 What up guys, this is gonna be a really quick last minute video on Consumables I'm gonna be going for and what leveling prep I'm gonna be doing for Shadowlands And I guess the first thing to note is that the You know all the quests that you can do to hand in are not really worth it I tried a bunch copied a character over you're not getting much experience from them at all compared So you know what you get in the morning in bastion At the start so the time that it takes you know to come back and do them and then head back there And then get behind the crowd, you know, it's not gonna be worth it with the potential You know of being stuck in in some lag Fest So I would say your best bet is to try and you know get out in front of the pack as fast as possible So yeah, keep your character parked in Stormwind ready to go get through the portal, you know and into the more ASAP And You know, there's gonna be a general route that you're gonna follow it's gonna be very linear and With that in mind, you know The option is or your choice, I guess is whether or not you're doing side quests or whether or not you're you know focusing solely on the main campaign and That really comes down to like do you want to Level ASAP or do you want to get your campaign done ASAP because you need to complete the campaign in order to do Torgas and Any sort of soul buying conduit stuff So if you do want to level and get max level ASAP, then I recommend doing the bastion side quests But not the Maldraxxus ones the XP rating Maldraxxus is really bad. You want to get out of the ASAP Ardenweald, however, is generally really good as well And you're most likely ding 60 in Ardenweald Regardless so Yeah, that's that's kind of my summary in terms of you know questing and the route You don't get to pick which continent, you know, you're doing first is it is a set route I Guess the next thing I wanted to say is with regards to war mode So a lot of people were a bit concerned with whether or not war mode is worth it You can't actually PvP in the more anyway So it's free there and once you're beyond the more you should be past if you're serious, you know And you've got your consumables and decent gear to start with start with you should be past like 99% of people Once you're coming out of the more and going into bastion So war mode shouldn't be an issue, especially if you're in a group. Most of the other people that you encounter will most likely be try hard questing anyway So For me, I'm thinking I'm gonna go with war mode. I'm gonna gonna leave it on Run with it the entire way through just to make it go a little bit quicker Next up is consumables and there are a few consumables that stop working at 51 and that is light foot potion your draw of 10 lands your rune any sort of war scrolls if you don't have The required class for that buff in your group and drums and these all stop at 51 But it's important to note that the buff stuff actually works Once you're 51 But you can't use it. So make sure you rebuff all of these Right before you ding 51 because you're gonna get an extra up to an hour for some of them out of it Which is gonna be, you know, at least one level maybe two If you're going quick with the group Which brings me on to my next thing grouping definitely worth it If you've got some friends that want to level quick or one level with you And also up for doing some prep It's 100% gonna be faster for you if you group Most of your XP is gonna come from quests rather than actual killing So there's almost no penalty for being in a group. So 100% worth it And you can also all get these banners right which work for your whole group and you can stagger them So you always whenever you do a big pack big pull any sort of killing you have a banner up from someone That's gonna give you good bonus XP as well. You get this from the guild vendor If your guild has done the required achievements Next thing I guess is gear you want to pick up the mount item that gives you 20% mount speed You can just grab this off the auction house. I think it's like one two K gold pretty cheap And you know, you have this option or the anti-days option, but you can actually spin to avoid days You know spin while jumping to avoid days and getting hit from behind So this is basically just a passive 20% extra mount speed Now your main goal, I guess since you can't mount in the more is using gun shoes effectively and any sort of movement speed Effectively in the more right because you want to get away from the pack anyone that's not using this you're gonna bypass And pull away from which is a big deal So yeah gun shoes when you're not in caves light fit when you're in caves You can potentially run night true boosts on your boots as well This comes from Northrend engineering and this is usable all the way up to 60 So this is very useful every time you go in a cave But be aware that it does shake all them with your damage pots So use them wisely don't just macro them wildly to stuff because whenever you're in a cave Then you will find that your belt was on cooldown and that is gonna save you time getting out of this cave for sure Since you can't man them You got two move speed gems 5% and 3% definitely worth picking up as well So you sacrifice about 14 haste for that two main stat gems Then increase your damage a bunch You are your bear tartar Is an option for your buff food if you don't want to run any sort of damage food That works all the way up to 60 same for flask Definitely worth keeping those up whole time. You know, you can buy all this stuff the auction house gliders There's loads of blighter spots that is faster than mounting and Again final thing is I guess health pots if you're in trouble Just always handy to have and then damage pots if it's a really big pool and you're gonna get good value out of it Last I guess thing is some gear so any gear with speed on that has decent stats for you probably worth grabbing Speed is gonna be really important here Because you're gonna be running around a lot and that's gonna probably save you the most time out of anything within reason So I've actually picked up these boots with the minus speed enchant which only works on items up to 50 And I'm gonna be using that in the mod again just because you can't man there And I want to get ahead of the pack ASAP to avoid any sort of potential lag I also have this amulet. This doesn't share cool down with anything else So you can drop it on during any sort of RP where you're waiting around for Quests and you know stuff like that to complete and you can Just pop this just to run, you know to the next location if your gun issues are on cool down Or you know, you like fits on cool down You're in a cave anything like that you can get value out of this for sure whack it on use it get it off again A Big trinket is this one. This is from halls of valor from the wolf boss and It's a fairly low drop rate It took me about 12 runs, but you can just spam it on normal all the normal heroic and mythic ones the same stats Especially if you're an agility class is gonna give you a lot of value I'll definitely be using this in the more. I'll see if I use it, you know any anywhere further on but It's 100% gonna be valuable in the more I'd say In terms of actual gear again, like I said anything with speed on is valuable talents You want to take things like body and soul that's gonna help you out for sure Or you know any other class with moves move speed perks or talents or whatever. Definitely go for them. Oh Yes, the last thing I wanted to mention was add-ons So there are certain add-ons that are gonna help you out a lot when it comes to leveling and I guess a major one Is any sort of auto turn-in quest add-on? I'm using Litrix plus And this is just gonna automate any sort of quest text. So you don't have to spend ages clicking on it. I Wholeheartedly recommend that you can also have an an option to skip gossip Which is you know when you have to talk to the NPCs or whatever And and you know it makes that go a lot quicker as well That's probably my number one add-on I would say for leveling Other options, I guess our Q bar Q bar is gonna give you a option to bind quest items So there's some quest so you have to use a quest item over and over you can actually bind like every quest I am to a say the same bind with Q bar it automates it for you So I recommend that as well Last things To mention I guess is Litrix plus also allows you to instant sell graze And instant repair so that's gonna save you time too So that was everything I wanted to say I hope there was some useful tips in there for you It's all last-minute stuff easy to do You know will tell you maybe five ten minutes to get it all sorted and ready and it's gonna save you a lot of time while leveling So yeah, I will be 24 hours streaming on Monday night when the expansion comes out So hopefully see some of you guys there Over at twitch TV slash hydramist if not hopefully you have a nice lag-free launch and Enjoy guys
