Re-useable enchanted items for powerlevelling

I checked the guides up to page 5 and searched for 'white item'; nothing came up so hopefully this isn't a re:

Anyways I make alot of lowbie chars. Now Lowbie chars are exceptionally simple to powerlevel, obviously. However time is time and being the efficiency freak that I am I find it exceedingly useful to cut that time down as much as possible. Particularly since I love getting to 19 for bg pwnage.

That aside, I found that you can make a set of enchanted 'twink' powerlevelling items for your ultra-lowbie chars to ensure maximum efficiency when grinding/powerlevelling. Since I mostly stick with melee chars (pally/warrior) I only did mail but it does apply to all classes in the same respect.

The basic theory is that white items are comparable to greens of the same level in terms of raw armor/dps/etc without the bonuses to stamina or what not. At ultra low levels (generally below level ten) you find most of the greens are .. marginal .. at best. Enchanting them simply makes no sense since you will ultimately destroy/sell/de them later.

However if you take a white (not a grey, that's substandard) item you will say it is NOT soulbound. This means you can take an item with basically the same base stats (again, ac/dps/etc) and enchant it with a mid-high level enchant. Then at that point you can take said item and use it to speed up your levelling.

There are several attractive benefits to this:
A) Speedwalk shoes. I always build a set of cloth shoes (wearable by any class) with the 'minor speed' enchant for +8% move speed. That's 8% less time you spend running around the world, so 8% more time which can be spent to levelling. I also use it in bg for swapping between this and my 'battle set' of stamina enchanted gear for more versatility.
When you finally get a char either a mount or a speed increase through skills (ghostwolf/cheetah/etc) then you can mail this to your next lowbie. Saves you about 7 gold per char.

B) At low levels stamina is ridiculously important. I found that simply enchanting a pair of boots with +5 stam and bracers with +5 stam nearly DOUBLED my hp until about level 8 or 9. This made it considerably easier to powerlevel that char on a near non-stop basis. And that wasn't even when I had my REALLY good set of stam gear!

C) Reduced trips to the auction house. Now you can just slap on a set of gear from 1-15 and gun through the levels. You can do it on higher level whites too but realistically it's less beneficial since the greens/blues are of better value.

D) Savings in money. Obviously it makes little sense to enchant every pair of items you get, but having one set you can use for every character you make on a server's faction is extremely beneficial.


This is pretty much it. It's especially useful for cloaks (+70 armor makes it have extremely good longevity) and bracers/gloves/feet.

Happy hunting!

WOW Guides - How to get 11K HP and Uncrushable Pre-Kara

Ok as promised here is my gear list..

Now before i go into this there are few things everyone should know about paladins (and all these can be looked up on the armory if you care to do a little research and know ANYTHING about math.

These are:

Pally base HP is 3377
When you add in stam (including the base Stam) your HP gained are (Stam*10)-180

Therefore your total HP is (stam*10)-3197+HPGAINED ((this last bit is enchants that are just HP) )

For avoidance (now note i am adding block here into avoidance even tho it is technically mitigation - the reason i am doing this is because block counts towards your total avoidance goal of 102.4%)

So the avoidance equations are:

Def: [(rating/2.4)+20]/25*4 = total avoidance from def

Parry: rating/35.1 + base (usually 5 or 10%) = parry percentage

Dodge: rating/18.9 + base (this is usually 5% but may be slightly different) = dodge percentage

Block: rating/7.9 + base (Usually 5%) = block percentage

Miss: base miss of 5% + [(def over 350)-(350)]*.04

Now we're not going to subtract anything from these because we're already calculating it in with our goal being 102.4%

Ok now that all that fun stuff is out of the way... lets get to the gear. (skip to the end if all you want is the summary of stats) ::

Head: Helm of Righteousness
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28285
Enchant: Glyph of the Defender
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29186

Neck: Strength of the Untamed

Ring 2: Elementium Band of the Sentry
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28407

Trinket 1: Adamantine Figurine
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27891

Trinket 2: Figurine of the Colossus
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27529

Weapon: Continuum Blade
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29185
Enchant: Major Spellpower
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=27975

Shield: Crest of the Sha'tar
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29176
Enchant: Shield Block
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=27946

Libram: Libram of Repentance
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29388

Gems: Solid Star of Elune
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24033

Ok now for the summary of all those stats.

