Wod Launch Day Resources

It's here it's here it's finally HEERREEEE!

There's a ton of resources out there, so rather then write a mammoth wall-o-text, I'm going to make this as short as possible while linking all over the place so you can get as in-depth as you want.

Feral Druid Things

1. Ger the Glyph of Travel as soon as you can find it on the AH, it makes getting around so much easier. Ditto Glyph of Savagery.

2. As soon as you get the Rake perk, you'll want to open with that from stealth, instead of Shred. Of course, if you're in ubergear, you can skip the stealth part altogether and just demolish things, but that goes away as you level.

3. Spec SOTF for leveling, but use Incarnation for dungeons. It's a surprisingly good talent. Force of Nature is unsurprisingly terrible.

Leveling Quickly

1. Stack some combination of Isle of Thunder/Shado-Pan/Klaxxi/Timeless Isle quests. Log in at Isle, port to Shado-Pan, hearth or fly to Klaxxi, trinket port to Timeless Isle, guild cloak port to SW, Mage tower port to Blasted Lands. If starting at 12AM, may want to only save 20-22, start questing immediately, and hearth out/back once you get garrison port.

2. Consumable up - might as well use them. Food, flask, DPS potions for rares/overpulls, etc. If going all-out, get speed (Darkwater) potions, slowfall potions for shortcuts, gems to gem gear as you get it, etc. Cracked Talisman is also very useful.

3. Buy all 3 guild battle standards. They buff XP gain from monsters and treasures by 15%/10%/5%. 10 minute CD per banner, so you should be able to drop one for most treasures you find.

4. Or, if you want, totally ignore everything in this section and level at your own speed! That's perfectly cool too!

Waypoints to all WoD treasure chests. Treasures are very prevalent in WoD - there are 20-40 in each zone. They are like Timeless Isle treasures; they're phased so everyone can pick them up (once). Treasures give slightly less XP then completing a quest.

Professions And Garrisons

1. You're steered to your Garrison immediately after finishing the introductory Tanaan quests. Once you finish the intro garrison quests, you'll have a L1 Garrison with an open small plot and a Barracks-filled large plot. After finishing the intro zone (Shadowmoon/Frostfire), you'll unlock a L2 Garrison, which opens an extra small and medium plot. L3 isn't available until 100 and adds an additional plot of each size, for a final total of 3 small, two medium, and two large. You'll also pick up some extra buildings along the way that everyone gets: the mine, the herb garden, the fishing shack, and the pet menagerie.

2. Gathering professions are largely unaffected by Garrisons. Gathering is super easy in Draenor as you can gather from any node (or skin) regardless of skill, you'll just get less from it.

3. Small building are mainly for crafting. Each crafting profession has an accompanying small building that can build most (not all) of Each profession also has a Unique Resource (I'll use engineering's, Gearspring Parts, as an example) that must be generated in order to build most of the new cool things. Stay with me here, this gets a little complicated.

* If you have BOTH the crafting building and matching profession, you can get 16 of your Unique Crafting Resource per day; 10 from the profession, 6 from the building.

* If you have the profession, but not the building, things are mostly the same. You only get 10 Resources per day, and you have to go to Ashran instead of your garrison to learn new recipes, but that's it.

* If you have just the building, you can do some things with the building, but it's limited. You'll only get 6 Resources per day and can spend the Resources for the base-level crafts, but won't be able to buy the upgrades or unique items.

Other than the crafting buildings, there's also the Storehouse for extra work orders and garrison bank access (meh) and the Salvage Yard for extra rewards from follower missions.

4. Medium buildings give you stuff. The Barn gives Savage Blood (needed for ALL epic crafts), the Inn gives you daily dungeon quests and more followers, the Lumber Mill lets you harvest Timber which turns into extra Garrison Resources, and the Trading Post lets you trade reagents for Garrison Resources (or vice versa). There's also a PvP building in there for some reason.

5. Large buildings offer buffs. You start with a Barracks for free, which buffs your followers and lets you make certain followers bodyguards, who fight with you in the wild. There's also the Bunker, which buffs quest rewards, can upgrade followers, and gives you free bonus rolls; the Stables, which increases mount speed and prevents being dazed; the Mage Tower, which lets you port around Draenor; and the Gearworks, which gives you a different fun toy/special ability to use every day.

6. My picks: I've changed my mind around a few times, but I've finally settled on these starting choices for my main, who is Alch/Engi.

* Small: Salvage Yard, Enchanting, Inscription. I like the follower minigame, so Salvage Yard is a must-take. I'm not building the Alchemy building because the Alch unique resource is only used for making a trinket and super-flasks; my profession should generate more than enough mats for that. I'm swapping in the Enchanter's building so I can disenchant quest greens. Inscription over Engineering is a tough choice; I will likely start with Inscription just to generate cards for a Darkmoon trinket, then switch it to Engineering later.

* Medium: Trading Post, Inn. Not a PvPer, so the PvP building is out (should've been a building that everyone gets, really). I went back and forth on Lumber Mill or Trading Post for a long time; both will generate you Garrison Resources, but Trading Post is ultimately more flexible and doesn't require you to go harvesting. Finally, Inn wins over the Barn because I'll be running a lot of dungeons at 100, though my alt will have a Barn to sell the Bloods.

