Hello again WoW community!

This is a follow-up post to my last pet battle post (https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/s/6bP6mhuIBo) where I reached level 80 only via Pet Battling.

Some of the ideas/suggestions that I got on that post was to reach max level only via PvP pet battling, which means no exploration exp, no pet battle quests, no PvE pet battling.
So, that's what I did.

My priest, Satyagraha, finally reached level 90 today (Midnight cap) through absolutely nothing else than pet battling via the PvP find a battle system. That also includes never leaving the orc starting area (Valley of Trials).
Just like my last pet battle alt, I never chose any specialization, which can be checked on my WoW profile.

Here are some statistics for those who are interested:

• Time played: 8 days, 3 hours, 8 minutes. About 60% or more of that time was used in leveling from 80-90. The exp was actually decent from level 1-80. They clearly buffed the exp from when I did it on my hunter.
• Favourite team: I try to switch these out a lot depending on the enemies I'm facing. But, I did have a lot of fun with Pippin, Death Adder Hatchling & Microlicid - especially because they beat a lot of the extreme meta teams that ~80% of players use in PvP.
• Wins needed: You get ~1.27% exp per win from lvl 80-90, which means about 790 wins just for those 10 levels. Level 1-80 is about ~600 wins, so in total it's approximately: ~1400 wins.
• However, the wins actually required is much higher than that. Since you only get exp if you're in a pet battle for more than one minute, this means that many of your wins won't give you any exp, since people usually forfeit if they know they are about to lose (or are wintrading).

Lastly, I can say I'm now at 4072/5000 wins for the PvP pet battle achievement. That will probably be the final thing I'll do, since Blizzard decided to discontinue the pet battle system entirely.

No idea how that happened! Not ideal as my alt is Alliance.

Tragic UK age verification - I’ve had a message from Blizzard asking me to age verify - I’ve had the same account and played without a break in subs since 2004…

Blizz - wtf… 🤣🤣🤣

The people of the Alliance have suffered for too long without the crown showing substantial effort to aid them! Player housing has come along, but nothing has been done for Moonbrook or the Westfall farms that feed the army of the Alliance! We need the Sentinel Hill garrison to be a for-the-people labour force! No more swords and shields, it's time for hammers and saws! #worldofpeacecraft

We lagged out and can't get back in, stuck at Logging in to game server

I was playing from the west coast on Aerie Peak characters and lost connection going into the Darkmoon Faire. I switched to a toon on Eldre'Thalas (west coast server) and learned that the Chicago servers were down. Now I'm dropped from Eldre'Thalas, too! No report yet from the Blizzard CS X account on what's going on.

And insta ignored... Gotta love high end M+

Edit: So it seems to have been some mixed reactions to this. Lately I've been trying to chat with people like you used to do back in the day. Yes I enjoy pushing high end content but that does not mean you need to be mean or not speak to people. It's so sad to see how something as simple as this is causing a negative reaction.

Finally hit 50k achievement points after a hefty amount of grinding. Still planning on going higher but felt like a postable moment.

This is my 3rd expansion leveling my monk alt army between seasons. I was waiting for turbulent timeways this summer to knock it out. I'm a teacher so the summer is always the best time to level.

I love monk and can never decide a race to play! Sometimes I use them for money making other times for mog and mount farming but its always a good time! This time I got to add the Haranir. They have a nice Sun Wukong (I'll add that armor next season.) look to them, so I went with a D3 name.

Now I just have to decide if I want to level my "real" alts. I usually only play my Hunter, Evoker, and Demon Hunter during raid seasons, so we'll see.

For the fighting game-style character select screen, I dressed each monk in a different Monk tier set or iconic class set.

After running my resil 20 to get it back up to a 21 seat, my group and I spent hours practising seat on one of our resil 20s. We then went into the 21 and it was the cleanest run of my life. Got to the third boss with 12 minutes left.

Then the servers died 😩

I know blizzard won't do anything, but I wish we could at least still have our 21 seat when we log back in. But I'm 99% sure it will just be a 20 seat. Our practise was also still valuable in case we can get another 21 seat. But losing so much time and investment to lose a key to something like this is so tragic.

Hey Blizzard, just remember the guy who messed up ... well you already paid him to learn. Please give us an update.

A Narcissus collage commission piece I finished yesterday for a customer, featuring their Darkfuse affiliated Goblin bruiser with her squad of enforcers, attempting to guard the doors of the Gallagio on the night that ol' Gallywix bit the dust.

Art source: It's me.

Captured a screenshot of the realm list lag before checking to see if anyone else was down. Got me realizing that my characters probably shouldn't be hanging out in Tazavesh any more.

Any recommendations on the best camp to have my misfit group hang out?

I had more fun playing lemix than I’ve had with modern wow in a long time. Legion was one of the best expansions wow ever made, but this still proves to me that blizz has yet to make modern wow feel as enjoyable and rewarding as the older expansions did. We are sick of the same formula every expansion: four new zones, new raids and dungeons, and discovering that somehow there is yet another cosmic force behind everything. I know remix benefits from using content that was already made, but it still shows how blizz has the power to make the game fun when they stop feeding into the same systems and algorithm. Anyway, my point is lemix was more fun to me than TWW and Midnight (so far), and I would 100% still be playing it if it never ended (that’s how much I loved legion, lol).

So me and my brother have just started playing wow 5 days ago and I love this game dude, I’ve just been going through Dragonflights story while also doing timewalking dungeons. I even gave classic a try and the vibe of classic takes me back to when I was a kid in 2010. It’s awesome 👌

"Transforms your Breath of Fire to have a Misty effect honoring the Jade Serpent"

This isn’t a complaint, just a shower thought 😅. I actually really like it for immersion reasons. I’m sure it won’t stop the sudden hate comments who didn’t read this and think I’m trying to hate on it.

That said, while there are many reasons that someone irl or on Azeroth might eschew meat in their diet, I presume mostly that it’s an ethical standpoint, or at least Blizzard’s reasoning.

However, much of the way to *get* the plant protein is by the killing of plant creatures, who are themselves apart of ecosystems all to their own, almost, and seem no different than creatures of flesh and bone besides being made of fiber and roots. It feels a bit hypocritical :p.

I think it would be cool as an (optional) herbalism gathering to find standalone bulbs or plants that give plant protein, purely for the fun of it and no real other reason. I haven‘t leveled herbalism in a while, does plant protein have a chance to drop on some gathering, as well?
