6.2 Arrives!

Hi,

6.2 arrived last Tuesday, and with it, tons of features and changes that will really affect my Master Plan, and play overall.

I guess the biggest of these was the Nerf to Gold coming from Follower Missions. This was done in 3 different ways. Less Gold missions across multiple characters, less crates from salvage yard, and crates not being as valuable. To see the overall consequences of this, I've been running a test on Alliance, and it's detailed here:

us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/18194074007

It's looking like it's about a 50% nerf, which is not good for my aims of getting 1M gold on each character :(.

For other 6.2 stuff (Tanaan Jungle and Shipyards) I plunged in with my Alliance Hunter, hoping to get Felblight from skinning, and getting the necessary Reps to Revered for flying. Overall, I think that Tanaan Jungle is fine, with the quests and general layout, although the Felblight grind got old very quickly. I got 33 Felblight after a few days, did one Savage Upgrade and then decided to stop farming. I think I'd much rather farm gold and buy off the AH. The Reps are going OK, but are a bit grindy. But at least there are quests with some structure for 2 of the 3 reps.

Another thing was gear. I was getting tons of Baleful Items (650) and just vendoring them because Fengsui (my Hunter) had better gear. Then I stopped to look at a vendor in Lion's Pride and saw that they sold an item to upgrade Baleful to 695 for 20K Apexis. This is awesome. Having over 40K on Fengsui, I farmed some more Baleful items and got a couple of 695s.

On the Shipyard, I did the quests to set it up, got a Transport and 2 Destroyers and just stopped doing it. Best mission chance is 77% and I'm not risking it. Stupid design Blizzard, having your ships able to be destroyed. And what's with all the Oil missions on alts that I'm never doing shipyards on, too? Shipyards is a bust for me. Once I get the rep to get a Battleship, maybe things will change, who knows.

Other than Alliance, I've been making progress on my Horde. I've got most of my characters through most of Eastern Plaguelands and they're holed up in Light's Hope Chapel at level 43. They've been spending a lot of time with Fiona:

Hanging with Fiona in EPL
I did progress Shammy into Badlands, thinking I was going to break her away from the pack, but decided to get all others to 43 before doing more on her. I also played Beasty a bit, getting her to level 73. She's just been doing Borean Tundra and tons of Dungeons. She's now moving on to Dragonblight, and will move to Grizzly Hills at level 74.

On Priesty, I've been doing follower missions and the Mine and Garden each day, and doing the August Celestials dailies and Sunsong Ranch, and Timeless Isle too. Yesterday, she finally got to Exalted with August Celestials and now has the Royal Satchel pattern. Then, she did the quests to get Twilight Highlands opened up, and ran Bastion of Twilight and Grim Batol. She's starting to build up Embersilk Cloth, and will go to Uldum for Volatile Life, to start making Hyjal Exp Bags for all the Herbalists. In addition, with doing the Fishing Daily each day, she got Fishing to 700! She also did a couple of runs of LFR, and got some 645 bracers for her troubles.

That's about it, let's see what's going on with the Master Plan.

The goal for next week is to finish the gold nerf test, and then probably stop playing Alliance alts. Get Fengsui to get more rep towards flying. Get Priestybrit Tailoring to 700 and craft a Royal Satchel and Hyjal Exp Bag, and level up the Horde a lot more (all to 43, and get Beasty into Cata).


Cheers.
