Man, so much cool stuff happens at level 100 that I think I forgot to take screenshots of most of it! All of a sudden you have like 18 different quests in your Garrison (ok, I admit that might be a slight exaggeration).
The first quest I saw was to upgrade my Garrison to level 3. Unfortunately I did not have enough Garrison Resources to do so immediately, but I don't think it will take too long to acquire the rest - only need about ~400.
The second quest was to enter the Proving Grounds. I only knew what this was because I had read a bit about it on Reddit, though I'm still not quite clear on what purpose it servers. Essentially you have to pass certain levels before trying different raids, I think? Either way, I gave it a shot on the Bronze Tank level (Bronze, Silver, Gold are the levels that I know of). I failed the first time because, well, my gear sucks. I am largely wearing gear from questing through the 94-95 zone because I didn't want to skip anything. It also probably didn't help that I forgot to use one of my skills that increases Dodge by ~65%. Oh, and I hadn't even selected my level 100 talent either! So uhhh, yea. I managed to barely beat it the second time after selecting the talent that consumes three stacks of Lacerate and then reduces the amount of damage you take for, I think, 12 seconds? I don't really know what completing that will do for me, but just by entering the proving groups I was given a very nice upgrade for a weapon and then got even luckier when it rolled the weapon upgrade (the DPS went from ~160 to ~273!).
There was a third quest in the major Garrison hut that is a daily quest to collect Apexis crystals. There is a solo one for 800 and a group one for 1000. I believe these are used to upgrade gear, but I don't know how much it takes yet.
In addition to hitting 100, I finally managed to get a high enough ilvl to run Skyreach. I got two pieces of gear from the run (both great upgrades) and then a third when I handed in the daily quest from my Tavern. In addition to that, the long quest line for the epic ring starts in Skyreach, so once I finally got around to handing that in I was given this beauty of a ring:
All in all, a lot of nice upgrades in a short time. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to try and run Molten Core. For the 10 year anniversary of World of Warcraft, Blizzard re-opened MC and completing it gives you a sweet mount and an epic hat!
Whoa! Now that's a ring!!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's just the first level of it! It gets upgraded as you complete specific quests.
