Ren
Beat my first +4 mythic, completed but did not beat +5
Running and gearing up parallel Alliance and Horde shaman - running Alliance shaman as fast through war campaign as possible to get up to Battle of Dazar’alor
Final alt tally after Korrak’s - 6 Alliance 120s, 12 Horde 120s (18 total)
Looking at the holes:
All classes but one on Horde side have a 120.
Half the classes on Alliance side have a 120 (warrior, hunter, rogue, shaman, mage, and warlock)
No DKs either side; plan Mag’har and Kul’Tiran when allied races become possible.
Have lower levels on Alliance side mostly - dwarf pally, lightforged draenei priest, night elf demon hunter.
No monk Alliance; plan Mechagnome monk.
No druid Alliance; plan Worgen druid (maybe)
No tauren or highmountain tauren; none planned.
No empty slot for vulpera; will probably make Vulpera priest and retire Blood Elf priest to auction mule duty
That will give me all races except 2 Tauren races covered, and all classes represented on both sides. No panda on Alliance.

Mike

Wrote new addon guides for Classic - PvP, raids, leveling, and gathering
More KR fun - have 2 new 120 resto shaman - Zandalari on Horde, undeleted and race-flipped 112-now-120, Tauren-now-Draenei on Alliance - KR leveling analysis, stories, and Korrak f*ery
Pandaria timewalking on Alliance
Bought new podcasting mic setup - mic stand, shock mount, pop filter
Computer gently frying - purchased new computer, arriving Saturday. Considered and priced out comps from several companies but ended up buying Alienware Aurora Ryzen edition - Ryzen 6 3600X (6-core 32MB L3 cache/4.4 GHz), NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 Super (6GB), 32 GB RAM, 1TB M.2 SSD

News

Classic
Major update to Classic threat library - changed from the ThreatClassic-1.0 library to LibThreatClassic 2 - means that players using one won’t see/be able to communicate threat between players using different libraries

Be sure to update DBM and Details if you are using their built in threat meters
Warsong Gulch Classic
Queueing changed - if you are grouped and in queue, adding a player to your group will reset your place in queue
Retail
Season 3 ended prematurely on Dec 31 - usually resets on patch changes, which means it should have ended Jan 14
Working on a hotfix to restore Season 3 and retroactively retain rating changes and tier updates. They don’t anticipate being able to retain season games played count or win counts during the unexpected offseason.

Ren
Rewrote guides for Classic AV and WSG
Running KRs with WNNs - shoutouts to Cryler, Zignea, Webbley, Drexl, Hidebound, Loosechanj, Zeryl, and our visitor JP
Have leveled up 5 more toons to 120 - Alliance warrior and mage; Horde mage, priest, and demon hunter. Horde nightborne monk is now 103; starting work on Zandalari shaman.
Started a lightforged Draenei priest - level 26. Yes, Alliance. In war mode.
Guested on PEOPLE OF AZEROTH
Considering buying a new computer

Mike
Moved to Atiesh
Pagle started falling apart
Now in JunoEclipse’s guild
That means I had to start my Lock and Priest all over again.
Eh, that’s ok
How to level up skinning and cooking so easily in Elwynn
Why? Because when you get to Westfall you get level 80 recipes

This Week in WoW
Ongoing: WoW Anniversary Event, Feast of Winter Veil

Tuesday: World Quest Bonus Event

News
Classic
Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley went live
Paid character transfers
Classic Winter Veil
Retail
Korrak’s Revenge - going until 7 January
Learned about Korrak’s Revenge, and how Christy got us hooked
Favorite stories from KRs - Christmas sweaters, Ren’s language issues, taking Zig through her first BG and then her owning them, Webbley’s laugh, the collective obsession with Stormpike Bowmen, Drexl’s bumming rides, and how Cryler single-handedly sabotaged an entire BG
Why you never click anything in tunnels - or, how much fun is it to kick naughty mages
XP and Korrak’s Revenge
Can go in as low as level 10 when the Group Finder becomes available; have seen a level 12 in there
Amount of XP you get increases as you go up in levels. Levels in some ways are depending on activities, but this is what I got for typical runs. In some ways, it depends on your effectiveness.
At level 25, I got about 28% of a level for a win (1.07 % for a win)
Level 40: 50% of a level for a win (1.2% per level)
Level 50: 95% of a level for a win (1.9%)
Level 62: 125% of a level for a win (2%)
Level 103: nearly 2 levels for a win (2%)
Lesson: doesn’t really make sense to go in until at least level 50. No epic speed land mount until 40; can’t get quests til level 60
Korrak: DO NOT KILL HIM THERE. Go to Zul’drak.
8.3 launch date announced: January 14
