Gear to look out for in moving from TBC to WotLK?

[Beachcomber]

This can of course pertain 19s 29s 39s 49s etc. but I'm most interested in 39s and 29s.

I'm curious about gear to be on the lookout for on the Burning Crusade Classic servers as we move to Wrath. This would include stuff that had its drop rate lowered, or grandfathered, etc. etc.

I'm also reading that LFG will be turned off for some reason, which I guess also means no satchel gear. I don't quite get this particular change.

some of the stuff like polished jazeraint are becoming actually useful since they're receiving actual™ stats™, but otherwise idt theres much gfing going on (besides leg enchants getting completely nuked from the orbit, but thats something else entirely)

Theyre doing a "LFG" thing i think where you find a group but the random dungeon finder (where you just port to a dungeon) is being removed. Which is fucking incredible.

The reasoning is that they dont want classic turning into what retail is, IE just a bunch of people standing around in a lobby/capital city waiting for their instanced content que. Also, given how noxious boosting is in classic, I imagine they dont want to give them any tools that makes it easier for them to sell boosts.

 

[Selaya]

no.
boosting via rdf wouldn't even work due to the level gap and stuff. you can't que w/ like a level 80 and a level 50 at all

In days of old you'd queue up by yourself or with people of similar level and get satchel gear appropriate to level.

Holy smokes.

I keep waffling back and forth on whether to get involved with wrath twinking, and it really sounds like Blizzard is turning Classic into an alternate timeline for WoW.

Which is ironic, because as it stands, people just stand around in Shatt spamming chat trying to make a group. They get in the group, say hi. Then have to run all the way there, wait for everyone else, and finish the run. Then they say bye.

It isn't really all that more engaging

Maybe stuff from prepatch event dungeon bosses? Depends on bracket and class.

 

[Selaya]

oh yeah right, the int/sp cloak and the sp wand from rfd, good catch

you did do a edit on your post, this was your link https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=52005/satchel-of-helpful-goods

it even shows the level requirements to get the satchels.

this is how it was in WOTLK, the LFG satchel push down to lower levers was not until CATA

No I didnt.
No it wasnt.
Why are you doubling down on being wrong?

 

[Chops]

I just so happen to be reading Powergloves 3.2 warrior guide from 3/29/2010 to brush up on my wotlk 39s knowledge and he mentions the Satchel ring as BIS.

 

[shanker]

i have wowhead bookmarked, just tested on a second page it still opens to retail, i never do anything in the classic versions. the flip to the WOTLK link is what i got when i clicked the link.

i assumed a edit was done and i was wrong on that
