Loot Monkey

-
Last night, on a whim, I ran over to Eastern Plague Lands and tried running through Stratholme. Two purposes, play around with my Felguard and Demo spells, second get my Argent Dawn rep, so following a half-remembered forum post, I went in and started killing.

0 rep earned

2 hours later, bags laden with a dozen or so, soulbound level 50 epics!, I never found the book I was looking for. Half expecting to find a glowy, twinkly book sitting on the ground by the second-to-last boss. All in all, I never got a point of rep. A few things I forgot:

  1. There are prequests. The quests are well detailed in this comment. I plan to try again later this week. Doing these quests would have gotten me to Revered. Since, I am already there, so I was hoping to skip them.
  2. My Argent Dawn commission. It was in my bank. Oddly, looking at the commission entry on Wowhead, this has been removed from the game.  Supposedly if you had done the prequests, you should be able to pick up a replacement. If you're new to the zone, you may never see this trinket.
  3. Next time, I'll empty my bags. Each boss dropped 2-3 blue items. 13 possible bosses. On top, there are a number of pickup items (got a journeyman backpack and a BOE pattern) plus quest pickups, cloth and random trash.  I ended up not picking up everything, and had to do a ton of bag management to finish. No, I couldn't mount my wooly mammoth to repair or sell.

The dungeon is very easy at level 85. I ran around with my AOE spamming, killing everything. I had to do this to avoid having Thasak killing everything before me. I changed my style, because I think he may have actually killed one of the quest targets. Now, if I could only get a loot monkey. Hmm...

Blizzard! I need a pet monkey to loot corpses for me!!

Toss me that loot, monkey!

    I got my full Argent Dawn rep a long time ago on my hunter and paladin (won't bother with the others) but this dungeon is easy even at 60 now that they've lowered its level.

    As a 80-clothy, it was a bit of a crowd control issue. If I accidentally pulled two groups, I could easily be overwhelmed on that dungeon. Even with my blueberry, he'd only hold aggro for a short time. Now, maybe that was because I was in low-level blues at the time, but...

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
