@SpawnofYakub_ I didn't play on launch day. Problems with our ISP. Otherwise I've been playing since then. Partly because I didn't realize that story would be gated behind Renown, after lvling my main to 70 I went on to level a few alts with useful Professions. Also partly because I really wanted to run the main story first, I ignored a lot of side quests and the like.
@SpawnofYakub_ But, since the Bonuses activated in 10.1.7, I've been making more progress on Rep. But it's still going to be a long frigging time to max to 20 Rep. *maybe* I'll be done before 11.0 launch.
This is higher renown then I was able to get in game playing the whole expansion 😅 working in construction doesn’t let you spend time on these thing like blizz plans for you to be able to
Haha I feel for you mate! It sounds great with the next expansion being very alt friendly and they stated that want to respect that players time too, so hopefully it’ll be even more accessible for you next expansion 🙌🏻
Ironically when I was a teenager and a big asmongold fan, I was so hard against boosts and anything that saved time for casuals. I used to think "It's a game made for no-lifers exclusively" and now I am the poor shmuck who grew up and has a job so it's lovely to see this stuff honestly.
Thank you for the details. I do miss the WoD boost where it boosted your crafting too, but I get why they don’t do that anymore. (I think that was the boost that used to give that)
This boost is OP, sends you straight into end game at emerald dream where you got 3 weekly’s that award 441+ ilvl gear. Access to LFR from the jump, you will gear up for normal Raid in less than 2 weeks. Extremely beginner friendly. Now if it came with a link to Wowhead or Method build guides that’s all a new player would ever need
I got this bust in package… it took me a while to decide on what should I used it. All the life I played melee (dps and sometimes a little tank). I decided to try healer and created and boosted shaman. To learn rotation I spend a few hours healing dummies (and to find build which will fit me), then I jumped in lfg raids to optimize my build, rotation and skills. Now I am 1st or 2nd on a table always (in comparable ilv score) and ready to progress. 🎉…, I really didn’t want to go through old content
Oh wow, yeah, I'll be getting that. It's giving better gear than my gnome mage main is wearing. I'm just freaking amazed that it's going to have more stuff than we normally get. Tier isn't a big deal for me on that, but the gear boost and rep is well worth it.
The boost is actually really strong. A LOT of people complaining about it not being converted into tier, but in literally 3 days that's going to be irrelevant.
Yeah you’re right mate, almost time for a new season etc so it’s all good! And the boost will still be decent even if someone boosts in 3 months time, the gear will be perfectly fine to go straight into the emerald dream and mythics etc
@@HavocR24 This boost gives you entrance for LFR which is the most important point...Also it's a LEVEL boost, not ITEM level. Next time shut your mouth before you say something you at least wont sound stupid
I’m entirely new to WoW I was going to buy the epic version but now idk what I should do I don’t want to ruin my gameplay.. but I’ve played a few hours and decided I want to be all in.
If they make old reps account wide with the Warbands, leveling new characters through the Dragon Isles should increase renown as well. Wonder it they will keep paragon bags.
Damn that rep boost is amazing!! I had no clue thanks for the video m8. Pretty much unlocks every different color variant for all the dragon riding mounts is why I want it
I recommend to level at least on 60 or even 69 and then activate boost, then you might be already bonding with character and know how to play it. Or if you are veteran, use it on farming alt.
I'm starting to stack boosts now from expansions. I always EXP cap each expansion ( 60 Characters Max LvL ). Can't use the boost on New Races cause you miss out on heritage gear. And no more room to make new chars with Races i already unlocked Heritage Gear. Saving the boosts till Blizzard Raises the Account Limit Again.
@@zuzanna7631 that one unemployed friend on a tuesday morning: "let me level up my 58th character, already have 11 hunters but i might need this 12th one"
After 3 years I boosted my Hunter, I started to play in Mist (had only few levels there) and I am fooking lost xD. I kinda need to learn hunter from scratch, so first thing on the menu was to hunt a mog from mist, rest will come in time.

Hola @lazy its like 15 years ago I stopped playing wow. back in the day it was burning crusade and I had two characters (mage and druid both on max lvl) Now iam thinking about a return. Ofcourse a lot of things are pretty new for me... also some things are still the same. With the boost option, for me it sounds like : make ur own character through the game (for the testversion I was able to get a lvl 20 mage already) and the boost could be used for a 2nd character. I could keep it until I know which race/class I wanna have, right? What would be ur suggestion for oldschool people like me? Use the boost for a 2nd character (which could be needed or just a different option to play) or straight use it and enjoy the endgame?
Hey! Wow it’s been a while ey, for a return after so long, I would say level up again first and see how you feel, use the boost at a later time, that would get you back into the swing of things a bit easier and potentially in a less overwhelming way, but it is up to you! Also because, I don’t want to recommend boosting and then you find you don’t like your boosted character and end up levelling anyway. There is the speedier levelling to look forward to coming in the pre patch next week too, and the event to get some catch up gear, so it’s a very good time to start back. Hope you enjoy your return!
