40s in shadowlands(US)

Can't really think of anything else I need to do

At that level, are socket legs from chromie-TBC going to be better than the ilvl 50 legion ones?

They do scale up to 40 still, dont they? Using chromie time? So like ilvl 45-46? I'm out of the loop above like 29... ;)

edit- speaking of your legs, and maybe gloves? Not saying you're wrong just curious.

what is the max from SoO now ? i look at some of my toons, the SoO are ilvl47.
 
Well they just nerfed Azurite gear for 40s. It now requires 45 to equip. FML. Only the first piece you get when you get the HoA is useable at 40. ...and end zone Legion gear now scales down to ilvl 47 for 40s. F#$@ing Blizz, its all about end game to them.

No problem this just made my decision to level to 45 easier ))
[doublepost=1605641869,1605640759][/doublepost]you can get up to item lvel 60 gear and 53+ from Anthorus :)

Here is my 45, have done many Mythic Antorus runs, no level 53 gear. Only one 51 trinket.

All stat squished gear is lower item level than the gear that drops there now if that makes sense

For example every anthorus item is level 51 but if you run it you'll get item level 53 or higher.

i bet if you check AH you'll find many item level 60 pieces with sockets which is so strong
 
Well, as Porky Pig would say, "That's all folks!"

Azerite gear requiring 45 kills any remaining motivation I had left for ol' Arewurd as far as twinking is concerned. 45 feels pointless, might as well just cap him at that point.

Oh well, It's probably for the best. Shadowlands comes out in a week and I will be focused on my max characters for a while.

I think I will retire him on a remote tropical island to live out the remainder of his days fishing in peace. After mercilessly dominating hundreds of islands, it seems fitting.

Later fellas!
 
So, is nobody else interested in twinking at 40, solely because Azerite gear is off the table now?
Realistically, it's a niche group.. Meaning to say there are very few of us left.. Not enough to cause a bg to pop.. You can make one and open it up to admire every once a while and that's about it.. I had many many of these 101s back then.. Keep it around for a long time, and in the final weeks leading up to pre patched I finally open up their xp to play.. Had a really good time.. Alternatively I can continue to keep them and admire them once a while.. But I didn't, I look at my several guild banks completely still filled with unused legion epic BOEs, which are junks now and decided, I want to play the game.. Not make fantastic twinks that can't be played.. it's your choice lololol.. If you look at other's armory.. You see some fantastic twinks that has 200,000 hks while many has only 2000 hks..This game is about fun, do something that gives you that enjoyment.. In the first place, after all things settle down, I look at lvl 40, 44, 45 .. They are not hard to gear.. In fact it's really easy, meaning you can gear one up anytime you want.. Run with a group of classes in SoO and you can exchange loot.. One week, 2 or 3 weeks you should be able to get all you need.. While waiting to form up your toon, I am sure you have toons in other brackets you need to gear too right? I have a rough idea how I will play my bgs, twinking, but with the xp on, from lvl10 onwards lots of dungeon grinds for anything with sockets, the remaining slots can ALL be filled up using crafted from professions, mostly with sockets again.. Gem them up, enchant and send him out into bg.. I forget to mention, I run my own dungeons so it might be easier for me to finish gearing several toons at the same time quickly.. The challenging part is, you need lots of gold and have access to large amount of mats and it will make your life easy if you have a complete set of toons with all professions to make your own stuff, if you don't, get your guilds to help

Ps. In the last few weeks.. I find that each set of gears I got from dungeons, it lasted for a long time, eg. Socketed gears I get from dungeon at lvl14 last me till lvl20 without needing to redo the dungeon again.. Still feels strong in the bg itself, this will be the case for all other brackets leading up to lvl49.. If you have the same play style, each toon will become fun from lvl10 all the way till 49

I mean, i have 8 "max" level toons right now, so I'm on board with the doing other things bit. I also have an entire server of old 70 twinks, that are now level 27, and have no idea what to realistically do with them. And yeah, I didn't spend that much time and gold twinking out my level 40 monk, something like 1 SoO run, 1 HFC run, and some shopping on the AH (maybe 50k gold spent), and now I'm just doing Legion normal dungeons, and topping the charts, which is fun in and of itself. I've never done a lot of PvP, so I don't really have a vested interest in that, so yeah. No idea really what to do at this point.

Thank you both for replies to my query though.

Ill still try and do 40 because I have so many other characters if I want to create any other level I’ll just level a different character

Thought that was the only different thing about the bracket that created any draw. WTF is there so care about otherwise that you cant do elsewhere? Is it like a legion raiding thing or something? Honestly dont know what levels thing being at...

honestly, I'm not too certain either. I think it's a combination of being able to use both MoP and WoD raid gear, plus your Legion artifact, and BfA crafted items (like rings).

Seriously, I just started this level 40 thing on like, Sunday lol.
