Just wanted to expand on the whole halls of lightning point which watching back i didn't feel like i expanded enough on - The reason i said it COULD still be better than running round questing is because of how contested levelling zones will be, under no circumstances would it be quicker than questing uncontested.

does venonhide ravasaur quest go away?
Will Cata classic be a new server and we all need to start from lvl 1? Or is this on existing server and increases lvl cap?
7:41 forgot about Aeonaxx rare spawn flying mount in deepholm
You missed an important one: "Now that we can see that Ragnaros has legs, can we also see what shoes he is wearing?"
Yes. Red Air Force ones
how does a dragon wear jeans
Blue Suede Shoes :)
Ragnaros is a cross fitter. He is wearing Nike metcon series definitely
Your channel has grown so much! So proud!
Great video as always!
20:30 worth adding that the bear mount you get now in Zul Aman is a re color , to distinguish it from the ones obtained in the raid version.
And ZG gives you a panther mount now instead of tiger.
Question about the return of world bosses such as high lord gruul and previous pre-patch events such as the dark portal, scourge invasion that on a old video that you mention that blizzard may consider having them back in game on the ptr with the quests connected to them is that still a thing or no longer a thing scott??
Thank you for this! I started in Classic WOW and I've only played to Wrath so far.
I see a Scottejaye video I click, simple stuff
with the stonekeeper shard farm, do you need to buy the commendations before the prepatch?
I have a question for you, as a new or returning player. How am i to be able to pug into a raid specially when every spam i see is gdkp? I know for sure going to cata i dont have the gold bag for such things what am i to do? my work schedule does not allow me to commit to a guild raid schedule. Some advice would help! thanks in advance.
So let’s say LFR is there , is it gonna be same difficulty of 10 or 25 normal or a difficulty by itself and drop lower Ilvl gear? Never raided in retail but I know that LFR
loved the video, but I have one more big question concerning druids; will we FINALLY be able to use costumes while in form? I have farmed up a number of trinkets/toys and would love to actually be able to use them besides AFKing in Org...
question: i know heirloom gear doesn't scale from 80-85, but do u still get the extra xp from shoulder/ chest?
Scott I swear to god if Blizz see this and fix the WG commendations, I'm gonna hold you personally repsonsible for all the time I've spent farming SKS's xD
lolol
question: i used ur link for the restexp 80-81 prep but it's suggesting quests that i've already completed. Any idea how that's possible? thanks for all the great vids btw.
What should I do with my Defiler's Scourgestone? Swap for saronites (120g) or wait for the pre patch and swap for gold?
Scourge stones and sidereal essence are staying.
Can anyone find a source to where they talked about Account Wide Achievements at blizzcon? Like Scotte talked about at 9:02. I do not remember this and I personally can't find a source for it. Edit: I checked the beta and currently Achievements are Account Wide, but titles from Achievements are character bound.
I’m pretty sure the bear mount from ZA will look different from the original. In retail it was kind of a faded purple hue instead of dark red.
What'll happen to Defiler's Scourgestones? Will they get converted, or should I spend them now? Also, will transmog be retroactive with everything that we've had soulbound, or do I still need to keep all this junk in my bank until the prepatch drops?
I would think they get converted to gold just like all other currencies barring Emblem of Frost, and Triumph (which are converted into justice points)
What happens to excess triumph and frost badges if you have way over 346? Do they get converted to gold, or do you lose them?
Someone please help me answer this. If my first priority upon Cata Classic release was to get my herbalism maxed out and farm a ton of herbs, can I access all of the zones at level 80, or do I need to do all the quest chains before I unlock access to the zones?
Hey scotty. If i vendor items now instead of keeping them, will i still be able to transmog them for CATA? even tho i dont have them in my bag up untill Cata. Does the AI remember the item if it once existed on my account i mean :D
No that feature is only in retail currently
@@Zieabtw Cheers, thanks mate. Is Tmog cross account tho?