Hi, I am new in DF expansion and boosted character straight away. Now I am strugling to get to know what is going on in this expansion. How dragon riding works, reputation, storyline etc. Is it possible to start questing on Dragon Isle just like a new character to learn everything from the beggining but with my main lvl 70 character?
Hey! Welcome to the expansion :) Yes, so if you go to the waking shores you should be able to start the original dragonflight campaign quests there, that eventually take you through to some dragon riding tutorial quests. You'll get a fair bit of gold from doing all those quests too and learn about what the heck is going on! I do have some other guides on the channel about gearing up, dragon riding etc, that should help you too, but don't worry, it's always quite overwhelming coming back after a long break, you will get to grips with everything eventually :D
Hope this answers any questions about the Enhanced Character Boost! Any further info you need, leave me a comment and I will get you the answer 😁What are you going to use your boost on?!
I'm not complaining because I think this might be useful to a lot of people. But I was so proud I managed to get to ilvl 427 on my own without time to raid lol, it doesn't matter though, I'm pretty excited with all the new direction. I just wished they didn't streamline that much levelling up, you don't even get to really know your character until the last 10 levels, all mobs are exceedingly easy until then (even for non-hardcore players like me)
Yeah you’re right mate! It wil be useful yeah usually get a lot of people returning around expansion announcement time I think, we shall see anyways! Still be proud of your accomplishments! 🙌🏻
Honestly, i think it'll also help with people coming back late in the expansion and new players coming in just wanting to JUMP IN, yknow? them not having to grind stuff out and just be able to enjoy the game is great IMO, at lot of players are going to feel like "My work has been invalidated" but thats not the point, they are moving towards a system of "respecting the players time behind the keyboard". its an MMO so obviously grind is built IN to the experience but i see two major thins this is useful for: 1) Say you want to ge t anew friend into the game, but you dont want to have them feel the awful lonliness of grinding levels in BfA while they figure ot how to fix their new player experience 2) youre an altoholic like me, and have played every spec, and just want a max level DPS spec (because those take forever to level) on the other faction, or another race? @@LazyBeastGaming
Nice and clear video, I have a question: Does the boosted character finish the Dragonflight story line and get the zone quest achievement, as well as the zone exploration achievement? It is important since they are necessary in Dragon Isles flight unlock upcoming in 10.2
Thank you! Now this is something I couldn’t test unfortunately, as once you’ve done it once, it unlocks for all your characters, so my boosted character already had things explored and world quests unlocked etc, so I’d need someone else to be able to give you a super clear answer there unfortunately
Hi, great video. Only issue I’ve found with the boost is that I don’t have any of the dragon riding glyphs ready to use. Do you know the reason for this?
If they had added in Account wide flying it might be something to get. But I still cannot see getting it knowing that that gear you are going to get will be replaced in the next expansion. But this is what the game is all about now Gear, Gear and Gear forget anything like skills since you you really need is a higher gear score. One the of many ways Blizzard is taking the fun out of the game.
The unfortunate thing is there's a lot of people not getting a full set of gear and the renown, while visually showing "unlocked", not ~actually~ being unlocked because the vendor doesn't recognize the boosted levels. Just ahead of that disappointment is Blizzard's Customer Support appearing to not care at all about it. This, obviously, isn't affecting everyone but it's affecting enough to be noticeable.
Yeah it’s a shame there’s these issues, I guess they could have tested this a bit more before putting it out there, I’m sure it’ll all get fixed in time but it’s not a good look is it 😬
@@pooky088 I haven't tried any vendor rewards yet. My druid did not get shoulders, bracers, or a belt. I have a ticket that's been open for 2 days because the first response was an automated reply.
Now then, good question, I can't actually test this as once you've completed the DF campaign on one character you don't need to do it again on your alts, the quests were available for me but I didn't need to do them and it had world quests on my map straight away. If you've already got access to world quests now though, you'll have that on your boosted character straight away too.
Quick question, do you still need to do the main campaign if you enhanced character boosted? How do you unlock emerald dream quest line? Do you still need to do this. Just recently came back into wow was very big into raiding back in WOL, Cata, MoP. Thanks for all your help sorry I have been struggling to find answers.
Hey mate, so you don’t need to do the campaign as far as I’m aware, I could check this as I’d already done it on my main. But they have said as of 10.2.7 which is next week, that all campaign unlocks will be available regardless of you completing the campaign or not. Unlocking the emerald dream starts with a quest from Shandris in Valdrakken as far as I remember, it’s been a while haha! She sends you to the plains to do a wuici quest there
So i used the boost on my frost DK. When I opened the adventurer’s footlocker, I forgot to change my loot specialization to unholy for a 2H weapon. Anyone know if blizz would be willing to fix that? Don’t want to have to play the breath build.
