AV (bg) xp ! woot ! 500k xp/hour !

[shaeman]

Well I've gone from 71 to 77 on 3 of my shaman in super quick time.
I dinged 3 times on saturday alone - but was playing all day.

Thing is i'm enjoying the hell out of it, and each level brings more fun.

Had to laugh when one moron in BG chat was telling us all to go level, that levelling is quicker, outside of a battleground.
Never ceases to amaze me that people will argue against those with actual practical experience.

One big problem - I have no supporting 80's. So money has been an issue. i had to start training only certain abilities for a while and it's looking like I will only have a flying mount on one of my 80s. However I found something to help with that.

I got to 40k honour on my guys quite quickly and as I had quite a few levels I figured I would hit the level cap too soon, so I used the honour to buy Cardinal Rubys from the Jewelcrafting vendor in the hall of legends.

On alliance side these go for about 150 gold each. On horde on my server they go for about 120. I'd list only a couple at a time, making sure they were lower than any others. 16 of those x 120 was a nice chunk of cash.

I'm now back up to 71k honour on all my guys, but I figure I'll buy two pieces of deadly (the shoulders and gloves) tomorrow ready for me to step in to at 80. It shouldn't take too long to get a third piece either.

I've pretty much only quested in the borean tundra and a chunk of sholazaar, so I'll have to go do questing in all the other areas I skipped to get enough gold for flappers on all, so I can unlock dailies.

Oh - and I meant to say if you have a jewelcraft you could cut the cardinal rubies and make even more money.
(just wish I had a jewelcrafter).

Wait until next week to buy the regular honor gear as it will change with the change of season ? (at least I expect it to be upgraded to 213 or something next level - no ?)

[Jooch]

I don't know about anyone else but my AV experience was terrible this weekend. 4/5 of my games were the 45min + games and we lost 3 of those. The one 10min game we won so that was nice. I'll have to try next weekend, hopefully it'll be better

The message is garbage. It's said 0 minutes till arena season 7 for the last few hours. I'm pretty sure it begins After maintenance.

Im praying this is still true as soon as servers come back up, it will suck if they nerfed the 71-80 bracket of AV.

[Never Ending Pew Pew]

just hit 80 friday night, did 71-80 in av in 3 days!!! its really insane. In regards to saving the honor for season 7. there is no point. They announce that with the coming of season 7 all gear costs will stay the same. as far as I read you will Not be able to purchase deadly for just Honor.... (then again I could have totally miss understand the blue post lol /doh)

[Multibocks]

Anyone check AV xp in 71-80 bracket yet? I dont have a character at that level (below 80 I mean).

[shaeman]

I'll check the 71-80 bracket out tonight again. Hopefully not too big a nerf to XP gain if it has been nerfed.

I thought that deadly would be available for honour now - and that the cost for items hadn't changed.
e.g Last seasons gloves and shoulders were 31600 honour, this seasons gloves and shoulders (deadly) would be the same.... please oh please oh please let this be true.

[Moorea]

I can confirm that honor and arena gear has been upgraded to 213 (head/shoulder/...) and 226 (for boots, ring, trinkets...)

I should have save some more honor as somehow I thought the boots would stay 213 and I spent 49k honor this past weekend on a pair... oh well...