@@alexanderapel1545 I'm not sure, I'm hoping they add some of the retail QoL when adding transmog. It's been speculated, just gotta wait and see
are archeology items like the sword will be account bound or i have to lvl specific archeology on every class i need that ? or if i get arch on my druid and get it i can send over to my paladin ?
Epic gear items will 100% not be account bound, and you will be lucky to get them at least on your main. If you intend to do that on every class, Blizzard needs to bring back the Insane title just for you.
The weapons and armors are bind on account.
If you have wotlk max gold of 214k, will your emblems still convert to gold? Thanks!
So for prepatch honor will be converted to a much lower amount - will the gear cost less then? Just dont want to cap at 75k honor to save for buying wrathful and then get screwed
Been asking on the forums/reddit/ etc and cant seem to get an answer, so just to shoot a shot here does anyone know if prepatch introduces the 10 OR 25 mechanic for raids or is that coming with Cata in May? I know that its a per boss system but my Guild cant find any confirmation one way or the other if we can still do both until Cata or if everyone will have to lock into just a 25 or a 10 starting with the prepatch.
Cata raids
it's coming in prepatch, although on original 4.0.1 patch it was limited to Icecrown Citadel only.
bro wow players are crazy, i love this game
Great vid
Where is that link for the spreadsheet i was tolde about lol
Do you believe it will be possible to transmog legendary weapons?
Can we track ore nodes and herbs at the same time in Cata?
+ Will I be at a disadvantage if I am not using RestedEXP? - No, absolutely not! + Will be at an advantange if I use RestedEXP? - Yes, absolutely! You will level 20% faster! Bruh :(
when exactly are ZG mounts removed? i assumed prepatch.
Banger vid
Is there an honor cap in cataclysm/will we be able to cap it in prepatch?
The cap is 4 thousand, not sure about second question
6:15 about the best tank and it being blood, I agree. But the best off tank is a Feral Druid.
I want change my human to worgen (paid method). Can someone tell me when it will be available? Thanks
I liked question 29! 😃
could you please elaborate on question 33?
Only thing I dont get about the emblems: Why is the gold conversion better for Conquests and lower? Like, why make us calculate our 346 frost and triumphs, than convert the extras into conquest so we get a better rate? Why not make all extra emblems over cap the same rate? Am I missing something, did they change rates?
Any word on pre patch fresh servers?
As a plate wearer, can you transmog other classes tier sets? Like a paladin transmogging the warrior T1 set?
No, unless you have a piece that isn’t tier that looks like that tier piece
@@Orly90 ah okay thanks, also say I get a T1 piece of warrior gear on my paladin, considering it will be account wide may I use that on my warrior?
@@OrionStarzz The only tier sets which can be transmogged for other classes are the original Naxx T3 sets, as the class requirement is only there for purchasing the tier, not equipping it. That said it's only obtainable now through the Black Market AH, which isn't added until MoP.
@@OrionStarzz By current rule, you can only learn the look of an item, if you can equip it. Meaning no, if you loot a warrior tier set on your paladin, you can't learn the outlook of it. (In retail, it will change in the next expac, but I don't think it will have anny effect in Classic)
@@csanadjakab7717 right okay, thanks for the info I appreciate it 👍
Hey just a quick question that i have yet to see anyone mention. When prepatch hits will yellow int gems change, will red brilliant gems for spellpower change to int?
i believe so. during raid a few weeks back my Druid buddy was talking about having to re-gem his equipment when pre-patch dropped. Mind you he's a bear tank so take that with a grain of salt
Theres also a stone drake you can get as a mount in deepholm it flys circles over the map
Amazing video as always. Meat and potato info!
Are achievements account wide? Anyone Know a Official Post?
So will my WOTLK character go into cata or do I have to start over?
damn good vid keep it up
Will achievements be account wide?
Prepatch and no guides on Icy Veins/wowhead yet??
I am missing big one. In original cata launch blizz alowed paid race swap to new races. Will this be a thing?
