On my low-pop server blacksmithing gear is crazy expensive and sells well. The market is not well served and IMO they are very easy to make for the returns you can get.
One thing I'd like changed about invasions is that they'd go away once you complete them. Nothing worse than seeing some WQs with a reward you need, like a recipe, then an Invasion pops and you got to wait 6 hours before being able to actually get that recipe (if the WQ doesn't expire before the invasion timer runs out).

That would break some things, though. A few class quests ask for things from Invasions, and the Broken Shore has a quest to complete one too.
But yes, what you mention is a problem. I can't think of an elegant in-game way to do it, but maybe you should be able to opt-out of seeing them, and not get phased into it.

Do you need to do a raid for Legion flying?

Good. Not that I'm opposed to trying out a raid eventually, but it's really not my thing. Running dungeons has been pretty fun in Legion...and I usually never bother.

I don't get why they make learning to fly so involved.

Longevity. When you used to just buy it it really nullified the size and scope of the world and all potential it still had. So now especially with world quests you have to sort of pay your dues before you can take advantage of it.
Also added benefit of it being usable on alts for free means that once you do it one time, you can level up alts with it after.

But BC and WotLK were designed with flying in mind, and I put in my time doing quests in every zone, and then hitting cap to fly. Having flight absolutely did not sap my enjoyment of the zones, it enhanced it. They can say the newer expansions are more designed towards ground travel, but the mob density is way too high.
Also they sell flying mounts for $25, so fuck them.

Legion Tailoring and Enchanting served my Mage well, but it did take a while to surpass WoD Tailoring. It's easy to gather the mats by just doing WQ's. Usually hoover up 10K Silkweave every 3-5 days thanks to the Dreamweaver shoulder enchant and can pump out a decent amount of Imbued Silkweave Bags every week if I consistently play the mage. Which I haven't been lately. The craftable Leggo looks less worthwhile than more standard crafts given how saturated the market is and how involved the questing is to acquire the mats. M0's can be problematic to get into as a pure DPS even if there's an associated WQ, which was the main reason I've been trying out a couple of different classes (Warrior, Monk and Priest).
Jewel Crafting and Alchemy look worthwhile, so does going straight double gather.
It's probably a mistake but I'm going to go with engineering.
shit my bad, I already had good samaritan part 1 done and forgot that was part of it. But yeah if it works on LFR its literally no issue

How am I supposed to read this? The WQ for Vault of the Wardens lists Mythic under the item description of the reward. So this means no reward on normal/heroic, right? Just seems odd it's under the item name.

You can do it on normal or heroic.

The reward for the WQ is a piece of Mythic Gear for completing easier content.

Yeah JC and alchemy are definitely good; I was thinking just the gear-crafting profs when I said that. I have a tailor and did not have a good time selling those bags, but admittedly I didn't stick with it very long. It's just crafted gear is so useless now, it's more the temporary gimmicks that give any utility to them right now, like the legendaries, or the bracers at the beginning of the expansion. I wish the gear had more utility, or the professions more beneficial in other ways.

Everything about Antorus looks amazing so far! Not that I really want to anyway, but like, if I was thinking about taking a break from the game for a bit, I'd probably reconsider because I want to be 100% ready for 7.3 lol. This is a patch that absolutely cannot be missed.
Why the fuck would Illidan do that? Aren't they on the same side?
IIRC the implication were it was being forced upon him, and he lashes out. There's also dialgoue that implies X'era is possibly a bit of a taskmaster and authoritarian that we haven't really seen yet, which suggests conflicts within how the Naaru act, which also explains why the naaru sent us to kill Illidan in BC in the first place.

Got it. Pretty nice upgrade from what I had. Still died several times on the last boss on normal, but eh, I've never done it before, so all I knew about the mechanics was what I read in the adventure guide. My deaths involved a lot of running from the boss, and wondering why the tank was taunting her off me, or really doing anything.
continuing my leveling adventures with this resub (since everytime I get to around 875+ on characters I find I kinda stop doing WQs unless theres a 880 pvp one up or something), I've been leveling my warrior and shaman (108 and 105 respectively now( through invasions, so my current impressions:
Warrior - Visually I love Fury the most, both the art and the skills. I tried Arms for a bit but the rotation seems way too boring (and im into boring rotations lately with Ret Pali and BM hunter being up there with my faves), but as you get fuck all gear from just doing invasions, I have gravitated towards Protection lately because, well at least you cant die, and I actually quite enjoy it. One question, is it worth using revenge at all outside of the free procs? It seems like its quite expensive and I would rather save that rage for ignore pain, I dunno.
Shaman - I wanted to go elemental but I've been blowing so much gold on heirloom upgrades I ended up going enhancement because I had the agility stuff. Turns out Enhancement is actually pretty fun. Quite flash too for a melee spec. Resto seems super interesting tho, I saw a little bit of it doing the artifact quest, really liked what Is saw, maybe has a bit too much bloat, I dunno.
I'm also trying to get into my DK (my only non-geared, non-mount 110) and I think a spec finally clicked with me, Unholy. Not having gear sucks tho because its very hard to get a sense for specs when it takes you 3 hours to kill things in WQs.