Sta: 467 (from gear) + 123 (base for a BE) + 192 (16 gem slots all filled with +12sta gems) = 782 * 1.06(the talent any decent protadin will have) == 828.92 stam

Def: 345 Rating: [(345/2.4)+20]/25*4 = 26.2 avoidance from Def (block/dodge/parry/miss)

Block: 82 Rating: 82/7.9 = 10.4 Avoidance

Dodge: 118 Rating: 118/18.9 = 6.24 Avoidance

Parry: 0 = 0

SO:

That stam == 11,606 Hp
Total Block = 21.95
Total Dodge = 17.79
Total Parry = 16.55
Total miss = 11.55
Block From HS = 35%

All this together makes :

HP = 11606
Avoidance = 102.8%

So as i said 11.5k HP and Uncrushable.

Oh and if you don't want to go to heroics for the belt or boots... you can replace them with:

Flesh Beast's Metal Greaves
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29325

And

Sha'tari Vindicator's Waistguard
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31460

Now this will drop you down about 50 sta or 530 Hp's But personally i think 11k and uncrushable is fine if you don't want to deal with the heroics before Kara.

Oh and as a side note... if anyone finds fault in my math here PLEASE let me know... this is all the gear I am going for so it would be nice if i could know before hand that i'm wrong LOL (though i know i'm not)

Lethals Pocket Guide to Efficient Leveling

[5] Tips * Request or Email *
----------------------------
This guide was created to help people understand that leveling is
a form of experience. I am making this to share my experiences
with all of you. Leveling can be done efficiently, and hassle free
if you know what you are doing. So sit back grab a cold one and
enjoy my guide. Any questions or comments email me at:
lethal.xzodus@gmail.com
==================
[1] The Basics

Leveling a new race or a faction you have no experience
with can be a little tricky; but they all have one thing in common:
Quests, yes Quests not Monsters. The time it takes to level depends
on how efficiently and how quick you finish the Quests. Here are
some tips if you just started out; the are Alliance and Horde compat:

1. Always start with the beginning quests because they are probably
chain quests that yield armour/weapons that can help you out.

2. Next, get surrounding quests that lead to the same area or near it,
its normally not a good idea to run back and forth until you complete
quests that finish in the same area anyway.

3. If you get really far away from the starting area or inn near the
area, just hearth back. Don’t do this if you know you are going back
just walk back; especially if the quests are along the way to turn in.

4. If you bag gets full of junk items and you cant get quest items
because of that, just trash the junk items; remember you want to level,
you always have time at level 60 to make money.

5. Do not group into parties or raids unless it is an instance that
requires it (or an outdoor boss like Hogger and such) because it
decreases your XP rate per-hour.

6. If you need help; ask for it on General Chat only, chances are some-
one else is probably doing that quest to or some are helping low-levels.

7. Don’t screw around; PvP Raids, Battlegrounds, Auction House.
Unless, your quest or stuff like that demand it then do so.

8. Do not work on professions, it drains your money, your time for
leveling; so unless you want to have 3-10 hours added to your leveling
time go ahead and do so. There are no required quests that demand a
profession, there are only optional ones.

9. Do not Idle, if you want to go AFK log-out to the character select
screen, so you save time when you /played in chat.
10. Lastly for the Basics, Do not do quests that require you to go to
another area far away until you’ve completed all the quests in the
surrounding area, that way it saves time and the frustration to you.
==================
[2] Advanced Techniques

There are techniques out there that the pros don’t want you
to know; I say screw them, this is an MMO not a FPS game. Heres
some advanced techniques that will blow your socks off, some are
just so simple yet have a drastic effect.

1. Ask your guild to help; its simple, you aggro, hit them once or
more, they AoE; if they are a priest have them heal you. This works
best with a massive amount of greens or yellow mobs. Elite’s work
to, just tone it down a bit or you may die.

