Battle for Azeroth Survival Guide
This is it. The World (of Warcraft) is about to change.
Yet Again.
Sigh.
Tomorrow, July 17th, there will be an all-day maintenance. This is the launch of Patch 8.0, the pre-patch for Battle for Azeroth. Blizzard was kind enough to release a video to brace us for the changes that will be coming. I’m bummed about some of the easy gold nerfs that will most likely be taking effect, but there’s plenty of things to look forward to.
Things like ORCS STANDING UPRIGHT OMG ASJAFSNDGFAO;GASDN
Check out the video below and get a taste for what Tuesday has in store for you. What are you looking forward to? What are you going to miss?
Preparing for BfA
Woah, it’s been a minute since I posted anything on this here blog. This is becoming a habit. Can not doing a thing be a habit? Would that be some kind of unhabit?
I’ve been doing my WoW chores (aka Order Hall missions on my phone) on an almost-daily basis. I log in to replenish my resources, gather gold, and buy tokens. Bufaah (or BfA I suppose) is just around the corner so it’s time to double down and milk that gold-making cow as long as those Order Hall udders are producing.
But with Battle for Azeroth only a couple of months away, those teets are going to be tapped very Soon(™). Then what? How does one make that sweet and easy gold once the Order Hall gold gets nerfed (TO THE GROUND BAYBAY)? I’m sure there’s going to be another Garrison/Order Hall to abuse at some point. But until then, can we abuse the toys we have?
Sure can. I stumbled upon this Lon Measley video, which gave me enough ideas to keep the gold flowing. Okay, maybe a trickle but it’s something.
No Business Like Monk Business
It’s almost 5 am, I’ve just finished my second Monster energy drink (with some water and coffee in between just to mix things up), and I’ve got a bit of a lull here at work. What a perfect time to write about WoW!
Actually, I can’t. I can’t because I, like many of you, haven’t been playing World of Warcraft.
Okay, that’s not entirely true. I have kinda sorta been playing some lowbie monks. I made a Monk Taurenmoose and a Monk Drow. Oh, and a Monk Void Elf once I finally got the appropriate rep to the appropriate Exalted.
Butforwhy?
Well, for simple. Two for simples actually. One, I enjoy playing a class that has the ability to beat things to death with their bare hands. Very enlightening. But more importantly, each day I can do the Monk Daily Quest and earn a fat 50% xp bonus for one hour. I’ve been logging in on each Monk, doing the quest, and logging off. The Horde Monks are currently capped at 24 hours worth of sweet xp buffed goodness. The Alliance Monk is getting up there as well. Once I get some free time to sit down and really play, I will make the most of that time with XP on steroids until the Rested xp buff fades.
Monks are great when you don’t have a lot of time to play, but you want all sorts of xp bonuses running when you do. Maximum Effort!
I’m also doing a majority of my gaming like many humanoids do – on their phones. I’m still abusing the Hell out of the Legion app. Since Blizzard is discontinuing their mobile AH app, I deleted that one and plan to keep my focus on the Legion app gold train for as long as I can. Better make hay while the sun shines, or while this mindless app lets me earn World of Warcraft gold without even having to log into the game.
I wish I had more to talk about, WoW-wise. I can’t even hype the Blizzcon hype because I’m not going this year. Stupid income tax amendment taking all my spending monies.
Something to chew on. I have the free 110 boost through my pre-purchase of Battle for Azeroth, and I’m trying to decide who to give it to. Should I boost one of my remaining 100-ish Death Knights that I haven’t leveled yet? Should I boost one of the new Allied Races to 110?
Unique Lightsabers
I know, I know. Have I gone mad with midichlorians? What’s with all the lightsaber stuff? I guess I’ve always been a fan. That’s why my WoW toons all have them. Not gonna lie, I wouldn’t hate it if Blizzard managed to creatively steal use for inspiration some of these designs.
It’s Hero Time
HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID WITH THE SWORD?!
Uh… spoilers I guess?
Regardless, between watching a planet getting skewered and watching Justice League earlier in the week, I was motivated to gear up a savior. Someone to save Azeroth, and all the poor helpless fleshbags that dwell within it. Not to mention, it’ll give me something interesting to do after my poor Ironman character got himself killed taking on about a dozen mobs that obviously should not have been messed with.
Time for a Superman Transmog!
