How? With Recruit a Friend and/or some kind of potion boost? Invasions provide lots of XP but not that much.
Just full heirlooms, and joining and leaving after phase 2 (in Westfall I'd usually kill a couple more named mobs in phase 3 and then reset). It really does give that much xp, but you have to kill/tag stuff, not just afk. If you're basing your assessment on the xp it was giving a week or two ago, it has been changed since then, the xp comes mostly from mobs, not from finishing phases. Just go try it, you'll be shocked how fast it is. Join a group when the invasion starts, log out after phase 2, repeat.
I still got the best transmog set
Well 700 skinning now, can't be bothered getting my Leather-working up to 700
moose turns into like a 1% drop dont it? But yes, once Legion launch its "gone".
The mythic felsteel annihilator turns to 1%, the moose quest will be gone for good.

To be specific, I'm using RAF.
Both are 90 now and I need a break.
EDIT: I was gonna use elixirs too.. but they now cost 20k on my server.

There's gotta be like one setting you can drop a level or two that will dramatically improve the drop in frame rates when that happens with so many people throwing spells. Maybe effect density?
What resolution are you playing at?
I just ordered some parts for a new build and want to keep it at 60fps at all times so that's why I ask. i7 6700. 16GB DDR4 2400. GTX 1060 6GB. Intel M.2 SSD. I'll be playing at 1080p.
Think I'm going DK too. Gonna be Frost though and maintain Unholy as an offspec. Not really into tanking so I probably won't put much effort into Blood.
Now the choice is for my main alt... currently it's between Priest and Shaman. Can heal on both (Holy Priest was my main a few xpacs ago). Really like both Shadow and Ele, so hard choice.
For all these new returning players, Bellular just posted a good catch up video thats a crash course how legion works.

Hats. Nag Pagle sells one in your Garrison.
I was doing that on my rogue in Kharanos invasions. Full heirlooms except the ring, and was getting about one level per Phase 1+2....which was fast yeah, but it took like 5-10 minutes. So maybe 10 levels an hour? But then I imagined it wouldn't scale as wel in higher levels, since it takes like 2 invasions (Phase 1/2) in the 60's to get a level.
That's cool that it's that fast. I couldn't do that for four hours though lol. Invasions kill my brain after about 30 mins.
I'm curious how much the profession quests matter while leveling. I've seen plenty of people mention you should be doing them as you level but I was planning on going Herb/Mining until 110 for the gold and because I'm not really sure what professions to go on my DH.
From what?

I just noticed that the fury artifact swords are meant to look like dragons. Makes me appreciate them a lot more.

Invasion XP: Is there a point where it becomes more productive to go questing?
I rolled alliance on a friends server for my return to WoW with Legion... I planned to main a Demon Hunter but of course, on a new server that means I had to have a lvl 70+. So I made a feral druid and did solely invasions from 10 - 70 (took about 8 hours).
My plan was to then go and make my DH, but if I had read better I would have realized I can't do that without Legion pre ordered. I can't pre order because I already purchased the CE way back in December and it probably doesn't even ship until Tuesday.
So I figured, may as well get this Druid to 100, who knows maybe I'll even go back to it. Hence the question: at some point between 70 and 100 is it better to just start questing then it is to grind demons? Or should I just do that all the way to 100?

Sumptuous Fur and Raw Beast Hide for the most part from skinning.
They sell for tons on AH, at least earlier today.
So while leveling skinning from nothing to 700 I sold everything I didn't need which netted me a buttload of cash + some drops and raid BoE's and whatnot I sold.
It is never more productive to stop doing Invasions unless you are burned out by said invasions and want to break up the monotony.
I would just stay doing invasions. I rolled a druid out of opportunity myself starting last week when the invasions were much farther apart. So I would level in between. Now with them being almost up constantly worth just staying with them
That is crazy, I wish I had thought to do something like that this last week. I doubt there's much reason to with only two days left.

Okay... will do, thanks! For 69-70 I was gifted one of those 300% XP potions, I'll see if I can pick a couple of more up. Combined with a full heirloom set it was quite something to get near 120, 000 XP for killing a boss and finishing the wave
It would be supremely disappointing if this didn't happen.

yeah, from what i understand the game isn't very good at distributing workloads across more than one CPU core (and maybe it has to be like that because it's an MMO?). so it's actually very difficult to get amazing fps when the shit hits the fan.
I can't believe this. Wtf.
I've probably lost an hour of my life cumulatively doing the run-around to get to the other side.

Just resubbed and purchased legion. What's up with demon invasions? Just sit in say westfall during an invasion and profit for xp?
Tag as many demons as you can. The bigger the btter as they generally reward more xp.
Follow the group and hit the demons for shards + exp (if you need that). You also get loot boxes (700-720 gear) 2 times per invasion if you complete them.
Oh my god, this changes EVERYTHING.

Performance in this game barely gets better with better hardware. Everyone gets that low fps in big raids. Anyone who says they get 100 during that shit is lying.
Borderless windowmode cuts performance in general especially with wow.
Also shadow quality shouldnt be that high. That shit is always demanding.
