39s are, if Im not mistaken, still going strong every friday night.
Most everyone else plays in vet/f2p 20s or expac capped 50s.

Hey Chops was just doing some searching on f2p on wowhead and found this guide that makes reference to you! https://www.wowhead.com/guide=8417/the-f2p-handbook This looks like it will help

oh no...
... ok, wow thats a solid guide, it is a shame it is wildly out of date. Shadowlands kinda changed *everything* for F2P.
If you find yourself interested in F2P twinking, then you could do worse than start with the pinned guides (and their various discussions) in the 20s forum. Luckily, I compiled them all in one handy spot. Happy reading!

Worth elaborating on the 39s point for OP's sake since he's talking about queues...
39s have (or at least had recently) schedule arena and sometimes BG wargames, not queues.
The only brackets that provide regular queues are ones where you can cap your character while still keeping their xp on. Which, as previously stated, is 20s and 50s.
The only place I can think about getting actual xp off pops would be like... 20s arena skirmishes? If there's enough bored vets with gametime?

Thanks man. You're a gentleman and a scholar
[doublepost=1622141586,1622139984][/doublepost]So I've created an F2P toon and already have it fairly geared from BC runs. Currently I'm wondering:
1. What's the best way to get the sockets filled with gems with no trade/ah/goldcap? Is it gems from badge of honor vendor or is there another option? Also what's the best way to get the gear enchanted? I have enchanting but it will be a while before I have the right ones.
[doublepost=1622141708][/doublepost]
One question about the level 50 bracket.. Do you need to have no SL expansion at all or just a toon that hasn't started the SL questline?

I've been checking out your awesome guides you linked but I still don't see an answer to my question about how to get the gems since we can't buy from AH. Thanks!

Either agi/crit or int/crit from marks or level outland jc for talasites or northerend jc for anything else. Thrallmar/Honor Hold has a pretty cool gem too, think its 3 crit 4 stam, nice for a piece you want to use as both say prot and retri.
Enchant it. no easy way round that.

What about mastery? The guide Chops linked mentions it's very strong at level 20. You guys using mastery?

mastery gems are not a thing on gems available at 20.

50s are xp on on a BFA account.
