@Christa Crissy What i did was: Farm honor and buy most pvp items. Then started doing Mythic 0 dungeons from looking from group. I got to 200 ilvl pretty easily (mythic dungeons drop really good gear) Then started doing +2 +3 +4 etc. Then a friend of mine helps me do a +15 every week to get the highest drop in the Weekly Vault. Hope i helped :)
@@YISP7 i did this left in pre patch to legion came back 2 months ago and man im struggeling to get into M+ and chances to get Keystone master mount is very small which is a shame coz it is really cool...
dude thank you for this. This is the most straightforward shadowlands guide I could find. Been playing it at 60 for 3 weeks now and I'm still just running around doing random stuff lol
if your legendary power comes out of a torghast wing which is not currently active, you can get it from the floor 6 boss in twisting corridors (I think layer 3 or higher) - just queue until you get the correct wing in the corridors
yeah catchup isnt bad at all, the hard part is getting over that 200 ilvl plateau, which i dont sweat right now, cause i have 49 alts to play with and 9.1 will aid with the overall gear plateau.
@@deadlimedragon it is luck if you read the top 3 comments so far you know for some it never happens getting gear based on pure luck is still not a good source at all
If you are an alt and didn't start with Threads of Fate, make sure to turn Threads on just BEFORE level 60. Then go to each zone and get the 4 quests. These will give you "easy" 4 Renown.
@@triplezero2318 on an alt, threads let's you skip the main campaign and pick a covenant. You then get a "fill the bar" meta quest for each zone. You complete them by doing dungeons or world quests in each zone.
For catching up on Renown I really recommend doing LFR. It's boring but basically guaranteed to win and bosses have a very high chance to drop a renown.
I just don't get why Blizzard make it so systems heavy and disorderly to get more powerful... Like I don't even mind how long it takes, but let me just make my character more powerful getting better gear and upgrading my mage abilities. Instead I have to be a 30% mage and 70% all these other weird borrowed power systems
I am ready to get my 4th 60, the other three are in all different Covenants and finished with their Renown 40. I am purposely leveling to the final of the four Covenants so I can get the full story for what happens when 9.1 finally drops. (Yay, flying!) I am trying to keep up with Callings because of the gold :)
@@dukejohn2898 Yeah, I have been following. Before this expansion I had all Allied Races and my other chars, 22 at the time to 50, so who knows how many I can get to 60 as I wait. :)
I am right there with you. Once upon a time ( I have been playing since closed Beta in 2004) I played an insane amount. Now, I am old and too busy, but I still get it all done playing a couple of hours in the morning, and shooting for Calling time in the afternoon for an hour or two. Seeing the story with all four Covenants let's us see what the beloved dead people from our past have in store for us. I have all of the classes, but I have 2 of some and numerous hunters because they can farm mounts for me :)
Thank you for this! I just hit 60 as I got into Shadowlands a few months late after a several year long hiatus from WoW. I was glad to see your channel still around as your guides have always been very helpful.
Thank you Hazel. I mean that sincerely bc u saved me some money. I was thinking about playing wow again for a bit as I had the itch. But after watching the absolutely convoluted amount of confusing nonsense I would have to go through to just get gear, I decided I didn't want to.
leveling a new fury warrior has been a new learning experience, i was able to do everything in this video in 2 days played, over the course of almost 2 weeks, item level is now 198, was able to do torghast fairly easily because victory rush powers are super op haha
The thing I would add is the dark moon deck trinkets. They are relatively cheap 200 ilvl gear. I JUST replaced it on my 215 Shammy because it's actually one of the better healing tickets.
