WoG Brainstormz # 42 - Earthwarden

Avoiding timesinks is a habit ever since Earthwarden (Druid Tank Mace from BC) got replaced early Wrath, alts played depend on how one-sided Blizzard's thinking is with a system. Had my best gold making run ever with Enchanting before 8.2. Changed playstyle entirely to multiclassing by myself instead of doing serious PvP. Stacking classes I enjoy. Blizzard repeat mistakes with stats every expansion. I will force myself to stick to fewer alts before flying. Devotion, my main's guild, has finally gotten their shit together and progress much further than the old iteration of the guild. 5/8 HC @ patch 8.2 raid. 

 

Notice. I'm doing dishes the first 5 while recording in the middle. At 4:08 I drop some noisy shit.

WoG Brainstormz # 41 - Classic Realms and Playstyles

My friend, Krieeg, wanted to go all in on Classic as a ganking Rogue. Me, on the other hand, wanted to get my main names and dabble in Classic 6-18 months after launch. No hype train, no queues, no obligations, just play it at my own pace. Make my coppers and silvers and just enjoy the ride of old WoW slowly. Well, those plans went to shit, so here we are. The entire world is upside down.

The best part about Classic is that I can play them entirely differently. So I'm playing retail as an action arcade version of WoW where I can blast through things alone.

Side notes: Good luck understanding this episode. It's oldschool Grayz in many ways. Also, the audio skips at times. This is an issue with my beloved s7 and I'll keep on recording on it. But if the skips hurt a very important topic in the future, I might have to use on another phone. Time tells.

WoG Brainstormz # 40 - Classic Leveling (Part 1)

The different leveling options I have. How I've chosen to level the first time around and why. Triple team multibox leveling.

If you can't stand background noise be safe and stop around 3.40. The 2nd recording was recorded inside a bus filled with kids.

I will probably revisit this topic when I have other ideas about leveling

WoG Brainstorms # 39 - Future Reputation Strategies

Plans for the future. Cap reputations on main Hunter. Reach enough rep for professions on my Tier 1 alts; Mage and Warlock. Slowly repeat the process with my Tier 1.5 main Priest. Main Druid can slack entirely since Hunter now has modern day Inscription capped and is keeping it. While Druid has all of the old stuff, which is harder to get after the profession leveling changes. At least on low pop realms.

 

The rest of my alts won't touch reps at all  except for unlocking whatever the f*** Blizzard forces us to unlock in future expansions.

 

Side topic not as fleshed out: Dropped Herbalism on alts and switched to Enchanting in most cases. Stationary characters can disenchant anything, but they can't herb. Also I chose Skinning on a select few alts and my newly created Druids are all 2x gatherers with Herbalism + Mining. 2nd set of Druids were being leveled in Jade Forest as of this recording.

WoG Update # Update 6 - Flashbacks and Classic Overload

Recorded a ton of unreleased episodes since my return a month before patch 8.2. That will become a Flashbacks thingy.

Also playing WoWC (WoW Classic) 6-18 months ahead of my planned schedule.Having a f***load of fun too. This means that I might create "content" for that as well.

Sidenote: Actually feels weird to see, but thanks for still listening although I hardly upload episodes. Ever.

WoG Update # 5 - Crashing Computers and Darkmoon Fairies

Notice!
There have been issues with the synching between the podcast feed and the blog. Today it got fixed. This entry is a good new beginning.

Old computer is not doing well. New computer is probably "The Move". Darkmoon Faire is up and choosing which alts to level in what order matters. At least to me. The 10% buff is best used on alts that can't Heirloom their levels anymore. While the lower alts have their rested XP + Heirlooms and should be fine. Especially since I hardly level at all without rested XP. Rep buffs? I use it on the Emissary world quests and any other quest that I deem worthy.

Grayz Thoughts | The End of RBGs 2018-10-05

After too many kicks, losses and me just never ever improving. I'm finally calling it quits. It was a short run! Some players should never ever PvP. I'm out for good!

Here's the video explaining why.

Grayz in Battle for Azeroth - Twitter thoughts pt. 3

Here's ideas that I've put up on Twitter that are being tweaked into a blog post.

The idea is simply to share bit sized thoughts about my process while I play the game in a very specific way to meet my evergrowing needs of avoiding more and more time sinks.

The plans for alts has changed a couple of times since the last post for several reasons, but I won't waste too much time explaining why. Most important part is this; I hate the Activision-Blizzard quest system because it gives me zero options that truly interest me. So I level as much as possible outside of their system and enjoy the game so much more because of it.

Here's a breakdown of how I do it.

Grayz in Battle for Azeroth - Twitter thoughts pt. 2

Here's some tweets that I tweeted today about BFA that I'll use to start off a series that I've thought about for years. Probably since WoD.

Alts? The plan was simple 2 days ago: Rush to 120 & sort out two  professions. 2x gathering ofc. 


Now? Rush to 116. Skip Mining altogether. Reach Drustvar. Set HS, begin farming Winter's Kiss. Level Herbalism. Ding 120. Complete all quests and get rich in the process

The tweets

Probably reactivating Engineering on main. Mail box + Looterang feel like a must have combo this xpac. Especially with my playstyle where time saved is the ultimate goal combined with maxxed out fun and speed. That's exactly how I felt in WoD to save time grinding 

WoG Brainstormz - Update # 4 - R.I.P. GrayzBDF Enter Grayztrades

I'm grayztrades on Instagram if you for whatever reason want to know what the hell I'm up to nowadays. This has been a part of my plan all along although I didn't know how I'd do it. So if I do any gaming content in the future at all, it will probably be under extreme circumstances with a set time frame. Basically a hardcore challenge in order to save time and to learn whatever it is I want to learn for my business endeavours from it. I mainly post on Instagram and then share it to Twitter. Merry Christmas and F*ck off! Me too!

Learn How to Make Money Online!

 

After 6 years of never posting when I should, but rather when I wanted, I've finally learnt "The Secret". So as a part of my "Who I am" reveal go to the horses mouth. 

Click adds (Cold), buy guides (Jim) and learn how to make money online (Foldberg), like so many other previous WoW (or Gold) bloggers have taught you.

Who me? I'm just payin' my dues riding Tom Cruise in the nude like a brute, dude. Grayz the f*ck out. Money and selling out is all in!

Grayz = A persona @ Kuda Mtema. And now his creator writes about making a shit ton of money on Wordpress.

P.S. If you end up broke just talk to the trio above that taught me about the money making side of blogging. Gevlon is excluded from the money makers cause he's so real he never even had to go the Gold Beggar's route.

P.S.S. Keep it really real and sell out quick!

GLHF!

Making Gold for WoW Tokens During My Break?

The past 8 days I've been posting stuff on the AH regularly again. I now have 57 hours left before my 2nd account runs out of game time. But I'm seriously considering selling off whatever product I have that's worth anything until it's all gone. Instead of keeping it and trying to sell it months from now. Which would end up being a complete waste of possible sales with good margins. "Max profit dat shit to the fullest, bro!"
