Farming Honor in Patch 6.2.4
With Legion maybe kinda just around the corner, people are starting to look ahead to a PVP life where Honor no longer exists. But I plan on using honor now, and I’m using it to beef up my garrison.
That’s right, my garrison.
Okay, improving the garrison is actually a side effect. What it actually relates to is getting a character to an iLevel of 675. How does that affect your garrison? That’s a future post, but it involves gold. Because of course it does. I don’t work my garrison for funsies, after all.
Honor is a great way of gearing up your character, especially this way. I’m sure I’ve posted this in the past, but SirPwnKnight recently made a video discussing this technique so I thought I’d give it a try. I had a warrior that I wanted to bump up the iLevel on, and I thought it’d be easiest to do it with some PVP gear.
Anyway, here’s the video. Check it out, and I’ll give you my feedback on it.
I went to Ashran to give this a go. Despite a gank or two, I found the farming to be easy enough and the conversion of artifacts to honor was pretty sweet. It worked out to about 100 artifacts = 300+ honor, and it took me less than ten minutes to get those artifacts. Getting decked out in short order, assuming you’re not getting your throat cut while doing so, definitely wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.
So give this a try and let me know how it worked out for you!
Blizzcon 2016
Commence the #Blizzcon2016 hashtags, baby!
Earlier this week, Blizzard decided to throw the blogging community a bone and dropped some interesting news for us to buzz about. That buzz, of course, being the announcement that there would, in fact, be a Blizzcon this year. It makes sense, this being Blizzard’s 25th anniversary as a company and all. Why not have a party to celebrate it?
Since there’s actually a chance that I might be able to go this year (the cash could be there, and I’m not scheduled to work that weekend), I’m naturally getting amped up. However, time and money are not the only gateways to Blizzcon. One must obtain a golden ticket, which thankfully(?) did not increase in price this year. I think this is the first time there hasn’t been an increase in ticket price. I mean, it’s still $199 for a ticket (OUCH) on top of airfare(OW) and hotel(STOP), but it could have been worse.
So the goal now is to make sure I’m home, at my computer, on April 20th at 9pm Central (7pm Pacific) for the first round of ticket sales with my finger on the F5 button. I guess I could set up a macro on my mouse to auto press F5, and save my keyboard from the abuse I fully intend on inflicting upon it.
Will you be trying to get tickets as well? Are you planning on going to Blizzcon 2016?
