Bread crumb trails are seriously lacking in BFA
here is the path I tend to follow when a alt to 120.
Allow I have a fair bit of gold, but ya can manage around that.
-
Pick up herb and mining. Gather and put things up on the AH regularly. The next couple weeks should see herbs selling well since the alchemy will use both nazjatar herbs and other herbs except maybe sea stalks? The current ones are selling at 80 + each and anchor weed is worth a lot.
-
War campagin, work your way through that (those come from quests on the boat.
-
Do emmisary quests from your map, esp those offering gear , weapons or azerite armor.
-
Run the warfront in stormguard. Just folllow the crowd and stay in combat. if you die, just rez and ride back to it.
Running that enough times should see you everything but rings and trinkets at ilvl 340 or better. (Option is buy the 340 pvp pieces if you can afford / want them. if your prot, the 340 shield may be the best way to pick that up. Be sure your loot spec is set as a pally since ret wants a 2h and holy wants 1 h and shield and some do and some do not have a swap str for int stat on them, most armor swaps except secondary stats.
5 after you run those and get around 340+ ilvl open up that information thing (adventurers guide I think it is called) If you don’t have the quest, hunt it there and take if if you see it. You do not have to have all the earlier stuff, I logged in my new hit 120 rogue and it popped up for him so I"m supposing unless some account bound thing triggered it that any new 120 gets it early on.
6 Invest in a few goblin gliders off the AH and put them on a handy keybind. IF you are falling that will let you glide down. (3 minute cooldown) Pally bubble will save you if ya pop it just a couple seconds before ya hit the ground.
7 do the start quests there, time you do that if you need there will be a portal in boralisus and nazjatir that lets you travel back and do older stuff if you want / need to do that.
- In nazjatar a lot, maybe more than less of the quests seem to just appear when you open up “fog of war” exploring the map.
Time you do a weeks worth of world quests, do some invasions (that is a 370 item each time you do one.) I have a emmisary quest up in proudmore that shows a 395 cache of armor or maybe weapon to me, but it scales based on your ilvl when you turn it in so as ilvl goes up so does reward quality.
If you watch some mechanics youtubes you can LFR battle of dazaralor and crucible of storms raids for gear.
Watch for ring and trinket WQ’s and tottilain emmisaries sometimes give rings or trinkets, and raids.
If you can stand to run M+ (not my cup of tea) but completing one each week puts a chest you get some potentially useful stuff from each tues. reset.
If you find PVP interesting, just random bg’s and epic random bg’s give conquest and Last time I looked once you fill the bar (500 conquest?) I think it is a 375 weapon and you get 4 to pick from as first reward.
There really ought to be pvp vendors, but sadly there are not.
Hope these things kinda at least point you places.
Oh, when dark shore is up do that warfront, the quest is a 400 ilvl item and it gives 355 from each time you run it. I found it a bit more confusing than stormguard, but only first few times through. Just stick with the crowd and keep tagging mobs. That prevents you being reported AFK unless it is one of the truly toxic jerks, and yes, there are people suffering from that livel of sickness and schadenfreude.
Ya might try asking in /2 trade about a guild willing to help you gear up and do stuff. There are also still some good folk who are willing to jump into helping interested folk.
Have fun and light protect ya
