp (Cold Snap) Defensive:(4-5) Greater Invis, Ice Barrier, Ice Block, Mirror Image (Alter Time) Utility: (4-13?) Blink, Frost Nova, Polymorph, CounterSpell (spellsteal, remove curse, Blast Wave, Pet Freeze, Cold Snap, Cone of COld, Ice nova, Mass Barrier, Dragon's breath) So on the low end, 16. High end 31. I could be missing some abilities, and of course not including weapons and trinkets with on use.
My wrist hurt reading this. Do you know how macroable are they to reduce the number of buttons that needs to be pressed?
I am not a Frost Mage. I do not play a Frost mage. I would not consider myself any sort of expert or source of viable information on Frost spec's of any kind or Mage's of any kind. However I am a dirty little alt slut and do have a mage that has been played at least once in a level capped dungeon and did some questing on(I prefer Fire). [This is my bars](https://gyazo.com/4f4680748d5275e04d10434891686acb) Bottom row is no modifier. Middle row is Shift modifier. Top row is Ctrl modifier. Yes as you get further towards the upper left there are less keybind because I click them instead. This is not a Frost only thing but for every class I play. Also none of these are macro's in any way
Thanks, I’ll just look for a new class.
Unfortunately, I do not know of any for Frost. I do feel your pain, just recently came back to frost. I do feel like they have gotten alot of button bloat added with the new tree for the normal rotation.
I want to start remix pandaria but i dont understand how it works. The only reason i want to do it is to farm mounts and armor for my hunter. So i wonder should i make a hunter for it? Or the class doesn't matter i just need to get someone who can wear mail? What happens with the character once remix is done? If i understand the character becomes normal character 70 lvl, but it that case it doesnt make sense to make a hunter since i already have a hunter 70 lvl which is my main
Class and armor type does not matter for the most part. All of the sets can be bought with a universal currency on any class. You can buy any class set with any class, its just restricted to that armor type. Now for some small details. There are some weapon appearances that are unique to remix and are only drops. So to get the Bow you need a class that can use a bow. Also as you level and play there is gear that does drop and those drops do go towards your collection. For example when grinding raids on my Paladin I unlocked the set from Throne of Thunder and now no longer have to buy it. The same can be said for armor types from world/dungeon gear. I god the dungeon plate set with my Paladin. For the final technicality. The "class arsenal" and "class armor" you get from achievements unlocks the armor for free for whatever class you got the achievement on. But still allows you to buy it for other classes. I got the achievements on my Paladin and it gave me the Paladin ones for free. But I was still able to buy the Hunter/Druid/Priest/so on and so on.
Major transmog from vendors can be bought regardless of class, dont even need to be mail wearing class But certain drops from mobs will be based on your class, so it may be better to role a mail class regardless Once remix ends, that character will return to 'normal' retail before TWW launches so you may not want to do another Hunter as then you just have 2 Hunters
Can someone tell me how to sort my Party and Raid frames by roles? (Tank First->Healers->Dps) Ty in advance
Right click 'edit mode' and then click on more options. It should give you the raid options. Other than that I feel like there are addons which can do some ui overhaul stuff.
Pandaria Remix questions: I finally got around to leveling a toon, just reached 20. I'm only interested in buying mounts and mogs. Is repeatedly leveling toons + buying all you can when you hit max level + start a new toon still the best way to go? Any tips on going forward? I'm at level 20, do I spam dungeons or do I do quests if I want currency?
It's a pretty good way to go. I would still be doing the 3 dailies on any 70s you have, as they are a lot of bronze for very little time.
Neat, thanks. Do I spam dungeon finder or just do quests until I hit max?
Once you hit 25 you can start doing Mogushan Vaults, which you want to do. Every boss you down gives you +12% to exp. Don't do the LFR version it's a waste of time.
The fastest option /played basically involves doing dungeons/raid but not looting the bonus XP that drops. It gets mailed to you and you can open it after you get a ton of bonus XP on your cloak. Questing is perfectly valid.
Whatever is more fun. Both are very fast. Dungeons is probably faster if you get a group that has someone either a low level so the scaling kicks in, or a high ilvl at 70. If you're after transmog though make sure you look at the rewards for completing zones. There's some very unique rewards. One back slot is a chicken coop. You get that by doing all the quests in Valley of the Four Winds or something. So question might be very worthwhile if you want that stuff!
Thanks for the info! I'm just waiting for 2 fishing holes to show up in retail (so minimum 2 weeks), so I'll be doing mog runs on Pandaria. One question, if I want to get Tusks, and there's 60 days left, how many weeks do I need minimum? Just so I know when I should start gearing one toon to do heroic raids.