That trinket is actually amazing for healing compared to other ones of the same ilvl! The tanking one is horrible in contrast, nice main stats tho to replace your 130 ilvl one
On legendary powers: If you need the power from a torghast wing that is not aktive, you can rin twisting corridors on lvl 3, as the bosses there are random and drop the associated übertragen if killed
im just trying to get back into this game after giving up last expansion. catching up and figuring out allll of this stuff is like a part time job still. This is like a employee training video and i have a hard time not zoning out and checking socail media while trying to follow all of this lol
This was really useful. I just came back to the game after being away when my guild collapsed in the middle of battle for azeroth and this is exactly what I was wondering when I hit 60 the other day
Definitely check rares for rings/weapons/trinkets(ardenweald particularly has a good selection of these last ones!) . Their item level scales with World Quest - so you can get 194 stuff from those quite neatly, and seem to have good drop rates. Note this doesn't apply to treasures, mostly - those seem to cap at 146 or so. A very smooth way to fill in those gaps. The real tricky one is necklace, which seems to be extremely low sources, although they do exist.
Work those skills up. IE. Leatherworking, Tailoring, Enchanting. Will help your lower alts by making items to help boost ILvl. Can do easy 151 gear, or if you have gotten Makers Mark II, 187 gear. Then easy to get to 194 gear thru Covenant & WQ's.
Been mostly listening to the videos for some time now but this is the first time seeing the person who does them: you are gorgeous! just wanted to leave that here.
This is not just my first 60 in SL, but my first 60 in WoW, ever. I'm a new player, and even though I didn't understand half of this, it was still helpful :)
Been playing this game off and on since its conception in 04 and I was trying to get back into Shadowlands for weeks after coming back from a year or so break for Burning Crusade. Nothing online gave an easy to follow outline of how to acclimate and get started again with all the new stuff and then I stumbled upon this video! I never write comments on TH-cam but you saved me from endless frustration of trying to figure out an entire new expansion with no guidelines. Mad love and you got a like and sub outta me! Thank you!
I've come back since quitting at Cata and I've literally no idea what I'm doing. Up to 1:45 of your video was very much a loads of words I couldn't understand because I don't know what any of it means. Whats a conduit? Soulbinds? Renown? I'm literally lost haha
1. Conduit: think of it like an old-school talent point; adding numbers and stuff to your Soulbind. 2. Soulbind: it's basically an additional talent tree, unique for each member of each Covenant you can join. Each Covenant has 3 members you can Soulbind with, and they have talent trees that you slot Conduits into. 3. Renown: it's basically reputation levels with each Covenant
1 Thing to note, is that if you enchant a piece that is upgradeable, such as PvP gear or the Covenant story gear, it will retain the enchant when it is upgraded. Most probably know this already but mu friends and I didn't know that at the start of the expansion.
I’ve been waiting on this video...I haven’t played to seriously this expac ..hit 60 on a couple toons and had no idea what next so I made and leveled alts 😆..Thank you!
I just finished watching a video where she had a pet battle with Asmongold and remember hearing, "you make all those TH-cam guides! You have been so helpful!" I find that your content earns this compliment over and over again.
Timewalking as well! The timewalking dungeons drop alright gear (I think it's ilvl158, not sure) but the timewalking raids drop ilvl 200! Just gotta have the patience to get through and learn the old raid mechanics ♥
Some improovments, some activitys give you 100% renown early on, but fall off later in %, the callings for example, they give you allways a renown up untill 15ish if I remember correctly, so prioritze them if it says that you get renown, when you are there to go LFR, go as soon as possible, renown drops here also decreese as your renown grows, from 20-25 onwards only way I could 100% always get a renown was on my main who switched covenants by running at least M+10, everything below failed to give 100% renown, Mythic raid I expect to be also 100%, haven´t tested Heroic yet. The weekly stuff would be due to do it on a Monday(US) or Tuesday(EU), the campaign should be started asap if you look for gearing up, for switching covenant you should delay ALL campaign quests untill Renown 21 at least if you wish to compleat your first soulbind asap, or 25 if you wish to get all your soulbinds compleatly unlocked. TLDR; Prioritize the easiest content that gives renown first, and leave the 100% stuff like anima weekly souls weekly, world boss and campaign for the last possible moment. PS: this is from my own testing and catching up, no meta data used^^
@@gsh4373 yes ofc the weeklys always give you, which is why you shoulöd not turn them in untill right before the weekly reset to keep the chances of getting renown for other activitys during the weeky higher
Crap this was so helpful, thank you. Shadowlands endgame content is so overwhelming and the zones have been a miserable slog. It was really punishing jumping into this fresh before I found your vid.
