In this guide, I will be talking about Cataclysm Skinning gold farming, which means we'll be using a Potion of Treasure Finding. The tiny treasure chests you'll be receiving contain items that sell amazingly well. So, grab a potion off the auction house if you don't already have one and then hop in the portal to Uldum.

Get To Uldum

If you're unfamiliar with how to get to Uldum, just head over to your faction's Earthshrine and use the portal. Once you arrive, be sure to chat with Zidormi to make sure you're in the correct timeline. You'll see her location marked on the map with a small chat bubble when you talk to her. If you're prompted to return to the current time, you'll know you're in Cataclysm, so just stay put. However, if you get a prompt asking about Uldum during the time of Cataclysm, be sure to switch to it as it's the only way you'll see the mobs you'll be farming.

Potion of Treasure Finding

Now that we know we're in the correct timeline, let's head down south to the location marked on the map, which is located between Neferset City and the Lost City of Tol'vir. Don't forget to drink your Potion of Treasure Finding, as it will play a big role in your overall profits. I'll wait to open up all of the tiny treasure chests until the end of this short 5-minute farming session.

I think potions typically go for a little over 200 WoW Dragonflight Gold a piece, but they last for an hour, and you'll see that they more than paid for themselves just in the short time I was farming.

How To Skinning?

Notice the first few pulls where I'm trying to use my regular abilities to kill the young Crocolisk. But it doesn't work very well, so just use one of your AOE abilities, and the entire farm will run more efficiently. You'll also want to make sure you're waiting for the slowing debuff you receive to expire, as opening the next egg cluster before it expires will result in Crocolisk that you'll be unable to kill and skin. For this reason, I don't recommend using a Darkmoon Firewater potion to speed up your skinning, as you'll likely just be waiting for that debuff to expire.

You could only received one BOE pattern during this short farming session, a lot of BOEs typically drop from this farm. You'll get next to nothing vendoring them, and if you're not into the transmog farm thing, just put them up on the auction house for a fraction of the current market price. You'll likely not sell them all right away, but they will sell a lot quicker. Not only will you have people leveling alts that will buy the stuff, but people flipping things on the auction house will be buying up the items as well.

In an hour of farming, you'll likely make between 250 and 1,000 extra gold using this strategy. The drop rates for the tiny treasure chest and the BOE can vary greatly, so just keep grinding and the result will be good. So, just hang out for a few more minutes, and then open up all of the tiny treasure chests and stomachs gathered through skinning.

I will give you an ultimate Guardian Druid Mage Tower guide in WoW Dragonflight. You’re about to tackle the Highlord's return, where your mission is to defeat 2 bosses: Inquisitor Variss and Highlord Kruul. This battle is no walk in the park, as it’s split into 2 challenging phases. First, you’ll face Variss and his pesky minions. After taking him down, you’ll square off against the final boss, Highlord Kruul. Prepare for enough WOW Dragonflight Gold if you get into trouble in the boss fight.

The real trick in this challenge is to stay on the platform while battling these tough bosses and their underlings. Don’t worry. you’re not alone. You’ve got allies like Velen and Kor'vas Bloodthorn. Velen's Holy Ward, which pops up every 30 seconds, is a total game-changer. It fully heals you, clears debuffs, and stuns enemies for 5 seconds. Kor'vas mainly deals damage, and in this intense battle, every little bit helps. It’s crucial to keep both NPCs alive to avoid having to start over. This challenge ranks among the game's toughest. You need to constantly watch your debuffs, move skillfully, and strike hard.

Inquisitor Variss

Phase 1 begins as soon as you step onto the platform. Your main objective is to defeat Inquisitor Variss and his summoned mobs. Be alert for his Aura of Decay, Drain Life, and Mind Rend. It’s critical to keep Aura of Decay stacks under 5 and interrupt Drain Life quickly, or he'll recover his health.