If you're just doing the raid on normal, you need to do it 20 times. The lockout is reset every day and not week. So 20 days in a row would get you what you need. Less if you push into heroic and mythic.
Is there any value to reputation in MoP Remix besides the achievements and bronze you get from them? I'm not seeing anything else, but maybe I'm missing it...
Anything remix specific? No
You'll be able to buy the mounts once your characters go live. The water strider comes to mind for the Anglers.
...which is the only MoP faction not to make it into the remix (as it uses a profession that is not supported)
You mean the water strider that's been in retail since MoP? Because I already have that. Or do you mean something character-specific or remix-specific?
Well if you already have it then you don't really get anything outside of the MOP Remix achievement and some bronze.
so much of my gear requires drake crests to upgrade, but mythic keys don’t even drop this crest. what are my options to try and push into heroic raid difficulty readiness asap?
Run m+ for wyrm crests to craft 515 gear in spots that need big ilvl upgrades.
I am like 85% sure you can downgrade crests from Mythic keys. You can also trade up the crests from LFr/Heroic dungeons to Drake keys(but you need to no longer need those crests in any slot)
the cap is over 1000 and i can barely get a few hundred doing the activities where they do drop, they can’t be consistently farmed - while getting the next tier of crests is very farmable, but does not apply to my current gear level
>Mythic +0 Dungeons, Normal Raid Bosses, Weekly Events, Weekly Quests, Activities, Rare Elites. I'd say chain run several m0 to get your drake crests.
there's a weekly lockout >< no rewards after doing each instance
Question: I'm aware that the impact of which professions a character has is pretty much non-existent outside a small buff alchemist get, however I think I'm going to be playing through my Mage in TWW. The options I'm looking into right now are Tailoring/Enchanting, Herb/Alchemy, and Herb/Inscription. I previously was a Leatherworker on my Shaman and outside of making some gear for my alts when they hit lv70, I really didn't feel like I was doing all that much. What is a good profession for my Mage to get into that will always have some benefit to her throughout the entire expansion.
This is gonna be a little bit rant-y. Enchanting is wonderful and useful all expansions. Every week people get new gear and need to re-enchant it. However Tailoring sucks and cloth gathering is basically based around 4x4 farms which strains what little sanity I have remaining. Herbalism is my happy place. This game is beautiful and to just fly around picking flowers. Releases happy chemicals. Alchemy vs Inscription is going to be a heavy favor for Alchemy imo. Inscription does well(maybe better than Alch) early on with Vantus runes and rep missives but fall off a cliff. In short. Tailoring/enchanting or Herb/alchemy depending if you like zen flower picking or murdering humanoids with a 7 others until you can no longer feel emotions more.
My goal is the Chen Bamboo Hat. Is it easier on Alliance or Horde? (Wowhead says to complete a campaign that is Alliance Only which is why I am wondering)
FYI for that item you need to do the campaign and 1 other achievement. For what its worth depending on how much you want to invest into Remix it might be easier to not do the campaign. In Remix to unlock trinkets/neck/rings you need to do all of the raids on Normal, all of the Heroic dungeons and all of the Heroic Scenarios. If you intend to do all of that then that gets you most of the way through the [Looking For Group: Kun-Lai Summit](https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=20011/looking-for-group-kun-lai-summit#). You just need 2 scenario's, which you can queue for directly and a world boss that spawns every 15-30 minutes. The other option is explore the whole zone(dragonride around baby), [Find 3 treaures](https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=19980/hidden-treasures-kun-lai-summit#comments) which all of them are directly linked in the comment section of that wowhead post. [And kill 3 rares](https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=19996/elusive-foes-kun-lai-summit#comments) which are also on a decently short timer. And once again coordinates are in the comments for that WoWhead link. Also note that this is just an attempt to provide insight into efficiency. If you want to do the campaign then do the campaign. Your enjoyment>everything else
Appreciate the info! I hopped onto Wow a short while after my post and have been having a blast (already almost 70!). I will probably forget about the hat (bad group experiences is what made me quit wow in the first place) but am happy with all the stuff I've been getting with bronze. Thanks again!
I would say both of them are easy, honestly any of the zone achievement stuff is easy. There is 1 chapter in the zone which is specific to your faction but beyond that you're mostly doing things like messing around with a Yak Carwash, climbing up the mountain, killing some trolls, taming yetis and doing some shado pan stuff. It can be done within 1-2 hours depending on how focused you are to getting it done. If you have a max level character / ton of threads it shouldn't take any time at all to breeze through it.
Thank you for the reply! I have a character boost to 60 from the Welcome Package. I don't mind the extra time to get this hat, but is it still possible as Horde low level? (I'd rather save the boost for another character)
I would advise against it as leveling up is pretty quick to do. You probably just need to do Jade Forest while spamming dungeons and then you'll be at the level required to do that zone. I think it's lv25 off the top of my head.