2. Your Class/Race combo will depend on how fast you level, that’s
right ! If you choose a race that’s meant for magic, but pair it with
melee, you will find yourself having a harder time than those who chose
a Race that’s meant for Melee. Check my guide at this URL for pairing:
http://www.taultunleashed.com/phpBB2/post-255628.html#255628

3. Does your gear really matter in leveling? well check out the Myths
part of this guide to find out if that’s true or not.

4. Leveling fast means being on a lot; have a friend you really trust
that plays the game play when your not online. I have a person on Xfire
who lives in the UK who’s playing on my account when I’m offline
because of our time-zone differences; it’s night over there when its day
here. * I am not responsible if you get your account stolen, neither is
www.taultunleashed.com nor www.xunleashed.com *

5. Does Horde or Alliance level faster? Well, simply put; go to the
myths section to find out the answer to this age-old question.
==================
[3] Myths Exposed

Here I exposed Myths that are either misunderstood game-
facts or just simply stupid. I am here to bust them with my Hammer
of Justice (not the Flying Dildo of Wrath). Its either Busted, or Real;
theres no Plausible like MythBusters (I think they should host a WoW
edition of it though).

1. Does Horde or Alliance level faster?
Simply put; Neither, they are exactly the same. WTF? , You say?
Well, Alliance quests and Mobs are so close together (and considering
that most Alliance are nubs) people think they are accomplishing the
quests faster. That’s false and I’ll tell you why, when things are closer
together you feel more relaxed and easy-going which to the Human
brain means time seems to be passing by faster. Well, when it comes to
Horde quests, omfg, they are all spread out and you start to panic a bit,
about if you are going to finish the quest before you log off or if you
level up before you do so. This releases a chemical by the name of:
neurogenesis, which leads to stress, this makes you feel as though its
taking forever to get something done (as I’m feeling writing this), but
its exactly the same time played as both; people say this because they
are either new to the faction or are not efficient at leveling that race.
With, that said; I hear by declare this Myth; BUSTED!

2. Does gear matter when leveling ?
Well, after playing a level 60 in each class, except Paladin; I have to say
maybe. Why? because it depends on your class; if you want to level fast
as a melee player you must have decent to OK gear to do so. Theres a
level of tolerance with gear; You can’t be a level 60 using level 12 gear
because it just won’t work * amazing how you go to 60 *, but if you a
60 using 40-50 gear that totally expectable to get there. I remember I
was a level 40 using level 30 gear because I was getting my mount, or
I wanted to level fast so I could raid with my guild, and was a level 56
using a level 45 sword and level 35-48 gear. It all depends on how fast
you want to level. Because of that; this is a guide to leveling fast so;
this Myth is; BUSTED!

Have any more Myths or such that you want busted ? email it
to me at : jroy.fke@gmail.com (please no spamming, thanks )
==================
[4] Hints

Here are some hints for you to get maximum performance out
of your computer and our leveling experience, have fun and post things
that you want added or email me at : jroy.fke@gmail.com

1. Install Addons that are specific to the class you want to level, this
makes it easier for you to have a handled grip over your classes full
potential, while saving you the time of configuring your Addons with a
generic Addon.

2. For best frame-rates turn down Anti-Aliasing or turn down Texture
details; do not turn down World Detail because that decreases how far
you can see; in extreme cases set the game to Window Mode through the
Video Options.

3. Set your Talent specs for PvE, publicly called Grinding. This will
help you efficiently cut through any mobs in your way. Go to this URL:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/TemplateList.php?mytemplates=0&skillclassid=-1
Select your class and have fun

4. For anything class/race related go to my Class/Race pairing guide at:
http://www.taultunleashed.com/phpBB2/post-255628.html#255628
==================
-------------------------------

Hope you all enjoyed this guide; not exactly a pocket guide, but
it sounds good hehe, this guide is Burning Crusade Compatible *BCC*
Have fun, and welcome back to Azeroth; my the Fragging begin, woot!