You’ll also encounter the Tormenting Eye, Smoldering Infernal, and Nether Horror. The Tormenting Eye's Inquisitive Stare can knock you off the platform, so face it when it casts. Use Moonfire against it, as it’s immune to physical damage. The Smoldering Infernal's Smash attack can also throw you off, but it inflicts damage on itself with the Fel Resonation debuff, so focus on dodging its primary attack. Nether Horrors will go after Velen, but they’re weak and can be easily eliminated. Try using Holy Ward to interrupt Drain Life if needed. Don't waste your interrupts on Mind Rend. Always protect Velen. Deal with the smaller mobs before refocusing on Variss. With some practice, you’ll find Phase 1 becoming easier as you improve in dodging and managing debuffs.

Highlord Kruul

After Variss, you'll face Highlord Kruul. The Tormenting Eye won't appear anymore, but the other mobs will continue to challenge you. Kruul has 3 main abilities: Annihilate, Nether Stomp, and Twisted Reflection, with the latter requiring a quick interrupt since it significantly heals Cruel. Use Holy Ward to reset the stacks of Annihilate and minimize heavy damage. Keep the Nether Horrors away from Velen. Avoid Nether Stomp to ensure you stay on the platform.

Although challenging, it’s unlikely that the Guardian Druid Mage Tower will be nerfed. Some classes and specializations might find it a bit more manageable. Conquer this challenge, and you'll earn a stylish transmog set for Guardian Druids. The highlight is the Fel WearBear Druid form, a symbol of your victory over one of the game's most demanding challenges.

Completing all 7 Mage Tower encounters rewards you with the Soaring Spelltome mount, a rare and prestigious achievement. If you’re eager to unlock these rewards faster, check out our Timewalking and Mage Tower boost. Let our experienced pros handle the challenge for you while you kick back and enjoy the loot.

I’ll be showing you 5 ways to easily make enough gold for a WoW Token, so that you do not have to pay money. If you can relate to struggling to pay for a WoW Token each month, or if you’re just looking for some easy income while you play the game. If you’re not too much of a gold farmer, let me give you 5 tips on how you can easily afford your WoW Token every single month.

5. Miscellaneous Items

The first thing I want to highlight in this guide are a couple of miscellaneous items that sell for quite a bit. I’ll be highlighting the Big Red Raygun Toy, which you can find on the Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh. It may also help to turn on War Mode so that there is less competition here, because sometimes people camp it.

But basically, as I’ve shown there, you’ll get dismounted when coming near. So just make sure you have a Slow Fall or Glide if you’re a Demon Hunter or anything like that. Then just come on over and kill a little guard, then talk with Doctor Weevil. Now, he can drop the Big Red Raygun toy. Basically, end him and then loot, and you have a 3% chance at the toy.

Next up on the list, we have the Hosen Peace Pipe. This is a miscellaneous item dropped by one mob, a rare spawn named Scritch. Just come on over here in Kun-Lai Summit, and he spawns in any of these little caves. He has about a 10% chance to drop the Hosen Peace Pipe, and that is worth about 10 to 20K, and it sells quite quickly. So make sure to give this one a try as well.

4. Vendor Flips

Next on the list, we have a couple of vendor flips. Now, this one is the Frozen Orb vendor flip in the Northrend Dalaran. Just talk to the vendor, buy these Frozen Orbs, or check the auction house if they might be cheaper. Then, fly on over to this side over here. We’ll be talking to a vendor who basically gives you the chance to exchange one Frozen Orb for any of the Eternal materials. Now, just make sure to check the auction house, but this could be an absolute gold mine, and it’s literally infinite, which is why I love these vendor flips. So make sure to check this out as well.

And I thought I’d mention this one as well in Pandaria. Same kind of thing, basically. You’ll bring Spirits of Harmony and exchange them for Pandaren materials. The main ones that you’ll be after in terms of profit will most likely be the Trillium Ore, which will be on the second page. That’s usually the best. But the Ghost Iron Ore or the Prismatic Scales can also be really nice. You can do this as many times as you like. So check your auction house.

3. Battle Pets

At number 3, we have any sort of battle pets farming. Now, the one in the background is my absolute favorite to farm for battle pets. At the farm in particular, we are in the very top of Feralas in Kalimdor, and we are farming for the Emerald Whelpling as well as the Sprite Darter Hatchling.

