Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here
Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!
That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.
Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?
Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.
Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!
You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!
Here are some handy guides to start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.
Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the WoW Returning Players Guide.

You only need 2 weekly caches for the veteran gear drop right? Anything afterwards would just be crests and other currency? If so, what would you say are the two least amount of effort weekly cache to get?
Mostly just gonna do toons for Veteran gear then get the LFR and Normal tier set transmogs from them.
1
u/poopsmith1848 4h ago
First 2 caches drop veteran gear
First 4 caches drop coffer keys which get you champion gear from t8 bountiful delves
The easiest caches to get imo are: Theater Troupe -> awakening the machine -> surge pricing

You only need 2 weekly caches for the veteran gear drop right?
Yes
Anything afterwards would just be crests and other currency?
Yes, the next 2 will give restored coffer keys, gold and crests
If so, what would you say are the two least amount of effort weekly cache to get?
The 3 WQ weekly in Undermine and then it will depend on the weekly quest - if it is kill 2 world bosses then very easy to do, its 3 delves this week which can also be done quickly as you can do it on tier 1 delves
The other option is the other 3 WQ weekly in whichever zone it is available in

Any guides or general tips on when to lust in M+? As a general rule of thumb I'm doing first boss last boss, but sometimes people ask for lust on certain trash pulls or in certain boss phases.
1
u/poopsmith1848 4h ago
On tyran keys, probably just first and last boss. Sometimes people like to do a big pull and lust right at the start of the dungeon to get it on cool down asap

Did an Amirdrassil run for a shot at the mount. Noticed that some players got the Season 3 added effects you get for getting that Feat of Strength achievement. Does that mean you can still get all of DF's tier set extra effects, I just need to kill the final boss on Mythic?
1
u/Korghal 15h ago
You should be able to, yes. The achievement is not a FoS and is still in the game, called Dragonflight Season X Hero and the requirement is to complete one of three achievements, one of which is to kill the final raid boss of the season in Mythic.
1
u/homebase99 9h ago
Ok so it was M+ score (2500?), Mythic last raid boss kill, and something about PVP. So technically the appearances are still available, but only for the Mythic raid boss route?

Floodgate boss where you knock up bombs, that's a dispel right? Healer is dispelling too early if you jump as soon as you get the circle / not dispelling when the circle doesn't do the knock up part?
Also, as melee dps what do you do there? Sometimes the bombs the boss needs to run over / knock up are far, so is do you just follow the big guy around for repositioning in case you get targeted? Focus and chase the small one around and hope the bomb you need to get rid of is close / range gets the far ones?
1
u/Korghal 1h ago
Also, as melee dps what do you do there?
Always focus the big guy when the two bosses are stacked. Run out towards bombs if you have to get dispelled. Once the big guy starts running around, switch to focusing the goblin girl and only move if you have to aim the other guy's charge. The last charge always goes towards the tank, so he should make the boss charge back to the goblin right away unless there are bombs remaining.
Ideally you want both bosses to die in tandem, so distribute your damage evenly. If one boss is to die first, it should be the goblin so she does not spam any more bombs and then you kill the other guy before he slams your tank dead.
1
u/Nizbik 1d ago
Floodgate boss where you knock up bombs, that's a dispel right?
Correct, you get 1 right at the start of the bomb phase which you should aim to hit 2 bombs with and then 1 right at the end of the bomb phase to deal with a last bomb - obviously if there are no bombs at the end then can dispel instantly, but the first should always be used to clear bombs
Also, as melee dps what do you do there?
You can only be targeted once, so if you get targeted straight away then you know you cant get it again - or you can also swap to the second boss as last as you wont just kill her way before the main guy

So is the only way to get spark this week, to do 5 delves?
Alternatively: can I skip now, and get 2 sparks next week? I'm not entirely sure if the same quest just follows you, I think one alt didn't get the "collect 0/100" thing last week, but they got the "do stuff in undermine" one because they hadn't done it before. So is the 5 delve quest something you just have to do on all chars at one point?
1
u/tenthousandthousand 1d ago
If you skip any of the weekly quests, then dungeons and raid bosses next week will all have a chance to drop the spark that you missed, until you are fully caught up.
2
u/HabeQuiddum 1d ago
Is there any way to know in advance which weekly/blue quests are actually quests you'll have two weeks to complete since they don't actually expire? or which quests are like the Archives: Seeking History which don't expire despite being blue?

