What to do?

Hello,
I amnew at this game and I am struggling…
I completed the dragonflight and WWI campaign… So what now?

I am getting my ilvl up… atm I am ilvl 608. It goes very slow … But what is the rotation weekly? what content it there? As I see it,you do the following:

  • Do the events that give you valorstones
  • Do the weekly blue markers
  • Run M+dungeons
  • Next to that I am leveling my second character and doing it on other campaigns to get the lore

I feel there is not much else to do… I dont like PVP… And the higher raids I dont get invited in… You can grind for skins, but the game looks old, and I prefer running that in Guild wars 2.

So what else is there to do on a weekly basis? What fun content did I miss?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Running 8 delves on tier 8 or higher (which should be doable with your gear) will reward Hero level gear in the vault, this allows you to reach 619 ilvl in the end.

The only way to upgrade after that is Mythic dungeons or Mythic raids.

As for things to do, it depends, what do you like doing?
There’s old content you could explore, there’s collecting mounts and toys…
Most grouped content, I highly advice you to seek out a guild.

Thanks for the answer… Yes I do the delves… But I need also keys…However I run 8 level 8 dungeons also weekly… I just feel its content light…

I do my vault to get item levels as high as possible.

But as you said, eventually it all comes down to M+ or raids…

I really wanna like this game lol… dont get the appeal :stuck_out_tongue:

apart from that you can do crafting .if you dont like pvp ,raids or mythic plus in this game then sadly there is one conclusion .this game is not for u. this is complete opposite of guild wars 2 in terms of progression.

Personally if i am low geared i just pay for M+ boosts and “Last 2” boosts.

It’s cheap and it adds to vault.

(+) make sure to buy the Mythic BoE’s

All help to inflate the score.

I don’t really enjoy being weak and slowly make my way up, so any shortcut is GG imo.

There are various ways people play the game and at different levels. Some just like to level alts and don’t like the harder content as much.

Basically once you reach end game you gear up, something that you’ll do every season as the ilvl cap increases. The current season should last until roughly March next year.

The end game activities are essentially PvP, M+, Raid, and/or Delves. You don’t have to limit yourself to a particular one. Just the ones that you find fun to take part in. For example I don’t have a great love for PvP and rarely venture into it unless I need something from it for PvE. For PvE we can do activities to fill the vault, the more slots filled, the more choices you’ll get on reset.

In addition to those people also like the collectibles side of the game, transmog, toys, mounts, pets etc. There is also RP if you are that kind of creative player. They run their own events in addition to those available in the game.

there isn’t that many things to do in wow after you complete the campaign tho. you can keep repeating pretty much any content for various reasons like increasin your peformance etc. or getting a gear from a dungeon. but if you dont really care that much it’s better to take a break.
catch-up patch is coming

How do you expect a new player to even afford this?
Outside that this is horrible advice to give.

Some of these replies are pretty terrible. “Buy boosts” “There isnt much to do after the campaign” All nonsense.

There are so many different ways people enjoy this game, and the best thing to do, as a new player is to engage and familiarize yourself with what the game has to offer, and see what speaks to you.
I will list some of the most popular activities:

  • M+ Dungeons, Raids, Delves. The 3 PvE endgame pillars, for gear progression.
  • Unrated PvP (Battlegrounds and Arena)
  • Rated PvP (Most commonly Arena)
  • Professions. Gathering and crafting. Playing the auction house game.
  • World content (World quests, world events, world bosses, ect.)
  • Collecting cosmetics. The game has 20 years worth of content to go through to find and collect, anything from transmogs and mounts to pets and toys. Target stuff you want, try to collect it all, or just go see what drops, the choise is yours.
  • Achievments. There are thousands of achievments to earn in the game.
  • Pet Battles. If you like Pokemon, you might like Pet Battles.
  • Alts. Some people just enjoy the leveling progress, and level alts instead of engaging with the endgame. There are 10 expansions to choose from, to level through, so plenty to see and discover.
  • Roleplaying. More of a niche thing, but there is a community for serious roleplaying, mainly on roleplaying servers.