I will skin these mobs, and that is because they can give the Green Whelp Scales. Now, this is a pretty rare material because it only comes from a few mobs, this being one of them. So make sure to definitely have a skinner over here, and this will really increase the WoW Dragonflight Gold per hour.

There are tons of different battle pet farms, such as various raids. You have things like all the other Whelplings like the Azure Whelpling, Bronze Whelpling, Dark Whelpling, Crimson Whelpling, and you also have the Firefly.

2. Transmog

At number 2, we have transmog. The reason I’m only putting this at number 2 is because for the average person, making a WoW token per month can seem a little difficult. I don’t believe that transmog is the best route for a new player, just wanting to afford their token each month.

I think that transmog farming is better for someone who is a kind of all-in with gold making, and that is their main enjoyable thing to do in WoW. Because you need to put in a lot of hours to build up your transmog auction house, you need over a thousand pieces of transmog in order to get very good sales.

But for the average person making a WoW token a month, I don’t believe it’s the best just because of how much time you have to play, specifically farming for transmog, and that may not be some people’s cup of tea. But if you put the time in, transmog is definitely super rewarding.

1. Gathering

Coming in at number 1, which should not be too much of a surprise to most of you out there, is gathering. Now, by gathering, I mean primarily Mining and Herbalism, but you could exchange Herbalism for Skinning. I always believe that Mining is the best, especially for old World content. So basically, you have to put in maybe like 7 to 10 hours a month of gathering alone, and you should easily have enough gold for your WoW Token.

We have things like the Vashj'ir farm for Obsidian and the Azshara's Veil. Then we also have Wintergrasp for Titanium Ore, and we also have the Whiptail farm in Uldum, Storm Silver Ore in Kul Tiras. There are tons of great gathering farms with variety, and with the amount of time per month that you have to put in to make enough for a WoW Token. I highly believe it is the most efficient use of your time.

So that wraps it up for my top 5 tips for making enough gold for a WoW Token each month. If you implement some of these tips, or even if you just do one or 2 of them, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem earning enough for your WoW.

This is my top 5 list as far as farming transmog in dungeons in WoW Dragonflight. I figured this guide would give you quite a good start if you’re getting into transmog or if you’re just looking to change it up. Maybe you get some unique items you don’t have on your auction house. So, I hope you get some inspiration to farm some of these.

Make sure that you have enough WoW Dragonflight Gold and then let's go over these 5 dungeons.

5. Shadowfang Keep

Coming in at number 5, we have Shadowfang Keep. Now, Shadowfang Keep is more of a super item kind of farm. There are a bunch of zone drops that drop quite frequently that are not for the super rare variety type. It’s pretty simple. Just do a full clear.

Don’t go all the way to the last boss. I’ll show you where I stop ahead of time. But the notable items from this dungeon are things like the Shadowfang. Obviously, you have the Gloomshroud Armor, Assassin’s Blade, Necrology Robes. You have the Guillotine Axe, Face Smasher, Night Reaver, Magefist Gloves and so on.

As far as the green transmogs, there’s not a lot here. You got like the Buccaneer’s Vest. Silver-Thread Armor is decent, but overall, you’re really after those BOE blues, and that’s why it’s only number five on this list, even though I love farming it.

4. Scarlet Monastery

At number 4, we have the Scarlet Monastery. Now, I know some people love Scarlet Monastery. I am not the biggest fan of farming it, but I do believe it is quite great. So, the main thing you’re after here are obviously some sets of the green. So, you have some decent sets like the Elegant set, Hyperion set, some other green sets like that.

But the main reason we are farming the Scarlet Monastery is for the BOE blue drops that can only drop from here in particular. And there is a big list of these. So, I probably won’t list all of them, but we have things like the Cobalt Crusher, the Sunblaze Coif, the Butcher, Silver-Blade, the Bear Robes, which is personally one of my favorites, the Fight Club, Watchman Pauldrons. The Scarlet Boots are amazing. You have a super rare with the Archon Chest Piece.

