WOW Exploit Become the Guild Master or Kick the GM

2007-10-01T18:11:00.000-07:00

Here's how you do it, you have to have access to an account/character with promote/demote constitutional rights to become the GM. In order to kick the GM, you have to have kick agreement.

Here's how it's done. You log into an alt with the agreement you need for what you want to achieve. If you want to become the GM, type /gpromote 'yourmain'sname' (note: the character you do this to has to be offline) and spam it a few times for good evaluate. It should say (name)'s rank is too high.

To kick your guild master, just wait til he's offline and then type /gremove 'playername'. It will say player's rank is too high.

How these work is they both give the usual error messages, but when the character it was done to logs in, they will either be GM or be kicked, depending on what you did. A note about becoming GM though, your rank that you were before you logged in stays the same on the guild tab, but you have access to everything a GM does, including /gleader and /gdisband.

Re-useable enchanted items for powerlevelling

2007-07-13T08:28:00.000-07:00

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

2007-07-13T08:26:00.000-07:00

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
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29173

Shoulder: Spaulders of the Righteous
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27739
Enchant: Greater Inscription of the Knight
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28911

(Note: this enchant can be switched for the major Spellpower one if you need the threat gen)

Waist: Girdle of the Immovable
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27672

Legs: Timewarden's Leggings
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29184
Enchant: Clefthide Leg Armor
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29534

Feet: Boots of the Colossus
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27813
Enchant: Fortitude
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=27950

Ring 1: Protector's Mark of the Redemption
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31078

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

2007-07-13T08:19:00.000-07:00

[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!

Talents for Speed-Leveling

2007-06-28T13:03:00.000-07:00

Talents for Leveling

This should give you an idea of how you should choose your talents for best leveling purposes.
Talents, lvl 10-40(shadow tree). There's a great JavaScript talent calculator here:

http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?rZZxMLt0xRt

Now you have 'Spirit Tap' the best skill for leveling/grinding, with this you could kill mobs that are around your level range without even having downtime. (That means no mana drinking, if you use this talent right you could grind mobs for hours not drinking mana)
Note: When engaging an enemy always have the sheild up before you start attacking ( recast the sheild as soon as you ge the spiritbuff if possible)
And remember the wand is your friend, saves mana and does very nice damage, you should always check the action house for a better wand than your current, every few levels.
And now when you've reached 40, and have spent 31 points into the Shadow tree, its time to get some nice talents from the Discipline tree.

Talents, lvl 40-60(Discipline tree)
http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?rVMGshZZxMxt0xRt
(Notice that We've put the last point into Shadow Focus in the Shadow tree)

This specc is purely for Leveling, after you hit 60 we've got some other speccs for you.

PvP spec(the facemelter)
http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?rxMGoZZEMMtctRt
This is mainly for pvp but if you get some nice gear you could be doing damage instead of healing in Instances.

PvE spec(the healer)
http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?dxgus00oZfxLcc0qL
This is the healer build, it can look like many things 31/20/0, 18/33/0 etc, mess around with it see what fits you.

EASY WoW Gold for lvl 13-20

2007-06-28T12:59:00.000-07:00

A newer item, Zhevra Leather, can be found in all Zhevra creatures.

Zhevra Runners
Zhevra Coursers
Zhevra Chargers

I have found that the Zhevra Runners (lowest level of them all) have the highest drop rate. The leather can sell for 2-4g each depending on the server. In about 30 minutes i gathered 10 Zhevra Leather and sold them for 20g. The reason they sell is because for some reason the leather is used to make very rare items and some people who can make the items don't want to go farm it for themselves... easy enought right?

So go try it for yourselves... Happy Trails!

Lethals Alliance 1-70 Guide

2007-06-28T12:56:00.000-07:00

* NOT A NEWBIE FRIENDLY GUIDE *
* ONLY USE IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WOW AKA LEVELED A 60 OR A 70 MORE THAN ONCE*
------------------------

PLEASE NOTE:

I hopefully made this point around, this is more of a 'pocket' guide that;
If your familiar with your class, and faction; you will have no trouble
understanding this, this is the original format I made for my guildies, so
its quick to read, hopefully quick to understand. I made this guide based
on my experience, plus it take skill to find a good grinding spot, sure
ANYONE can find one, but finding the right one; with less aggro than some
places, a healthy amount of mobs, and a place that you will not get
ganked (hopefully); thats what made this guide take 1 1/2 months for me
to make, because I had to find the right locations and test it constantly.
By all means if you do not want to level fast and enjoy the game do so
(you cannot pvp, level a proffesion, nor do anything, but leveling), this
guide was meant for people that play EVERYDAY, not just one day here
and one day there.

Yes, grinding is tedious, but its the most efficient way to do it, and
farming/leveling companys use that method, I'm not defending that theres
a lack of detail; I did it that way on purpose so it makes it easier to
follow, and not clouded by useless info, by where and why to go; who
needs that when you've leveled a character to 60 or 70? You know it well
enough to find these locations; to set this short, I made this guides 'lack
of info' on purpose for well-informed player to follow easily, if you want a
guide that get you to 60 or 70, but in much much more time (doing
professions, extra quests, and such along that line), go with Kopp/James
guide for Alliance. BTW I'm planning to update this to 1-70, when I have
confirmed and tested it.

=============

Obviously everyone has a different way to do it and mine is not the best,
or the most efficient way to do it. But here are a few things I did to level :

1a. For speed leveling - you should not be afraid to fight when you are in
low hp/mana. I kept pulling on my Shaman until I was down to about 10%
hp and 10% Mana. That cuts down on med time.

1b. The key is to grind on mobs that are 1 or 2 lvls above you and
complete quests while you are doing this

2. You're going spend tons on food/water/bandages

3a. for casters, buy good wands every few levels. Get cookie's stirring rod
from VC and buy the rest as you go. Maybe a new wand every 5-7 levels.
That way you can cut down on med time by wanding the mob when it is at
10% health so you can naturally start to regen mana

3b. for melee - bandage ,bandage, bandage and buy good weapons every
few levels

3c. if you can afford it, pimp yourself out (caster get +dmg gear, melee
get +attack power gear) the harder you hit, the faster things die, the
faster you get xp. Even that means you spend more time sitting down
eating/drinking (that only takes 15 seconds max)

*NEW*

4. Don't waste time doing PvP or leveling a profession, it just wastes time.

4b. Ok, please note that you MUST PLAY WOW everyday in order for this to do it, not one day here, one day there.

4c. If you are going to be out more than 1/2 a day from WoW, make sure you put your Avatar (Character) at an inn or a capital city to get rest XP.

Here’s what to do:

The Times listed are w/out rested XP

Human/Gnome/Dwarf -
Nooby zone (1 - 6.5) - yes, get to 6.5 ... that means killing just a handful
of extra mobs. If you are just grinding and doing quests this should take
you 1hr

** now go to IF or SW and pick up skinning (this will help offset the costs
of buying your gear and buying food/water) Highly recommend that you
spend 20g and get yourself 4 runecloth bags. In order to power level
yourself you can't be going back to town to sell things every hour

Outside IF/SW (6.5-11) - pick one (don't go between SW and IF cuz that
takes way too long) you're going to need to grind a bit but this will take
you 3-4 hrs of played time (again, no chatting is involved here ... typing
just slows down your DPS and slows down your leveling) ^_^

Loch Modan (11-13) - the first few quests here are easy to do. Kill spiders,
bears, boars. Kill little kobolds. Kill trolls. You can skin and get cloth to
make bandages. 2 hrs played

Westfall (13-16) - Complete all the level 12 quests and then grind on the
Harvest Golem/Watchers near the north part of Westfall. There should be 3
farms that have level 11-13 mobs. Then grind on the higher level ones on
the West until you hit 16. While you're running around the farms, grinding
on these mobs - complete the other westfall quests. 4 hrs played

*be sure to do the defias brother hood quests

*don't forget to pick up the quest 'dry times' and start buying the alcohol
form the different places

Loch Modan (16-1Cool - come back here and do a few more quests. You
should be able to complete them quickly since you are such high level.
Don't forget the quests in the digging site to the east and the other building
all the way in the southeast corner (i forget the name of it) 4 hrs played

Redridge (18-20) – quest, quest, quest and grind on Murlocks or the
Kobolds (forget what they are called but they are all over the mountains to
the north) 4 hrs played

**DING ** have someone run you through the Deadmines 2-4 times (until
you get some nice gear) 2 hrs played

You should now be at 1 day /played

Redridge (21-23) - quest and grind on Orcs on the north east part of RR 4
hrs played

WETLANDS (23-25) - quest/grind on murlocks, crocs, the undead pirates,
the invisible dudes that walk in the river, the gnolls, etc (do not do the Orc
quests yet) 4 hrs played

Darkshire (25-2Cool – quest, quest, quest - the wolf guys, the comb quest,
the Undeads in the cemetery, etc, etc 5 hrs played

**find a kind soul to take you to the stockades (do all the quests there in
one run, not worth it to get gear)

Wetlands (28.5-30) - do the orc quests, raptor quests and then grind it out
on either one (Orcs if you need bandages, raptors if you want skins) 5 hrs
played

*if you can, find someone to help you with the last few Darkshire quest
(morbent fel, etc)

Hillsbrad Foothills (30-31.5) - these quest are probably green to you (if
they are grey and not part of a chain, skip them). You should be able to
kill Nagas and Murlocks on the south and get good xp. You can also do the
defias quests really quick. 2 hrs played

Alterac Mountains (31.5-33) - grind in the cave to the north (on the way to
AV) and then yetis ... just grind 6 hrs played

**DING you should be at 2 days /played** (maybe a little more if you
have been chatting it up

Arathi Highlands (33-35) - some quick quests here - you can grind on Orcs
or trolls

**at this time, have someone take you to SM and do some quests there. If
they can, run you through until you get some nice gear (class dependent
obviously) and you should be able to get a level or two from there.
Ideally, they would run you through the whole thing 4 hrs played -
obviously you may not find someone to dedicate 4 hrs for you, so go to
STV and start your quests there too ...

STV (34-40) - let me break this one down for you

**the key here is to pick up as many quests as you can, and complete
them all before turning them in. STV is FULL of chain quests. Kurzen camp
quests, Mastery quests, Troll tribes, etc**

(34-35) your first set of quests should get you a full level. Grind as much
as you can in the kurzen camp since its usually safe from ganking

(35-37) troll tribes (getting the tablets) and 2nd series of masteries and
the geologist co quests.

**@ 37 go to STV and pick up quests there

(37-40) singing blue shards, apes, raptors, tigers, panthers and troll
tooths? or whatever it is you need to collect from trolls. 20 hrs played

**if at any point you get tired of STV, go back to Arathi or if you really
hate grinding, go to Desolace or even Badlands

**or if you find someone nice, they'll take you to gnomeragan **

**DING - go buy your mount** /played 3 days

***I'll stop posting how much time it should take you so no one will get
depressed and hurt themselves but it slows down a lot from this point on,
now you really need to start buying that +dmg +ap gear***

(from this point on 40-50 should be about 4 hrs per level on average and
50-60 should be about 5-6 hrs per level)

(plus the levels specified from this point on are more strict, for example - I
wouldn't recommend going to sorrow hill before you are 50 cuz its not
efficient - same thing for Un'Goro before level 52)

Alterac Mountains (40-42) - Ogres (non elite) + humanoids (quest/grind)

Tanaris (42-45) - wasteland wanderers (grind, grind, grind) - get water
pouches and just grind. Trust me on this, you need to start grinding some
or you'll run out of quests and get stuckin between zones)

STV (45-46.5) - finish the quests here (pirates, Zanzil secret/Nagas, apes,
etc)

Tanaris (46.5-4Cool - Ogres (again grind, grind, grind) - you can pick up
quests in Tanaris and complete them if you want, but its faster to just grind
right now

Searing Gorge (48-50) - quests are fast and grinding is easy. Don't bother
getting the searing gorge key ... you'll never run through that door ...

