Welcome to this new guide of WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3. The recently discovered epic profession items are poised to become your best-in-slot gear for virtually every class in the game. Some classes even equip 2 of these items, and acquiring multiple is straightforward. Let me guide you through the process.

Enter The Nightmare Incursion

First of all, head to Ashenvale, and we're going to go inside the Nightmare Incursion. Once you're inside, go all the way to the south below the Warsong Lumber Camp and you will see the Nightmare Amalgamation, a gigantic boss that you will not be able to defeat alone.

You don't even have to fight it. Apparently, you just need to get within its normal range because you'll notice a debuff on yourself called the Aura of Paralyzing Dread. You can pull him if you want. Then you'll hear a little whisper, and you'll begin your journey to get epic crafted gear.

Find The Field Captain

Head outside of the Nightmare Incursion itself and go right to the Field Captain that gives you the quest for the Nightmare Incursions. This might be camped out by the other faction, so just be aware of that. But as you're talking to this Field Captain, you'll notice at the bottom there are new options for you to communicate with them.

Talk With Itharius

After you talk to them, they will offer you a quest called An Amalgamation of Nightmares. This requires you to go to Moonglade and speak to the Druid trainer, Loganaar, which is located in Moonglade.

However, Loganaar will send you off to Swamp of Sorrow to find Itharius. Now, head into this cave and you'll talk to Itharius. He's going to tell you that you need to investigate the Sunken Temple and figure out what's going on down there.

Now, you either need a cleared raid lockout or to head into the raid yourself, but you can't do this unless you've actually started clearing the raid. This will go smoothly if you have a certain amount of WoW SOD Gold with you. So once you do, you will have discovered the Bands of Nefarious Deeds. So you can head on back to Itharius.

Head To The Moonglade

The next quest sends you all the way back to Loganaar in Moonglade, and you need to speak to him. And then you will need to speak to a shadowy figure. This figure will send you on a quest to find a gnome. And the gnome is actually located in Booty Bay within the inn. The gnome is called the Injured Gnome.

Next, you're sent off to Jaguaro Isle, the island to the east of Booty Bay. Once you're here, you're going to loot the small burrow. Now, we're going to go back to the Shadowy Figure in Moonglade, which is going to give you some bracers that will allow you to fight against the nightmares.

Get Mantle Of Nightmares

Then you're going to head back into the Ashenvale Nightmare Incursion. Now, you need to get a group together to kill the Nightmare Amalgamation. So, make sure that you have those bracers equipped, and you will attain a Mantle of Nightmares.

You'll take this back to the Shadowy Figure, which will now offer you an Inert Mantle of Nightmares, and she'll have a dialogue option to teach you all the crafted recipes for your chosen profession. If you need a second Mantle of Nightmares, you can just head on to Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay, and this mob will sell them to you.

Hi, players! As we embark on our journey of the new Phase 3 in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, I'm excited to share some useful tips with you that I firmly believe will greatly enhance our Sunken Temple raiding experience. I’ll cover 3 key aspects to optimize your chances of success in this raid, includes preparation before the raid, team composition, and strategies for each boss encounter. So, let's get started!

Raid Preparation

First, we have to talk about preparation. Your single biggest priority, and the rest of your raid’s priority, is to get all your new runes. Things are way different in phase 3. Some of these runes can increase your damage by even 20%!

New Runes

Hunters were absolutely destroying with new runes like Raptor Fury, but it’s really all the classes that get better with runes. Some of these runes feel so insanely strong on hard fights like Eranikus. The real Phase 3 secret is that Blizzard wants you to get all your runes and then do massively higher damage.

Speaking of runes, we have to prioritize the Emerald Wardens Reputation early on. First off, it guarantees you an in 2 or 3 hours of farming. Second, you’ll be getting WoW SOD Gold from all the quests, which really helps us to get expensive gear and supplies we’ll be needing for the raid.