There’s a ton of amazing drops from Scarlet Monastery, not to mention the loot table is a bit broken. So, since this is like a mid-classic level dungeon, it shouldn’t drop endgame classic World epics and World drops. But Scarlet Monastery drops the Skullflame Shield and things like that.There are also The Cloudkeeper Legplates drops, Orb of Deception. It’s not supposed to be dropping items like that, but it does, and it’s not that. That’s been something that’s like an exploit or anything like that. That’s kind of how Blizzard coded it.

3. Razorfen Kraul

Coming in at number 3 is good old Razorfen Kraul. Now, if you’ve been a transmog farmer for any period of time, you’ve probably stepped foot in Razorfen Kraul. But some people with more established auction houses tend to overlook it.

Now, there are a bunch of RFK BOE blue drops. You got like Avenger's Armor. You got the Black Knight. You got the Pugilist Bracers, Pysan's Old Greatsword. There’s just a ton of great ones, not to mention all of the green sets. This dungeon is really good for filling up your auction house with decently good value greens. You got things like the Spike Chain set. You got the Raincaller set, the Sentry set, Slayer set, Pathfinder set, the Doomsayer set.

Even if you did like a hundred runs of this dungeon, you’d still have some gear you didn’t have, so it’s absolutely fantastic. Don’t forget, towards the end of the dungeon, as we’ll pull up here in just a second, there is an enormous Bullfrog. Always make sure to kill this frog. This frog has a 100% chance to spawn in the dungeon, and he has a great chance of dropping a BOE blue item or a frog pet.

2. Sunwell

Now, coming in at number 2, we have Sunwell. I love farming Sunwell. There are tons of BOE World drop patterns you can get from Sunwell. Now, this is a raid. Make sure to not kill any raid bosses or you will be locked to the instance for a week on that character.

There are a ton of Engineering schematics of goggles that, with the new, not brand new but the recent patch included a bunch of cosmetic goggles for people to craft them, thus making these patterns surge in price. There are tons of them for like 30, 50, 70k. If we didn’t get an engineering pattern, we did get a zone pattern, which there is plenty of for Crafting Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring. Overall, there are tons of patterns.

You also have the chance at Felsteel Longblade, Blade of Wizardry, all those great BOE epic World drops. Like I said, the transmog isn’t great in this dungeon. You’re mainly here looking for those epic patterns. We did get a world drop, but it wasn’t a great one. But I love farming Sunwell to gather those patterns and World drops. It’s absolutely amazing.

1. Razorfen Downs

And coming in at number 1, we have Razorfen Downs. Now, Razorfen Downs is my absolute favorite dungeon to farm for transmog. You have tons of BOE blues that are dungeon-specific, as well as some great world drop patterns such as Rich Purple. You have the Lesser Parry Enchant, the Star Belt, things like that. You also have a good chance of the Saltstone set, the Jade set, the Bloodforge set.

You also have some great epics as well like Nightblade and things like that. Now, make sure to loot this pouch. You get a pattern for the Goldthorn Tea. It is a cooking pattern. I sell this probably once a week or 2 for 1, 10k each. And that pouch will spawn every single run. So, if you’re doing a lockout of 10, make sure to pick up a couple and just keep them in your bank because I’ve already sold like three of them in probably like a month. And it’s just free gold because it spawns every single time.

That is my top five dungeon-only transmog farms.

This is a WoW Dragonflight Mage Tower guide for Marksmanship Hunter. Let’s start with my talent tree. You can also find it in the description. It has two bosses that alternate, which is active in each phase. This happens twice, with a new mechanic added each time. After each boss has been fought twice separately, they will engage you at once, making five phases in total. Make sure you have enough WoW Dragonflight Gold and then let's dive into this guide.

Phase 1

Let’s get straight into the fight itself. You will start this fight by kiting Karam Magespear. Do not let him hit you. His melee ability, Rising Dragon, will take you to very low health or even one-shot you. It’s best to kite him in large circles. Always stay beyond 10 yards from him, even if it means interrupting Aimed Shots. Keep your Concussive Shot active all the time. Karam gains a stacking movement speed buff throughout the phase, so your damage does matter here. Keep up your standard single-target rotation, using every Disengage and Aspect of the Cheetah to gain as much distance as possible.

