SOD is the best thing blizzard has ever done. I LOVE the staggered leveling so I can play some alts and not feel like I have to no life rush 60.
boring ass level 25. this shits basic asf, same as classic
This! Exactly how I feel, I just got my hunter to 25 and am excited to have lots of extra time to level alts.
I’m a confirmed altaholic and have a lock at 10, rogue at 13 and warrior at 14. There are already guilds who are 7/7 in BFD which is nuts
@@SSquirrel1976 I have 3 25s that are 7/7 BFD. It’s an easy raid honestly except like 2 fights. Leveling my fourth now
@@NickPlays95 I mean after 20 years I shouldn’t be surprised. Haven’t had the time to devote that I’d like but even if I did I just can’t focus on one enough to not jump and play another too heh. Even after the cap gets raised the raid will be worth doing. I can imagine a bunch of folks not bothering until they are 30 and gear still being upgrades.
Whoever had the idea at blizzard for the staggered levelling in SoD deserves a raise for sure
bot comment?
I love how it keeps the immeidately irrelevant stuff relevant. Is a great idea.
@@Didi_Meow_AND_theMEWS No you dont get it, its to see how you can minmax the early lvls and how they desinged so much items ppl dont care about and just skip nowdays, its a really good way to make people experience the game in a new way. And who cares with the irrelevant stuff? isnt that in every step in wow or expansion that comes out? what you say doesnt really make sense wtf
@@kappocano i was being sincere >_< my comment was not sarcastic and i meant all the things you are saying there >_
Okay then im sry, since im more in the internet since SoD launched i understand why i left it in the first place, wish you a good day sir!
@@Didi_Meow_AND_theMEWS
Staggered leveling and a 3day raid reset are some of the best ideas Blizzard has had in a long time, both of which I greatly appreciate
I’m loving Season of Discovery. It has been such a long time since I have seen Brill be full of players. Seeing groups running around the Barrens again has also been great. The nostalgia has kept me coming back. It helps that the runes do a good job at making classes feel a bit more fun.
yeah blizzard needed 5 years to make a single baalnced pvp English server for wow clasic. wotlk classic still has no1
@Dualities so get better gear and play better I'm sure it's your fault and not the games bud
sry, but I don't take life tips from 2023 bot promo accounts@@user-eb6gr1ux6w
Staggered levelling and focusing WPvP into one zone are such great ideas.
Makes the game feel so fresh and adding PvP goals works well with the WPvP system.
honestly really like SoD so far. I have 2 25s and I'm currently levelling my third and afterwards probably a fourth and a fifth, too. It's just so much fun to discover how the runes change the classes as we k now and love them
Do you have any leveling tips? I’m still on my first horde toon really struggling with travel time and leveling efficiently.
@@dwarven7155 Get rested XP or any other similar guide. I pirated my copy of rested xp and its great u can find it ezpz just by googling for it.
@dwarven7155 don't rush bro it's more enjoyable
Im having trouble deciding on a main. I got a mage to 19 but am not enjoying it much, and a rogue, druid, and lock at 10 or 11. I'm basically pushing myself to finish the mage to focus on the lock or rogue after.
hunter easy. funnest and most versatile@@DFS71
SOD is awesome. I love the new level cap system being staggered over a longer period. Honestly the rush to 60 in Classic put me off and I stopped playing after I got to around 45ish.
I am very excited for what is to come.
This 🤗
As someone that's always rolled mage on classic I can't imagine that last 20 level grind being a normal class
@@TheZeagon autoattack+youtube :)
Additional point, hanging out in Thunder Bluff and Darnassus has a chance at a useful leveling world buff. Those aren't bad places to just have your hearthstone set at max.
only those two cities?
What's the buff in darny
@@dogtags2010 Same as in TB.
Good point for TB, its not too far off Org either so this is a pretty good shout. Darnassus still feels pretty out of the way for alliance unfortunately. Love the city, but man is it just not well placed
The buff lasts 2 hours and give you multiple stats improvement and mote importantly, +20% move speed which is huge for the classes with no mobility at all. Just try to don't die during those 2 hours or you will lose it.
