So my 2nd, in order of creation, first in level, team finally made it to 80 (yay!) - but now what ? I promptly created a 5v5 and proceeded to loose 10 matches without being able to even kill a single toon from any of the opposite teams... not too good for morale... then I did WG but lag was so bad I didn't do anything... My gear is blues from quest and blue crafted so I'm not sure what can I do now...
dailies, pve, ummm yup thats all.
or
quit and wait for aion to come out.... or hangout with friends that aren't on the interwebz
That's just plain silly :PQuote:

First things first would be to get some gear to be able to run heroics. Three basic choices...
Run normal 80 dungeons
Farm Gold in w/e fashion you like to buy craftable epics
PvP
or of course all three.
Keep in mind that you just barely hit 80 while everyone else has been 80 for like 5 months so yea you're going to get roflstomped in the beginning in PvP and no you're not going to walk straight into a Heroic and just demolish everything. You still have to gear yourself up to progress. Fortunately as a multiboxer however you never have to wait on a group to form for a dungeon and you can come and go and take as long as you want, whenever you want :D
1. Run Wintergrasp every time it's up and you're online. Forget about the lag. Just get in the raid, do the 4 quests (including the collection one after the game) every week. This is the best and easiest way to gear up your characters for pvp, and even some good pve stuff. Bring ALL of your toons, even your tank or whatever. I made the mistake of running just my shaman in WG for 4 months. Now I want my pally in ret gear - she would've been in full hateful/deadly with all the wg trinkets by now, with plenty to spare. But I gotta start from scratchQuote:

2. Keep running your 5v5, just /dance if you want, get your 344 points a week, buy a piece of hateful gear every Tuesday. You'll have over 12k honor just from running Wintergrasp once so it won't be a problem.
3. Start doing your dallies every day
4. Buy your epic mounts before anything else. No crafted gear, no gems, no enchants, none of that crap. I learned this the hard way... spent at least 20k first few weeks after hitting 80 to get titansteel guardians and tons of crafted junk. Then I continued to spend every penny on gems, enchants, whatever. 5 months later, I finally have epic flyers, after lots of painful icecrown dallies on fat kid flyers
Awesome post and very helpful. Nice to pass on some of your "learned the hard way" thoughts so we can avoid similar pain! :thumbsup:Quote:

Thanks for the replies; I will try to get all my toons in the main WG raids; I've done my own group a few times but didn't get far that way - I did have fun with doing the achievement for the war bear - I tried to do regular HOL, beat the first boss but got wiped a few times on the trash after (just crossing those elemental guys, then getting thrown back into them by the next group so I gave up (as each wipe you need to cross the elementals respawns again... I need to stock up on Anks next time...)
For doing dailies; I don't have that many opened up and the ones I do have are opposite sides (ie shadow vault on the NW and grizzly hills pvp on SW) - I have maybe 10 or so so I guess I need to research how to open up more (and not collection types one) - I can see that an epic flyer on each toon would be nice but that's about 20k g away (post training of 80 I have barely 1kg/toon) - but that's a goal :-)
As far as dailies go, this is highly recommended for alliance.
Multibox Daily Quest Guide
Farm your dailies and at least be in WG when the battle ends to get your mark. Lag or no just be there. I end up running with my own 5 man group (shammies) because its just easier to keep track of them on the mini map as well (I really don't look at their screens unless I have too).
Run the dailes on all your level 80 capable toon and get tons of cash. I have two teams at 80 (Both shammies but horde and alliance and I do double Icecrown farming and just transfer the money over to Alliance cause my horde toons already have all Epic flyers etc.