Phase 2

Phase 2 begins when Karam reaches 33% of health. He will go immune and start healing back to full while Raest Magespear starts to attack you. Do not Counter Shot his Shadow Bolt. Doing so will cause him to move, and keeping him in the center of the arena is helpful. Raest will summon packs of one large shadowy fiend and several small shadowy vestiges, which do nothing except move toward you. Like Karam, they will almost one-shot you if they get too close. You can use Tar Trap or Binding Shot on them and AOE them down with your AOE rotation. Make sure to keep targeting Raest despite this.

Phase 3

In phase three, Karam begins chasing you again. Raest no longer summons small ads, although the existing ones don’t despawn and will continue to attack you until you finish them off. A new mechanic in this phase is the Hand from Beyond, a priority target. As soon as it spawns, you must switch and focus it down to prevent it from casting multiple Grasp from Beyond and overwhelming you. Continue kiting and DPS Karam while dealing with hands until Karam again reaches 33% triggering.

Phase 4

Karam goes immune again, and Raest again begins to attack you while summoning Shadowy Vestiges and Shadowy Friends. Hand from Beyond is not active in this phase. A new ability to deal with in this phase is The Rune of Summoning. You must stand in this purple rune and soak it until it disappears.

Otherwise, a thing of nightmares will spawn and kill you. A trick you can use in this phase is to soak the runes with your pet. You will see a “Move to” command on your pet action bar. Keybind this, then use it to move your pet to runes to soak.

Phase 5

You will simultaneously be dealing with Karam, Raest, and all abilities they have from previous stages. Your major goal is to DPS Raest as hard as possible while kiting Karam, soaking the runes, and dealing with Hands from Beyond. Raest has a lot of HP, and this phase will get very dangerous towards the end. Keep to your priority of clearing the runes, killing hands, and damaging Raest.

If Raest is very low, you can just ignore hands and try to survive them with your Defensive Cooldowns or interrupt them with Counter Shot and continue your DPS. After Raest reaches 0% HP, the encounter will end. You do not have to kill Karam. It’s not a very complex encounter. Stay calm, keep distance, and switch to your primary targets.

This is a transmog farm that we will be running in WOW Dragonflight, but the claim is that the item we’re farming is highly sought after. That item is the Felflame Inferno Shoulderpads. There are three different versions that can drop: the green one, drops from the heroic raid, Argus, the Burning Throne. There are other colors that drop from normal and Mythic as well. Make sure that you have enough WoW Dragonflight Gold, then let’s hop into this. 

You’ll want to head over to your faction’s portal room and then hop into the portal to Azsuna. If you have the Dalaran Hearthstone, use it instead, as it will take you directly to Dalaran. You’ll find it in your toy box. There are other guides that have said that there are even more colors available, but our goal here today is to see if we can get any pair of these things to drop and to see if they will sell.

Once in Dalaran, head over to the landing and use the Lightforged Beacon to teleport to Argus. If you don’t see the beacon, you’ll need to complete some quests to unlock it. If I’m remembering correctly, it didn’t take long to complete the necessary quest to get to Argus, but there will be more quests to complete before you’ll be able to get to the Antoran Wastes Zone, which is where the raid we’ll be farming exists. If you need it, check out the link in the description for help to unlock The Argus Zone. Now hop down and use the Navigation Console to teleport to Hope’s Landing.

The entrance to Argus, the Burning Throne, can be a little tricky to find, so just follow the route I take here. Head up the hill and head through the area with all the spiders. We identified an area crucial to getting our troops to the front lines. We need to find the infested with demon spiders, burn out those nests. You’ll then want to head down to the Fel Reaver and hang a left. Be sure to stay out of it as much as possible as it does of damage.

Zone in, kill the first few trash mobs, and then run out, reset, and repeat. You’ll be able to run this 10 times within an hour before being locked out of the instance. You may want to check out the Nova Instance Tracker add-on, as it will keep tabs on when instance unlocks will clear. But we cannot hold out long. You must disable the defenses. You need to fight with Prophet.