Ahh damn, id submit a ticket about it mate if you haven’t already, I know it sucks but other than that, see if there’s any world quest 1H’s that are available first or run some dungeons or do the dream surges and buy a weapon using the coalescence stuff, that’s probs the most guaranteed way to get you a 1H quickly :)
did do this without playing dragonflight before; no flying mount unlocked so im stuck with flight paths and not being abeal to upgrade gear to this new set bonus thingy? no clue what to do or where to go and not being abeal to fly is a s h't place to be in, if i knew it would be this bad i would just level up manually
So the next expansion is Dec 2024. What do we do for a whole year with Season 3 being the last season for Dragonflight? Thats a big big gap. Ot have I missed something?
Yeah apparently there's going to be a season 4 in dragonflight and all the raids will do the fated rotation again like they did at the end of shadowlands
Never played the Dragon Flight expansion yet. I seen in the video that the boost does not complete any of the previous DF campaign for me. Is that campaign mandatory for me to go back and do for my progression? Or can I ignore it and move forward? Thanks.
Hello :) You can ignore it and move on, although to get to the Emerald Dream when the patch launches this week, you'll need to complete the last campaign quest with Shandris that starts in Valdrakken, it doesn't take long to complete at all though!
Great video, just wanted to double check, do you still get to complete the loaam niffen questline after you boost so boost to 12, the the quests get you to max renown?
I would say at this point looks like they lost a significant amount of subs. It's more important for them to get them back then is it to annoy the 10% diehards.
The renown thing especially. It's crossing a line I feel like. I've been slowly building renown every now and then throughout the entire expansion and now people are just buying to pass me
So as a returning player who quit late WoD and now got the War Within and the boost I should boost my alt to get the rep bonus and then play my main through the expansion? I didn't really understand the completed quest part of the video. Does it mean that the Dragonflight story on the boosted character is completed/almost completed? I don't want to miss out on anything but an account rep boost sounds nice. I'm a bit confused what to do.
Yeah don't worry! it is a bit of a mind boggle for someone coming back, you can boost a character and simply play that if you wish! But if you want a rep gain increase on your main, boost an alt and then play your main to enjoy that, it'll make sense when you see the buff your main gets in game :D
@@LazyBeastGaming Yeah, coming back is pretty confusing. My original realm is dead so I was thinking about boosting a new character on a populated realm and basically start fresh and while I'm at it try out the Demon Hunter and Evoker as I've never played those classes.
Hi I'm coming back to wow haven't played Dragonflight so If I boost my alt that rep advantage will automatically be there for my main because I would like to experience everything on my main for the first time and what is the nuwe lvl rep cap ? And does it matter which realm I use the boost does It need to be on the same realm because I'm looking into changing realms as well Thank you
so on my main character my renown lvl is around 10 at most right so if I boost an alt to 70 that would mean I would get the worthy ally to help with my main character ?
So, returning WoW player since...Legion. What happens to all the reps BEFORE DF on a boosted character? I'm pretty ignorant of the game since then except for the story.
last xpac i played was bfa, i just bought the boost with dragonflight, login, and man theres alot of stuff to get to know, dragonriding etc, all i wanna know is flying available for me? or no - thanks
It should be working on your other character once you boost, although I think there are some bugs with things currently, just waiting for blizzard to fix/clarify
I've been thinking about returning to wow and pre order this expansion because i have never played dragonflight + it comes with dragonflight if you dont own it. is it really worth 50 dollars of my bank account?
I don’t know if this happened to anyone else but my boosted character doesn’t have any of the dragon riding abilities, I have all the glyphs but not abilities I even stared on the the quest and did the dragon riding quest and still nothing. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Hey mate, did you allocate the glyph point son the dragon riding ‘talent tree’ bit? Got to do that for each new character you make (sorry if you’ve already tried this😅)
@@MrRawwr543 I had submitted a ticket I tried it the way the ticket said too. But it didn’t work…so I submitted another one I’m waiting for today’s update and then I’ll go in and try if it works for me I’ll let you know.
If I use the level 70 boost on a character that's already progressed a lot in the Dragonflight campaign, will it mess up my progress? Like will it automatically force me to start doing the end part of the campaign instead of continuing where I left off?
I haven’t been able to find a clear answer on this yet. Does this boost also max out your black dragon reputation, allowing you to get the black scales for your drakes and what not?
Hey! Sorry this took so long, it appears it does not unfortunately! But it is quite quick now to unlock that, have you got a long way to go with the reps?@@jd802north
if i didnt do dragonflgiht quest line on any character and buy a boost, will i not have to the questline in the walking shores etc, cause now i cant even use portal to stormwind in valdrakken haha, i only sit at pvp vendor queing pvp, and cba doing quest line, so it would be nice if that was a thing :)
Yeah would be nice, it should say somewhere if it doesn't allow you to get the heritage set through boosting, but I'm sure that is still the case that you have to level the character to get the heritage, it's nice that its only level 50 though now, pretty quick to do really!
