Can't switch flight mode back to dynamic

Hello, big noob here I started like one week ago. I'm very sorry if this has already been asked I'll delete if necessary. But I couldn't find an answer to my situation. I'm playing with a Dracthyr, I could fly on dynamic mode since the beginning, but as soon as I reached lvl 20, it switched me to regular flight. I prefer how fast the dynamic mode is, but I can't switch? When I tried looking up how to switch flight styles, I read about finding the option in the Mounts tab, but mine is empty. No switch options in there.

https://imgur.com/a/asXadHF a screenshot of said mounts tab. No switch options in the spell book either. I'm very confused!

How to unlock the black werebear form as non-pvper

I have the base form from legion, but I have not done much pvp and am not super interested in it. Is this something I can realistically pug or would I have to buy a carry or something?

Significance of embellishments

Should i craft myself a 619 weapon if my current one is already 619 with fitting stats?

Would it be worth it for the embellishment?

Returned player - old gear in post?

Returned today and have tons of gear sitting in the post.

I assume this old gear can be sold or dumped if not got an enchanter? Or is it worth keeping somewhere for transmogs or something?

A bit bewildered with all this stuff in the post and empty bags!

How do Timewarped badges & vendors work?

I know that with the event there are a couple of vendors in Tanaris. There isn't a lot that I want from the vendor. But how does timewalking vendors normally work? Like if there is a legion timewalking event, can you buy specific items available during legion with those badges? If so, is there a place where you can see what each timewalking vendor from every expansion has to offer?

Timewalking Dungeons random got super hard

So, before level 70 I had no issue with doing the timewalking dungeons, but now I am level 72 and my item level is 254 and now they're almost impossible to do and I am a protection tank.

I just about instantly die and my armor gets immediately damaged, so I can't even finish the dungeon and I don't have a lot of gold from the get-go, so I can't afford to do timewalking dungeons anymore now. It's like I am not even a tank anymore.

Is that just how the scaling works? Or am I getting thrown into super hard queue?

Where can i collect the 500 Trader’s Tender (reward) unlocked so far this month?

500 Trader’s Tender reward (November 2024, Traveler’s Log) but when i opened cache (Alliance, Stormwind City) first time this month i got 500 Trader’s Tender (that’s before any completion from November 2024’s Traveler’s Log) and not 1000 TT from last month Traveler’s Log and not the ones I received this month after playing the game after they were unlocked.

What do i do?…

I wanna start healing, but... Is it worth it?

So I just started playing a little under a month, and I've been playing a dps (bm hunter and ret paladin, a little bit of havoc dh too) but healing REALLY interests me. I know I just started playing and it's a bit harder, and everyone seems to be mean to healers- I guess I'm just kind of asking what class and spec is best to start? What's the best way to practice without potentially getting rude comments cause I'm learning? Priest seems so fun but I just don't know 😭 Plus, should I just level as a dps? And I don't really have any other people to play with, either, unfortunately

BG Blitz Ranked PvP Points

Hey so I'm a little confused on how the ranked pvp point system works. For example, today during my first BG Blitz game I got +103 points taking me from 1283 to 1386. Then i had like 4 losses in a row because people forget you have to get points in BG Blitz not just kill randomly. Then I finally won another one but it took me from 1353 to 1365 so only +12. Thats a huge difference for two different wins like i was thinking the losses would have cumulated to only like +30 or something but +12? I dont understand how that works. Can anyone explain it like im 5?

Is there no way i can do heroic raids?

Hey, i used to play alot in Wotlk era, and recently came back to TWW. Im maining an assa rogue ilvl 602 and my goal would be to run heroic raids eventually, but the group find is just not happening for me. Is my ilvl too low still? Im a dad with a full work schedule, i doubt a guild raid schedule would work for me. What other options do i have?