Western Plaguelands (50-51) - sorrow hill - Chillwind point.

**I know this place is super camped so if you can't find pulls there, go
back to Searing Gorge or Feralas (there is a repeatable quest there on the
shore (right after you take the boat the little goblin there gives it)) or
even Azshara (but watch out for the farmers there!)

Felwood (51-52) - some quests, some grinding. Don't bother doing the
quests in the north by the cave that leads to Winterspring. Just do
whatever is green/yellow so that would be the first Furlbog quests +
Jadenar + whatever other quests you pick up from the south part of
Felwood

Un'Goro (52-54) - Bring your Mithril casing! (2 escort quests + lots of kill
quests + some travel back and forth between here and Tanaris)

**its important that you grind whatever part of your level is left

WPL (54-55) - finish quests here (cauldrons + scarlet + whatever else you
can find) and then grind

Azshara - Felwood (55-56) - GRIND! or do whatever quests you still
haven't done here (you could grind on Ogres in Burning Steppes too)

Winterspring (56-57) - quests + grinding (you might want to go to
Darnassus first, in the Therussian village you can pick up a quest for
Azshara and another for Winterspring)

EPL (57-5 - lots of good quests here, just that you run into the occasional
horde party going to Strath

*NEW* * Outlands*
Hellfire Peninsula (58-60) 1.5 Hours = 1 LEVEL!
Quest, Grind; this equals uber XP.

**again, this guide shows a lot of grinding but its helpful if you stay in one
zone until you level.**

Hellfire Peninsula (60-62)
Do ALL the quests you see, most quests gives you 10k xp or more, also do instances for gear and stuff.

Zangarmarsh (62-64)
Do all the quests that there are to do, its the best way to level, groups quests can be a pain so make sure you have buddies that can help you out. on occasion do instances for quests, xp, and loot.

Terrokar Forest (64-65 * or 66)
Quest, quest, quest; get a buddy to help you out with group quests. Once again do instances for quests, xp, and loot.

Nagrand (65-67)
I'm tired of putting Quest, quest, quest, but Quest, Quest, Quest! Also once again Instances, Instances, Instances!

Blade Edge Mountain (67-6
Quest, then work your way into Netherstorm.

Netherstorm (68-69 * maybe 70)
Again Quest

Shadowmoon Valley * If your not 70 * (69-70)
Quest, then OMG Ding, gratz on your 70

WoW Favorite Grinding Spots

2007-05-28T20:31:00.000-07:00

First is the cave in UnÂ’goro crater that is filled with apes (the cave where A-me is for the quest). These gorillas are fairly easy to kill and drop lots of valuable vendor trash like their whiskers and regularly drop greens and some blues. Just on the gray trash items alone you can make around 10g an hour just grinding here.

My next favorite is the troll temple in Eastern Plaguelands. I guess this place is just so far away that no one seems to want to bother with it. These trolls drop lots of green items, the occasional blue, and I know friends who have seen epics drop off of them as well. TheyÂ’re good for runecloth and powerful mojo as well. The other nice perk of this area is that itÂ’s full of thorium (4 rich weins) and high end herbs also.

Deadwind Pass is also great for farming for items. No one really is here when I farm it. IÂ’d expect to see farmers or just others players hanging out here but no one ever really is. There are a ton of high level ogres with great loot and when you go down to the Karazhan area you will find a haunted town that has humanoids that drop great coin and runecloth.

Arcane crystals will skyrock with prices since it is required for Tier3 items here is 2 best spots:

Hearthglen Mine that is in Northern Western Plaguelands. There is often one rich thorium vein outside the mine and then another 2 inside of it. Thy all seem to have a very fast respawn time and the ones inside the mine are guarded by groups of 2 non-elite miners that most classes can easily distract or solo. I have seen 2 arcane crystals drop from just one of these veins!

The second of my favorite locations is in Southern Winterspring near the barred off entrance to the unopened Hyjal area. This is in the dangerous Darkwhisper Gorge. It is full of level 60 and 61 elites that hit really hard but I have successfully walked the entire way to the end without stealth and it can be done if you are careful. Obviously if you can feign death or stealth it gets even easier. There are usually an additional 4-5 (yes!) rich thorium veins in this area.

Crafting Leatherworking 1-200

2007-05-28T20:09:00.000-07:00

k, first off, leatherworking is a resource hog. I spent a grip of gold powerleveling this profession just to 200. We will start with an itemization based on the items I used to get to 200. As always, your milage may vary and these are not my hard numbers used to get to 200. These numbers are what you should expect to consume during the leveling process.

Light leather: 255 (sure seemed like more)
Medium leather: 160
Heavy leather: 200

Light hide: 0
Medium hide: 25
Heavy hide: 20

Course thread: 150
Fine thread: 65
Silken thread: 10

Grey dye: 20
Green dye: 10

Salt: 85

Now that you have all your consumables, itÂ’s time to start craftingÂ….and craftingÂ….and CRAFTING.

1-30: Light armor kits
30-40: Light leather quiver
40-50: Light armor kit
50-55: Hand stitched leather boots
55-90: Embossed leather gloves
90-100: Fine leather belt
100-115: Medium armor kit
115-125: Dark leather boots
125-135: Dark leather belt
135-150: HillmanÂ’s shoulders
150-180 Heavy armor kit
180-190: Green leather bracers
190-200: Guardian gloves

All the items I chose to grind on were either with resale in mind (to offset the cost of mats) or pure skill ups. IÂ’ll go over each item and detail my reason for choosing it.

Light armor kits: No brainer. They take 1 light leather and are yellow all the way to 50. They sell ok on the AH too.

Light leather quiver: These take 2 light leather and 1 course thread. Every hunter wants (or should want) one so resale is great. They are orange to 40 so take the guaranteed skill up.

Light armor kits: We go back to light armor kits because itÂ’s just smart due to the minimal resources. ItÂ’s yellow but if youre on a budget itÂ’s the way to go.

Handstitched leather boots: Filler item just to get to 55. Vendor trash.

Embossed leather gloves: Good for grinding because of the low resources used. More vendor trash

Fine leather belt: Another grey grinder to get to 100. **DONÂ’T VENDOR THESE** (YouÂ’ll see why in a bit)

Medium armor kits: Just like light armor kits, they are reasonable on the resources and will sell on the AH.

Dark leather boots: Filler item. Vendor trash

Dark leather belt: THIS is the reason we kept those fine leather belts. Almost no resources (minus the hide) and these things sell well on the AH. I put 4 up at 50s and they all sold first time. IÂ’m betting you can get more.

HillmanÂ’s shoulders: The perfect grinding item. Reasonable resources and they sell very well. These shoulders are the first decent green for an up and coming rogue/feral druid. DE is also an option but youÂ’ll do better to AH them.

Heavy armor: Same as light and medium armor kits. AH them or give them out to guildies.

Green leather bracers: Nothing exciting about these. Crappy stats but the best option for leveling at this point. I recommend DE for the vision dust/GME

Guardian gloves: Vendor trash.

Well, there you have it. Leatherworking 1-200 with full itemization. This is not the be all end all of LW grinding but more of a guide for those looking for a quick, semi-painless way to power level. These are many other patterns that sell well while youre climbing the LW ladder. Give those a try if youre skilling up while you level your character.

ENJOY!!!

Tailoring 1-300 Guide

2007-05-28T20:07:00.000-07:00

This guide will show you how to get your tailoring skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 275 and vendor available recipe's from 275 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require cloth and vendor bought material (thread, dye). The only exceptions are the vendor bought recipe's to get to 300 which require rugged leather. The leather needed is easely aquired through skinning or the auction house.

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of linen and wool cloth and huge amounts of silk, mageweave and runecloth. Create an alt storage character to store these amounts of cloth and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the cloth needed. Use the ingame mail system to send the cloth to the storage character. You may need more than one storage character. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the cloth back.
Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e the linen cloth are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the wool, silk, etc.

The recipe's used require vendor bought components such as threads and dye. These cost gold. To learn recipe's from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is aproximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the cloth. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 250 gold. This does not include gold for recipe's from vendors or the auction house.

Below is a table that shows the amount of cloth needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you make something so you won't allways get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of cloth. If you are buying all the cloth you need from the auction house, I suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed. The numbers in the estimated amount column are rounded up to full stacks of whatever the component stacks up to.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Linen Cloth 140 (7 stacks) 160 (8 stacks)
Wool Cloth 165 (9 stacks) 200 (10 stacks)
Silk Cloth 700 (35 stacks) 760 (38 stacks)
Mageweave Cloth 450 (23 stacks) 520 (26 stacks)
Runecloth 750 (38 stacks) 900 (45 stacks)
Rugged Leather 90 (10 stacks) 120 (12 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50

Getting from 1 to 50 seems easy enough. Making a bolt of linen cloth greys out at 50, so it looks like this is the easiest way to get to 50. However, since making a bolt of linen cloth becomes yellow at 25 and green at 37, you will most likely make much more bolts than needed to get from 50 and further.
Getting from 50 and further requires at least 70 bolts of linen cloth, so lets make those first and set those aside. If you haven't reached 50 yet, make a bolt of linen cloth and then a linen belt. The linen belt will give a skill point. Repeat this until 50.
Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Tailor. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Tailor.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Skill Item From - To

1 Bolt of Linen Cloth 1 - 50 (50)
15 Linen Belt 45 - 50 (5)

Getting from 50 to 125

First use the bolts of linen cloth set aside earlier to get to 75. Make linen bags to get from 50 to 70. Make the reinforced linen cape to get to 75.
There are two other recipe's that can be used to get from 50 to 70, the heavy linen gloves and the reinforced linen cape. These recipe's are cheaper in components than the linen bag, but since the bag sells for more silver at a vendor (2 silver for the bag versus 29 copper for the gloves and 67 copper for the cape) and you have to make a lot of bolts to get to 50 anyway, I decided to go for the linen bag so you can recoup a bit more of the money you lose wasting material.
At 75 you can train to make bolt of woolen cloth. Bolt of woolen cloth greys out at 105. To get from 105 to 125 you need at least 55 bolts of woolen cloth, so lets make those and see how far we get.

If you haven't reached 105, make 1 bolt of woolen cloth and then make a woolen cape until you do reach 105.

