Transcripts
hey friends uh it's beenin Ruki here um
I just wanted to make a quick video um
we're coming to the end of the Early
Access and tomorrow the game will
officially be launched for everyone and
I wanted to make a uh a little video
just giving out um a a little bit of a
checklist maybe some tips for the people
that haven't got into the game yet um
just to give you guys um some idea of
where I'm at uh um during the pre patch
I I have four characters maxed out so
I've got my Mage I've got my warrior
I've got my monk and I've got my evoker
and honestly it's been a lot of fun the
leveling has been super quick uh which
is really nice um you know there's
there's mixed feedback about that some
people want kind of a little longer
leveling experience uh I'm really happy
with the quick one and uh the reason for
that is I feel like there's enough
content at max level that if you kind of
like that exploration you know you want
to get your Renown up there's lots of
solo content you can do there's tons of
quests in the zone so even if you do hit
max level there's still a ton for you to
discover and play around with and and
mess with and do so my my my own
personal opinion is the quick leveling
has been nice but yeah I just wanted to
um you know a lot of people who watch my
channel on Twitch and on YouTube uh
primarily pvpers so maybe give you guys
a little bit of an idea uh when you're
starting tomorrow of um you know some
tips and tricks and suggestions and uh
maybe just point you in the right
direction of things that you should do
so if that sounds like something that's
interesting to you you uh stay tuned
that's what is coming so the first thing
that I wanted to recommend um is
downloading an add-on uh which is
helpful for a couple different reasons
but if you guys do not have handy notes
I highly recommend you get it you can
just download it on curse Forge it's
called handy notes and make sure you get
the war within uh package as well so you
want handy notes and the war within um
this is going to do a few different
things but mostly just highlight
important things on your map uh it's
very convenient when you're exploring
the world to know how to um you know
find certain Treasures um find specific
things like if you do end up getting a
profession it'll show you in each Zone
where you can basically get free
skillups you know stuff like that um
which I think was very helpful for me
and I would recommend it to you so just
right away before you even start some
more if you guys see this video get that
handy notes it's very useful um your
starting point if you're feeling
overwhelmed if you're feeling behind I
just want you to know you you really you
shouldn't um a lot of the people that
have been playing in the Early Access
like myself we're kind of looking for
things to do you know we're looking for
things to do right now and I for one I'm
just excited for more people to kind of
get into the game um that's that's what
I'm looking forward to but basically
your experience is going to be this
you're going to log on you're going to
start with the campaign okay and what I
recommend you do is you do the full
campaign uh if you guys have been
watching twitch you've probably seen
people spamming dungeons um dungeons are
definitely not a bad thing to do and
they're certainly good for leveling up
your alt uh but for the first time
through for lots of different reasons
primarily you know actually experiencing
the story and uh you know discovering
all the
zones uh it's useful for unlocking um
various things including World quests
which I think are going to be very
important I think if you are wanting to
kind of minmax your gear having the
access to the world quest and getting
World PVP throughout the beginning of
the Season uh is definitely something
that is worth your while so I would
highly recommend that you just kind of
focus on the campaign primarily
um the next thing um I I wanted just a
quick reminder as well if you're someone
that likes to play alts make sure you
log on all of your characters and start
getting rested experience I'm not sure
if you've been able to do that in the
pre- patch like if you did not get the
Early Access maybe you have been able to
acquire that rested experience if you
haven't just log on your characters for
one second make sure you're in a rested
Zone and just at least get that rested
experience rolling so that's just a
quick little reminder for
that um I wanted to talk about war mode
as well so if you just getting in uh to
um the game you're obviously going to
have a little bit of an different
experience right like your experience is
going to be with a bunch of max level
people and those people might be already
flying around trying to gather resources
you know fight for World PVP objectives
and you're going to have a big
disadvantage it's an unfortunate reality
but it's a reality so I just wanted to
make the suggestion if you guys are Str
first of all I would say start with war
mode and depending on what happens don't
be afraid to shut it off like if you're
having a bad experience and you're
getting ganked and that's frustrating
you just want to level just immediately
shut off War mode that's my number one
suggestion to you I really think there's
going to be people out there that aren't
so friendly they're going to be looking
to gank loobies and uh you can actually
just completely protect yourself by
shutting off War mode there'll be plenty
of PVP to come but at least for like the
initial stages I think save yourself a
lot a headache by just disabling it you
can start with it on see how it goes
maybe it's going to be totally fine but
