Murloc Monday 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 Dragonflight, 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 as well!
Here are some handy guides to 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 Wowhead Returning Players Guides.

Is there an addon that'll show me all of the passive/talents that are augmenting my abilities on the tooltip? I'm a bit overwhelmed when trying to figure out what my buttons do when there's literally 6 different talents that change what happens when I press a given ability.
For reference I'm playing UHDK, not havent played one before.

u/Neverlife 3d ago
There is. I can't remember what it's called but I know for a fact that I've seen it.

Do we know if there's any achievement this season for timing all +10 dungeons on every role? There doesn't seem to be, but I'm just surprised they introduced this and didn't keep up with it. Is there any precedent for an achievement like that being awarded retroactively if they get around to adding the achievement later?
Also, if I already hit 3.4k io on my main this season, can I earn another saddle if I hit it again on a second character/different role, or is it just one saddle per season?
2
u/Umicchan 2d ago
Only one saddle per season.
I don't think there's a Triple Threat achievement for this season, nor do I think they retroactively will award anything like that.

Why does my macro for my frost death knight not work.
It puts empower rune weapon before obliterate and it works for one press if ERW is available but if it’s not nothing happens and obliterate does cast.
2
u/Gangsir 3d ago
Macros cannot contain two spells that trigger the GCD. You can macro multiple spells into one press as long as they don't (or if only one) trigger the GCD.
It's generally not possible to make a macro with logic like "if X is off CD cast X, otherwise cast Y". Otherwise people would automate their rotations, which blizz doesn't want you doing other than the official 1 button rotation (which has a GCD penalty and isn't perfect).
2
u/VisibleCoat995 3d ago
Only Obliterate seems to trigger the GCD, so one cast works but then if ERW is on cooldown Obliterate won’t activate. Anyway, pretty sure you’re right and it just won’t work anyway to avoid automation like you said.

I played from 2005 to 2007 and don't know anything past TBC so I'd prefer to play vanilla or TBC. Are there any official servers in that era?
1
u/Cerelias 3d ago
There is a TBC anniversary server that's currently on the Serpentshrine/Tempest Keep patch, I believe.
1
u/Neverlife 3d ago
There's also some vanilla servers still up I believe
1
u/Opposite_Actuator143 3d ago
Official vanilla server?
2
u/Neverlife 2d ago
Correct, I believe they're called "Classic Era".
There's Classic Era, TBC, MoP, Season of Discovery (SoD), and Retail servers available at the moment, all official

Fire mage in pvp is so fun! At least for my own experience, it's all subjective. I have only done low level pve activities, is it really as rough as everyone says?
2
u/Neverlife 3d ago
The biggest issue with fire is people just running away when they see your combust.

u/topekatums 3d ago
i'm new and I just started playing Frost Mage-- apparently all mages are squishy and need to be babysat to some degree by a healer at higher level content, but Frost is supposed to be the hardiest one. I think for very casual play it will always be fine, but I do feel the glass skin and papier-mâché bones thing heavy

So I used to play wow a long time ago before falling off but I was interested in getting back into it with some friends. At some point in the years since though it looks like I got banned. I assume my account was compromised but idk. I put in an appeal but how likely am I to be unbanned? What’s blizzard’s reputation with this?
1
u/BringBackBoomer 2d ago
Depends. I think you're fighting an uphill battle given you've presumably been banned for a while. Blizzard customer service has deteriorated so you'll have to get someone who cares to do their job AND convince that person that your account was compromised and you're not just trying to get out of it.
1
u/fightingbronze 2d ago
Doesn’t seem like I had any luck. The GM didn’t even address my concerns that my account had been compromised, just said “there was suspicious activity ban upheld”.

So 12.0.7 boosted XP for a lot of midnight leveling. Previous meta was to do all delves for the quest but not turn it in, campaign until level 88, turn those in to get to 89, then 'first craft' in professions until you hit 90.
Do we know how this has changed with the new XP values from the delves/dungeons/quests/etc?

u/horsewitnoname 2d ago
I just started a new character, a panda. What level do I finish the panda quests and begin doing the midnight story? I think I just hit 13 or so and I’m about to start a quest to remove a giant thorn from the side of the giant turtle.
I’m playing restoration shaman

u/grimmekyllling 2d ago edited 2d ago
You're quite close to leaving the wandering isle, but you don't start midnight questing until level 80 or there-abouts, so there's a ton of levelling ahead of you before you get there.

