WoW

So I did have my Mag’har Heritage Armor at 110 but I didn’t want to let the Rogue sit idle at just 110 so I pushed for 120, that gave me #21.

Then I took up the Goblin Warrior and pushed him through BfA, just got my Heirloom armor as he was already exalted, that gave me #22.

So what’s missing in terms of Heritage armor now?

• Non-Allied Races: all done that are ingame, woohoo
• Nightborne – Level 63, 47 to go
• Zandalari – Level 54, 57 to go
• Highmountain – Level 49, 61 to go
• Kul Tiran – 100, 10 to go
• Dark Iron – 63, 47 to go
• Void Elf – 32 – 78 to go
• Vulpera – not started yet
• Mechagnome – not unlocked yet

So apparently there’s a +100% XP bonus live now, I’m absolutely not complaing, but it kinda shakes up my status updates. So I’m gonna post a last summary of levels, even though I already took advantage of this a bit. Honestly can’t say how much, but I think it wasn’t more than a few levels. I did play a lot today, so the numbers will be skewed from now on. (I use Blizzard WoW API to generate a daily report of my char’s levels and so I have a list of easily clickable links to the armory)

• Mag’har Orc Rogue at 110
• Nightborne Priest at 56
• Zandalari Paladin at 48
• Highmountain Tauren Warrior at 46
• Draenei Death Knight at 87ish
• Kul Tiran Mage at 97ish
• Dark Iron Monk at 53
• Void Elf Rogue at 24
• Goblin Warrior at 102ish

Didn’t play a whole lot this week, mostly for work reasons, but a bit of progress was made.

• Mag’har Orc Rogue is 110 (+5), Legion was a blast (and quick) as usual
• Goblin Warrior is 100 (+4), starting Legion now
• Kul Tiran Mage is 95 (+5)
• Draenei DK is 85 (+5)
• the 3 lowbie Horde chars got +2 level each

Doesn’t sound like “hardly” played but maybe my queues were shorter and from 90 on everything seems to go really quick anyway. Mage and Warrior are Prio 1 right now.

As I wrote I unlocked the Void Elves and Lightforged and of course I played around in the character creation screen and actually created a Male Void Elf Rogue, with no real intention to start playing… yet. So I chose Wetlands as my starting point, actually took the tram, enjoyed the scenery, flew back to Thelsamar, and logged out. Today while waiting for dinner to simmer in the pot I queued for a random (craving that Rogue gameplay…) and then it happened. I used stealth and noticed what I hadn’t noticed before: the male Void Elf stealth walking animation is so horrible that I simply cannot stand that… I finished the instance and rerolled Female Void Elf. And then I rerolled her again because the pony tail was wobbling very weirdly in stealth. I mean, that’s what every sensible person would do, right? Bit of a shame though, I really wanted a second male Rogue, I have 3 female ones already…

Now if only I had Heirlooms in the Feet, Waist, Bracers, and Hands slot to keep it all hidden, probably gonna have to re-transmog with every upgrade… Also I’m sorely missing a reddish blouse that goes with Bard’s Boots and Trousers.

So today I finally finished the Argus campaign and unlocked the last 2 remaining (old) Allied Races, Void Elves and Lightforged Draenei, yay. The Void Elf recruitment quest was nice and short and a little boring, whereas the Lightforged one was nice and short and really odd… but funny.

I actually don’t have any immediate plans here. The only class I’m missing on Alliance side is a Warlock, and I wanted to make a Mechagnome one – but I’ve not unlocked them, the real last remaining Allied Race. Because I’m lazy and not especially fond of the Rustbolt quests….

In Heritage Armor news there was some progress in the last two weeks – managed to get the Druid to Exalted and now I have the Worgen armor (thanks for the tip with Botanica and Mechanar in the comments, Pallais, that was really quick).

The Goblin Warrior got to 96 (from 86), Nightborne Priest is 52 (49), Zandalari Pally is 45 (40), Highmountain Warrior is 40 (36), Kul Tiran Mage is 90 (84), Dark Iron Monk is 47 (41) and the Mag’har Rogue is 105 (96) and maybe I’ll make it to 110 next week. Bonus: Draenei DK is 80 (74) – there’s always something to do with 8 rested XP bars and – which is kind of atypical – watching a lot of YouTube in the background right now.

