Thoughts on levelling changes, post 2.3.

[Chimpy]

Minor update: Just finished circuit 2 of Un'Goro yesterday on my rogue and dinged 56 from the turn-ins. According to the guide, I should be L52 or so at this point.

I;m pretty sure I'm going to hit 58 before even starting Winterspring or WPL, let alone EPL/Silithis.

You know what that means don't you?

You don't ever have to set foot in the hellhole that is Silithus.

Major plus in my book.

Silithus might not suck so bad if the huge swaths of epic mobs were replaced with regular ones, which I imagine happened.

Pretty sure that they were - at least most of them, anyway.

I'm going to resub and try some alts due to this change and I have a quick question, can you make money levelling up through disenchanting or does the cost to increase the enchant skill itself burn up money at a faster rate?

Enchanting will definitely outstrip whatever money supply you have if you aren't max level. If you want to do it, wait until you're done leveling, and get two gathering professions on the way there.

Most of them.  The quests go a lot faster now.

You can make a lot of money disenchanting. Since I don't really play any more I can give up my secrets   

Step 1 - Download the Enchantrix and Auctioneer mods. I believe you can get both at http://auctioneeraddon.com/dl/

Step 2 - Go into Enchantrix Options and under Auction options set minimum profit to 1 gold. (optional)

Step 3 - Go to your local AH and scan Weapons, Armor, and Trade Goods auctions.

Step 4 - Enter the command "/enchantrix percentless 40"

What this does is return a list of auctions in your chat box where you can buyout those items and expect to make at least a 40 percent profit on the average disenchant mats return. On most servers, the level 40-60 green disenchant mats are the biggest moneymakers. Illusion dust, Greater Nether & Eternal Essences and so on. YMMV depending on server of course.

If you set the minimum profit to 1 gold you'll filter out a lot of the lowbie stuff but then again a lot of that lowbie stuff can be sold for a few gold depending on its suffix, so up to you. Obviously if you're levelling up enchanting you'll want the lowbie stuff in there, and also click the option to only display stuff you're capable of disenchanting.

Ok I'll try that on one of the alts thanks.  I'm trying to run a bunch of them so I could just send him all the stuff.  I tried downloading auctioneer already but I guess 2.3 broke it so bad that they aren't offering the current version for download anymore, only the untested new version.

The old version works for me, except there's a bug where you can't use one of the screens you normally use to put up stuff for auction, you have to use the "post auction" tab instead. The functionality with Enchantrix should remain the same with the new version though.

Yeah, the only bug I've found using the old version is splitting an existing stack into smaller ones via "Post X auctions of Y items" on the AH menu - still works fine for individual items, complete stacks and already-split stacks.

Levelling update: Rogue is 57-and-three-quarters, and just got dropped into Winterspring (I forgot that Braxis goes Felwood->WS->Felwood). I'll probably finish off this circuit & ding 58, head to HFP for my (direly needed) TBC gear upgrades, then head back to the old world and finish up. I've still got half of Felwood, most of Winterspring and all of WPL, EPL & Silithis to do. At the very least I definitely want my 'freebie' blue +ATK trinket from the Winterspring furbolg quest line.
