I did a relative smooth Halls of Lightning run and received this nice hammer at last from Loken!
He also dropped the shoulder token to buy this itemā¦
And with it, Iām full epic and I have a nice load of hit rating too :3
Iām a happy elf.
Doing and timing my first M+ 10 todayā¦ I hate not knowing how to do something and letting people down so avoided thunderingā¦ Well I said Iād never done it before but got invited anyway, nice community run, easily timed (and no deaths from me 
) ā¦ well it was nothing to worry about at all really (as things tend to be )
Same community -raids 7/8N (8 WILL go down tonight - 4/8H.)
After my pugging woes of Shadowlands (good - āchilledā ) communities really have brought the game alive for me.
Raz down, after a 1% 3 million wipe was done a couple of pulls later. No loot though (14 raid bosses over three levels this week - one tier piece to replace the one tier piece I had).
Transmogg at higher level is too expensive, so I donāt do it.
I go Vanilla style, as you can see in this character.
My only exception, is the chest and boots, bought from crafting players, in the AH.
The Mail and Leather are cheap, to transmogg in to their right color counterparts, to complete my characters DF look.
I donāt transmogg crafted plate (too expensive) and crafted cloth (it looks amazing 
).
The downsides are evident: I canāt make my characters look like I want.
The upside is: I know exactly what they are wearing 
Today I had to go 25 level 61+ characters and find which ones had the crafted 316 cape and which didnāt. All I had to do was: turn them around in the log in screen 
P.s. I had to move thios post from the frown section as this was a positive post 
Edit: typing.
Cheers.
Is it really that expensive? Itās basically one race world quest 
Unless, of course, you havenāt made it to the current expansion
Itās more of a income problem tbh. I donāt have a level 70 yet. Iām leveling 25 characters at the same time as itās easier to repeat the quests when they are freshly done.
Try to imagine, that my only source of gold comes from:
Iām too tired to play during my work days so I just venture in to the AH looking for good deals to buy for my characters. For example 2 days ago, I had around 7 rings iLV 316 for level 61 characters at around 175g. Now someone probably purchased the whole batch and reposted them at 3999g.
Thatās why, when this opportunities come, you have to be quick to act 
Luckily for me, I got everything I need, for all of my characters main specs.
You see the pre-patch event was supposed to provide for most of my characters with enough iLV to have a cake walk in DF. Oh boy, how was I wrong ā¦
Scaling says hello 
I was doing the initial chain quests given by Wrathion in which you have to talk with 3 spies and eliminate a female leader from a tribe that has been fighting them.
My fully enchanted BE Hunter main got obliterated by a normal NPC 3 times.
Each time she resurrected she got killed again. After almost being killed a 4th time I managed to take that NPC down and HS back to the embassy.
I went there with my BE Rogue and inspect what the hell was going down on that place.
Started the quest again and long behold the NPC that was killing my main was a level 70. Thatās 9 levels what they were supposed to be fighting against. They were both at level 61.
I did the quests however the lava lake (dot and break stealth) that she had to cross multiple times, because I was trying to find the hidden spies, cost her to be killed once by that same level 70 NPC and after she teleported back to the embassy, I was met with 25g in repairs 
I didnāt even noticed how much my BE Hunter had to pay in repair costs but it was probably 3 times more.
Thatās why I decided to stop leveling and just gear up everyone.
Hereās what I have to deal on a daily basis:

As you noticed Iām not even mentioned the other slots that are not being equipped.
I also had to create a separate list for whatās not enchanted, gemed and needs to be replaced.
The list is outdated as everyone is now on level 61.
Edit: typing and spelling
Cheers.
Well, the gear doesnāt seem to be an issue. You hit 70 with ~300 ilvl. The issue for your blood elf was that she fought something way higher than her and misses were way more often plus health scaling changes ALOT
Mixed report - cleared a +20 Shadowmoon with my guild!
Buuutā¦ I kind of ruined it by stepping into the frikking wall on the last boss. As the healer, thatās kind of cripplingly problematic.
I mean, Iām glad my character can handle the easiest +20, Iām just shamed by my own incompetence 
With all due respect, trying to do that many characters is a problem - I see youāre an altoholic but I was like you at the start of SL and totally burnt out at it, doing Thorgast 10x2 times a week, 12 keys (1 for each class), world bosses and whatnotā¦ take it slow! Just funnel resources into one character and go nice and snug. It wonāt too much make or break your alts if they have the crafted gear right away - secondaries are gonna inflate and go away by lvl67, even earlier.
Yeah, I agree with you, itās pretty madness.
During Vanilla, this character was my main and I had no desire to level my Orc Warrior past level 49 and my Troll Shaman past level 29.
During TBC my recently created Forsaken Priest took the role of main. I raided Karazhan with her and this character was my alt.
During Legion my recently created BE Hunter, was my main. I had used the boost on her. My BE Monk was the low level alt.
Hereās a small story of what happened in my other account bought in UK during Legion launch. This happened when I came back to that account during BFA launch.
I was leveling 4 BE characters from level 1.
Paladin, Hunter, Rogue and a Priest.
The idea was leveling all 4 of them to level 120.
I had a level 110 boost that had came with BFA purchase. I used on my Paladin.
I thought in going back to level my other 3 characters and that never happened.
The thought of having to repeat all the quests I did on my Paladin up until the 1st Raid just made me gave up.
