I recently got Warlords because it was so cheap and I'm interested in Legion when it comes out.. now I have the level 90 character boost and I have no idea which of my old low characters I want to use it on. Hrm, what seems to be looking more interesting for Legion.. Death Knight, Monk, or Paladin?
Pick whichever one you want to play now. Legion probably isn't coming out until the end of summer.
YEAH HIGH FIVES
Though for real, expansion rankings is one of the dumbest things ever. I mean it's all subjective anyway, but everyone has different experiences with a MMO which greatly effects your enjoyment. Like for example TBC was by and far my least favorite expansion before WoD came around but I approached that as someone who played literally thousands of hours of vanilla. TBC dungeons were dumbed down on rails experiences compared to level 60 dungeons and the raids felt really underwhelming compared to Naxx 40 because the lowered player count and rise of hybrid specs meant they couldn't design fights like they did in vanilla, and ofc Hyjal sucked regardless of any of those changes.
But on the other hand if that was your first introduction to the game I can easily see why you would like it. It was all well made for the time and what they were going for, I just never liked what they were trying to do personally. I greatly missed dungeons being a part of the game experience outside of simple gear drops with stuff like libram mats, only being able to craft some items while in specific dungeons/raids, and the dungeon set 2 quest chains. So TBC having none of that really soured me.
I have until then to get to 100 then, I just want to know what seems to be worth it past that

Well, when you buy Legion you'll also get a level 100 boost
Ah good point, then I guess I don't have to be so choosy now.. thanks for the reminder!
I cannot get a Fossil dig site to pop to save my life. Solved like 8 NE sites already and I still have 4 NE sites.
We don't really know yet. Talents and abilities will get overhauled multiple times between now and release.

Hmmm...me too! I'll probably do it for sure.
How does that RAF level boosting work exactly?
Best way to farm old fragments imo is just solving Pandaria (Draenor might be okay now too) dig sites and then trading the solved crates for the fragment you want.
Unless you need a fossil dig site for a really specific reason that I am completely forgetting.
Thanks! Will definitely do it for the mount...idk if I can figure out two more toons to level to take advantage of the leveling shit, but it's still cool. Hmmm
Edit: Nice about the tokens...sold!
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Was hoping I could get one to pop since I was already in the area, but I gave up
Is there any purpose to WoW guest passes I've accumulated over the years from various boxes/CEs? I have like....12. They allow someone to play for free up to level 20 on a guest account...but isn't that free to all now anyway?
I have a bunch of similar guest passes for Starcraft II and Diablo III too if anyone wants 'em....so many CEs! lol

you can't put a price on sparks
i'd say its just a marketing gimmick. you hand it to someone and they follow instructions -- they otherwise may not have done so without some sort of message telling them to
They were introduced before they came up with trial accounts. The ones for SC2 were kinda funny as IIRC it only allowed you to play terran in multiplayer for a week or two.

Did all of Mythic BRF in an Openraid PUG this afternoon. Got my Ironbane and Savage Hero titles. Unfortunately, no Maidens trinket dropped, which is what I was really after. Rolled a 3 on the mount
Hopefully I'll have some luck next week. But this dumb trinket is Rune of Re-Origination all over again, being BiS a tier after.

Savage Hero is for heroic kills...? You didn't kill heroic Imp/Blackhand current? Slacker! lolDid all of Mythic BRF in an Openraid PUG this afternoon. Got my Ironbane and Savage Hero titles. Unfortunately, no Maidens trinket dropped, which is what I was really after. Rolled a 3 on the mount

Blackhand current I didn't do. Was AotC on Imperator. Skipped all of BRF. Could've probably paid for a kill for a short window there before 6.2 but whatever. I actually have no heroic BRF kills. It's all Mythic or LFR.
Anyway, dragged some people along to kill Kargath for my 8th Mythic Highmaul kill, so that should trigger my BRF cache to be Mythic now. Pray I get trinket out of that each week if Maidens won't drop it.

