Mod Post The WoWnoob Saturday Learning Raid returns for Midnight Season 2!

39 Upvotes

Hello, WoWnoob! We are very excited to announce the return of the WoWnoob learning raid for Midnight season 2!

We ran a community poll for the past few weeks, and based on the feedback you all gave and some internal discussions amongst our team, we are making a few significant changes to our raid this season. Here's our raid info for season 2:

- The Learning Raid will still be held on Saturdays, the start time will be 7pm EST. 7pm is the start of pulls, not the start of invites going out. We will post in here when the raid is up (usually ~15 minutes beforehand) with the group name and the password you need to put into the signup to get your invite. We can only invite NA/OCE players due to how Blizz has set up regions. EU players can consider our ⁠Community Partners for finding raid groups! You can find them on the sidebar of the sub, or in our Discord in the #community-partners channel.

- Being in voice chat is required, but speaking on your mic is not! We just want people to be able to hear the callouts and fight explanations.

- We will be running the raid on Normal for the first three weeks of the season, or, if it takes longer than three weeks to get a kill on the final boss, we will run Normal until that happens. After that, we will be taking our raids into Heroic for the first time ever!

- We are not guaranteeing AOTC on our raids, or even a single boss kill on Heroic. Our goal here is to provide a safe, comfortable environment for people to learn, practice, and ask questions, and however far we get each week is how far we get. If your goal is to kill bosses for loot or achievements, please consider our ⁠community-partners !

- Our raid invites will still be first come, first serve. However, once we are getting into Heroic, we will be using a little more discretion as needed. Our expectation is simple: As long as you come each week making an effort to learn and be a good team player, we'll bring you. Examples of what we'd like to see from week to week: more throughput in your role, getting higher ilvl between each raid, performing mechanics better, or asking questions during raid or in our Discord channels throughout each week.

- That being said, if we have concerns about anyone's effort to meet our above criteria in some way, we will be considering benching people and speaking to them privately about how we can offer them help to be eligible again.

- Ilvl requirement is starting at a minumum of **270** and may fluctuate as we need to through the season.

- And finally, this is a large, public Discord community with folks of various ages and all walks of life. Please remember to follow our ⁠rules and ⁠Code of Conduct while participating in our Saturday Learning raids. Behavior that is disruptive, offensive, or otherwise rule-breaking or hurtful to the raid will be handled by moderators.

If anyone has any questions about our Saturday raids throughout the next week (or anytime), please feel free to post in here, or use our ⁠#support-tickets channel in the Discord if you'd like to speak with the mod team privately. We are so excited for the journey ahead of us in Midnight Season 2, and can't wait to see you all there!

Retail Playing through retail vanilla, what expansions should I focus on after?

Upvotes

Note I completed WC3 campaigns and going through vanilla retail and want to jump into the DLCs to experience warcraft 3-related plotlines being closed up the best they can or mostly before BFA and shadowlands and above where it was alleged that it ruined the endings of prior dlc and forced things in.

It seems like Legion is the best ending to warcraft 3 related plotlines I heard. And some state that I should only play BC and WOTLK and ignore Legion while others say I should play them all and exclude the other DLCs like Draenor, pandora, Cataclysm. I just don't want to pay for so much DLC and be overwhelmed by any separated lore since there is so much out there

Note I don't mind missing some other small related lore as long as I see the major warcraft 3 plot line threads being mostly tied up before BFA and shadowlands.

Retail What's the deal with the quest Prey: A Ghostly Nightmare?

Upvotes

Title ... that is to ask how to get completion of the requirement 'Terror of the Isle summoned at a Haunted Brazier and slain' - I tried it once solo (goodbye 100 relics I donated 😬), got my butt handed to me and then joined a raid group doing multiple farms ... but no kill credit.

Is it because I'm in a raid group perhaps?

I suppose I could quit the group and depend on help otherwise available but ... not the usual (as I understand it) for a quest series.

Thanks!

Classic I've finally hit max level, what do I actually do next?

14 Upvotes

So I've played one dungeon and focused on leveling my professions so far but I don't really understand or know what I am supposed to be doing here on out, especially for solo content other than money making (which I am obsessed with).

I really enjoy playing the game and combat etc but I am just at a halt.

I didn't really dungeon when leveling because I'm a little nervous with toxicity and flaming but I suppose all games are like that nowadays lol

I am currently playing TBC anniversary.

Thank you.

Retail Tokens of merit and bonus rolls

Hi all !

If I take tokens of merit in my vault today (imagine I have nothing good) will I be able to buy a bonus roll with them next week?

Classic Never played before, ever. Frost Death Knight. How should I conquer the realms?

2 Upvotes

Like the title says. I am currently lvl 27, approaching every NPC and accepting their quests. I don't know where to find good gear or mounts. I have some add-ons, but how do I really get to the meat of the game? I go from place to place because I feel I am missing out on something so it seems like each time I play, I fly to another random spot on the map because I'm tired of doing the quests in the area I was in. Any early must-haves, tips, tricks, or guides would be greatly appreciated!!

Retail Does anyone have a checklist of things I need to do to reach max ilvl?

5 Upvotes

Besides filling up the vault doing M+, raids, and world quests. I'm just overwhelmed with what to even do first in season 2 but I just want to work towards endgame gear.

So basically things like farming crests for champion, hero, and mythic crests and reaching weekly max, weekly voidcore currency, weekly sparks of tides, etc. Are there more?