Now use the 55 bolts of woolen cloth made earlier and make gray woolen shirts until 110 and double-stitched woolen shoulders to get from 110 to 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Tailor. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Skill Item From - To

45 Linen Bag 50 - 70 (20)
60 Reinforced Linen Cape 70 - 75 (5)
75 Bolt of Woolen Cloth 75 - 105 (25)
75 Woolen Cape 100 - 105 (5)
100 Gray Woolen Shirt 105 - 110 (5)
110 Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders 110 - 125 (15)

Getting from 125 to 200

At 125 you can make bolt of silk cloth, which greys out at 145. Since you're going to need at least 175 bolts of silk cloth for your skill up recipe's you will most likely reach 145 with that, so lets make those bolts of silk cloth.
Make azure silk hoods to get from 145 to 160, silk headbands to get from 160 to 170 and formal white shirts to get from 170 to 175.
At 175 you can make bolt of mageweave which greys out at 185. Later on you're going to need at least 90 bolts of mageweave, so lets make those bolts. This should get you to 185 easely.
Now back to silk. Make Crimson Silk Vests to get from 185 to 200.
Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Tailor. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Tailor.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Skill Item From - To

125 Bolt of Silk Cloth 125 - 145 (20)
145 Azure Silk Hood 145 - 160 (15)
160 Silk Headband 160 - 170 (10)
170 Formal White Shirt 170 - 175 (5)
175 Bolt of Mageweave 175 - 185 (10)
185 Crimson Silk Vest 185 - 200 (15)

Getting from 200 to 275

First make some more crimson silk vests to get from 200 to 205 and crimson silk pantaloons to get to 215.

Make black mageweave leggings or vests to get from 215 to 220, black mageweave gloves to get from 220 to 230 and black mageweave headbands or shoulders to get from 230 to 250.

At 250 you can make bolts of runecloth, which greys out at 260. Make bolts of runecloth until you reach 260 skill and use those to make runecloth belts. The runecloth belt recipe becomes yellow at 270, so you should be able to reach 275 using this recipe.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 200 to 275.

Skill Item From - To

185 Crimson Silk Vest 200 - 205 (5)
195 Crimson Silk Pantaloons 200 - 215 (5)
205 Black Mageweave Leggings
or Black Mageweave Vest 215 - 220 (5)
215 Black Mageweave Gloves 220 - 230 (10)
230 Black Mageweave Headband or
Black Mageweave Shoulders 230 - 250 (20)
250 Bolt of Runecloth 250 - 260 (10)
255 Runecloth Belt 260 - 275 (15)

Getting from 275 to 300

Although the runecloth belt recipe greys out at 300 I wouldn't use this recipe to skill up to 300, because the amount of runecloth needed would be huge and thus expensive.
Below is a table with recipe's available from different vendors. These are limited availability recipe's, so you need some luck getting them, but i think they are much more usefull in getting your skill to 300.

Ofcourse there are plenty of dropped recipe's that can get you to 300, but getting those require even more luck than with the vendor available recipe's or spending some money at the auction house.

Make runecloth bags to get to 280 and runecloth gloves to get to 300.
Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in tailoring.
This table shows the different recipes that are available through vendors to get from 275 to 300.

Skill Item From - To

260 Runecloth Bag 275 - 280 (5)
275 Runecloth Gloves 280 - 300 (20)

This table shows who and where the different vendors are for the previously mentioned recipe's. The vendors are neutral to both Horde and Alliance.

What Who Where

Runecloth Bag Qia Everlook in Winterspring
Runecloth Gloves Qia Everlook in Winterspring

This table shows the material needed to get from 270 to 300.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Runecloth 525 (27 stacks) 700 (35 stacks)
Rugged Leather 90 (9 stacks) 120 (12 stacks)

WoW Jewelcrafting Guide - Burning Crusade

2007-05-28T19:52:00.000-07:00

This power leveling guide is focused on leveling jewelcrafting from 1-300 as quickly and easily as possible when the Burning Crusade is released. This should give you edge over players who are unprepared for Jewelcrafting when the expansion is out. I have chosen designs with easily obtainable materials opposed to cheap materials, and I have not considered resale value of items. If you have any suggestions, please share them with me at suggestions@almostgaming.com. Additionally, this guide was written during the beta so design specifications and material are likely to change. Please keep me posted with what you discover so I can keep this guide updated./p>

Once the Burning Crusade is released, the below materials will likely increase in value as Horde and Alliance shuffle to their respected cities and try to power level Jewelcrafting. I strongly recommend not only buying what you'll need to level to 300, but also extras in case something goes wrong after the Burning Crusade is released.

Here is the list of best case scenario and recommended amounts of materials for 1-300 Jewelcrafting:

7g 12s 80c for training

75-90 Jade
90-120 Elemental Earth
120-180 Thorium Bars

Engineering 1-300 Guide

2007-05-28T19:46:00.000-07:00

-This is the guide I used to level up my engineering on my Rogue. I don't know the source for this one =( Enjoy!

Okay. I decided to pick up engineering, Here's the guide that I created last night, trying to spend the least amount of gold I could. I must admit that it's about 70 gold for EVERYthing, But in the end, you'll have like 20-25 gold in your pocket. This is the Quick and Dirty way. If you can't keep up with the bill, I suggest getting mining, as it alleviates nearly 90% of your costs when you just straight mine to 300.
First is the shopping list of all items I used in my powerlevel. You WILL have leftovers on most things but I padded for the unlucky.
Next is the List itself. What to skill up on until the level desired. For instance, 1-40 means stop doing it when you get your 40th profession point. Next, what typically you can do with the item. Then, AHed ingredients and finally the ingredients in ONE make of the crafted item.

Also, please leave comments.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Shopping list of items needed:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Pick up Schematics that help out:

"Discombulator Ray":
1.You need a DELTA ACCESS security card. It's a low % drop in gnomeregan, so getting it is the hardest part. I've found 3 off of the mobs coming from the back door. You can also find it from AH though in some cases. The important part about delta security card is that it is not BoP, so once you have gotten your schematic, sell it to someone else.
2. You must have 160 engineering.
3. Learn the schematic directly from 3500-D terminals on the way to Thermaplugg from the back door, in the engineering labs.
*4. Now, I have heard also that Alliance need to have the Red Access card, as well, but I did not have it when I got the ability.

"Schematics: Repair bot 74A":
Learn this from a scroll on the ground next to Golem Lord Argelmach in BRD at 300 engineering. (First of all, you'll need the Shadowforge Key.
1. Take your first left, unlock the gate, run up to the gate on the right, unlock that, run up to the door on the left, unlock it.
2. Walk up to the big gear in this room, and unlock the chain.
3. Run up the ramp in this room, take the left up the stairs, then follow the hallways. You'll come to a room with about 4 fire elementals, stairs going down on the left, and a ramp going down on the right. Go right.
4. Ahead of you will be many non-elite gnomes and elite elementals standing around. Go straight down from the ramp until you come to a room with a named, and two elementals guarding him.
5. The plans are to your right.)
It takes 12 Thorium Bars, 4 Rugged Leather, 1 Fused Wiring, 2 Elemental Earth, and 1 Elemental Fire. It has only 1 charge before it is expended. Not cheap.

----------------------------------------------------------------
---Types of Artisan Engineering---

The Master Gnome engineer is in Booty Bay.
The Master Goblin engineer is in Gadgetzan. These trainers will give you a task to complete to join
that society. Note that you don't need to choose either, as it is not linked to learning
artisan engineering at level 35 at all.

For your Goblin engineering quest:
20 Big Iron Bombs (190) (3x Iron Bar 3x Heavy Blasting Powder 1x Silver Contact)
20 Solid Dynamite (175) (1x Solid Blasting Powder 1x Silk Cloth)
5 Explosive Sheep (150)
(1x Bronze Framework 1x Whirring Bronze Gizmo 2x Heavy Blasting Powder 2x Wool Cloth)

For your Gnome engineering quest:
6 Mithril Tubes (195) (3x Mithril Bar)
1 Accurate Scope (180) (1x Bronze Tube 1x Jade 1x Citrine)
2 Advanced Target Dummies (185)
(1x Iron Strut 1x Bronze Framework 1x Gyrochronatom 4x Heavy Leather)

Goblin is the realm of BOOM. You get a wider variety of and more powerful explosives. Unfortunately the dragon gun and the mortar still trigger the shared explosive reuse timer, though they are on seperate cooldowns.

Goblin engineering produces the following:
1) (205) Goblin mining hat (AC 190, +15 sta, +5 mining, mail armor, BoP) (You no take candle!)
2) (205) Goblin construction hat (AC 44, +15 fire resist, cloth, BoP) Use: absorb 300 to 500 fire damage for 1 minute.
3) (205) Goblin sapper charge (explosive, limited use) Damage enemies around you for a lot while damaging you
for slightly less.
4) (205) Goblin Rocket Fuel recipe (creates a recipe) create recipes for alchemists, who in turn can supply you
with goblin rocket fuel, necessary for some schematics.
5) (205) Goblin Mortar (explosive, 6 uses) Has a minimum and maximum range. Binds on equip, so you can
recharge your own mortar (using the Mortar: Reloaded schematic gained at the same time) for significantly
fewer resources than a new mortar, but cannot recharge anyone elses as it is soulbound to them.
Also worth noting is that this item apparently still causes a "stun" effect instead of a "disorient" effect,
which is somewhat more useful. However, the radius is smaller than listed, probably 6 yards instead of 10.
6) (225) Goblin Rocket Boots (AC 41, cloth) These boots are one of the few items usable by those without
the engineering skill. They allow fast running for a short period of time, but are prone to explosion.
7) (230) Goblin Bomb Dispenser (trinket, BoP) Can create one bomb that behaves as an exploding sheep, every
30 minutes.
Cool (235) The Big One (explosive, 2 uses) A massive bomb that deals high damage in a huge radius. Has a
longer than usual activation time.
9) (240) Goblin Dragon Gun (trinket, BoP) A 10-second channel creates a cone of flame that deals damage each second.
10(?)) (245) Goblin Rocket Helmet (AC 50, +15 sta, cloth) Allows you to charge an enemy, knocking it unconscious
for 30 seconds and yourself for less time. Damage ends the effect.

Gnomish is the realm of devices. Trinkets for every occasion. If you are satisfied with the amount of explosives from standard engineering, go gnomish for utility.

Gnomish engineering produces the following:
1) (205) Gnomish Shrink Ray (trinket) temporarily reduces target's attack power by 250. this can also backfire
on the user, causing them to shrink or grow.
2) (205) Inlaid mithril cylinder plans (creates a recipe) creates plans for blacksmiths, who in turn can
provide you with mithril cylinders, necessary for some schematics.
3) (210) Gnomish Goggles (AC 45, +9 agi, +9 sta, +9 spi, cloth, BoP) goggles with agility
4) (210) Gnomish Net-O-Matic Projector (trinket) Roots target for 10 seconds, 10 minute cooldown. Can backfire
and root the user instead.
5) (215) Gnomish Harm Prevention belt (AC 66, +6 sta, leather) Use: blocks 500 damage over the next minute,
but can also temporarily remove the user from reality.
6) (225) Gnomish rocket boots (AC 41, cloth) requires engineering to use, but cannot be destroyed like the
goblin version.
7) (230) Gnomish Battle Chicken (trinket, BoP) summons a combat chicken for 90 seconds. 30 minute cooldown.
Cool (235) Gnomish mind control cap (AC 50, +14 spi, cloth) allows mind control of your target for a short time.
9) (240) Gnomish death ray (trinket, BoP) a 4-second channel deals damage to you each second, and then releases
more than the total amount at your target. Aggros as you start channeling.

