I haven’t really played WoW properly for a long time. I always buy the expansion but rarely carry on.
Now that most people I knew who played have stopped I’ve decided I want to play Horde side instead of the alliance I used to be.
So I’m levelling up a bunch of characters to 60 so I can decide what to play later on.
My main question is - is there anything I need to do to prepare for Dragonflight outside of just hitting level 60? Do I need to level professions for example, or can I just do that once the expansion starts for all the new content?
I’m going to try and finish the campaign on my first level 60 so that I can get flying in shadowlands for all my alts. But do I need to do more than that?
Professions are separated for each expansion now. Even if you have no skill in any profession, you can pick up one and level it for dragonflight from the beginning. You would miss all other expansions skills tho but mostly they won’t matter.
If you think you will back for shadowlands zones, you will miss flying. So for now you can focus on unlocking flying in shadowlands and Zereth Mortis. Other than that you can farm for pets or mounts if you are a collector.
Renowned is enough for flying in shadowlands but you need more for flying in Zereth Mortis. Unlocking flying in shadowlands does not grant flying in Zereth Mortis.
What I mean is, that link says I need level 44 renown before I can get the chapter for flying, but I have no idea what renown is right now. Will try and figure it out
Not sure if you can, or if it’s just for alts but you can buy the renown token that boosts you up to renown 60. There’s a vendor next to the flight master so go check that out.
You can get the renown token at level 50 so by the time you reach lvl 60 you can be maxed out on renown.
Just googled and it says there should be a button near my minimap to check renown and I don’t have that so I guess I’m level 0. Not even sure where to start, will Google some more.
It’s not a big deal actually. You will get a token for doing various activities like completing dungeon, killing raid boss, turning in daily or weekly quests or such. They will grant you a level in renown and in each level you will get something.
To earn renown you need to select a covenant first. If it’s your first toon you have to get level 60 and complete campaign quest to select a covenant.
Getting great gear will help you in levelling, but to such a small extent that it’s not worth bothering. I guess that the best geared players from SL (dual 318 legendaries, 300+ ilvl) will be one, maximum 2 hours faster in leveling to 70 than someone starting with just greens.
Hey,
it’s my first time using a forum so I’m sorry if I ask this on the wrong thread: my expansions are up to date until BfA but I didn’t buy Shadowlands. I’d like to pre-purchase Dragonflight, but I’m unsure if it will unlock Shadowlands for me right away or I have to wait with leveling to 60 until Dragonflight is released. Should I buy Shadowlands and THEN pre-purchase Dragonflight or can I save some money and pre-purchase Dragonflight and with that get Shadowlands unlocked right away? Thanks for your help in advance!
Not a bad idea! Although there’s always the game time tokens if needed.
Out of interest, is there a way to get to 44 renown quickly? I’m on 1 as it stands. I just want to be able to unlock flying account wide in Shadowlands to speed up my alt levelling.
If it’s your first time do your covenant story that should get you quite a few. Then you can kill world bosses should be 3 per week. I think the 2 new zones korthia and zereth mortis I believe give you renown. Mythic dungeons and raid bosses. That’s off the top of my head I’ve not played in quite a while.
Just hit level 45 renown so it didn’t take that long thankfully.
Think I can skip the rest of that campaign now and go onto chaains of domination, believe I have to complete The Last Sigil part of that quest line to get flying.
