Preparation for MoP, realm firsts

[ketrish]

Hi. There was topic about it but would liek to give You my perspective of it.

1. Addons - as less as better, shorter time if dc will happen, get addons for leveling master/turn in etc...
2. Keybindings - test them to avoind "jumping" on keyboard, let them always be in back of your mind
3. Old gear, some old set bonuses - especially buffing ones could be way much useful to do it right, macros for switch + cast and reswitch to normal
4. Clear your OS, electricy can go down - sometimes it happens and you can't do anything or almost anything. You could grab outside source power.
5. Get your real life stuffs done - college / work / family etc
6. Clear your banks. Of course GMs will be occupied by most people in 1st weeks but item logs stay atleast for 3 months so if you're missing space then delete them 1 day before release. SS them would help just incase
7. If you're borring atm then farm retarded drops of mounts pets etc - wide account pets/mounts brought 1 thing - 10 x ulduar/icc/kara etc mount farm each week =)
8. Get your alts to 85 with max cap honor/justice. Prolly like always there will be BoEs from vendors and you will be able to transfer honor into jp.
9. Get your system's option setted to what you'd prefer. Personally for me => all low, view distance = ultra.
10. Get your old friends on your friendlist. MoP will be a huge expansion and finding good AoE grinding spots would make it faster imho
11. Of course all personal consumambles is minimum what you need to do. Also check what your guild offers you, that means standards, free HS to SW etc.
12. Use HS with brain
13. Macros for using potion with every ability (will be kind of extra buff almost every cd not when you will decide, humans are not robots, they do mistakes)
14. Dailies, grab them by XP and use brain to choose them and how to turn them in.
15. About 14 - L O O S E last tol'barad before expansion. Why ? Well when I had recently quests from TB island and we lost it I could turn them in Penisila spot. Saves a lot of time.
16. Check dungeons for farming. That means if you'd have group for it and they're like 405 ilvl geared or higher then yeah there is a good reason to do them only once. Quests + 5 x rare guild stand + 5 x epic stand = 10 x 15% more exp from aoe grinding.
17. Clear your room, do anything to have clear mind.
18. Health care - get sleep well not for like 20h, get bath, eat healthy food, baah even I've met guy who installed microwave and fridge in his room.
19. With MoP there will be no flying mounts while lvling, get high lvl guild for % bonus while using FP, you could also eat while using FP - saves a time which will need to be spend.
20. Preprare your banking alts. That means if you're using auctionner like I do preprare stockpiled mats with their prices so you could only send mats and click 1 button :P - "batch"
21. Herilooms. Well they did work in cata, question remains which gonna work in mop (would be grateful for list).
22. Maybe just Maybe if there will be spot Athene's method (tagging ?)
23. If you're going for realm 1st like for example enchanting, get your guild into it - your guild enchanters, convince people to send you green BoEs, especially if all your guild mates have high ilvl they wont need anything from starting zones.
24. Some kind of music, not midn****ing but normal, I'm thinking about 2-3 sets (classic, old '80-'90) and today's "good" music.
25. If you're going for monk realm 1st - Adventurer's Journal is your friend
26. If you're going to have empty bank then pet for 150 marks from tournament (remote acces to bank / mailbox) could help also mammoth from stormpeaks (food/repairs).

That would be all for now but got this feeling* that I forgot about something, would be grateful if someone would point me out which I'm missing.

I think you're missing the part the relates to the "Realm Firsts" part of the title of your post.

"25. If you're going for monk realm 1st - Adventurer's Journal is your friend" - you can remove it
As of Patch 5.0.4, this item was removed from game. The ones that were made prior to patch 5.0.4 were not removed.

so you're expecting from me to go beta for you, lvl up 5-10 times and give you experience ? man don't be ridiculous - some things you must feel on your own skin to know : "where and when", in other ways there is no way to jump some things

Lol, then what's the point in making an actual topic about it if you're not willing to share the experience and maybe some really helpful tips?

There is a topic about this already, so as long as you're not coming with something new, as a specific zone or method, you're not really helping at all.