Hey man - I just used the boost on a new character, but the rep bonus is not in effect on my main (one faction lvl 27, rest sub 10). Any idea as to why?
Hey mate! Hmm definitely been a fair few reports of seemingly what are bugs like this, we’ve still not had any blizzard clarification on it as far as I know, but it sounds like something that will be fixed shortly
I have not played for a while, i dont like dragon riding, they said they would bring normal flying back in Dragon Isles, have they, and do we know if normal flying is in new expansion. Thanks for your video. Wont play anything new until i can just fly as before
In the patch coming up this Tuesday you can unlock old world static flying by exploring every dragonflight zone (including the new one) and completing all campaign quests in every dragonflight zone including forbidden reach and zaralak caverns. I gotta say though, you are very much in the minority in your opinion. Dragonflying feels like actual flying, what you want is swimming through the air.
It won't address it on your main.. but.. if you boost a character so it gets the 20 renown, then you'll get boosted rep gains on your main as a result of the alt being level 20 renown with them. So it'll be way easier for your main to catch up.
I've done exactly this, but my main doesn't have the buff and not getting boosted reputation. I even opened the renown menu to check, they're all 20 and loamm 12, still nothing. :/@@LazyBeastGaming
I boosted a dwarf shaman last night, noticed the reknown 20, when I went to buy the scale colors. It says rank 15 but it says it’s locked. I can’t buy even though we have 20 now. So you think that’s a bug?
Yeah definitely has to be a bug mate, probably working on it as we speak I’d imagine! Unless there’s like 2 staff left in the office and the rest are at blizzcon 😅
@@LazyBeastGaming I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that my new shaman had rank 20 and rep. I haven’t been motivated to get reputation. This expansion, but I know I wanted the customization options for dragon riding so when I saw that last night, I got excited but then it bummed me out.
im gonna pre order heroic edition but i might change my mind later, can i upgrade my preorder to epic edition later just by paying the price difference?
Nice one mate, enjoy! Yeah it usually works that way, it may not be possible straight away, but they do normally release an 'edition upgrade' kind of bundle, down the line :)
Hallo...i want to start playing Wow again and i will create a new account for it.Should i order the Epic edition to play?It will give me this character boosted immediately or should i have to wait to get release in december of 2024?
Hey! You can do the preorder and get the epic boost straight away if you like yep :) I’d probably recommend keeping hold of the boost unless you’re absolutely sure what class you want to play, but maybe level something up first so you can pick the game up again and get used to it all!
@@Ioannisg95 yeah Warlock is a great class, they all are to be honest, in their own ways, you can't really go wrong! Defnintely play what you think you would enjoy the most and have fun with, rogues are brilliant too!
If I pre-purchased the war within expansion do I get to play dragonflight before its release? or do I need to wait for war within to release? I havent purchased DF expansion yet
I boosted a priest and find myself playing my paladin instead. Terrible mistake, but oh well atleast the REP exp boost has been nice while going through the story.
Do you mean like a physical one? There most likely will be yeah usually gets announced later down the line, fingers crossed for you if you are after one 😀
Thanks, I still got the level 60 boost as well for the same reason. Anyway, I can see you responding to everyone in the comments, really nice dude and really great videos you're making. Keep it up!@@LazyBeastGaming
Is it worth it if I am just coming back to WoW. I haven't played Dragonflight at all but somehow WoW is calling me back :D. What are the down parts of using the boost. can we use the Revival Catalyst without doing any main campaign? thank u
Hey, yeah it’s worth it! It’ll get you caught up nicely and you can still do the campaign stuff if you want to catch up on the story. The revival catalyst you can use straight away after you hand in a tiny quest (which is basically just to go to the catalyst) but you just can’t use the boosted gear for tier, so you’ll have to go do some content to get some other gear and turn that into tier
ohh damn that sounds really good, thanks for answering! They really made is super friendly for people who wanna come back :D Who knows maybe see you in Azeroth@@LazyBeastGaming
The Rep increase makes it worth it just by itself.
SO far I've only made to 16 Renown on my main with Valdrakken... everything else is *way* behind
Nice mate, enjoy the boost! :D
Since when do you play? I've had all the base ones maxed out after like 2 months of launch.
@@SpawnofYakub_ Not everyone cares about rep. I don't really have any progress in any renown, and I've been playing since launch as well.