Those are the big differences I know of. It's purely a matter of preference. Keep in mind that aside from the ones that are Bind of Pickup, you can trade/buy to get most of the other's products!

That's it, you should be 300 when reading this little section. Props to Thottbot, Auction House, and ideas given by various forums. Good luck to you, you'll probably need it after this faq drains your wallet. ^_^

Enchanting 1-300 Guide

2007-05-28T19:44:00.000-07:00

This is the guide I used to level up my enchanting. No known author but it seems like its the same one that made the alchemy guide. Enjoy!

This guide will show you how to get your enchanting skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 265 and vendor available recipe's from 265 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require components aquired through disenchanting. Shards will be avoided as much as possible, since they are difficult to get.

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of dust, essences and some shards. Create two alt storage characters, level one of the storage characters up to 5, so she can become an enchanter and send green items to her for disenchanting. Send green items to the other storage character. Since disenchanting will also give a skill point, these green items will be used to disenchant later. Use the ingame mail system to send everything to the storage characters. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage characters, so they can send everything back.
Ofcourse you want to know at which level a green item gives what. Below is a list taken from Jaywu's Enchanting FAQ.

Dust and Essence:

Generally the dust is from armor and the essence is from weapons, though it can randomly be anything.
Level 01-10: A little strange dust/lesser magic essence.
Level 11-15: Much strange dust/greater magic essence.
Level 16-20: Much strange dust/lesser astral essence.
Level 21-25: Little soul dust/greater astral essence.
Level 26-30: Much soul dust/lesser mystic essence.
Level 31-35: Little vision dust/greater mystic essence.
Level 36-40: Much vision dust/lesser nether essence.
Level 41-45: Little dream dust/greater nether essence.
Level 46-50: Much dream dust/lesser eternal essence.
Level 51-55: Little illusion dust/greater eternal essence.
Level 56-60: Much illusion dust/greater eternal essence
Shards:
Shards come from blue or purple items (they can come from greens, but don't count on it).
Level 01-20: Small glimmering.
Level 21-25: Large glimmering.
Level 26-30: Small glowing.
Level 31-35: Large glowing.
Level 36-40: Small radiant.
Level 41-45: Large radiant.
Level 46-50: Small brilliant.
Level 51-60: Large brilliant.

Once you have all the components collected everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e. the green items to disenchant are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after strange dust and magic essences, which are needed next, and the other dusts and essences.

To learn recipe's from a trainer costs gold. The amount of gold needed is aproximately 20 to 25 gold if you disenchant all of the dust, essences and shards. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 800 gold. This does not include gold for recipe's from vendors or the auction house.

To enchant something requires runed rods, such as a runed copper rod. To make those rods you need rods made by blacksmiths. For example; to make a runed copper rod you need a copper rod. The following rods are needed; copper rod, silver rod, golden rod, truesilver rod and arcanite rod. Find a blacksmith who can make the rods for you or check the auction house and get them. The arcanite rod is expensive. Making a runed arcanite rod is also expensive. Since it is not needed for this guide, but only for the highlevel enchants, you may want to postpone getting one if you are strapped for gold.

Below is a table that shows the amount of dust, essences and shards needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you enchant something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you enchant something so you won't allways get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of dust, essences and shards on your storage character. The numbers in the estimated amount column are rounded up to full stacks of whatever the component stacks up to. The numbers in the table do not take into account the disenchanting of items to get the first skill points.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Strange Dust 184 (19 stacks) 190 (19 stacks)
Soul Dust 80 (8 stacks) 90 (9 stacks)
Vision Dust 149 (15 stacks) 160 (16 stacks)

Truesilver Rod 1 (1 stacks) 1 (1 stacks)
Arcanite Rod 1 (1 stacks) 1 (1 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50

Earlier I wrote that you need runed rods to enchant something. The first rod needed is the runed copper rod. So make a runed copper rod to get your first skill point.
Disenchanting items will get you a skill point. Send the green items you stored on a storage character to your main and disenchant them.
If you were not able to reach 50 with disenchanting, enchant a bracer with minor health to get to skill 50. You can enchant the same bracer over and over again. An annoying window will pop up each time asking if you are sure to overwrite the existing enchant. Just click ok to do so.

Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Enchanter. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Enchanter.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Skill Item From - To
1 Runed Copper Rod 0 - 1 (1)
1 Enchant Bracer - Minor Health 2 - 50 (49)

Getting from 50 to 125

Enchant the bracer some more with minor health to get to 70. Now enchant the bracer with minor deflection to get to 80.
Enchant a chest item with minor absorption to get to 90, a cloak with minor resistance to get to 95 and a bracer with minor stamina to get to 100.

At 100 you can make a runed silver rod, which you need later on, so make one now and get a skill point.
Enchant a chest item with lesser health to get to 105, a bracer with minor agility to get to 115 and a shield with minor stamina to get to 125.
Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Enchanter. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Enchanter.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Skill Item From - To

1 Enchant Bracer - Minor Health 50 - 70 (20)
20 Enchant Bracer - Minor Deflection 70 - 80 (10)
40 Enchant Chest - Minor Absorption 80 - 90 (10)
45 Enchant Cloak - Minor Resistance 90 - 95 (5)
50 Enchant Bracer - Minor Stamina 95 - 100 (5)
60 Enchant Chest - Lesser Health 101 - 105 (4)
80 Enchant Bracer - Minor Agility 105 - 115 (10)
100 Runed Silver Rod 100 - 101 (1)
105 Enchant Shield - Minor Stamina 115 - 125 (10)

Getting from 125 to 225

Enchant the shield some more with minor stamina to get to 130. Enchant a bracer with lesser stamina to get to 150.
At 150 you can make a runed golden rod, which you need later on, so make one now and get a skill point.
Enchant a bracer with lesser intellect to get to 155. Enchant a shield with lesser stamina to get to 160. Enchant boots with lesser agility to get to 170, a chest item with greater health to get to 180, a bracer with spirit to get to 185, boots with lesser stamina to get to 190 and a bracer with strength to get to 200.
Allthough you can become artisan enchanter once you hit 200 it is better to max to 225 first, since the trainer for artisan enchanter is inside an instance. I will get back on this in the next chapter. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Enchanter.

At 200 you can make a runed truesilver rod, which you need later on, so make one now and get a skill point.
Enchant a chest item with greater mana to get to 205, a cloak with greater defense to get to 215 and a cloak with resistance to get to 225.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 225.

Skill Item From - To

105 Enchant Shield - Minor Stamina 125 - 130 (5)
130 Enchant Bracer - Lesser Stamina 130 - 150 (25)
151 - 155 (4)
150 Runed Golden Rod 150 - 151 (1)
155 Enchant Shield - Lesser Stamina 155 - 160 (5)
160 Enchant Boots - Lesser Agility 160 - 165 (5)
165 Enchant Bracer - Spirit 165 - 185 (20)
170 Enchant Boots - Lesser Stamina 185 - 190 (5)
180 Enchant Bracer - Strength 190 - 200 (10)
185 Enchant Chest - Greater Mana 201 - 205 (4)
200 Runed Truesilver Rod 200 - 201 (1)
205 Enchant Cloak - Greater Defense 205 - 215 (10)
205 Enchant Cloak - Resistance 215 - 225 (10)

Getting from 225 to 265

At 225 you have to become artisan enchanter to get any further. The master enchanter that teaches artisan enchanting is inside Uldaman. The highest level recipe she trains needs 250 skill, so you want to bring enough material to get to 250.
The table below shows the components needed to get from 225 to 250, so bring these with you when going the the master enchanter in Uldaman. You will need the runed truesilver rod made earlier as well. You will also need boots, gloves and a chest item to enchant, but you are probably wearing those, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Vision Dust 75 (8 stacks) 90 (9 stacks)
Dream Dust 10 (1 stacks) 20 (2 stacks)
Lesser Nether Essence 15 (2 stacks) 20 (2 stacks)
Greater Nether Essence 5 (1 stacks) 10 (1 stacks)
Runed Truesilver Rod 1 1

Once you reach the trainer talk to her to become artisan enchanter. Once you're artisan enchanter enchant gloves with agility to get to 230, boots with stamina to get to 235, a chest item with superior health to get to 240, gloves with strength to get to 245 and a bracer with greater strength to get to 250. Once you have trained all the recipe's she can train you, you can leave the instance.

Enchant the bracer some more with greater strength to get to 265.
Allthough you can get to 270 with the last recipe you train from a trainer I am not going to use that recipe since it requires wildvine. Wildvine is a herb and can not be aquired through disenchanting. The recipe also uses shards and i want to minimize the use of shards as much as possible. Vendor available recipe's are going to be used to get to 300.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 225 to 265.

Skill Item From - To

210 Enchant Gloves - Agility 225 - 230 (5)
215 Enchant Boots - Stamina 230 - 235 (5)
220 Enchant Chest - Superior Health 235 - 240 (5)
225 Enchant Gloves - Strength 240 - 245 (5)
240 Enchant Bracer - Greater Strength 245 - 265 (20)

Getting from 265 to 300

Get the enchant shield - greater stamina recipe from Mythrin'dir in Darnassus or Daniel Bartlett in Undercity and enchant a shield with greater stamina to get to 285. The recipe is bind on pickup when bought so make sure you buy it yourself and not an alt or friend or guildmember.

Get the enchant cloak - superior defense from Lorelae Wintersong in Moonglade and enchant a cloak with superior defense to get to 290.
At 290 you can make a runed arcanite rod, allthough you don't need one to get to 300, you are going to need one in your enchanting career anyway, so make one now and get a skill point. You can get the runed arcanite rod recipe from Lorelae Wintersong in Moonglade.

Enchant the cloak some more with superior defense to get to 300.

Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in enchanting.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 265 to 300.

Skill Item From - To

265 Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina 265 - 285 (20)
285 Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense 285 - 290 (5)
291 - 300 (9)
290 Runed Arcanite Rod 290 - 291 (1)
This table shows who and where the different vendors are for the previously mentioned recipe's.
What Who Where
Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina (BoP) Mythrin'dir (Alliance Faction)
Daniel Bartlett (Horde Faction) Darnassus

Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense Lorelae Wintersong (Neutral) Moonglade
Runed Arcanite Rod Lorelae Wintersong (Neutral) Moonglade

Alchemy 1-300 Guide

2007-05-28T19:36:00.000-07:00

This is a guide I used to level up my alchemy 1-300, I was not able find out the source or author. But Credits to the Author!

This guide will show you how to get your alchemy skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 265 and vendor available recipe's from 265 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require herbs and vendor bought material (vials).

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you. This guide will not tell you what to do with the potions you make either.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of herbs. Create an alt storage character to store these herbs and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the herbs needed. Use the ingame mail system to send the herbs to the storage character. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the herbs back.
Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e peacebloom and silverleaf are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the briarthorn, mageroyal, etc.

