Shadowlands F2P Baseline Guide

Just a quick heads up, don't waste any resources on https://www.wowhead.com/item=122272/follower-ability-retraining-manual, it doesn't work and I dropped 1k for it......
Having a hard time obtaining all the followers to do well in the missions........
Good ol' Blizz....
When I get https://www.wowhead.com/item=118475/hearthstone-strategy-guide from missions and try to apply it, then it was message saying that action impossible to make on almost everyone except https://www.wowhead.com/follower=153/bruma-swiftstone-kala , https://www.wowhead.com/npc=82479/artificer-romuul , https://www.wowhead.com/npc=75884/rulkan , https://www.wowhead.com/follower=171/pleasure-bot-8000 , https://www.wowhead.com/follower=208/ahm and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=82489/apprentice-artificer-andren
And even on them nothing happen when you use it - https://www.wowhead.com/item=118475/hearthstone-strategy-guide remain on a bag too
 
I would really love it if there was some kind of organized effort for f2p dungeon runs for the dungeons we can't queue for. I still haven't gotten through any yet on my own.

@ScoobyGoopy You can add me if you're horde. PM me for btag

a lot of people are still grinding out Pillars of Creation questlines, so the pool of available players for socket runs is probably slim.
 
Two noobie questions from a f2p who's totally new to the artifact and socket system. note - I do have access to Chromie.

1) I have artifact weapons on my drood. Are relics only available from legion quests and dungeons?

2) The socket system. Basically, what is/is there a best gem for socketing? Or where should I be looking for gems? Specific Chromie patch? Or quest/dungeons? I see some are available from PVP vendors.

Thanks!

quests, dungeons and the rare npc drop

What is "best" comes down to personal preference, playstyle and BG roles, and is frankly beyond the scope of a "baseline" guide. But as a druid, you can amass a solid set of gems from various vendors like the apexis shard vendors, honor hold/thrallmar vendors and marks of honor vendors.
 
to get this to work requires that you mail the heirlooms from a higher level toon. Since this is a F2P guide and not a vet guide, we cannot use mailboxes and thus cannot access this gear.
You can buy the ones with marks of honor on your twink and they're ilvl 45.

grab the unique-equipped gems relevant to your class/spec listed in this section:


than look for 2/2 crafted or bought (with Marks of Honor) gems relevant to your class/spec. 2/2 can be:
primary stat/stamina
primary stat/secondary stat
stamina/secondary stat

will have a more comprehencive list of gems up soon.
 
Brilliant guide - for some reason didn't pop up in my alerts but now I've found it, it's answered many questions.

Thanks for the hard work that's gone into it.

One bit I don't follow:

D: ARTIFACTS
**DISCLAIMER**
YOU WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE LEGION'S BROKEN SHORE CAMPAIGN TO UNLOCK NEW DALARAN. (Skippable on subsequent toons)

How do I skip this please? (I've been sucked into it again on another alt. :-(( )

Idk about Horde, but for Alliance, you have an option when you talk to the NPC in SW harbor to skip the scenario and go straight to Dalaran.

That button is only available to those who have already completed it on that same account.

It let me skip it on a linked account.

Replies coming in faster than I can keep up. Thanks - but I've just made this work.

For clarity, I have already run through this on Kiwano & obviously have my Artefact Weapon etc...

I've just tried it on both Twïnkle & Sârâh who (like all the alts in my signature block) are on the same (Vet) account. (I'm even more confused about the Alliance toons - same account, but that's another story.)

There is no option to skip The Battle for Broken Shore.

HOWEVER I put lots of links in when I post stuff - OCD maybe - but as I linked to the quest I noticed the most recent comment, which I've posted the simplified correct part of:

Then accept the Battle for Broken Shore quest. Don't talk to Captain Russo! Go back to talk to Holgar Stormaxe at the gates of Orgrimmar with the quest still in your log, and he should have the dialogue for you to skip the scenario and teleport right to Dalaran.

Works perfectly. Easy when you know how - RTFI FTW!

Thanks all.
 
You can get all the buffs for the battle and then skip it too. Used to do mega damage vs. demons in your questing for an hour, but i havent noticed any substantial difference with or without the buffs since the prepatch dropped.