Honestly, i think it'll also help with people coming back late in the expansion and new players coming in just wanting to JUMP IN, yknow? them not having to grind stuff out and just be able to enjoy the game is great IMO, at lot of players are going to feel like "My work has been invalidated" but thats not the point, they are moving towards a system of "respecting the players time behind the keyboard". its an MMO so obviously grind is built IN to the experience but i see two major thins this is useful for:
1) Say you want to ge t anew friend into the game, but you dont want to have them feel the awful lonliness of grinding levels in BfA while they figure ot how to fix their new player experience
2) youre an altoholic like me, and have played every spec, and just want a max level DPS spec (because those take forever to level) on the other faction, or another race?
@@LazyBeastGaming
Seems as if the buff to alt from the lvl 20 rep isn't work I'm really hope they fix this fast, cause it's the only reason I rushed to buy this.
Yeah they have to fix it man, doesn’t look goes does it 😬
This helped, thank you! Liked and Subbed.
Great stuff thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. Can’t decide what to boost.🤔
Thank you! Yeah it’s always tricky choosing isn’t it haha, so many options and outcomes!
Nice and clear video, I have a question:
Does the boosted character finish the Dragonflight story line and get the zone quest achievement, as well as the zone exploration achievement? It is important since they are necessary in Dragon Isles flight unlock upcoming in 10.2
Thank you! Now this is something I couldn’t test unfortunately, as once you’ve done it once, it unlocks for all your characters, so my boosted character already had things explored and world quests unlocked etc, so I’d need someone else to be able to give you a super clear answer there unfortunately
Hi, great video. Only issue I’ve found with the boost is that I don’t have any of the dragon riding glyphs ready to use. Do you know the reason for this?
Thanks Luke! Hmm you should have them providing you’ve unlocked them on a main, but you do need to spend them again, hope you managed to sort it!
If they had added in Account wide flying it might be something to get. But I still cannot see getting it knowing that that gear you are going to get will be replaced in the next expansion. But this is what the game is all about now Gear, Gear and Gear forget anything like skills since you you really need is a higher gear score. One the of many ways Blizzard is taking the fun out of the game.
I didn't realize it was an enhanced boost, i boosted a mage to have one at 70 and its now more ilvl than my main haha
Haha can’t grumble at that! 😂
The unfortunate thing is there's a lot of people not getting a full set of gear and the renown, while visually showing "unlocked", not ~actually~ being unlocked because the vendor doesn't recognize the boosted levels. Just ahead of that disappointment is Blizzard's Customer Support appearing to not care at all about it. This, obviously, isn't affecting everyone but it's affecting enough to be noticeable.
Yeah it’s a shame there’s these issues, I guess they could have tested this a bit more before putting it out there, I’m sure it’ll all get fixed in time but it’s not a good look is it 😬
I also cannot buy the rewards from the quartermaster. Did you find any fix ?
@@pooky088 I haven't tried any vendor rewards yet. My druid did not get shoulders, bracers, or a belt. I have a ticket that's been open for 2 days because the first response was an automated reply.
does the 70 boost also complete the Dragon Flight storyline? I need this to see the world quest, elite spawns, etc.
Now then, good question, I can't actually test this as once you've completed the DF campaign on one character you don't need to do it again on your alts, the quests were available for me but I didn't need to do them and it had world quests on my map straight away. If you've already got access to world quests now though, you'll have that on your boosted character straight away too.
Fast, direct and well explained. thanks bud! great job.
Thank you! Always like to keep it concise in my videos and not waste anyone’s time 🙌🏻
Thank you for this video. You are a good grandpa🎉
haha not a grandpa yet fortunately! You're welcome!
Quick question, do you still need to do the main campaign if you enhanced character boosted? How do you unlock emerald dream quest line? Do you still need to do this. Just recently came back into wow was very big into raiding back in WOL, Cata, MoP. Thanks for all your help sorry I have been struggling to find answers.
Hey mate, so you don’t need to do the campaign as far as I’m aware, I could check this as I’d already done it on my main. But they have said as of 10.2.7 which is next week, that all campaign unlocks will be available regardless of you completing the campaign or not. Unlocking the emerald dream starts with a quest from Shandris in Valdrakken as far as I remember, it’s been a while haha! She sends you to the plains to do a wuici quest there
So i used the boost on my frost DK. When I opened the adventurer’s footlocker, I forgot to change my loot specialization to unholy for a 2H weapon. Anyone know if blizz would be willing to fix that? Don’t want to have to play the breath build.
Ahh damn, id submit a ticket about it mate if you haven’t already, I know it sucks but other than that, see if there’s any world quest 1H’s that are available first or run some dungeons or do the dream surges and buy a weapon using the coalescence stuff, that’s probs the most guaranteed way to get you a 1H quickly :)
did do this without playing dragonflight before; no flying mount unlocked so im stuck with flight paths and not being abeal to upgrade gear to this new set bonus thingy? no clue what to do or where to go and not being abeal to fly is a s h't place to be in, if i knew it would be this bad i would just level up manually
can you wait till war within and get better gear?
Now to wait if it will also give endgame gear in 10.2.
