Is it normal that I just went from 40 to 54 in an afternoon? This seems VERY fast from what I’m used too. Also, where’s the gear?

This doesn’t feel like wow, I enjoy it but it’s not at all what I remember. I haven’t seen gear drop, what do disenchanters do? Is that still a thing?

I have zero clue what I’m doing lol I have a billion questions and don’t even know what to ask, it’s confusing but not at the same time.

I haven’t even looked at my old professions. Almost scared too.

    Very normal, the game isn’t the leveling it’s the endgame content. There is so much to speed up leveling it’s a little ridiculous sometimes but it speeds you along to the current xpac and that’s where the meat is.

    Gear is random but everything outside of a few items are able to be traded - ask if someone got something you can use, but you’ll very likely out level it quickly. Just soak up what you can as you can.

    Heirlooms are best if you got them. They’re easy to get and upgrade and you’ll wear the same set until 50 or 60 or something.

    Xpac enchanting is broken by xpac. You don’t have to level classic through current, just the bracket you want. You can go straight to Dragonflight enchanting if you want.

    This xpac is some of the most fun I’ve had since wrath. It’s not perfect but it’s very good (IMO).

      It’s a real shame that it is this way. There is an incredible amount of content just put on fast forward so you can grind the latest end game tasks.

        I used to spend hours on Warcraft Lore videos and books. This is so sad.

        I was an “hardcore” player during WOTLK and Cataclysm, but quit raiding in WOD. I skipped Legion (which I regret) and BFA and then came back for Shadowlands and Classic but ultimately quit playing completely.

        The game was awesome, and its lore fantastic, but it lost its magic. I don’t know how to fix it.

      Lol I have only put 3 new pieces of gear on from 40-54 and I didn’t even put talent points in yet.

      Just learned about the new crafting system too. Ahhhh I gotta specialize now? Can’t just craft all the fun :( so many changes.

      I didn’t even buy dragonflight yet as I wanted to get my toons upto 60 before pulling trigger. Won’t take long at this pace lol

      Thx for the words
