Will you be playing the "new" 19 bracket?

So upon further testing, I would NOT recommend lvling your 39's to 43/44. It won't hurt you if you did (I did with some of my 39's but not all), but it could make your character VERY susceptible to lvling. Currently on PTR, every character I copy over is 1 XP from lvling, so if you lvl to 43/44, you will need to have XP LOCKED before patch day to ensure you don't accidently lvl!
been yakkin bout it with squad fam
we vets/f2ps r in the same boat prolly
lockin errthing b4 tuesday
now
which tuesday would that b tho
 
Arenas got moved to 20+ in the most recent build. The skirmish button was still there on 10-19s, but didn't do anything when I pressed it. 20+ gets queued up just fine :(

Any updates on advice for turning 39s into SL 19s since last post, especially now that we have a pre-patch date? Great thread, thanks for your work DC.
 
tl;dr is: level to 42. learn 100% mount speed. don't turn in quest for rewards (they will be better if turned in after the squish).

Yes. I recommend several things if you are a lvl 19, 29, or 39.


Lvl 19, 29, and 39 Shadowlands Pre-Patch Prep


MUST DO

  • Lvl to 40 and learn 100% mount speed! It will be GF’d!

SHOULD DO

  • Consolidate Marks of Honor to 1 or 2 characters. Prepare to buy honor gems from Stormwind PVP vendor. DO NOT BUY BEFORE PRE-PATCH!

  • Buy/Farm mats for TBC, WotLK, and possibly BfA to prepare to lvl Engineering, Jewelcrafting, and/or Alchemy on your main character(s).

ON PATCH DAY

  • Go to Shattrath and buy all the gear you can use from G'eras. There will be a portal available in the portal room for 19s.

  • Learn TBC, WotLK and BfA professions (might be hotfixed).

  • Unlock your artifact weapon quest (do not put in relic gems yet!)

  • Enchant your artifact weapon (needs to be applied while the ilvl is low).

  • If Legion Dungeon gear is still ilvl 44, run those until you have a full set.

  • If not, run BC dungeons to get socket gear. Honestly, you can likely solo.

  • Socket BC gear.

  • Socket relic weapon.

  • Train your new Engineering/professions.