Nah I don’t think it will tbh! Even still, the 424 gear will be enough to head straight into the 10.2 content
So the next expansion is Dec 2024. What do we do for a whole year with Season 3 being the last season for Dragonflight? Thats a big big gap. Ot have I missed something?
I believe they plan to do a 10.2.5 in the spring to move into the new expansion. But still, I hear ya…
Yeah apparently there's going to be a season 4 in dragonflight and all the raids will do the fated rotation again like they did at the end of shadowlands
Never played the Dragon Flight expansion yet. I seen in the video that the boost does not complete any of the previous DF campaign for me. Is that campaign mandatory for me to go back and do for my progression? Or can I ignore it and move forward? Thanks.
Hello :) You can ignore it and move on, although to get to the Emerald Dream when the patch launches this week, you'll need to complete the last campaign quest with Shandris that starts in Valdrakken, it doesn't take long to complete at all though!
Great video, just wanted to double check, do you still get to complete the loaam niffen questline after you boost so boost to 12, the the quests get you to max renown?
Thank you! The quests should still be available yep, not sure they would get you max renown though but it’ll be a good chunk!
I don't know. Giving the renown boost and also 3 days early access to the new expansion, is really just pushing the limits.
I would say at this point looks like they lost a significant amount of subs. It's more important for them to get them back then is it to annoy the 10% diehards.
The renown thing especially. It's crossing a line I feel like. I've been slowly building renown every now and then throughout the entire expansion and now people are just buying to pass me
I've been away from the game for about 4 years, lol... I'm completely lost, is there any sort of good guide out there to catch me up?
So as a returning player who quit late WoD and now got the War Within and the boost I should boost my alt to get the rep bonus and then play my main through the expansion? I didn't really understand the completed quest part of the video. Does it mean that the Dragonflight story on the boosted character is completed/almost completed? I don't want to miss out on anything but an account rep boost sounds nice. I'm a bit confused what to do.
Yeah don't worry! it is a bit of a mind boggle for someone coming back, you can boost a character and simply play that if you wish! But if you want a rep gain increase on your main, boost an alt and then play your main to enjoy that, it'll make sense when you see the buff your main gets in game :D
@@LazyBeastGaming Yeah, coming back is pretty confusing. My original realm is dead so I was thinking about boosting a new character on a populated realm and basically start fresh and while I'm at it try out the Demon Hunter and Evoker as I've never played those classes.
Damn, I just used the old boost to 60 for my new alt 😢
Hi I'm coming back to wow haven't played Dragonflight so If I boost my alt that rep advantage will automatically be there for my main because I would like to experience everything on my main for the first time and what is the nuwe lvl rep cap ?
And does it matter which realm I use the boost does It need to be on the same realm because I'm looking into changing realms as well
Thank you
Yep the boost will work on your main, and it doesn’t matter about server :) welcome back!
so on my main character my renown lvl is around 10 at most right so if I boost an alt to 70 that would mean I would get the worthy ally to help with my main character ?
Thats exatcly my question as well haha
So, returning WoW player since...Legion. What happens to all the reps BEFORE DF on a boosted character? I'm pretty ignorant of the game since then except for the story.
last xpac i played was bfa, i just bought the boost with dragonflight, login, and man theres alot of stuff to get to know, dragonriding etc, all i wanna know is flying available for me? or no - thanks
Hey, yep flying is available for everyone in dragon flight and you get it really early on as you level up!
Is the word of worthy ally buff Active from start of y gonna do something before its on ?
It should be working on your other character once you boost, although I think there are some bugs with things currently, just waiting for blizzard to fix/clarify
What would be the best class to boost to power through the 10.1 questline as it seems a bit long.
They can all smash through it to be fair mate, whichever class you feel best playing really and which is most fun to you is what I’d recommend!
Really annoyed, i got the boost and grinded to renown 26 with the accord for dragon armor but its still locked
Hmm it should be fixed now I think :)
Probably boost my dk I recon. Not played it since bfa
Yeah DK’s are so good!
Do my saved boosts from previous expansion purchases upgrade to an Enhanced Character Boost?
I don’t think they will! But you never know, if they do, blizzard should provide some clarification just so you know, but yeah, I think it’s unlikely
I've been thinking about returning to wow and pre order this expansion because i have never played dragonflight + it comes with dragonflight if you dont own it. is it really worth 50 dollars of my bank account?
Yeah tbh it's a really good deal especially if you don't already own dragonflight :)
I earned a lot of flightstones working my way up to dragonflight pathfinder. Better to save them till the new patch on the 7th?
I don’t know if this happened to anyone else but my boosted character doesn’t have any of the dragon riding abilities, I have all the glyphs but not abilities I even stared on the the quest and did the dragon riding quest and still nothing.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Hey mate, did you allocate the glyph point son the dragon riding ‘talent tree’ bit? Got to do that for each new character you make (sorry if you’ve already tried this😅)
Did you fix this? I Just boosted and started with no glyphs to put in the tree?
