Farming Raids for Gold in Legion
I’m so glad Bellular is in the Legion alpha.
I’ve thrown out questions on Twitter, hoping someone in the alpha would give me some kind of feedback about various topics I’ve queried. Most of which involved gold, and the making of said gold. With the garrison’s passive gold-making disappearing in Legion, casual folks looking to make gold were going to have to find another way to do it without wasting hours and hours doing so. I’m not talking fortunes here, because I still believe you should have to put in some work to get some reward. But a reasonable amount of gold per hour shouldn’t be out of the question.
Generally speaking, my Twitter questions go unanswered. But given enough time, Bellular somehow ends up creating a video that addresses something I’ve asked. In this case, the video in question involves soloing MoP content in Legion. Will it still be a decent gold-maker in the next expansion?
Check out the video and find out!
Leveling in Legion
Well crap.
I have what you might call a love/hate relationship with leveling characters in World of Warcraft.
“But aren’t you the same guy who has leveled fifteen characters to 100 already?”
Sixteen, actually. And I’m not sure if there will be a seventeenth. Still, that’s a whole lot of levels. Say what you want about Warlords of Draenor, but they definitely made the leveling process fairly painless. In fact, given the right mix of XP potions and heirloom, you can bang out the last ten levels in under two hours.
But it hasn’t always been that simple. Leveling in Mists of Pandaria, for me, was about as much fun as plucking sphincter hairs. In fact, I’d rather pluck butt-fur than level through MoP. I only managed a small handful of characters through the content when it was current, and the only reason I managed that many was due to Zygor Leveling Guides (cheap plug Zygor, you’re welcome). Just the thought of leveling through MoP gave me a literal headache. Mists, as much as I enjoyed the expansion as a whole, aggravated me so much that I unsubbed for a year.
Legion boasts a somewhat modified leveling process. Zones will scale with the character, making every zone viable for leveling. But Blizzard has taken good concepts in the past and turned them into lumpy poo. So how is Legion leveling looking in lalpha alpha? Bellular gave it a try and here’s what he had to say.
