This tip popped up for me yesterday, in the twenty minutes I actually spent logged in. My job has me on mandatory OT now, which makes alting at all pretty hard.
I was going to talk about my paladin or my mage last week, but that flew out the window. There was Timear's weekly quest to do the world quests, so most of my meager game time last week was spent grinding out the same world quests I've already done a few times.
So...trying to level alts is probably a terrible idea this early in the expansion.
Then again, I love to entertain terrible ideas.
So...
I have two mages. One night elf, one blood elf. On my night elf, I already got the frost and fire weapons. (Felo'melorn and Ebonchill, for those who don't play a mage but love lore and want to know.) Those were somewhat easy, with a little bit of a challenge factor, for someone who didn't bother gearing up and isn't used to playing a mage.
And then there's the arcane weapon.
Oh God.
The arcane weapon.
I'm going after that on my blood elf mage right now. I died until my gear went a little broken around the edges. Went outside the scenario to repair, optimistic because I thought I almost had it...but the whole thing reset.
Oh hell no!
So, I'm in the middle of that quest.
Screw it! I'm doing the death knight weapons next. And my night elf can never go arcane, ever, as far as I'm concerned.
Any mages out there want to tell me how it's done? I already got the idea that I want to stay as far away from the guy as possible, but other than that I'm at a loss. My blood elf got leveled in a hurry from the Legion invasion events, so I don't have any buffs of any sort. No food, no flasks, no potions. Should I stock up? Any spells really help?
Anyone else have any weapons they've gone after that just made them nope the hell out? Or has it all been smooth sailing for you so far?
