The Race to World First is almost upon us, with the Heroic week coming in only a couple of days, and things are already heating up. The current No.2 guild, formerly Limit and now renamed to Liquid after their joining the Team Liquid esports organization, have offered huge sums of gold for Sepulcher of the First ones items, while others are offering quite a bit for even Sanctum of Domination ones.

In case you weren't aware, during splits week the top guilds split their raiding rosters and alts throughout many, many raid groups and fill them up with guild fans, stream viewers, and anyone who is willing to help out - also paying out large quantities of gold for those that get the drops needed and trade them to guild players. This has been going on for many races, but it seems the prices have drastically inflated.

Tuesday brings Heroic splits week to the RWF and Liquid are upping their game by quite a bit, as they are offering up to 10 million gold for individual items!

This is in stark contrast to their previous race philosophy, when they were not offering any gold for items, but instead giving away AOTC carries, raffles and similar. The big change this time around is the trading restrictions and tier pieces being worth so much, since you can't trade items at all unless you already have that same item level from before, making each one much rarer.

Pieces, the current No.3 guild, had originally gone the highest back in the Sanctum of Domination race, offering around 1 million gold per item, but even they have significantly upgraded for the Sepulcher:

Meanwhile, the current No.1 guild, Echo, are also offering rewards for items as they did before, but they didn't escalate from the last raid quite as much:

However, they are offering the same large sums for Sanctum of Domination droops today:


At the end of the race when it's all said and done, guilds have been known to spend over 300 million gold, but that number will inflate quite a bit this time around, at least for Liquid, as the Sepulcher is the final raid of the Shadowlands, the new esports partnership for Liquid and them wanting that No.1 spot back very badly is already pushing that number up. It's going to be an incredibly interesting race to say the least, especially with 3 untested and completely unseen bosses that weren't ever put on the PTR showing up on Mythic week for the first time. I can't wait!

Nah...there's no such thing as pay to win in WoW. World first race is becoming more and more of a joke.

Indeed. Everyone knows the only thing stopping guilds from competing with Limit/Echo in this race is how much gold they can toss around.

Hmm, I know I dropped that /s around here somewhere.

Maybe...maybe not...but it would sure be one hell of a different race if that kind of gold wasn't being made available.

edit: plus with actions like those posted here it also starts to become a popularity thing. More fans = more gold.

How are Russian guilds affected by.... recent events?

This is hardly the place to discuss politics.

For now, WoW playerbase remains unaffected, but no one can tell what kind of developments are going to happen, both online and offline in weeks to come.

You can PM me if you want to know something specific, though.

When the currency of passion is replaced by the currency of gold. 😬

I think you'll be surprised by the RWF viewership this time around.

      Brackenhide Hollow +24 Cleared Without a Healer
      By Stan
      The no heal comp strikes again as Psy and their group cleared a Mythic +24 dungeon without a healer. Congrats!
      Placeholder for tweet 1665035696745136129 While we have no VoD of the run, the no healer comp sparked some interesting discussion on Reddit regarding current class balance. Some think off-healing needs to be nerfed, while others think the group is actively handycapping themselves by not having a healer by doing 100K less DPS when compared to a +23 run with a healer.

      Gamebreaking +840% Movement Speed Increase with Azerite
      By Stan
      Rextroy discovered a completely broken and random interaction between Azerite and a Retribution Paladin talent that resulted in a +840% Movement Speed increase.
      Background Information
      This is, as stated NOT a hack, I have and will never hack ingame.
      But it is a really odd... one of THE weirdest interaction I have experienced so far ingame, because somehow the Azerite Trait "Indomitable Justice".
      Made back in Battle for Azeroth, meant to increase your damage on Judgement depending on the enemy health. Will bug out the "speed portion" of Judgment of Justice.
      Judgement of Justice is a new talent added in 10.0.7. That adds some damage to Judgment, and also your movement speed.
       
      It is most likely coded in a way so that the 10% damage bonus to Judgment, overlaps with the speed part of the talent. And Indomitable Justice, that boost the damage of Judgment, just hypercharges the talent.
      I went with a build to have access to as many Judgments as possible, and as often as possible! With a haste and speed set my speed maxed out at around 840% (You ARE able to get it higher but that requires BIS azerite pieces (ilvl wise) aswell as more base speed.
      Talking about the Azerite pieces, the speed scales with their ilvl. The best ones to get is from Eternal Palace mythic, since the ilvl will be fairly high and it has lots of potential "Indomitable Justice" drops.
      This speed is limited to content where Azerite is enabled, so you cannot use it in any "serious" PVE or PvP content!
      Please note that all the bugs have been reported and fixed before Rextroy uploaded the video.

      Patch 10.1 Raid Spec Popularity Versus Average Overall DPS
      By Stan
      We're comparing raid spec popularity with average overall DPS in Patch 10.1. Find out how your spec performs!
      Here's an interesting figure created by Reddit user AttitudeAdjusterSE who compared raid specialization popularity with overall DPS from Mythic difficulty parses in Patch 10.1. The data is taken from WarcraftLogs from the last two weeks. 
      Figure
      Frost Death Knight is in an interesting position. While the number of parses is minimal, their overall DPS in the highest. Frost Death Knights are followed by Devastation Evokers, Demonology Warlocks, Elemental Shamans, Affliction Warlocks, and Shadow Priests.
