[Warcraft] Running after the Legion Remix Dopamine

I have never been a min/max player, instead I tend to wander around doing whatever it is I feel like doing that day. It’s not conductive to productivity – but Legion Remix has changed that, at least temporarily. In Legion Remix, it’s all about focusing on one character so that you can gain the most infinite power, and thus do bigger and bigger things (such as soloing mythic+).

Right now I’ve been attempting to focus on my demon hunter – but it’s not exactly FUN. It IS a rush. You rush through doing all of the heroic + mythic raids for the day, rush through doing a normal and heroic dungeon, maybe even rush through a mythic or two. Then you rush through your world quests, your world boss, and complete your research for the day too, and if there’s time left over you pop over to retail to do the headless horseman instance in the hopes of getting the new mount that was added (no luck as of the time of this post).

Then you log out, satisfied, because all of those little rushes keep you going while you’re playing – even if you haven’t actually DONE much. Plus, it’s temporary. In January when Remix is over we’ll all go back to the regular grind that doesn’t involve us being overpowered and awesome.

I’m enjoying myself, but I am also trying to be realistic. I KNOW it’s because of the rush. I know it’s just dopamine hit after dopamine hit. What I REALLY want, is player housing. I want things to be slower. I want a story. Right now, there is none of that going on. That’s OK. For now. I hope that it changes once remix is over.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 42 (2025)

Sales have started picking back up again after the Legion Remix rush, which is nice. Not as much as it was prior to Remix, but that’s OK. I imagine things will ebb and flow as the community wanders to and from depending on what they’re doing. The Halloween event has also started in game, so people are wandering back to regular retail for that. Since I am also playing on legion remix these days I’ve streamlined my sales slightly, so instead of selling on 20 servers (taking 1.5h to post each morning) I’m temporarily selling on only 10 servers, my 10 ‘best selling’ servers as it were (according to my ledger in tradeskillmaster). Sales on some of my servers have been incredibly low, and if I put those items up on my more populated servers instead I’m sure I can get them to move faster. This should cut down the time I’m spending in the morning posting auctions which is the main goal.

Ideally I’d just post across 2 accounts again since you can post auctions to two accounts at once using hotkeys, but I’ve been really happy with all of my auction house characters on a single account, it’s easier to take breaks and not burn out. Hopefully sales continue to rise, and in the mean time there’s certainly no lack of things to do in game!

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

Legion Remix – Now?

My last post about Legion Remix showed me at 55% completed – and things have changed, just a bit. I’m now at 78% completion, and I have 6 level 80 characters who made their way through the content. I’ve leveled a Deathknight, Demon Hunter, Shaman, Warlock, Paladin, and Druid. Next up I plan on leveling a priest, and a monk. I found that leveling characters who have heal specs is a guaranteed way to get instant queues, although at end game absolutely no one is taking healers along for the M+ runs. When I first started I had the idea that I would only level up 4 characters because I didn’t really need a bunch extra, and here we are.

I’ve got 1 more transmog, and 1 more mount to obtain, then the “stuff” for phase 1 is done – which is good, because phase 2 releases in 3 days. I’m not sure if I’m going to stockpile any bronze for that, but ideally I would. We’ll see. I am trying not to make too many goals ahead of time because as we all know, everything can change on a whim.

The Halloween event has also started in game, and there’s a lot to it. I have not even looked at that yet, it’s on my ‘to do’ list, though.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!

Legion Remix – Phase 1 (55%)

Completionism tells me that as of right now, I’m 55% completed with phase one of Legion Remix. I’ve got 3 level 80 characters, and I’m working on a 4th so that I have one of each armor type. Along the way I’m focusing on completing what I can, which excludes doing M+ dungeons for the time being. Phase two starts October 20th, which is just next week (where the hell has October gone?!) and I am not confident that I’ll get much further than 70-80% before that date.

I’m also pretty sure I won’t be creating one of each class, though I will be picking up the mounts. I have no interest in leveling up 12 characters – I’ve already got three, and once I finish with the warlock, that will be 4 (one of each armor type) which is required for an appearance item achievement.

It’s really easy to get caught up in the FOMO of Remix – but if you don’t collect toys, pets, mounts, and transmog – then this event is probably not for you and that is absolutely alright. It’s really easy to feel pressured when everyone else is doing the thing. I happen to love collecting in World of Warcraft, but if there were pvp achievements you’d see me obtain 0 of them (I say this, but we all know what happened when Plunderstorm came out, which was purely PVP).

I’m having fun pecking away at the achievements. I’ve got some transmog left to get and most of the class mounts but I’m pretty confident that I’ll get that. I might not get one of every class, or every achievement available – and that’s alright.

As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

Back to my Comfortable Wormlife Freeport

Despite not blogging about it for some time, I am still playing EVE Online, though my in-game time has been reduced while I wander through Legion Remix and everything that comes with that. I was recently kicked out of my corporation due to my lack of in-game time, so I added all of my characters back to my own corporation instead. It’s not the first time this has happened, and I understand the reasons for these types of rules – but it also sucks, because life happens, things happen, and I’ve never really been one to just play one game steadily. Anyway, it is what it is. That’s usually why I end up creating my own guilds / corporations where I don’t have to be concerned that I’m going to get kicked out for some inactivity.

With that taken care of, I decided to put my main character back into the Wormlife Freeport I frequent, but the HS exit I scanned down was 44 jumps from my ‘home base’ so the goal is to keep scanning each day until I find one a little bit closer. I don’t mind taking a long trip to get there, but things have been busy IRL lately, and I’d prefer to make 10-20 jumps and not 40 plus.

In the meantime, I got started with PI again on the alts. I know the values have been decreasing lately, but that’s alright, we’ll see how it goes.

As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!