Absolutely loving SoD so far
you can carry a finished supply shipment AND an unfinished at the same time. so pick up something that you can fill with your own profession, complete it, then pick up another thats unfinished with cheap materials needed and you can hand in the completed one, go to the auction house and buy what you need for the second one (if you cant fill it yourself), fill that up and turn it in.
much faster than just carrying 1 at a time
I wish I knew the Meta quest was bugged so I didn't waste two days scouring the earth for it lol. Was even using Unending Breath and looking in the Seas!!
F
always complaining
Down bad 😂
Meta Quest 3 is doing great, best VR device by far.
We’ve all been there
Ha ha the first time I played well I died and I did not know how to revive myself and so for a whole week I would logon just to be a ghost and I thought the game was gay as fuck. I asked my friend how to not be a ghost And he said just talk to the lady and that’s all I needed to do all along but I was really running around teldrassil looking for my body like what the hell this game sucks
horde's extra flightpath is balanced out in that you have to death run for an hour to get to it
Have you met my friends, the Wetlands and the Night Elves?
Thunder Bluff is the horde hub right now because of the world buff dropping there. It also has excellent layout. Bank, mailbox, AH, forge are all really close to one another.
SOD has been really fun so far imo. Some of that is my classic guild getting back together after falling apart at the end of tbc and playing horde for the fist time, but I really like the idea of adding more horizontal content which was the one thing I liked about playing lost ark. After the changes the Ashenvale event is a lot more fun too, ya sometimes it's not even a pvp event but some of them are really fun with escalating skirmishes leading up to the event and while not perfect, the open world pvp performance is significantly better on the dragonflight client. Having not really spent any time in Ashenvale in the past except for getting the light of Elune it's pretty cool to see the zone popping off with tons of players roaming around and with the mount obtained at friendly reputation it doesn't take long to get and significantly improves the open world enjoyment.
100% agree with u
"I don't know if Gnomes getting +15 Engineering has any significant impact yet"
Gnomes are actually able to craft and use Goblin Jumper Cables at the current profession cap, which I would call pretty significant
going to create an SOD character this week while im on vacation, been messing around on cata classic and miss the old days for sure. I may be alone on this.. but i wish they would have some servers of JUST vanilla content but would have LFD and LFR queue ups. We aren't 15-16 anymore and able to just skip school to continue the grind. I would love to have some actual time to enjoy doing 40man Naxx, ZG, BWL, or finally getting to experience killing Rag in a full raid. Every time i could finally get to that fun end game content it was on to the next expansion.
sod is epic besides the waylaid supplies, i can’t believe blizzard thought that rep grind was quality content
Some of the rune discoveries are really lazy imo
Great video. Im just starting, so it comes handy. Where can i take the WA that shows debuffs above original blizzard enemy nameplates. Looks cool. Thank you!
I'm starting SOD tonight.
Thanks so much for all the videos Willie!!
have fun!! It's been a blast so far
I am doing lower-level quests zones that I didn't do that are green to get gold but the ones that I'm keeping are the ones with max XP those are not being handed in as soon as level cap comes in. Those quests will pop me a couple of levels real fast and I can continue ahead of the mob.
One thing I highly recommend is saving at least 20 quests that are located fairly close together. I plan to have those quests completed but not turned in so when the next phase launches I can go from Red Ridge to Dusk Wood to Storm Wind to Wtlands.Just handing in quests and gaining tons of experience rapidly off the bat.
There's 2 camps really - do this method for phase 2 handins, or get lots of raw gold and dungeon spam in the next phase!
Darnassus is probably my hearth at max. It has an AH, gets you the two hour buff, and it's close enough to Auberdine and Menethil anyway. But you can always just plant an alt in Stormwind too and help summon your guild and then they summon you if you're going there.

People reserving/locking gear, impossible to find groups as melee because 5 classes need the same items. Feels like playing a caster is the safer bet, which sucks.
Sweet video! What addon/WA are you using your put ur dots over the classic healthbars mate? Iv been looking for it like crazy without changing normal health mobs bars
Bump
Any chance you can share it mate?
I hope they keep sod at level cap for a while for us folks with families. 2 hours a night for 2-3 nights. It's a little rough
Right there with you with the time constraints!
Unlikely that the new phase would come before the new year. Maybe the second week of Jan?
Hope you get to level up soon and enjoy the content available!
I believe it’s 2 months per.