* Large: Barracks, Bunker. Glyph of Travel means I'm not too concerned with the Stables, I think Engineering will give me enough toys to get around fast that I don't need the Mage Tower, and the Gearworks looks more like a "fun for alts" thing than anything else.

Things To Do At 100

1. Gear up! Questing should've gotten you up to around item level 610. Heroic dungeons drop ilevel 630 gear, and CM dungeons drop ilvl 640.

2. Start farming Apexis Crystals. These primarily come from a daily quest in your garrison. You need ~5000 Crystals as part of the legendary questline, and lots more can be used for gear.

How To Be An Atheist On Facebook A Simple Guide

1. Elite YOUR Associates Perspicaciously This isn't a beep to recently add non-religious homeland to your friends list. Gift are some religious homeland who can see why others energy transfer cramp about their religion. Gift are some who see nothing inadequate with others expressing their views on a website such as Facebook, even if they fluctuate with them. Some don't use Facebook lots to get distressed by doesn't matter what you transfer to say. So while it comes down to it, don't add character who know can't run any criticize of their religion, motion chest you to the same extent a uncultivated past they find out that you're a non-believer or motion sensitivity spring to post that Jesus loves you on every keep a note thing you put on your wall. In the right position if it's no matter which competently private to religion or incredulity. 2. Elite YOUR BATTLES Perspicaciously. Sometimes a Facebook friend motion post photos or association articles containing ideas or information that you don't situate with. Each person motion see no matter which that pisses them off, for some reason, on Facebook at some nonstop in using the site. If you take in a post on every keep a note item on Facebook that you fluctuate with, you'll transfer no time to actually possess the site, so you'll be in the mid of a million noticeable debates about stow that you don't to the same extent. That assumed, if you post no matter which and someone annotations on it, then you transfer every appropriate to receptive a verbal communication. As they perfectly know where you stand on the kindness and they posted no matter which to the opposite. But in addition to, adventure if this come to blows motion be feature it. If your friend wants to transport in a conversation and knows how to conversation and motion not transport supplementary join in with your friends or social class or in despite the consequences surprise victory your life. Sometimes all you transfer to do to win a come to blows is to not get paying attention in no matter which that motion smash your time and furrow your energy. 3. Elite YOUR POSTS Perspicaciously. Sometimes we square movement on our own pages by rank stow that we know are untreated to fire our Facebook friends. If you know you transfer a homophobic Facebook friend who decries marriage regularity at every turn, rank doesn't matter what in rock of same-sex marriage is untreated to start a conversation or a stabbing provide with, depending on your friend. Period you requisite sensitivity free to post whatever you pick out on your own Facebook wall, be conscious of no matter which that can transport an likely to and competently offhand thought. That assumed, you can't desire the thought that greatest posts motion transport. Here 2 natural life ago I posted a meme that mocked the practice in Deuteronomy of a raped insect living motivated to amalgamate her rapist and pay her launch 50 shekels. One suppose who I didn't even know very well, but had requested my friendship, went off on a massive rant on about how I was loot stow out of context and I was living bigoted towards the homeland who had curiously shaped this law, so I didn't understand their time, so on, so forth. I tried to shed light on the simple fact that no law requisite dais making it legitimate for a man to amalgamate someone that he raped and pay a evaluate for her lost virginity to her launch. But logic was perfectly lost on this one. Which brings me to 4. Convey For instance TO UNFRIEND AND Direct ON. Some homeland love to conversation and dialect and see situations from noticeable vantage points and have a crack their backdrop thinking about noticeable topics. A good deal homeland transfer no accepted wisdom how to conversation, motion disguise their backdrop thinking even if it route flattering of slavery, and can use combined logic fallacies in the especially paragraph. If you run during the earlier, then possess your exciting adjustment. If you run during the following, unfriend and move on. For instance you can't reason with someone and good quality address is forgotten them, then usefully move dated. They energy be pissed, they energy start join in with social class or friends or co-workers. But the join in they start edge of Facebook would be nothing compared to the join in they would believe to wreak on your page. At any rate, if they're that immature and ill stiff, then they were swoop to start join in about no matter which, so avoiding it competently energy transfer been horrible despite the consequences. 5. Disinter LIKEMINDED Associates. I straight understand what it's to the same extent to sensitivity as if you're the recently atheist in the world. For instance I in time truthful my incredulity, I was living in a small reimbursement that had leader churches than restaurants. Blissfully, I got on Meetup.com and found some real life atheist friends, who I spread to my Facebook page, and in addition to completed friends online prepared groups and pages. This helps you to not sensitivity so ascetic, but in addition to gives you back up. So if a theist friend freaks out about how you posted an immoral Jesus diagram (or a Godswill point), your atheist friends can impart them a pole of their minds as well. Gift is prosperity in happen and the world requests to see atheists uniting and biased each other, even if it's objective on Facebook. You are not the recently suppose in the world that doesn't hammer a magical sky fairy to rack you from murdering homeland. Disinter individuals who motion understand your rant in arrears someone tries to onlooker to you at the mall. Go forth and Facebook, Brothers and Sisters! And preclude out the Godswill Facebook page. We post gripping articles from jaggedly the web, curious memes, and all of the contemporary Godswill articles autopost as unequivocally as they go up on the site. Direct be with you.
