My first level 120!!

Hi,

Yes!! I just made it to 120 this morning.

120!

So, what lead to this?

Well, I started off with Alliance and did the starting scenario. Very nice. The cutscenes were excellent and the scenario was good because you got to loot stuff and get BFA materials. Got to Boralus Harbor and was gob-smacked. What a freakin' amazing place. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the guards are there to find stuff and it's well laid out. That was Mentalbrit on Silver Hand.

I then tried the Horde side. What a disappointment. The opening scenario is not great, and you can't loot anything. So, I'm going to skip it on every horde character. I'm going to do it on every Alliance one though, and have already done it on a couple more.

Mentalbrit started off in Stormsong Valley and I really like that zone. The quests are pretty much straight forward and she got the explore achievement and got the questing one too. Next up was Tirigarde Sound. Again, a really great zone, and the quests were great up until the 7th festival ones. OMG not again, riding on horses and jabbing stuff. I got the 150 points on the 3rd try, and thank god I checked wowhead and found out that the 300 pt one is not required for the zone quests.

So, I got to 119 there after doing tons of herbing and herbing quests too. I started off Dustvar. I really like that place too, but the number of side quests is infuriating. I completed tons of quests to get to 120, but am still only 1/10 for the zone quest achievement. But I think my order on other characters is going to be Stormsong Valley, Drustvar and finally Tirigarde Sound.

So, there we have it. 120 in just less than a week. I decided that instead of taking all my Warlocks there, I'd start off with my Silver Hand characters. So, I'm taking Insanebrit there next. I really like the professions in BFA and want to see what Tailoring is like, and then Alchemy etc. Enchanting (on Mentalbrit) is not a great one. Fishing is also good in BFA. In 10 minutes you get enough grey gear from fishing to make about 70g :)

I got Felbrit on Garrosh to 111. I wanted to see what mining was like too. It seems great too. Lots and lots of nodes around while questing.

So, what are other impressions? I haven't seen what 120 play is like yet but I like the Champions and mission table, and like the War Campaign too. I only tried one Island Expedition, but the reward from it just didn't seem like it was worth it. We did win it though. So, it'll probably be do what's required for pathfinder, and then done. Talking of Pathfinder, it doesn't seem too bad, and I'll work on that with Mentalbrit while I level other characters.

Let's see what happened to gold this week. My gold came from leveling to 120 (about 15K), and then from selling lots and lots of Hexweave Bags. Trying to sell all Legion Mats too, but not many are selling.

It's BFA Day!!

Hi,

The day has finally arrived. It's launch day for Battle of Azeroth. As I'm writing this, there are just over 9 hours until the launch. I can't wait. I'll probably be having dinner just after 6pm tonight, but after that, I'll get on and level some Warlocks :)

So, it was War of Thorns week 3 this week. I did the scenarios on both Alliance and Horde. What a letdown in terms of rewards. About 29g in all. The only good thing about it is that you can skip it on alts and just hand the quest in. Because I saw on wowhead that this was required for BFA questing, I made sure to do it (skip it :)) on all my 110 Warlocks.

Preparations for BFA went well. I made sure to clear as much from the Warlock's bags as possible, and cleared my personal guild banks of most of their stuff too. I also sent some of them off to Darkshore to get a couple more 210+ pieces.

Arriving in Darkshore
The above is where the Darnassus portal takes you now. I didn't try flying to Darnassus to see what it's like now, but may do soon.

The work towards crafting a Goblin Shredder is going well. Shammybrit got to Tillers Exalted and got her 16 plots for Snakeroot seeds. Getting enough mats for 6 Trillium bars a day for Living Steel is tough. On average, there should be 4 from the farm, then you need 20 more Ghost Iron bars for the other 2. So, there's more Ghost Iron Ore farming on Felbrit to be done. A good spot is Windward Isle off the east coast of Jade Forest.

I'm still doing Garrison stuff on all my Tailors. Making sure to get Garrison Resources to buy Sumptuous Fur, and making Hexweave Bags.

