    Yeah, it sucks they aren't fun. Hopefully they'll spice them up. I guess I should at least try them to see how much I hate them
    Luckily I have 6 level 120s so I can make 2 full 3 mans.

    Gotcha, I guess each azerite node is only one tap too so that might be annoying.

    Hello everyone this is my first post on the forums here. I have been multiboxing islands a lot in the past couple weeks and I am legitimately shocked at other people’s feelings towards multiboxing islands. Before I had attempted my first island I was firmly against the idea of farming artifact power and still am. I have been running them on a team of balance druids which are in my opinion one of if not the best class to spam islands on for rewards. They have the ability to stealth past everything as well as the hugest advantage of any multi boxing team in the game, they can attack mobs regardless of the direction they are facing (moonfire, Sunfire) making them by far the best class for mass kiting. Also removes the disadvantage of world pvp follow breaking because you don’t have to worry about adjusting your team to continue attacking the enemy.

    I personally have been running with my “master” and two of the slaves at a time. Rotating the two slaves out in order to complete the weekly on all toons. My team is currently all sitting at 845-850 ilvl and all necks are lvl 22. i only run normals avoiding literally everything I can except rare mobs. I don’t mine anything or open any “unnamed” chests. I only kill rare named mobs and open specially named chests as they are the only things that offer rewards. The drop rates have been increased and I have managed to get up to 4 rare items on a character in a single normal island. The drop rates of items doesn’t increase per difficulty so spamming normals is the most efficient. In the past two weeks I’ve made over 500k selling the transmog/pets on the AH. On my server not many have the items posted and for the most part it seems people hate doing island expeditions anyways giving me even more of a niche.

    Island expeditions has become my primary way of making gold and it also has the added benefit of being the best way to farm artifact power. I also find them really fun from a time trial sense. Trying to beat my old time and figure out the most efficient routes to move across the islands. It’s also given me a whole new reason to farm specific Azeroth traits just for island expeditions. I’d highly recommend people spend an hour or two just running normal islands killing ONLY rares and see the results. if I didn’t multibox id hate islands I’m sure with how low the drop rates are, as a boxer, I love them.

    pss I’m running three teams atm HUNTERS - DRUIDS - ELE SHAMAN

    Druids are by far my favorite with their current traits.

    I didnt know the pets were boe.. i bet i have clicked on many of them. I use my 3 prots and just mass slay as many as I can gather. When you says rares, you mean mobs that show as skulls on the map?

    Not all of the island expedition pets are cageable, about half are. By rares I mean anything with a silver dragon. Something I have found odd is that not all mobs with silver skulls show up on the map. Some do others just, don’t. I believe this is to force the player into exploring every inch of the island (which I enjoy). You really have to look for them. If you go by your minimap you will miss a third of the rares that are on the island. Last thing I forgot to mention is that I also complete any quests I come across as those also have a chance to reward items at the end of the scenario.

    The way to play is not to rush to the cap. It’s to literally fit as many rare mob kills/rare chests/ quests in before either you or the enemy win. You get rewards for winning or losing it doesn’t matter, the only difference is a small amount of artifact power. The only reason to engage the enemy is to prevent them from killing a rare mob NOT to prevent them from “winning”. My primary goal is the rewards.

    Its been so long since i caged and sold a pet, I forgot about it! I have 5 or 6 so far. I'll have to look at the AH and see which ones sell best.
