WoW TBC Classic Phase 2 Guide & Tips - What to Do Before WOW TBC Phase 2

Check out these five tips from MetaGoblin, to prepare for the WoW TBC phase 2. 

1. Stock up useful potions

In WoW TBC Phase 2, two new raids are coming soon, Tempest Keep and SSC, you may spend a lot of time there, which means you can finally take advantage of these tempests. Keep and Coilfang Reservoir zone specific potions like the Bottled Nethergon Energy you've probably just been deleting them or vendoring them, you've also got the Cenarion Mana Salve that you can buy with leftover Coilfang Armaments when you're exalted with the Cenarion expedition, so when you're doing these dungeons, stop vendoring them, stop deleting them, stock up on these potions. While you're probably already farming the rep or the gear whatever, you'll make more use of them when you're actually doing Tempest Keep, what you can actually do is buy them up free auction house for half the price of your typical mana potion, so in that way, you can save or make some WoW TBC gold by buying those, then drop and then reselling them in TBC phase two, obviously, the price is going to bump up, but when it comes to those canary cells, there's like a reputation, then they're outside all the coil fang instances, you just spend your qualifying ornaments and you get loads of like mana potions or health potions, obviously probably just one health potion.

2. Create your guild

There is a very cheap way to get a lot of mana potions. The guild bank also appeared in phase two of World of Warcraft TBC, why not go to your bank to establish a guild, sometimes it can be painful to get a signature when you build yourself guild, start working now when you have a little downtime, prepare a guild for your bank, kick everyone in the guild out of the guild, then wait for the phase 2. Choose a player you want to invite, click "Request Signature" to create this guild, fill out the constitution and submit it to the guild registrar. 

3. Buy cheap Arcane protection potions

A particular raid encounter in Tempest Keep is called High Astromancer Solarian. What she did was a truckload of arcane damage, which can affect anyone in the raid. This may be the only real protection potion that will appear in the WOW TBC phase two. But what you can do is buy really cheap Classic WoW Arcane protection potions. TBC protection potions will also be in the auction house. The supply is very limited. It only provides another 800 arcane damage protection. Just buy the really cheap ones from the classic World of Warcraft. Then when you make a raid in Farmville and you can use your DPS potion, the phase two raid will be much more difficult than people expect. More and more people will want those arcane protection potions, so their price will increase at phase 2, so buy them when they're cheap.

4. Prepare materials for your BiS Gear

The next tip of WoW TBC Phase 2 is to prepare materials for your Best in Slot Gear. In fact, there is BiS Gear that will be released in the second phase, which is essentially a pattern that's going to drop like a kind of trash mob. The dropped patterns are in SSC and Tempest Keep. We have Belt of Blasting, which is Best in Slot for warlocks and shadow priests.  Obviously, it needs a certain amount of materials, such as Primal Fire and some Bolt of Imbued Netherweave. It also needs Nether Vortex, which is basically an item that will fall from the trash loop when you're doing SSC and Tempest Keep. For example, you are a tailor and you have the materials ready to craft this item, that probably means you're gonna get priority on getting the pattern given to you, it's also important to look at the Boots of Blasting because it will actually require cloth cooldowns, so before phase two drops,  it's recommended to stock up on your cloth cooldowns, it's only four shadow cloth and full spell cloth, just leave that put it in the bank, don't sell it and just wait for phase two to drop, then you can just instantly craft the Boots of Blasting and the Belt of Blasting as soon as those patterns drop, there's a fairly high chance about these recipes are gonna drop in the raid.

5. Do not cut your gems

The last tip is not to cut your gems, at least like keeping some uncut gems, it will inevitably happen when new braid content appears that people get new equipment, which means they need gems again and we need enchants, their prices are going to increase. It is recommended that you start hoarding uncut gems a few weeks before the WOW Classic TBC phase two drops, so then when phase two drops, you can look at the market prices for every single different cut gem and then just craft the ones which are the most expensive, because the prices of certain cut gems are going to be different depending on basically how many melee DPS or caster DPS are getting gear upgrades on your server. In addition, hold on to disenchanted loot like your Large Prismatic Shard, Void Crystal, and everything like that, there'll be a shorter supply of void crystals because people will be focusing on doing the new raids rather than doing the old raids of a disenchanting loop that they don't need.