if it isn't just remember you can opt
out just disable the war mode and uh get
into it um another thing that I wanted
to um kind of shout out is grab your
professions early so you're you're going
to start and then you you'll end up
getting to the capital city which is
dagal pretty quick when you get here um
you can pick up your professions I
myself went with Mining and Jewel
crafting uh a lot of people are opting
for those Gathering professions that can
be quite lucrative if you're really
consistent with it of course they do
give experience um leveling up your
professions can give you experience with
crafted bonuses etc etc so maybe look
into the ones you want to do uh if
you're really lazy I think you can do
tailoring you can just pick up tailoring
and if you have tailoring it makes it so
the monsters you kill drop cloth as far
as I know and I think that's the only
way you can actually get cloth now is by
having tailoring and uh killing monsters
I could be wrong about that but I I'm
like 99% sure that I am right so if
you're looking for super lazy
professions uh tailoring might be one um
that interests you so you could pick
that up um first aid is uh pretty good
as well it heals for a lot in this
expansion so if you want some of those
cell heals not necessary for really
leveling up but maybe for PVP in the
future it is something you can grab as
well now as you're doing the campaign
when you hit level 71 you're going to
have the option to cue for dungeons um
if you are a tank you're a Healer you're
a DPS um I don't mind the idea of
queuing for some dungeons as you go
through the campaign okay so as you're
going through the campaign you can cue
some dungeons you just have to be um
wary of the fact that you're going to
hit 80 really quick if all you do is
dungeons it's going to be super fast so
what I would do if I was you is maybe
weave in one dungeon um you know two
dungeons per Zone something like that
and that should easily get you to level
80 so like while you're questing in this
Zone maybe Q for one or two dungeons
accept that and then stop and just wait
till you're in the next Zone maybe Q for
one or two dungeons do the campaign um
etc etc and those eight dungeons that
you do should really carry you for to be
80 really really quickly you might even
have to do less than that but in general
the campaign it doesn't take that long
maybe like four or 5 hours if you're
really dialed in and if you it's going
to take a little longer if you do
dungeons of course but you should easily
be able to hit um level 80 at that point
okay so once you uh oh another thing
while you're leveling if you do opt for
war mode this is more PVP specific now
so that was kind of the intro for like
leveling and stuff but more PVP
specific um make
sure that while you are leveling you're
picking up the uh War crates I think
it's at least worth trying to fight for
them because they can have some
lucrative rewards in there they can have
recipes they can have honor and you can
start acquiring your honor as you level
up if you are playing with that war mode
so that is something to just look out
for in the zones uh when the guy does
the shout out for them you can look at
your map you'll see a little airplane
flying over the map and uh you can go
fight for it if you want maybe have some
fun with World PVP if you're not doing
War mode that will not show up so just
keep that in mind okay boom now we're
max level what do you do when you are
max level
now primarily you're just going to be
doing Battlegrounds so Battlegrounds is
going to be Battlegrounds and doing
World PVP Quest will probably be um the
number one way to get gear and also the
war chest so the war supplies that are
being dropped in the zones you're going
to be wanting to hunt for those of
course you're going to be wanting to CU
Battlegrounds um you're going to be
wanting to do the world PVP Quest and
that's going to be a good way for you to
start acquiring honor now something
really important to note is you
need uh a specific type of gear to well
not specific but you need at least
535 items in each slot now just hear me
out I'm going to show you okay so you
can see that I have this gear right here
this helmet this is the algari
competitor cloth Hood it's a very
expensive item okay it's it SC SC to 613
item level in PvP so you would think
this is the best thing to get and it is
besides honor this is the best thing to
get but it is extremely expensive okay
so if you are a baller you have a lot of
gold you're dropping the wow tokens and
you don't care you can just buy this
gear that's going to put you in a very
good spot to start farming uh
Battlegrounds if you do not want to
spend that you can pick up items like
this so just go to the auction house and
you can just search for uh any item in
the slot so you can search for helmet a
neck shoulders whatever it is as long as
the item is 535 or higher it will
actually scale to 600 item level in bgs
which isn't great but it's better than
nothing like if you have at least 600
you can kind of play the game like it
it's going to be okay and that's what
I've been doing um it is likely that
when you know uh you get in there a lot
of people are going to be having higher
item level but you at least want that
600 item level if you can't afford to
get um these green algari gear
um that would be my recommendation to
you so if you want to just start getting
your honor gearing right away in
Battlegrounds it will scale you up to
600 item level um for example this neck
it's 548 when I get into a Battleground
it goes up to 600 okay so that is
important to note The Next Step Up from
that will be the algari gear and then
the next step up from that is going to
be honor gear after that it's a world
PVP gear which will not be unlocked okay
there will be no world PVP gear as far
as I know there might be blue World PVP
gear but I don't think so um but I could
be wrong about that we we'll have to
wait and see um but if it is available
the blue PVP gear will out but I'm
pretty sure the Epic isn't and I'm
pretty sure Conquest is not unlocked so
that is not going to be an option um
you're basically all you're going to be
wanting to do once we hit max level and
all everyone else is going to be able to
do is basically level up your characters
before the season starts Farm out as
much honor gear as possible now a few
little extra tips that I want to give is
make sure you guys use PVP trinkets okay
you are going to be tempted you're going
to be tempted with these uh trinkets
like these 548 trinkets you know maybe
you'll get something higher I really
don't recommend that you do use them um
my suggestion to you would still be
using the set bonus so use the set bonus
on your trinkets ideally if you're going
to splurge on any green pieces you get
these green trinkets um so if you want
to splurge on something or you want to
spend your honor on something really
really quickly picking up the trinkets
is good for the bonus gives you a lot of
main stat you know a lot of haste on
this one for example um but I have been
playing with just the old ones so I'm
playing with the draconic Gladiator ones
as well because you still get that set
bonus right you get the 12% intellect
and the 5% stamina uh of course you get
the ability to break out of crowd
control so even at a lower item level I
really recommend you use those two
trinkets um so yeah you can pick those
up you can buy them from the auction
house or just use the ones that you had
in the past if you don't have have them
at all you're going to be at a
disadvantage but I would get them as
fast as
possible and uh that'll put you in a
pretty good spot uh another thing I
wanted to shout out really really
quickly is a new item that they've added
to the game this is something that a lot
of people don't know about um that
people are recently discovering but
they've actually added a new flask to
the game pretty sure it's called vicious
flask um yeah so it's called a vicious
flask of Honor um I would buy these up
as fast as possible cuz I have a I have
a feeling that you know the vicious
flask and the vicious flask of honor and
the vicious flash of the wrecking ball
these are going to and there's another
one here dring to increase your Mana
regeneration by 8% whenever you have not
cast a beneficial spell um yeah so
there's there's these different ones
there's there's three of them right now
I do suspect that they're all going to
be going up in price so if you guys want
to get ahead of the curve when you get
on when you get to the capital city buy
these in advance um because I do think
think and I have no financial interest
in this I'm not telling you to buy them
because I'm making them I genuinely
think it's a good strategy to know buy a
bunch of these flasks if you have the
goal for it uh just as an investment um
to get your your honor gains
significantly faster uh when you start
getting into those
Battlegrounds and uh the only other
thing that I would suggest that I have
really been taking advantage of is you
know while you're sitting those
Battleground cues if you're looking for
something to do exploring the maps so
just make you have make sure you have
the maps totally explored is going to
give you the option so all all four maps
of course all four of the new zones if
you fully explore them um it's going to
give you the option to go with the old
um flying now the old flying is slower
okay it's a slow and steady flight but
for Gathering
specifically um I've really really been
enjoying it so that's another thing that
it's just random it's not really PVP
spec specific uh but it is uh incredibly
helpful um if you are gathering I find
it much better to be flying around with
this
um but that's more of like a Max Level
thing but yeah hopefully this video was
uh helpful I I I kind of wanted to make
it just to make people feel a little bit
more reassured with what's going on you
know don't be too stressed out about all
these things you have to do don't too
don't feel too far behind it's fairly
straightforward we're all going to be
essentially in the same spot in about a
week um you know what I mean if you're
just leveling up one character you're
going to hit max level really really
quickly you're going to be able to start
farming out your honor gear which is a
really quick grind and then everyone's
going to be kind of on an even playing
field so um I'm excited for that of
course I do wish you know looking back I
kind of wish that everyone was uh
starting the game at the same time but
um I do uh take a lot of I am happy at
least that there's not that much that
you can really get ahead on right now
and also it's really really quick to
catch up so yeah just have fun with the
game um I'm sure you guys have been
watching lots of streams um I really
look forward to uh you know you guys
maybe com and hang out out my channel
leave a comment on the video uh if this
kind of thing was helpful at all um but
yeah just uh just a really quick video
for you guys thank you for watching
enjoy the launch uh I'll be live on my
stream and if you guys have any more
questions um I'm always happy to answer
them I'm going be streaming all day
tomorrow um so yeah stop by the stream
twitch.tv/ Fuki you got questions about
PVP about gearing about specs I'll do my
absolute best to help you out and uh
