If I'm returning to the game after a long time and would like to get into raiding, mythic plus, etc. what is the best way to do that. Obviously I don't want to just join some random guild.

Has anyone considered a ResetEra guild? I know they're server specific so getting everyone's mains together isn't likely, plus the whole Alliance/Horde split.
I feel like a decent amount of us are Horde on Area-52, though.

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of the change. Its easier on my wrist which is nice but it feels like there's a shitload of downtime.
There's no Gnomes on Horde so how could I ever play over there?

I'm going Venthyr which is pretty good in general for DK but Blood Mirror is fucking awesome for Blood. I haven't looked much more into them but I remember hearing they're all decent depending what content you're looking to do. I'll be doing M+ and Mythic Raiding so I'm happy with my choice.
that said, and to echo Anoregon, I fully suggest people pick what they like and what aesthetics appeal to them. Unless you're a cutting edge guild or consistently running +16 keys or higher the differences will be minuscule - they'll keep them balanced enough to where the average player (read: most everyone) won't have to worry much about it. I'm just lucky that the Venthyr is an aesthetic I like a lot as well so it's just good all around for my taste.
This is the good advice. Each covenant is going to give you an ability that makes you better at something. Just choose either the one you like best from a taste standpoint or what meshes best with your playstyle.
Great work on this OT!
Recently resubbed after taking time off post-8.2. Looking to get back into the swing of things since this level squish and other changes are all new to me.
I've spent most of my time past week and a half catching up on unlocking allied races and leveling up alts to 50 on both sides. Now I'm just doing Icecrown rares for gear having done the pre-patch quest line. Anything else I should be doing?
Look forward to learning the game again and reading everyone's thoughts and advice.

User warned: "lazy dev" rhetoric. Please review our FAQ.
Why do the new items sets all look the same? No more class specific sets? Blizzard is realy lazy these days.
Love the OT Prophet Five
And here we are 3 days from launch and I STILL don't have a fucking main. I have a DH, a Shammy, a Hunter, and a Druid. All max level. I also have a Mage, a Warrior, a Priest, and a Warlock all around level 30. And I cannot for the life of me make up my mind. Each has so many upsides and downsides. I'm burning my brain trying to pick one.

Well, I got my bag. So I guess I beat the prepatch. Kind of a lackluster event. The Legion prepatch was so good by contrast.
I am really not sure how I'm gonna feel about shadowlands yet. I got so burned out on BFA and basically quit after killing Mythic N'Zoth months ago. Told my guild I am going casual, which basically means I'll show up for alt raids/heroic night. Thinking I might enjoy it more without any obligations. Patch 8.3 was such an incredible chore.
On Hunter it looks like Night Fae is gonna be the way to go, which is totally fine with me.

resubbed, doing the pre-patch bullshit, killed Nathanos on my BM Hunter... got a Polearm
I have no idea why my loot was set to Survival >_>
No it does this shit with that quest for some reason. I got a polearm on my Windwalker monk.
Not sure if maybe there is just one reward per class or what.
Yeah I know I can use them but I haven't in forever lol
Stay strong and keep the Alliance alive. We cannot let ourselves to fall into temptation and switch into Easy Mode (Horde).
It wasn't easy, but I've finally completed one of the hardest things I've ever done in WoW: making a Mail transmog set that matches Thori'dal and shows some man-skin.
Hopefully Shadowlands is as alt-friendly as it looks so that I actually end up playing this guy. :D

Yeah someone just DMed me this. I had no idea they made Fist of Fury and other abilities work with 2handers now, crazy.
Yeah, they made a lot of specs viable with more than one weapon type.
Oh yeah, need to get used to WW having 2 handed and BM having dual weild now.
No idea what to think about this, never played a melee class that has to choose between 2 handed or dual.

I don't think it matters for WW much so you can safely just use whichever is higher ilvl.
Wait. I'm playing a shadow priest/holy priest. What profession do I need for the legendary? Or am I missing something.
Also, I took off work Monday not knowing the actual release is at 6:00pm. Probably just gonna go into work and maybe take off Tuesday instead.

