  1. Did anyone have any luck clearing banked XP from the prepatch?

    Not logging the character during active gametime is going to be hard when free weekends drop by surprise. I can appreciate the front line GMs, but still frustrating. The silver lining is that they seem to have fixed the bug where F2Ps can't unlock our XP without needing to put in a ticket...
  2. Gold cap change?

    I think the "bug" came about because someone pointed out that F2Ps could withdraw enough to put them over the 1K mark, which would result in the excess gold vanishing into nothingness. It's not hard to work around; have something to sell (a cheap item you just bought, or a bit of vendor trash...
  3. Did anyone have any luck clearing banked XP from the prepatch?

    It's been sixty days since the prepatch and vets being treated as starters. I relogged my toon with banked XP hoping that the welcome back boost would fix it, but it's all still there. Did anyone have any luck getting theirs cleared from back then (and thus I should hope to try again and get a...
  4. arc mage got ganked

    It's probably less about the missiles than it is about the fact that the stats on all our gear got reduced when TWW went live. Part of blizz wanting to have a smoother power scaling while leveling. I used to be better able to delete things with just fully charged ABs, not anymore since the...
  5. Rugged leather for trial f2P account

    Wreckage is generally best for chests, but you might as well fish up schools too. A pool now is probably better than hoping you find a better pool later. Also, while I'm not sure the mechanics, I'd be surprised if ignoring schools wouldn't eventually clog up either the available spawn points...
  6. portals not working?

    You just have to be in any chromie time. All chromie times are the same phase as far as the game is concerned, except for what dungeons you can queue for.
  7. What can a high level character unlock in Shadowlands?

    I'm primarily asking about unlocking access to new quests or areas that a F2P could not, similar to how someone who completed the BFA campaign can access invasion WQs and Mechagon. Also relevant are anything that unlocks character creation/barbershop options, and anything else that would...
  8. What can a high level character unlock in Shadowlands?

    I'm contemplating a month to unlock adventure mode in DF. While I'm at it, I wonder if there are any similar perks in SL that I should try to get for all my characters going forward. Are there any such things, and for that matter is there anything else I should look to unlock during that time...
  9. Profession Choice for f2p Main

    Inscription has shoulder enchants that require you to know inscription. Similar to how tinkers require engineering and the alchemist's flask requires alchemy. Right now the inscription shoulder enchants are better for you than the flask (engineering is hard to top so should always get a spot)...
  10. TBC Soloing Experiences

    This is nifty for DKs and DHs, but I don't think anybody else has the same sort of thing.
  11. Is it possible to not be dead weight as F2P level 20 in BGs?

    Max ilvl for 20s is somewhere in the 80s. 89 with lucky epic procs, but the stat difference between 89 purples and 84 blues is minimal so the priority is sockets instead. Max ilvl for 29s is quite a bit higher. For reasons that boil down to twinks bullying levelers in BGs and annoying paying...
  12. What did you loot today?=)

    Managed to snag both the elusive quickhoof and the gray riding camel over the course of a week.
  13. Newbie question

    Be careful what you wish for. If you could pay hourly or daily, expect a lot more grind and FOMO to encourage you to keep coming back. That said, $15 isn't that bad when you want to get something above the unpaid level or gold cap. The trickiest part is remembering to disable and enable XP...
  14. Differences ?? MoP Remix lvl20 VS old vet lvl20

    Skyriding points are account wide, so if you've logged a high level to register those points all your vets going forward will have them. Remix characters with six vigor are a special case for F2Ps who otherwise wouldn't have that option.
  15. Sky Golem for F2P

    Item level 30, not requires level 30. You can absolutely hold onto and use Jard's Peculiar Energy Source for crafting. For that matter, the game is happy to let you use items as crafting reagents even if you can't equip/use them normally. I'm upping legion cooking on a toon now, and some of...
  16. How do I survive longer as Arcane Mage?

    What kind of content are you usually doing? Doing dungeons with a group is different from soloing dungeons, for instance. Advice for one case might not work well in another. If there's a lot of aoe around, I'm guessing it's either queuing for dungeons or the echoes event. If it's dungeons...
  17. The War Within F2P Baseline Guide

    Can you actually use warbank funds to purchase another tab? It might have changed since last time I looked, but from what I heard and saw the funds can't be used for anything except for having a character withdraw some. Since the trial gold cap is still in place, we're limited to one tab.
  18. Beware! XP unlocked. Aka free gametime 1-4 aug.

    Whole bar down 0/(however much you need to ding the next level). Which would presumably include banked XP, but I've never had banked XP on a character before so I can't say for sure. It also takes all your gear, everything in your bags, and the bags themselves and mails them to you. This is...
  19. Beware! XP unlocked. Aka free gametime 1-4 aug.

    I'm less than optimistic, because Vrakthis says that it basically can't be done and that might be precedent for GMs. I just shoved all my gear, everything in my bags, and the bags themselves into my bank (I'm very happy that warbanks let me move extra stuff around) now to walk away for two...
  20. A twink without PvP?

    A lot of twinks are this way less because of how we can leverage damage scaling to our benefit, and more because we like to occasionally poke our heads into Azeroth but don't feel like paying for it. (Personally speaking, when I have game time I feel obligated to make the most of the money...