I also leveled my other characters a bit. That's Bonkersbrit on Silver Hand, and Voidbrit, Elfyvoidbrit, and Lightbrit on Garrosh.

One other thing this week. I did stuff I saw in a post from the Gold Queen. It's farming Kingsblood and milling it for Dawstar Ink, making X of Swords to make a Swords deck, and then buying Cloaked Shoulderguards, or Darkcloth Shoulders, at DMF. So, I make 3 Sword decks this week, and got one Cloaked and 2 Darkcloth. They didn't sell yet though. I totally ignored the DMF other than that, as the prof quests only give Classic skill ups.

The only gold I've made this week is off selling stuff on the AH, and doing Emissary stuff on my 4 Garrosh 110s. I got one Medallion of the Legion this week, and have also sold lots of Hexweave Bags, and Legion Mats.

Silver Hand: Base - 500K x 3, 2K x 3. Mentalbrit: 20,423
Garrosh: Base: 500K x 1, 2K x 4. Shammybrit: 163,520
Draenor + EI: Base: 500K x 8, 2K x 3. Pallybrit: 254,377

Overall Base: 9.5 Million + 26K => 9,526,000
Characters: 895,935

Total: 10,421,935 Not bad. Up almost 90K this week. The token price is going back up today. Yikes. I don't know what it will stabilize at. I guess I should have bought one at 180k. Oh well.

That's it for this week. Leveling in Battle For Azeroth from tonight onwards. I'm playing a bit less because I have a new job, but I'm planning to take my 6 Warlocks into BFA this week.


Cheers.

Only 1 Week to go!!

Hi,

Yep, only 1 week to go until BFA launches. It will launch here at 6pm exactly one week from today. I'm very excited for new content, and figuring out ways to make a lot of gold with the new expansion. I think I'll start preparing this week by abandoning all quests on all my 110s. Goodbye horrible Legion profession quests!

Well, what have I been up to this week. War of the Thorns week 2 was here, so I made sure to do that on all my 110s. OMG what a horrible quest the Alliance 'A Flicker of Hope' was. Not really supposed to be completed and just 3 minutes of sitting around doing nothing after I figured that out on my first character. Horde had it much better this week, although it's still more of a pain to get to Darkshore for Horde than Alliance. I also made sure to check the World Quests there, to gear up before doing the week two quests, so lots of characters got a gear upgrade this week.

I'm doing a lot of Garrison stuff and Pandaria stuff now. I decided to see what it would take to make Sky Golem, so I sent Felbrit off to Pandaria to try and get the blueprint. She got it fairly quickly just killing mobs in Dread Wastes. So, Shammybrit is getting her farm all set up for Snakeroot seeds to get the Trillium and Ghost Iron Ore required. All my Tailors are doing garrison missions for garrison resources. A lot of them are getting very low on Sumptuous Fur, and need to get more. On Garrosh, Draenybrit is doing ship missions too, to get Baleful gear for all the characters I'm leveling there.

Oh, I started a new character on Silver Hand. I started a Void Elf there. I named her Elfyvoidbrit just like my one on Garrosh. I leveled her to 24 before realizing that I'd forgotten my naming convention on Silver Hand. So, I deleted her, and started a new one - Bonkersbrit :) Not much leveling this week though. With all the new characters I've been creating, I'm now up to 45 characters. Yikes!

For gold making this week, I sold a lot of Hexweave Bags and also a lot of Legion mats. They didn't all sell, but enough to make quite a bit of gold. I even spent 4K on Garrosh for Voidbrit's 280% flying :)

Silver Hand: Base - 500K x 3, 2K x 3. Mentalbrit: 9,382
Garrosh: Base: 500K x 1, 2K x 4. Shammybrit: 120,472
Draenor + EI: Base: 500K x 8, 2K x 3. Pallybrit: 238,033
Ghostlands: Base: 500K x 7, 2K x 3. Elfybrit: 439,645

Overall Base: 9.5 Million + 26K => 9,526,000
Characters: 807,532

Total: 10,333,532.  Pretty good. That's about 90K this week. BTW: The token price is dropping steadily now, and is down to about 188K. Excellent news.

Cheers.
