Join us on Discord Watch the show live on Twitch Support the show on Patreon Mount Up Add-on Ren More guides, more news, more updates, more leveling and testing in beta Very little time to work on leveling toons in BfA Complaints inside beta - how much changes Thank the Blizzard gods for Torghast server! Mike Warlock leveling - finally got her to 120 Thanks to Caselock for getting me my Glacial Tidestorm mount This Week in WoW World Quest event starts next week Trial of Style begins Monday, August 31 News A plea for fishing help in beta Blizzard Companion App will support Legion, BoA and Shadowlands when it’s released for the expansion Ray tracing in Shadowlands Diminishing returns in secondary stat ratings After receiving 25% of a secondary stat from gear, increasingly more rating to increase another % from that gear Example: 25% -35%: 10% penalty, up to 49-106%, 40% penalty. Capped at 106%. Speed leveling in Shadowlands in under 3 hours using dungeon boosting - probably not going to stay Yes, Blizzard is giving away beta access keys, but not in the Americas yet. Observations on leveling 50-60 in beta The downside to unpruning Best to worst zones Spoiler: Maw is the worst Best story line: Revendreth Best atmosphere and best sense of humor: Ardenweald Maldraxxus: decent story, very straightforward Bastion: more engaging than I thought the first time around, but still not interesting by comparison Rogue: Assessing the Covenant abilities Tips for things to have from BfA and prior (Goblin Gliders, Abyssal Healing Potions, high quality stat food) Early impressions of gathering and professions

This Week in WoW Cataclysm Timewalking Free T-Shirt Day today (Sunday) Stormwind: Dwarven District Orgrimmar: Valley of Honor Next Tuesday starts Arena Skirmishes News Naked & Afraid Winners! Ketchupman - Lightforged Discipline Priest, 1 day 5 hours 4 minutes (also fourth with a Troll Enhancement Shaman at 1 day 10 hours 9 minutes) - Horgus mount Guerrie - Void Elf Afflication Warlock with 1 day 7 hours 1 minute - Twilight pet Drexl - Troll Guardian Druid with 1 day 8 hours 14 minutes - Transmorpher Beacon toy Most Persistent: Zignea, with a Lightforged Shadow Priest at 2 days 21 hours 45 minutes. Also thanks to finishers Thecowking, Koloka, Louielegdrop, Kara, Loosechange, and Hank. Koloka also ran more than one character. Pre-patch on the PTR - what’s coming Character creation and customization New Player experience - Exile’s Reach and new leveling paths The level and iLevel squishes Limited time Scourge event No time frame announced, but will be “several weeks” before expansion Scourge event - updated gear from original WoTLK loot tables. Minimum level requirement for those items is 30 (or 80 for those who still speak BFA). Drop off bosses who spawn outside in Icecrown during the scourge event who used to be in dungeons and raids, like Patchwerk. Also zombie attacks in major cities. Prepping for Shadowlands Pre-Patch Level squish is coming to Shadowlands Flying issue in Shadowlands: flying starts at level 30, which is level 80 in current reckoning If you have any characters currently below 60, get them to 60 and teach them flying ASAP. Any characters who know flying going in will not have that skill taken away, even if they are below level 30 under the new system. (Time to make and park that Death Knight you've been wanting, or start at level 8 when the prepatch hits) Gearing for Shadowlands No real gear reset Gear rewards are not super common, neither are drops Maggie is 57 and has still not replaced 5 items - ilevel of blues is about 120, cloak is still 131 at level 4 (unimproved legendary cloak starts at 125). HoA was i489 and is now 132. No powers but still a good amulet. iLevel translations Starting characters in Beta with basic starter gear start out at iLevel 75. Some experimentation with character copy indicates this is about the same as iLevel 400-405. My 443 character started out with iLevel 98. Having gone through the Maw with a starter (75) and a better one (98), the latter is far more survivable Therefore, you should consider iLevel 400 as "starter level". Easiest way to get higher iLevels is to advance your HoA and at least get a cloak, which will be 125 out of the gate with no ranks (remember, blues around level 55-56 are 115-120).