I want to like feral but i cant

Leveled a feral up to 80 did some standard content and am at 573 ilevel now. Is it me or is it beyond squishy. I feel like everytime i fight standard mobs in the open work i need to pop all my cds to just survive a normal fight. i really had a fun time leveling it etc but just cant anymore. never died so many times in game before💀

Any ideas on what im doing wrong or what the deal is? Im pretty familiar with my rotation etc

Broken Shores

Heyo, made a DH as an alt from my As.Rogue and I have just been completely steamrolling dungeons to make leveling not as painful. I remembered I liked the class flying mount for DH, but after running around and accepting and completing literally every quest I can find for half a day in the zone I somehow am still 0/15 story progression. Anyone know what I am missing?

So it's impossible to "raw dog" the mage tower right now, right?

(Guardian Druid)

I've done at least 200 pulls and just die to Kruul's attacks or tank buster every time, despite having defensive cds up every time. I get to Kruul nearly every pull but don't survive more than a minute. I hope it's just a skill issue because it would be nice to just be able to overcome it but I don't think that's what's happening. I got the symbiosis and ascension trinkets, and have been buying boralus blood sausage but I haven't really tried other consumables, but I've seen old videos where it's entirely possible like that one darkmech video that gets referenced a lot, where he does it in completely un-noteworthy gear and no cosumables (raw dog) to show how easy it is.

Beginner guide for disc priest?

I main a holy priest but have been dipping my toes into disc lately, im pretty good as holy but disc is just another animal entirely. I feel like I dont really have a big "emergency heal" for anyone the same was like I have "holy word: serenity" as a instant heal on holy priest.

I know that for large burst group healing I have "Power Word: Radiance" and can follow that up with a mind blast because im specced into voidweaver. But what do I have for single target heals? Is it literally just flash heal? How much time should i spend between doing damage and directly healing allies?

Hi all! What are some DF side-quests I shouldn't miss?

I realized going through DF there are tons of side quests. I personally don't care much for the story for each one (unless it's memorable), but i'm out for the best rewards like mounts/pets or nice looking armors.

Thanks.

Returning Solo player

Last I really played the game was the MoP expansion. After coming back I'm currently running a Templar Pally and seem to be more or less capped at tier 8/9 delves with a 593 iLvl. I haven't upgraded anything. Just been rolling with the loot I've been getting as is. Is the correct way to push further simply upgrading gear? Also, are changes to talents required for different Delves/Bosses or will I manage fine without?

Looking for more advice on how to gear up and get more 616+ ilvl gear. I know delves vault drops them and have already done that all up for the week but now looking into other methods. Any tips?

Older expac questlines

Hi guys, I've started playing wow in Remix MOP and liked the game so much I leveled like 2 chars of each class. I have my main DK at 2.5k raider Io and I wanted to try older expansions t feel the story. I know the best path is to create a new char and chose chrome, but is there any way I can do them on my main? I would like to have them all on my DK.

Coming back to WoW as a mage

Hello guys!

I just bought The War Within expansion.

I never mained mage before but I really like their class fantasy. So I figured I should roll mage for a time.

The question is. What specialization mage do you guys recommend? I wont have time to do heroic raids or really high keys consistently. I know that frost is more “chill” on rotation and stuff to plan ahead While I have heard that Arcane could be more difficult to get into.

Honestly if it were just to aesthetics I would pick Arcane couse I think they fit my class fantasy the best as a mage.

But I want something that isn’t struggling to play while being fun and can do good numbers in mythic plus.

Sorry if my post was long. Thanks in advance!

Mascot Patuás

Hello! I'm not very good at pet battles, but I really want to collect 500 pet paws to buy a mirror, and be able to complete the game's 20th anniversary achievement. Where and how can I get so many patuás?

I already tried to find pet battle matches, but I couldn't get anything more than 1 match

Best tank for skinning?

I’m looking to level up a tank(first time) and wanted to know whats the best tank for skinning? Large pulls, sustainability, speed to gather mobs. In my experience bears do the best but I’ve seen a demon hunter pull all the mobs together which made skinning really fast.
