Is there something I’m missing because killing mobs for 2 rep each is not fun. Timewalking - got a 905 chest, iLvl went down one point lol. This Week in WoW Hallows End ends (Wed Nov 1) Day of the Dead starts (Nov 1 - Nov 3) World Quest Bonus Event starts (Tues Oct 31) News Shaman Challenge First two Finishers!

Discord: https://discord.thisweekintrek.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/starmike Ren Too much adulting this week - only got to level 70 in shaman challenge Update on the restore/switch faction bug INCOMING: New mic Mike Shaman to 50. 200 mounts! Hallow’s End Got 150 treats in one night. Naxxy! The trick to doing the wickerman - invisibility items. Instant vs. casting time. Trying to get the headless horseman mount - how many years has it been? This week in WoW Black Temple timewalking - dropping base i900 items, NOT i930 Hallow’s End Tricky Treats - Headless Horseman, daily quests, candy buckets. Use to buy masks, costumes for you or for pets (there’s three pug costumes and one Pepe skin), consumables, pets (Naxx, Sinister Squashling, Cursed Birman, Feline Familiar or Widget the Departed), heirloom upgrades (armor casings), and toys (horse head and tail, Little Wickerman) Wickerman (Grim Visage) buffs for baby shamans (10% exp and rep for 2 hours)!

Discord: https://discord.thisweekintrek.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/starmike Ren Shaman challenge Level 69 at 1d 6h - got through Outland, now in Northrend - 60-68 seemed very slow A funny thing happened on the way to the Alliance: Restored a previously deleted 110 horde mage, took her to Alliance and weirdness happened Mike Shaman challenge 15 to 38 in one night. Lots of dungeons and dungeon quests. Could get 2-3 levels in a run Rested XP was a waste because you blow right through it. Problem - Maraudon puts you in the dungeon, but no quests for two more levels. So, either quest or repeat dungeons. Problem with that is now you’re moving further and further away from Stormwind (Stranglethorn or Plaguelands) Had to run to Wetlands between dungeon runs. Waste of time. Not sure what else to do. Toy is 10k gold, and only gives faction flight points, not neutral. BTW: I still love Maraudon This Week in WoW Pet Xp event - 200% not 300% as originally advertised Hallow’s End starts Wednesday the 18th at 10

Chests everywhere Couldn’t get enough items for the i880 gear (not that I need it) Mobs aren’t that hard to kill. What’s with the eye quest? 20% more damage in/out?

News: What’s that thing in the sky? All of ToS is available in Raid Finder. Summer Games are out on Overwatch! Sharding? Plea to Blizz to remove sharding on NA RP servers temporarily. Approved in two hours? Yes, true - because RP peeps wanted no sharding. Still no release date for 7.3 - unlikely to happen before Gamescon in Germany (August 22) Speculation it may not release until as late as October A few more bans for selling raids/progression for RL money - Blizzard clear selling them for in-game gold is absolutely not a violation Mythic Dungeon Invitational: Clears done; 7 of top 10 clears completed by Europe teams. 2 Americas and 1 APAC (and 6 out of 10 were Horde ppbbbbttt :D ) Most popular dungeons: Vault of the Wardens (8/10), Halls of Valor (7/10), Neltharion’s lair (7/10), Black Rook Hold (6/10) Court of Stars (6/10 teams) and Eye of Aszhara (6/10) Rules deliberately vague on criteria for getting in - timing is just one factor Mike: Lunch with Thorn and Thyst Lots of thoughts on playing the priest (
