Cleaning Up the Quest Log
Similar to the inventory, the quest log is also a problem. While Blizzard has significantly increased the limit of quests in the quest log, there is still nothing like a “clean” log that has no remnants left.
Abort all quests that you have accepted but never completed.
Sure, there are a few small exceptions, like long farm quests. But ask yourself: Will you really take on the PvP quest from Draenor, where you have to defeat 500 undead in Ashran? Will you really go into the Firelands five times to complete the quest for the legendary caster staff that you accepted ten years ago?
Be honest with yourself here too. A clean quest log is almost as important as a clean inventory. Because when everything is nicely freed from remnants, you can freely take every quest in Quel’thalas and the other areas of Midnight without ever worrying about your quest log being full.
Completing the Pre-Quest Chain
Lastly, you should ensure that you accept and complete the current quest chain in Dornogal.
The pre-quest chain surrounding Arator and the Windrunner sisters is not a necessary requirement for starting in Midnight, but it provides some context for the upcoming events and is therefore part of the story that you should definitely complete.
The quest chain starts in the main hall of Dornogal with the NPC “Squire of the Silver Hand” next to the bank of Dornogal. Depending on your play style, you should have it done in 1 to 2 hours.
Of course, it is enough to complete the quest chain on a single character to know the story and what the different personalities are that you will keep encountering in Midnight.
Bonus Tip: Get a Grip on RL
To ensure the release of a new addon runs smoothly and you can truly immerse yourself in World of Warcraft, you also have to get a grip on the biggest disturbance: the annoying “Real Life”. Because as much as you might deny it, it still can’t be done without the physical world. To avoid as many ‘downtimes’ as possible, you can prepare yourself like this:
- Request vacation (if too late: sick leave).
- Build a soundproof wall of energy drinks and snacks around your PC.
- Tell your family that you are on vacation and unavailable.
- Unplug the landline phone (do young people even know this anymore?)
Of course, real life should always be more important than the game and come first. But that only applies if real life actually manages to reach you…
Joking aside – the last tip is obviously not meant to be taken too seriously.
How do you prepare for the latest expansion of World of Warcraft? Will you jump in directly on release night? Or will you wait a few days because you can’t handle the launch stress?
