Legion leveling and gold tips.

[Kenneth]

So Legion is coming out in less than a day now and I figured I would share some of the small but useful tips and tricks for Legion gold making early on and helping you level faster. These are not game breaking things and some of them might be considered newbie to experienced players but I know a lot of people are going into Legion blindly so this should help them a lot.

Lets start with leveling faster.

1) First off I recommend starting out in Highmountain to get Emerald Winds and Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite
(Click the names to go to their WoWHead Link)

Remember Aviana's Feather? Well think of the Emerald Winds as a goblin rocket jump that had a baby with Aviana's Feather. It is awarded from the achievement Hatching of the Talon which can be obtained through a challenge by Avian herself in Highmountain. Also this is a toy just like the feather is.

Location: 32.3, 66.7 Highmountain. Closest flight point: Sylvan Falls (I recommend getting the FP because if you fail the challenge you can easily get back up to her using it)
The Challenge: Basically you need to gather 10 Emerald Orbs in a single session which is very similar to that quest in Darkmoon Faire with the fire wings and you fly through the hoops.

Here is a video of the whole process!

2) Second we have the Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite. This item is basically a Broken Isles goblin glider that lasts 1 minute with only a 2 minute CD. To get the Kite you need to find 3 treasures and 1 rare minion in Highmountain.

The cool thing about these two toys is you can combine them and generate a HUGE distance!

Now on to the Gold

I have two tips when Legion launches to help you make some decent gold while leveling.

1) First we have an easy one but make sure you sell everything in your bags that are listed as "Crafting Reagant" as soon as you can. If you want to keep the stuff for your professions obviously that is not a bad route to go either but I myself will be selling everything that is used for crafting even for my own professions. They will be going for insane amounts of gold the first day or two.


2) If you haven't looked to much into Legion than this is gonna be super helpful for you and can net you a good chunk of change. Shoulder Enchants, specifically Enchant Shoulder - Boon of the Scavenger . This is the ONLY shoulder enchant that can be traded so my plan is to check the AH for these as much as possible and buy them if you can afford it. This enchant allows you to loot Scavenged Cloth from corpses in Legion zones and inside the bag contains the new Legion cloth, Shal'dorei Silk. This new cloth will probably net you a lot of gold early since not everybody will have this shoulder enchant or even know about it.

If you are an enchanter I suggest trying to make these shoulder enchants as fast as possible before the market gets too flooded. To get the recipe you need to complete the quest - The Glamour Has Faded

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

There are a ton of other shoulder enchants as well that require reputation in a specific zone. Unlike the Boon of the Scavenger, these are not able to be traded. But just because they cannot be traded doesn't mean they can't make you some gold. Each shoulder enchant is basically a way to get the new crafting materials for each profession in Legion. (Not all but a lot of them). So what you can do is choose the enchant you want to go for and based on that decision level in the required zone. Do all the quests you can because some of these enchants require revered reputation to obtain.

Here's the list of them! (Click to check them on WoWHead)


And that's it! I hope this guide ends up being useful for some of you that might not have known about these things otherwise. If you want to prepare for Legion today, before it comes out, I HIGHLY recommend Smitten's Guide Linked Here! (Per-Class/Spec Legion Leveling Preparation Guide)