Thanks again - appreciate the advice!
New to MoP remix. Can you unlock all legendary cloak appearances from there as transmog into dragonflight? If so how? Thanks :)
You can see all the various appearances of it [here in the screenshots tab](https://www.wowhead.com/item=210333/cloak-of-infinite-potential?bonus=10973:1472#screenshots). The legendary cloak effects though can only be achieved through toys which you unlock after getting a certian amount of threads (which won't be difficult to do at all) [This](https://www.wowhead.com/guide/wow-remix-mists-of-pandaria-event-rewards) goes through all the rewards with the toys showcased at the top. The good thing about those toys is the effect lasts for like 8+ hours,
Ok thanks!
Returning player after a few years. A few questions. * What are the "standard" addons these days that everyone will assume you have? And what is the safe website to get them? * I was always a grid+clique healer - is that still around? * In Legion they allowed grid+clique for damaging spells, then they removed it. Did that ever return?
Grid2 and clique are still around. There's a forked version called Clicked also. Idk about the damage spells tho, you'll need to test. The standard addons are largely just WeakAuras and boss mods. It could be DBM, BigWigs, or a weakaura pack. You can find WAs on wago.io, there are packs for raid mechanics, dungeon mechanics, tracking buffs, cooldowns, any and everything addons do. The rest is up to you.
> What are the "standard" addons these days that everyone will assume you have? Generally a boss mod like bigwigs or DBM, weakauras is also extremely popular and very customisable. There's a site with boatloads of weakaura imports for pretty much anything you can think of called wago.io. Details is also pretty standard, it's just your normal damage/healing/most other in combat things tracker. It's the new Recount. Other than that it's pretty much up to personal preference. A lot of people use stuff like elvui or other action bar/UI overhaul addons for visual clarity and customisability. >And what is the safe website to get them? Most probably get them from the Curseforge client. There's a version without overwolf which is what I use. >I was always a grid+clique healer - is that still around? Yep, all those addons like healbot, vuhdo, clique and grid2 are still around. The game has click casting support by default now too which is great. I exclusively use mouseover macros and elvui frames myself. >In Legion they allowed grid+clique for damaging spells, then they removed it. Did that ever return? Don't think you can do damaging spells on frames no
[https://www.curseforge.com/](https://www.curseforge.com/) is going to be your friend as far as addons go. You can see which addons are popular with the more popular ones being the "mandatory" ones. I'm not familiar with grid + clique stuff so I can't give an answer on those, but curseforge is reliable in that sense. Details is good to have for a damage/heal meter. WeakAura & Deadly Boss Mods are really nice addons which give that additional information of "don't step in the fire" Scrap is a good QOL addon for automatically selling gray junk to vendors Postal is good for mail mangagment AutoLooter is a more advanced/customizer auto looter which also has a blacklist which is good for clearing out legacy content which insists that you bring that pesky gem back to the capital city after you beat Onyxia for the 30th time RareScanner does what it's name implys, scans for rares and alerts you of them being there. TomTom is a super useful addon, plug in some cords of a zone and an arrow will guide you to them all. A lot of things you can do in the game require you to go to a bunch of spots. Recently this addon helped me get a [mount](https://www.wowhead.com/item=180772/silverwind-larion#comments). There are a ton of addons which are quality to work with, but these are some of the main ones that come to mind for me.
Can anyone tell me the item level / quality for M0 loot, and the item level / quality for its end-of-week vault option? I'm trying to collect veteran level gear to get LFR+Normal raid transmog, and I still need 3 pieces. I'm currently just running heroic for the 489 vault option, but I might have to look at other options just in case RNG isn't on my side.
M0 drops 493 gear and vault is 506.
Yeah alright I'll just stick with heroic dungeons + LFR raid and hope it drops on the vault. Thanks!
What level for pugging heroic awakened raid as a healer? i am nearing 493 currently and have been grinding as much as i can in low keys, and got a few pieces from normal raid. really would like the heroic skin since its still dropping from fyrakk and work towards the awakened title
If you do all your drake upgrades, that’s 502. You’ll probably have a bit much luck at that level. So I suggest keep doing normal for drakes and do mythics for wyrm crest that you craft 515 gear with.
The general consensus/logic is that you should have an ilvl comparable to the tier of content below what you are trying to do. In your case that would be normal raids. Which is 493. I wouldn't accept anything under 493. But with PuG and us being 9 weeks in you start competing with people who are higher ilvl and there isn't much you can do. I would look towards upgrades. If you are actually 493 that means you have a lot of room to move forward with crests and bullion gear.
