- As created items stay their ilvl and those that used the Relic of the Past 1 stayed ilvl 19. Even as Relic of the Past is still possible but relatively unless in post 11-15 pre-patch due to access to higher ilvl items.
- Will Ghost Iron Dragonling be able to hold up?
- When something like Primal Storms (limited time only until 11-28) gives 'Unstable Elemental Confluence' that at lvl 20 ~ ilvl 54 - give +7 primary and does damage and a bluff mix of Critical/Mastery/Haste/Versatility every 1 minute.
- Will Ghost Iron Dragonling be able to hold up?
- F2P characters are locked out of applying many of the pre-BFA enchants/thread/leg reinforcement. Includes the "Boon of the..." if ilvl over 60 ~ which sucks for F2P as no more Legion pet charms via Zookeeper without a Order Hall Mission or a under ilvl 60 shoulder (if one has access to heirloom shoulders these are ilvl 54 so still can apply the boon)
- Still viable professions -
- Vanila Alchemy for the Alchemist Flask still viable
- Honorable mention -
- BFA Alchemy with relic of the Past Siren's Alchemist Stone is ilvl 19 but when equipped:
- Provides +3 Versatility
- Equip: Increases the effect that healing and mana potions have on the wearer by 40%
- Equip: When you heal or deal damage you have a chance to increase your Strength, Agility, or Intellect by for 15 sec.
- Northend Alchemy for the Endless potion(s)
- BFA Alchemy with relic of the Past Siren's Alchemist Stone is ilvl 19 but when equipped:
- Honorable mention -
- Cataclysm/Northend/Mists Engineering for the cloak and belt tinks ~ and Ghost Iron Dragonling socketed
- Tailoring - Legion - easy for the 24 slot bags; other xpacs (pre-Shadowlands) nets and bandages.
- (See update on Shadowlands may be where the F2P can re-cover some ground)
- Vanila Alchemy for the Alchemist Flask still viable
- Current timeline stayed BFA but all the main BFA dungeons are queueable via Dungeon Finder. Helps F2P complete some of the professional quests - still not seeing much value with the professions besides enchanting, tailoring and alchemy for the transmutes/and Siren's Alchemist Stone
- Nice to see that with Mark of honor the higher ilvl gems now give +2/+2 to F2P 20 when socketed
- Don't bother with the 'welfare' Shado Pan ilvl 28 gear now requires level 21.
- Dungeon drops between Vanilla to BFA are overall better especially if epic - Epic ilvl 87, Blue ilvl 61
- Caveat some BFA and Shadowlands boss drops are not for one's specialization - I was getting cloth/intellect/leather/mail item instead of no drop as well as sometimes the plate or spec drop on my DK.
- Do not replace your gear before logging off/on - some drops from Shadowlands were ilvl 100-139 then became ilvl 39-47 when logged back on. It seems that there is real time ilvl going on because items in void storage are ? marked unless fully loaded into realm and I have seen picking up a item change ilvl as it goes into inventory after a bit.
- Not sure about the profession tool slot -
- I was using a fishing pole and it disappeared and it was in the fishing profession journal slot.
- Tested - Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole going into the profession tool slot still provides the underwater breathing.
- Also the Gnomish Army Knife doesn't seem to go into the profession tool slot - maybe because it still has the resurrection use ability.
- I was using a fishing pole and it disappeared and it was in the fishing profession journal slot.
- Shadowlands Professions are available to F2P if at least level 10 to learn.
- Tailoring has 30/32 Slot bags with lower grind per se
- Enchanting has interesting enchants to test
- Engineering has the
- Wormhole Generator: Shadowlands that currently only requires Shadowlands Engineering (1) but needs Honored with The Undying Army to purchase the schematic [not sure yet if reputation/convents are open to a F2P?]
- Vet/Linked accounts may already have this toy unlocked with their Alts
- Googles with Relic of the Past (note relic does not scale to match other items that have changed with scaling) so locks the crafted item to ilvl 19 on F2P
- Wormhole Generator: Shadowlands that currently only requires Shadowlands Engineering (1) but needs Honored with The Undying Army to purchase the schematic [not sure yet if reputation/convents are open to a F2P?]
