Discord: http://discord.worldofwarcast.com Twitch: http://twitch.tv/starmiketv Mount Up Add-on: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/mount-up Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/starmike Ren Rewrote guides for Classic AV and WSG Running KRs with WNNs - shoutouts to Cryler, Zignea, Webbley, Drexl, Hidebound, Loosechanj, Zeryl, and our visitor JP Have leveled up 5 more toons to 120 - Alliance warrior and mage; Horde mage, priest, and demon hunter. Horde nightborne monk is now 103; starting work on Zandalari shaman. Started a lightforged Draenei priest - level 26. Yes, Alliance. In war mode. Guested on PEOPLE OF AZEROTH Considering buying a new computer Mike Moved to Atiesh Pagle started falling apart Now in JunoEclipse’s guild That means I had to start my Lock and Priest all over again. Eh, that’s ok How to level up skinning and cooking so easily in Elwynn Why? Because when you get to Westfall you get level 80 recipes Playing a rogue is SO SLOW Exalted with Wavecrest Now I have to work on the turtles This Week in WoW Ongoing: WoW Anniversary Event, Feast of Winter Veil Winter Veil sleigh rides Globe yeti spawn rates significantly increased (1 minute instead of 30 minutes) Greatfather Pepe costume is a no-show Tuesday: World Quest Bonus Event News Classic Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley went live Paid character transfers Classic Winter Veil Retail Korrak’s Revenge - going until 7 January Learned about Korrak’s Revenge, and how Christy got us hooked Favorite stories from KRs - Christmas sweaters, Ren’s language issues, taking Zig through her first BG and then her owning them, Webbley’s laugh, the collective obsession with Stormpike Bowmen, Drexl’s bumming rides, and how Cryler single-handedly sabotaged an entire BG Why you never click anything in tunnels - or, how much fun is it to kick naughty mages XP and Korrak’s Revenge Can go in as low as level 10 when the Group Finder becomes available; have seen a level 12 in there Amount of XP you get increases as you go up in levels. Levels in some ways are depending on activities, but this is what I got for typical runs. In some ways, it depends on your effectiveness. At level 25, I got about 28% of a level for a win (1.07 % for a win) Level 40: 50% of a level for a win (1.2% per level) Level 50: 95% of a level for a win (1.9%) Level 62: 125% of a level for a win (2%) Level 103: nearly 2 levels for a win (2%) Lesson: doesn’t really make sense to go in until at least level 50. No epic speed land mount until 40; can’t get quests til level 60 Korrak: DO NOT KILL HIM THERE. Go to Zul’drak. 8.3 launch date announced: January 14
