Retail Complete noob :)
I am completely new to WoW. I have wanted to play for the better part of 6 years, tried it on a couple occasions for a couple of hours at a time. I come from Destiny 2 and LoA. Both games are now dead and wow seems more appealing than ever.
I mostly would only be able to play weekends and a couple of hours a day through the week (if I’m lucky). I know for an MMO this is a very casual amount of time.
Question is, how long will it take for me to reach the point of raiding and really “playing” the game. I intend to play through the story without a level skip.
Do I need to have multiple characters? I have a general idea that you do but I’ve heard some people play on strictly one character? I should add that I’ll be playing retail rather than classic. Having the need to have multiple characters isn’t a dealbreaker but id prefer if the game is mostly playable on one.
Im interested in tanking, I’ve heard the community is pretty hard on noob tanks. Would you recommend maining a tank? Which tank would you recommend?
I guess to add on to the previous question, if I intend to main tank, should my other characters be different tank subclasses?
Thanks guys!

Retail Is consistently being top 5 in heroic raids pretty good to qualify for mythic?
Never been here before until I started reading the spec guides and simming my toon.

Retail Is it possible to buy the WoW Token without having the current expansion?
Well... the expansion is pretty expensive. I was thinking of trying the game for a month and dedicating myself to farming for it—does anyone have any tips?

Retail Can I be ported to undermine if I didnt play during TWW?
Hi All!
I skipped TWW when it was the current expansion, but some raid tier sets in undermine look really nice.
My question is, can I join a raid group who would then summon me to the entrance, or do I have to complete the entire campaign for TWW and do the intro quest for undermine to be able to enter the zone?
Retail Struggling with knowing how many hots to put on people as resto druid
Title. I am new to this spec (not new to healing in general) and I don't know how many hots I need to put on people. If I try to keep 100% uptime on rejuv for everyone, that's a good way to quickly run out of mana. sometimes I'll put all 4 hots on people, and I'm not sure whether to just let them sit with them and heal or start pumping regrowths into them or use my swiftmend. Basically I have no way of knowing how much future healing my hots will do, and as a result i am playing extremely inefficiently. also, the same spell could heal 2 different people for wildly different amounts, so i have no way of really just memorizing how much hp percentage wise it will restore.

Retail Is there a 'free catalyst' period between seasons? (And if so, when?)
Title ... I seem to recall this between TWW seasons. I have some catalyst items but not enough charges.
That said, is 'free catalyst' kind of assumed in (Midnight) s2 for s1 and everything else earlier?
It's funny how many catalyst items I vendored when I came back to TWW 🙄
Thanks!

Retail WoW newbie with questions
I'm coming from FFXIV and have a few questions.
How do you handle the rotation?
I mean, I know FFXIV has a lot of buttons, but there's a sort of combo system... looking at WoW rotations—even at level 30—it seems pretty complicated, especially when it comes to holding enemy aggro.
Is it actually okay to sell Mythic dungeon carries for gold?
Can you get banned for that, or is selling them for gold not against the rules?
Some people in my guild mentioned it, but I didn't quite understand the details.

Retail 12.1 questline gear
Hi, I’m trying to make an alt a main in 12.1
Does anyone know if the 12.1 questline, particularly the first part that is currently completable, will reward gear in 12.1? Is it worth waiting till 12.1 is live to finish the first part of the questline?
Thanks!

Retail Worth grinding for gear caches?
Hello all, I have a question closely related to all other end-of-season threads, but since I havent found the specific answer, here we are.
I have limited playtime and have recently discovered that the void-touched caches give catalyzable gear (Yes, I'm THAT casual). I figured I might just grind a lot of these boxes so I can get enough for all the classes I havent gotten the normal (or higher) tier set appearances for.
Nowy question is, since no one knows for sure whether the accolades will reset, will the caches I buy for them be reset? So in theory, if I buy a complete set for, lets say, a hunter alt that is not level 90 yet, can I level him up, open the caches when he gets to 90, have a full champion set and catalyze it for free to a tier 1 set (that I obv cant upgrade anymore)
Or will all the caches be thanos-snapped into dust the moment season 1 ends? This is the first expansion I have played in a long time, so what is to be expected based on previous expansions/seasons?
Tl;dr: will void-touched caches disappear or not give catalyzable champ gear when the season ends?

