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

[Fizzler]

that post was in response to AV in the 51-60 bracket, where XP does suck ... the 71-80 bracket grants significantly more XP.

Blue post here talks about XP changes in AV (see player vs player heading) : http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?%3Btpstart=10

BAH I did not see that response about 71+ That might not be good at all.

Blizzard just can not make up their mind they want us to get to 80 faster (RAF, account items) but yet they are thinking about doing something to fix 71+. I am hoping they mean fix the AFK'ers and not the experience. I will be optimistic and hope they are doing something to fix AFK'ers now that would be a very positive thing.

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 ?)

[shaeman]

The arena vendors were saying that the new season changes on Tuesday, today they said the new season had started, but the vendors have all the old stuff.

I'm on an Eu server so I suspect they've not quite got the message right.

I will of course wait till the deadly stuff is able to be bought with straight honour.

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