The appearance is quite appealing, giving us a good probability of these items being sold. Let’s see what they’re going for at the auction house. It will be almost 79k, which isn't bad for around 30 minutes of work. While I didn’t get the amount that others had claimed, prices are always changing, so I’m definitely calling this one a success. I do recommend giving this one a try, as it does appear to be a legit transmog farm.

Get ready for the Guardian Druid Mage Tower guide in WoW Dragonflight. You’re up against the Highlord’s Return in this challenge, where you have to beat two bosses, Inquisitor Variss and Highlord Kruul. This is one tough fight with two phases to get through. First up, you’ll deal with Variss and his annoying mobs. Once he’s down, you’re on to the final boss, Highlord Kruul.

The real trick here is staying on the platform while fighting these bosses and their minions. But you’ve got some backup: Velen and Kor'vas Bloodthorn. Velen’s Holy Ward pops up every 30 seconds; it fully heals you, clears debuffs, and stuns enemies for 5 seconds. Corvis doesn’t do much except a bit of damage, but every bit counts. Keep both NPCs alive to avoid restarting. Check out the screenshot below to see what Holy Ward looks like.

This challenge is one of the game’s hardest. You’ve got to keep an eye on your debuffs, stay on the move, and hit hard. Make sure you have enough WoW Dragonflight Gold and read on for the best Guardian Druid Mage Tower strategy for each boss.

Phase one kicks off when you step onto the platform. Your goal here is to take down Inquisitor Variss and his summoned mobs. Watch out for his Aura of Decay, Drain Life, and Mind Rend. Keep Aura of Decay stacks below five and interrupt Drain Life ACP, or he’ll heal up. You’ll also face Tormenting Eye, smoldering infernal, and nether horror. Tormenting Eye’s Inquisitive Stare can knock you off the platform, so face it when it casts. It’s immune to physical damage, so Moonfire is your go-to.

Smoldering Infernal’s Smash can also toss you off the platform, but it damages itself with a Fel Resonation debuff, so just dodge its main attack. Nether Horrors head straight for Velen but are weak and can be taken out fast. Use Holy Ward to interrupt Drain Life if you can. Don’t waste interrupts on Mind Rend and protect Velen at all costs. Clear smaller mobs before focusing on Variss.

With practice, phase one becomes more manageable as you get the hang of dodging and debuff management. After Variss, Highlord Cruel enters the fray. Tormenting Eye stops spawning, but the other mobs stick around. Cruel’s got Annihilate, Nether Stomp, and Twisted Reflection.

The last one needs a quick interrupt as it heals Cruel big time. Avoid the purple beams around Cruel, as they slow you and push you off the platform. Use speed abilities to handle the debuff, but it’s best to steer clear of them altogether. Reset Annihilate stacks with Holy Ward to avoid heavy damage. Keep those Nether Horrors off Von. Dodge Nether Stomp to stay on the platform.

Despite being tough, a Guardian Druid Mage Tower nerf seems unlikely. Some classes and specs might even have an easier time. Beat the challenge, and you’ll snag a cool transmog set. Guardian Druids especially love the Fel Werebear Druid form, proving you’ve conquered one of the hardest challenges in the game.

Complete all seven Mage Tower encounters for the Soaring Spellwing mount. It’s a rare sight and a badge of honor. If you want to speed up unlocking these rewards, check out our Time Walking and Paladin Mage Tower boost. Let our pros take on the challenge for you, and just enjoy the loot.

Here is a guide to help you prepare for Guardian PVP in patch 10.2 going live November 7th on NA with Season 3 starting November 14th on NA.

We are going to be looking at important PVP changes, Guardian changes, tier set woes, and rounded out talking about build updates and stat priority. 

PVP Changes 

With the start of the new season, we have your standard seasonal unlocks like titles and mounts. 

But more importantly, like last season, we will see the new honor gear be better than the season 2 conquest at an item level of 473. If you want these powerful gear, be prepared with plenty of WoW Dragonflight Gold.