I would be shocked if blizzard didn't do that as its free money for them :D
when is wotlk+ classic coming?
does venomhide ravasaur quest go away in cata
Do heirlooms level to 85 or stop giving bonus exp at 80?
Have heard rumors that emblems is down to a 2.75 rotation and not 11.58 for the justistpoint, any confirmation?
We dont know
Regarding question no 17. Does that means dungeons xp runs will be unworthy?
arcane and fire mage being the best class to play. dont let him lie to you
I find it weird that Blizzard extended Ulduar patch in WOTLK cause we missed out back in OG WOTLK, but then they made Cata 8 months long from start til last raid, Firelands only getting 3 months (being during the busiest holiday season too) like what Blizzard?
Ulduar was their crowning jewel of design, and then they shortly after release made it irrelevant. They wanted it to breathe this time around. Now, my assumption would be they're looking at Number drop-offs from WoTLK and SoD, and decided that a faster pace release would be more beneficial for player retention. Nothing is set in stone so it might change, who knows.
He said it in the video, they’re sprinting to MoP.
I'm kind of worried about if they accelerate everything and don't increase drops, might be harder to get closer to BiS.
If it’s possible logically, they would skip cata ang go to mop directly as they know many many players will not play this xpac
Well, there is Classic WoW, there is Hardcore, there is Season of Discovery, there is Retail - and there is gonna be Remix (Pandaria (&probably others gonna follow [they might also test to end Classic with these Remix Stories... Who knows])) and there is Cata Classic. That's lot of shit and tons of Stuff. So, how can we make the best out of it ? Let's cut down the Timeline. People gonna go crazy between the content they wanna play. Damn you Blizz...
You missed the mount in Deepholm, Aeonaxx rare that drops Reins of the Phosphorescent Stone Drake
will there be heroic+ in cata?
Apparently so according to blizzard but even the regular heroics don't work on the beta lol
@@Scottejaye fingers crossed! cata hype, cata hype! thanks for the content!
Will Archy epics be avaliable in prepatch like ZinRokh
No
yes
I dont see why it wouldnt be available? While the profession are.
no
I'm disappointed you didn't mention Master Pat Frick in your answer to q69. another gr8 vid Scottie
Haha cant wait for Master Pat to make a return for MoP vids!!
i think raid finder should just be a separate instance than the actual raid. like instead of RF dragon soul, they go to a bigger version of a dungeon or something for some in between gear to help ilvl
the only thing that genuinely makes me happy is the fact that people have/are coming to terms with the fact that cata was never bad it just that hard time of coming after wrath and then before mop two xpacs that people consider very highly
#70 are they gons merge onesided pvp servers?
Yes GDKP will still exist in Cataclysm, but players (imo) should expect many less runs and much higher requirements set by the groups. If you think about how many shitty GDKPs there are in wrath, there's doing to be many more shitty ones in Cataclysm when there are more than 1 mechanic per boss.
imagine thinking hlk has one mechanic
@@cococock2418 Don't say it like hlk is difficult in any stretch of the imagination. It's an extremely simple fight that a lot of people still somehow can't do. That will be exacerbated in Cataclysm when normal mode fights have the same challenge as heroic LK.
Wasn't there a recent blue post saying that for the first 2 weeks the justice points cap will be 4200?
Does anyone know if I can race change to a Goblin with a level 80?
With the way they changed Wrath, Watch out for quests that give Justice, You don't want to loose out because youre capped. If they do the same in Cata that is.
Pumping out content to the people! Keep up the great work Scottejaye!
#37 The dailies now also give skillups for completing.
What are the best ARENA/PVP professions Scotte, please send help
GDKP has been banned in SOD, hasnt it? . I wonder if they will announce the same in Cata?
What will happen to sourgestones and essences?
can multiple people get quest credit for the same enemy in cataclysm?
No that wasn't added until legion
Is transmog in the game on launch?