The base legendary items are BoE, the cloth ones will be made by tailors but you don't need any profession yourself.
Oh nice. So everyone gets them now? Or is there still something you need to do?
You still have to do the non-rep requirements, like finishing storylines or whatever.
Cloth, but you decide to craft them yourself you will need to craft multiples to be able to make the rank 4 you will eventually need. It's also quite expensive, though tailoring is by far the cheapest.
This is a screenshot from the spreadsheet I use that has the estimated best case scenario costs to level each piece. They are from left to right: Wrist/back, Waist/Hands/Feet/Shoulders, and Head/Legs/Chest.
In the red is the best case cost after the recent changes. Above are the old costs before the material quantities were changed 2 days ago, and below is by how much it was reduced. Again, this is best case so YMMV. Let me know if you want a link to the spreadsheet.
Expanding on this, an Enchanter will be needed to empower the base materials, a Tailor (for armor slots) or Jewelcrafter (for rings and necks) will be needed to craft the base item, and a Scribe will be needed to provide "Missives" that determine the secondary stats on the item. It's very much intended that all of the professions have a role in the Shadowlands ecosystem, so you'll need to be getting some help from other characters no matter what!
It really depends. Most people will want just the one legendary, which you could buy the base item for pretty easily.
Regarding the legendaries in SL, I asked my RL if we should assign dedicated crafters per armor type, to ensure that our raiders will get their level 4 legendaries in with a reasonable cost. My RL answered that we are too casual to do that and he is just to ask for people to wear their BiS level 1 legendary.
Well you don't have to do anything yourself as it's all on the AH, but it's probably the most complicated profession ecosystem we've ever had. Outside of a few small things like trinkets, crafted gear hasn't really mattered beyond people wasting money at the beginning of an expansion for a long time.
What is everyone planning to focus on when they jump in? Questing for lore? Race to gear up for heroics and the raid? Early PvP? Professions for AH gold making? Pet, mount, transmog collecting? Achievement hunting?
Personally I want to take my time questing and enjoying the lore. However, I also want to capitalize on the early Mining and Herbalism prices by selling as much of it as I can. Hoping to make a few million by the end of the year, and that all banks on selling these first few days. With the amount of mats you need for crafting, perhaps it'll last a few weeks.

Yeah, something to keep in mind is that the Legendary effects (which are the main draw of Legendaries over normal items in the first place) don't scale up with rank. Ranking up a Legendary only boosts the raw stats. So for most people, I'd argue that picking up multiple Rank 1 Legendaries to diversify your options is much more valuable than upgrading a particular Legendary to max. Rank 4 Legendaries are definitely going to be a bit of a luxury item for now.
What NA Horde server is used by Era people? I don't know what to do with the revealed code. I don't know what server I'm going to settle on, but I may as well do a server I know for the Legion Allied Race Horde unlocks.
I like it, kind of reminds me of TBC where the professions were really important for the entire expansion.
I legitimately cannot decide what I'm going to play right now so I have no plan. I keep bouncing between Monk, Priest and DK. I probably would end up focusing on my Priest if not for the fact that my friend and my brother are both planning on playing one so I'd like to do something where I can tank. I love monk but I've been frustrated with Windwalker through BFA, it felt like it got left behind compared to other DPS specs in a few ways. It was really frustrating going from my Monk to my Warrior or DH that had a shitload of survivability without giving up on damage meanwhile if I pulled too much on my Monk there was very little sustain and I'd die. It sounds like Brew is going to be really good but I always hated how Brew didn't have that self-sustain other tank specs do. With DK I like Frost a lot but I'll be bummed if I end up stuck with Breath of Sindragosa as the far and away #1 option again. Its not the most fun ability with minor mistakes being hugely punishing. And of course Blood is basically the opposite of Brew where it has *all* the self-sustain.
Yeah thank god. Where do we pick up SL professions up? Oribos? And the main SL quest triggers in SW/Org yeah?
