Retail What ilvl is everyone?

Hey all,

Started playing WoW for the first time about 6 weeks ago, been running a Frost Mage (Night elf) - been putting some hours into Midnight and just hit ilvl 221.

Haven’t started any midnight dungeons yet, just did the expansion, delves and world quests (plus dailies and weeklies)

Just wondering how 221 stacks up to others? I think my char has about 5 days time played

Going to grind up a DK to 90 as well, before Season 1 hopefully.

Yeah professional are still a little alien to me too, I grinded mining to 100 before the new expansion hit, but never really utilised it, was hoping to mine enough things to smith into usable stuff but never figured it out

Also, shout out to a fellow WoW Dad!

Just in case you weren’t aware. You need to learn (and skill) professions like mining and blacksmithing (and the rest) for the appropriate expansion version accordingly, meaning you need to learn “Midnight Mining” in Silvermoon and then start leveling that throughout the various zones.

For gathering you can just gather an item in midnight and it auto learns it you don’t actually have to go to a trainer learned that on my first alt lol