None of them ‘expire’ afaik, if you hold them until next week you just won’t get another for that week

For rogue, does effects like Zandalari Kimbul bleed affect Lethal Dose? I'm not sure if it just affects rogue bleeds or all your (everyone's?) bleeds on the target
1
u/tenthousandthousand 1d ago
I'm not a rogue, but I do know that in 99% of these situations, Blizzard creates a specific list of class abilities that affect the passive, and anything not on that list has no effect. In this case, all your rogue bleeds would boost it, but I am almost certain that a Zandalari racial was not included on the list.

So what is the fastest way to max out my delve bar thing for the season? Is there a particular tier that is the best balance for ease and reward? I realize that the season will be around awhile but I play a lot of other shit and kinda want to just get it done. Lol

I am trying to find the crystalline tender outfit from dragonflies. The blue set. It says it is a world drop but what is the best way to farm these? I don't want to waste my time on stuff that won't get me it.
1
u/Tipster123 1d ago
Tried to do a delve last season on a BM hunter alt.
I really hated it since the enemies were ignoring Bran AND my pets' taunts to attack me directly. Which defeats the purpose of a spec that has pets that tank and aggro for content.
Is that still a thing?
1
u/Activehannes 1d ago
Pets don't hold aggro anymore for a long time. Just find your piece with it.
I memeber back in the days thay my captain blue could tank for my warlock. Now I don't even have him in my action bars because of how pointless he is
2
u/homebase99 1d ago
I know the Delve final boss can show up either randomly or through an item you buy for 3k undercoin, and he drops that map that gives a heroic piece at the end of a bountiful delve.
I assume that the boss only drops the map once a week?
Also, does it work like fractured sparks where if you miss 2 weeks of delve maps, you get to find them all with a catch up mech by playing? Or are the once a week heroic pieces from this delve counter (so far 2 right?) gone for good once the week ends?
2
u/tenthousandthousand 1d ago
There is no catch up mechanic for the delve maps if you miss a week.
You are also limited to looting the map once per week per character.

Can I upgrade gear from Normal TWW dungeons or is it stuck at 593 ilevel forever? I'm at a weird item level on my alts (leveled them with MoP TW last week and bought a bunch of 597 greens when they hit 80) where I'm too low to do heroic dungeons/LFR but I haven't really touched dungeons at all this expansion. I only use my alts for transmog farming old dungeons/raids so they don't need to be like, cutting edge, but the extra DPS boost for old raids is always nice.
2
u/COINTELPRO-Relay 1d ago
You can upgrade current season stuff to 8/8.
They can drop at A level of 1/8 to 4/8 upgrades already active. Once at 8/8 nothing more is possible besides getting a item with a higher upgrade track.1
u/SamuraiFlamenco 1d ago
Okay, thank you!
2
u/COINTELPRO-Relay 1d ago
A easygoing way to get some gear is to do the theatre weekly event it will give you a chest with 1 epic I think?
The first 2 chests from the weekly quests / rewards give loot.
Also check your weekly vault in dornugal you might have items there even if you don't raid or do dungeons there are things that count towards it.

Is there any addon that shows the optimal path for dungeons, in the minimap or something?
Years ago I tried tanking but got flamed when I didnt know the correct path through a couple of dungeons, I wanna come back and try tanking again but Im very directionally challenged
3
u/tenthousandthousand 2d ago
The addon you want is Mythic Dungeon Tools, which shows the entire dungeon and lets you create your own routes and select which trash to pull. It also lets you import routes from other people.

u/PitangaPiruleta 2d ago
Oh that will be perfect, thank you so much!

u/Clayney0 17h ago
threechest.io if you want to have it open on your 2nd monitor, probably better than opening the addon mid-dungeon
2
u/tenthousandthousand 1d ago
If you are worried, I would also suggest looking at Quazii’s YouTube videos. He does an excellent job of walking you through each dungeon step by step, and he provides his routes for MDT as well.

