I don’t really do raids anymore, haven’t seriously since WoD. Have never done mythic+ dungeon content before. I saw this mount and said, why not. Easy peasy. Did quit playing the game 6 months ago or so. Came back with a pretty low item level.
First step, gearing up! I got the junk to make a 291 legendary, cost me like 20k. NP. DiD all that new zones junk to get the 265 belt. A ton of 233 stuff along the way. I can run heroic dungeons! Ran 4 or 5 of those for 249 ilvl stuff. Jumped into Mythic0.
Took several declines along the way, but managed to get into group after group after group. If I knew mythic0 was this level of stupidly easy gear I woulda done them years ago. Ok, into some LFR. Easy again. Few drops yay. Rocking a 263 ilvl, missed week 1 of FATED. Onto week 2!
Clean raid start to finish no wipes, done.
Wait around for week 3! Ran a few more mythic0 to flush out missing set slots. Even gave mythic+ 2 a go. Finished in time, 0 issues. ilvl 270. Week 3 pops up, going pretty well till Anduin. Wipe Wipe WIpe WIpE wIpE… lol disband.
So I was going write that off as a loss. Screw it though, I’ve lead guilds, i’ve lead raids, sure it has been 10 years. I pop my raid up on the custom finder and fill it up to max. I did only grab people who were 265+ and that was my choice. The last raid I was in grabbed everyone who was 230+ and I saw how that ended. Either way, raid ran flawlessly. Another week done.
Recycled weeks yay! Week 1 FATED is back around for a second time. I picked up my token thing for a free trinket of my choice and went with the spiffy one that adds a crazy ton of versatility. Join a random raid, completed!
Lime Flavored Jell-O Kitty is mine!
Honestly props to blizzard for making this normal+ reward. It got me into content I would have never bothered with otherwise. Mythic+ dungeons and normal raiding included. I only bother with LFR if the set looks cool in the recolor it gets (wtf blizz stop with the greens).
As a 100% solo player for the past 5 years, I can say, stop being lazy this thing is easy to get, if you want it, go get it! Stop using anxiety as an excuse to already. I’m on meds and in therapy for it. Get help if you have that many issues. Read a guide or watch a video on how to do each boss, no one will even notice you exist in the raid unless you choose to be stupid and go into them blindly and screw it up. Even then unless it is a complete wipe barely anyone will care!
Now, to get the jailer mount in heroic… and not pay gold xD
