Ready for 4.2 Check List

Astratia · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 6:37 pm

So, 4.2 is right around the corner, and with all that is to be expected, one would not want to miss out on anything the day it arrives. Therefore, it's best to plan and be ready come Tuesday

So, What are your plans and preparations for 4.2.

Mine are as follows :

{x} Make sure all quests required for 4.2 content are completed
{x} Clean out stables
{x} Take Screenshots of the released companions before letting them run wild again
{ } Obtain 148 vanity pets (so close! 145! )
{x} Buy a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth for quick repair and sale of unneeded items
{x} Have my Naked Armor set prepared
{x} Pick up a 'trash' spider to help kite Deth (Glassweb Spider... kinda creepy xD )
{ } Spec the Spider
{x} Know the location of the rares I intend to tame
{x} Get at least one Stack of Kibbler's Bits
{x} Practice Disengage to remove fall damage
{ } Get a Stack of Scrolls of Stamina
{x} Get a Stack of Potion of Speed
{x} Get a Stack of Elixir of Mighty Speed
{ } Organize hot keys with Elixirs, Potions and Scrolls
{ } Practice Kiting more to prepare for the spider of doom
{ } Re-spec one of my pets with heart of the phoenix for quick double sacrifice (So mean!)

Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. List your own 'To Do Lists', and feel free to shout out any suggestions

(X) Have a NAKED button from the gear manger with 9 spaces open in bag at all time on that off chance that you meet up with the spirit cats

mmjauaww · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:53 am

x Hyjal quests done on all alts that are going to watch spawn spots. (This quest apparently does it, http://www.wowhead.com/quest=25372 "Aessina's Miracle")
x Lots of gold transferred to hunter for repairs ;P
x Log out alts at the orgrimmar board for the quest that activates malornes
x Elixirs (20x Prismatic Elixir and 20x Mighty Speed Elixir)
x Potions (20x Swiftness Potion, 20x Potion of Speed, 20x Mythical healing potion)
x 20x Runescroll of Fortitude II (468 stamina buff)
x 40x Buff food (Basilisk Liverdog - haste + stam)
x 5/20 free stable slots
x 3/5 free pet slots. (Trash spider + trash hound for hysteria.. Specced and ready to be abandoned.)
x Jeeves ready or mammoth in molten front (No repair vendors there)
x Kibler's bits made (Farm AH for buzzard meat, as many as u can)
x Get naked macro for spirit beasts
x Respec for efficient taming (BM&MM / SV for kirix)
x Glyphs sorted for efficient taming (Ice trap etc.)

Food, stam buff and elixirs don't persist through death so rather too many than too few

Man, I gotta work on this.

Astratia · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:59 pm

Caelan, you made me want to jump off some cliffs and practice disengage xD Could be useful for raids where I get lifted in the air :3

EotS is great for this, since all of the bases are raised and you're highly likely to be in combat. Plus if you mess up (and go flying off into space *cough*), no durability.

Course, that's not nearly as high as you'll want to be practicing at...but it's a start.

Astratia · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:26 pm

Shame I don't like to PVP, but might have to give that area a shot. Flew on out to Stormpeaks... and I'm telling you that was a load of fun. And yay guild repairs for all purposes!

Updating my check list a little as well

Caelan · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:35 pm

Actually, I like to practice up by Aviana's shrine. There are tons of birds in the trees there, neutral, so you aren't likely to be unexpectedly dismounted, and you'll fall around the distance Ban'thalos will drop you if you're after him.

Novikova · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:36 pm

I am honestly kinda torn on this one.

I'm debating preparing or waiting a bit.

Astratia · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:51 pm

Novi, I say it's best to prepare as in 'just in case' you come across that rare you wanted, or find yourself wanting to participate in the dailies.

Better safe then sorry right?

Perhaps get yourself ready, but when 4.2 comes around, don't feel obligated to go out and push yourself to get it all done at once, but pace yourself and have fun.

Astratia · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:55 pm

Random, but anyone have a good place to practice kiting? Besides the whale shark that is.. (already achieved that) they move too slow. I feel like I'm going to have to survive the spider encounter and my kiting may not be up to par for it. Also, anyone know how many Deathstrikes it takes to get her low enough to tame?

I honestly learned by kiting those elite demons in winterspring for my level 60 hunter quest. I suggest some melee mobs, like urhm. I gotta think now. Cata wiped out most of the RAWR ELITES. Might try giants in Northrend I guess. Or those elite skeletons in Icecrown. I would stick to melee mobs.

Usually, I favor two tactics: Jump-turn shot, where I jump and turn midair long enough to fire off arcane shot or a serpent sting. Or: Sideways shoulder strafing. You CAN turn sideways and you move a /lot/ faster sideways than backpedaling. You just may need to be mindful of autoshot now that we can shoot on the run.

I'll probably do the dailies now and then and scout. For some reason I feel guilty getting a rare before a friend.