New Gear

Your second biggest priority should be getting all the easy and overpowered new gear. The first place to check for that new gear is at the Warsong Gulch and Arathi vendors. You can grab the Level 48 upgrades instantly. Blood Moon offers new rings that'll nearly double the stats for Priest, and there are new relics and trinkets for other classes as well.

Even with the increased cost on top of PvP, you'll also want to be blasting out the newly unlocked dungeons for upgraded gear, particularly Zul'Farrak, Maraudon, and Blackrock Depths. All have newly upgraded pieces of gear.

In Zul'Farrak, by completing God of the Wild quests, mobs will drop a new currency called Wild Offerings. These Wild Offerings can be turned in for crazy near-bis items like the Band of the Wilds. This is a reliable source of Darkmoon Cards for the new decks.

Team Composition

We also have to discuss how to ensure your success in raiding. The first thing you have to do is join a guild. This raid is intentionally designed to be completed gradually with the guild. Then the most important thing is that you need to plan your team composition.

This is a raid that really tries to push you to bring a mix of melee and ranged. Speaking of specific classes, there are 2 specific classes that I'm very happy with, aside from the extremely powerful Shaman. These classes are Hunter and Shadow Priest. They can bring a lot of damage and healing to negate team damage or even tank damage.

Boss Fighting Tips

Let's discuss boss tips and strategies for the Sunken Temple raid. The raid's really challenging in Phase 3, but it's going to be getting a few rounds of nerfs. I think the best approach is to offer my first piece of advice to every boss:

Atal'alarion: Everybody's spreading out, making sure to stand between the pillars and the boss. The reason being that the knockbacks destroy the pillars, which means you take less damage. Everybody really should be running at least 2,000 health to not get one-shot.

Festering Rot Slime: As you're kiting the boss down the hallway, to stack up on a specific side. Then you can switch whenever the poison lands and take way less damage. I definitely recommend pre-farming Demonic Runes.

Atal'ai Defenders: Having several Priests in this fight felt amazing since we could chain each boss. Alternatively, Freezing Traps work really well if you have a Hunter stack.

Dreamscythe & Weaver: We tried to position ourselves past both dragons and a bit in the middle. Having a third tank to swap in was really crucial. Otherwise, our tank would get clapped.

Jammal'an & Ogom: We rolled Shadow Protection Potions, which feel like a big exploit. That's because there isn't really any Shadow damage until Phase 2. The other big thing was that I assigned a Healer to each specific group.

Hazzas & Morphaz: There is an ability called Lucid Dream that you'll want to line of sight at the end of it. This allowed us to completely skip the DPS check, and it may be patched at some point.

Speaking of healers, Resto Shamans felt like god healers in this fight. Having a shaman in each group negates much of the healing of the poison mechanic.

Here are some invaluable tips for players to adequately prepare for the forthcoming Phase 3 in WoW Season of Discovery. Adhering to these essential guidelines will undoubtedly facilitate a smoother gameplay in the upcoming phase.

Dungeons & Exploration

Dungeon grinding has gained popularity, particularly with Scarlet Monastery, offering efficient leveling opportunities. Dungeons such as Zul’Farrak, Maraudon, Sunken Temple are all viable options. While the potential for Maraudon or Sunken Temple to become level-up raids exists, it remains unconfirmed. Questing also plays a significant role, with locations like Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale offering suitable quests.

For both Horde and Alliance, Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows provide additional questing opportunities. The Hinterlands stand out as a substantial questing area, with Kalimdor offering zones like Tanaris, Feralas, and Un'Goro Crater, ideal for leveling up towards Level 50. Familiarizing yourself with quests in these core zones is crucial for effective Phase 3 progression.

PvP Reputations

Another important tip to consider is focusing on PvP reputations. It's essential to grind your PvP gear and strive for an exalted reputation with Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin factions. Achieving exalted status will unlock Level 50 bracers, which are superior to their Level 40 counterparts.

You'll have access to epic bracers and other valuable items from the Arathi Basin reputation vendors, although some items may require revered status. Notably, revered gear includes boots that increase movement speed and grant attack power, as well as a girdle suitable for Level 48 characters. While attaining exalted status may take time, many players are currently farming the STV event for logs and grinding the Arathi Basin reputation to expedite the process.

