    Murloc Monday - ask your questions here!

    Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!
    That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.
    Questions can range from what's new in Battle for Azeroth, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?
    Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question. Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

    You may want to look at /r/wownoob (Retail), or /r/AzerothNoob (Classic) as well!

    Here are some handy guides to start your adventure in Battle for Azeroth for the first time or start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

    Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the WoW Returning Players Guide.

    If you are returning from earlier in Battle for Azeroth, check out the guides for gearing up, unlocking Nazjatar and Mechagon, and flying.

    Can Zin'anthid please not be repeated in Shadowlands?

    I just don't think a herb that is the most vital to our raid/m+ consumables. (20 per flask, 6/8 per pot) has any business being exclusive to a now very expired patch zone.

    We could have had the same amount of herbs required but it could have been spread out amongst all BfA herbs so we are not fighting for hours to loot a herb node that a multiboxer has already got on a dead, multiboxer infected Naz shard.

    I re-made Arathi 10 years after Shadowlands! (For a fan expansion I’m making. It assumes that time passes faster in SL)

    I play WoW since 2006 but went through a hiatus in the past years where I found my soulmate, moved to another continent and had two kids. Now, due to quarantine, I have the opportunity to start fresh in a new Region and Realm with a player 2 by me.

    We’ve been Waldup for far too long, or: How 1431 Forsaken Footsoldiers stood between me and my Powerfully Stupid bank alt.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 04:29 PM PDT

    Sometimes in the pursuit of beauty, humans become blind to the agonies of their craft. And sometimes World of Warcraft players do really stupid shit for almost no reason. This story is closer to the latter. This is the story of Waldup the Worgen, the most unlikely of bank alts.

    At the end of February, I finally earned the Brutosaur. Go me! But the thing with the Brutosaur is that if you're standing in one of the traditional trade hubs, beside an Auction House, you're wasting that five million gold. No, we need to find somewhere with glitz.

    Before my longboi I was parked in Booty Bay which, in my opinion, is probably the best hub for auction alts. There's a bank, a guild bank, an auction house, and a mailbox all within strafing distance of each other, and a vendor a short walk away. The major downside is it isn't a resting zone, which means every single time you want to change toons there's a 20-second wait. Yawn. I had a dinosaur now, I could do better.

    I moved to outside the bank in Darnassus, which is definitely a good hub. There's a mailbox, there's both banks, you're in a rested zone. If you have the brutosaur, I strongly recommend this spot. But… it was lacking something. Darnassus. Darnassus. I killed spiders outside Darnassus in 2006. There's no mystique to Darnassus, no uniqueness. We can do better.

    I realised that all I really needed was a mailbox and a convenient rest zone, and that opened up my potential roosts to almost anywhere my little alt could rest their head. For a minute I was in Dun Morogh for nostalgia factor, but when that wore off I got a friend to fly me over to Twilight Highlands, where the baby griffons roam. This was the life. ..There was a mailbox, a convenient resting zone, and a great soundtrack. I was often the only person in the zone, and the views were fantastic. And I could pet the baby griffons.

    But then I got enough liquid gold again to start flipping materials, and with 200 000 tidespray linen in my mailbox and bags, I was beginning to realise that 5 minutes of bank access every hour really wasn't cutting it. I needed a banker, and the search was on again.

    It was hard to get excited about the locations presented on the list of in-game bankers.

    Darnassus, Ironforge, Stormwind, Exodar? Phtth. Boring. Blasé blasé.

    Shattrath, Dalaran? Good options, for sure, but I'd need to twist one of my level 60/80+ toons into a bank alt, and I didn't have a great candidate for that at the time.

    Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Ratchet, Winterspring? The best candidates yet for sure, but awkward rest zones and mediocre visuals made them imperfect.

    It seemed my search was doomed, until one innocuous NPC caught my eye.

    Mary Oxworth, a <Banker> so useless and unknown that the top google results for her are 5 NPC database links and 1 piece of Genn Greymane/Darius Crowley erotic AU fan fiction. You see, Mary is a banker in the Worgen starting zone, but she only exists in two instances. The first is for a period of about five quests after you've been worgen-ed but before the Cataclysm happens, and the second is a little later on in a different city in Gilneas.