Your content is amazing and I appreciate it so much. You're pretty much the reason I stayed subscribed once I hit 60 because I had no clue what to do after that. An aside: I can't even put into words how much I hate The Maw and Torghast. Ugh.
I've been playing this expansion for a while and I didn't know about the trading favors quest from the brokers. If ppl are willing to put in the time there are 4 pieces of reputation gear that are item level 200. The PvP gear is best for classes and specs who get more benefit from versatility in pve content. Just Google stat priority and your class/spec. If you just complete a mythic 2 dungeon (as far as I know you don't need to time it) or a normal raid boss (above LFR) you can get an item level 200 from your vault. There are really low drop rate 207 items , I randomly got a 207 boe cloak from normal necrotic wake. Overall great guide, the things I've mentioned are just some niche alternatives and side notes. (Edit- you can use your command table to get some gear upgrades provided that you have progressed it far ebough. Also while I was still doing the anima conductor to do the treasure I did get some gear upgrades but I'm not sure how high the item level goes up to.).
For the anima upgrades I suggest going for Sanguine Depths and the LFR Denathrius fight. Both give you quests that reward 750 anima each. I think you need around 3000 anima in order to upgrade everything to 197, so if you do the world boss, finish gathering the 1000 anima for the weekly, then deliver the quests I mentioned, you'd should be pretty much set as a solo player (just remember to avoid building the Mission Table before upgrading).
"Craft your legendary. Maybe later a second legendary, but let's just start with the one." :'D I still can't wrap my head around how those words aren't even joking.
(Note: Only do this if you're confident in your class): If you know what legendary you're going to get, you can buy the white-piece legendary gear (I'd recommend the rank 2 210 one if you're close to weekly reset because running the wings two times will you give you enough soul ash for it) to get a quick and easy ilvl upgrade to be able to do LFR content. I obviously wouldnt do this if you were a tank or something important or if you are super undergeared~!
Biggest advice is to do LFR. IF anything just the Sire Denathrius kill. Gives tons of anima to upgrade your covenant gear very quickly! I've geared up my 3 characters pretty quickly doing LFR ASAP.
Coming back to wow after 3 year break. As soon as I heard that voice it took me back to watching pet battle strats from previous expansions. Good times.
Great guide! Im currently as of Norman Osborn Day 2022, lvl 59, about halfway to 60. Finishing up Ardenweald. Looking forward to endgame content/ raiding and gearing. Item lvl is at 113 😅. I’ve been playing on and off since WotLK casually, so this is exciting for me. Finally catching up! 🖖🏽🍻
great guide thank you - going to have to watch it again i think and take some notes - there's a lot going on (but i like that - lots of ways to progress)
Pretty sure there is a ilvl req for normal 60 dungeons. I boosted a character and had a ilvl req for shadowlands dungeons at 51. I would assume this would apply at 60 too albeit a low req.
Also, make sure you turn in your Conduits before you pick up your Calling reward. Even if you don't open the chest, it seems to "roll" the rewards when you receive the chest, not when you open it. I was getting dupes when I was picking up the chest first and opened after using the conduits.
As I new player I have no idea what renown is, what conduits and covenants even are and honestly it's very overwhelming and stressful because so far i have not found a single video thaf explains what all these wow specific terms mean. For now i might just lvl a new character and decide what I am gonna do in the future. I really enjoy the game but it's just sad that it's so overwhelming and complicated to get into that it's kinda pushing me away from playing it.