Consumables & World Buffs

The next essential tip is to ensure you have an ample supply of consumables and world buffs. While Spark of Inspiration is significant, don't overlook the benefits of Darkmoon Faire, which provides a substantial 10% damage buff. Although there's a risk of losing these buffs if you die, they can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.

Notably, the Darkmoon Faire buff remains active even at Level 39, offering a slight advantage in movement speed. Therefore, strategically planning to acquire these buffs before reaching Level 40 can provide a small yet beneficial edge.

Consider maximizing the efficiency of your consumables to save time and increase damage output. For instance, Firepower and Lesser Arcane can provide a notable boost without costing much of your SOD Gold. This strategy is particularly valuable for players aiming for world-first racing.

Flight Paths

Next, let's discuss the importance of obtaining essential flight paths. For Horde players, securing Stonard for Swamp of Sorrows is crucial, while Alliance players should aim for Nethergarde Keep in Blasted Lands. You may already have flight paths for Stranglethorn Vale and Booty Bay, but if not, it's advisable to acquire them. Prioritize obtaining flight paths for key locations like the Hinterlands.

Alliance players can access Aerie Peak, while Horde players can reach Revantusk Village. An efficient way for Horde players to reach Revantusk Village is by flying to Arathi Highlands, taking a boat to the coast, and swimming to Hinterlands. This method can be faster than the conventional route through Aerie Peak, especially considering the high-level mobs in the area.

Don't forget to obtain the flight path for Gadgetzan in Tanaris if you haven't already, as it can be highly beneficial. Similarly, ensure you acquire flight paths for Un'Goro Crater and Silithus while you're in the vicinity. Although Silithus is an endgame zone, acquiring the flight path early on will be advantageous for future use. Consider visiting Felwood, another endgame zone, if you're heading towards Winterspring. Whether you are Horde or Alliance, Felwood's flight path is located in the northernmost part of the zone.

Profession Planning

Another crucial tip is to have a clear profession plan for the upcoming Phase 3. With professions reaching a maximum level of 300, there will be an abundance of SOD content available. While it's uncertain if unique recipes aimed at Level 50 will be introduced, it's a possibility worth considering. It's essential to familiarize yourself with these specializations and develop a plan accordingly.

Blacksmithing and Engineering stand out as particularly significant professions, while tailoring lacks specialization. I recommend prioritize obtaining the Mooncloth recipe and the Runecloth Bag recipe from Everlook in Winterspring. These recipes were disabled in Phase 1, and their availability in Phase 2 is uncertain.

Crafting Mooncloth will be crucial due to its 4-day cooldown, requiring 250 Tailoring skill. While obtaining Felcloth may be challenging before reaching Level 50, it will become a valuable resource for crafting in Phase 3, particularly in Felwood.

Class Quests

Finally, upon reaching Level 50, players can embark on class quests, which provide unique and potent items for most classes. These quests are predominantly located in Sunken Temple, although their exact format may vary if Sunken Temple becomes the designated level-up raid.

Players unfamiliar with these class quests are encouraged to research them, as they offer powerful rewards. All class quests typically involve completing tasks across the world before culminating in Sunken Temple. Therefore, it's crucial to understand and prepare for these quests to maximize their benefits.

A new PvP event has surfaced in Stranglethorn Vale in WoW Season of Discovery Phase 2 - the Blood Moon. In this guide, I'll furnish you with all the details regarding this event, including its rewards, along with valuable tips on easily obtaining your epic items.

About The Event

This Blood Moon event starts every 3 hours in the Stranglethorn Zone, with the first one at midnight and subsequent ones at 3:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., and so on. After starting, every player in the zone will be hostile towards each other, except for players in a group. This also means your own faction will play against you. It is basically a free-for-all fight for 30 minutes. For every player kill, you will receive a buff called 'Blood for the Blood Loa', with 6 stacks. Every time you die, you lose one stack. This buff can stack up to 255 times. So, what you basically just need to do is to kill as many players as possible.