I didn’t really play a lot of other things the last weeks though, just a little EVE. I’m kinda curious about Wolcen, but I just got back into the WoW groove and as long as I’m having fun in pursuing my goals… I’m really bad at focusing at several games at once, I know…

Wrote about this in October and July, but about the the full picture only in May, and so this is a consolidated update:

• Horde
  • Blood Elf – DONE
  • Tauren – DONE
  • Goblin – Exalted: 86 Warrior
  • Orc (not ingame) – Exalted: 120 Rogue, 120 Shaman, 120 Hunter
  • Troll (not ingame) – Exalted : 120 Warrior
  • Undead (not ingame) – Revered: 120 Mage (-18600), Honored: 102 DK (-30100)
  • Mag’har – Level 96
  • Nightborne – Level 49
  • Zandalari – Level 40
  • Highmountain – Level 36
  • Vulpera – Unlocked, no character yet
• Both
  • Pandaren (not ingame) – ???
• Alliance
  • Dwarf – DONE
  • Gnome – DONE
  • Worgen – Friendly: 120 Druid (-38938)
  • Human (not ingame) – Exalted: 120 Rogue
  • Night Elf (not ingame) – Exalted: 120 Warrior, Friendly: 120 DH (-38000)
  • Draenei (not ingame) – Friendly: 74 DK (-36500)
  • Kul Tiran – Level 84
  • Dark Iron – Level 41
  • Lightforged – nearly unlocked
  • Void Elf – not unlocked yet
  • Mechagnome – not unlocked yet

So the concrete goals are:

• Mag’har Rogue – 14 levels – yes, actively working on it
• Kul Tiran Mage – 26 levels – yes, prio 2
• Goblin Warrior – 34 levels – maybe…
• Worgen Druid – a lot of rep – maybe…
• Nightborne Priest – 61 levels – probably, just did a few dungeon runs again
• Zandalari Paladin – 70 levels – probably, but more slowly
• Highmountain Warrior – 74 levels – meh
• Dark Iron Monk – 69 levels – meh

I just started running some 1-2 dungeons per day when fully rested on all the Allied toons this week, but it’s tedious. Also I had a really long break of over 2 months. Rogue is fun and no problem, Mage is coming along ok but it’s slowing down and it’s simply not much fun. Can’t wait for 110 there. Undecided if I’m up for this massive rep grind on the Druid.

Totally forgot to post this, on Friday I managed to get my Horde Demon Hunter (boo, another Blood Elf) to 120, which makes it toon #20, but more importantly: the last missing Horde class.

Again I kinda forsake the gear grind, just got her a set of Benthic gear, did the Nazjatar starter quests and then got 2 half-decent rings and trinkets and a 2nd weapon. iLvl 386 after ~3h at 120. I don’t really plan to do much more, would rather focus on my other DH which is already decked out a lot better

This is the first toon where I jotted down the times for each level:

• at ding 110: 6:04
• 111: 19 minutes
• 112: 30 minutes
• 113: 31 minutes
• 114: 51 minutes
• 115: 36 minutes
• 116: 41 minutes
• 117: 41 minutes
• 118: 46 minutes,
• 119: 37 minutes, doing the 3 strongholds for the war campaign
• 120: 49 minutes and quite a few deaths despite 10% spillover from last one
• total: 6h 22 minutes, mostly rested and 100% uptime on the +15% anniversary buff

So yes, it’s a Demon Hunter that starts at Level 98, but iLvl 386 after 12,5h of playtime is a little ridiculous. 6h for Legion, 6h for BfA.

Still sick at home so I played a little more WoW. My Dwarven Hunter is now 120, which makes 19 max-level toons. He got the full Benthic treatment and again I’m missing rings (268+284), was a bit lucky with Trinket WQs (360+370), which makes him sit at 371 iLvl (370 MH Bow as well).

