It's what I plan on farming once the Potion of Luck fucks off. Transmog runs through AQ20 don't take long.

Glorious doesn't come out of salvage crates though, as the crates are on the Eastern Kingdoms loot table, and Glorious only comes as Kalimdor world drops.
And maybe on Europe for prices that high where gold is inflated already. On my server, for example, right now Glorious Legplates (the rarest piece in the set) is going for ~140k.
Semi-related edit: if you haven't done the brawler's guild on characters that have the various shirt quests unlocked, it's well worth going to do them, each fight is at least 500g, I got 6300g from completing the ones I hadn't done in under two hours. A couple of the fights are a little tricky but if you overgear them none took me more than a few tries.
I just don't have the patience for farming like that any more (I did it plenty enough during BC/Wrath); I'd rather play other games. But that keeps the value higher for those of you that do
Ah, I didn't know that, I assumed the salvage crates just dropped all the greens in the game. Even so, I still expect all the valuable transmog stuff to spike with 7.0, even some of the lesser stuff will probably jump a good bit while people are rushing to complete collections. I'd expect those 140k legplates to double possibly, I'd almost be tempted to buy at that price and then flip them. Glancing at my servers (on US) the legplates are in the 200k+ range but I remember someone buying last month for 400k, he may have just been overpaying because he couldn't find one (or trying to drive the market up).

I was told the guild needs more ranged DPS in Legion. I'll main an arms warrior, but I'm a bit curious to play a discipline priest if damage is decent. I know that specialization isn't really intended as DPS, but the artifact weapons seems to be 50/50 on DPS/healing, slightly offset by relics.
Any insight on this? I mainly find discipline priest interesting due to the artifact weapon (Light's Wrath).

Oh and I guess the beta invite wave last night was because of this:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20747164703
Another "launch" test, today 4:30 PM Pacific.

Alright, thanks. Shadow is of course an option, but I haven't really understood this Descent to Madness thing. Will have to read up on it.
If you're in the US/NA region, then the pre-patch will be Tuesday.
Forgot to mention for NA. I assume on Tuesday you won't be able to do anything until the prepatch finishes?
I'm counting down the days left to get things done before stuff gets taken out.
Yeah, if the pre-patch is indeed coming on Tuesday they will announce extended maintenance on Monday. These patches usually take more time, so the game may not be available till late afternoon/early evening on Tuesday.

I've never gotten into a beta for WoW
Except for the open beta/stress test right before WoW's launch, boy that was a fun shitshow.

If you've downloaded the pre-patch for Live you can just copy and paste the folder over to the beta folder. Downloads like an extra gig but it's better than 37.
You don't need to dl it btw, just copy/paste your live Data folder.

If only you could send that my way. I want to try a DH badly.
Thanks for the heads up, I'm doing that right now ^_^
I'm not sure, but it looks stretched to me.

There will also be a specific announcement saying "patch on Tuesday".

Core is still the same number of abilities. Colossus Smash, Mortal Strike, Execute, Cleave, Whirlwind, Slam, Victory Rush, Battle Cry. If anything there's more activity, with Sweeping Strikes being subbed out for stuff like Cleave, and Battle Cry having a much shorter cooldown than Reck. Like every spec there are fewer defensives.
Patch comes out on the 19th:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/20176410/the-legion-pre-expansion-patch-arrives-july-19-7-15-2016
Can people shut up about it now? ;(
Edit: Amusingly the US post lists the date but the EU one says "nearly there" :lol:

the legion stands no chance
Edit: Wait pet charms stay in Legion as the battle pet currency? Shit I had around 1600 (enough for everything in Legion) but I bought some some lost netherpups to sell
it was painfully obvious it was the 19th, if not for historys sake then the fact that all the stars aligned with ptr release clients etc.
ONCE AGAIN for the umteenth time, this confirms if you see the 2 week notice, its coming on that day or that week barring MAJOR issues, especially if you see a release build on the ptr.\
also the new trend of 3 weeks for the CM notice, which has now happened twice

Oh man I'm so ready for the pre-patch. I actually expected it to be 1 week after the 19th just to have a week between the end of pvp season and the patch. So it's a happy surprise for me.
I ended up with a little over 10,000 Big Crates of Salvage. I didn't even log in to run garrison missions much for the past few months. Previously I had predicted I would have more than 20,000.
Anyway, can't wait. I'm about 90% set on maining a shaman for legion, but we'll see.

A bit boring that demon invasions, access to Demon Hunters and the Broken Shore scenario until a few weeks after the launch of the pre-expansion patch. Though I predict there will be exploits.
Great though the launch date of the pre-expansion patch finally has been announced.

Folks, weird question:
I noticed I was suddenly out of HD space, and realized every single Blizzard game on my HD is taking up double the room it's supposed to. My WoW program folder is 49gb, but on my uninstall screen it lists WoW as 98gb. The beta is 38gb, but reports on the uninstall screen as 76, etc. Same for Heroes, Hearthstone, Diablo III, and SC2. What gives?

If you're in beta, you should be able to create one with no requirements.
But, thinking on it, I believe I saw something about Blizzard testing for launch again, which likely means that DHs are currently disabled.
edit: Yeah, launch testing is going on, but I see nothing about DHs being disabled (and part of the launch testing involves order halls too so they should be available)

I'm ready for the ground floor of Legion. Got my Belf Retribution Paladin to 100, got my master license--which I won't even need for the forseeable future but it's nice to have--all hexweave bags on my toon, working on all hexweave for my bank tabs, been running Tanaan for gear and farming junk--Felblight, Medallions--to sell on the AH. Just doing random things to farm for gold while we wait for pre-patch.
I really like Hyjal so far. Even though it's a lower pop server, the current content is busy enough and the community there seems a little more calm and laid back versus what I've encountered elsewhere.

Just got an e-mail about getting into the Legion beta.
Better late than never I guess :|

I understand the Garrison hate (especially since I've played them a year less than most of you), but I really wish the nerf wasn't going to hit until Legion itself hit. There's basically going to be no reason at all to log in until the event starts in another two or three weeks.

2003 alpha client on lowest settings for fun =P
Probably can't touch the current version cause there's less variables to play with/available to access to force lower @_@