When you do this, you’ll receive some blood, and this blood you need to hand in at an Altar. During the event, you could just open up your map. You don’t need to do anything beside just getting close to it, and then you will receive some copper blood coins. This is a currency you’ll need in order to get your new rare or epic items.

How To Do This Event?

You can turn in your buff at 1 of the 5 Altars on the map. They will spawn during the event and are marked by red flags on your map. Simply walk over them with your buff to receive the same amount of copper blood coins in your bag. Make sure to have bag space for it. You can right-click 100 copper coins to turn it into 1 silver blood coin. 100 silver can be turned in for 1 WoW SOD Gold. When you have a decent amount of these, you can also use it to purchase one of the new Level 40 items. The Altars are also choke points for fighting, so be prepared if you go there. If you die, you receive a debuff called 'Bloodless'.

The same goes for other players. As long as you have this debuff, you don’t give a blood stack to another player if you die. The same goes for other players, so don’t hesitate to kill someone with the debuff. It has a duration of 30 seconds. Be careful around the arena. There spawns an elite mob called Kha'damu, which basically kills everyone going near. If you don’t want to participate in the event, you can go to 2 NPCs called Selarin and Emissary. If you talk to them, you can get protection from the Blood Moon and won’t fight against your own faction during the event.

After the event ends, you can turn your coins in at a Troll NPC, Myin, which can be found inside the Gurubashi Arena. Your class-specific epic 2-handed weapon - Sanguine Crusher and Bloodlight Avenger's Edge costs 15 silver blood coins. Epic rings Emberblood Seal cost 5 silver blood coins. Epic bows and one-handed weapons like Bloodharvest Blade, Bloodlash Bow and Exsanguinar cost 10 silver blood coins. Off-hand weapons, such as Swift Sanguine Strikers and Bloodstorm Barrier, cost 5 silver blood coins. You can also get a class-specific epic trinket called Tigerblood Tailsman for 5 silver blood coins.

You can also get 2 mounts, Sabercat and Raptor, for 1 blood gold coin each. For 50 copper blood coins, you can get 250 honor with the Bloodstained Commendation. And for 2 silver each, you can get a different rare cloak with spell power or crit.

Quick Tips

Talking about grouping or being a party, the best possible thing to do is to be a party of 5 players. When you have 5 players, you could even be farming creatures in the open world. Every single kill gives you 1 copper blood coin. Better to just PvP and kill other players, as you will get a lot more blood coin this way. You could also try to do this solo, but the thing is that when you kill another player and you get blood, then the amount of blood you receive will be the exact same even if you were in a group.

During the event, there will also be a new world boss and you should not try to engage it, one-shots every single player, but there’s a benefit of being close to the NPC. This will provide you with a new buff that increases the amount of blood coin you receive, but you have to stay close in order to get this buff. If you end up dying, there will also be chain spirits you can speak to to release instantly so you don’t have to move all the way to your corpse. When you release at these locations, you will also get a buff that prevents you from rewarding any blood to other players for 1 minute, so maybe this could prevent you from also being killed for 1 minute.

Here's a concise guide for the Gnomeregan raid in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 2. The Gnomeregan is significantly more challenging than the BFD raid, so understanding the mechanics for most players is crucial for a smoother clear. Now, let's dive right in.

Make sure to have sufficient SOD Gold to assist you when you get into trouble through this dungeon.

Grubbis

The boss at the beginning is called Grubbis. During the boss fight, Grubbis will spawn green gas that gravitates towards the closest player. Then the ads will spawn. Drag the ads into the gas, and the gas will disappear. Moreover, the ads will die. Don’t let the boss get hit by the gas, or he will get a buff. The off-tank should tank the Basilisk as he occasionally drops threat.