The only thing, what you need to catch up, is make your campaign, you get the offer to upgrade this items to 197 with anima, so farm each anima ressource, if you see them, than upgrade your covenant items to 197 and farm your conduits. 5 alts, each making on this way to 200+ easily. If you want something else, what you can do, that guide is very helpfull for each mechanic what you can do next to the campaign, but you dont get higher items from that, than from the campaign :)
Question, so after level 60 how to be strong and kill enemy from first strike? I’ve seen a lot of level 60 *guides* doing it and they all look tall skinny characters with shiny mounts?? Love it lol. So far I’ve got the achievement of 1K quests. Thank alot for this awesome video liked and subbed x 💚🎊🎊🎊
I would suggest grabbing professions for making your own gear instead of just buying it because one it's cheaper and two after you cap it you can make some easy money crafting gear and selling it in ah too
Hazel your videos are always SO helpful. I played some and leveled to cap when shadowlands came out and then kind of fell away. Coming back this is a life saver reminding me of everything and teaching me what I should be going for! Love your videos! Great content.
how to gear up fast as hell, buy white 225 items, keep em in inventory for a boost to 170 so u can join lfr. thank you for coming to my TED talk, and ofc sell the white items when no longer needed
I defeniately would recommend that if you're alt can use two handed swords, taking advantage of collecting Sorrowbane from Maldraxis is a good idea (Good guides on wowhead or MrGM as well if needed) If you are like me and don't main a class that uses two handers, you probably never bothered doing this. It nets you a 180 weapon easily without prerequisite gear, a pet, and credit towards the treasure achievement for maldraxis. Even if you only use it for off spec, it can be nice to have a decent option so you can use you're LFR token from the campaign on another weapon type. (or have a decent off hand for Fury, for example).
yeah Sorrowbane is much good, but if everyone else is going for it, you're not likely to get it, the stars have to align in your favor, better to just do it once for the Battle Pet and the Transmog.
Maybe just one information missing, in the daily chest from the covenant calling, you have a chance to drop some pieces of gear, the ilvl depends on the renown. Another good reason to do them in the process of gearing an alt.
Not sure about anyone else but I buy the Darkmoon deck right away as it's a HUGE ilvl upgrade and then make any armor that I can on my toons with professions. When I hit 60 my ilvl is at least 155 ish.
You don't actually need to craft your legendary, just having the base item in the bag counts for ilvl requirements for dungeon and raid finders. So you can buy it early on to get to heroic dungeons and LFR quicker.
Personally I farm some honor and dungeons before 60 to get 140-150ilvl without using the AH, then I do the 8 mythic dungeons, the world boss and craft the legendary. The timewalking or mythic dungeon quest is a nice bonus if available. Finally I push m+ keys for upgrades renown and vault rewards. Optionally I do the campaign and raid for quick renown. At around 200ilvl I start farming conquest.
You're an angel! That was exactly what I needed, just came back to the game and I was a little lost with all the new currencies and weekly/dailys. Now I'm good to go!
I would actually recommend only to learn the conduits that are the best for your class and spec since its alot easier to upgrade them with the maw since it upgrades the lowest of your already learned conduits.
I guess it comes down to a fresh 60 mindset. If I know .5 was coming out, I wouldn't bother grinding too many dungeons for gear until getting valor-capable upgrades. I just wouldn't want to burn out from the game. It's kind of the reason I parked my main atm and just stop. Not that it has anything to do that I am Warlock and it's difficult to get groups.
I love pvp, and this is hands down my favorite gearing system so far!! Wish I didn't have to play pve content for it... there is a renown lock for some reason, even though it is unrelated.
It is related. There are many things as pvper required. You increase health, covenant shit. Its so unplayable as pvpers now And you say honor system do you realize how much time you need to gear 1 character. Its soo terrible
I am sorry if you addressed this in another video, but what did you find effective to level as a generally solo player? I have an army of alts that I would like to level up.
I stopped playing wow about a week into Shadowlands and just returned yesterday. Thanks for the video but all it did was confuse me more thén ever. Didnt understand more then half of what you were talking about.