The recipe's used require vendor bought components such as vials. These cost gold. To learn recipe's from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is aproximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the herbs. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 225 gold. This does not include gold for recipe's from vendors or the auction house.
Below is a table that shows the amount of herbs needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you make something so you won't allways get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of herbs on your storage character. If you are buying all the herbs you need from the auction house, I suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Peacebloom 60 (3 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)
Silverleaf 60 (3 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)
Mageroyal 15 (1 stacks) 20 (1 stacks)
Briarthorn 80 (4 stacks) 90 (5 stacks)

Insane Farming requires 70 Lock

First off if you're looking for fast WoW Gold I recommend The MMORPG Exchange. They're easy to deal with, they have great prices, and their support is excellent. They're my secret weapon for fast gold! I highly recommend them, okay let's continue…

Havent seen a good new strat since before bc. Anyways i got a beauty for yall. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

SEED OF CORRUPTION

There's several good aoe spots in the outlands(you can't have mine lol):p It basically takes a team of 2. It could be done if you are an sl lock but just not worth the time. I've powerleveled and farmed with basically every class with this ONE warlock spell. Just have your buddy round up a bunch of mobs and hold them in place while u toss out 5-6 seeds out. I use shadowfury to set it off but if u got a mage that will do just as well. Pallies can easily round up and hold these mobs till you get the seeds off. Even my 66 shaman buddy can do it. Frost mages are real good to ice block then nova and blink out after rounding up the mobs. Warriors work fine too as long as you aren't pullng casters.

Just try it for yourself if you are a lock. First time i tested it i pulled all of andorhol around araj with my blueberry and blew up the whole place in seconds. It's pretty ridiculous. It's bound to get nerfed soon its just not right lol so have fun with it once you get it. I'll give yall the spots once i get exalted with my factions :p

Alliance Leveling Guide

2007-04-15T04:08:00.000-07:00

First off if you're looking for fast WoW Gold I recommend The MMORPG Exchange. They're easy to deal with, they have great prices, and their support is excellent. They're my secret weapon for fast gold! I highly recommend them, okay let's continue…

This guide pretty much kicks ass.I will show you were to grind and
quest from levels 1-40 and from 55-70.

Starting area (darnassus,elwynn,dun morogh,azuremyst isle)Do LOTS of questing in these areas, dont even grind at all. This should get you to level 10-12. The best starting place is dun morogh.

Advanced area (westfall,bloodmyst isle,darkshore) In these areas you should quest about 65-80% and grind the rest.This should get you to level 17-20. Bloodmyst isle is the best place of all these.

Duskwood and redridge mountains is the best place for levels 19-22. Here do about half grinding and half questing. Duskwood is the better place to get levels of these two places but they're both nice places. After you hit level 22 head over to stormwind and get some new weapons and armor, also pick up a one gathering profesion and one crafting profesion that are related to each other (examples: herbalism and alchemy, blacksmithing and mining, tailoring and enchanting, skinning and leatherworking)

Ashenvale and the wetlands are good places to get from 22-25. This is where grinding takes over. Grind a lot and quest as much as you can, as there aren't many quests in these places, they will get you a ton of experince though.

Hillsbrad foothills and deadwind pass are the only places to go to get to level 28. There aren't many quests here so you have to grind.While you're at these places remember to skin things and mine ore and collect herbs for your crafting profesion. Head to stormwind once you hit level 28 and get some twink shit 'cause you're gonna need it.

Stranglethorn vale is a dangerous place for a badly geared character so if you dont have good items go to arathi highlands.In STV grind on tigers and gorrilas or whatever you find.You will probably get ganked a few times but it doesnt do 10% damage to your items, just find your corpse and respawn. Arathi highlands is a little bit of quest but mostly grinding. You should get to levels 31 or 32.

Go to thousand needles now. Grind and quest here until you're level 34.

Dustwallow marsh is the place to now. Grind on whatever you find. If you like to piss the horde off go to the barrens and kill horde NPC's.You can get to level 40 easily here. Here is the end of the 1-40 guide and now is the 55-70 guide. Hope you enjoy it!

Eastern plaugelands and western plauglands are the place to go now. I think the EP is easier at a low level so go there first till youre level 57. Go to WP now till you're level 59. Quest a lot here and grind some to.

Winterspring is the place to go now. There is a major goblin town there so you can pick up quite a few quests there and just kill stuff there until you're half way to level 61. Now the outland guide comes into play. You will need the expansion for this.

Hellfire penninsula is where you go now. Quest until youre level 62.

Zangamarsh is where to quest now. Get to halfway between 63 and 64 and go to tekkor forest.

Tekkor forest is the place to ace. Quest and grind to level 66. Remeber, get ores, herbs, and hides so you can level up your professions.

Find some monsters to grind on that are easy to kill and get to level 68.

Shadowmoon valley is your final destination! Quest and grind till you are level 70. Get your flying mount now and do some end-game dungeons with some friends. I like the swift green gryphon the best.

TIPS

1.Make a level one alt that sits around stormwind or ironforge that handles all your auction house needs and sells your stuff.

2.If you can't afford stuff I recommend buying the World of Warcraft Cash Creating Guide. I can make 100-150 gold with this per hour easily at level 70.You can still make 50 gold an hour at level one with this guide.

3.You can solo this whole guide so don't get in a group unless there is a lot of people where you're going.

Azuregos Walkthrough

2007-04-15T04:07:00.000-07:00

First off if you're looking for fast WoW Gold I recommend The MMORPG Exchange. They're easy to deal with, they have great prices, and their support is excellent. They're my secret weapon for fast gold! I highly recommend them, okay let's continue…

Overview
Azuregos is a dragon from the blue flight he roams around Azshara. He is a raid type mob that is is immune to arcane spells and is very frost-resistant.

Azuregos Abilities

Mark of Frost:
(You get it on death): A player who is hit with the Mark of Frost will be temporarily (15 min) frozen in a block of ice should they attempt to re-engage Azuregos. Mark of Frost will persist through death and resurrection.

Reflect
Azuregos periodically puts up a magic reflection shield that bounces spells back at the caster. The state of this shield will be announced in raid shout. It is also quite visible; you will see a sparkly halo around the dragon.

Manastorm:
Azuregos will cast Blizzard spell like at random points close to him, this spell also drains mana.

Cleave:
Swipes multiple targets in melee range with his claw for 900-1600 dmg.

Teleport:
Teleports all players within 30 yards directly on top of him and completely resets aggro.

Cone of Cold:
Cone shaped like attack which will damage and slow targets for 30 seconds.

Countering Azuregos Abilities

Mark of Frost:
(You get it on death): A player who is hit with the Mark of Frost will be temporarily (15 min) frozen in a block of ice should they attempt to re-engage Azuregos. Mark of Frost will persist through death and resurrection. This was put in place by blizzard to stop guilds graveyard rezzing and killing him this way there is no way to avoid this except not to die.

Reflect
Azuregos periodically puts up a magic reflection shield that bounces spells back at the caster. Just make sure all your casters keep an eye out for the blue sparks coming from his mouth. When this appears just stop casting.

Manastorm
Azuregos will cast Blizzard spell like at random points close to him, this spell also drains mana. Once he teleports everyone near him he usually does this spell so its best to run straight away from him the second you are teleported.

Teleport:
Teleports all players within 30 yards directly on top of him and completely resets aggro. This is the main trick to this whole fight. The secret is to think of this spell as a good spell for everyone to get because if everyone is getting it then noone will have agro but if a MT gets it and there are still players out of range not getting this then Azuregos will have agro on them and it may be a pain to get agro back onto the MT's.

Walkthrough

Aggro Management: Teleport and having the tank Frozen and Slowed makes for touchy aggro. Anyone with any threat built up against Azuregos *must* be caught in the teleport, else Azuregos will come straight to them after the teleport. After the teleport, others must consider that the MT is working from 0 threat, so will need a few seconds to build aggro before people start using their 1k dmg abilities. DPS needs to be well controlled.

Healing: This is a very long fight. Healers will run out of mana well before Azuregos is close to dead. A way to deal with this is to wait for Azuregos to teleport, so you have 0 threat and have little chance of being caught out of teleport range, and run far enough away to get out of combat (like outrunning a mob to escape combat). The healers can then drink back up to full mana and return to combat. Get a rotation going and cooridinate with others to try and make healing last longer. Healers should be healing from 25+ yards away from Azuregos.

Tanking: Tank should use high threat output and normal tanking gear. Frost Resist doesn't help much, even though over 50% of the dmg is Frost based. He should watch who is in danger of Frost Breath and Cleave and position Azuregos accordingly. After a teleport, backpedal a small amount and resume tanking. You will be facing the same way. Normal tanking operation: Defensive Stance, repeatedly apply Sunder Armor (even with 5 applications on) or Revenge, if up.

Meleers: To minimize dmg taken and preserve healer mana, melee should Range Attack from 25+ yards until they see a Chill and then engage for 20 seconds in melee and run back out to Range Attack until another Chill. Meleers should help kill adds to clear a path to escape combat and to save healers. Upon receiving dmg, possibly from a Chill/Frost Breath/Cleave following a teleport, meleers should exit combat and eat, by running away far enough immediately after a teleport. *remember to turn off attack*

Casters: Casters should wand Azuregos from 25+ yards until the notice that Magic Shield is down. Then they may cast for about 15 seconds, then return to wanding. Long lasting strong DoTs should be avoided, to avoid drawing aggro after a teleport. Casters should help kill adds to clear a path to escape combat and to save healers. Upon receiving dmg, possibly from a Chill/Frost Breath/Cleave following a teleport, casters should exit combat and eat and drink, by running away far enough immediately after a teleport.

Hunters: Hunters should auto shoot Azuregos from 25-30 yards away. It is hard to measure the distance, so Hunters should watch how far meleers run out and group up with them. Hunters may use shots at their discretion. Pets will not help much vs Azuregos, but may be used to kill adds that may patrol into the raid. Upon receiving dmg, possibly from a Chill/Frost Breath/Cleave following a teleport, casters should exit combat and eat and drink, by running away far enough immediately after a teleport.

Leveling Powerlevel To 20 In Under 24 Hours

2007-04-15T04:05:00.000-07:00

First off if you're looking for fast WoW Gold I recommend The MMORPG Exchange. They're easy to deal with, they have great prices, and their support is excellent. They're my secret weapon for fast gold! I highly recommend them, okay let's continue…

O.K. before we begin let me give you my definition of Powerleveling:

Powerleveling = A method in which you acquire the greatest amount of experience points in the shortest time possible.