Agreed. Level 24 on my first character atm. I feel like each phase will be 90% leveling and slowly getting good gear, and then when I'm at a strong level to feel viable in raid/pvp, the cap will be raised 😂
Yep right with ya bud. My 18 month old has RSV and my 6 year old has strep throat. Game time unfortunately even less the last few days and I just hit level 18 this morning when it was nap time for my daughter.
Video triggered me when I saw the waylaid supply crate for minor wizard oil. I started an alt to level enchanting on. Had 3 toons camping 3 enchanting vendors for the recipe... Only to find it's not in the game yet! What a waste of what precious little free time I have! I can't believe Blizzard would include these boxes if they cannot be satisfied yet. Kind of ruined the great fun I was having up to that point, which included the negative of only having one waylaid at a time into a positive by playing the game "my way."
Oh and I too was in the camp of folks who accidentally auto-turned them in before realizing what was going on. Worst thing is that I at one point got to town with a completed and a non-completed one. I went to turn in the completed one, having already bought the items for the non-completed one, only to have them both turned in :*(
love SoD but they should lower respec cost or give is dual talent :(
The respec cost is only 10 silver the first time anyway. But I agree with dualspec since we can *change* runes whenever we like. Would also be nice to swap spec whenever we like for that sake.
What? you can do one quest at level 25 and afford to do 5 respecs
@@spacedog2980 ye gold isnt an issue. But the fact u can change runes whenever u like - dualspec would be handy / make sense
I think they did that to encourage people to try new ones@@Icicleyo
@@spacedog2980 yes of course. But hence that ease of access to change into your offspec anywhere aka dualspec would be a huge QoL change just for that reason. Granted respeccing is cheap - its only QoL at this point
You can make a tonne of gold from fishing currently. You have to be somewhat adventerous and fish in areas like Northern Stranglethorn, Desolace or Duskwallow. The healing and mana pots are selling for crazy prices (around 1g each on my server) The bolts of silk and heavy leather are currently end game mats so they are selling for way more than normal as well. I'm currently banking all the bolts of mageweave and thick leather for next phase when they skyrocket in value. Even the firefin snapper are selling for a good amount. Bags and boe greens are just icing on top of all that.
There is one thing about the +15 for gnomes, they are the only race that can use the goblin jumper cables so far!
one thing to add: wizard oils (for the supply quests) don't appear to exist yet, so you can't fill those supply boxes.
I might go back and play it. How is the RP? And when do they plan to raise level cap because it's been a month since this video was released. Also I know gnomes could not be hunters in classic but in this version did they allow them to be?
I maxed out my Pally for everything, even honor ranks available. Working on mage, priest, and hunter now
Gnomes engineering is quite handy, they can get Goblin Jumper Cables which needs 165 skill
What addon you have for dots on name plates? i like a lot
How about Darn as a hearth? You'd have all the benefits of a major city and the flight to Astraanar isn't too bad. You'd have to take 2 boats to SW but other than that I don't see much of a down side.. or just roll mage for teles. :)
Wille, your content is still so awesome. Keep up the good work man
NOT HAVING A PTR IS GOOD, DONT TREAT IT AS A NEGATIVE
It depends, i wish we had a PTR to test upcoming runes and maybe the pvp event so we don't run into the really fast reworks we are experiencing rn
They can just add the runes to a test vendor and leave the actual unlocking method as a secret for launch
Ah i didn't mean it that way, I agree its a good thing for the game, was just a thought!
@@ripedroxxnah. Keep everything secret til it’s out. Make all min-maxers start from the same place with no one getting an advantage for playing in a different server that doesn’t affect live progress
@@xbon1if they don't want to use the community as the testers for the first time they need to hire a lot more in house testing. And activisionblizzardmicrosoft won't accept that
Don't talk in caps.
Great news! The runes from the Supply factions now only require Friendly, but only from the Orgrimmar and Stormwind representatives specifically.
Gnome engineers get goblin jumper cables. Makes that racial pretty cool
Notable items to hold on to: Bag of Marbles for Saphiron later on :)
I remember in like 2008 saying I'd love a server with caps at 19/29/39 etc with dungeons turned into raids (I always wanted a WC raid) and people said that was stupid. Wish they didn't delete the old forums so I could dig that gem up.
I'm LOVING SoD.