Back to this account, I used the BFA boost ony BE Mage.
I leveled 10 characters to max level when Korrakās revenge was introduced the 1st time.
I didnāt purchased SL and thatās where the other 15 characters were leveled. Through LFD. Old characters that were deleted, but brought back thanks to Blizzardās new recovery button like my Troll Shaman from Vanilla. New characters created to fit BFA narrative (just in case the writers decide to go back to another āmorally greyā story again).
I already see it will take a lot of time to reach level 70. Probably none will be doing this current Raid as another will be probably undergoing.
I only do TW, LFD, LFR and perhaps LFD in heroic level. Thatās all.
Iām aiming for the next pre-patch event and the last LFR of DF. Hopefully I can get the last raid boss down on LFR for all of my characters.
P.s. All of my characters, have max rested XP and because I donāt play any of them often, it means: Iām always leveling with rested XP bonus.
Edit: typing.
Cheers
It can be in the region of 800g if none void elf thats like 2 races and if you mog alot of chars Like Amaz x 25 chars it soon adds up.
They just arenāt getting mogged, maybe once
With a little imagination they can be made look good.
You just transmogg the cheapest parts 
Vanilla characters:
The Shaman was brought back from deletion 
TBC characters:
Character created during a free trial 7 days period I donāt recall when (brought back from deletion):
Legion characters:
BFA characters:
Funny fact: this is when BoE Glaives started dropping and I had to create a DH.
Legion, low level alts characters, deleted and brought back:
Characters created during SL:
Darker characters created in Legion (probably) :
Darker characters created during SL :
Nameless adventurers (Free to play), created when I was unsubscribed before September 2022:
Edit: Character creation dates, corrected.
Edit 2: I forgot this guy, made during SL, because I wanted all the Horde basic races (Allied races excluded):
I always forget I have this guy 
.
This is my 25th character.
Cheers.
Oh, I have over 50. Iām mogging all the time
After killing a rare and on lower health than comfortable, noticed a molten mining node
Cool, river is near, so no worries, mine it and cool off the debuff so wont burn to crisps
Great plan!
So I mined it and jumped in the river
ā¦where a bunch of piranha tore me apart 
For some reason I failed to notice half a dozen hungry fish in the water
It was hilarious
Considering how few horde there are on the realm, I shall assume any horde I see is an alt of Amazoner
Yup 
Add that, the fact, when Kul-Tyras opened for transfers from Silvermoon (Alliance realm), most of the players that came here were Alliance.
Kul-tyras is connected to Anachronos and Alonsus.
I have 18 more characters in Alonsus, all: level 1 Bank characters 
My situation is the opposite of Retributor.
If Iām not mistaken he plays on Draenor a Horde dominated realm.
So, you have a higher chances of seeing Alliance from this realm, than Horde
Looking back, from lore perspective, itās obvious why Silvermoon (High Elves city, before Arthas tore it down) and Kul-Tyras (Human kingdom) were realms of choice for the Alliance players and not for Horde players.
But choosing good realms to play, was never my RL friend strong side. Back in Vanilla.
He chose Azjol-Nerub a Horde dominated realm to play ā¦ Alliance.
I made the mistake of playing Bgs level 40-49 on his level 49 Human Paladin. While unsubscribed from my account.
I was getting defeats all the time there. The Horde players were always twinked and the Alliance players I was with were on leveling gear all the time
This is my only Alliance character in this account:
I used to have a Human Paladin level 19 and a level 29 NE Hunter, in Kul-Tyras. But they got deleted a decade ago and I have no way to get them back.
Ironically I never deleted my NE Druid because I canāt.
Her GM left her in charge of his Guild when he left the game 
So I kept her as a memory of Vanilla. She never left Darnassus.
Thereās no transmoggs options for this character. Darnassus donāt have that.
At the time I loved the more Human appearance of the Alliance vs the more monstrous races of the Horde, thatās why I made those 3 characters.
But in TBC a race came in to the Horde that made me lose any desire to play Alliance: the Blood Elves.
They had Alliance looks and I could trade with them, on my Horde characters. Unlike my Alliance characters.
Now we can trade between characters of opposite factions, but my hands are full of Horde characters
Edit: typing and sentences.
Cheers.
Which community was that?? Pretty sure ive seen you in either SoD or tbe new one that was advertised recentlyā¦
No Pressureā¦ Been fantastic for raiding for meā¦ SoD I have used for my few Mythic+'s. Got my first ten yesterday via a SoD group and someone giving me a chance. I have stopped even looking at group finder now.
Reading the 10.0.5 patch notes for my class left me fairly optimistic. A number of problems are being addressed, and the result may be enough to overshadow the couple that remain.
(For the curious; still no smart healing on fistweaving so it can go to someone at 90% instead of the guy at 10%, and despite being buffed in M+, Revival remains a weak raid cooldown vs basically all other raid cooldowns. But we will be more reliable at keeping up our damage-to-heal mechanisms, have a cheaper cast heal, and some revamped caster talents. It might just make both melee and caster styles viable in all content, which would be great to see!)
While exploring Uldum, I came upon a place called Oasis of Virāsar. It had human NPCās with Arab names like āFarahā and āSulahā and āYasminā
Farah is even wearing a headscarf/hijab.
And instead of stereotypical camels, they have horses instead. Probably reflecting Arabian horses.
I donāt know but the little representation made me happy and smile.
That is all