This boss is a bit of a DPS race because he starts to spawn a lot more gas clouds, and they pulse AOE damage the longer the fight goes on. I recommend Nature Protection Potions before the pull and maybe reapply one at 30%. Grubbis enrages at 20% health, and he hits really hard, so use a cooldown. You’ll still need to kill his Basilisk when the fight ends.

Vicious Fallout

Clear ads and find a suitable spot where you can tank the boss away from the Desiccated Fallout bindings on the ground. The boss will spawn 3 eradicated Goo that move towards the bindings. The Goo can be CCed, so use slows and stuns. Kill the Goo before they reach the bindings, or they will spawn a Desiccated Fallout. These mobs respawn with 6K health and cast spells at the raid. The boss will also continue to spawn gas clouds underneath him, so make sure you move him out of the gas or your melee will die.

Crowd Pummeler

Throughout this boss fight, Cogwheels will spawn and roam around the map. Don’t get hit by them. He also casts Gnomeregan Smash, which is a frontal that will knock players off the map and one-shot you. Look at what way his feet are pointing, not his hands, and never stand in front of him. At 25%, he will start charging a random player, and this ability will deal lots of damage, so make sure to heal them.

Electrocutioner

Clear out the ads and have the tank pull them against the wall. If you get the Negative Charge, run away from the group. If the tank gets the Negative Charge, just stay against the wall. The boss will cast Chain Lightning on the farthest player away from him, and the 2 closest players will get a debuff. If you get this debuff twice, you will die.

You’ll need to have 2 groups of 3 take turns being the farthest away from the boss. Once you get hit by the debuff, your group should move closer to the boss and have the second group move further away. If a person in the further away group is supposed to be soaking and they get a Negative Charge, send someone else to soak the Chain Lightning in their place.

Managerie

You need to kill all these mobs or they will respawn and keep respawning with 6K health. The Sheep boss cast an AOE Stun, so move away from it and have range DPS this one down. Have the off-tank grab the Dragon boss. The Dragon will occasionally cast a Flame Breath frontal, so don’t get hit by it.

The main tank will tank the Chicken boss and the Squirrel boss. The Squirrel will throw out random group damage, and the Chicken will spawn an egg that your group should DPS down. If your casters are going oom, they can click the red buttons on the pillars and trade health for Mana once every 30 seconds. Remember to kill them all at the same time.

Mekgineer Thermaplugg

Now, let's discuss the final boss - Mekgineer Thermaplugg. This boss has 4 phases:

Fire Phase: Tank him in the open area and run him away when he channels the Flamethrower. If you get hit by the flame, it will stack ramping fire debuffs on you, and you’ll eventually die. These fire stacks do fall off after 15 seconds, so you can have a Hunter pet taunt or the off-tank taunt until the main tank loses his stacks.

When the bombs spawn on you, you need to quickly press the red button underneath the pillar that they’re spawning from. Range DPS with movement are the best for this, but your healers may also want to click because it gives them Mana back. Make sure to kill the bombs before they hit someone so they don’t explode.

Frost Phase: The boss will cast AOE stacks of Frost damage in this phase. The more stacks that you have, the more damage the tank takes from the AOE, and the slower you move. If the bombs explode, they also leave Frost patches on the ground, which gives stacks if you step on it. The frost stacks can be dispelled by a Priest, but you can also pop Free Action Potions on this phase to avoid extra damage.

Poison Phase: Tank him in the middle of the platform underneath the vent. He will channel an AOE damage ability that does not have a castbar, but you do need to kick it or the group will wipe. If the bombs explode, they’ll leave poison on the ground, so make sure to avoid it.

Ultimate Phase: In this phase, he does all the mechanics from the previous 3 phases at the same time. This time he won’t die at 50%, so you need to take him to zero, and then the Goblin will jump out of the mech, and you’ll need to kill him as well.

This is a guide for all the gold makers out there or just people who want to make a bit more gold in WoW Season of Discovery. I’m going to be showing you the best addons for gold making, so these will help you out with gold making in a variety of different ways.

