A Comprehensive Guide to Level 1 Twinking in Shadowlands

@Jonnes Great job on the guide! Just started up after a few year hiatus and glad to see you keeping the Level 1 torch alive!
 
So instead of nerfing it appropriately (inline with Character Level) which would put the Blue Neck at iLvL 6 with a few Stats, nope Blizz just raped it down to iLvL 3 with ZERO Stats because FUCK YOU.

EDIT: It would seem I was mistaken based off my own Level 1's Bracers (Blue) that are iLvL 6, so I thought all were.

Posting this here for visibility. If Level 10 can get Curious Coins from Legion World Bosses then maybe 1's can. That might give us access to fun stuff from the Vendor. I can also say positively that my DPS scales to the WB at 10. Meaning, I do the same DPS to it (even though it's a Skull) that I do to normally scaled Level 10 NPC's. They HIT luck a freight train though, ~1700 or so. I just do everything possible to avoid being hit.

Epic guide, inspired me to actually put some effort into a new 1.

Big question is how do we get around continents/XPacs and where is the best place as a 1 to have HS set for exploring?

There's some heirloom maps that give you the majority of flight paths for Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, and the BFA Islands.

I like to keep my hearth set to the MoP Capital shrine, because there's an actually functional (below level 10) portal to stormwind there, and a teleport to ratchet. It only leaves Outland, Draenor and the Broken Isles requiring mage ports, as you can get to Northrend and Zandalar/Kul Tiras via boat/zeppelin.
 
Deviate fish are getting taken off the list. Not sure when this happened, but the three beneficial effects that they could give are all worthless now, while the negative effects are still bad. There is no longer a situation where you'd use it.

The entry before deletion -
https://www.wowhead.com/item=6522/deviate-fish - Gives you 1 of 6 possible effects. Two are healing effects, one a HoT and the other a direct heal. One is a versatility buff. One has no effect beyond making you dance emote, interrupting nothing. One is a shrink that defbuffs your strength and stamina. The last is a debuff that forces you asleep for half a minute. Basically, it's a last ditch desperation item for a potential heal if you otherwise are going to lose anyway.

With 9.0.5, the gear section of this guide is a little bit out of date numerically. Will fix today.
[doublepost=1615367321,1615329140][/doublepost]I've updated the guide for accuracy regarding recent 9.0.5 changes, and have also given it a bit of a facelift. It should be much easier to read now, especially the gear section.

Really digging the reformatting and extra detail you've put into the guide this week. Thanks for doing this and for all of the work and dedication.

You're welcome, glad you like the changes :D



On another note, something troubling is going on with Pit Fighter.

I was trying to help my buddy get a pit fighter on his 1, but he couldn't see the chest. I tried first with a character in the main timeline and again with a character in timewalking that he party synced to.

My perspective

Pit fighters were attainable as recently as yesterday. Darkmoon event ends in 3 hours, I don't know if there's a spawn at midnight as it closes but hopefully we get some answers on this without having to wait a month.

I had something similar happen to me 2 days ago. Despite the chest clearly being present for one toon, it wasn't visible to my 1. My 1 wasn't inside when the chest was initially looted, so I'm not sure if that made a difference because later that same day at a different time I was able to see/loot the chest on that same 1, this time having been inside the arena. I doubt that was your circumstance, but there is some hidden condition that exists to make it visible that we need to figure out... or it's just a random-ass bug.

That gives me a bit of hope that it was a one off situation. If anyone wants to post them looting a chest tonight or next month please do so
 
awesome guide been learning a lot just reading through it
I've got a question about gearing my rogue
so glorious stats enchant won't work on any new piece of gear which is a shame
but if I use a Stained Shadowcraft Tunic heirloom that was enchanted before SL I still get +4 stats?
I figure it's good at least until I get a decent socketed piece
but just wanted to check if this works as tooltips imply (+4agil/+4stam)
or if the heirloom has any problems with the enchant or with scaling at this level

These items have all been patched and require high levels now. Niknik's and Ookin are unaffected and still work.

I've been keeping an eye on these. Just checking in to report that they are yet another victim of fubarred tooltips. (Note the discrepancy in vendor prices between the two.)