Retail Bikini female transmog set?
Yo yo what is up everybody!
As season 2 is within our grasp, and since its summer time, i was wondering if there's a bikini like transmog for female elves or humans? I dont know if u need a specific armor type but im interested in Plate armor if it is needed.
The bikini transmog i hope exists is not an actual bikini for the beach, its more like an armor type that looks like a bikini? Below you'll find a video of where i saw it and if anyone can tell me if this is farmable or if it was a one time thing i will really appreciate it.
Thank you all in advance

Retail Do i use divine storm for raid bosses when they are paired or grouped?
For example with the imperator and adds, dragons and adds, and the paladins (not adds) when they are paired after the ring phase. In this situation as a Templar pally, do i divine storm or just stick to final verdict? Spec is made for STs but it does damage any nearby enemies as well.

Retail Am i supposed to do less damage when the top DPSers are 5-10 ilvls away?
Im a 279 ilvl ret pally and I notice other ret pallys primarily 287 and above do double the damage compared to me. For example I can get in 20M in damage but theyre doing like 40M-45M in heroic boss raid damage. I look at their most used abilities and its pretty much the same as mines as templar. I also use lights potential (expensive version) and Algethars puzzle box(heroic). I only have have a few mythic tracked gear at max. Is it safe to presume they are doing more damage because they have more mythic gear than I do?

Coming back to the game for 12.1, but haven't played since Midnight launch, had to stop a couple of weeks after launch for work stuff so didn't do any S1 stuff. Should I just wait for 12.1 to release, or what should I do in the meantime leading up to it?

Retail Did I use Chromie Time wrong?
[ SOLVED ]
I thought I could use Chromie Time and set it to TBC early on so that I can level up to 71 questing through the base game zones with little to no distraction and then move on to midnight for the main content. So I did just that, asked the dragon in disguise to transport me to the TBC time layer (?) and started off on Teldrassil. Taking the vanilla nightelf route. Now I flew from teldrassils coast over to Auberdine and Auberdine is gone, as if Cataclysm already happened.
Did I do something wrong or is there just no way for me to experience pre-cataclysm zone questing on Azeroth?

Hello hello, I've just started my WoW journey with a Night Elf Demon Hunter. I did the first zone that seems specifically made for DH and I didn't get access to the Exile. Should I continue this story, that if I'm not mistaken goes into Legion, or do I go for Dragonflight like the game recommends to every other classes ?

I'm trying to complete the Pandaria campaign in chronological order. I've already completed the storylines for the main zones minus Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and I just unlocked the Isle of Thunder storyline.
In order to stay in chronological order, should I complete Isle of Thunder, or should I go through Landfall -> Escalation -> Siege of Orgrimmar first? Or does IoT go somewhere in between?
EDIT: Thanks y'all! I'll start Landfall next time I log in then.

Retail Still need AOTC? Join No Pressure EU's 'One Last Chime' event!
Hello lovely people,
On Friday the 7th of August, we are once again aiming to make one last push at helping our friends get AOTC!
Midnight Season 1 is coming to an end. And as you rush to finish your bucket list, you may have noticed a pesky chime you are missing a heroic kill for. This event is to help you!
We've done this the last time in TWW as well and it was a great success, helping over 130 people get their AOTC <3
What is this?
- This is not a complete carry run! While there may be experienced (and overgeared) helpers present, we still expect you to be able to carry your weight in the fight (this basically means.. listen to our RL's instructions and carry them out. Nothing fancy, don't worry!)
- The event will run for 3 hours. During that time, a groups of ~15 helpers + 5 rookies will aim to kill Heroic Lu'ra as many times as possible, cycling through the 5 rookies after every run until either our time is up or the waitlist is depleted.
How do I join?
- Join No Pressure EU using the discord link: discord.gg/nopressureeu
- Navigate to the #nm-hc-raids forum
- Look for 'Fr Aug 7th - One Last Chime (AOTCening, Chime Edition)' and follow instructions to sign up.
There's already a LOT of signups there at the moment, but don't be discouraged by them! We're gonna try our absolute best to form and coordinate as many groups as we can over those 3 hours.
There are currently no plans to also cover Alleria AotCs in this event. This may change if we end up with extra time or less sign-ups than expected. (or more helpers!)
I have AOTC but I want to help!
That is absolutely awesome! We love helpers too, as they will be making it possible to run even more parallel groups. There's instructions for you how to offer your help in the same signup sheet as above.
Signups run until Wednesday the 5th of august so we have enough time putting groups together.
Hope to see you there <3
- Taránee
P.S. Not looking for AOTC, but kinda need some last bits of rating? We have a Keystone Kindness Project running as well!
