Best way to prep fresh 70s for the expansion?

[heyaz]

So only 9 days to go till the expansion - it came quicker than I thought. I just blasted 1-69 in a few weeks, while still working. Plan to hit 70 tomorrow night.

Had all these grand plans - grind out my seaosn 2 mace, hit kharazan and za with another boxer, grind some heroics... But is this really even worth it considering I'll only have 7 days? I won't even have my normal flyers for a few days at least.

My goal is to go right into the new content and continue to do instances as I have been from 61-70. I know the gear will become obsolete really quick so I don't wanna waste the few days I have.

I'm sure there are a lot of other boxers in this same situation with all the fresh 70 RAF teams tee'd up.

What's your plan for the next week?

Do you stop getting rested xp when you hit 70? If this is the case it might be smart to just park the toons in a city/inn for 9 days and try to acrue as much rested xp as possible. It is either do this or farm gold by doing dailies.`

[Aradar]

If your into the achievements at all and know you will probably back track in the future to complete some of them, might as well do it now. Otherwise, grind dailies for money.

Personally, I'd probably go the money route.

You do not accrue rest if you are at the current maximum level.

Actually Blizz posted that as of 3.0.2 (last big patch) rested began to accrue for players at maximum level.
So ideally, you'd like all 70's to have one-week total time in an inn, for their 1.5 levels of rested.

It was in the 3.0.2 patch notes.





If you're fresh to 70, questing will probably be your best bet for gold. Dailies are good too; anything where you do something once, and are rewarded once per toon.
The other option will be Battlegrounds, trying to attain 75k honor and 100 marks from each, just for a slight head start on PvP gear at 80th.

kill a bit of scourge for the easiest and fastest 4-piece epic set.

Go have some fun!!

[heyaz]

Yeah I'll definitely be doing dailies on my 9 toons for the gold. But that's only about 60-80 minutes a day. Rest of the time.. not sure.

As far as stockpiling honor, I swear I Just read a blue post from about a month ago saying honor was being reset entirely so 80s wouldn't get a head start on gear. Is that still the case>

ded once per toon.

I'm pretty sure that honor and marks will be reset to zero - see link:
