Waiting November, in the hopes of the final release of Shadowlands, it is smart to prepare for it. Not only that rescheduling caused a fuss among the players, but it also made a room to prepare ourselves for our best.
While awaiting Shadowlands, things that you can currently do in WoW might not be fully satisfying, but we’ll show you how to utilize that time in the smartest way possible.
Now, let’s see all the smart and useful things you can do in WoW now, to prepare for Shadowlands.
Preparing for Shadowlands – Things to Consider
As we all know, this expansion brings some really interesting things into the whole WoW universe. And, in order to enjoy such amazing experiences and things, you’ll need to prepare. Furthermore, we’ve enlisted some of the most important things you should consider doing before Shadowlands release.
So, let’s start from scratch.
- Get an Alt Account
- Gold matters
- Choose your Talents Wisely
- Mounts are important as well
- Don’t forget to take a step back and chill
Now, as we pointed out, it’s important to look from a fresh perspective and try to enjoy as much as possible. Anyhow, let’s start!
- Alt accounts
Suffice to say, alt accounts can play a major role in WoW when it comes to maximizing your potential and inventory. Therefore, they should serve to skyrocket your wealth, get better gear, and give you a push when it comes to in-game goals.
Now, you should get an alt immediately after reading this guide, as it is the right time to start. Logically, use the time to grind them to 120, get better gear for them, and level their professions. That way, when November knocks, they’ll be ready to enhance you in a myriad of ways when you start the Shadowlands.
- Save up on gold
When things get boring, you can use the time to farm gold. We all know how important gold is, so it would be best to think about pilling it up now. Use your free time to get as much of it as you can, most effectively by:
- Enchanting in BfA
- Farming Dredge leather
- Auction House Flipping
- Doing Old Raids – some of the best locations include Bastion of Twilight, Heroic Mogu’Shan Vaults, and Heart of Fear
- Hitting farming spots and killing mobs there – we recommend these two Legion spots: Isle of Watchers and Isle of Thunder
- Mining at Wintergrasp especially for the Eternal Water, Eternal Earth, Eternal Fire, Eternal Air, and Eternal Shadows which are always sought for.
Particularly, when you stock up a lot of gold you can easily get the mount you want, best in slot gear and whatnot. Opportunities are unlimited, and you won’t need to do it once the Shadowlands arrives, so make sure to start now!
- Talent Tree
Well, you surely know how changing talents can be useful and how adaptable it makes you. Moreover, there are some legit predictions that the tomes used to change talents will become highly sought for, once Shadowlands comes.
Not to forget, Tome of Clear Mind from WoD expansion works up to level 109 and The Legion version is valid up to level 120. Specifically, by buying these Tomes now, you will most likely save a lot of money in comparison to purchasing them when Shadowlands drops.
If we go one step further, it is also a smart move to pile up the scribes which serve to craft tomes. They will also skyrocket with the global release of Shadowlands, so you should get them a lion’s share of them now.
- Buying mounts
Now, mounts are important logically, so to prepare the best way there is for Shadowlands, you should get some sleek, top-notch mounts. To skip the line, let’s just say that the Caravan Brutosaur is the coolest candidate when it comes to mounts. Additionally, it costs a ton of fortune (precisely 5 million gold).
You are probably wondering why we talk about mounts? Sure, you do – and there is a reason! Namely, Blizzard has declared that you won’t be able to buy mounts from vendors in Shadowlands. Yeah, ouch – that implies that only the black market might be the solution to get the mounts. Besides, we all know how expensive things at the black market can be and how can they soar when you want something rare.
Hence, be smart and buy the desired mount now, so you’ll easily be able to transfer it to Shadowlands and have it by your side.
- Stay with us and chill
Finally, when we leave strategizing and preparing for the eighth expansion, the best way is to take a break. You’ll wonder why – well, the point is to start fresh, or should we say “start fresh for every fresh experience”!
Therefore, you can meet with friends “eye to eye” and grab some coffee or just ride a bike, go to the gym, or the cinema (just be sure to wear a mask). However, when you need some WoW fix before the release of Shadowlands, drop by and re-read this and other articles concerning Shadowlands.
Anyhow, cold November is near but Shadowlands is coming with a lot of heat to keep you warm during wintertime. Be prepared!
