The anniversary event

From september to early this year we had the 20th anniversary event in wow. It was pretty fun at first, huge turnup as well, very crowded at the anniversary site in Tanaris. But it got a tad boring towards the end, which is understandable. You can find an overview here

I did like the mount show off, although it make me realise I don’t have as much mounts as some people :)..The chromie instance was fun, short multiplayer event with decent rewards. And there were a few simple quests that could give you quite a bit of XP, like the trivia daily quest.

With the tokens you could buy a mount and T2 ‘remastered’ gear for transmog, which I got! But haven’t really used it yet on any of my characters. Writing this reminds me that I should do that soon!

Here are some screenshots from the event! And now back to the regular gameplay. I have 3 level 80 characters by now, still do some delves and weekly events, and leveling up the mage and death knight as a very leisurely pace.

WoW remix: Mists of Pandaria

Posted on by

This event started last week and its been a lot of fun! You can notice Blizzard put a lot of effort into it. It’s basically the Pandaria expansion but you’re leveling much faster than normal. Also you can customize your character using gems you get from quest rewards. And once the event is over in august, you can transfer the characters over to the regular retail server!

The quest rewards are boxes you open, and always contain stuff you can actually use, like the gems I mentioned, gear, stat buffs etc.

I rolled a Shaman and he’s level 25 at the moment. Maybe I can roll another char as well before august, I was thinking a monk or another hunter.Its been a while since I did the Pandaria quests, most of them are of the simple kill x of y variety, but its been quite fun with the shaman. Also I love the asian type environment.

The event began on May 16th, 2024, and its end date is August 19th, 2024. To create a Timerunning character, select the Mists of Pandaria: Remix button on the character selection screen1. Enjoy your nostalgic journey through Pandaria! 🐼

Back to BFA

As you can imagine, not long after the post before this one, I faded away from WoW. Didn’t really like BFA and the leveling process felt very ‘been here, done that’. Think I basically burned out on WoW after legion. But BFA so far is still very lucklustre in my eyes. I am not sure the next expansion will be much better, seems like a gloomy environment. But we’ll see, at least the environment will be different.

The loa brought me back

Anyway, after all the hoopla and hype surrounding Wow classic, I succumbed as well to it, seeing people having a lot of fun (on twitch mainly). I reactivated my account and rolled a hunter. Well, everything I suspected was actually true. It’s very cumbersome, slow process to level a character in classic. Just as it was 15 years ago. But then it was new and a lot of fun. I can’t really go back and do that now. Since I was subbed anyway, I slowly started leveling Morpheus again and at 120 started doing dailies again. Think this was around september. The worldquests are decent, and somehow still provide some entertainment.

And with the anniversary events, I leveled almost every class to 120. Unfortunately, it’s very tough to start doing world quests and get better gear when your gear is below 200 and 2 expansions old :). So you have to craft some pieces and maybe buy some off AH. So far I have mainly done that for a shaman I enjoy playing, haven’t played that class much in the past.

I think I am now ready to do raiding in LFR again. One of these days I’ll hit that join button for one of them ;).

Enjoy some screenshots, I’ll be posting more here regularly again now !

Battle For Azeroth

And so it has begun ! Another expansion is out ! And to be honest, I am not really feeling it. Just hit lvl 113 about 2 weeks in now. I have been questing a little bit and it feels like more of the same. Which is of course always going to be the case in an MMO, but Legion felt somewhat fresh and exciting. This seems like Legion 2.0 with a few tweaks. And classes that have even less abilities than before.

But it’s not too bad, the questing (in small doses) is still fun. The environment looks wonderful, so there is that. Not exactly looking forward to end game with doing tons of world quests. I already did that for Legion and I am not going to do that again. I think I rather level up some alts or just play something else entirely, before falling into that (grinding) trap again.

Patch 6.02

Well everything is patched, toolbars have big holes in them, and character models are updated ;). I did run the introductory quests towards warlords and got my new pet. It looks quite cool ! The quest was nothing special. Thrall plays an important part once again, and Vol’jin is now standing in Oggrimar where once Garrosh stood.

The new character models will take some getting used to. The walking  animation is not as great as they once were. My undead mage zennadar lost his funny undead step :(. Also the damage output is a little weird now with the squished numbers. But stuff still dies reasonably fast even though I wasn’t quite familiar with my new / revamped spells yet.

And then the server crashed, but I needed to encode a video anyway, so not too bad.

Pet Battles ctd

The pet battles have been a lot of fun lately. It turns out to be an excellent way to cure the dullness of the intermission between 5.4 and 6.0 (warlords). I now have a group of 25s and am leveling / catching more. Also keep on making the Pet Battles let’s play series on Youtube. Episode 13 is quite fun as I am totally surprised to find a rare quality Scourged Whelpling. It’s an undead pet, which isn’t too common to find, especially not ‘as a blue’ !

The state of my game

Ever since that last post I have played quite a bit, but since I reached some goals, I have slowed down a bit. Still have plenty of goals, but not in a hurry in any way, and there are still plenty of other games to play ! It’ll probably be at least 4 months before Warlords hits.

RainHoof Boost

As you can see I boosted Rainhoof from 60 to 90. I preordered the upcoming expansion for both accounts. Turawk the shaman got boosted as well. He is now a jewelcrafter and a blacksmith. Haven’t used the blacksmith profession much, but he is handy to make the living belt buckle. The jewelcrafter is nice to make gems of course. Both characters have been playing on the timeless isle, and the monk seemed to be a bit stronger. He now has the two Hozen can openers for weapons you can buy with the timeless coins.

RAF coming to a close

As I mentioned earlier I have been multiboxing in order to level a few duos with the RAF triple XP boost. I got Ferdix and Morphixea to level 85 first. The priest warrior combo worked really well. I am totally planning on getting them to 90, maybe not dual boxing all the way, but definitely dualboxing on the Timeless Isle once at 90, that would be interesting.

The second duo I have levelled to 60. We reached 60 about 10 days ago, and I wasn’t exactly looking forward to doing Outlands yet again. Around that time the news about the 5.4.7 PTR patch came in. Apparently if you boost a lvl 60 or higher to 90 you get 600 on your two main professions ! So I left Rainhoof and Turawk on 60, hoping to boost them either through the WOTD preorder or the ingame shop. The Monk / Shaman duo worked pretty nice as well, though the monk tank didn’t have the dps (yet) that Morphixea (warrior) had. No shield slam I guess.

Looking over Silithus

Silithius 2

Done with the Un’Goro Crater, our Taunty Taurens are making their way to Silithus.

The past weekend I levelled Zendrella finally to 90. She was pretty much my main character in Cataclysm, doing the fireland dailies etc., was a bit forgotten, but now she’s back with a vengeance ;). Furthermore I am levelling inscription with Ferdix, spending an hour picking flowers here and there.
