Seven things to avoid doing before Patch 9.1 comes to Shadowlands! NOTE ON STYGIA – some mounts from the new Death’s Advance reputation are listed on the PTR as costing Stygia (5000 and 7500 respectively) so collectors may want to hold onto at least that much ahead of 9.1. There’s also a battle pet on the Death’s Advance rep vendor for 1500 Stygia and 50 polished pet charms. Patch 9.1 is currently in the PTR testing phase (with release estimated this summer) and it’s bringing some changes that make certain activities better to wait on or skip entirely. Some of these things are more cut and dry than others but it’s worth knowing about so you can make your decisions! Patch 9.1 is still in development and things may change before it releases later this year.

NOTE ON STYGIA – some mounts from the new Death's Advance reputation are listed on the PTR as costing Stygia (5000 and 7500 respectively) so collectors may want to hold onto at least that much ahead of 9.1. There's also a battle pet on the Death's Advance rep vendor for 1500 Stygia and 50 polished pet charms.
The soul ash thing is the saddest part of this. People (not me, I don’t care) have been farming soul ash all of 9.0 so they will always have what they need, and blizzard flips them the bird and says soul cinders are the thing now! Such a dirtbag move
meh im done with shadowlands, ill just stick to classic for now
Incredibly useful video, AND fully condensed no-nonsense no time wasted format. Subbed immediately, much appreciated! =)
..still getting Venari rep -> sockets on my main though (only really played a month and a half at the start of the expansion as a returning player on a new character, tried running way too many alts at once, burned out, yada yada – then came back about a month ago and started having actual fun learning muh druid hehe), cause I'm still climbing dem pvp ranks and we probably still have at least a month of this patch, and quite likely 2 or even more so there's a decent chance I can use them for more than a month. Also, totally not a collector, so I couldn't really care less about stockpiling stygia for mounts of all things lol. To each their own =)
What not to do: resub to WoW for 9.1 👍
I just wish there was a faster way to earn rep for The Avowed. Jesus that is a horrible horrible grind. And we alchemists need the recipe for the stone.
And I WISH Blizzard would get rid of De Other Side and Spires dungeons. Those two are a pain in my ass and no matter how much i play those, sometimes the mech explanations are worse that!!! Oh, also Plaguefall. Our guild hates all three LOLOL.
RHANK YOU HAZEL FOR THIS!!!
#1 thing NOT to do before 9.1 is resub to this unattended dumpster fire of a game.
Considering some people specualte 9.1 will come only in july or even august i really think some stuff like not farming soul ash is a good idea considering it might be three months
While it is probably to late to comment here, I do have a point to the sockets. If you socket your legendaries now you don't have to grind a new socket in 9.1. So if you plan to go for harder content in 9.1 wich "requires" sockets, you can already do that now for your lego collection.
And on the anima thing. If someone hates anima grind but wants the reward at some point, but not now. 9.3 will probably shower us in anima. Just as the other .3 patches did with war, garrison and order hall ressources.
Fakk!!!are you for real, I bought that pet item
They gotta stop give slack
What a pointless video to get views. This information is freely available. I was expecting something unknown
Shard labour achievement should be no longer doable in 9.1… what’s the point and where is the fun and challenge of doing it with a flying mount? So disrespectful for those who already did it. In my opinion that achievement should have been a requirement to be able to fly…
Did they not confirm that socket won't cost Stygia anymore?
so what about the conduits ilvl? are there any changes incoming with patch 9.1?
Dont do this thing before 9.1: Play wow
you forgot something Dont log into WoW it the same shit thats been going on since Nov
So basically stop playing the game until 9.1 (month to 2 months away). Great advice, sounds like something a casual loser would say.
9.1 is still a few years off though.
hi ppl ,i got nothing to say except im so glad i quit wow
I litterally bought the two pet-cap items 2 WEEKS before Blizzard announced the change to that. Can't imagine how pissed I was.
2:47 laughs in Demon Hunter
Thanks for putting this info together, Hazel!
1st thing to avoid: play the game
Wish they would give a FoS for the silver wing what a hassle to get haha
hey there hazel what is the nameplate you are using ? watched your previous video about that i think they are not the same and i like this one. can you share please ?
Having the mindset of "oh it well be easier to do later on" is so bad for an mmo. I never want to do current content achievements because it will always be easier next patch. So i end up stuck in a loop doing past content b4 i do current. In 9.0 I've just been doing BFA stuff cuz it's easier. They need to get out of this loop of completely dropping all of the 9.0 content.
I am an adult father with a full-time job and I have played this game pretty much since launch. At this point in time I don’t even have a main anymore because the little bit of time I do have to play I want to try out all the different characters get a real feel for them by the time I get to play one a couple hours I’m ready to try a different character so I haven’t been able to focus on anything I have literally nothing done in this expansion so far except getting like 45 characters to 60 I did take about a month or two off
So…. I guess I should just save my valor points until the next tier comes up…
Love the video Hazel, finally some wow content that's not griping
For the Soul Ash, I think people still need to grind , it can be trans to alt ,so that people can use them to some reroll alts
How about changing covenants? Any changes to that in 9.1?
That odd feeling of realizing that you have more pets than Hazelnutty even though you are extremely casual about collecting pets. I bought the extra pet capacity because I was tired of having to manage bags full of pets I couldn't learn.
Mega Soul Ash will be a stack you can send you alts
Pretty sure Valor is gonna be account shareable as well
First video I've seen of this channel. The narrator has one of the most pleasant voices I've ever heard.
I just started Shadowlands and mainly do pvp, what should i do now I'm 60?
Is it worthless to farm arena gear now bc 9.1 is coming ?
Regarding soul ash, it was kind of mentioned but the explanation on this one did seem a bit hazy. As of now on PTR, you do still need it for any rank 1-4 legendaries. If you craft a new legendary and want 5 or 6, you will still need the full amount. Considering how much effort you put into ALTs, completionism, or just crafting numerous legendaries because over the course of Shadowlands and balancing you may require a new legendary to stay on top, especially if/when dual legendaries become a thing.
Regarding Stygia, I would recommend still doing Ven'ari casually, even just weekly quests as the rep is ok-ish to get and the socket will be useful on your current legendary if it fits. Putting in a small amount of time now by doing her weeklies will most likely be the easiest way to put a socket on legendaries compared to any new socket versions in season 2.
Okay, this can be a stupid question, but you mentioned that if I have rep on a main with Ven'ari, I can get any alt without having to grind that rep again. Does this work if my main is on Server A and the alt is on Server B (non-connected). I moved an alt to run with friends on another server and am grinding.
I just started back into the game – YOUR FIRST HINT was amazing for me, saved me me so much time and effort xx
i need to upgrade my first legendary from rank 2 to rank 5 ( i resubbed 1 month ago). from what i understand i should wait 9.1 then to not waste soul ash? ty for explanation!
this was so helpful thank you