The method described here is for the Horde side with an 8 character account, 2 of every race and 1 of every class. Although you may be playing Alliance, or be playing Horde with less characters the same basic principles will help you level allot faster to 20. My actual play time to level 20 with my first character(Mage) was 22 hours 57 minutes and 39 seconds, you can find this info for your character using the /played command. This time, to some, may seem really slow for WOW and it is, but remember that all my characters are expert crafters(skill above 125, except for enchanting)and this in itself is a HUGE time sink. I could not imagine the time actually spent skinning every single mob I could, even the ones I did not kill myself, as well as gathering every herb regardless of the agro defending it, as well as the mining. As a side note: Bliz has done a very good job of putting most of the better material "spawns" right in the middle or very close too, allot of agro:( My crafting skill would be higher but I could not train to the next higher level, as the crafting trainers said I had to be level 20.(Most of my characters hit expert at level 15). Here is my characters and their trade skills, as well as, the order in which I leveled them:

Undead Mage - Skinning and Tailoring
Undead Priest - Herb and Enchanting
Troll Rouge - Herb and Alchemy
Troll Hunter - Skinning - Leatherworking
Tauren Warrior - Mining Blacksmithing(Armor)
Tauren Druid - Herb and Skinning
Orc Shaman - Mining and Blacksmithing(Weapon)
Orc Warlock - Mining and Engineering

Some items of interest here: As you can see I have 3 Herbalists, 3 Skinners, and 3 Miners on only 8 characters.(Remember that all characters gather cloth) As with this many gatherers I have never bought any items from another player, or the auction. The reason I have 2 peeps being blacksmiths is because at higher levels you can choose to "specialize" in Armor crafting or Weapon crafting, and since the Warrior is the only peep that can use Mail until level 40 I made him the Armor. Notice also, that I made the Druid a gatherer only, this is so that I can wipe her crafting skills and take "Woodworking" in the future, whether it is put in a patch or an expansion. No, I did not hear anything about woodworking but it is desperately needed, I mean an engineer can make bullets but not arrows? and what about staves? Having a blacksmith make staves is retarded. I also did not use the ninth and tenth character slots as they are for expansion peeps also. LOL, I did force my kids to play on the same server as the MPS guild, so if you see "Masony", "Mckenzie", or "Bluice" on Bleeding Hollow, they will be "noobing it up" so feel free to PK them, especially since they all went Alliance... sigh...

General things to remember when Powerleveling to 20, DO NOT grind. Grinding might be more beneficial at higher levels but at these loobie levels, the mobs will not drop the coin or gear that you need to keep your momentum up, to keep Powerleveling. Never look over your loot, as this is a waste of time, simply "Shift-right click" everything and it will all jump into your inventory. "Shift-right click" works on dead mobs, Herb gathering, and Mining, but does not work on Skinning. By the way, you shift-right click the mob, herb or mining node, not "Shift- right click" after you open up the target. If you get a green or other decent item, they will still be there when you head to town to sell, so don't waste time now. Never buy anything from an NPC, unless it is cheap food or drink for those classes that need it, you will need all your coin for buying your skills. Never repair your items, Items are 100% effective if they have full durability or they are one point away from being useless. At these low levels you will most likely find newer better gear before your current gear wears out, however if you do have an item that turns "red" repair it the next time you go town, but do not make an extra trip now. You should level all your characters in order from level 1 to 10, then 10 to 15, then 15 to 20.

Levels 1-5

These levels should all be completed within 60 minutes, simply run around and get your quests and do them. There is little else I can help you with here.(Hopefully you have Cosmo or CT, so you do not have to view that damn scrolling text in your quests, I use a Modded form of CT that a "friend" made me)

Levels 5-10

Here is where you will go to your "next town", for Undead this will be Brill, for Orc and Troll it will be Senjinn village, for Tauren it will be Bloodhoof. O.K. here if you are an Undead do "QUEST PACK UD1"(quest packs are listed below) If Orc or Troll do "QUEST PACK OT1" If Tauren do "QUEST PACK MOO1" While doing any of the quest packs you need to remember the basics of the quests such as locations, do not waste time writing down specifics though.

QUEST PACK UD1

Coming out of the newb spawn area there will be a guy in the road that asks you to get 10 pumpkins, do this now as this opens a new quest that you will need in the general area of the scarlet. After you get the 10 pumpkins go to brill turn in the quest,(he should make a potion that you give to an NPC in the bottom of the inn) and grab all the quests that you can around brill. Make sure your inventory is as empty as you can get it keeping only the basics.(Make sure you stop at the inn to "bind" there. Go west out of brill and talk to the big fat guy he will tell you to get 3 gloom weeds, these can be found right around the bridge area, while you are here you will see a little farmyard here this is where you get the claws that you need for the "putrid task" quest. You should also get the "blood vials" from the blood hounds here as they are right in the area. At this point you might need to run to brill and empty your inventory, unless you have found a bag or 2, even so turn in the quests and go far to the north west and you can kill the scarlets here by the tower for the "kill 10 scarlet Warriors". After this if you can do the vile fin quest as these are right there on the coast, but depending on your class they may be a little hard, if they are too hard right now just mentally note their location. At this point if you turned in the gloom weeds to the NPC in the graveyard, he will ask you to get 10 doom weeds which are north by the graverobbers. Go north and get the doom weeds and kill the grave robbers, the "mongrels" that you have to kill are north by the barn next to the farm field. By this time another trip to town for quests and selling of inventory will be needed. Next go to the Amagand farm and to the south of the farm you can kill the casters to get the eyes and the tanks there drop the ribs, you will also have to kill Devlin he is a tiny bit South East of the south most tower. Back to town to turn in quests and sell, then head South west, this will take you to the first scarlet kill task, kill the named and stay there and keep killing scarlets until you complete that quest and the task to collect 10 rings.(Proof of demise) At this point you have many options of quests you can do, do not forget to go upstairs in the inn as there is a girl up there that wants you to get duskbat pelts for her as well as 1 coarse thread.(The course thread can be bought right outside the inn from the "general trade good supplier". Keep doing the quests from brill eventually you will be given the Lich's quest that will require you to go to the Undead city to talk to the Mage in the magic quarter. Make sure you dump your items in the bank here if you have any you want to keep. After you hit level 10, DO NOT go to Silverpine. For future reference Silverpine is to the south west of the UD city just follow the road. Some notes on the other quests here, make sure you go South east on the road from Brill as there is a female NPC that will give you some quests also, these quests are far to the east. If you are looking for the friars and that kill task that is also far east and a little north, the spiders that you need to kill are at the friar location as well but west about 200-300 in-game feet.

QUEST PACK OT1

When coming out of the Orc-Troll newbie area there will be an NPC on the road asking you to take a package to Razor Hill, take this quest now and go to Razor Hill, DO NOT go to Senjinn village yet. AT Razor Hill you will be given a Quest you go to the human fort a little ways SE of Razor Hill, do this quest now. After killing the named boss towards the top of the tower, take the key you get from his body, and go way up top and there will be a chest there outside. This chest has an Item in it that will open a quest to go back to razor hill do this now. After going to razor hill and turning in the quests you will be given a quest to search the human wreckage for gnomes tools, go SE from razor hill and you will see the wrecks right off the shore, swim out to them and you will find the little chests with the tools in them laying around the wreckage. Run back to razor hill and turn in this quest, then run south to Senjinn village, just follow the road way south of razor hill. Here get all the quests you can and go a little bit west here is an NPC that will give you the quest to destroy the war plans, do this quest now by going further west and into the little break in the mountains, the 3 plans are in the 3 camps there. Turn in that quest and go to the shore south of Senjinn village where you kill the yellow con crabs for the mucus and the red con bigger crabs for the eyes. O.K. now check you quest log you should have at least 5 quests, 1 of them will have you finding raptor eggs, that you get from razor hill, the cook there will give it to you. You should also have the get 4 tiger furs and a find the skull quests, and even kill the named boss,(name starts with a "Z"). Swim to the islands south of Senjinn village here on these islands you can find the raptor eggs, the tiger furs, the skull,(this is on a little hill by where the named mob spawns) and the kill quest for the hexed trolls and the voodoo peeps. Finish up any quests that you have left, but DO NOT go to the crossroads. If you are not level 10 yet then go to Razor hill, and keep going north, when you are almost to Orgrimar look to the left(right after you get out of the ravine) and there is a goblin there that will give you a "gather supply" quest, after that he will give you another kill quest. Both of these quests have you traveling back south and about halfway there make a left, you will find the bags together here. After you take these back and get the kill task go back to the same spot and go south through the little opening you will find your kill tasks here. There are 2 other quests you can do here without going to the crossroads, and without killing fizzle. Go to Org and stay just south of it looking at the entrance, now turn west and go straight you will find an NPC that is positioned, hiding in a big rock formation. This is a timed quest, after talking to him go to the shadow cleft in Org and you will get a quest to get poison sacks these are dropped by the venomtails that are located where the NPC was that you got the quest from. After this you can go to a hut by where fizzle is and there is a lady in there that lost her son cause a crok ate him, just go to the river and keep killing croks until the medallion drops.

QUEST PACK MOO1

When you get to Bloodhoof you will be given a quest to collect acorns(these are under any big tree) and tablets.(These are at the water well to the SE of Bloodhoof). From here you will get other tasks that are all very easy and include killing the plainstriders that are found everywhere. The claws needed from the cats can be found by going straight south out of blood hoof as well as another NPC here.(By the south mountains). The razormanes can be found to the south and east a little and the higher level ones are in a camp to the east a little farther. The harpies when you get this quest are even father east, still against the southern mountains though. When at Bloodhoof you can also follow the road east and run into another NPC that will start you on quests killing the members of the vulture mining team. The Caravan is straight north right across the little pond there. The quest to kill the Supervisors and the named boss can be done by going into the caves which is to the north and after you go into the entrance make the first right and keep going straight the named mob is there. The Spirit wolf that you have to follow will take you NW from Bloodhoof into a little cave with yet another NPC that will give you a quest. The humans that are mining are to the NW of Bloodhoof, you DO NOT have to access the forge there, just take the tools that they drop to ThunderBluff and destroy them there at the forge. The forge is right at the eastern elevators. The named "arreache" roams in a half moon shaped trail from the mid top of TB moving right then down through the valley and back again. When you get the quest from TB to obtain the feathers there is a named ghost wolf there that will yet open another quest which can be completed in Bloodhoof. All the other quests in this area are very close together and self explained.

Levels 10-15

By now I had all my characters send all the stacks of 20 linen to my Mage tailor, this was enough for me to level to "40 skill" on bolts of linen and then make 28 - 6 slot bags for all 8 of my characters, and even had enough left over to make a couple robes for my casters. At level 10 your hunter and warlock should do all the pet related quests to obtain them, for my shaman at level 10 the fire totem quest was still a little too hard. All of your characters now should have their bags slots full, if they do not this is really going to slow you down. Now instead of continuing in the area that your characters are do the following:

Send your Orc and Troll race classes to do the Undead Quest pack, send you Undead and Tauren to do the Orc and Troll quest pack. Why? Well what we want here is speed, you already have done the quests in these areas with your other characters, and now you are going to do them with characters that are a few levels high AND have full bags so that you only have to make half as many trips to town. Some Quests are going to be green, do these anyway as they are extremely quick and still yield the same exp when turned in. If you see any quests that are grey or black these are your option to do them, remember though, that as of now there is no penalty to "abandon" a quest so just abort it if you do not want to do it. This method also helps you out allot later, as your Undead can then add the Silverpine and crossroads flight paths, and your Orc and troll can add the Undead city and Silverpine Flight paths. You Tauren will get Orgrimar and the Crossroads flight paths. As Far as the leveling goes, after you do these quest packs with your other characters, they will not quite be 15, this is when they all go to Silverpine and do the "Selphcher" quests. Since these are meant to be started at level 10 you will already have a 2-3 level advantage when you start these and can simply breeze through them. Some notes on the Silverpine quests: The bear hearts can be dropped by any grizzled bear. When you are given the quest "lost death stalkers" go a little farther east when you arrive and there is a little shack there with an NPC in it this will be your first "escort" mission. To save time do not go get the skittering blood until you also have the quest to get the shackles from the moonrages and the gluttons, as they are basically in the same area to the north east of town. Stay away from Pyrewood and save the elite quests for the level 15-20 or simply avoid them. The "Border Crossing" can be completed by going south out of town to where the little tent of human spellcasters are simply loot a box there.(This is just north of Pyrewood) The named boss that you must kill is in a mine off the road to the east, he is in the back, it is a very small mine but allot of agro. The pendants that you must obtain are from human spellcasters that are across the road from the "border crossings" crate. The last quest I did in this area was to get the ichor from fenris Island which is due East from town across the water.(Ignore the talking head as you need a group to do that quest)

