Could I please propose https://xpoff.com/threads/consumables-and-others.97751/ by @Mindmasterxd to be added into the guide index? Looks to be lots of useful items and info all on the same post in case anyone is looking for it in the future

Edit:
Also potentially mention this one alongside the other farming guide, since it is concise and up to date (i presume) https://xpoff.com/threads/ultimate-boe-twink-item-farming-guide-legion-bfa.97468/

And also the amazing and comprehensive one for all 20's items farming https://xpoff.com/threads/level-20-shadowlands-twink-boe-farmers-guide-compendium.97763/

New to twinking and looking for guidance

I will be using a VET account and starting with a sub to stock up on enchants, mats, bags, bank slots, etc. After sub expires I plan on being unsubbed until Dragonflight.

Question time.


Before I spend a bunch of time on this, could gear etc. change with the launch of Dragonflight? I would hate to grind a ton just to have to start over at launch. Is it smarter to just wait and play my mains for now?


How close are rogue specs DPS wise? Is it worth rolling the best spec, or can I just play what’s most fun and still be good? I’m looking to get as many kills as I can in random BG’s.


I saw on this forum that a few classes have dedicated guides. Sadly, rogue isn’t one of them. Where can I get the best current info for stat priority, BIS gear per spec, and things like that?


Could I find a good player in a set spec and just copy their gear setup? If so, who are some of the better geared rogues out there? Do I copy from the highest ilvl characters, highest honorable kills, or based on stats?


I have seen talk about grandfathered ilvl 28 gear. Is that grandfathered to the players who currently have the gear, or can vet accounts still acquire it? I know F2P accounts can’t get it.


For vets is there a certain smart order to gearing? Example: First get all bis items from dungeons, then rares, then quests, then finish with mobs for boe items.


In the same sense, is there a smart order to professions? What ones should I start with, which ones should I have together, and which ones should be my final ones that I keep?


As someone new to twinking this is all a little daunting. Im sure some of my questions are facepalm worthy and some are probably answered in a guide somewhere but there is a crap load of forums and each one has 20+ pages and a man can only read so much before being overwhelmed with all the random information. I am genuinely interested in twinking and want to make sure I’m doing this right and not wasting my time making mistakes. I appreciate any and all help you guys can give me. I look forward to joining this amazing community, and I hope to see you guys out in BG’s.

 

Major changes seem unlikely. With the exceptions of trinkets and weapons unless they do something very radical like remove sockets from TBC gear.

Rogues arent the best for dps, its more of a setup cc class.

Yes you could do that.

Those are blue world drop items. You can still buy that on the auction house but its very difficult to find.

Not really, in general id say if youre starting the toon while unsubbed, do dungeons and stuff first. If starting unsubbed Id do dungeons last so Id have greens and flask etc so Id be strong enough to solo the bosses for double legacy loot.

You only have to do that as an f2p as vet just go alch engi for bgs. If you wanna do arenas do inscription, if you want to do both, go alch engi and stack a few thousand northerend flowers and drop alch whenever you want, takes about 75 northerend flowers to level inscription to 25.

 

@Chops, I'm not sure if professions are enabled in alpha, but given that professions are getting completely revamped, do you think enchants (both profession and consumable enchants) and engineering tinkers currently available become unavailable with Dragonflight?

 

Outlaw stacked with agi/stam gems might be an easy pick for starter in df