Probably coming in the prepatch
Did they confirm that you can race change to goblin and worgen in prep patch
I wanna know if they are gunna un nerf the xp in rdf
Nice.
I remember Maloriak dropping tier leg tokens on hc
Will there be fresh Cata servers?
Finally, tired of these pally’s stealing my leather gear from my rogue and pretending it’s necessary
There are plenty of leather gear that are bis for ret pallies in wotlk…don’t blame the players for blizzard not making the game right. That’s why they brought in specializations based on your armor type in cata.
@@Orly90 Minimal gains just because it sim’d that way? I will blame the players because blizzard as a collective didn’t tell everyone that it was ok to prioritize gear when other classes only had one option. When ultimately, if you knew how to pump dps, you could still pump with plate gear
@@matthewm1606 I am with you, but from the paladin side, I never took other armor than plate in BC and WotLK, it felt weird to be forced to wear a leather g-string as a holy warrior for 1% dps increase.
@@csanadjakab7717 Leather G string lol, blizzard is too woke to let us have any fun like that
you forgot to mention the phosphorus stone drake, also quite rare in deepholm
do 10 man raid and 25 man rain share the same lock out?
Yes
why no written format for people who dont want to come and search a video timeline that doesnt have timestamps ???
Assuming Enh Shammy would fall under rogue/feral in the spreadsheet?
😊😊😊 im in for the long haul 😊😊😊
You missed some. Can Mages wear gloves? Can warriors use weapons? Lets go to 420!
lets go scotte
I know some of you might be persuaded to get restedxp for leveling but trust me on this, you do not need it, I know scottejaye mentioned this but you quite literally get no benefit from it. Might as well donate personally to him if you actually doing it to support him
My guild q'd for LFR with 20 of us and we needed on everything so our guild could get it. They need to cap how many people can q at once.
Wasn't the bear removed before wotlk?
yes... that's a bit of trolling right there...
There is a recolored version in the revamped ZA dungeon. You have to beat a timer to get it and you have to roll on it.
yeh, you only get access to the cata ZA bear. Blue ish color
@@gollese it’s more pinkish compared to the original red version
Thank you everyone for clarifying it. Haven't played retail in 5 years and cant remember cata anymore
Yes, Cata was the "beginning" of rubbish talents that removed the possibility of hybrid specs, which killed all creativity around them. That is actually one of the very few things I disliked about Cata Regarding faster leveling 60-80. On the retail Cataclysm, they just reduced the amount of XP you needed for lvl 60-70 and 80 Another thing worth mentioning and everybody forgets about it, is that flying in the old world is not working for any content behind the TBC loading screen (meaning Silvermoon, Ghostlands e.t.c)
Yea regarding faster levelling your talking non classic catacylsm, this time round they have already confirmed they are increasing the speed of 60-80 even further but we don't know how yet because they don't like communicating about anything that isn't season of discovery.
@@Scottejaye Oh. Then my bad. I missed that one. But probably because it was already quick so making it even quicker kinda seems unnecessary to me o.O Sorry for misunderstanding then
There was no "creativity". Stop lying. Just because you had a bad talent build didn't mean you were some kind of creative genius.
I think you added question 29 to get exactly 69 questions ;)
Nice
i wish they would let you level 60-80 in eastern kingdoms and kalimdor.
Indeed, thats what i miss in classic.. Even though 1-60 are goated in cata as it is, but i like what they did in retail and let us level pretty much anywhere.
Just make it so that if you do LFR then you are locked and you can't do normal that week
Making a "new" introduced feature completely useless. Great
@@TurionsAshes Not useless - fits its purpose perfectly. IT's for shitters who aren't good enough or people who can't commit time to guilds.
@@cococock2418 classic players and not like retail players, classic is easy enough for everyone to enjoy playing with other ppl, and trust i've seen a tons of bad players during wrath, they all has guilds and fun
Keep the 69 jokes coming :)
Even Sub rogue is good in cata though blizzard had to tell us that, lol. But only 1 disc priest is required for raiding.
