<...> it's more that the questline and the raid instances are tedious to me. <...>

And leveling characters isn't?

I guess that I'm curious why you'd level so many if you're not going to do anything with them. *shrug*

For my six, I have two "mains" (shaman and hunter), an Emergency Backup Tank (warrior), a "LFR healer queue enabler/sha crystal generator" (priest), and then two that I don't do much with, but they cover the rest of the professions for me and I goof around with them from time to time (druid and lock).

The mote of harmony thing kills alts for me; that rules them out for crafting which was the main reason I levelled alts.

Huh? It's very, very fast to get a full farm up and going once you have the Commendation. Like, 4 days worth of Tillers dailies. That's it. Then you get 1.6 Spirits a day just from Songbells - that should be plenty enough for anything you need.

I have no idea what any of that means. :p

In every expansion I have had the objective of have one level cap of each class With all professions capped so I could be self-sufficient.

After reaching that objective I see no reason to work my ass off to keep 10 alts geared.

There's the farm in Valley of 4 winds.

At revered, you can plant motes of harmony that grown in 1 day. Since at exhalted you got 16 spots, you can effectively get 1 spirit and 6 motes every day for 2 minutes work.

Once you get a first character revered and buy the commendation that doubles rep, it barely takes a week to hit exalted with Tillers starting from 0.

Oh okay. Don't know if I can be bothered planting cabbages for pandas for 2-3 weeks worth of dailies on my main though. I don't really have time to login everyday so it's a massive grind looking at the Icy Veins guide.

[Flex]

I have 6 90s. 3 are 496+ which is awesome since 2 of them have done nothing ToT LFR related, so I can skip an entire raid on two fo them. But they are mostly there for the Tillers. 2 of them are doing Songbells and 4 of them are doing Snakeroots. I'll have over 100 Living Steel and over 1000 ghost iron bars on patch day for all the new Engineering stuff.

If you can't log in and do the Tillers dailies you could cycle the plants on the farm since harvesting them gives a bit of rep and it'll probably take longer to zone in than do that.

Okay I'll have a fiddle with it sometime this week.

Actually, no. I usually will level with someone (my current GM), so it kills the tedium.

This is the first expansion since BC that my paladin hasn't been my main, because we needed healers and I don't like paladin healing (even if I'm decent at it). Plus, sometimes I find I like a class more than I did last time.

Even if you can only jump on for a few minutes, you can get most of the daily set done. They're always in a fairly small area, and it's just "kill a few of these and pick up some of those" and you're done with like 4 of them.

Just skip the ones that are annoying and/or time consuming. (i.e., Goats, Fung's Kite Tour, Marmot Stomping, Weed War, Hillpaw's dumbass chickens, etc)

Edit: Related, and appropriate for the thread - I finally got one of my characters to Best Friend with all the Farmers. Sunsong Ranch is pretty crowded now on that guy.

[bldavis]

honestly...most of my toons are 90 for their professions..
and no cloak yet because i got majorly burned out between 5.1 and 5.2 so i stopped working on it all together

if it wasnt for the rep grinding with wrathion that is required i would have a few of them probably..
as i wind down crap on my main (raiding main) then the others will be played more and more to get geared up and to get their cloaks and such

[Teranoid]

Professions are pretty much the only reason to have so many. I have so many 90s that do nothing because I'm beyond sick of LFR trying to gear them up for ultimately no reason so I've stuck with one main alt and the others are just for extra mount rolls on world bosses and professions.

This. As much as I try to get other toons up as raid alternates, I go back to the hunter and avoid the rest. Playing a bit with my lock now, but that's mainly because there's nothing outside of raid to do on my hunter till 5.4 hits. Once the patch hits, only thing my alts will be seeing is professions cooldowns. (My spriest that I just benched for good is up to 5 runestones, but that's mainly because it was my raiding main in T13.).

Major. Alt. Burnout.

Second Invincible drop in 3 weeks.

Remember you can champion the rep, and gain 200+300+200 rep from normal scenario, hc and hc scenario, which is like 30 min work at best.

[bldavis]

and those all double once you hit revered and buy the rep booster

[Worldie]

Also one of the tillers dailies reward you with a ironpaw token, which you can convert in one of the key mats for feasts that sell on most realms for 100g each

And all dailies are in same place except 1 (which i always skip ) so not really a big deal really. 5 min work.

That quest does not give you Tillers rep.

[Worldie]

Waaaaat. Madness.

Well still it's in the same place and usually just about killing a couple mobs...


....Other than the damn goat one.

[bldavis]

fuck that goat one...esp as melee

[Lieris]

I got the ilevel for TOT LFR and have 10 - 4 sigils.

[KysenMurrin]

I never had a problem with the goats on my Enh Shaman. I just AoEd them down and made sure I wasn't standing with my back to a cliff.