@@MrRawwr543 I had submitted a ticket I tried it the way the ticket said too.
But it didn’t work…so I submitted another one
I’m waiting for today’s update and then I’ll go in and try if it works for me I’ll let you know.
@@MrRawwr543 all you have to do is go into your spell book select the general tap and look for dragon riding and select the ones you want
New to WoW here. If i pre-order the war within do I also get the expansion of dragon flight?
Welcome to the game, you indeed mate :)
If I use the level 70 boost on a character that's already progressed a lot in the Dragonflight campaign, will it mess up my progress? Like will it automatically force me to start doing the end part of the campaign instead of continuing where I left off?
You should be able to continue where you left off iirc, however, it should make this clear before you boost!
Does the alt have to be on the same faction for the rep benefits or can I boost an alliance alt and get the rep benefits on horde too?
It should work across your entire account as far as I know mate!
I haven’t been able to find a clear answer on this yet. Does this boost also max out your black dragon reputation, allowing you to get the black scales for your drakes and what not?
Good question! I’ll have to check that for you tomorrow when I’ve got chance to log in 😀 (if I don’t reply by tomorrow evening please do nudge me!)
@@LazyBeastGaming nudge nudge….
@@LazyBeastGaminghello!!
Hey! Sorry this took so long, it appears it does not unfortunately! But it is quite quick now to unlock that, have you got a long way to go with the reps?@@jd802north
@@LazyBeastGaming I have two more levels to go. I have about 200 key fragments, but the framing‘s never seem to drop for me.
if i didnt do dragonflgiht quest line on any character and buy a boost, will i not have to the questline in the walking shores etc, cause now i cant even use portal to stormwind in valdrakken haha, i only sit at pvp vendor queing pvp, and cba doing quest line, so it would be nice if that was a thing :)
I wonder how it affects heritage gear, would be nice if they allowed that
Yeah would be nice, it should say somewhere if it doesn't allow you to get the heritage set through boosting, but I'm sure that is still the case that you have to level the character to get the heritage, it's nice that its only level 50 though now, pretty quick to do really!
Typically boosts are allowed on base races' heritage armor, but disqualify allied races.
I was wondering if there is any upgrade on Shadowlands renown?
does it boost anything on the passed exp?
ive been waiting for a better expac so ill enjoy it
Is the boost supposed to appear automatically or do I have to active it? How can I use it on my new character?
i did a character boost to lvl 60 a while ago and the character was still weak. dying instantly
Hey man - I just used the boost on a new character, but the rep bonus is not in effect on my main (one faction lvl 27, rest sub 10). Any idea as to why?
Hey mate! Hmm definitely been a fair few reports of seemingly what are bugs like this, we’ve still not had any blizzard clarification on it as far as I know, but it sounds like something that will be fixed shortly
Appreciate the quick response!
I have not played for a while, i dont like dragon riding, they said they would bring normal flying back in Dragon Isles, have they, and do we know if normal flying is in new expansion. Thanks for your video. Wont play anything new until i can just fly as before
they making all mounts to be like dragon riding and allowing them all over azeroth
Dragon riding mechanic is taking over the old flying mechanic in the new expansion but old flying will still be in until then
In the patch coming up this Tuesday you can unlock old world static flying by exploring every dragonflight zone (including the new one) and completing all campaign quests in every dragonflight zone including forbidden reach and zaralak caverns.
I gotta say though, you are very much in the minority in your opinion. Dragonflying feels like actual flying, what you want is swimming through the air.
There’ll be 2 options which you can choose between: Dynamic Flight (Dragonriding) and the traditional flying
You will be able to use both everywhere
Everyone provided great answers here nice one guys!
what if we buy it now. is it the same? this gear must've been outdated by now
i boosted a character to 70, i get the renown boost but i cant buy anything for dragonraiding customs. anyone have this problem?
I think they’ve fixed this now mate :)
I did not receive any reputation points after the boost. Does somebody know how to proceed to show the points?
So my main is way behind on renown. Will the boost adress that?
It won't address it on your main.. but.. if you boost a character so it gets the 20 renown, then you'll get boosted rep gains on your main as a result of the alt being level 20 renown with them. So it'll be way easier for your main to catch up.
@@LazyBeastGaming Thanks for the reply!
No problem mate! :)@@Brucelectricmoose
I've done exactly this, but my main doesn't have the buff and not getting boosted reputation. I even opened the renown menu to check, they're all 20 and loamm 12, still nothing. :/@@LazyBeastGaming
I didnt get shoulders, waist and wrist on my boosted Druid and ive seen other people with same issue. Will it be bugfixed?
Hey that’s very odd, yeah I’m sure it will get fixed as long as people submit tickets/bug reports :)
Same here, same exact slots and also on my druid. I submitted a ticket but no response yet.
