A week into expansion, what you up to??

[pinotnoir]

My main team is 84 and I have not leveled any professions or gathered any resource with herbalism or mining. I would like to level up a few of my professions and try to make some cash after I hit 85. Looks like I would have to purchase all the mats off the AH. I bet thats going to be expensive.

Theres a quest in deepholme near the end that allows you to pull close to 20k exp a min. Don't be stupid and complete it like I did.

Ugh is it where you go into the center temple (phased version) to those doors to fight off the mobs trying to invade... you gotta kill 10 of x and 1 of y, and the NPC's are there helping?? It's probably 2nd or 3rd last quest of the zone.

I wondered about that?

I've been lvling up my main team, wasted a ton of hours doing Stonecore. Wow that first boss is tricky. I wouldn't say he's harder then Devourer of Souls or Ick/Krick, but I've had a harder time with him. Gave up on the last boss, will go back and try her again when I'm 84.

I've only done 2 instances so far and they are definitely harder then any of the BC/WoTLK's on normal, which is scary.

Yep yep yep.

Have the main team most of the way through 82nd, but haven't played them for a few days. Did every quest in Hyjal and have done everything I've found so far in Vash'jr.

The mats for professions dropped in prices significantly, so did alchemy to 525 on this team; still cost me 28,800gp. First day of transmutes, the mats for 5 transmutes cost just under 4k, and I got lucky with 10 Truegold between the five toons. Have sold those for a tad under 16k. So alchemy costs have been 33k and profits are 16k so far. Not enough Volatile Air on the AH today, to do 5x transmutes yet.



Have been playing the DK's a little, they're midway through 77th. Decided to get them epic flyers (280%) and Azeroth Flying; have not bought the 310% flying on them yet.

Also messing around with which toon I'd like on which team. Going to mix it up a lot for this expansion.

Pretty sure it will be:
- 5x Feral Druid (Alliance PvP)
- 4x Shaman (Alliance PvP)
- 1x Holy Pally, 4x Frost Dk (Horde PvP)
- 1x Disc Priest, 4x Affliction Warlock (Horde PvP)
- 1x Blood DK, 1x Disc/Shadow Priest, 1x Elem/Resto Shaman, 1x Demo Warlock, 1x Arcane Mage (PvE Heroics)
- And two more teams, purely for tradeskills.
- Still tempted to level another team, most likely 5x Shockadins.



Also got distracted there by Firefly again. Had not seen it in a while, so watched the first disc the other night.

So here is a question, has anyone with a team at 85 checked/estimated the time it took them?
From what I have seen in other posts it seems most people with lvl 85 teams did it via questing? And also seemed like they did the two starting zones?
I have been doing the linear questing and so did Hyjal and not Vash, currently just started Uldum which I am not too happy with (have a quest at present trying to get 4 of an item with a low mob count in the area and also around 30% drop rate)
Ualaa: did it take that much gold to level your alchemists from 450 - 525? Or was it from 0 - 525? Does it seem like it will make money now that you are leveled and ready to trade on the AH?

Wear your heirlooms @ lvl 80 to make 80-81 faster.
Grind lvl 81 maybe up to 82 if you can stand it in BRC normal.
Hyjal Quest here till 83
Deepholm Quest till 84 -- Throw in a stonecore run or 2 to switch it up.
Twilight Highlands Quest till 85 -- Love this place. You can always mix in some Lost City, Vortex Pinnacle, HOO, Grim Batol (I did) on the grind to 85.

What's the name of this thing? Or at least, what should I be on the lookout for so that I don't accidentally complete it...

Heirlooms did not work for me when I tried them at Cataclysm launch, I tried having them on and then taking them off and XP was the same, has this changed or is there a bug with the Heirlooms?