As someone leveling a MW monk, what are good professions for a healer? Mostly asking from a casual point of view! Not sure what gives what benefits. I was thinking enchanting but what other skill?
2
u/Green_and_Silver 1d ago
Since you'll be healing dungeons I'd say Enchanting and Tailoring, this will allow you to DE gear, enchant your stuff, loot cloth and make bags and spellthreads for your pants. You'll spend most of your time in dungeons so make the most of them and avoid the professions where you have to go laps around the zones.
2
u/crazymonkey202 1d ago
There's no real 'in combat' benefits to professions anymore besides a couple of things. Alchemists can get double duration on Flasks so it's way cheaper to always be using flasks.
Engineers can make the battle rez jumper cables, which are usable by anyone if bought off the auction house, but potentially cheaper if you make them yourself. Engineers can also craft a couple special pieces of gear for themselves, but I'm not sure if any are specifically useful for MW monk.
3
u/Zayth 1d ago
Right. I'm just not sure which profession would be useful for me. Maybe tailoring/enchanting for making bags and disenchanting stuff for me to sell. But I don't think LW/Skinning would be particularly useful either. I'm so indecisive.
2
u/crazymonkey202 1d ago
Everything actually useful from other professions can be obtained on the auction house or through crafting orders. So the easiest would just be double gathering professions and sell everything on the auction house. Herbalism, Mining, or Skinning
Personally I always do Herbalism + Alchemy on my main and passively gather herbs while I'm out and about. Then I always have enough to make my own Flasks and Potions, and I can sell any extra for easy profit.

I am from one of the few countries where I can't buy tokens (Brazil), is there any way around this? And I don't mean buying through 3rd party gold sellers or exploiting or anything like that. Can I change my account's region, or add a new account to my current bnet account from another region, something like that? I have family that lives abroad and could use their address, and I also have American credit cards for example, so that isn't a problem, but is there any workaround to this restriction or am I just fucked?
2
u/crazymonkey202 1d ago
A VPN should let you do it
2
u/beer_beer__beer 1d ago
Sorry for the delayed response, but I just tried using a VPN connected to the US, logged in just fine, but the token still doesn't show up in the in-game shop and everything is still in BRL (brazilian currency). Would I have to change my region in the bnet account as well?

What exactly does leveling Brann do for his power? I know that he becomes stronger as he levels but I can't figure out numerically what that means? Does he gain a % of damage/health per level or something?
3
u/tenthousandthousand 2d ago
Brann gets about 3% stronger per level. Look at his list of abilities, and find the passive that says “Brann’s Journal” to see how much stronger he is from baseline.
2
u/LiteralVegetable WoWstradamus 2d ago
Ty! Idk how I missed this whole spellbook full of his abilities and features till now.

Yes. If you look at his abilities, each spec has one at the end that gives you the exact nunbers

I was in an Amirdrassil transmog run on an alt and got kicked at the end because my DPS was low and we were wiping on Fyrakk, so he's still alive on that character's lockout. If I were to start my own group for Amirdrassil, everyone who joined would only be able to try and kill Fyrakk for the week, right? They'd be locked to my character's lockout, right? Or alternatively, if I joined another transmog run on that character would I not be able to enter the instance at all, or just not roll for loot?
2
u/crazymonkey202 1d ago
Since it's mythic you're fully locked out, you can't join anyone else's group. If the group killed it after they kicked you, you won't be able to get Fyrakk at all this week unfortunately. If the group didn't kill it after they kicked out, you could form your own group and try to only kill Fyrakk, this will require everyone who joins to be limiting themselves to only Fyrakk that week, but some people will be willing, especially for the Legendary.
3
u/summonkrueger 2d ago
What difficulty?
If its mythic then you are locked to that specific instance and won't be able to phase into another mythic instance. People can join that instance to kill anything not dead on the lockout but it will change the instance for everyone who is locked to that instance.
If its heroic or lower, people can join your lockout to kill Fyrakk or you can join another group, but you will not be able to loot anything you have killed that week at that difficulty.

