I’ve hit the halfway point of 110 (105), and the things I’ve seen.. one still blowing my mind.
\nI’ve completed Stormheim and currently working in Highmountain. Val’Sharah is going to be my place to go to reach 110. Really enjoyed Stormheim’s questline. But my favorite part was being an ally to the Thorignir; a race of storm dragons. The reason? Well, I haven’t seen something like this since Cata of actually talking to a dragon… but the names of the quests had me tickled pink. They were titles of Dragonforce songs! \ud83d\ude00
\nI prayed one of them would pull out a guitar and start jamming to it. If I saw that, I would die. Just.. ‘ded’ from the sure epicness. Or even better, had Blizzard played a version of that song of the title.. ‘ded’. Plus getting to them, felt like I was playing Skyrim (trying to reach the Throat of the World).
\nI’m not going to lie, that was fucking badass! It’s a shame, though… when the final quest in Stormheim was all “you are worthy! Now, go get a group together and do this dungeon!”.. Fuck no.<\/p>\n
Highmountain had its own surprises, such as coming to where Deathwing was banished to Deepholm. Feels right out of Skyrim, though, of Alduin being banished. What was odd, is he was banished.. by a Tauren. A Tauren Warrior named “Huln Highmountain”. I was even able to fight this vision of Deathwing. Was unnerving to see his face again.
\nAnd then it ends, with this spiritwarden guy being a black dragon who was uncorrupted by Deathwing. And I swear he thanked me for killing his father all those years ago. So that proves other black dragons who were uncorrupted are still alive, just in hiding. That’s really mind blowing. It also proves that dragons are immortal, unless killed by an outside source (such as a Human Hunter out for revenge).
\nI was also part of the Battle of the Ancients. And I saw Alexstraza’s consort flying around assisting the Night Elves. And it’s location, oddly enough, is also where the pre-expansion content was for The Burning Crusade; Azshara.
\nOverall, that was pretty good. And it didn’t even stop at a dungeon. And being the only one doing that content, it’s like Blizzard wanted me to see this. That, or the entire thing was phased to where I was the only player there. Both are cool to me.
\nThanks, Blizzard. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
These two zones, so far, it feels all expansions are being brought into it. Almost if Legion is going to be the final expansion of WoW. Too early to tell, though.
\nSo that’s basically it. As for the Artifact Weapon, after asking how I go about unlocking Spirit Bond, it turns out I have to max out an ability before I’m allowed to have access to the branch that Spirit Bond is on. Need 375 power and I’m slowly working on that.
\nI also discovered that rare mobs (which are shockingly quite soloable) have a chance to drop a charm that can be used to get artifact power.<\/p>\n
But really…..so far I’m actually living without the need for Spirit Bond. I realize now that it was nothing but a crutch to unlock my true potential, and I get the reason why Blizzard did what they did. I do miss Aspect of the Cheetah, though (before its feature was completely overhauled) — especially when trying to follow NPCs who are actually running faster than I can. But.. what can you do? The road to Level 110 continues on…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve hit the halfway point of 110 (105), and the things I’ve seen.. one still blowing my mind.

\nThat and I’ve been using Feign Death quite a lot. So far I haven’t died to a mob. Came close a few times (due to my main pet dying), but I always managed to get my pets where I wanted them to (and running around while Feign Death is on cooldown also helps).
\nI’m also getting these runes, and have been debating on either keeping them ’till I’m Level 110 (since I don’t know if I truly need<\/strong> them), or just sell them.<\/p>\n
\nOverall, this expansion is pretty good. Love the fact I don’t have to stand around in the Honor Hall and just quest while they do their work. Also, I am glad to see that the only reoccurrence of Work Orders is to recruit archers to help the odds in my favor.
\n—-
\nOne other thing. Checked out the ‘WoW Legion Companion’ app. It works on my phone, and it is awesome. I cannot recommend it enough. It serves as remote access to your Honor Hall, allowing you to complete and start follower missions, upgrades for you or your followers, and hire archers.. all remotely without even having to turn my computer on. And when you log in, it will give you the changes. That. is. AWEsome!! \ud83d\ude00
\n—-
\nI do have to say this in my closing. Was informed that I would be able to acquire the other artifact weapons ‘later on’. And that magic number seems to be at Level 103. But since I’m BM for life…why would I possibly have a need for these other weapons? Of course others can argue that the other specs are powerful in their own way, but I just prefer BM. And so far, the desire for my main to be the first Level 110 is slowly coming true.<\/p>\n