Continuing with gear, you will still be able to craft PVP gear according to desired stats similar to Season 2 with the new Spark of Dreams, which takes two Splintered Spark of Dreams to make.

Still looking at gear this season, they did add Glorious Medal of Honor, which is a bind on account item that can be purchased for 2500 Honor to grant you 1,500 Honor on an alt to get your alt caught up.

Lastly wrapping out the PVP gearing, when it comes to upgrading the PVE side of the gear, it can now be upgraded with flightstones in addition to Honor. 

Gear aside, there are other PVP changes of note, including:

• Changes to the Arena pool maps
• Bloodlust type effects now being usable in rated Battleground play
• The introduction of the Battleground Blitz as a brawl for continuous testing
• The most critical change of yet being the CD reduction of the Healer’s (Gladiator) Medallion

Guardian Changes

Across the board, Guardian has largely been overperforming. And as tuning has transpired, we have been seeing it rained in, sometimes in not the healthiest ways, which sums up the spec going into this patch. This is where we see another nerf to Rage generation with Blood Frenzy being target capped, but generating an extra Rage point overall.

PVP wise though, this could be a benefit and certain comps. Yet, it is the PVE performance that has been dictating these Guardian changes.

Tier Set Woes

With the start of Season 3, we see the deactivation of the previous tier set as we struggle with the emotional trauma of Season 3’s tier.

The TLDR here is your tier revolves around Rage of the Sleeper now with your two set, providing you additional Absorb Shield based on the damage and healing done as well as armor gained with your for set adding up to 5 seconds of up time on Rage of the Sleeper with the additional benefit of a Thorns effect. 

There is more, and this is reduced by 50% PVP. But seriously, I generally hope we see buffs here, but even then prepare yourself for the extreme and exciting gameplay of smashing frenzy regeneration and Ironfur to milk this set for all its worth.

Builds & Stat Priority

Turning to builds, the previously recommended base sitting and flag carrying recommendations remain the standard and you will find the import codes for each in the description.

As of stat priority, it remains Agility, Versatility, and then Mastery. It is also of note that statistically going into the later Seasons, we see a bit of stat blode, which makes it a great opportunity to focus on these secondary stats due to Diminishing Returns.

For example, 30 to 39% of Versaility, you’ll experience a 10% penalty and from 39 to 47%, you’re looking at about a 20% penalty and it continues to trend higher penalties at different percentages.

So, when you are hitting these benchmarks, you’re looking at a bigger advantage from adjusting your gear or enchants for more Mastery, which directly correlates to the Guardians Mastery ability and their health pool.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is a wonderful expansion and an excellent step in the right direction in terms of game design and narrative. It is clear that the game developers are putting a greater emphasis on valuing our time as players and incorporating our feedback.

That said, as good as Dragonflight is, there are still a few improvements that can be made that would turn this expansion into an even better one. The following list is no way of saying this expansion is bad (quite the contrary), but rather a way to offer some critiques to improve it. Also, if you're new to Dragonflight (or WoW in general), don't forget to check out these tips for returning players

Improve Leveling Pre-60
As amazing as Dragonflight is, with all its improvements to the game, the leveling experience remains the same. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it certainly can be changed, as especially for new players, you'd want them to be exposed to the best the game has to offer outright. Instead, once they get out of Exiles Reach (a phenomenal starter experience), they are thrown into a part of the game from level 10 to 60 that is nowhere near as good as it is in Dragonflight.

Fix The Strafing Bug
If you've been playing Dragonflight, you've probably encountered the strafing bug at one point or another. If you haven't, then count yourself lucky; randomly after getting off your Dragonriding mount, players would no longer be able to strafe.

While this could usually be fixed with a simple"/reload," it was still quite annoying to deal with. So if this bug could be fixed and never return, that would make Dragonriding that much better.

Access To All Mythic Plus Dungeons At Other Difficulties
Season one of Dragonflight brought back four dungeons from past expansions to replace four of the Dragonflight dungeons in Mythic Plus. Season two of Dragonflight will see the other four Dragonflight dungeons in Mythic Plus, plus four different dungeons from past expansions. While this is cool, not everyone playing Dragonflight played during all the past expansions.