With DK i choose Blood for leveling but also for tanking the synergy is fantastic, with WQ it goes very good because of the self healing.
I hate Blood, its even more boring than Arms /shrug
Self healing as unholy seems very decent even with crap gear, Death Strike heals for a ton

One of the most consistently top notch members of Blizz's staff. Fortunately, there's a good chance he still collaborates in the future, as Blizz uses external composers on the soundtrack fairly frequently and the relationship is already, plus it doesn't sound like he's leaving on bad terms.

But yeah, I hope he continues to work with them on a freelance term. His music is great.

Chatacters at 110:
Druid
Monk
Priest
Demon Hunter
Death Knight
Shaman
Warlock
This only confirms to me that the druid is the best class in the game. Healing is equally fun with all my healers while tanking and ranged dps is more fun on my druid. Melee dps is infinitely better on monk, demon hunter, and death knight. However, the feral update/redesign goes live next patch and hopefully that fixes my issues with the spec.
I have a 69 rogue that I might lvl next, or start with a fresh pallie. Suggestions?

I'd suggest rogue. I think Subtley is extremely fun, more so than my Paladin (any spec). Paladin is solid too though.
Oh, and with rogue, you can get 5k free* each week.

Absolutely loved this guy, his attitude, and the way he works (from what I've learned of it all on the BTS featurettes for each expansion). I'm glad he may continue contributing as a freelancer.
I'm curious to hear about the sound de-centralization initiative he mentions in his post.

It's weird to me that they just seem to have let him go and didn't have any new position to offer him at all in their new sound department setup? The guy pretty much IS Blizzard music.

Hi all. Thinking about re-subbing for a bit, been away for about 3 months I think. I know about the new ToS raid and the class mount questline, is there anything else of note or is that really it?
Maybe Blizzard will outsource their composing to freelancers? I must say I'm at a loss as to why they'd make their lead composer's job redundant and letting him go. Some of his work was top notch.

He probably made too much money to just be a normal audio employee. No one is going to take a salary cut like that
Seems like he is going to be doing the same work for them as freelance... but that sucks for him either way. He makes pretty good music if most of what WoW and Starcraft is his product

Get all your heirlooms maxxed for super fast leveling. With all the bonuses, it's 50% more exp.
I liked the... flavor of Subtley before 7.2.5, but the execution felt really lacking to me. After 7.2.5 my Sub rogue has become one of the characters I have the most fun running around doing the various menial tasks of WQs etc. Plus pick-pocketing has become more useful too compared to simply trying to get one coin for Marin and I have fun running around an area pick pocketing everyone before murdering them.

The demo warlock artifact challenge (Sigryn) is really busting my balls. I've tried at least 25 times now at 911 ilvl with Tomb four piece and still get destroyed.
I find myself having to choose whether to die to Valkyr or to runes and sometimes the runes have a second before they detonate which is bull. I've gotten used to handling the rotation of mechanics and interrupts but feel like I'm getting shit on by RNG and my lack of movement. I'm using demon skin instead of burning rush but maybe I just need to wait until I get Prydaz so I have the HP to soak and have burning rush. My DPS KS about 800K and I try to have 100% doom uptime but it's not easy.

He made amazing music and some of them are memory holding stuff forever. I hope him the best on his new adventures.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The datamined story stuff from 7.3 seems like it already retcons Chronicle. Which is like a year old.
Thank God Unholy is just the actual best DK spec now because Frost has been trash ever since Breath of Sindragosa took over. It's just too easy to fuck up.

Ah nice one, thanks. I had no idea I could upgrade them further.

Its not very well implemented IMO. As Alliance, I go to the exlporers area in IF and there is a vendor there that sells the upgrades. Each item within each set can be upgraded 3 times, up to lvl 110. Once you buy and apply each upgrade, you can log on your alt and simply click the heirloom gear and it will appear in their inventory, no cost.
From lvl 100-109, a single Invasion is more than an entire level. It takes 15-20 minutes to do an Invasion. Unfortunately they randomly pop up once or twice a day.
Also, don't bother with a weapon from 100-110. Your artifact is much better. I think it cost 30-35k to fully upgrade a single heirloom set to 110.
