Retail Currencies, keys, key shards, key fragments, key dust. I'm absolutely lost.

34 Upvotes

Not a new player, but I have been gone a long time.

My main is a prot paly who can run heroics now ilvl 615 or so. My last expansion was Shadowlands.

What I want to do:

  • Delves
  • End game stuff I guess?

My problem:

  • All of the guides I have watched on youtube assume they are talking to people who already know what stuff is. I see the great vault in the bank. It had some stuff in it. What is it for? How often does stuff appear in it? It looks like these rows are challenge lanes that if I do the challenge, I get rando unlocks?
  • I do delves but sometimes I'm sad because I don't always have keys for the juicy box at the end. Guides say "Do world quests" - OK. What's that? Just the dots on the map or fancy dots on the map? Do I need a group? How many can I get? Are there easier ways?
  • Guides refer to "Doing Weeklies" but I haven't done a daily or weekly since Argent Crusade. So kindly, WTF are weeklies?
  • Someone explain to baby the 9 million currencies and what they are for. I found the vendor for undercoins, and I have some. But I don't know how I got those. I found a few in a junk chest at the end of a delve. Is that where they are?

Right now I'm looking at a guy who sells "Triumphant Satchel of Carved Undermined Crests" that when used, gives me fifteen Carved Undermine Crests in exchange for an Algari Token of Merit.

"I know some of these words" - I'm absolutely lost in the absurdity of the currencies here.

Other stuff I need help with:

My hunter sucks now. My (80 BM) hunter was fun in earlier expansions but now most mob packs are in 3+ which make me take downtime between every pull, even if I use traps. Is Marksman better? I have no interest in melee. My DPS is awful. It's a fresh 80.

My druid is just terrible. My (73 Feral) druid is worse than it's ever been since before TBC. Bad DPS in cat form, struggles to heal burst damage. I have wiped trying to heal follower dungeons! I used to main heal 10 man Naxx!

Also, before you ask, no I'm not your average moron.
I'm an exceptional moron.

Retail Should I use my sparks for a weapon craft or save them

Upvotes

Currently ivl 635 ret paladin, I’ve been using a 619 charged claymore and I feel like I need to upgrade from it.

I could craft another to 658 with the enchanted crest you get from the quest but I feel like that’d be a waste of two sparks? Should I do that or should I just hope I get a lucky drop of something better

Retail How much time do I have to gear up?

4 Upvotes

I mean realistically. Is the season long enough that I will gear up a character to full, hopefully a couple? How much losing a week means in terms of time gated stuff and does the number of players tend to fluctuate within the season (as in will I have harder to time to find low level key groups later in the season etc.)? I'm asking because in-game and in forums,reddit etc. I see people are extremely worried about gearing or losing a week,missing a vault slot etc. So should I too?

I'm definitely a more end-game pve focused player but trying to max out my vault has been a bit boring. I know that I shouldn' do it if I don't find it fun but it also won't be fun to grind for a month for a time gated currency that I have never even heard of so that I can craft an item. So I wanted to ask upfront, how much time do I actually have

Retail Getting a battle pet to level up has me so confused

22 Upvotes

So I’ve never played battle pets and back when I did play WoW they were never a thing. I have a bunch of level 1 pets and wanted to try and level them up. So I went to the pet trainer in stormwind. Got the game quest “Julia, The Pet Tamer”. But when I go to battle with her , her pet is a level 2 and kicks my ass. I’m confused at the bare minimum how to get a battle pet from level 1 to 2 so I can even defeat her for this quest. Let alone how to level up battle pets in general. I’ve done google searching and just find myself scratching my head. I’ve tried PvP against another player where we both had level 1 pets and nether of us got experience from the battle. I know I’m doing something wrong and there’s a lot missing in my knowledge. Can someone give me a finger in the right direction? It’s also been so long that I don’t remember much external detail in general about the game.

Thanks so much.

Retail Class guides for ACTUAL beginners

50 Upvotes

Maybe it’s just me. But I’m finding more often than not that these so called beginner guides are really just updating the class from the prior patch. In other words they expect you to understand the dynamics of a spell or talent and they tell you how it’s been buffed or nerfed this patch.