I resubbed a few weeks ago to get use the anniversary buff to level some alts. Now that most of my characters are 80-90 I'm working on getting flight for Draenor and man this is going to take a while. I had most of the achievement done before I quit back in January last year so all I have to do is the Tanaan rep grind.
Tanaan has to be some of the worst end game stuff in WoW I've done. It's boring and each objective feels the same. My server is dominated by Horde (I'm Alliance) so I have to search for rares during non-peak hours to get the fel fragments for the dailies. I really hope end game is better in Legion.
E: Question: How long does it take to grind out Saberstalker rep? I haven't touched it but I read I can kill stuff to get rep so I figured I'd save that for last.

I'm tempted. After some calculation I'll have flying in 5 more days so I might just buy a few tokens to cap off near the end.
Saberstalker seems to be a popular group in the quest group finder so hopefully I find a good group in the next few days. I don't really want to start a group on my realm where we will probably be camped by Horde.

Will it be worthwhile to level up a garrison, shipyard, and go through Tanaan to gear up, or will Legion just make that progress pointless? Should I concentrate on speed leveling leveling alts up to 100 instead as soon as I hit 100 with my current main.
Does a new expansion render all of my old gear obsolete?

Legion will make gear progress obsolete, yes. Though I'd recommend at least getting some gear on your main character.
MoP is a good expansion but I never really liked it because of the zones, I find the MoP zones to be some of the worst from WoW. Also while the lore isn't bad it doesn't feel warcraftish I don't know I always felt there was something missing from MoP that kept me from loving it like wrath or tbc. I am talking about the base expansion here btw because the patches were huge improvements especially 5.2 with the thunder isle.

Got the Int Heirloom ring mission on my alt DK. Up to 98%, max it can go just about without area buffs. Better not fail or I'll
Just need the Agi one to pop up now.

I figured I should at least try out the Pandaren starting area, so I made a monk last night. Gonna level it a bit and see how I like it.
There's only two days left on my trial, so I'm running out to time to figure out what I want to keep playing as once I subscribe. Tbh, I'm now considering playing a healer. That way I don't have to worry about one being there. I figure i'll get groups for whatever pretty easily as well.

Someday I want to learn what the hell is going on with female gnomes on the armory page.
Love it.
I like how you say now
Many ideas for legion were obviously inspired from diablo (weekly quests = bounties, challenge dungeons = greater rifts etc)Now? Legion is basically Reaper of Souls at this point.

Man, coming back after a year away has made me realize how much I dislike the worgen 2h animations. The awkward stance and the weird somersault just look so clumsy. I really like playing my DK so I'm hoping these animations get some love in Legion.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
All melee animations are updated in Legion.
Yeah watching the videos that are out there right now animations seem to be more tied to abilities than race, similar to Monks. It's all still a work in progress though.

Yea this makes me happy, they just need to drop the flip. Doing a full front flip in giant plate armor with a 2h just looks so out of place.
The fury warrior animations look fantastic from what I have seen.
Hey guys. I dabbled in Wow for a few months after WoTLK, but for the most part I am a noob. I subbed on Saturday as I want to start playing with a buddy of mine.
I created my dude (gob shaman) and got right to work. I finished the intro stuff and I'm in Ogrimmar doing quests. I'm level 16. Healing specialization.
My buddy who I'm going to play with will take care of me (loot, groups, etc) but I'm just looking for some general advice here.
I haven't really done ANYTHING besides go around, take on quests, and equip the gear I get as rewards. I have not bought anything from a merchant, I have not gotten a job (like mining or whatever), I have not crafted anything, basically I just run around and do quests.
Two major questions:
What are the things I should go do asap? Are there particular things? Or just keep grinding? I know Raids need a group, and I assume Dungeons do too? Or can I solo them? In games like this I do like to craft and fish and stuff like that.
Second question - I got a level 90 boost for buying WoD. I feel like I shouldn't use it yet because this low level exp will help me get used to my skills and will help me earn faction rep. I feel like I should wait until later, or wait and use it on a different toon if I get tired of this one at any point.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Wowgaf!

I'd say just keep focusing on questing and doing dungeons for now. You lvl so fast that crafting isn't worth the time, as you won't find enough mats during your lvling process to get much done. Once you're lvl 100, you can do that if you want.
Yes you can solo dungeons and raids... but only after you outgear them by 15-20 or so lvls.