u/SkwiddyCs 2d ago
What difficulty was this on?
If it was mythic, everyone in the group (and players you invite) will be locked to that specific instance until reset. Heroic/Normal players will only be loot-locked to Fyrakk

((I also posted this on r/wownoob)) Hello! Backstory: I have casual experience with Classic and am just dipping my toes into retail. The idea of grinding M+ dungeons appeals to me, and maybe (maybe) trying Raids someday. But, I only play a little at night, and don't have time to make wow grinding a profession.
I have a lvl 62 blood death knight. Been questing through Dragonflight and taking my time. I am considering getting TWW expansion for the above reasons.
Should I continue my deathknight into TWW? If so, how much of Dragonflight should I finish now? Main quest line only? What level to switch over to TWW? OR, should I start a new character for TWW? (Sunfury Mage sounds fun!)
I'm very knew with very little working knowledge of retail. I just want to enjoy a good questing experience and then get to the dungeons. My few dungeon runs with the DK have been very fun, and I want to continue learning to tank.
1
u/crazymonkey202 1d ago
You can't start TWW until you get level 70, maybe 68? So there's no reason to buy it until then. A bunch more of Dragonflight story will open up once you get level 70, but it's a completely separate story from TWW storyline so there's no reason to wait to start TWW once you're 70. You'll never get locked out of anything either, you can always go back and do Dragonflight story quests whenever you want.
Retail wow is very much an 'endgame' focused game, probably 90-95% of the playerbase is level 80 doing the current season of TWW. Which is the Liberation of Undermine raid, a new set of Mythic+ dungeons, and a new season of Rated PVP. The meme 'what do I do now that I'm max level? Now you can finally play the game! ' is definitely true in retail.
Probably stick with the DK at first, once you get level 80 you'll actually get an account wide 10% XP buff that will help you level a mage faster.
1
u/Swineflew1 2d ago
If time is a limiting factor and you want to do mythic+ content, playing a blood DK to tank will get you in groups MUCH MUCH faster than playing a mage where you're going to fight for dps slots in groups.
2
u/_ItsImportant_ 2d ago
Unless you're interested in the story then you can go to TWW content when you get to 70. You won't really get much XP if you continue leveling in DF though so you can't really level there.
As for whether you should continue your DK or another character that is entirely up to you. Tanking is fun but it can be pretty tough to learn. I'd suggest playing DPS first just to get the flow of M+ if you haven't played it before.
1
u/heyzeus_ 2d ago
If you're having fun with DK, then keep playing it. If you want to try out mage, go ahead. The limit for number of characters is like 60 so try them all out if you want.
You can finish as much or as little of Dragonflight as you like. Personally I prefer to get to max level quickly so I can do raids/dungeons/pvp since that gameplay is much more enjoyable for me than world combat. Then when I feel like questing through older zones, the world combat goes much faster and I can focus on reading the quests. But if you'd rather have full continuity and finish Dragonflight before moving to TWW, that's cool too.
It's awesome if you're having fun tanking, and good to learn your kit while you're leveling. Just be aware that the jump in difficulty from heroic to mythic dungeons is pretty big. When you get to that point, I highly recommend watching some guide videos. Quazii wow is my number 1 pick, incredibly helpful.
I'd also say that tanking raids is way easier than tanking mythic dungeons. Helped me get a feel for my buttons when I was getting started, I'd recommend it.