    She was my lighthouse.

    I flew my bank alt to both her locations but no dice, she was phased out of existence. Not to be dissuaded, I made a new worgen toon. This is the origin of that fair wolf-man, Waldup. Doomed to the Worgen's curse, and also doomed to a bunch of other really stupid curses he didn't sign up for.

    Getting Waldup out of Gilneas City and to Duskhaven, to Mary Oxworth, was simple enough. The problems thereafter began immediately. You see, the quests in the Worgen starting zone get you to around level 5, and then the Cataclysm happens and Ms. Oxworth makes a break for higher ground. We can't have that. To give you an idea of how poorly I planned this entire escapade out, I forgot that I wouldn't be able to actually mount the brutosaur until I got mount training at level 20. Oops.

    Not to worry, I'm sure I can leave the Worgen starting zone in this phase and come back to it when I'm the right level. No dice once again. The instance is blocked in with invisible walls, and although you can glitch out and free yourself, or get a warlock summon, I was worried that phasing shenanigans would infringe upon my ability to return to my One True Love, Ms. Oxworth.

    Instead, I developed a new plan.

    At first I thought I would DoubleAgent this, picking up herbalism and mining in an attempt to earn xp. While you could definitely do that, the instance in this case is very small, and the nodes are scarce. That wasn't going to cut it.

    I began to farm Forsaken Footsoldiers. Blessedly, I soon realised that Gilneas had been updated with the new level-scaling, and they levelled up with me. I ran in a circle through the fields of Duskhaven, picking flowers and mining veins and killing Forsaken Footsoldiers.

    I reached level 6. And then level 7.

    I earned my Imp. I earned my specialisation. Shadow Bolt became Incinerate. I had killed so many goddam Footsoldiers. I earned my first talent point.

    At level 15 I thought I would finally be free, finally able to random-queue into dungeons and level myself that way.

    Things did not proceed as planned.

    I knew what I had to do. At this point my Routes addon was freaking out, totally unable to discern what zone I was even in, and WoW's in-game statistics broke as well. The Forsaken Footsoldiers were still earning me experience but the game was no longer iterating my 'total kills that grant experience of honor' stat.

    I continued on. Killing, killing, picking, mining, killing. I began to feel bad for them. Then I killed some more.

    When I mined that last copper node, when I hit level 20, I had killed somewhere just upwards of 1400 Forsaken Footsoldiers over the course of 8 hours of cumulative /played.

    Waldup the Worgen finally stood proud, mounted on his Brutosaur…

    ... and at long last reunited with his raison d'être.

    Can I recommend this path? Absolutely not. To be blunt, it's not even a better commercial hub than Darnassus, and probably isn't better than Booty Bay. Do I regret doing it? Absolutely not. I think I'm one of the only players in the game whose retail bank-alt exists canonically preceding the Cataclysm. A core joy of the game is self-direction, and grinding is the ultimate-self directed activity, particularly when it works towards an otherwise non-incentivised goal. To put it flatly, I had fun doing this. It was fun.

    Lastly, to those against whom I competed on the auction house over the past months, take rest. The reign of Gnimrod the Gnome Hunter, terror of economics, is over. Long live Waldup, the Far Too Long.

    WoW Flight Simulator

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 01:56 AM PDT

    ​

    Introducing World of Warcraft Flight Simulator!

    World Of Warcraft Flight Simulator

    The game inside a game nobody asked for. (work in progress)

    I got the idea when using the gathering addons with the Routing Addon. it made the UI very much like a flight simulator. I thought, i can make this better...

    So i did, i spent hours figuring out how to put gifs into weak aura. Nobody has made a decent guide on it yet and it took a lot of trial and error. I will be putting together a step by step at the bottom of this post. (big shout out to Weak aura dev u/Infus for the guides on YT and the forums)

    Addons:

    • GatherMate 2
    • GatherMate 2 data
    • Routing
    • Weak auras 2
    • Weak auras 2 stop motion
    • Sexymap

    (maybe some more, will be updating)

    ​

    Various gifs and sound files.

