Noteworthy observations: First character on a new account: 1-10 New Starting-Area, 10-50 BFA, 50-60 Shadowlands Existing characters and Alts: 1-10 New/Traditional Starting-Area, 10-50 Any Expansion(s), 50-60 Shadowlands Speed: Completing any single expansion sufficient to reach 50...

For whatever it's worth, I wouldn't consider that sort of "Prerequisite Time" to be counted against your total... the clock doesn't start until everyone's in the "first" (so-to-speak) room! You jest... but I've often appreciated how @Brihan's dungeon write-ups will mention mistakes, but without...

I think the rabid "F2P speculators" need to take a deep breath, and ask themselves four questions: 1. "What was Blizzard's goal in creating Trial accounts?" 2. "What was Blizzard's goal in creating Veteran characters?" 3. "How has Blizzard shaped the current game to accommodate those goals?"...

I'd be inclined to file that under "too good to be true"... :rolleyes: Could you imagine? F2Ps with access to every zone and every quest and every NPC and every piece of gear... and all scaled to Level-10 for easy farming? There's simply no way Blizzard™ would allow it. ...but then, what's the...

I think everyone's glossing-over a major development... From Blizzard's official recap: ...I'm betting that this so-called "New Player Experience" will be synonymous with the "F2P Experience" going forward, and F2Ps won't actually get the new "Level in Any Zone" mechanic. :confused: We'll...

It looks like the focus of this thread is more about BiS gear, which even after all these years I'm still lacking... I don't even have all of my desired boss-drops because the current loot-mechanics sometimes require me to solo an entire dungeon 40 times before finally getting whatever item I'm...

REMINDER: We're quickly running-out of time if anyone's still hoping to attempt additional F2P Scarlet Monastery runs... Personally I only had a few spare minutes to "probe their defenses" today... I wasn't actually able to discover any convenient entry-points, but I did concoct some...

The odds would definitely not be in your favor... but if you want to gamble, the most-likey "zone drops" would be: https://www.wowhead.com/item=7728/beguiler-robes https://www.wowhead.com/item=7729/chesterfall-musket https://www.wowhead.com/item=7730/cobalt-crusher...

Nice work; much appreciated! :D Seriously-cool pose... but I do hope that Alliance Engineering someday progresses far-enough to give its citizens "lights"! ;)

Aww, man... :( I'll be "pourin' one out" for the all-time BiS gaming-buddy...

What, that? That's still "pure"...

That will certainly speed-things-up a bit... but I suspect that you'll still be cursing RNGesus when you're eventually trying to get the last few drops! :p As I described earlier, non-legacy Rare-NPCs have an oLvl that correlates to a range of dropped uLvls (Terrowulf: oLvl 32 -> uLvls...

Very cool! Thanks for tracking all of your results! :D That's quite a goal... I hope you appreciate the magnitude of just what you're committing-to! :eek: (EDIT: Gratz on confirming all of the predictions!) ;)

I love ya', Al... but I'm not going to flood this thread with hundreds of screenshots just for your amusement! :p If there are any particular stats that someone would like to see, I'm happy to take requests... I'd even be willing to link a complete .ZIP if someone simply wants to peruse them...

Just to get your original question out of the way (it would've made a good "poll"): I personally would not consider purchasable items part of F2P. There's been a great deal of valuable insight in this thread... but @Chops pretty-much summed it all up with that one sentence. ;) Different people...

Just to give a little credit where it's due, I can corroborate confusedly trying to help @Veechard solve his "mystery" back then... but it obviously wasn't until @Rhaellia actually took the initiative of farming/presenting Azshara drops "in bulk" that a thread like this became possible! ;) So...

That's a strong "swing"... but if it lands in the sandtrap, you're never gonna' make "par" for this hole! ;) (...and as much as I love all the things that the Darkmoon Cannon makes possible, it also pains me just how much it now trivializes some of my greatest oldschool explorations!) :oops...