Nova Instant Tracker

This is an addons that I recommend for all the people that are going to be selling boosts or farming dungeons for gold, and that is Nova Instant Tracker. What this will do is track your lockouts, so you know how many runs you have left in the hour to do. It also tracks the amount of gold that you’ve been traded.

So when you’re doing boosting, this is a really easy way to track how much gold. And then on top of that, it also tracks how many mobs you have killed in the specific instance. Every single dungeon run, useful addons for anyone that is interested in doing boosting or farming dungeons just for WoW Classic SOD Gold.

Loot Appraiser Classic

Moving on to the next addons - Loot Appraiser Classic, is that it’s going to also track how long you’ve been farming for since you started, how much gold you have made. It’ll also give you an hourly rate that you’re going to be making per hour. It’s going to pop up in the middle of the screen the loot you get.

WeakAuras

Moving on to the next addons. This is going to be WeakAuras. You can make your own WeakAuras, and it will show you different things, different cooldowns, different abilities. You can make it do actually a lot of different things. You can get a bunch of the WeakAuras already pre-made for you from their website.

LFG Bulletin Board

Moving on to LFG Bulletin Board. This is really good if you’re selling boosts. You can actually see your post, how long ago you posted it, if anyone else is actually wanting to buy the boost. You can find it there. But the main thing for gold making for this is that you can see the Trade chat channel much easier.

So, if someone is posting an item, you can find an item and see the item much easier, see if you want to buy it, maybe to resell it. Also, you can see a bunch more different posts. It basically will sort out all the posts that are done in all the different chat channels and put them into one addons where it’s easy to follow along and see what people are after and doing.

Bagnon

So, next up, this is a bag addons, which is called Bagnon. This addons is incredible. What this does is that it shows your bags like this instead of the default version. Now, this is really good. It’s a lot easier to sort your bags and to see how much room and everything that is inside bags.

TSM

Now, the best one for gold making, this is going to be Trade Skill Master, you can also called it TSM. This is by far the best addons to have for gold making. What it mainly does is it will feed you data and prices for every single item that is in the game. So, it’s very useful for that. When you’re out farming, you know how much an item is worth right away just by looking at the tooltip that TSM will give you for every single item. We’ve got a bunch of different price points and things you can go off, so you know exactly what an item is worth.

You can make groups with operations. If you’re into selling items on the auction house or if you’re into flipping, so you can make specific groups that you want to scan. You can see how much your item is going for, if it’s a good deal to buy it off the auction house and whatnot. It also makes a good mailbox system where you can get out your mail a lot quicker and easier. On top of that, you can also post items on the auction house much easier, and whatever your operations are set up to do, it will do that for you.

Numerous players express a keen interest in gold-making, so I am going to present you this comprehensive guide to make gold. I will elucidate the paramount methods, outlining the top 5 strategies for gold-making in the WoW Season of Discovery. Without wasting time, let's delve directly into this significant topic.

I’m going to list them in order, from the least best to the best method on how to actually make SOD Gold.

5. Professions

So first up, we have professions. Now, professions are a good way to make a lot of gold. When you’re doing this, I highly recommend using TSM, which is an add-on, and it’s short for Trade Skill Master. This will give you a bunch of information about the crafts and all the different professions to know which ones are profitable. You would craft these and then sell them at the auction house.

Another method for professions is to go Enchanting and do work for people. In return, they will give you tips, and this is a great way to make some gold on the side. I’ve made up to 30 gold per hour doing this, just AFKing, spamming a macro that will post in trade chat saying I’m an enchanter looking for work. People will come up, ask for work, and they will tip you, and that is how you make gold with it.

4. Summons

Moving on to number 4, this is going to be selling summons. Now, this requires 3 accounts, and they all need to have a membership. They all need to have an active subscription, so you can all be logged in at the exact same time. What you’re going to be doing is posting in a trade chat that you want to sell a summon to whichever location. Now, there are many different locations you can actually sell summons to, like all the major cities, and you can do it in places where there are runes in Season of Discovery that can work very well.

