Haha, oh my gourd. The armory poses for monks are hilarious. I don’t know if it’s all monks or just panda monks or what. But what the eff were they thinking??
Maybe you guys can help me… I just started playing again after 4 years off. I chose Alchemy as a profession. I have been wondering about how specialization works. I have read about how they changed the requirements to specialize, but I can’t for the life of me find any info on how the process works now.
Do I need to be lvl 90? Do I need 600 skill? Where does the quest come from? What is required for each of the three options? None of the wow info sites are updated yet.
Thanks.
I thought so as well. However, I discovered that my gnome mage could simply walk through Stormwind Stockade a few times and was guaranteed to get 2+ stacks of wool by the time he was finished. 20 minutes later you’ll have run through the stockades several times and will have many stacks of wool.
I left off with Duskwood guy with the spiders. I also did the same thing you did with the Emerald Turtle in the Jade Forest. I didn’t pay attention to the pet lvl when clicking it, once I got into the battle I was like ABORT ABORT FORFEIT BATTLE.
Pokemon wasn’t actually the first of its kind, just the most popular. There was also Monster Rancher, for example.
I’m Japanese-American, and the thought of having a pet Tanuki is overwhelming. Oh, well. I’ll keep grinding Team Rocket Bot. (Just made that up. Maybe I’ll use it. Or not.)
Hey, can pet teams even be named? Probably not. Shame.
Anyway, I suppose the fact that Pandaria is faux-China is why the Tanuki isn’t a humanoid race in the game. Henge yokai would be awesome, as NPC races at least. (I mean, we did werewolves, right?)
On the subject of wool being about as expensive as silk. There’s a very narrow window of opportunity to get wool while you’re leveling up these days. It’s very difficult to hang around places where wool drops without out leveling the area rapidly. I have an easier time gathering silk and netherweave while leveling than I do wool.
Must be!
On another note, I have the ‘chef’ title, so of course she’s wearing it. 
Do you have a high level? Send them just outside the Twilight Highlands, in front of the skeleton on the road. Let me grab the locs. There is a neverending stream of orcs and dragonkin doing battle. Even better if your high level is a skinner. They drop TONS of linen and wool.
I also triggered an attack on the main city in Westfall. And now every time I got there there’s an endless parade of Defias rogues attacking. You can slaughter them to your heart’s content and collect low level cloth.
But it makes sense to me now that even if you’re 85th level it takes as much time to farm wool as it does to farm better cloth, because you can only smash and collect and move on so fast.
Yup. But AoE looting will help. (Trust me. I spent days grinding basilisk eyeballs to shift Shattrath allegiance from Aldor to Scryer. I saved myself about 1/3 of the loot effort by virtue of the AoE loot radius encompassing at least one extra dead basilisk.)
And Glyph of Fetch… completely beyond amazing. Loot kills at range while running past them and getting further “upstream” towards the next few kills. Huge timesaver. It’s good to be a hunter.
Awesome! Must get that on my hunters.
Weasels! We have weasels! (Okay, it says “mink”, but dammit, they’re weasels!
It occurs to me that City of Heroes (RIP) has had this for years. Sorta. As you play the game you unlock “gladiators”. These gladiators are various NPC mob types from the game. You can go to the Arena and assemble a team of the various gladiators you’ve collected, and pit them against another player’s gladiators.
Question: I’ve been leveling a pandaren mage. Fercrissake, is there a First Aid trainer anywhere in the pandaren starting zone? I have not found one anywhere.
There’s a guy who trains major professions in the village where you find Shu (the water spirit). Maybe he teaches secondary too?
If not, I noticed a LOT of vendors and trainers and stuff in completely random spots around the Temple of Five Suns (or whatever it was called). Funnily enough, none of them showed up on the minimap with Track <x> on, so if you were trying to find them you wouldn’t notice them on your minimap. Overall though it may just be easier to wait until you hit Org/SW (for minor professions, for obvious reasons I recommend getting gathering profs right away).
Though I don’t remember anything on the Wandering Isle dropping Linen anyway, so it may be moot.
No. I went over the primary dude’s menu twice. No secondary profs until you choose factions.
Dang. There have been a couple instances where some bandages would have come in handy.
There are, but not many. The virmen, at least, do occasionally.
I was disappointed that there weren’t more things to skin, though. You can’t skin the virmen or the hozen, and those are most of what you fight.
My Belf DK has done that since Cat at least, probably WOTLK I think.
I’m telling ya.
I made a panda rogue for my alliance panda. Am now missing my ability to roll downroad a piece.
It’s a minor glyph, even. You don’t have to cheat yourself of any actual combat-effective glyphs.
The only proviso: If you want to do the “running down the road while Barky retrieves the loot” thing, you can’t be moving when loot window from the pet’s looting attempt pops up. Otherwise, you won’t get the loot window. (It’s the same mechanism as not being able to loot for yourself while moving.)
The pet’s loot is a 1/2 second cast, so you can keep moving the whole time the pet is running to the kill, and for a good bit of the cast bar of the loot attempt (which shows up on the pet’s unit frame, if you’re configured to show that). Just stop running when the pet’s loot cast is almost done, and the loot window will pop up as if you had been doing the looting yourself. Compatible with auto-looting, too.
As I mentioned, pet looting is subject to loot AoE, so if you have a cluster of kills within about 15 yards radius, you can loot all of them by fetch-looting the one in the center of the mass. Scary cool.
Umm… let’s see… if you’re clever, you can time it to loot something yourself close by while the pet is running to do his fetch loot (cast fetch, jog over, loot, finish looting, pet loot happens). Also very cool.
Just don’t be doing anything else when the pet’s loot cast finishes. No combat actions, no looting yourself (with the loot window still open), no movement.
If I recall correctly, casting Fetch from a mount dismounts.
And Fetch has a 50-yard radius, apparently, so if you’re running away from the last kill with Barky running over to fetch, you may have to stop short or you’ll get an “Out of Range” error.
Look for macros in Wowhead or other sites for targeting for fetch looting.
Sweet! Thank you very much.
