So, my first weekend of WoW in a very long time
Had some great fun, it was pretty weird to join raids with the LFR tool and notice it was a faceroll, the last raids I did before that were BWL40 and AQ40 back in the day so it was a big adjustment haha.
Finished the pre-WoD questline in Blasted Lands too and am grinding mobs on the Timeless Isle.
Replaced 8 of my boosted 90 set items already in 2 days, that is pretty cool.
Just looking for some good Rogue swords now, when solo-ing I use a Combat build and for that I want some new swords, any suggestions? (preferably solo-able)

We can agree on this.
The design of Wrath zones was amazing, especially Zul'drak. The only problem is that Northrend is so huge that it takes forever to get anywhere.
Yup, 4 characters a day, no drop X_X
What did the combat log say?

Anyone got that guide for newly dinged 90s again? Was posted a few days back
Magic Brooms are the best though.
Instant cast mountMakes levelling archaeology just that bit quicker.
sure if that mount was forever...but it's not...only for Halloween.

Here's my tried and tested guide to new 90s for patch 6.0, assuming your simple goal is to grab a BOA before xpac.
-if you have spare gold/honor like most people do step 1, if not, skip to step 2-
1. Feel free to let go of some of your gold on some 500+ pieces in Townlong. Similarly, grab any 550 gear you want from the pvp vendors.
2. Go to Timeless Isle and do the quests/sneak your way into a frog group. Farm for 30 mins and you will fill out your entire armor set with drops for your class.
3. At 496 you can either:
a) LFR SoO to get 520+ gear. You can do start to finish in about 2 hours with most groups.
b) Keep farming frogs to get charms and upgrade any 500+ gear to squeeze out ilvl. If you plan to do LFR you should do this anyway for seals.
4. Once you hit 510 you can now run UBRS and fill out slots in 550 gear if you still need to.
Extra bonus tip: Farm Headless Horseman now until you get a few of the ~540 pieces.
Your goal is basically to get around ~530-550 so you can get into a garry kill group on normal. If you want heroic, you'll definitely need at least 550. I took me about 2 days to get my fresh 90 sham to 525 and I main healed garry on normal at 527 for my boa. If you're anything but heals/tank you'll want to squeeze all the ilvl you can because that's all they really have to go on for dps.
Can you buy gear with gold nowadays? (from vendors that is)
Which vendor(s) do I need to visit in Townlong? (mind you, I have never been there)

The vendors have been converted to gold. You want to go here:

There's a marker on your map too.
btw when I see spare gold I mean you have minimum 25k and don't mind burning 1-2k. If you have anything less it's not really worth it (well, it's your time so you make that call) since the gold will be better spent in WoD.

Rizzi is right, totally forgot if you're really fresh you'll just need to hit friendly. This is pretty easy and you can get some loot from ToT as well. Also forgot to add in you can do a quick world boss run if you want as well and you my get lucky and get something 500+ from Oon.
Plus you can do the Blasted Lands quests going on right now and get a few pieces of 515 gear and a 520 Trinket, and they're fairly easy to do.

also correct! they fixed the no loot bugs so youll get some 515ish garbage but what you really want is the trinket. takes like 20 mins for the whole line.

Whatever you feel like, really. You gain a lot of xp from dungeons and their quests, though. Especially at that level, you'll probably get a level up or so off of each dungeon the first time you so them.
I don't think Throne of Thunder was available in the Raid Finder?
There were 4 available when I started and I think one unlocked (Nightmare of Something Something) after downing some bosses in another.
Not at my PC atm so can't check the real names...
I did finish that Blasted Lands questline btw and got the trinket.
This is my current gear : http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/tarren-mill/Evylle/simple
LFR splits the raids into different wings. The one you want is called "Last Stand of the Zandalari". See below for an overview of the wings:
Mogushan Vaults: Guardians of Mogu'shan and The Vault of Mysteries
Heart of Fear: The Dread Approach and Nightmare of Shek'zeer
Terrace of Endless Spring (single raid wing)
Throne of Thunder: Last Stand of the Zandalari, Forgotten Depths, Halls of Flesh-Shaping and Pinnacle of Storms
Siege of Orgrimmar: Vale of Eternal Sorrow, Gates of Retribution, The Underhold and Downfall
Ah ok! Thanks for clearing that up!