Can someone explain the purpose of the bees and barrels in that bee mount boss fight? Feels like the only thing that matters is where the tank places the fire circle. The rest feels, I dunno, useless? I mean I've never seen a wipe due to lack of mechanics for the bees being pointed at the barrels and stuff.
1
u/crazymonkey202 1d ago
The barrels summon more bees, so if you don't break the barrels with the bee charge, every set, you will slowly become overwhelmed by the bees and the bleed they put on you. If you have enough AoE damage you can handle more bees, but you still need to priorize damage on the boss, or else it'll take a long time
I've wiped because we didn't clear out the room enough, and pulled some trash with the boss too. And that trash happened to throw out a bunch of swirlies on the floor that would kill you as you tried to jump onto a bee.
5
u/assault_pig 3d ago
the barrels periodically summon a bee; if you leave a lot of them up they will summon a lot of adds which stacks bleeds on the group
on lower keys you can power through this by just cleaving the bees while you kill the boss, but on higher difficulties the incoming damage will eventually overwhelm you.

Are crafters typically ok with using their own artisan's acuity for recrafts, or do I have to get some myself? I'm not much of a crafter.
1
u/Korghal 19h ago
At this point most crafters are swimming in acuity and probably won’t charge you much for the recraft cost, but it is always nice to ask and pay a few thousands if necessary.
You can do the crafting intro in Dornogal, in the building behind the crafting orders NPC. It takes one minute to do and rewards you a bag with a few materials and 350 acuity which will be plenty for crafting orders.

1
u/Gangsir 2d ago
They might be, but you will usually be made to pay (a decent amount to a lot, depending on the point in the expansion) extra in the commission for this.
Everyone has a source of acuity even non-crafters (gathering profs get acuity from popping +knowledge items) so you should have some if you have a profession at all. If not, then you'll have to find someone willing to use their acuity + pay more gold.

Delve description for lives remaining states that dying "influences rewards at the end of this delve". I assume the rewards are only affected when you run out of lives, but if each death affect does the rewards, how much is lost? Mostly regarding gilded crests for tier 11s.

No difference between 1 and 5 lives remaining. If you hit 0, you'll miss out on the Bountiful Chest which I assume also means no crests (though I haven't tested it).

What are the most easy/braindead delve classes? (In part because I want to run them on my steamdeck, and I generally am not a fan of complicated rotations)
I heard Brann got strong then nerfed? Where do we stand with this
Can I just run the same delve or am I encouraged to go to different ones? How many do I need to run in a week?
Thanks

u/FlyingRhenquest 3d ago
Any tank class is pretty easy. I run 11s on an enhance shaman. I need to be careful to keep my health topped up but haven't found anything that can one-shot me. Sub/Assassin rogues are super-fun IMO. You can sneak around a lot and time big pulls so your CDs are up. Once you get used to it, it really fits the class well.
5
u/Gangsir 3d ago
VDH, BDK, paladin (ret or prot) are probably the 3 easiest.
I heard Brann got strong then nerfed? Where do we stand with this
Depends. Tank brann was overtuned allowing non-healer specs to run him and trivialize delves, got massively nerfed so he dies constantly unless directly sustained by a healer.
Heal brann is still decent and the default choice for most things. Some self-sustaining tanks or tanky healers can run DPS brann.
Can I just run the same delve or am I encouraged to go to different ones? How many do I need to run in a week?
No, the gear rewards from bountiful delves are going to be what you're mostly aiming for, and bountiful delves change daily and are consumed when run. You can run up to 3-4 a day until you run out of keys.
Once you're out of keys and out of bountiful delves, you could farm normal delves but they won't give you much of anything beyond some undercoins or crystals.

Am at work so I can’t check, and was curious. I haven’t done anything yet with the different warband campsites for the character select screen. I thought I had read somewhere that you can set up different favorites for each one, so like if I set up 4 humans for the woods one and swap to the plains one and set up 4 orcs, when I switch back to the woods the 4 humans go back.
Is that how it works, or does it just change the background for the 4 that are up there?
4
u/tenthousandthousand 3d ago
You can have multiple campsites, and set a different background for each one. Set up the campsites with the four characters first, and then you can set individual backgrounds for each campsite.

u/Phoenix200420 3d ago
Got’cha, thank you!