I boosted a dwarf shaman last night, noticed the reknown 20, when I went to buy the scale colors. It says rank 15 but it says it’s locked. I can’t buy even though we have 20 now. So you think that’s a bug?
Yeah definitely has to be a bug mate, probably working on it as we speak I’d imagine! Unless there’s like 2 staff left in the office and the rest are at blizzcon 😅
@@LazyBeastGaming I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that my new shaman had rank 20 and rep. I haven’t been motivated to get reputation. This expansion, but I know I wanted the customization options for dragon riding so when I saw that last night, I got excited but then it bummed me out.
What hapones if you never get that lvl 70 bost? I pre-ordered yesterday
If it never arrives I’d submit a ticket or contact them through the blizzard store :)
im gonna pre order heroic edition but i might change my mind later, can i upgrade my preorder to epic edition later just by paying the price difference?
Nice one mate, enjoy! Yeah it usually works that way, it may not be possible straight away, but they do normally release an 'edition upgrade' kind of bundle, down the line :)
@@LazyBeastGaming ok thank you
im new player so if i boosted will i be able to play df from the beginning or just the last content of df?
Welcome to the game, you get to play all of the DF content!
Stupid question but can I use it on a character that's already lvl 70?
Hey mate, nah I don’t think you can but I’ve never tried, are you trying to get that for the reps?
@@LazyBeastGaming yes
@@LazyBeastGaming I am very far behind on gear and rep and don't really play alts so I figured maybe I could use it on my main
So if you wait for 10.2 to boost a char, do you get there renown level 11 too?
Good question that, I don’t think you will though nope, as that would definitely go down as pay to win
i bought war within about 1 hour ago and have not recived my boost yet does it take a while afte purchase?
Hey, I think it can do yeah think it states somewhere it can take up to a day
so ive been off wow for five months if i come back does that mean my level 70 charcters will have a gear upgrade? or is that only for charcter boost
hwo bout professions and if so is there any limitation such as you have to be lvl ... to also get that boosted?
No profession boost with this one unfortunately!
@@LazyBeastGaming Thanks for the quick answer and great clip
You're welcome mate, cheers!@@ShadowlickFWG
Can I use this on a already 70 to just boost that chars gear and rep?
I don’t think so mate!
Does it boost renoun for new characters you make after the boost?
I just bought it, and there is no boost level option in the character list. Will it appear when it's released?
I had this problem too. You have to click the icon on the top right, on the character selection screen.
Hallo...i want to start playing Wow again and i will create a new account for it.Should i order the Epic edition to play?It will give me this character boosted immediately or should i have to wait to get release in december of 2024?
Hey! You can do the preorder and get the epic boost straight away if you like yep :) I’d probably recommend keeping hold of the boost unless you’re absolutely sure what class you want to play, but maybe level something up first so you can pick the game up again and get used to it all!
@@LazyBeastGaming I am thinking to play a warlock.Do you have something to suggest?What is your opinion about Rogue class?
@@Ioannisg95 yeah Warlock is a great class, they all are to be honest, in their own ways, you can't really go wrong! Defnintely play what you think you would enjoy the most and have fun with, rogues are brilliant too!

yea u got DF with it
I boosted a priest and find myself playing my paladin instead. Terrible mistake, but oh well atleast the REP exp boost has been nice while going through the story.
I bought this pack but i didn’t get my character leveled up or anything
my boost are all extremally buggy...make sure you look at yours! pre prepared for it to fuck your hotbars too.
Do you know if there will be a collectors edition?
Do you mean like a physical one? There most likely will be yeah usually gets announced later down the line, fingers crossed for you if you are after one 😀
RIP, got all 14 classes to 70 during turbulent timeways
Got everything on 70 and rep maxed out. I wonder if its still somehow worth it to get one char in another realm with this.
Yeah maybe mate depends what you want the character for, otherwise probs best off keeping hold of it for now until you feel you need it later
Thanks, I still got the level 60 boost as well for the same reason. Anyway, I can see you responding to everyone in the comments, really nice dude and really great videos you're making. Keep it up!@@LazyBeastGaming
Is it worth it if I am just coming back to WoW. I haven't played Dragonflight at all but somehow WoW is calling me back :D. What are the down parts of using the boost. can we use the Revival Catalyst without doing any main campaign? thank u
Hey, yeah it’s worth it! It’ll get you caught up nicely and you can still do the campaign stuff if you want to catch up on the story. The revival catalyst you can use straight away after you hand in a tiny quest (which is basically just to go to the catalyst) but you just can’t use the boosted gear for tier, so you’ll have to go do some content to get some other gear and turn that into tier
ohh damn that sounds really good, thanks for answering! They really made is super friendly for people who wanna come back :D Who knows maybe see you in Azeroth@@LazyBeastGaming