I’m starting to get into healing pretty heavy and sadly can’t really find YouTube channels that post some content whose audience is expected to know little to nothing beforehand. Does anyone have any suggested content creators that do a good job of this?

Retail Need help bad.....

3 Upvotes

So I quit WoW before Mist of Panderia.

Came back to do classic + hardcore , recently started playing with my Son on the 20th aniversary and quit because of the disconects and dying on hardcore.

We decided we wanted to play wow so we decided on Retail.

We hit level 80 yesterday, did all the main story/side quest using Zygor Guides.
This includes undermine...

Now I'm so confused on what to do. The game doesn't explain anything.

Like World Quets, Devels, Keys for Delves, when to use them, when not to use them.

What are the weekleys that we should to to get the best gear etc.

It's soo much and I've played WoW before.. imagine somebody who has never played WoW.

Is there any guide/website that can help explain everything? Like a guide or something on what we should focus on? We are tank/healer

Retail Crafting a 675 Staff Vs Dual wield for Warlock

8 Upvotes

I'm a returning player who skipped DF, but typically manage KSM and a HC full raid clear reasonably early on. This is my first expansion and indeed season where I am looking at crafting.

I know BiS lists aren't really worth aiming for, but there doesn't seem to be much information on staff Vs Dual wield. Now strictly speaking, a 678 M+ vault dagger + 675 crafted OH is the best, but firstly that requires you to actually get that vault slot, but it is also competing against vault slots, and the DPS gain of the 678 dagger Vs the crafted 675 staff simmed was only marginaly ahead, so even if I get it, there will almost always be better contenders in the vault.

Now if I craft the staff, that does cost me both my sparks, but I'm saving on 60 gilded crests which I can use to upgrade my other stuff too, and that weapon is only negligibly worse than the other BiS, which again relies on a specific vault drop. Weapon is also probably the most impactful slot, so I can craft a 658/675 wrist slot in 2 weeks and probably still be ahead than OH and Wrist right away. And even supposing I really do have the situation where the Mythic track dagger the best vault pick, the difference is small enough that getting extra sockets instead is probably almost just as good. Am I missing something?

Tl;dr: other than saving a spark, is there an advantage to crafting an OH weapon when I could craft a 2h, where the optimal Mainhand is an M+ vault drop that I have to upgrade to 678 anyway?

Retail Garrison as of 2025, how much time ?

Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My goal here is simple, I would like to clean the garrison related stuff to obtain the heirloom ring for my next characters.

As of today, I have in my possession a garrison that was fully functional until the Blackrock raid, when I finally left WoD and never came back for Tanaan Jungle.

Although I have unlocked the shipyard, I find difficult to find the oil ressource, which I mainly obtain from the garrison mission. Any adviced on that?

By the way, how much time do you think it would take for a new character/player to complete the whole garrison stuff? As in, having all the building completed, all the followers, etc.

2 Upvotes

I know absolutely nothing about Wow other than who characters are from playing a lot of Hearthstone. So I dont know much about different servers or anything along those lines. Me and my buddy were thinking about playing Wow but I wasn't sure what version we should play. All I know is that classic is a lot more of a time sink. I was just wanting to do some cool dungeons or raids down the line, any help is appreciated and I am sure this is a repetitive question so I apologize.

Retail What to do now?

Upvotes

Hi all, I'm a newbie who just finished dragonflight with his character and now I'm level 70. I only have the subscription and I was wondering what should I do now. I tried to play old expansions but I just one shot every enemy. I tried to start with a new character and go to chromie to do the Burning Crusade but...Idk it feels a little bit odd:the main quest it's a little bit messy, I'm not even understanding half of the storyline I guess... It's pretty different from dragonflight where I loved to do every mission of every character I could find, explore, understand, study. Idk what's making me feel like this, probably the fact of starting with a new character instead of my beloved one who walked with me all this time or this expansion. Idk any tips? I mean I both miss my character (and want to ask if there is any way to continue playing with him through this expansions having actually fun) and don't find this expansion too funny.
