So many great changes and tips. I was so hyped for wrath but unfortunately for me IRL has kept me away from azeroth. I haven't played since launch day. Looking forward to my schedule freeing up at the end of the month, I'm definitely be doing loremaster for those sweet sweet badges.

[@Petter1900]

@ 3:28 you list your total Badges of Justice (The Burning Crusade ones). You're looking for Emblem of Heroism in this case.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

This was very helpful, thanks so much for making this and uploading it

[@Sideshow323]

I started Storm Peaks as soon as I hit 77 to start on the Sons of Hodir quest line. When I noticed that the quests were giving badges I stayed there and skipped all of ZD and SB. I did all the quests in SP and got about 40% of the way through Icecrown when I hit 80. I had 65 badges, enough to get my BIS trinket and PreBis neck. It was insane. I did 2 days of heroic world tours and finished up all of Icecrown the next days after, ended up with both tier pieces.

[@un_known5895]

@@MrPorkyy it could be that i looked at the "from all sources" option and neglected to look at the faction quests =) ::edit:: after looking further it is indeed the case, in fact alliance gives more emblems than being horde Icecrown horde = 7, alliance = 19, storm peaks horde = 3, alliance = 15)

[@smurfberrieseso1158]

You can still do them even tho I’m already 80 yeah ? Cause I did a lot of dungeon grinding lol

[@addrenry784]

to correct the mistake at 4:00 onwards regarding the icecrown questlines. the ebon blade quest line is acquirable from that quest by taking the prequest at krasus landing instead (the npc who gives it will also be able to fly you there directly). the argent crusade prequests are simply not required for the ebon blade ones (and vice versa). this can be useful for gathering alts that want to be in a particular phasing by not completing prequests in certain places (SoH/argent crusade being prime examples) so that they can herb/mine those areas specifically, as once the quests are complete they stop spawning either types of node in those areas. also if you have cold winter flying but you dont have an epic flying mount and havent bought a regular flying mount either for some reason, u can also borrow one for free from an npc at K3 right next to the flying trainer there. dunno if this would actually help anyone, but it might, who knows.

[@MidgardGamesTV]

Yeah storm peaks and ice crown is super important. Too often do I see 78 and 79s questing in zul drak and grizzly hills but it’s important to unlock end game content in SP and IC. I go to storm peaks immediately at 77 to unlock sons of hodir and do the thorim quest line. That usually takes me to 78 at which point I’ll start the argent crusade in icecrown. Then at 79 I’ll start shadow vault and some odds and ends around northrend so that when I hit 80 everything is unlocked and I’m friendly with all factions to get tabards.

[@highsty9898]

I did the same lvling my first char, but i think it smart not to quest or do quest really few quests on Strom peaks and ice crown as they reward much more gold at mac lvl.

[@jamesbaggett3655]

I take it a step further and use the agi leather looms for plate classes

[@charlesc8291]

You can also buy bind to account honor tokens which give 2k honor per 30 Wintergrasp Shards. Sending that to an undergeared alts is a passive way to get them brutal gear for them to level with.

So happy I got Jeeves to drop while levelling

[@MattSinz]

So there are enough badges to pick up from questing alone to get your Naxx 2 piece, nice.

[@johanlahti84]

I did one winter grasp, and it was completely lag free. Gave 9k honor and we won after 7 minutes

[@jessemiller5583]

just, a little tip here... you can't make Jeeves anyways until TOC is out in P3 and the schematic actually vendors for 12g and will continue to drop, rather than learning something you can't make for 6 months or so... I would vendor it and learn it closer to that date. you're probably make a few thousand gold by then if you run Heroic HOS/HOLS/Oculus fairly often as you will probably get one almost every 2 runs.

[@brandonkruse6412]

I would still recommend wearing all mail pieces if possible for Hunter as they get Int converted to Attack Power.

[@RUSH377]

I did 78-79 in Storm peaks. Hodir attunement will get you far to 79. Then went 79-80 in ice crown. By the time I hit 80 I got my trinket and off hand.

