I was expecting as per past to gather enough materials while questing to at least make a dent in leveling up but most of the mobs are not skinnable.

The routine when you log in takes almost a half hour and is super expensive. I know money comes easy and it should now that I'm max level and still have 3 zones to explore but the time sink to keep up your garrison vs. exploration doesn't allow for a casual experience.

Problem was I was still questing in the low level zones so I wasn't getting any gear of the right ilevel. Wasn't until a garrison mission earned an appropriate gear reward that I dinged.

Finally got my legendary ring last night. Haven't tried it out yet. :)

Started working on an alt warlock but having a hard time with the rotation and having no luck getting past the silver challenge.