For some reason I was fed up with bag space on several toons today, so I made a spreadsheet of all 27 (19 110+ and 8 lowbies) non-bank toons on my main server and thanks to the Altoholic addon I could quickly jot down who has which bag and size, without having to log through them all. To my surprise I didn’t grab the free 28 bag from a Tiragarde Sound Rare (Totes) on most of them, and a few were also missing the free 26 slot Legion bag from Addie in Highmountain. Interestingly WoD didn’t seem to have one, as the next fitting one is the 24 slot Grummlepack from Pandaria’s Kun-Lai Summit. So I killed Totes roughly 13 times, did the Addie quest like 5 times, handed out some 30 slot Netherweave bags I’ve been dutifully crafting and then most of it looked fine. Found enough non-BoE/BoP 16 slot bags to shuffle them around to all the ones who didn’t have all their bank slots unlocked and so on. I didn’t write down the exact numbers but I think most toons gained 4-10 slots in their bags and also in the bank. The only problem was still my Rogue main who didn’t benefit from the upgrades (gonna get the 28 slot at some point, but he’s on all 26+ already anyway) and was still at 0 free bank space. Yes, I’m keeping too much shit since Vanilla. In the end I managed to sell 10 armor pieces, throw out 5 bogus buff items and move ~15 Tier armor pieces to the Void Storage, which is also 3/4 full. But in the end even he reclaimed 29 slots. This took like 5h in total but it’s worth it. I also managed to redistribute some stuff and overall this will save time. But I still have like 60 greens to disenchant.

Also the 15 year anniversary event started today and it gives a nice +15% exp and rep buff for the next 2 months. I took advantage of that and also cleaned out some WQs and Emissaries (it’s also +50% bonus WQ rep). And I finally brought some Nazjatar allies to Rank 3 to get the Necklace bonus trait on the toons who are Azerite Level 55 already. Also finally cleaning out the quest logs.

With the Hunter at 120 – what’s next? My 3rd Rogue will be put on the backburner now, she’s at 390 iLvl and in a state I can absolutely see her as “finished”, being on the remote server and all – I already put in ~10h more at max level than originally planned.

• 110 Blood Elf Demon Hunter – my last missing Horde class, tempting
• 70 Draenei DK – with Horde being so lonely I kinda prefer my Ally guild right now, also tempting
• 72 Kul Tiran Mage – leveling only in Random Dungeons so far, could be pumped up a little
• 73 Worgen Priest – pass for now I think
• 82 Mag’har Orc Rogue – staying with Random Dungeons I think
• 42 Nightborne Priest – Random Dungeons it is
• 34 Zandalari Troll Paladin – more Random Dungeons
• 34 Dark Iron Dwarf Monk – guess what? Random Dungeons!

I’ve not done a lot of interesting things the last 2 weeks, mostly because of a nasty flu that didn’t so much knock me down to bed but more made my head completely dizzy and unable to concentrate on anything but a few dailies and grinding. I didn’t even dare to login to Classic because I found the questing to be too hard. Yay.

I’m still trying to catch up all the professions from Legion, and some from Draenor (mostly Alliance) so I was busy gathering some mats, at the same time doing some Broken Isles WQs and Emissary Quests. And a few Mythic 5man solo dungeon runs because those are a joke at 120.

Legion Mining seems to be a pain and my Human Rogue is lacking most of the points, Draenor Inscription seems to be fine with 1-2 points per day if you remember. On the other hand Mining will fuel my lackluster Legion Jewelcrafting which seems to need a ton of Ore to prospect. Kinda glad I don’t even have a BS on alliance side. Overall there seems to be a reason that despite playing a few toons in Legion I never have been so sloppy with professions, because they were horrible. BfA is better, but not by a huge margin – but I at least have the gathering ones maxed on nearly all toons and am well beyond 100 on some crafting ones.

Draenor Cooking is mostly mailing the correct staple of mats around and maybe buying a few things at the Garrison. Horde has been done for a while but I only have 2 Alliance garrisons, and need the last 5 points of Draenor Cooking on the 7th Alliance toon.

And lastly I’m grinding out Legionfall, Argussian Reach and Army of the Light rep on the Rogue and do a few Broken Isles Emissary Quests on the Shaman, my Legion Horde main who is progressed most. Need to tick those checkboxes 😛