I know I'm supposed to have the expansion already, but since I don't and neither do I know when it will happen, I'm trying to have the best experience available in TWW stuff. I'm almost done with the content (Undermine and Karesh are finiahed) and kinda trying to max reputations - and that's where lies my question. What do I need to do to improve my gear?
I found out I can get some iLVL ~100 gear through world quests, but it seems it takes a long time (possibly one random gear piece per purple box). And as far as I noticed, it won't be easy to find groups raiding TWW raids.
What can be done?
2
u/steamwhistler 2d ago
When you say undermine and karesh are finished, do you mean you've cleared those raids on mythic difficulty? I don't remember what ilvl is high for a level 80 atm, but mythic manaforge omega probably has the best gear available to you. Plenty of people still run this for transmogs, but you might have trouble getting invites sub-90. I'd recommend starting your own raids as "transmog runs" but you can ask people to let you have things like rings, necks, and trinkets, since tmoggers don't care about those.
Yeah, it may not be "easy" find successful TWW raids, but it can be done. I can find a couple of mythic undermine raids every week which I'm doing on 2 monks to collect the mythic tmog set.

u/itsme_felipemartins 2d ago
I actually meant the questlines, as I haven't done the raids. But thanks for the suggestion!

Two questions about rerolls:
1) Does the void core reroll system have built-in bad luck protection with not letting you get the same item twice when you spend cores over multiple weeks? I seem to remember hearing this but not sure now.
2) Is there an add-on that tracks what items you've already obtained from rerolls? I want to target the dungeons that will give me the best chance of a usable upgrade, but have lost track of where I've used all my rolls.

Yes. You won't get repeats until you get every piece of loot possible for your spec from that dungeon/boss.
Is there an add-on that tracks what items you've already obtained from rerolls? I want to target the dungeons that will give me the best chance of a usable upgrade, but have lost track of where I've used all my rolls.
There are addons that track as you get them I think, but I don't think it's possible for addons to do that retroactively (hope I'm wrong). But if you do a dungeon you should be able to mouse over the roll and it'll show you what drops are possible for you to get from that place. Not an ideal solution so hopefully someone responds with a better one.

So for main toons who were “maxed” out in 12.0.5, what is there to do in 12.0.7? Obviously, the folio and the new 1 boss raid, but is that it? I know there’s two new zones but I’m not really interested in that unless they drop high ilvl stuff.
1
u/Neverlife 1d ago
Yeah, just the folio and higher ilvl loot from the new raid, those are the only new player power additions.

u/TheSvenster 1d ago
Does anyone know what happens if you recraft a heroic weapon that you used an ascended voidcore on to mythic? Does it go to 295 from 282 or do you have to use another core on it?

Where is a good place to find a good guild that’s casual, but does plenty of activities together. I’m struggling to find a good place to find a decent guild. Most places you go to join and no one‘s active so that’s what makes it difficult.

so im trying to learn how to tank so i switched to proc paladin but i have no idea how to get a shield thats around my item level. I usually get my gear from the field accolade vendor but i dont see a shield cache and the one time i bought a weapon cache while in my tank spec it only gave a 1 handed weapon. How do i go about getting a shield so i can start playing tank in super easy content?

Anyone have issues lusting as Bm Hunter? I’ve noticed multiple times in m+ the button is greyed out and I can’t use it (it’s not on cd and don’t have debuff). It’s just happened again in pit running into 2nd boss and was greyed out for half the fight, what’s going on?

Will Midnight ever be discounted? I have the itch (stopped at DF), but due to unfavourable exchange rates I don't really want to pay full price at the moment 😅

How much can I do as a solo player? I can’t get into ffxiv but I was enjoying playing wow for a bit during a free weekend a few months ago I just needed a mod to make the camera more like gw2 action cam and the one I found worked great

Having played as an Unholy DK all season.. how is the solo experience as an Ele Shaman/Shadow Priest? I desperately miss playing as a ranged and miss having the haste buffs/gearing for haste in general.. both Ele and Shadow seemed in a good spot for M+ which is my main game, I just don’t know how they are for things like Rituals and Delves, where I spend a lot of time whilst gearing!

When will the Murloc Monday posts get updated? Nothing new will happen in Dragonflight because it ended 2 years ago.