I haven't hit 25 yet, but I don't feel like I've been left behind all that much.
@WillE Which addon are you using for the dots displayed on the healthbars? :)
So excited for the coming phases, and to be able to die/pvp/use reincarnation as a shaman
Been having a blast so far
I've been out of the loop for a long while as far as wow is concerned. So I really appreciate this video as I contemplate making the jump back in. Just one questions are there plans for SOD to go beyond vanilla eventually?
Gnomes having 165 Engi allows them to use the low tier jumper cables IIRC
First time in classic I was levelling in conjunction with my professions because of the commission rep. What a tiny game changing addition, thoroughly enjoying my casual arse.
Good stuff WillE 😊
Video missed about World buffs. The capital city changed, it is TB and Darn.
Darnassus IS still dead, except for trinkets turn ins After BFD.
what is that addon at 8:15 that shows his dot on the enemy nameplate ? please ive been looking for an addon like that for ages now
Fishing Book was removed from npc in booty bay as well.
Darnassus is best hearth for leveling. That wbuff is insane and always drops
thank you
I just turned in supplies and only filled them if I could. You find them so often you will get rep quicker and not go broke trying to fill them.
I'm on Wild Growth, I guarentee there'll be a huge queue when the cap is increased...
By the way, if anyone gets the supplies for the minor wizard oil and you are planning on always filling up your crates if you find another one while having that minor wizard oil one get rid of it. You cannot actually obtain the minor wizard, oil and season of discovery currently as none of the enchanting trainers sell the recipe.
Thats good to know, but you should get rid of every supply, and restore them all at once every 7 days, that way u get them all nicely packed in ur mail and don't have to bother with just carrying once
This has been hotfixed. Do NOT do this or you'll lose all your crates.@@waayneinteressierts9704
@@waayneinteressierts9704this was patched like 4 days ago
@@waayneinteressierts9704abusing item restoration has always felt like cheating to me. It's definitely more trouble than it's worth for supplies though
Pretty sure there are actually 3 tiers of waylaid supplies. Everyone says there are 2 tiers but there are 3 variety of boxes for each type. For example there are boxes for copper bars, bronze bars, and silver bars. I would assume this means there are 3 tiers of box right now
The waylaid shipments being soulbound and unique...
Gnomes can use the next set of eng bombs right?
The fact there was no PTR I think made the experience so much better. Sure, a lot of things were broken and we didn’t know anything about the new content - but that’s the magic of it all
Yes not knowing everything 2 months before launch is much better. Plus it keeps ppl from getting burned out playing the ptr
Im controlling large portions of the auction house market place trying to make that big boy gold before season 2 making pretty much 30-50gold a day atm almost completely afk I think the more gold I have now the better off Ill be in the next bracket.
As for questing for gold I think you better off Getting 20 level 25+ quests completed and not handing in until phase 2 drops to get 25 to 26 and a half ish in first 10 mins and be ahead of the curve.
I havent been filling those shipment boxes so how much rep do you get if you do fill it?
Depends on the box some are 500 some are 800
Horde HS is BIS in Thunder Bluff. When the 20% movement Speed buff is dropping every 30sec 😊
I've seen more Horde in Thunder Bluff. 2s vs 5s fp's.
I wish I woulda known that the spec I was most excited to play, warlock tank, was gated behind 35-40 hours of leveling and massively long group quest chains, only to find that it is decent but not as powerful and exciting as I thought it would be.
Personally I'm saving the high level quests for turn in when they raise the level cap. Get 2 maybe 3 levels right at the start of the next phase.
I've been playing since the 3rd day that sod was out and I've yet to get invited into an active guild or see any dungeon runs happening. Playing on lava lash pacific night time.
Menethil is Alliance hearth BiS for any iteration of Vanilla/Classic and you cannot change my mind
Just a heads up, blurring text does not obscure it. Go black box or full large pixel. Loved the video keep it up!