Levels 15-20

This should be the same for all your characters by now. Finish up any and all quests in the Sepulcher up to and including the rot hide ichor quest but stop here. If you have any classes like the shaman need there "get this at level 10 quest" do that now as this will simply be a breeze since you are so high of a level compared to the quest level. Now as you log on your characters to level them move 1 by 1 to the crossroads, I had tried to keep my Undead doing quests in Silverpine, but there is basically only "2 quests per level" in Silverpine compared to the "5-6 quests a level" at the crossroads and ratchet, not to mention the Tauren camp south of crossroads. You can find the level of a quest by using a third party program such as CT. When you get to the crossroads make sure you tag the flight path there, as you run around getting the quests from the NPC's there you will get a supply quest to go to Orgrimar or ThunderBluff, DO NOT go there yet as you should do this quest when you level to 16-18-20 so you can train at the same time instead of making 2 separate trips. When you start to do quests here be picky because ALL my characters hit there "20 quests limit" in the quest book and there were still plenty of quests to take. Also now since you are a few levels higher then the quests do them in "phases", for example: Do the plainstrider, raptor heads, disrupting the attacks, quests right there close to crossroads as these are all in the same area. You could also head west out of the crossroads to the little outpost there and start doing the "kolkar" quests as well as the quests that involve the little oasis to the NW of crossroads.(If you find any "booty keys", this opens the chest by the boss in the hut, that looks different from all the other tents, you can only carry one, but after you use it you can obtain a key again. Then just repeat over and over, isn't this what we all want? FREE BOOTY! - some of the items are really needed also - lots of greens) After you hit 20 if you want to do your elite quests now is the time, you will still need a group though, the elite quests that I found were: Ragefire(in Orgrimar at the Shadow Cleft) Pyrewood(South of the Sepulcher, I would not go all the way back there though unless you already had a group to do it) and Wailing Caverns, which really you should wait a few more levels for.

WoW Mining Guide

2007-04-15T04:01:00.000-07:00

First off if you're looking for fast WoW Gold I recommend The MMORPG Exchange. They're easy to deal with, they have great prices, and their support is excellent. They're my secret weapon for fast gold! I highly recommend them, okay let's continue…

Mining in World of Warcraft is one of the best gold makers. Just be sure to sell your stuff in the Auction House in smelted stacks. The Buy Out option is one of your best advantages when you sell so make sure you use it. It's usually best to smelt copper and tin into bronze or vice Versa. Be sure to check the going price and figure out if selling the bases or the product will sell for more.

Lower level mining skill of course wouldn't make you as much as being on top of the chart and we know it may be a little difficult or frustrating to level. It may take about 1 hour to get to tin level so its not too bad. However tin is a little more aggravating. Near ashenvale there is a place with harpies that has a few nice spots. From there stick to the wall and go south, head over to South Barrens. Go around Scorpid, Bristleback and Razormane and you should be able to level your tin in no time.

Mithril is the key to making the most World of Warcraft gold. Engineering and Blacksmiths both need massive amounts to produce the items with their skills. Mithril usually sells off extremely fast a nice price in the auction house.

In southern Kalimdor you'll find Tanaris, a level 40-50 zone. There are many mineral ores that will make you filthy rich. You can start at Gadgetzan and cut across the desert to start. Be sure to check all the rocks and croppings along the way. The place is dangerous with alot of spawns. Travel along the edge, and then back along the outter boundary circling the map. Thistleshrub valley also has a few hot spots along with Un'Goro crater, Zul'Farrak and the areas close to Gadgetzan. Mining mithril may be a bit hard at low level, but the having the copper and tin will help you get some extra gold to spare until higher level. If you're level 50 you should be able to farm mithril fine.

Easy(AFK) Weapon Skill Lvl'ing

2007-03-31T06:36:00.000-07:00

This is in no way a new strategie, but I havn't seen it listed anywhere. I find this particularly useful on a lvl 60 character, as you can simply go afk and let your skill rise :)

Step 1 - Fly to Netherguard Keep, Blasted Lands.
Step 2 - Travel to 42,30ish where you will find mobs of humanoids. One of the mobs is called a "Servant of Sevine".
Step 3 - Clear your way to the servant, and agro the servant.
Step 4 - Kite this mob back to netherguard keep, and move it into the southern tower.

Here you must lose agro, and let the elite guards inside the keep tank the mob. Once you have lost agro, you are free to hit the mob, and go afk whilst your skill rises. If you are familiar with the quest involving these mobs, then you will know that you have to cog a crystal for the mob to die. Obviously there crystal is not cogged, and so the mob stays on 1% until a GM decides to despawn it :) (which usually takes 24hrs+ due to the obscure locale.) I'm sure you could pull the mob elsewhere for horde, although I am unfamiliar with the horde camps in that area. I would imagine you could do the same thing by kiting the mob to the horde camp in the south of the Swamp of Sorrows.

The Recently Deceased Part 4

2007-03-31T06:33:00.000-07:00

[48] STOLEN : Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
Objectives : Find and return the Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
Rewards : +10 Intellect, Restores 4 mana per 5 sec Cloth Gloves

While you are killing the Golems you can start looking out for these two items. The Tuyere drops from the Dark Iron Steamsmiths, and there are three main camps where you will find these, located along the northern edges of The Cauldron.

The Spyglass drops from the Dark Iron Lookouts, and you will find those at the towers along the west and southern sides of the cauldron. I have placed an 'x' beside each of the towers. Be sure not to fight up into the tower as the mob up there is elite, you don't need to worry about him.,

Be aware that the drop out for both of these items can be extremely frustrating at times, but if you run between the towers and the three steamsmith camps, and combine it with killing the golems, it's not too bad.

[48] JOB OPPORTUNITY : Culling the Competition
Objectives : Slay 15 Dark Iron Taskmasters and 15 Slavers
Rewards : XP!

[48] Forging the Shift
Objectives : Collect 8 Thorium Plated Daggers
Rewards : XP!

[50] What the Flux?
Objectives : Find the Secret Plans: Fiery Flux
Rewards : XP!

[49] Incendosaurs? Whateverosaur is More Like It
Objectives : Kill 20 Incendosaurs
Rewards : Luffa (Trinket) - Use: Removes one Bleed effect.

Although the Dark Iron Taskmaster's and Slavers can be found in the camps spotted all over, I found the easiest way was to kill them in the Slag Pit, and I needed to go through there anyway so why not two birds with one stone. Any Taskmaster and Slaver will drop the Thorium Plated Dagger as well.

If you look at the map below, I have placed blue dot's where there is a path heading down into The Cauldron. If you follow that path down, killing the patrols on the way, it will come to a small bridge and over the other side you should see an entrance into the cliff walls. If you head in through that entrance you should enter 'The Slag Pit.'

Fighting through the miners as well as some Taskmasters and Slavers you need, curve around to your left and go over the second little bridge to where you will see a large quarry gate over the other side. Right clicking the gate will open it for you and inside you will find yet more mobs you need.

You want to kill down the passage way there, you will eventually come into a first large room followed straight away by a second, larger room. In this second room you will see a ramp leading up on the far wall, you want to go up that ramp. Be aware that there will be mobs wandering up and down the ramp and about half way you will be given a choice of straight ahead or turning around and continuing up, you want straight ahead.

At the top of the ramp, on your left you will see it enters into a room with lots of Taskmasters and Slavers. The mobs here will come in sets of two, but really aren't that difficult to kill given they are around the mid 40's. From this room you will see on your left a corridor lined with tables, chairs and what looks like beds along the wall. To your right will be a small lookout and that is where Overseer Maltorius and his two elite buddies will be. Behind him, the Secret Plans: Fiery Flux.

Now you probably won't be able to take all three elites at once if you are solo, so load up Howl of Terror and be prepared to make a run for it. Howl of Terror should land on all three fairly easily, and once it does start looting the plans. After you have it in your hands, jump off the ledge, this will land you in the passage you were just clearing and you should be able to run till you drop agro.

Once you are clear, head back to the same room you were just in, only this time head across the bridge on the other side of the room. If you follow that, it will take you out into the open briefly before looping around back inside. Fighting through a couple of mobs and you should start to see lava, look to your right and you should see the first Incendosaur.

All around under there will be Incendosaurs and they are spaced well enough apart that you can single every one. Depending on how fast you kill, you may need to wait around for respawn to get all 20, but respawn is fairly fast. Pretty much every kill will drop one or more Incendosaur Scales, and these are used to hand in at Thorium Point for faction. You can either hand them in with Kingsblood, Heavy Leather or Iron Ore. Or you can sell them on the Auction House if you don't care about faction.

Once done, fight your way out and by the time you reach the top you should have all the Taskmasters, Slavers and Daggers you need.

[47] The Key to Freedom
Objectives : Find a use for the Grimsite Outhouse Key
Rewards : XP!

Most likely in the time you are fighting down there, or looking for the Steamsmiths and Lookouts, you would have seen at least one 'Grimsite Outhouse Key' drop. This item begins a quest and the outhouse you are looking for is found on the south-east part of the zone, not far from where you came in from Badlands.

The Outhouse is up at the back of the camp at Grimesilt Dig Site and you will talk to the door, I'm not sure I want to see inside anyway. Once you hand in the key, Locheed is free and runs away, but there must be a few people caught inside as you can get a second quest from the Outhouse.

[45] Caught!
Objectives : Kill 8 Dark Iron Geologists and bring 15 pieces of Silk Cloth to the person locked in the outhouse
Rewards : XP!

The camp just below you will have all the Dark Iron Geologists you need, however they drop Mageweave not Silk so you will need to collect that from somewhere else if you didn't bring it with you. Once you have killed the 8 you need, head back to the Outhouse.

[46] Ledger from Tanaris
Objectives : Take the copy of Goodsteel's Ledger and then find the items listed in it
Rewards : Charged Lightning Rod (Wand) 39 - 73 Nature Damage (37.3 DPS)

The next step involves you collecting a few items, one of them being the Goodsteel Ledger that will slide out from the Outhouse. If you don't see it straight away you might be on the wrong side.

The Solid Crystal Leg Shafts come from the Glassweb Spiders that are all around the camp, be warned though, drop rate can be a real pain. After you have 20 of those, head to Dustwallow Marsh, to the crashed Zeplin there and locate the Overdue Package. Finall, you need to head to Swamp of Sorrows, to the waters edge where all the Murlocs are. You might have seen him there before, you are looking for the named Murloc; Jarquai.

Once you have all the pieces, head to Tanaris to hand in.