But there are a bunch of different locations. What I’d recommend doing to find the best is to look in trade chat and see what everyone is looking to buy. If you see a bunch of people looking to buy summons to Stormwind, you’ll go ahead, and then you will set up and sell from Stormwind. If people are looking to go to Ratchet, for example, then you would set one up over there.

3. Gold Farms

Then let's talk about the third-best way to make gold is with gold farms. Now, the downside of this is that you’re going to have to trade your time for gold. Basically, you’ll have to spend a decent amount of time actually farming to make your gold. There are a bunch of different gold farms in Season of Discovery, and there are always new ones popping up.

But there are always new gold farms that are popping up, especially in Phase 2. There will be a bunch of new gold farms that will pop up, and these are the best ways to spend a lot of time and make some steady gold.

2. Boosting

The second-best method is going to be boosting. So if you don’t already have a Mage, I highly recommend leveling up a Mage. Because Mage is the best class to do all the boosting in the game, and in every single phase, Mage will remain the kings of boosting. Now, boosting is good because it goes up with inflation. The more gold people have, the more they’re willing to pay to boost their alts and their characters for fast leveling, and AFK leveling.

A lot of people will opt in to buy boost just so they can AFK maybe on their second account while they do something else and still get XP and levels. It’s also one of the quickest ways to level characters, so that is why a lot of people buy these. For example, Stockades at the moment, people pay up to like 5 gold per run, and Wailing Caverns up to 8 gold per run. So selling that, you can make a lot of gold.

1. Flipping

The best way to make gold in Season of Discovery is by far flipping. Flipping is where you buy an item for cheap and then you resell it for a higher price, and you keep the profit in between. Now, this is easier said than done. However, I do have a guide that would teach you exactly how to do this, what you want, and what you actually need to do this. When you’re flipping, TSM makes the entire process 100 times easier, and once you have it all set up correctly, it pretty much does all the hard work for you.

I want to give you 3 items that will be highly needed in Phase 2 for profession leveling in WoW Classic Season Of Discovery. These are items that you can farm now in Phase 1 and stay ahead of the curve in terms of leveling your professions and get some important items up on the auction house as soon as next phase releases.

As I stated, you can farm all these items now. However, some are easier to farm than others. I didn't want to take multiple items for the same profession, so these are the items for 3 main crafting professions: Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Tailoring.

Bring plenty of WoW SOD Gold will help you a lot when farming these items.

Blacksmithing: Iron Ore

For blacksmithing, the item you want to stockpile and put your focus on is Iron Ore. You will need a truckload of iron bars in Phase 2 in order to level your Blacksmithing, and starting to farm some now would definitely go a long way in terms of leveling Blacksmithing to 225 in the next phase.

Iron Ore is arguably the hardest item to farm on this list due to its limited spawn rate. However, I found most success in farming this in Thousand Needles, as there are multiple fast spawn points there. However, the competition can be very fierce, not to mention the higher-level mobs that prowl the area.

Leatherworking: Heavy Leather

For leatherworking, we have an obvious one, that being Heavy Leather. Heavy Leather is the next tier of leather needed in order to reach the golden rank of 225 in Phase 2. You can easily farm this item now. They're currently going for around 5 to 6 silver apiece on my server. As you progress further to the next set of leveling zones with mobs more around the Level 30 mark, we'll be seeing a lot more of these dropping, so the price will drop as well.

However, you will need a buttload of heavy leather to reach your next rank of 225 in Leatherworking. So having as much of it as you can on hand to start crafting right out of the gate on Phase 2 launch is a very good idea, as I'm sure that most people won't be getting Leatherworking maxed straight away. So, a lot of the items available from Leatherworking will probably be in high demand as soon as the phase launches.

Tailoring: Silk Cloth

Our final item for Tailoring is Silk Cloth. Tailors will need an absolutely insane amount of Silk Cloth to blast their way to rank 225 in Tailoring next phase. Silk Cloth is very easily farmed right now, with multiple locations having a very good mob respawn rate. You should be able to farm out a decent chunk of the amount you need right now. If you're unsure of where to farm Silk Cloth, you can search for some good farming spots. However, all of these spots are heavily contested, as these items are all in high demand.