    Various macros.

    ill work on a guide and get all the gifs and sound files uploaded at some point, it still needs a lot of work. i want to add a more functional radar over the map (not minimap) , add the addon minimap alert with custom sound files. add a machine gun (cant find any bullets/a10 brrrt gifs)
    add more custom fighter jet radio chatter/sounds. Fighterjet gifs as custom Enemy unit frames.

    UI overlay for various flying mount selections, like a character selection but with flying mounts lined up, custom UI/HUD overlay for each mount. Actual minigame added with enemy and score board (no idea)

    All in all it makes the zin grind a lot less tedious.

    Making Gifs in wow/weakaura.

    A. get https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2

    B. get https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-stop-motion

    C. get https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info18810-Blpc.html

    1. open https://ezgif.com/resize
    2. open https://ezgif.com/gif-to-sprite
    3. open https://giphy.com/ (or whatever u want for gifs)

    go to 3. choose the gif you want. save gif to PC.

    upload gif to 1. and resize it to a number that ends 2, 4, 6, or 8. width and height must be dvisible by 2 and not be 0. (0 seems to work sometimes, not sure.)

    save gif to ur PC. Upload resized gif to 2. gif to sprite sheet.

    settings: CUSTOM GRID.

    columns: quick math. if your gif has 9 frames, 3 columns x 3 rows = 9 frames. you want to try keep it pretty square. not sure how important this is.

    check no margin around outside

    output PNG

    tile size: leave on auto, it should make something with the correct 2,4,6,8 final number maybe a 0. but should work. if ur final tile size ends in an odd number it most likely will not display correctly.

    CONVERT
    you should end up with a nice tile of your favorite meme. Save it as a PNG.

    open the C. (Blpc) file converter after u install it. File>open>(select all files in bottom right box so u can find ur PNG) open the png of the split gif. in Blpc make sure in options that Dxt3 is selected and resize method is stretch.

    save your BLP texture file. wow loves BLP files. put the BLP file into your wow interface folder , i like to put them in "D:\World of Warcraft\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\Addons\WeakAurasStopMotion\Textures\Basic" with all his BLP friends.

    Launch WoW, (every time u add a new gif/BLP to the wow interface folder u must restart wow for it to work.)

    open up the WA interface (/wa) and click new aura and click stop motion. in the display tab click texture and manualy enter in the address for the BLP file. in my case its "Interface\Addons\WeakAurasStopMotion\Textures\Basic\johntravoltameme.BLP" do not include anything preceeding _retail_ it should start from interface and go on, include the file extension or not, (.blp/.tga) not sure if it matters.
    Custom foreground, u must select the correct amount of rows and columns and the amount of frames in the gif. so 3 by 3 and 9 frame count. Frame rate you can adjust to what u wantdepending what the gif is.

    and that should do it! the gif usually wont play automatically on screen with /wa open. if your gif is sliding around or not working, you have the wrong pixel size and need to resize/check your gif and splitsheets. and check your columns and rows and frame counts.
    as for the triggers, events, conditions, i am not going to explain how all of weak aura works, i hardly know myself. plenty of guides online to help with that.

    THANKS

    How do I actually level engineering?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2020 02:06 AM PDT

    Lvl 80 now and I never actually went too deep into my professions . I chose engineering as one but anything I try to look up always tells me about classic.

    Do I just try and make what the engineering trainer has to lvl up? And where do I even get the reagents? Auction house is always there but I'd imagine almost everything is overpriced. Do reagent vendors all send different things?

    I'm so confused, any info or help would be nice. Thank you

    It's not so much being treated like a champion as much as it's a repetitive language issue.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    IMO there isn't an issue with the player character being treated/spoken to like a world saving champion - the issue is that hearing the words CHAMPION CHAMPION HERO CHAMPION over and over and over again gets grating REAL fast.

    Would love for blizzard to just stop including the player's name all the time in written dialogue and therefore not need to have a catch-all title to use constantly in the voice acting. I mean, I've always hated the disconnect too between reading [character name] and hearing 'champion'.
