YouTuber Penguin2gt has an excellent series of three videos covering the way DF professions work for beginners.
Covers just about everything you need to know about them, including how to pair professions to reduce the rep grind needed to acquire recipes for two different professions.
I’m taking it slow with this expac. Got my Ret Pally to 62 and my destro lock to 61 today, and might do something on a few other toons before calling it a night, but I’m enjoying the slower pace I decided to go. Glad you can save some gold learning the skinning skill just by skinning a beast, and mining skill by mining a node. Haven’t tried herbalism yet as I don’t know when I will take one of my herbers to DI.
I don’t understand this. It’s trying to download the entire game again. I already have it, it’s pointed at the correct folder, but nooooooo let’s randomly put it in some other folder it’s never even been in before!
Elune help me, now it has to “initialize” again. Last time it took HOURS. I just wanna plaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.
I took a new character to the Isles. Same thing. Only fish. I figured I am doing something wrong, so I went to the Horde starting area. I fished there in a cave with an elite frog and voila, I got cloth and salt and beetles. The Alliance starting area only gives fish. If you need a variety of fish, go Alliance!
Then that is a bug! I was fishing in the deep lava pools farther away from the starting area. Nice to know you did find a place though and have figured it out! Oh, that frog gave me a toy when I killed it.
EDIT:
Anyone else who loves to fish and wants to use the new interact features. Nikki Crenshaw has a fantastic post explaining how to set it up, and gave the /console commands to ensure it does not fail to pick up. (longer distance and wider arc for example).
Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla together; beat thoroughly until smooth. Add dry ingredients, then add veggies and banana. Blend well until smooth. Add nuts.
Pour into 2x 9x5-inch loaf pans, greased and floured. Bake for one hour. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans and cool completely on a rack.
Honey butter “spread” (glaze)
1 cup honey
1 stick butter, softened (I went with unsalted but the recipe doesn’t specify)
1/2 cup powdered (confectioners) sugar
Mix all ingredients together with a mixer until smooth, then pour on bread after it’s cooled.
Most general game and account tickets are just under 2 weeks and do seem to be improving. Most higher priority issues can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days right now. That tends to be can’t play issues like character stucks, account access, compromises, etc…
