Midnight PDT is when we’ll see the launch of Legion here in my neck of the woods, and I’ve been debating whether or not I’ll stay up to play. Chances are, I’ll fall asleep – and if I happen to wake up I’ll nose around for a bit, but otherwise I’m going to enjoy a full night of sleep, and I’ll play sometime tomorrow. What plans have everyone else made? Let me know in comments, and happy gaming!
Compared to some of my friends, I don’t really have that many level 100 characters. I’ve got a total of 10, 5 across Area 52 (all horde) and 5 across Argent Dawn (all alliance). I have two duplicate classes, a paladin and a priest. Priest being my favourite out of the bunch. It wasn’t my intention to level up all my characters when invasions first came out, but that’s what ended up happening. A lot of my characters had already reached 91, and I was just not keen on grinding through WoD content again for the 6th time. A handful were lower level or even new characters (like my horde priest, that character is brand new). I did a LOT of invasions, and I have no inclination to level up any more through that method. It was a lot of boring grinding, a lot of traveling, and just not very “fun” – what it was, was fast. Because honestly leveling up through questing for the hundredth time is also a whole lot of not fun.
Now I’m working on my professions a bit, trying to max them out. Most of my 100s already have max professions, but the priest does not. Only one of my characters had max cooking / fishing / archaeology, and I’m not sure if I want to max it out on other characters as well. I’ll probably just do it on my alliance main / horde main, and then we’ll see.
I’m really excited about the expansion going live. I love the hype, and I love seeing so many of my friends getting involved in all of the little changes that are happening. Even if it doesn’t last, it’s been a pretty good experience so far.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
I almost forgot to post this today, the 24th – but I made it on time (It’s 11:41pm), so technically I’ve still blogged all the days of August. Yay!
That schedule I made for my priest, well. Completely out the window. I reached level 100 today without too many problems. Opened over 80 chests and lamented (again) over the fact that there are no 2h staffs, nor are there any off hands or shields. 699 is my character’s ilevel, which is nice but it would be much higher if I found a better off-hand that didn’t cost quite so much gold. I realize that I could participate in two battlegrounds and get a 710 pvp item, which I may attempt to do, but I normally have horrible luck with things like that, so we’ll have to see.
I do still have one single character not at level 100, a 91 death knight. Whether or not I’ll try to get them to 100 I haven’t decided. Honestly, I’m completely burnt out from doing invasions, so I may just take a bit of a break from that. I spent the rest of the evening working on unlocking my garrison and the introduction into WoD. It’s not required by any means, especially with Legion right around the corner, but the little treasures you collect sell for a nice amount, and I figured it would be fun busy work.
As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!
I made a tentative schedule to see if I could get my priest to 100 before Legion comes out. If everything stays the way it is at the moment, I should be able to do it. We’ll see. Today (Tuesday) the priest is level 85. I’m hoping to reach 90 tomorrow, 95 Thursday, and then 100 between Friday and Sunday. Those SHOULD be do-able goals but honestly things can change, problems can arise, and real life can rear its ugly head, messing everything up.
Have you set any leveling goals for yourself before Legion releases? Are you all finished leveling – and if you are, what are you doing to keep busy?
I’d love to make this a longer post with real in-depth content, but when all I’ve been doing for the past few days is running the same invasions over and over again.. well, it leaves very little content to actually talk about! So I’ll leave it here for now, and we’ll see how I manage to stay on track with my leveling over the next little while (or rather, if I’m ABLE to stay on track). So far it’s looking pretty good.
