New For Hallows End 2019

Battle Hardened Heirloom Armor Casing.

Hallows End 2019

UPDATE: You can also get tricky treats at level 120 by doing your daily missions from the boat in Boralus!!!

So, with Hallows End upon us and Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing, Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing and Weathered Heirloom Armor Casing, and the new level 120 Battle Hardened Armor Casing, up for grabs at 250-450 Tricky Treats you have a lot of running around and a lot of daily quests to be doing.

If, like me, you have ten thousand alts and you want them all to experience the joys of a trip to the dentist with rotten teeth than you had better get your daily routine stream-lined. Luckily for you, I have done it here.

So, now that we're ready for the 2019 event there are a few changes from last year.

Check out the 'Hag'. I don't know about you but I'd give her one, or two, or three!

GET YOUR ALTS OUT THERE AND GRAB SHED TONS OF XP!!!

Changes in 2019
  • The Headless Horseman's loot is up to i-level 395
  • The portal in Legion Dalaran to Dalaran Center has been removed. Need to set HS to Chillwind Camp
  • No lol-rolling the garrison dailies, they now scale to level 120 for max level
  • **NEW** level 120 Heirloom token - Battle Hardened Armor Casing
Notes for low levels
If you don't have the garrison or it's not high enough level, then skip it and hearth to Dalaran after the dungeon instead, if you have not got Dalaran yet then you will not be able to get to the Wicked Witch and you could run to Undercity from Andhoral but I don't think it's worth the time and effort.

Pick up the heirloom toys to grab a basic set of flight points: To Modernize the Provisioning of Azeroth and Surviving Kalimdor.

Pre-requisites for Dailies
  • Take the Portal from Stormwind to Twilight Highlands
  • Use your flying mount to fly to Vermillion redoubt (The gryphon flies in circles and takes ages)
  • Take the flight path to Chillwind Camp and set Hearthstone there.
  • Dalaran Hearthstone.
  • Garrison Hearthstone.
  • Stormwind Hearthstone Cloak.
  • [Optional] Set up some quest accept and hand in macros to speed things up

One offs.
  • Make sure you pick up the nougat quest before running around the inns.
  • The first time you portal to Azshuna go via Dalaran
  • Whilst in New Dalaran grab “Beware of the Crooked Tree” from Duroc Ironjaw next to the candy bucket in the Legerdemain Lounge, also grab the candy bucket!
  • Grab the candy bucket from your faction Inn in Dalaran.
  • Now you can fly to Bradensbrook.
  • Then hand in the Crooked Tree quest before doing the daily.
Remember
  • As soon as you get a magic broom, put it on your action bar and bind it to your mount key - its instant cast and especially useful for cleansing Stormwind and for fighting fires in Goldshire.
  • Don't forget the Candy Bucket in Boralus!
  • For max levels Arathi may be out of phase, Zidormi is at the south of the zone.
  • You have to do emotes for the innkeepers for Jespers Nougat

Now Darkshore totally Back to Normal

Looks like that nigh elf vanguard has now gone from Lor'Danel.

Guess they've gone to hold Tyrande's hand in Storwind.

Another Alt Beats Marcus to 111

I started off today playing Ballsax the Demon Hunter. I really am doing my usual prevarication when it comes to levelling my main!!

I didn't even start him off in Kul Tiras, like yesterday I took him back to Legion to clear out alll his bags and quest log.

By 13:33 I had finished up Azshuna and 20 minutes later done the Azshara dungeon quest knocked off.


I then pop back onto Burn to do some more mining and questing in Stormsong and get his second piece of Azerite Armour.


Marcus is really getting behind!

Oops - 2 Levels Ahead of Marcus

Not learning my lesson about my main being behind the levelling of one of my own alts I continued with Burnsprocket.

First of all I took him back to Legion and either dumped pointless quests or completed certain quest lines to clear up his quest log and empty stuff from his bags.


By 15:00 he just about finished up in Legion and managed to clock up the 2000 quest achievement.

Next he moved back to Stormsong Valley and mined a load more ore.

Before I knew it he was level 112 and got the 'Got My Mind on my Money' achievement.


Burnsprocket Does Freehold

Not happy with the mage dinging 111 before Marcus I sent him into a dungeon too. He whizzed through Freehold.

He didn't managed to catch the oiled up pig but he still managed to finish up with some upgrades and a shiny achi!

Oh and he finished at leet o'clock!
