Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new to WoW and I find the game really interesting, but some things are honestly quite frustrating. For example in the Oasis — take 15 pictures of bees, throw a ball and chase it, run through a track… it feels more like Instagram than WoW
I only have about 1 hour to play in the evenings after work, and instead of spending that time in arenas, raids, or something meaningful, I end up doing these small filler quests just to fill up the progress bar and get the weekly chest with resources. The rewards don’t really feel worth the time spent.
So my question is: how do you guys handle these tasks?
• Do you complete all of them or just the minimum for the weekly chest?
• Are there any tricks to finish them faster (which quests give the most % for the least time)?
• Is it even worth doing them if your playtime is limited?
I’d really appreciate if anyone could share their approach — maybe I’m missing something helpful.
I cherry pick the quests that give rep and do an invasion to get the box full and then disappear into the night. Once I have full rep I won’t be going back, I don’t need any more delve keys.
I pick the quests for rep and to finish my achievement.
But let me ask you something.
Why do you do them if they are worthless for you?
You can play arena and battlegrounds without touching any pve part out of cloak farm to rank 6.
I am not even at the point in the campaign that i have those (weekly?) quests. I stopped when i had to throw darts at bees to ‘catch’ them, while just in the quest before that i let them out of my jar.
I mainly do them for the materials and the keys. Otherwise, if there was another way, I definitely wouldn’t be out there chasing foxes I’m still kind of new, so maybe there is another option and I just don’t know about it yet. And yeah… I even realized I accidentally posted this thread from my other character by mistake
Yeah, I’m coming to the same conclusion too, but I wanted to ask here and see what the more experienced players are doing. It helps to compare different perspectives before I decide what’s worth my time.
As soon as I realised it was the same quest copied and pasted over and over, I just stopped doing them, and then started “liking” any thread I saw on the forums complaining about them.
Thats how I deal with them.
I imagine the intern that made that questline has gone back to the mail room, or toilet cleaning duties.
I’ve now unlocked all of them, including the race and can chose my 5 of a large variety. Quite enjoy them - easy to do even on naked alts to farm veteran gear and keys for delves later on. My mains will ignore them as soon as they have their full sets of veteran gear to catalyze for mogs once midnight drops.
Raiders, M+ runners and PvPers can just ignore them, there is no profit doing them in those cases.
Is there a way to get those weekly quests on alts? My alts are all in a different point in the campaign, and i am not looking forward to do everything again on any different char.
It’s nice to see that many people are ignoring them. I gave it a chance after the bee questline, but the next one was just as bad so I stopped doing them. I really hope it won’t count towards the meta achievement.
No, I only did the main questline, and I only do the dailies which give rep, when I absolutely must. (When I don’t get the random rep bonus from bountiful delves that week.)
Sometimes I was so bored with the quest chain that I logged out to do something else. I’d say just do as many as it fits into your gaming session / you are in the mood to do. This content will remain with us till Midnight launches and beyond, so you will get where you want to get to, eventually.
I found the questline quite nice, until I saw it’s a repeatable scenario for all animal types (not 100% sure, haven’t finished it yet). Play ball with foxes, nice. Then…play ball with necrorays…??? What comes next, play ball with snakes? Play ball with…whatever comes next? Photograph this, then photograph that…
Kinda lacks imagination.
I paused doing the oasis quests for now, will finish when I have more time. Not my priority.
As a player of over 20 years, I would say… you be you and do what you want to do, if you don’t enjoy what you are doing quest wise then do something you enjoy, especially when your time is limited. If you want to work towards specific rewards you could go to Wowhead and see what is available to you. Take care and most important of all have fun
