They May Have Actually Delivered Fun

CataElk going Alliance? NOT!
One item the devs hinted to in Cataclysm was to add some 'fun'. Fun to me, can be harmless randomness. The Underbelly Elixir in Cataclysm was fun. You would randomly turn into a wasp and could fly around the sewers, or a, um, walrus dude and have a +10% fishing buff!! :)

I found fun in Cataclysm, and Alchemist, it's OURS! I would like to introduce the Potion of Illusion. This 470 level alchemy potion transforms you for 2 minutes randomly into a different form. For example, CataElk the Worgen?! Unfortunately it's not a true transformation (like that in the Battered Hilt quest), you still can't get into Alliance territory, i.e. Silver Conclave.

As I leveled to 83, I've been picking Cinderbloom. With each pick, you have a chance to get other items, like Volatile Life (think Mote of Life). Ashara's Veil, I can't remember if it came from herbs in Hyjal or was a side pick, like Swiftthistle, that always had a bunch and nothing to do with it.Once you've reached here, it was REALLY easy to get from 450 to 470 alchemy; I did 5 draught of war, and 5 ghost elixir (15 cinderbloom and 10 crystal vial). At that point you can train the Potion of Illusion.

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 developm

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
