The Battle For Azeroth

The Battle For Azeroth

When I first got a look at the information coming out with the new expansion, most of it looked very much like the last expansion and expansions before them. Boring.

It was only when Wild started digging into the specifics did things get more interesting. Of course, the first thing Wild wanted to see is the changes in his Professions, Tailoring and Enchanting. And the first thing he learned is that the First Aid profession will be folded into Tailoring. First Aid achievements will become Feats of Strength.

La-de-da, Wild didn't mind adding First Aid to his expertise, but he was greatly interested in what the new bags would be. They are: Deep Sea bags (30 slots),  and Embroidered Deep Sea Bags (32 slots). Yuk, underwater farming? Instead of goaning, Wild smurked. Wild does not like underwater situations. But of course he now has the Underlight Angler, he can breath underwater, and has no worries as long as he has that weapon at hand.

Other tidbits. AP has been mushed into a single item, a new artifact called the Heart of Azeroth Medallion. Basically it draws AP and when you get enough of it, you get a gear upgrade. The process is automatic. Upgrades grant additional properties to gear.

Each expansion now has a separate profession skill bar, with smaller caps for each expansion, instead of one gigantic profession skill bar for all expansions put together: I don't understand how that works, but I guess Wild will figure it our when the time comes.
        Classic goes up to 300
        Outland, Northrend, Catalcysm, Pandaria goes up to 75
        Draenor and Legion goes up to 100
        Kul Tiras and Zandalar goes up to 150

I hoped that the new Alliance continent would favor land combat versus watery slogging, but Kul Tiras is framed by the sea and the things in it. The family will not add a new player to the world of Kul Tiras, and that means no new Alliance added to the family. At least for now.

More interesting is Zandalar, a Horde/Troll dominated territory. Horde Paladin Jocelyne is keen to test this new land and add to her accomplishments. And there is room for a new addition to the Horde ranks, assisted by Plumrosefist and Auctioneer Happyface. Should the decision be made, Happyface intends to change his name. Suggestions are welcome. There is also the opportunity of a new boost, although the jump would be small (only from 100 to 110.)

Finally, a rather crazy thought. Wildshard is now Alliance and he has grown comfortable in that role. But the old days still haunt him. His old Horde guild still exists. He often wishes he could return to his old Horde guild.

What if it were possible to return to the Horde in another version of himself? Wildshard can't get the idea out of his head.
