Returning Wiz for Console

As the title says, I played as a child at lunch and came back to the game for a big stint in Covid. The ability to play on console absolutely will be bringing me back to the game. It’s gonna be so cozy to chill with a controller. Anyway it seems a lot has changed in the last 4-5 years. What are the strats, what’s changed, what are we doing on day 1? I am also so fascinated by the first rest of an MMORPG like this in what, 15+ years?

I am sure that will have an impact on the game. Very different bizzar experience and pet making will be very fresh. What are the best ways to make pets on launch, or not worth it.

So excited to zip through arc 1 and take it from there. Would love to hear the strategies that other wizards have coming into this crazy launch!