Thank you so so much !! i was looking for a guide like this for some time now, for example i did not know that i can skip the SL campaign if i already did it with another character, so i did it with 3 character already xD . You have a sub from me ^^
Forget about worldquests unless it's for rings or trinkets. Mayyyybe a weapon early on, but don't waste time on armour as you will get it from your classhall campaign.
Such an informative video! I loved it! I'm leveling a Paladin at the moment, just reached Shadowlands (Lv 48). Would love some ideas for fast progress in Threads of fate, too! :)
I keep watching these "what to do at 60" videos and it's so overwhelming I just go back to leveling alts.
Just take it one step at a time :)
Facts. There so much ch specific game language that isn’t explained…

@@gsh4373 yes ofc the weeklys always give you, which is why you shoulöd not turn them in untill right before the weekly reset to keep the chances of getting renown for other activitys during the weeky higher
Crap this was so helpful, thank you. Shadowlands endgame content is so overwhelming and the zones have been a miserable slog. It was really punishing jumping into this fresh before I found your vid.
Your content is amazing and I appreciate it so much. You're pretty much the reason I stayed subscribed once I hit 60 because I had no clue what to do after that.
An aside: I can't even put into words how much I hate The Maw and Torghast. Ugh.
I've been playing this expansion for a while and I didn't know about the trading favors quest from the brokers. If ppl are willing to put in the time there are 4 pieces of reputation gear that are item level 200. The PvP gear is best for classes and specs who get more benefit from versatility in pve content. Just Google stat priority and your class/spec. If you just complete a mythic 2 dungeon (as far as I know you don't need to time it) or a normal raid boss (above LFR) you can get an item level 200 from your vault. There are really low drop rate 207 items , I randomly got a 207 boe cloak from normal necrotic wake. Overall great guide, the things I've mentioned are just some niche alternatives and side notes. (Edit- you can use your command table to get some gear upgrades provided that you have progressed it far ebough. Also while I was still doing the anima conductor to do the treasure I did get some gear upgrades but I'm not sure how high the item level goes up to.).
For the anima upgrades I suggest going for Sanguine Depths and the LFR Denathrius fight. Both give you quests that reward 750 anima each. I think you need around 3000 anima in order to upgrade everything to 197, so if you do the world boss, finish gathering the 1000 anima for the weekly, then deliver the quests I mentioned, you'd should be pretty much set as a solo player (just remember to avoid building the Mission Table before upgrading).
I miss the good ol' days when we just farmed gear that dropped from specific bosses. I hate all this chasing random RNG or crafting framing powers.
"Craft your legendary. Maybe later a second legendary, but let's just start with the one." :'D
I still can't wrap my head around how those words aren't even joking.
Well whats legendary about a legendary that you craft when you hit 60? 0.
Thank you so much for this guide, I didn’t know where to start after I leveled my alt. This helped a lot
The wrath of the jailer weekly event in the maw also has a chance to drop 184 gear, might be even higher these days as I haven't done it in a while.
Thank you Hazel for taking the time to make this guide for all of us. Much appreciated. 👍
Wanted to comment to help the channel. This a great overview, good job!! Thank you!
(Note: Only do this if you're confident in your class): If you know what legendary you're going to get, you can buy the white-piece legendary gear (I'd recommend the rank 2 210 one if you're close to weekly reset because running the wings two times will you give you enough soul ash for it) to get a quick and easy ilvl upgrade to be able to do LFR content. I obviously wouldnt do this if you were a tank or something important or if you are super undergeared~!
Biggest advice is to do LFR. IF anything just the Sire Denathrius kill. Gives tons of anima to upgrade your covenant gear very quickly! I've geared up my 3 characters pretty quickly doing LFR ASAP.
Finding a new video of yours is always a sweet treat which I savor by stopping my activities to whatch it while munching on a handful of snacks.
Coming back to wow after 3 year break. As soon as I heard that voice it took me back to watching pet battle strats from previous expansions. Good times.