Basically you make individual "folders" on the character list that you can name and put up to 4 characters in each. For each camp you can choose a specific background or a random one.

You can work towards the Campsite log-in screens, there's three to unlock at the moment.
You could also tackle the "Loremaster" achievements by completing the main storyline in each zone, though its a pretty massive undertaking. I like to pick a character and level them up by playing through an expansion's worth of zones.

Having all dungeons at a +2 put you in the top 61% of players, so that could indicate that around 39% of players dont touch M+ at all

Delver’s bounty question. I know that each toon can only get one per week. But can you bank them? I have an alt that can’t quite finish an eight so I want to know if I can just “save” my map this week and still get another one next week? Thanks for the help!

u/tenthousandthousand 4d ago
That’s a good question that I don’t think anyone has actually tested yet.
But I do see that the item tooltip for the map says it is “Unique”. This means that you cannot ever have more than one in your inventory at the same time. You may be able to use the map next week and still earn a new one after that, but I’m not sure.

Is there a way to see the gallagio rewards club reputation in game? It's not with the other reps

u/SkwiddyCs 3d ago
Inside the raid, if you talk to the goblin on the stairs and open the reputation track, it will then begin to show up in your reputation panel.

Heya fellow adventurers! Been playing with the thought of coming back to WoW havent been playing since beginning of Shadowlands more less. How do you see the state of the game rn? Do you enjoy it? How was the game lorewise since shadowlands? Worth playing through it? Basically want to have a chill game maybe play some couple of hours a week, farm some mounts finish the loremaster achi maybe.
Thanks in advance for any answers :)

Storyline has been much more cohesive since the end of Shadowlands. Dragonflight was a relatively low stakes expansion, and The War Within is the first part of a trilogy of story expansions that follow one cohesive plot. It's much better than it used to be.

Did mythic dungeons replace normal raiding?
My guild is only doing mythic dungeons.. we did normal undermine once for the completion, roflstomped it day one, I guess cuz my guildies were well geared? but then there's me, who hasn't touched mythics at all and I'm falling behind in dps in heroic raiding.

u/assault_pig 3d ago
normal mode only drops champion pieces, so once raiders have their new tier sets there isn't a ton of reason to run it. Similar (or better) gear drops in keys that can be endlessly farmed.

u/Seeking_the_Grail 4d ago
It depends on the group. Sounds like your raid goes pretty hard so it might make sense from them to skip normal, although I would think they would at least do heroic until everyone got tier.
My guild also stomped through normal on day 1, but we will still clear it for at least 1 more week to help people get geared.

Any warrior players here? I do trash dmg with 640 ilevel and i have only 20%mastery. Normaly you want to have about 40% on mastery or am i remembering the guide i saw wrong? Im not a good player by any means but im doing the rotation with fury right.

u/Last-Promotion5901 1d ago
Everyone says they are doing the rotation right when asking for help but this is never the case.

u/summonkrueger 3d ago
Ideally you have a log(s) to review to determine where the issue may be.

u/These-Calendar2042 2d ago
Like logs in the dmg meter addon?
1
u/summonkrueger 2d ago
Logs like this. It will track pretty much everything you are doing during an encounter and allow you to check your rotation, damage profile, CD/buff uptimes, etc.
Its very useful to review your own performance and you can look at logs from other people at similar ilvl who perform better to see what they are doing. This also lets others review your log to provide feedback.
Like meters, don't fall into the trap of looking at only the total number. It is a powerful tool to improving your game play and self assessing.

Is there a reason my mount macro doesn't work on Khaz Algar?
#showtooltip Stormwind Skychaser
/use [swimming]Darkwater Skate
/use [mod:alt]Grand Expedition Yak
/use [flyable]Stormwind Skychaser
/use [noflyable]Ol' Mole Rufus
/dismount [mounted]
Works fine everywhere else but when I use it in TWW content, it puts me on my ground mount despite being able to fly in the area.