Found the Piratesoftware viewer! 😂
i am in love again :P
played for over 10 years, al went downhill when kids started to whine about it being too hard (tbc)
but this is how wow was meant to be, hard enough to barely solo the "end game" quests, with some needing to be in a group
there's one *major* issue tho
bots .....
faction balancing is the greatest thing ever blizzard did for pvp servers. Total unballance is exactly the reason why i play wotlk on PVE. All EU servers were either horde or alliance where PVP totally loose its purpose.
yeah so far it has been amazing, it really feels like 50/50 with fun world pvp
WillE, probably one of, if not the most comfortable voice on TH-cam. The best listen too, before a good night sleep. Beats pro podcast translators too.
what rune is blocked by reputation for warrior? Quite sure i got all runes I needed
I love level cap. Its such a great yet simple change that makes game that much better. It makes you gear up at each path of leveling. I hope it lasts long enough between phases.
I've just been trashing the Waylaid Supplies because they take up valuable inventory space xD
Hmm... so, I have a level 67 rogue on wow classic wrath of the litch king with almost max Alchamy, Herbalisem, Cooking and picklocking. Shoul i go for the same class and proffesions again, or mabey a new class on SoD? I do enjoy rogue doe.
My toons have their Hearth in TB for buff refreshes
You missed a huge one. If you’re a night elf there is a skip in the wetlands to get to Iron Forge instantly
Can you elaborate?
There’s TH-cam videos that detail it better but essentially you swim from the harbor to the edge near where the murlocs are and log out near the shoreline. Report your character stuck and if done right it will spawn you in front of IF and save you a long walk.
i mean that is in the game for like 20 years now xd@@NevanSlone
@@Dualitiesand people still don’t know about it
Is it too late to start over xnas holidays?
Great video as always!
healing rain locked behind supply logistic grind is triggering
Watching this now after starting last week, I’m so broke at level 26 I really wish I started in phase 1 annoying how this game works sometimes
Horde sets Hearthstone to Thunderbluff. This is where BFD buff drops. Orgrimmar is fairly dead compared to other versions of the game. (unless you are a warlock or need an engineering trainer, or something)
im leveling a new rogue, and purposefully avoiding quests to maximize gold gains, not dungeon grinding but grinding world xD
Killing boars in Elwyn with Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny?
Pretty much impossible to get into a raid without serious gold on wild growth. 2 runs in the dungeons to get enough gear to make 20-40 a breeze.... yup super seriously good content so far.
SOD is AMAZING
I’d enjoy it more if I knew how long the phase is. I just hit 25 today and that looming anxiety of must clear all content in 2/3 weeks is there. Want to be able to do the raid a few times at least
The raid resets every 3 days so if that helps. I figure it will last plenty long enough but sense that's just speculation I say enjoy it while you can.
At least you actually made it to max and don't have a ton of alts in there teens lol
8 weeks plenty of time
There will be some advanced warning when they plan to increase the cap it won’t be a day before thing
They will not increase the level cap before Christmas. So sometime in January
Yea same, I just want to do the raid a couple of times and then play other games etc while P2 comes out, cba committing to a raid schedule just for BFD lol
Average WoW Player: looks up everything ahead of time, thus there is no discovery.
The permadeath thing should have a softcore version with just a 3-7 day CD to make sure that the whole world always have people playing... Damn i really want to go back
there is recipe for engi cables to try to ress someone requiring skill 165, which only gnomes can get
Hey my friend, regarding your comment, that Gold is not a problem. You miss the inflation here, if everyone gets more gold (which everyone does) then all items will just be more pricy in the AH and in the end it doesnt matter if everyone has to pay 1s or 1g for their stuff.
Prices are about price and demand, and I trust servers to be full of wow addicts providing an excess of offer and destroying prices.
but the gold you gather up until 25 becomes rather insignificant.
Solid info, hard to focus on content with the rising inflection in every sentence.
Gnomes can get cables at 25 since they require 165 engineer to craft. Thus they can CR at any class they can play
Gnomes get to use jumper cables ⚡
as a hunter i got tailoring and LW bc i got epic boots AND gloves
As a gnome warrior the 165 lets me ress people. Also the goblin jumper cables seem to not break in 7 for 7 with resses so i could just be lucky for now
Great content mate
Lol me and a random group found a supply box and we didnt know what it was so we all passed on it.
As someone whos become very jaded with gaming and has reduced my hours sod is nice but i think if i was gaming like i did 4 years ago id get bored soon
Ngl stagger level+ pvp faction lock is so healthy for the game because it respects players with less time to spend in a good way without ripping active players from their fun.
