This solution fixes the problem with _NPCScan.Overlay displaying rare paths as giant abstract shapes instead of the actual paths.

Download the latest version (7.3.0.1): https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/npcscan-overlay/download/2482373

Download this version (7.1.0.1): https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/npcscan-overlay/download/952575

Extract the files wherever you like. Once they are extracted navigate to the \7.1.0.1_NPCScan.Overlay\ folder.

You'll need to copy "PathData.lua" from the 7.1.0.1 folder and paste it into the 7.3.0.1 folder in the same spot, overwriting the old one.

Then navigate to the \7.1.0.1_NPCScan.Overlay\Modules\ folder and copy these 3 files:

Minimap.lua WorldMap.lua WorldMapTemplate.lua

You'll then want to paste those 3 files into the \7.3.0.1_NPCScan.Overlay\Modules\ folder, overwriting the old ones there.

That's all the grunt work done, time to reinstall the addon.

Delete/backup the old _NPCScan.Overlay\ folder in \WoW\Interface\Addons\

Copy the modified _NPCScan.Overlay\ folder from the 7.3.0.1 folder and paste it in \WoW\Interface\Addons\

Launch WoW to confirm that the paths are now correctly displayed. Donezo!

Eventually _NPCScan.Overlay will get an update that fixes this but for now it works :D

This thread will be used to discuss and add new information to a series of guides being worked on.

Crrently working on an intro to wow speedrunning guide: https://www.speedrun.com/wow/guide/vbve1

At the moment I'm looking for information on the different classes and what makes them specifically good at speedrunning. I may adopt a standard format for posts later to make writing easier, but for now post whatever you know however you like. Thanks :D

Just saw this and had to let everyone know. It's going to be very interesting :O

TL;DW

Trade in veiled argunite for relics with a small chance to roll 101 BoE/titanforge.

Starting with a story:

I finally got around to seeing just how much mastery Tamlordli had on their DH (mastery directly increases ms in havoc), turns out to be 150%. It was then I realized I don't stand a chance on my main with only ~64% mastery in my full speed set. So in order to be competitive in most runs I would have to regear my twink in havoc and full mastery gear.

I went to my order hall to pick up my havoc quest and... it's not there. After reading a bit on wowhead I learned that you get the 2nd artifact quest at 102. I contacted a GM to see if there was any possible way for me to switch my artifact but they said there is no way for me to obtain the quest or the artifact. Also any sort of reset/partial delete of my character would mess things up on their end so they couldn't do that either. They sympathized with my situation and passed the suggestion to make 101s have access to both onto the devs but who knows if/when they will do that.

Since I've maxed out the DH count for my crz (only have 2 servers) I will be buying a 2nd account and making another DH twink. I could go to another server but I've already settled down on my crz, my guild is there, plus I want to be able to send items and stuff. I've always wanted another account for multiboxing/farming so this was a good excuse to do that.

TL;DR - 2nd artifact quest starts at 102, can only obtain one artifact. Make sure you choose the right spec when making twinks.

This may be common knowledge to some people but if not, now you know.

Thanks for reading!

The latest kara run was done in 2 minutes, very impressive. At first I thought it was approved in error because all bosses must be killed for the run to count. Then I read the rules and saw that you can skip any boss/encounter in kara.

This brings me back to a question I had earlier: Why are we allowed to skip 90% of the encounters in this raid but we must kill the fishing boss in SSC? I just don't understand this.

EDIT: Also, why are we allowed to skip any bosses? Seems to undermine the whole point of these speed runs.