[@stue2485]

I got the jeeves recipe from mechanical mobs in borean tundra, didnt expect it to drop from low level mobs

[@Chicken-x6q6d]

It is also worth noting that if you use the group finder as a tank or healer when levelling, you always get northrend adventuring supplies at the end of the run. More gold again. What you say is very true about those greens as they start at level 68 upwards, I had a level 68 enhancement shammy from TBC and I changed her to elemental with a full elemental set of greens from the auction house for less than 200g. At 70 there are also two green trinkets you can by off the auction house which have a nice bonus to stamina and hit which aren't unique equipped so you can stack them, a nice bonus. Also, that ghost child in Icecrown, have you noticed what his name is an anagram of?

[@KeRowKi]

thanks for the vid, please keep up the good work

[@imnategray]

3:34 you're showing Badges of Justice stats here - they're the TBC badges.

[@cixidelmont1008]

Thanks for mentioning the Attune addon :-)

[@thebluelunarmonkey]

9:50 also, heirloom armor downgrades one step, so if the alt is a level 10 warrior, give them the plate shoulders/chest as it will downgrade to mail while the character is below level 40. Heirloom bonus caps at 20% so the ring doesn't make bonus xp 25 if you have chest and shoudlers.

[@felixblauensteiner3503]

but why you should invest your time to farm the ring then?

[@cattysplat]

Saw someone with fully enchanted heirlooms on their level 15, with 1k hp, 2k mana and almost 100 in all stats really turn the tough low level experience of white gear into a faceroll struggle free snooze like retail. Yet people are still moaning about losing the 50% xp buff, despite classic and TBC going 30% faster by default now. Enjoy the game people, the faster you rush, the faster you stop playing.

[@dan-k-doge1960]

still they could've implement something like "if you have 2 max lvl chars you have 10%+, with 3, 25%, and with 4, 50%" and its the max, to encourage people to level normally and what not, i haven't seen any ads or anything yet, but im pretty sure people will still be keen on dungeon boosting one way or another. You can change the game but not the player, but at least putting stuff to encourage ACTUAL player actions, im all down for it (because staying afk in a corner tossing gold to someone is not playing by any means you want to put it). I'd had my char tab full instead of the 3 guys i use and one of them is a bank!

[@BapeRuLLZ]

I think the xp buff for outland zones was too fast, but for vanilla zones it was perfect. With how scattered the quests are, the buff made the flow of zones much better.

[@blighticus]

Nobody cares. Vanilla levelling during Wrath (or levelling in general) is not the content people want to do. People want to do end-game. Anything that takes away from that is a waste of time, not something to be enjoyed. It's always super disingenuous to have people say "Go enjoy the content that you hate for longer"

[@thebluelunarmonkey]

back in classic 60 and tbc, I'd level alts to 40 using the non-level restricted enchants like spell power to a level 1 weapon that i could freely mail to another alt when the higher level alt grew out of it around level 40. Same with having cloth common grade boots wiht minor speed. 2 feral druids used a skinning knife with the mighty agi enchant since weapon damage was meaning less in classic60/tbc

[@McPallly]

Cool badges of justice count but... aren't you talking about Emblems of Heroism..?

I've been sick and unable to play since pre-patch, all 3 of 70s from BC are still level 70 (warrior, paladin, shaman). How fucked am I in terms of trying to catch up and get into arenas? TBC was EXTREMELY unforgiving if you fell behind, I know wrath makes catching up easier, I'd imagine I'm already screwed for season 1 and possibly 2.

[@javalinmayland6306]

Wintergrasp is bugged for Oceanic Alliance so we haven't been getting Stone Keeper Shards or the Wintergrasp Buff. I wanna level my alts but this game breaking bug still isn't fixed. I've only been able to get shards from doing the daily quests (30 a day max) even if I get enough for an item theres no vendors to talk to.