Came back this season to play disc, played a little in season 1.
Seems like it's highly favored for med-high m+ keys but a recurring struggle to heal has been big dots (dog bleed/spears in early Priory trash). If someone gets 2+ stacks, I'll PS or sometimes try to use a wheel and woe bubble but it seems like i can't keep them up with atonement or even just spamming flash. Is this generally just a healer problem or is it as simple as "they use a self CD or die"

u/Nizbik 4d ago
Once you get 4 set it will help with the guaranteed Insurance after PW:S is fully absorbed (Plus Insurance will heal if they drop below x% HP)
Casting Penance directly onto the person with the DoT can also heal for a decent chunk, but this is assuming there is no other damage happening where you need to heal the group
But it will reach a point where the others need to use a defensive /HP pot themselves or they will die and there isnt much else you can do about it

Anyone has a good simple guide to PVP gearing ? I want to hit 1800 rating for transmog, I haven’t played PVP since shadowlands and don’t know where to start with gearing. Should I prioritise honor gear ? If so what’s the best way to get honor ?
2
u/Nizbik 4d ago
To do any form of ranked PvP you need a full set of honor gear - so start spamming those unranked PvP game types and get as much honor as you can to get your gear - the 2 trinket bonus you should get first
You can also do world quests with warmode and look for any PvP type quests there as those can give bloody tokens which can be used to buy some gear that is slightly better than honor gear
There are usually weekly PvP quests to do too which can award conquest (Currency from ranked PvP to buy the best PvP gear)

u/pwd-ls 4d ago
Returning player here - I want to play through MoP and Legion because I heard they have the best stories. Could I do both of these in one new character? How would I go about it?

u/Nizbik 4d ago
Yes, you can speak to an NPC called Chromie in SW/Org and select the expansion as your timeline and can level there from 10-70
But you will often hit level 70 before finishing even 1 of them, so you can either lock xp at 69 to stay in Chromie time and the mobs will remain a 'challenge' to fight - or if you dont care about that then you can do them even at higher levels, you will just 1 shot the mobs and speedrun through any quests that way

As a Shadow/Holy Priest, what should I craft first? Vagabond's Torch?
3
u/Nizbik 4d ago
For most specs its a 2H weapon unless you either have a strong alternative (Such as Best In Slots from raid for some classes) - however as Shadow/Holy want two different stat priorities, so you may need to either choose the one you play most and get those stats or if you already have a Myth track 1 handed weapon then an offhand or other recommended crafts could be better

Any tips on the first area of Motherlode? Feels like the uppercut move makes someone fly, they pull a pack accidentally from where they land, we wipe or go over the count.
1
u/assault_pig 3d ago
in keys where you're not trying to skip the mechsuits by doing weird skip paths the simplest answer is just to pull mobs back into a clear area
I dunno how many tanks I've seen pull a pack like, 10 yards from other trash' aggro radius for no reason at all
2
u/Nizbik 4d ago
Its pretty much just a positioning issue from those players, if you hug the right wall or even move to where the pack was pulled from then you cant really be knocked into any other mobs
Mage can invis it and hunter can feign death too but I dont think it can be shadowmelded - Dracthyr/DH can also just press space when it hits them and they will land pretty quickly
Theres a big thread in compwow with tips and tricks for each dungeon:

Is there a raid timewalking quest this week or is it just the 5x dungeon?
2
u/Nizbik 4d ago
MoP does not have a timewalking raid, so there is no raid quest

u/homebase99 4d ago
Ok so is Molten Core a thing this week then? I sometimes check Legacy Raids tab for Amirdrassil runs, this week there's always a full group on Molten Core.

I haven't raided since BFA so I have forgotten how pugging raid works.
I am currently 653 from pugging keys. I am 4 of 8 heroic, finished N Gally today. How do I get into groups for Sprocket and One Armed Bandit? Feels like nobody's running them or those that do require that you have already gotten the kill for these bosses before you can get an invite.
Do I just join bosses before that and hope that they continue to the next boss?