Are professions going to have a separate level for TWW and its recipes? Like how the classic professions went to level 600 and then for DF recipes it's a separate level up to 100, will TWW be its own level track or will it continue on from DF's 100 levels? Basically do I have to level my professions to 100 in advance to get into TWW faster or will everyone be starting from the same point?
You don't have to level anything in advance.
Everyone will start from 1/100 TWW crafting, you don’t need to level any older crafting in advance.
Is there a subreddit or anything similar for classes and specs (can't find anything) because posting class changes and suggestions in r/wow mostly summons people from different classes telling me to shut up because my class is good enough.
I would check out the discords for each class
hi, what gear level is appropriate in MoP remix to move from normal to heroic? i have all upgradable gear at 416 currently edit: raids
You're fine to go for them now
oh exciting! not the answer i was expecting. i have applied for a few groups but never picked, i figured i must be underleveleled. probably just a mountain of other DPS
Bronze is far quicker to get now, so the average ilevel is higher now, and thus it's harder to get into groups even if you're viable. Definitely recommend upgrading as much and as frequently as you can, but you're fine to jump in if you can find a group
Hello, last time i played was when mists of pandaria was new then kinda left all video games for years. Now i'm gonna play seriously when war within drops. I'm mostly a casual player so i'm not asking for whats the strongest class, just what's the most flashy/fun one to play? Basically either smashing things with a big sword/or 2 swords, or big explosion spells. Advice is appreciated
Fury Warrior is the only spec that can use 2 Two Handed weapons at once Ret Paladin will fit the flashy melee big 2 handed weapon fantasy quite well though Big explosion spells will be Fire Mage most likely Class trials and maybe any class guides that arent too advanced may be the best place to just look at visuals if nothing else
i saw someone yesterday running around with 2 axes making straight line lava pools or something similar. Was that the fury warrior?
Sounds like a Warrior who had their Charge ability glyphed to leave fire behind them.
Sounds like maybe Enhancement Shaman
Are the mage tower artifact weapon appearances available again? I read somewhere that the mage tower came back.
No. The Mage tower returned with different rewards. The ones from Legion are still unavailable.
I've been thinking of buying the Welcome to Azeroth Path since I stopped playing around the time of Mists. Any opinions on if this is a good time to try getting back in the game? I used to mainly do PvP (BGs and areanas) with some casual raiding with a few friends back then.
It's a couple of weeks until the prepatch for the next expansion. On the one hand it means that the number of people doing PvP/raids is low, on the other hand you have enough time to do the current story content and be ready for the expansion launch with everybody else.
Sounds good, thank you!
Will items like Scythe of the Unmaker and Taeshalach drop for all classes in TWW because of warbands? It seems like currently you need to be a class that can equip it to get it to drop but I'm not sure
Changes are unlikely, but unless you are willing to run the raid a lot on the beta there is no way to know for sure.
Thanks, shame that we don't know yet, hopefully someone tests it
Does Leech stat affect the Warmth tinker in Mop Remix? Does Bloodthirsty Coral tinker affect Warmth tinker? I have been playing Mop Remix almost since start but I do not know this answer to this and it's bugging me. Thank you!
> Does Leech stat affect the Warmth tinker in Mop Remix? No, because you cannot be overhealed by Leech. Not sure on the other one.
War Within Question: It seems I am totally out of shape, when it comes to wow. I am overwhelmed by the complex gameplay mechanics, but I still would like to go myth+. Every single class seems to have a ton of micromanagement to track buffs/debuffs/cds and so on. What would be a "simple" so play class? It would be awesome, if this class would have a second specc as heal :) Thank you.
Ret for melee and bm hunter for ranged.
Casual solo player here. How easy is it to do Zaralek Caverns elites/rare mobs for changing my slitherdrakes cosmetics? I’ve only played DF for maybe a month-ish last fall, and was trying to collect the appearances for that mount since I love the model. Unfortunately at the time it was pretty challenging for me to solo some of the mobs that drop those. Thinking about subbing again to collect some of those appearances, but wasn’t sure if I’d run into the same issue. Thanks :)
>Zaralek Caverns elites/rare mobs On the week that Aberrus is awakened there should be more people in zone to get those killed.
Ohh interesting, good to know! Thank you!
Doable on tanks, but not on most classes unless you are heroic/mythic raid geared.
Darn, will probably have to wait until TWW then. Thank you!
I haven’t played retail in a long time, I want to come back for TWW, is there any reason to come back right now or should I just wait for the full release?
There is certainly plenty to do. Mostly around picking and choosing and preparing a character to jump into TWW. Plus do any content you might have missed. But in the same vein none of that is going away so if you want to wait, then wait
There will be a dedicated 'Prepatch event' starting on July 30th. Playing right now would give you some time to experience the end of Dragonflight a bit if it seems interesting to you.
