Forget Heirlooms. Make Joyous Journey Permanent

I truly believe the pacing of leveling with the JJ 50% XP buff, is a nice balance that doesn’t feel OP, or take away from the Classic vibe. Heirlooms are coming, but what if we had a tabard, or just a buff you can keep activating on or off at the INN, like it is currently. For most of us, this is our 2nd run at playing WoW WOTLK. I truly feel like having it permanent so long as you have at least one level 70 or 80 as an example, would qualify you to use this feature. Perhaps it would be for levels 1-68, as at 68 you can quest in Northrend, and we don’t want to disrupt that. Thoughts?

Amen.

I’m level 17 and haven’t come close to dying once, while wearing a couple green quest rewards/drops. I don’t care about the blue gear that’s always getting better, I just want the XP.

I like this idea.

JJ is the most fun I’ve had leveling in the game. Don’t get me wrong, I sometimes love the slow, Classic experience. But JJ has made everything more balanced. It’s also perfect for altaholics.

If you want it permanently, you need to finish heroic 25 man icc.

No tabard, buff is fine.

I want my city rep tabards.

Terrible idea.

Heirlooms are a part of Wrath.

I’m tired of people trying to rip things out of wrath because they don’t personally like it.

If you don’t want to use heirlooms, don’t use them.

You really had to do me like that? :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, yes I did, if blizzard adds H+ to icc, the requirements bump up to H+ 25 man icc

Phrasing, bro. Phrasing.

Oh yeah, I forgot about city rep tabards.

We need rep boosting tabards not be locked behind exacted rep, because what use are they at exalted?

City rep tabards are a cata thing, the only rep tabards in wrath are for lvl 80, however I definitely agree about joyous journeys being waaaaay better then heirlooms. I’ve been having a blast leveling alts, and having the xp boost being tied to gear is just kinda boring, I like replacing slots. It also makes it less accessible to the people who probably would get the most out of it, newcomers who don’t want to buy a boost and actually want to play the game

Maybe tie the buff with having 3pc looms? Basically upgrading the looms buff

English is my 4th language, and I dropped out of school at a young age. No phrasing for this bro.

+1 for wanting to dump heirlooms. -2 for wanting a permanent XP buff instead.
:axe:

It would be optional from 1-68 only. Am I back at 0 now?

It improves the quality of alt leveling significantly. A lot of people I run into in dungeons are only leveling Alts because of joyous.

I can only imagine what’s going to happen when we hit the drop off in wrath when people are raid logging, no rdf, no joyous.

The horror of finding dungeons is going to be very awful.

Why stop at 50% xp increase?

Wouldn’t 100% be better and help alts level faster and be more fun?

Or maybe even 150% to help people get alts up and raid ready?

Yeah, you know what?
Sometimes, less means more.
Less things to buy, more ways to enjoy.
