I currently have 5 alts, 4 horde and 1 alliance and my main is horde. With Legion Remix around the corner, I was thinking about having 4 more alliance alts for a total of 10 characters. Is that enough you think or should I have 6 horde and 6 alliance characters total?
I take good care of my alts, but having more than 10 maybe too much I would think. Thoughts?
It kind of depends on what your goals are. I currently have 16 lvl 80 toons but most of those have an ilvl of <600 as their primary job at time was to go into stuff like the BFA dungeons for mount runs. Just depends on what your game goals are and will having multiple capped toons help towards that.
The correct answer is 0
I think one of each class makes sense. Can swap if bored or to fotm. Alliance or horde mix comes down to aesthetics/racials.
That said I have one of each class except monk, dk, warrior that i have multiples. So break my own rule.
Ive got an alliance warrior i used my bfa boost on and my first character who are warriors but i do nothing with. I prefer my zanda warrior for mog
Monk i have the one from Mop remix i like its name, nelf one i lvled for pvp when i dont want to do my undead monk
Dk i made an alliance one i made to cheese elite set mog in DF in addition to my maghar one.
I dont really like having more than one of a class though. Im not going to play 2 monks in a season.
I’ve got over 40 spread across 3 servers. My PvP ones for my murdery friends, my RP ones for my RP friends, the ones I like to play, and one low level alt on a low pop server for when I just need to do something like look for a heavily farmed pet or rare.
I want them to help my main get stuff such as mounts/mogs/pets. I take good care of my alts, for example all my alts are ilvl 655+ with the belt. I’m leaning to have a roaster of 10 characters total but don’t know if that’s enough or not. I know I’m light on alliance side and for sure I’ll level 4 more alts there.
lemme know when you get to 60…lol
Ideally it would be zero, but few of us can live up to that standard.
It’s entirely up to you. I typically only have 2 or 3 max level toons. Then I have one of every class at the prior expansion level cap leveled in the pre expansion events. With all the xp buffs we had recently I have one of every class at 80
I also have a guildie that has to delete 80’s to make room for new ones
Edit-but as someone else said I don’t try to keep up with all my 80’s. About 3 is my limit
Honestly, it depends on the player. I have 8 characters. This hunter, Pally, Priest, DH. Then another Hunter, Warrior, Lock and Rogue. The last 3 still lvl 70. And rarely use any of those last 4, but nice for farming events like the past one.
I get by mainly on my first 2. The hunter and if I have time, the Pally.
What you identify requires different levels of investment.
If you like playing them in current content, that will significantly restrict how many alts you should create. For years I had one of each class that I would basically get a max open world gear set by expansions end. It ended up being too much so now I only do it for 3-5.
If you don’t care about current content (you only need about 400 ilevel to crush most BFA and SL raids at level 80, and can be basically naked for pre-Legion) to farm pets, mounts, and mogs, then create as many as you want.
There are some mogs that are unique to Alliance and Horde, but many that are drops can be collected by either faction so you don’t necessarily need to make other faction alts unless you want to wear them.
I think I’m just gonna level 4 more alliance alts, that way I’ll have 5 horde and 5 alliance characters. 9 alts and a main I can manage well, I could have more but the down side some alts well fall behind and I don’t want that. Thanks all (Yeah zero :))
Got to have at least every class.
It depends on what you want to use alts for. If you are farming rares for mounts/mog for example, having more is better.
I have over 20 alts of varying classes, but aside from more chances at items I want, it means I can enjoy mogging all my alts to look just how I want. I have 8 druids, so that means 8 chances to use 8 different looks. Some druids are more nature themed, while some might look more rogueish, monki or even sport some DH themes.
They don’t have to be heavily geared, but played enough to have at least a basic understanding of what they do.
And you can swap if Blizzard overnerfs a class or if you get bored. It’s also more than enough to cover all professions, both crafting and gathering.
I have one of each class except priest and monk, but I really only ever use this character and my druid. The rest are used for farming runs when the need arises but that’s about it.
I have 2 warbands that I primarily concentrate on; 4 characters each alliance and horde.
I have a total of 20 level 80 characters, which I have set as an arbitrary limit for myself. If I ever decide to level another to 80, then one existing 80 will have to go.
I have a bunch of others at various levels, but those are mostly for farming events and such like.
29 Alliance, 25 Horde. 2 of every class with 1 per spec, 1 evoker per side. Extra warrior, hunter, rogue, and warlock on Alliance as Dracthyr.
For me, the perfect number of alts is 4… One of each armor type.
However, I currently have 24 characters. Some of these are Pandaria Remix characters that will be deleted and reused for Legion Remix. Some are just older characters that I keep around for reasons but really never play.
I have had expansions with a ton (WoD, Legion) and expansions with barely any (BFA, Dragonflight, Shadowlands) and it always comes down to how sticky the expansion is for me. At the peak of my playing time during late Wrath/early Cata I had 3 characters, 2 with some IRL friends from college and 1 that I used to play with a group of freinds I had carried over from another game.
For TWW I only had 1 max level before taking a LONG break, but because of the XP boosts I have gone from 1 to 6 max level characters heading into S3 and still havent decided which one will be my “main” or even what type of content I want to focus on. But I have choices and gear catchup is pretty straight forward.