All these things and lots of minor things inbetween, there is something for almost everyone. Some like the weekly grind, some dont bother with it, some like pushing and progressing, some like to explore and relax. Everyone has their own idea of fun. The only correct way to play this game is to explore it all, and see if something sticks.
Most importantly, take other players oppinions on every aspect of the game with a grain of salt. Some people have played this game day and night for years, even decades, and have lost sight of what it is like to discover this game for the first time.

You can sure do that, but don’t be too disappointed - before BFA there was no leveling campaign, so the lore of the expansions in told pretty badly in my opinion (Zone stories are ok, but the overaching expansion lore… ouff). Also, to get the full lore, you’d have to read the various Warcraft Books, as often times things aren’t explained at all in the game but only there (Start of WoD for exaple, with War Crimes by Christie Golden).

  1. Run M+. Intermediate goal is all +10 dungeons, end goal is top 0.1%.
  2. Run raids. Intermediate goal is heroic raid (curve), end goal is mythic raid (aotc).
  3. Run rated PvP. Arenas, battlegrounds.

Those are all skilled content available in the game. You would need to find a group of friends to achieve end goal. It is possible that you wouldn’t be able to achieve some of the goals, becoming arena gladiator is very hard even for dedicated players. This content is seasonal, every season lasts around 6 months and things kind of reset.

As to unskilled contents:

  1. Collecting pets, mounts, transmogs. That involves mostly running old content.
  2. Collecting achievements.
  3. Level up professions, make a lot of gold.
  4. Level up army of alts for whatever reason.
  5. Keep up with content. Subscribe when new patch comes out (probably few weeks later), consume new original content (quests, easy mode dungeons and raids), unsubscribe until next batch of content.

I think that most people naturally fall into one or few of the described categories, so you have your options. Of course it is entirely possible that you won’t like either category and that’s fine, modern WoW is somewhat specific game and not everyone likes it.

If you want to do higher raiding you gotta join a guild, and if you skip out on that you are missing a huge part of what world of warcraft is actually about.
Raiding with a solid 20 people and getting to know them is the biggest and most fun thing you can do. (unless they are a bunch of toxic dumbnuts)

I would recommend doing old expansions content, such as Torghast, vision of n’zoth, island expedition, scenarios such as “Death of chromie” but most of these arent scaled to your lvl so you would just run through them easily.>
And to my knowlegde there is no “real” way of scaling them down and experiencing them as they were during the expansion (not the grind part, but the fun parts).

“buy boost lmao rofl” Snort snort.
Yeah, that’s getting old, I agree.

There’s a lot to do. One of the things I do, (since I started in BFA) is go back to Old content and complete those quests to see the quests and story in the older expansions of WoW. Before TWW, my friend was giving me a tour though Vanilla/Cata WoW to complete old stories. Its fun.

Another thing a player can do now is the Anniversary event. There’s quite a few things you can do, gather and collect. I’m trying to buy every cosmetic, pet, mount, toy that you can get.
And because Timewalking is a good way to earn Experience Points, it could be a good opportunity to create and level up some Alts, especially if you get the Anniversary, Dragon Blessing and Warband Exp boosts. I get my 70 characters to 80 in 4 hours, sometimes less, depends on the queue time.

Another thing too, and something a lot of people tend to not do. Pace yourself. WoW isn’t going anywhere. Yes, its a subscription, but you shouldn’t force yourself to play every moment of it to put your game time to its full potential.
You’ll just exhaust yourself and get burned out from WoW. Play other games along with WoW, or do other things off the computer. Make yourself excited to can’t wait till its time you can play WoW.
For me, its always 2-3pm because that’s when I meet up with a friend and we play together. Or 10pm to when I feel tired.
Take it in moderation. :slight_smile:
You don’t have to, but its just food for thought.

WoW token is there for a reason

Yeah because “Spend weeks getting up there slowly” is much better advice than just buying right?

Yes, playing the game IS better advice than paying someone else to play it for you, he might as well not bother playing at all if boosting is his go to for progressing

You do you i guess. I just prefer to do it this way to get up the score and gear to then be able to get into +10’s myself.

Bought maybe like 4 +10’s total.

Currently timed like 20 +10’s without boosters, Which is not a lot, but it’s nice to be at the score and ilvl where one can be invited.

Yes! Otherwise, why bother even playing the game if you’re just going to pay to have everything already done? Booorriinnng.
