Still having image woes, so another week without. And thus minimalistic.


The affixes were Tyrannical - Spiteful - Quacking. Some specific places in dungeons are horrible with these affixes, but most of the time they are mostly just annoying.


It was battleground weekly, but since the bonus (quest gives some conquest, passive honor gains in bgs) doesn't really do much for me at the moment I didn't feel the need to spam dungeons.


I leveled my druid alt this week since it was kinda slow. Between doing all the normal dungeons once and making myself some crafting orders to get skillups, iLevel ended up being 359 or something like that. The idea is to make it my healer prog character, but with resto shaman buffs and evoker being so good right now we will have to see if it just turns into a tank alt.

Random Weekly Thought

My interest and other people's interest keeps on dwindling. First time this expansion I've dropped under 10 keystones done in a week, and that barely happened in shadowlands and bfa.


For me, it's ironically that I finally hit JUST the characters I wanted to play at the start of the expansion. And they are all keeping up with my intentions without having to play a lot. Not wanting to swap tank to something else, not having to optimize something for raid, or in short do alts, has made my playtime turn reasonable. Like I hoped for.


For others (but also me), the dopamine hits have started to become fewer and smaller. Either you have cleared what you want by now, or you are stuck at some score or a raid boss or a pvp rating. There's no big gear upgrades to make you grow, no massive score weeks or easy raid prog nights. This is the week I would claim every season in TH I would stop raiding. And have a complicated relationship to the game the next 4-5 months.


The hope is that the interest will be low, but both me and at least some others will keep doing a bit every week. Not raidlog, but m+ log. And chip away at those professions...

This week, patch 10.5 was released, with a super nice evoker perservation change. Temporal anomaly is now faster, and applies echos right away. But the cooldown is increased and it has a smaller absorb after 5 targets. It is a little nerf, but a super nice quality of life change, since it was a bit clunky to use before. It was a dream to use in the raid, and I am even concidering using it in dungeons too.


ree
Making soup
ree
Leveling Ruthe. Now lvl 69.
ree
Lavabloom got a makeover
ree
Dragon form makeover. Made it around the shoulders I got. The only interesting transmog piece I have for dragon form..
ree
Dragonflying
ree
Finally got Broodkeeper down! Now it is possible to get the heroic dracthyr staff in my vault!
ree
Just love using the dracthyr staff! Doing a dungeon after the raid with the guild. Should have said no because my head was too tired. I should have learned by now to not do dungeons after raiding.
ree
Started progressing on heroic Raszageth. Our dps is a little low, so it might take a while.
ree
Doing dungeons with the demon hunter gang. I did only four dungeons this reset, since I was a bit uninspired. But they were all 16s and in time. Quality over quantity!

 
 
 

Short on screenshots this week, for reasons.


The affixes were Fortified - Bolstering - Storming. Sometimes mobs hit like a truck, but it was more annoying and a bit time consuming rather than hard.


It was Legion Timewalking week. Not a big fan of the Vault there either, but the others are fairly fun. No Violet Holds were had, perhaps it's not a timewalking dungeon? Which would be great. Scaling on the easy side still, but it's alright. Better than the Pit of Saron malarky a few years back.


The set item creator catalyst thingie opened this week. Dom had 0 pieces, Wutte 2 pieces and Esmënet 1 piece before this week, so only Esmënet got immediate benefit from it. The plus side this time is that the quest is account wide, and that it's a complete things I already complete kind of deal. If you have two alts all you need to do right now is to do world boss on main and both alts to finish the quest and get a charge on every character. So it's all smooth sailing from here. Even if it unlocked a little late...

Random Weekly Thought

While playing the game without looking at guides is... freeing, it does come with some negative sides. Especially the profession side of things. There are so many pitfalls when it comes to skilling up crafting... They adjusted it to be less punishing for choices made, but it's still very costly to skill up without knowing the least costly choices.


This is the only true goal of the season. Reach 100 skill in the crafts. There's a lot of "dead" knowledges, so maxing that out is less important.
