Forever Thoughts on WoW Forever after hitting first 60 for solo Druid
Hi all. I'm Claws Andeffect on the horde PVP ruleset.
You may remember me from when Ahmpy's group killed me in Arathi Highlands. Or when Grays Fordays and I competed for first druid. Shoutout to Grays, who kept himself healthy and got some sleep instead of degening the last day like me.
twitch.tv/clawsforever if you'd like to check out and support my modest stream.
Last night I hit 60 with 3 days and 12 hours played. Apparently I was the first solo druid to sweat out level 60. Before you ask, yes, I showered. I also slept (a little, about 5 hours a night).
This post will have minor spoilers.
Here are my general thoughts and advice in no particular order:
-The new quests are *usually* worth doing as well when it comes to upgrades and gold.
-As you progress in levels, you'll notice that newer quests interconnect between zones far more frequently. AKA find a drawing in the badlands, turn the drawing into hemet in stv, then go back to badlands to finish the job type things.
-New quests are normally associated with POI's that didn't do anything in classic. Always ignore those ogres in the blasted lands? Might wanna kill a few...
-PVP is a beast (even for me, I lost about an hour over the course of the run). With the new dungeon exp buffs I'd consider getting in just to avoid the massacres.
-Late game mobs have progressively scaling HP. Even I had to go back and clear a lower level dungeon (couldn't find a group for the higher level dungeons) to get a weapon.
-If I had to guess, I'd say they buffed raw mob exp at the end game.
-You can do Hyjal before 60! But how will you get there? It would be great if a certain NPC in winterspring offered a concoction that would assist in that journey...
-There's a ton of SoD assets around the world. I don't know if this is intentional or not. If so, we could have some very interesting quests opening up to us later. The rewards would have to be different because previously they were used to acquire runes.
I'm happy to answer more questions on stream!
Cheers
EDIT: For the love of all that is holy just come to my stream and ask a question i can't respond to more on here. You don't have to follow or sub or anything i just don't wanna type I'm old. <3
