A guildmate says that the price resets every Tuesday, but I haven't verified that.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-70525758714895674162018-08-31T10:09:40.054-07:002018-08-31T10:09:40.054-07:00When I did that starter quest I saw only 3 portals...When I did that starter quest I saw only 3 portals, because there were 3 mages in the room, and I thought portals to Ironforge and the Exodar was unexpected.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-55252922493710328542018-08-31T10:07:32.030-07:002018-08-31T10:07:32.030-07:00Yeah, but right now, everyone is chasing gear to g...Yeah, but right now, everyone is chasing gear to get enough item levels to be able to raid. From that point of view, island expeditions can't compete with dungeons or even world quests.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-36353280638228805642018-08-31T05:01:03.748-07:002018-08-31T05:01:03.748-07:00Right now, the main incentive for Island Expeditio...Right now, the main incentive for Island Expeditions is getting to 40K azerite collected so that you get the 1,500 rep with your war faction and the 2,400 AP to your Heart of Azeroth.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-49466569630908204792018-08-31T04:56:08.601-07:002018-08-31T04:56:08.601-07:00Speed running is required for victory in island ex...Speed running is required for victory in island expedition, but it gets in the way of exploration. At heroic setting (9000 azerite), you barely explore 20-30% of the island when you win.<br /><br />So the experience is that you run around, kill things, grab azerite, and then it's over. Not something that I would call interesting.souldrinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763196121640763477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-35086514745931722842018-08-31T04:46:47.229-07:002018-08-31T04:46:47.229-07:00Also, the azerite amror reforger is not mentioned ...Also, the azerite amror reforger is not mentioned when you get insrtuctions on azerite armor use (because you get instructions in Silithus before going to Kul'Tiras).

At the introductory quest, you get to the portal rooms and meet human mage, dwarf mage and draenei mage, who open portals to their respective cities. When they are done, there are 3 portals in the room.<br /><br />I suspect that portal to Silithus quietly opens when you unlock world quests.souldrinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763196121640763477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-86341205247786259662018-08-31T03:47:19.930-07:002018-08-31T03:47:19.930-07:00The portal to silithus was created by you during o...The portal to silithus was created by you during one of the starter quests, together with portals to capitals.Caldazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841412794943726014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-5356405035182765462018-08-30T18:34:11.000-07:002018-08-30T18:34:11.000-07:00I'm really disappointed that the last bit of s...I'm really disappointed that the last bit of story is mythic gated. Tried a random group and just got eaten alive on the last boss. Cool encounter, but unforgiving. Sitting at 327, I thought it wouldnt have been so bad but it was a pug.<br /><br />Island expeditions are cool for a bit. I feel like theyre missing something. Maybe structure, maybe rewards. Its like doing a dungeon for the experience only. I guess that ok, but any other incentive would rock.
