Lots of stuff is happening in many directions, so I’ll give just a quick summary.
Antorus Mogging
My plate armor toons have successfully run the needed bosses, winning two more items in process. Now they all have 1-2 items to go, which is a success.
The best strategy considering transmogs and extra roll coins is using them for the last bosses of the wing. This would mean that after drop you are required to go just the first one or the first two, reducing your raid time.
As there are less and less bosses to run with every acquired item, I also have time for leather toons as well. Melaris the Demon Hunter won a cape off the High Command, which means no more first wing runs for her :)
But yet I need to finish the plate toons first.
Grinding Goals
I had a desire to do a certain leisure grind on weekend, and Micromantica has acquired 1 more bar towards the fishing wizard rep. She also got the remaining 4 rare fishes, and got an access to the fishing artifact weapon!
The scenario was fun, but then I learnt what is requiered to level up this artifact, and no, I’m not gonna do it :) Yet I got the artifact, saw its bonuses and the acquiring scenario, and it was worth t.
Considering fishing, I may need the reputation achievements, and this is gonna be it.
Leveling
I may reconsider my leveling routines. Quests only are insufficient for leveling up, and I’ll be queueing dungeons from now on. What was thought as the last zones planned in Vanilla zones, appeared to lack 4-7 levels until I’m ready for BC and Lich King dungeons and questing.
Take Myde, my Arcane Mage Void Elf. She did Duskwood, Redridge, both Stranglethorns, Badlands, Burning Steppes, Swamp of Sorrows and Blasted Lands – and she’s yet to be 57. Basically she missed only Westfall and Searing Gorge from the southern part of Eastern Kingdoms – so you need to quest at least half a continent. I’ll dungeon her through to 58, as the zone choice is obviously about the order in which you complete them, but not the number of zones.
My strategy for further leveling from now on is always queuing to all the dungeons (not just the selected ones), and choosing the zones with quests that are, a) plenty and b) require many mobs to kill to enhance the amount of XP.
The side bonus for leveling is acquiring lots of mogging items, from dungeons and random drops. I end up a zone sending at least 5 missing models to the appropriate armor type toons, and my mogging collection grows. Despite being Vanilla lo-fi models, there are some very cool items which could be used for transmogs. I’m already planning a Zandalari-golden set for my shaman based on an awesome chest I’ve just got.
My top goal today is leading my Allied Races up from Vanilla – it feels really old for me today, and almost every zone is covered. I’m not sure how and where I would be leveling my Dark Iron, because every questline is learnt by heart today :)
New Allied Races?
That’s right, with a question mark. Currently I’m enjoying the vibe of my new toons, but I don’t think I would be leveling many allied races from now on. Even for an achievement and armor.
From now on, it’s gonna be just races that I really want to play. There’s actually no desire to play Zandalari, Kul Tiran humans or Maghar orcs for me. Dark Iron – yes, they’re very badass. And from possible racial ideas I would definitely play a Tuskarr and an Ogre. We shall see, but I could say that the paradigm of leveling every allied race is not so cool as it seemed at first. Even my altoholism has some limits :)
This is it for the day, and my routines continue :)
