Fun things to do in Retail: Before and After max level. Not the usual?

So raiding isn’t out of the question, but I’d prefer not to have a set time to play. PVP is more doable. Aside from those two popular things. What can I do?

I’m a returning player btw, so for instance I love or loved fishing. But now I hear it and all proffs are broken up into expacs. So say I’m lvl 20…what expac professions can/able to get? And how do I know? To me this is confusing. But I guess it makes sense and is less stressful.

Another thing. Transmog. Brand new account. Where to start? And when? Lvl 60?

I have so many questions…classic don’t get me wrong brings the memories back, but with all that is going on at blizzard I feel its up to us old players to get on retail and say FIX or do not. Depending on what it is. Also with Microsoft I personally have high hopes for the games future but again if I don’t know what is going on and how things work, what good am I?

Thanks, and please be helpful and polite. =) Also good morning from the east coast USA.

You can start professions in any expansion. You will only get so far at level 20. You will have to level up to the maximum for any expansion to get all the recipes/patterns and reach max skill level.

right but say at level 20, my question is (i’m guessing) its vanilla? So when would I start BC,Wrath,etc? Thanks for answering.

At level 10 you can start any expansion now. If you don’t have a 50 previously, you’ll be stuck in BfA content. After you have a character reach 50, you can have subsequent ones talk to Chromie at the embassy to choose where to go.

There we go! Now I get it, lol. Sorry. I do have a few higher lvls so chromie should be around. Thanks again.

I know there’s also the Hero’s Call boards if you can’t do anything with Chromie yet. Are there major differences between the two experiences, as far as you know? I only started playing last month. :woozy_face:

Two experiences, classic and retail? TONS. Less adventuring in retail so far, more “chosen one” stuff. Classic is just a pure old school MMO that probably won’t ever be topped but by one company, Blizzard. When they get their heads on straight. lol. That’s MY opinion. I’m here just to help them and those around along and hopefully have fun too. As far as retail now versus before I left, yes differences too.

Professions are beyond confusing. It used to be 1 to 300. Then next expansion like 300 to 350. And so on. For transmog you can solo most raids and dungeons at level 50 and up. Not mythic recent raids but thats really only a fraction of the total appearances you cant get.

Would you really want to grind almost 1000 points in a profession before you could craft relevant things for that expansion?

Cause that’s why professions were changed.

The most fun I’ve had in WoW in a long time was leveling new characters through Legion in Chromie time. Every class has its own order hall in Legion and can get a unique class mount. There’s also a feat of strength achievement for completing all 12 order halls. I highly recommend this!
