Preparing for the Expansion
Preparing for the Expansion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The expansion is now less then two months away from hitting
store shelves and its a very good time to begin preparing your
characters for the leap into Outland. There is a lot of new
content coming out and its best to prepare yourself for it so
that you can jump right in and enjoy without nothing holding you
back.
What better time to do it then now? Your raiding schedule has
probably slowed while your guild waits on the expansion and
market prices are remaining pretty stable. The winter holidays
are coming up so its a good time to get in some extra farming
and preparation for the upcoming expansion!
If youre level sixty, then continue reading on for lots of
helpful tips to get yourself ready for the expansion. If youre
not level sixty, worry not! Many of these tips apply even to
you, although the majority of the new content begins to level
fifty five.
Cleaning your Inventory
You can examine most anyones character and find a vault loaded
with crafting materials, consumables, spare gear, and junk. When
the expansion comes youll be needing a lot more room for even
more items that will come from the various instances and quests.
Thats why its a good idea to take a look through everything and
try to clean-up!
Id start off by selling stuff youre sure you wont need. Gray
items, potions youll probably never drink, and crafting
materials that youll never use. All good candidates to head to
the nearest shop or auction house to be turned into coin. Try
out auctioneer to mass-sell items easier.
Next would be making an alt and having it hold your extra stuff.
Make a level one character and park it outside of a bank. Mail
it your unneeded stuff and have it store it for safe keeping in
its vault/inventory. This is a lot of work, but great for
collectable items that youll never be getting rid of anyway.
Outside of that, attempt to organize your bags around so you
know where everything is at and make room for lots of awesome
new things.
Quest Journal
The expansion will be bringing about a large assortment of new
quests and youll need somewhere to put them all. Youll have an
expanded journal (by 5 slots) when the expansion comes around,
but the more room the better.
Do this, take a look at each quest in your journal and ask
yourself the following questions:
Do I want to put the effort into finishing this quest?
Do I have the extra time available to finish this quest?
Do I want the reward for this quest?
Is this quest doable with my available resources?
Have I made any progress that I dont want to abandon?
After looking over those questions, if it looks like you really
dont need that particular quest then drop it. You can ALWAYS
pick a quest back up, so you wont be losing it forever.
Taking up Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting is an awesome profession that will be a big money
maker. Its also an expensive profession, requiring rare gems and
various amounts of stone and metal to level up with. These gems
can only be obtained reliably through mining. When the expansion
comes out and jewelcrafting is introduced there will be a skill
to allow a greater chance of getting gems out of mineral veins,
but that isnt in right now.
So the best thing to do would be pick up mining and get it to
300. Youll have tons of extra metal and stone to make items with
AND youll have your mining ready to farm gems to jewelcraft
with.
Dont wait around until launch and try to purchase the materials
off the Auction House in order to raise your skill in
jewelcrafting. Inflated prices will reign and itll be way
better, like any profession, to farm the materials yourself.
Rolling a Blood Elf or Dreanei.
Lots of people are planning to start fresh with a new Blood Elf
or Draenei come the expansions launch. This means that lots of
things, especially newbie gear, will become scarce when the
races are introduced.
Thats why it may be a good idea to load up on gear (enchanted if
at all possible) to give to your alt as it levels up. Get it
while its cheap and in plenty of supply so that you dont end-up
meeting supply and demand at launch.
As a note, the two new starting zones do a wonderful job of
introducing new characters to the game. As such, they will have
plenty of gear to get new characters from one to twenty. The two
new starting zones for each race take players on the express
trip from level one to level twenty with all the supplies they
need. If you want to go above and beyond that though, now is the
time to act. .