Great guide! Im currently as of Norman Osborn Day 2022, lvl 59, about halfway to 60. Finishing up Ardenweald. Looking forward to endgame content/ raiding and gearing. Item lvl is at 113 😅. I’ve been playing on and off since WotLK casually, so this is exciting for me. Finally catching up! 🖖🏽🍻
great guide thank you - going to have to watch it again i think and take some notes - there's a lot going on (but i like that - lots of ways to progress)
Pretty sure there is a ilvl req for normal 60 dungeons. I boosted a character and had a ilvl req for shadowlands dungeons at 51. I would assume this would apply at 60 too albeit a low req.
this helps so much, thank u! i get anxious asking people in my guild for advice so this is rly a life saver
Also, make sure you turn in your Conduits before you pick up your Calling reward. Even if you don't open the chest, it seems to "roll" the rewards when you receive the chest, not when you open it. I was getting dupes when I was picking up the chest first and opened after using the conduits.
Just came back to WoW after 5yrs or so, totally lost lol. This guide does help alot thank you 👍🏻
As I new player I have no idea what renown is, what conduits and covenants even are and honestly it's very overwhelming and stressful because so far i have not found a single video thaf explains what all these wow specific terms mean. For now i might just lvl a new character and decide what I am gonna do in the future. I really enjoy the game but it's just sad that it's so overwhelming and complicated to get into that it's kinda pushing me away from playing it.
The only thing, what you need to catch up, is make your campaign, you get the offer to upgrade this items to 197 with anima, so farm each anima ressource, if you see them, than upgrade your covenant items to 197 and farm your conduits. 5 alts, each making on this way to 200+ easily.
If you want something else, what you can do, that guide is very helpfull for each mechanic what you can do next to the campaign, but you dont get higher items from that, than from the campaign :)
Thanks for the helpful vid. I was out there flapping lol. An idea of which way to go is extremely helpful
Question, so after level 60 how to be strong and kill enemy from first strike? I’ve seen a lot of level 60 *guides* doing it and they all look tall skinny characters with shiny mounts?? Love it lol. So far I’ve got the achievement of 1K quests. Thank alot for this awesome video liked and subbed x 💚🎊🎊🎊
Thank you so much. Just returned after a few months and just hit 60. Tad bit lost as to what to do now but this helped so much!! ❤
Alot has changed since this video please post a updated version
I was looking for a video like this but everyone was giving way too much beginner tips, TY
Love your conent, Hazel. Thanks for all your hard work.
I would suggest grabbing professions for making your own gear instead of just buying it because one it's cheaper and two after you cap it you can make some easy money crafting gear and selling it in ah too
I really love these catch up guides! I took as gospel the one you did for bfa and it helped me a lot! Thank you so much!
Hazel your videos are always SO helpful. I played some and leveled to cap when shadowlands came out and then kind of fell away. Coming back this is a life saver reminding me of everything and teaching me what I should be going for! Love your videos! Great content.
This is an awesome video! I hope people share it to all their new friends joining!
how to gear up fast as hell, buy white 225 items, keep em in inventory for a boost to 170 so u can join lfr. thank you for coming to my TED talk, and ofc sell the white items when no longer needed
this is old but it came in clutch. i had no idea what any of this stuff was.
incredibly useful informations. Thanks a lot. Didn't play since last december, I had so many questions ! Thanks again !
I defeniately would recommend that if you're alt can use two handed swords, taking advantage of collecting Sorrowbane from Maldraxis is a good idea (Good guides on wowhead or MrGM as well if needed)
If you are like me and don't main a class that uses two handers, you probably never bothered doing this. It nets you a 180 weapon easily without prerequisite gear, a pet, and credit towards the treasure achievement for maldraxis. Even if you only use it for off spec, it can be nice to have a decent option so you can use you're LFR token from the campaign on another weapon type. (or have a decent off hand for Fury, for example).
yeah Sorrowbane is much good, but if everyone else is going for it, you're not likely to get it, the stars have to align in your favor, better to just do it once for the Battle Pet and the Transmog.
awesome guide and i learned new stuff and why i should complete the campaign on all alts and main. thank you! ♥
new returning player, thank you cour humoring us. subbed and liked the video
Thanks for your helpful guides. As a new player your explanations help me a lot.