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Got my transmog ready for the invasion of Draenor. For Stormwind!
0/10 would slay in furious bloodlust
13 hours 50 minutes! It took me 12 hours to get my undead mage, my old main a month after TBC came out 12 hoours to get to level 12. Now I got to level 60 in that time nearly. Wow.
Here's my character currently:
Missing the goldweave tunic for my proper transmog alongside an argent tabard, but I'll get those. I think she looks cool so far <3
I love transmog so much. Single-handedly brought me back in 4.3. Such an excellent idea and well-executed, too. It's great to see everyone look different now.
All that said, every time I attempt to fiddle with my main's xmog (Priest), I invariably go right back to what it was within an hour. I love it too much:
(I'm really psyched to see the tweaked and updated Blood Elf models - likely at Blizzcon)
Are you serious....even with all the increases to levelling speed on offer, 14 hours to level 60 still seems so much faster than I could ever do it.
What was your trick? Did you stick to questing, or have any help grinding dungeons repeatedly from capped friends?
(Obviously full heirlooms and perks)

Lol I am only level 26 with 12 hours played right now.
Wait, are they still going to update the blood elf models? I thought those were going to stay as-is.
Easiest way to quick-level: full heirloom set, heirloom trinkets and rings and 300% experience elixirs.
Just keep hitting up dungeons and you'll outlevel them faster than they open up.
Leveling has been super nerfed across the board and is probably on a linear scale now all the way from 1-90. I managed to level my old WotLK priest this saturday and sunday from 80-90. Going from 89 to 90 took about an hour just spamming dungeons.
Of course, when I hit 90 on my priest and did the horseman, the first thing I get is that damn helmet which continues to elude my warrior. Blizzard is just mocking me at this point.
On the flip side, I managed to get nearly all priest T1 pieces from Molten Core in just one single run (had amazingly bad luck with drops for my other chars' transmog runs). Just missing the shoulders.

Yep! Just my conjecture that it'll be at Blizzcon along with 6.1 previews. And frankly, I'm kind of stoked that they're not rushing them to make WoD launch. Makes me imagine they'll really get some serious love and attention and be their own thing when they launch sometime soon (tm)
Blizzard would catch way too much heat if they didn't update only one of the pre-Cata races.
Rings are out of my reach; I no fish.
And whaaaa @300% experience elixirs?? What the fuck are those? I thought there was a rare drop off of Archerius on TL for a 1hr 100% bonus exp elixir, but that doesn't seem like something you could farm very practically.
Where do you get a lot of 300% ones ?
Heirlooms (without the rings), no XP boost elixir but the 10% boost from the hallows end bonfire. From there I just random queued for dungeons as a disc priest and stayed in groups that were good and left ones that were bad as I got instantly in anyway!

Cool. Thank you for this!
Is there less incentive to get a really high ilvl as a tank then, compared to dps? Cause I have a warrior

I don't think Velen actually dies in this scene, it seems like he fuses with that Naaru. Though I'm unsure if this is explained more thoroughly in a book or some later quest, albeit I have completed most quests of the leveling experience, so I could be wrong.
is it alternate universe velen or current velen?
or are they one and the same :O

It's alternate universe Velen. Our Velen is still stuck at the Exodar.
It's about what happen with Velen (Draenei leader) in the expansion. Some major spoilers i guess if you care about the story.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. I read it, I mean I didn't want to know about the story but it doesn't bother me so much, but it'd be nice if people mentioned if a spoiler was do with story/mechanics or something when they posted it :> just a suggestion is all.
I doubt people would spoil mechanics in a WoW thread. It's always about story.
