I've also got my quest log almost full of winterspring/stratholme/scholomance quests complete, ready for the exp jump. Am I wasting my time? I'm also amassing a ton of Deadwood Headdress Feathers and Scourgestones for the miniscule exp turn-ins in large quantities. Am I wasting my time?

In short, can you only receive exp from 60-70 in TBC zones?

I was under the impression that already compeleted quests won't give you exp after TBC goes live? Dunno where I remember reading that but I thought that was the case, I could be wrong though.

But as for the exp thing I'd assume so, I'll have to go kill something on Azeroth with my priest to make sure. Unless someone else in Beta can give the infos.

You can EXP anywhere.

Quests, not sure of

Here's a TBC question. When are they gonna reveal that the Warrior Arena Plate stats were just a joke?

Warrior Chestpiece
+13 Str
+54 Sta
3 sockets
crit rating +16
resilience +22
http://www.thottbot.com/beta?i=853

Wtf is that supposed to be for, tanking? 13Str and 0 agil on PVP gear? Compare for example...

Hunter Chestpiece
+29 Agi
+48 Sta
+15 Int
3 sockets
crit rating +16
resilience +16
AP +20
http://www.thottbot.com/beta?i=878

Yeah the extra 6 stam was worth it when it could have had 29Str 15Agil and 20AP. If you look at the overall set bonuses the Paladin set has more AP than the Warrior set. I dont usually complain about itemization but this is terrible.

Tuco · 10-20-2006, 04:06 PM

Maybe it's the tanking PVP set =P

Or perhaps they want warriors to tank in PVP! =D

(I still maintain that they should make taunt workable on players and force the players to target them while being taunted.)

Jabberwhacky · 10-20-2006, 04:08 PM

Ya that is fucked up.

Are there any Socket bonuses that are actually good? Just looking at those two pieces all you get is a measly +4 crit. Isn't it already 14 crit for 1% crit at lvl 60, which'll be even higher at 70? So that socket "bonus" is like .2% crit or some shit? Seems like you'd be able to make up for that by choosing different colored (but more DPS-oriented) gems to put in.

is there any salvation for engineering? Anything even remotely cool? I haven't seen anything from engineering yet.

Don't bother saving those tokens up for xp purposes. Those repeatable token turnins are gone as of the expansion. You still get xp off quests though so you can fill your log up with completed stuff and get a decent buffer into 60 before hitting Outland if you want.

I hope this doesn't include the Winterfall Beads. I'm currently biding my time by grinding Wintersaber faction (repeatable quest to kill 5 Ursa/5 Shaman for 50 faction), and saving the beads until I hit Revered, at which point I'll need 2100 to reach Exalted. I have about 500 at the moment and I'm just over halfway through Honored.

The thing is, I won't hit Exalted with the Trainers by the time the expansion comes out (assuming end of November) so I was hoping to get some use out of the beads beyond a useless (with the expansion) faction.

Are you serious?

It was already a far stretch of logic that a robot you carry around would not only charge you to repair but then magically not be able to break it open to get your gold back, but now you can somehow build a box that comes complete with mail, gold, and items you didn't actually have on you?

Or was that a joke? :P

I'm honestly not sure if it includes those. I'll screw around with older content over the next couple days and see what all repeatable quests no longer give xp. But the BG token quests have been removed completely for sure - I went looking for the npc to hand some in when I copied over.

Remote Mail Terminal : Unfold the Remote Mail Terminal so that it can receive and send mail. It only has enough power to last for 5 min.

I must say though, it seems like you've played enough MMORPG's that you should know that unreasonable things are completely reasonable.

We throw magical balls of ice at giant snakes, spiders and whatever the hell else. Is a remote mail box so unreasonable?