Maybe just one information missing, in the daily chest from the covenant calling, you have a chance to drop some pieces of gear, the ilvl depends on the renown. Another good reason to do them in the process of gearing an alt.
Not sure about anyone else but I buy the Darkmoon deck right away as it's a HUGE ilvl upgrade and then make any armor that I can on my toons with professions. When I hit 60 my ilvl is at least 155 ish.
i am all about creating my own gear, it's why i have so many alts. XD
You don't actually need to craft your legendary, just having the base item in the bag counts for ilvl requirements for dungeon and raid finders. So you can buy it early on to get to heroic dungeons and LFR quicker.
My gosh this seems overwhelming a lot of stuff to do, to get caught up.
Personally I farm some honor and dungeons before 60 to get 140-150ilvl without using the AH, then I do the 8 mythic dungeons, the world boss and craft the legendary. The timewalking or mythic dungeon quest is a nice bonus if available.
Finally I push m+ keys for upgrades renown and vault rewards.
Optionally I do the campaign and raid for quick renown.
At around 200ilvl I start farming conquest.
This is what I needed!!! Thanks so much, such a great video!
Okay so I boosted.. 😒 and I have no idea where to go and what to do. This was great, but I don’t know where to start. Help 😂
Remember when you hit level cap and just started playing the game instantly to gear
Only been playing wow for a week great guides 👍
I last played in 2012 when I was 13 and had no Idea what I was doing, now I'm almost 22 and still have no idea what I'm doing
You're an angel! That was exactly what I needed, just came back to the game and I was a little lost with all the new currencies and weekly/dailys. Now I'm good to go!
it's not really as complicated as it seems.
I would actually recommend only to learn the conduits that are the best for your class and spec since its alot easier to upgrade them with the maw since it upgrades the lowest of your already learned conduits.
I guess it comes down to a fresh 60 mindset. If I know .5 was coming out, I wouldn't bother grinding too many dungeons for gear until getting valor-capable upgrades. I just wouldn't want to burn out from the game. It's kind of the reason I parked my main atm and just stop. Not that it has anything to do that I am Warlock and it's difficult to get groups.
This is a great guide for anyone switching covenants too btw
I love pvp, and this is hands down my favorite gearing system so far!! Wish I didn't have to play pve content for it... there is a renown lock for some reason, even though it is unrelated.
It is related. There are many things as pvper required. You increase health, covenant shit. Its so unplayable as pvpers now
And you say honor system do you realize how much time you need to gear 1 character. Its soo terrible
I am sorry if you addressed this in another video, but what did you find effective to level as a generally solo player? I have an army of alts that I would like to level up.
I stopped playing wow about a week into Shadowlands and just returned yesterday. Thanks for the video but all it did was confuse me more thén ever. Didnt understand more then half of what you were talking about.
I like the guide it is very thorough, but that's quite a bit of work for gearing 10 alts at the same time...
Thank you so so much !! i was looking for a guide like this for some time now, for example i did not know that i can skip the SL campaign if i already did it with another character, so i did it with 3 character already xD . You have a sub from me ^^
Is the audio on this video super low? I have the volume maxed on TH-cam and I can barely hear it!
5:38 had no idea! Thanks Hazel!
I'm so grateful for this video, it's really really helpful.
Forget about worldquests unless it's for rings or trinkets. Mayyyybe a weapon early on, but don't waste time on armour as you will get it from your classhall campaign.
Great video hazel as always and very helpful thank you.
Great timing! I'm just about to turn my attention from my main to my alt and get him geared up.
Such an informative video! I loved it! I'm leveling a Paladin at the moment, just reached Shadowlands (Lv 48). Would love some ideas for fast progress in Threads of fate, too! :)
Super helpful. Thanks!
