I’m lvl 60 now and the world is my oyster - I’ve started a social guild with some RL friends and it’s going great. However for me to remain active whilst waiting for dungeon groups and raid evenings - I’m wondering what I can be doing to be proactive. My professions are maxed out.
Should I be questing in a certain area? Doing certain chains?
Are there reputations i should be focusing on?
My side project is the orc wolf. But more importantly I want to quest or be earning Pre raid BiS or valuable reps or must do quests.
Your help will be greatly received, I love this community for it’s willingness to help - the model of our guild.
Get attuned to MC, BWL and Ony. Do runs to ZG/AQ20/MC/BWL to start gearing up if your guild isn’t big enough to form a raid team you can join PuG runs on your realm and raid that way usually you can find runs advertised in world or LFG with a discord link. If you run MC you can get yourself the hunter class bow from Major Domo if the leaf drops and you manage to win the roll. In fact the Hunter T1 is still quite decent for Hunter due to the set bonus and the belt and bracers are BoE so you can buy them off the AH if any are listed.
Play some PvP - ranking is rather easy now and you will be able to gain the blue ranking set if you put a few hours a week in to playing battlegrounds. You can get a nice ring and cheaper costing epic Wolf mount that doesn’t require Orgrimmar exalted to ride by getting exalted with AV so you can hit 2 birds with one stone.
What I have done with my hunters as soon as I dinged 60 was getting my pet to level 60 first thing then do some DM tribute runs to get myself 2x tarnished elven rings+ ogre forged hauberk, also one counterattack lodestone+hunter class book trinket. Good items for a fresh 60.
You need to learn how to solo DM tribute for this, it is also quite a lot of fun and a unique thing to do as a hunter, highly suggested.
Then ofc as others suggested above, get your attunements asap and go ZG+onyxia+AQ20 to get some good start-up gear.
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply; it’s exactly what I needed. And will be super helpful. Next step is grinding out tributes and DM. Alongside AV queues. My brother is PVP biast and is v excited to learn I’m hitting up AV - mojojo and majesty, thanks so much.
One more thing. When you complete this quest chain: https://classic.wowhead.com/quest=4974/for-the-horde
Get the trinket “Blackhand’s Breadth”. When you pair it with “Royal Seal of Eldre’thalas”(DM north hunter class book quest) you will have a pretty good trinket duo that will last you a very long time until you get to later raid tiers.