As such, some of the Mythic Plus dungeons will be brand new to them, and they'll be at a serious disadvantage when doing them at Mythic Plus difficulty. After all, you can practice all the Dragonflight dungeons at normal, heroic, and regular mythic difficulties to prepare for Mythic Plus. The same cannot be said for the Mythic Plus dungeons of past expansions (Timewalking doesn't count).

Make Reputations Account-Wide
Many features of Dragonflight are account-wide, making it all the more appealing to create alt characters. However, reputations are still missing from this account-wide checklist, which is a bit disappointing considering how willing the developers have been regarding account-wide features in general.

Fix The Zone-Wide Lag
As amazing as the community events are across the Dragon Isles, something needs to be done about the zone-wide lag that ends up resulting from this. The best zone in Dragonflight, The Azure Span, suffers the most from zone-wide lag as you have hordes of people cooking soup for the Iskaara Tuskarr and farming out reputation for the Cobalt Assembly at the same time.

Some days the lag is bearable, and other days it barely allows you to play the game. While it is a good thing that so many people are playing WoW, the lag born of this needs to be fixed.

A Little More Class Tuning
Admittedly, this isn't that big of a deal for most of us, but it certainly can be for those of us whose mains are the classes that still feel really underwhelming. The talent trees are incredible. However, there are still a few specializations that are struggling big-time in certain areas of the game when compared to their counterparts. Class balance is one of the hardest things to get right in a game as big as World of Warcraft, but if this can be fixed, the game will be much better off, without a doubt.

With the release of World of Warcraft Dragonflight, Blizzard's long-running MMO has added a lot of new elements. As the saying goes, if the old does not go, the new will not come. Therefore, many long-term systems that were relatively backward before have also been improved in this new expansion.

For example, professions have been improved. Be aware that this feature has been with the game since World of Warcraft was released. However, in Dragonflight expansion, this function has changed drastically and replaced by a more complicated process. If you want to increase your strengths for any given profession now, you need to choose your specializations and level talent trees carefully. This is very similar to the process of upgrading classes.

Gathering professions in World of Warcraft Dragonflight include mining, herbalism, and skinning, and provide crafting professions with raw materials to craft items. Although the professions of this expansion have received a welcome overhaul, the core aspects of gathering and crafting professions are basically unchanged. This means that if you want to level up gathering classes like mining and herbalism, you'll still have to venture into the Dragon Isles to collect all the resources.

While you can now collect materials with ease on your mount in Dragonflight, it's actually quite time consuming to collect mining nodes or gathering herbs around the Dragon Isles. Therefore, before collecting, you need to know some tips in advance. This way, you will know exact information like when you can start mining from dragonback etc.

What you need to know is that whether you are miners or herbalists, you can ride your dragonriding mounts to collect all nodes. If you are miners, the first thing you have to do is upgrade your profession to level 25. Only in this way can your ability be unlocked. You can upgrade mining by mining Serevite, Draconium, and Khaz'gorite. Once you reach level 25, the next thing you have to do is choose the right specialization. You can unlock special abilities by observing the map, then navigating directly to the Mining Process tree and putting all 35 knowledge points into the Mining Process talent.

Specifically, profession specializations help you upgrade these stats further and unlock special abilities, like mining ore while staying mounted. There are a few things you need to pay attention to here. First, you can only use Dragonriding mounts. Second, the special ability that you can mine while riding a mount is only available on the Dragon Isles.

Similar to the mining process, if herbalists want to gather herbs from their dragonriding mounts, they must upgrade the herbalism level to 25 and prepare 40 knowledge points in advance. Once herbalists have successfully unlocked the specialization trees, they will navigate directly to the Botany talent tree. Then put all the 40 knowledge points prepared in advance into the Botany talent. Of course, gathering herbs can only use Dragonriding mounts and these mounts can only be used on the Dragon Isles.

If you don't already have the cool Dragonriding mounts, you can use WoW 10.0 Gold to get some.