That wraps up this quick guide. Bear in mind that farm locations for these items mentioned are bound to be heavily contested, as people smarter than me have already started these farms and getting their banks stuffed with these materials for Phase 2.

I’m going to be doing a thorough analysis Fire Mage guide in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, including consumables, stat priority, rotations, and other little cool tricks to min-max our DPS as much as possible. This guide is for those who want to get a little sweaty with Fire Mage.

If you possess abundant WoW SOD Gold, simply follow my guide to gain insights on Fire Mage.

Consumables

Before we get into the guide, let’s start off with consumables. The main consumable we want to have on us at all times is the Blackfathom Mana Oil. This will be key for us to hit our hit cap, which is 5%, by using this and the BFD World Buff.

Next up, we definitely want to grab plenty of Elixir of Firepower to increase our Fire spell damage by 10 for 30 minutes. This one’s pretty obvious, but we’re going to want to bring along Mana Potions as well to help keep our DPS uptime as high as possible.

Now, these next few are pretty sweaty, but if you’re all about it, then you can go ahead and grab some of these SRS. Keep in mind that, in order to get these, you will have to farm these white scrolls to get a chance to snag any of these. You can either farm them out.

Stat Priority

Let’s quickly talk about our stat priority. It’s very obvious, but our main focus is to get Spell hit cap as fast as possible, which is 5%. After that, it goes Intellect, Spell Power, Crit, Spirit, and then Stamina.

Races

Best Races For Horde: Let’s talk about the best race to play as Horde. The absolute best race to play as a Mage for Horde. For PVE, will forever be Trolled because of their insane racial, Berserking. If you’re wanting to do PVP on the Horde side, I would suggest going undead for the racial, Will of the Forsaken.

Best Races For Alliance: Now let’s talk about Alliance races for Mage. The best PVE race for Mage on the Alliance side is 100% Gnome, due to the racial pass of more intellect. Escape Artist is pretty good too. For PVP, you could honestly go Gnome or Human. Both are pretty fine.

Rotation

On to the juicy part, which is our rotation. I guess you can't wait to find out. Let’s break it down.

Living Bomb: Only Living Bomb a target if it’s going to stay alive longer than 12 seconds. It’s always nice to spam Living Bombs on everything around you to crank up the meters, but just keep in mind if they don’t stay alive longer than 12 seconds, do not Living Bomb them.

Living Flame: For living flame, basically just use it on cooldown as much as you can.

Scorch: For Scorch, we want to apply 5 stacks of Scorch to get that extra juicy fire damage buff from our Improved Scorch talent. Keep in mind, some kill times may be super fast, to where it’s only worth getting 1 or 2 stacks on the boss. Baron and Lady Sarevess are prime examples.

Single Target Rotation: Your single-target rotation will be to pre-cast Power Blast with 6 and 1/2 seconds left on the pull timer, followed up immediately by a Living Bomb. Toss out your Living Flame, spam Scorch till 5 stacks (unless it’s a super quick fight, then just go for 1 or 2 stacks), then spam Fireball.

One thing I will mention, since we only get 1 point into Improved Scorch, I suggest trying to reapply your Scorch when there’s only about 10 seconds left, because you may not be able to reapply it in time with all the miss procs.

AOE Rotation: As for your AOE rotation, Living Bomb everything and use Living Flame on the nearest target with the most health. Use Arcane Explosion as a filler if you need to move around as well. Enjoy being number 1 on the meters for AOE during your rotation.

Mana

Don’t forget to fill in some Mana Pots if needed to keep your DPS uptime as high as possible. We have to be pretty cautious with our evocation due to its 8-minute cooldown, and a lot of these bosses being extremely close together.

This concludes my little Fire Mage deep dive guide. I hope this helps you understand how Fire Mage works in Phase 1 of Season of Discovery.