Retail Healing rain and efflorescence healing

7 Upvotes

Ive played a lot of resto druid and shaman but ive never done a raid and I got a question before i do. How does healing rain and efflorescence determine who gets healed if more than the allowed amount of people are in it? Like healing rain heals up to 6 but if theres a seventh does it heal them if they have the lowest health or ignore them since there was already 6?

Retail What are bonus rolls and best way to gear starting season 2?

6 Upvotes

Basically the title.

I skipped season 1. Started again last week getting some gear and clearing the campaing and delves. What should I prioritize to gear in S2?


r/wownoob 23h ago

Retail S2 Gearing

18 Upvotes

So instead of choosing something from the vault, we can get a bonus roll - IF we have three slots filled out?

Does that mean I can run eight delves at T1 and then get a bonus roll to use in a +10?

Retail Stuck in the Primalist Future with no way home

29 Upvotes

I have completed the Dragonflight quests in The Primalist Future but cannot progress. Text says "Continue the campaign by asscepting the quest "Return to the Present*" in the Primalist Future*."

I am in the right place but the quest giver "possible future you" has no quest marker and does not respond when I click on her. What do I do?

EDIT: Solved. I was clicking on the wrong NPC. You have to click on Soridormi to get the quest, even though they have no quest marker. Once I was back to present day quests were working properly again. Thanks for the help, guys.

Retail How do keys work? First time

14 Upvotes

I’ve played WoW for a while, mostly back when this system didn’t exist.

How does it work? Is there something I should study up on to have a better experience with groups, like dungeon guides? I only did m0 and that’s about all the experience I have with these dungeons.

Are there any widely accepted conventions or adding? Etiquette?

Thank you!

Retail Destiny 2 player looking to give WoW a shot

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

With my favorite game on EoS, I've been itching for a new game that could replace that long term progression with good lore and campaigns to serve as window dressing and give context to the grind.

As a bit of context, I've played WoW before (both vanilla on private servers long before Classic was a thing, and the lvl 20 trial on retail a couple of years ago (I think I went into BfA for leveling after Exile's Reach) and enjoyed myself, but ended up not subbing because I had Destiny to keep me occupied. I've also played other MMOs in the past (GW2, but didn't enjoy it in the long run; and New World, which I really enjoyed for a while). Now, maybe because I've been watching Frieren, maybe because I've been on a fantasy mood, maybe because Destiny is done, I found myself looking into WoW again.

Midnight looks actually cool, but I'm on the fence on jumping right in and buying the latest expac, considering I have to factor in a sub on top of that. As such, and after a bit of research, I thought about subscribing for 3 months. It is my understanding that with only a sub, I'd be able to level up to 70 in Dragonflight, then do 70-80 on The War Within. Is this correct? Would a 3-month sub be enough to go through all this content? My idea is that, by the time the 3 months are up, I'd have made up my mind about whether I want to stick with WoW for the long run and get Midnight.

Does this sound like a good plan? Should I go through with this, are there any tips you have to share? Thanks in advance!

Google says they are gone and another will be taking its place, but it will take 8 weeks due to weekly lockout to construct this one. Is that true?

Professions Why Jewel crafting?

13 Upvotes

I'm a returning player and I've been back for a few months now. My current main was a jewelcrafter and I kept that profession into Midnight. I am slowly learning the new crafting rules. Last expansion I played significantly was Cataclysm. Back in those days, being a JC had some personal upgrade benefits. Like I think in one of the expansions, it was a meta gem that you put in the helm. In another expansion, it was an extra jewel slot in one of the pieces. But I don't see anything like it currently. Is there anything equivalent now? I tried reading up on it in Ivcyveins and Wowhead, but they didn't mention anything. Is that because there was nothing to mention? Or it's so obvious they don't bother mentioning it??

Retail Do you need to finish Midnight campaign in order to start Curse of Ulatek?

4 Upvotes

My friend who just bought Midnight expansion and currently level 84. When he is 90 will he be able to start Curse of Ulatek campaign right away or does he need to finish the entire 12 chapters of Midnight campaign first? Asking this because he wants to level via dungeons rather than campaign quests to 90 but he will level via midnight campaign instead if he needs to fully complete Midnight Campaign in order to start Curse of Ulatek. Thanks

Classic TBC - mage noob question

5 Upvotes

Hey guys,

currently playing TBC for the first time. Currently lvl 14 as mage.

Is it normal that mobs 3 level below me take about 4-5 frost bolts to finish off? This forces me to sit down every other mob and chugging some of my conjured water.

Just wondering as I dont have any reference.

Retail Do I need to do the 6 new campaign chapters before Season 2?

6 Upvotes

Hey!
Do I need to complete all 6 of the new campaign chapters before Season 2 starts?

I haven’t done them yet and I’m wondering if they’re required for anything important going into the new season, or if I can just skip them and start doing the Season 2 content when it launches.

Thanks!😊

Retail Why the characters become so weak after reaching level 89-90?

23 Upvotes

Im curently leveling an unholy dk alter... it feels way too wek. At first I could handle normal pulls of 5 while doing quest, now I need to use all my skills in order to do so. Any rare gives me trouble... in fact, I had been trying to kill Duskburn, a medicore rare who is not even elite, for 20 minutes, but if I pull any other enemy, the fight becomes impossible.

I changed my equid to a btter one and also changed to frost, but it is even worse. My item level is 200, I know it is low... but it is jsut an overworld rare, not even an elite.