Un'Goro, Felwood and Linkin's Sword Quest

Started at level 51
Finished at level 53

If you have never been to Un'Goro before, getting there is easy. From the Gadgetzan in Tanaris, you want to head South-West as if you were heading to Thistleshrub Valley. Just near there you will see two large blue / black pylons on either side of a gulley, that gulley will lead you straight to Un'Goro!

While running around in the zone, keep your eye out to pick up:
- Blood Petal Sprouts : Although the hand in will not give you XP, turning 15 of these into the Kodo at Marshal's Refuge will yield a goodies box.
- Blue, Red, Yellow and Green Power Crystals : You need 7 of each to hand in for a quest, and then varying amounts after to receive buffs if you so choose.
- Un'Goro Dirt Pile : You need to collect 20 Un'Goro soil for Ghede in Thunder Bluff

When you get to the base of the path leading down, look to your left for a Tauren that goes by the name of Torwa Pathfinder. He will give you quests, a couple of which you can do while you are close before you move on;

[53] The Fare of Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Find the carcass of Lar'korwi's freshest kill
Rewards : XP!

For this you need to find a carcass, and it's actually quite close, but you do need to head into raptor territory so be alert. By level 50 you should have no problems taking these mobs solo as they are between level's 47 - 52, just watch you don't get too many of them. I have marked out on the map where you will find the carcass as it's rather hard to explain, just kill your way inland mostly. Once you find the carcass, right click to loot and head back to Torwa.

While you are out in the Marshlands, you might as well look for the wrecked boat, this will begin the Linkin's Sword quest series which is a nice chunk of XP (around 20k or so). The boat can be a little hard to find if you don't know where it is, so I have marked it out on a map for you. After you find the boat, right click to begin the quest line!

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Look around in the pond for a clue about who this wrecked raft may belong to.
Rewards : XP!

Once you have found the boat and got the quest, stick your head under the water to find the 'clue'. It's a loot-able bag that will give you and item to open. When you open the item you will receive a Large Compass, a Curled Map Parchment and a Lion-headed Key.

[53] The Scent of Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Collect 2 Ravasaur Pheromone Glands
Rewards : XP!

After you hand in the carcass, the second step requires you to summon a Lar'korwi Mate, kill it and loot it's Pheromone Gland. To summon the mate, you need to locate the little piles of eggs in amongst the Ravasaur's. When you get close to and stand on the eggs, it will summon the Lar'kowri mate, kill and loot. You will need to do this twice, and once complete, head back to Torwa.

[52] Bone-Bladed Weapons
Objectives : Collect 8 White Ravasaur Claws
Rewards : Sellable Loot

While you are doing these above quests, you will end up killing the general Ravasaur's around the area, you might as well grab this quest from Orgrimmar. You need to see Jes'rimon, and he can be found in The Drag, and the very top of a building not far from the end closest to Thrall's Chamber. Locate the building that has a winding ramp up, goes up about three level's, it's on the right side if you are facing Thrall's Chamber.

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Examine the items inside the pack and bring them to their owner.
Rewards : XP!

Once you have collected and handed in the Pheromone Gland's and collected your claws, open up the pack that you got from 'the clue' and head right up the top of the zone to Marshal's Refuge and find Linken. Nice chunk of XP when you hand in (5100).

[53] Crystals of Power
Objectives : Collect 7 Power Crystals of each color: red, blue, yellow, and green.
Rewards : XP!

When you get to Marshal's Refuge and gather all your quests, be sure to head into the back of the crystal cave there and see J.D. Collie. This little gnome is the one that requires 7 of each of the colored crystals, a nice little xp jump for just collecting things.

[54] Super Sticky
Objectives : Collect 12 samples of Super Sticky Tar
Rewards : XP!

[53] The Northern Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Northern Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[53] The Eastern Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Eastern Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[51] Roll the Bones
Objectives : Collect 8 Dinosaur Bones
Rewards : +10 Stamina, +9 Agility, +9 Intellect Cloth Boots or Leather Belt

[51] Shizzle's Flyer
Objectives : Collect 8 Webbed Diemetradon Scales and 8 Webbed Pterrordax Scales
Rewards : +3 Stamina, +12 Intellect, +3 Spirit Cloth Wrist or Leather Shoulders or a Shield.

You should have the sticky tar quest from your time in Tanaris, but if you don't it comes from Gadgetzan. In Un'Goro, heading out of Marshal's refuge, you should see all the tar pits and elementals there. The tar elementals range from level 50 through to 54 but if you stick to the ones further east you should find mostly the lower ones. They are easy to pick of solo

If you were heading out Marshal's refuge and looked left, you will see there will be a large boulder you can't run over. If you go around, on the other side if you start to look up to the top of the cliffs you will come across the Northern Pylon. You need to right click and inspect the pylon to complete, and up the top there should be some Pterrordax's.

These flying dino's will drop the Scales you need for the Flyer quest as well as giving you the kill count for 'Beware of the Pterrordax' however you won't complete that just yet as the other ones you need are level 55ish. Be aware that these Pterrordax have a three second fear, but if you are Undead you can use Will of the Forsaken to break it.

Any dinosaur in the zone will drop the Dinosaur Bones, however the Pterrordax are a little tighter with theirs . Out and around the Tar pits though you should see some Diemetradon's, and they will drop the bones a lot more often. These are also needed for their scales.

From the Northern Pylon I usually kill my way to the East one, taking any Diemetradon's I pass. Be sure to continually to look around you though as there are large elite dinosaurs that will think you are very tasty. You can't miss them, they are MASSIVE, you will be lucky to reach the top of their toe nail. They have a fairly small agro range too, so moving out of their way isn't too difficult.

Once you have visited both Pylons and collected all your tar, you might as well complete the scales and bones as it won't take too long. From running around the tar pits you should have all the Diemetradon's, the Pterrordax however can be a bit trickier. Along with the five or so around the Northern Pylon, there is another pocket of them further East, almost near the Pylon on that side.

You want an area called Ironstone Plateau, and here you will find eight or so more Pterrordax, only these are lower level and don't fear. They will 'swoop' you which will knock you over and stun for a second or two, but must less risk of adds.

[50] Williden's Journal
Objectives : Return the journal to Williden Marshal
Rewards : XP!

By now you will probably have had one... or 10 Mangled Journal's Drop. The journal can be right clicked to begin a quest, which is basically handing it into Williden Marshal at Marshal's Refuge.

Now that I had done the first few quests in Un'Goro, I decided that I would do a bit of running around for the Linkin's Sword Quest line. You will need to do some killing in Felwood, so at the same time you can knock off some other quests there at the same time. Before you head off you might want to stop past Tanaris and Thunder Bluff to hand in. When you hand in at Thunderbluff, he sure to head into the large tent there to pick up the next stage.

If you are coming to Felwood for the first time you will enter at the Southern end of the zone from Ashenvale. There is a Horde outpost at Bloodvenom Falls which is along the river there, you can grab a flight path there as well as some quests.

[48] Timbermaw Ally
Objectives : Kill 5 Deadwood Warriors, 5 Pathfinders, and 5 Gardeners.
Rewards : XP!

[51] A Husband's Last Battle
Objectives : Kill Overlord Ror
Rewards : XP!

Timbermaw Ally comes from Grazle who will be standing along the path not far after you enter the zone from Ashenvale, but the one for Overlord Ror comes from Bloodvenom Post, so head up and grab that before coming back down.

The mobs you need for both quests are just in off the path at Deadwood Village. The Warriors, Gardeners and Pathfinders will be all over, and you will find Overlord Ror at the back in a large camp. If you are careful you can pull the smaller camps or two or three, as well as the wanderers. I side stepped the first large camp you come too and managed to pick off from the edges the ones at Ror's camp.

Overlord Ror is level 51 and goes down pretty easy, although he will fear and call for friends so be ready. Clearing the area around him will help lessen any adds from both effects. These are the same furbolgs that you will need to kill in order to raise your faction to pass through the caves to Winterspring. If you run back up to the path and hand in to Grazle, you can continue fighting here and collecting the feathers to hand in for further faction. You will need a minimum of 'unfriendly' to pass through to Winterspring.

[54] Well of Corruption
Objectives : Collect a sample of corrupted water from the Jadefire Satyrs' moonwell
Rewards : XP!

After you have finished raising your faction and are on your way back up to hand in, stop past the Ruins of Constellas to fill the vial at the corrupted moonwell there. Getting to the ruins can be a bit tricky, but basically you fight past some oozes and wolves, eventually you start seeing some fallen pillars and the like.

Enter very carefully as there are quite a few stealthed rogue's there just waiting to jump you. The mobs are low 50's and solo, they are easy to take, just be careful you don't pull too many adds or back into another stealthed mob. You need to fight your way to the back of the camp which is through a narrow section lined with mobs. At the other end of this pathway will be the moonwell and I advise clearing around to the right and leaving the named till later as he comes with two friends.

Once filled, head back to Bloodvenom post to hand and continue up to the very north part of the zone on our way to Winterspring. You will enter Furbolg tunnels there and the mobs should con an orange color to you. They won't attack, but be very careful if you use the right mouse button to manoeuvre, you don't want to accidentally attack.

Inside the tunnels you will come to a part where it goes straight ahead, or you can loop around and head right. To start with, take the right part and it will lead you into Moonglade, there is a flight path just off to the left of the path when you enter. If you don't care about the flight path, head straight ahead and it will lead you straight to Winterspring.

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Take Linken's Sword to Donova Snowden in Winterspring.
Rewards : XP!

Now begins the first of your running, to Winterspring. Donova is located not far from the tunnels that connect Winterspring to Moonglade, as you enter Winterspring, look to your right for a small pond of water, Donova will be there. If you are near the tunnels you should see the little yellow dot on your mini map. Watch out for the wandering level 57 pack when running around here.

[52] The Videre Elixir
Objectives : Acquire a Videre Elixir
Rewards : XP!

Once have seen Donova, you need to head over to Feralas. When you land at Camp Mojache, start heading north. Just after you pass through the Twin Colossals, there will be a open area on your right, and if you look carefully, a little white tent on a rise. That is where you will find Gregan Brewspewer.

From Gregan, purchase some 'bait' and then continue North to the Ruins of Ravenwind. Closer to the main path than the harpies, you should see a white ruins with a Gnoll guarding the front, that is Miblon Snarltooth. Place the bait in front of Miblon to have him move, and thus dropping the wall behind him. Once that is done you can run in and loot. Head back to Gregan to get the Elixir, then back to Donova to hand in.

[52] Meet at the Grave
Objectives : Go to the graveyard outside Gadgetzan, and use the Videre Elixir
Rewards : XP!

From Winterspring head back to Tanaris and head to the Graveyard there (south of Gadgetzan). Drink the Elixir and don't get a fright, it is meant to kill you. Release your spirit but be very careful not to automatically click again to resurrect, you want to stay dead. As a ghost, head north to the zone wall and in the hills there you will find Gaeriyan. Speak with him then return to the graveyard and resurrect.

[52] A Grave Situation
Objectives : Resurrect, then look for the gravestone that Gaeriyan told you to find
Rewards : XP!

Once you have resurrected, there will be a large stone grave you can right click, do so.

[52] Linken's Sword
Objectives : Deliver Linken's Superior Sword to Linken in Un'Goro Crater
Rewards : XP!

Once you have clicked the grave, return to Linken and give him back his sword. The next step sends you to see J.D. Collie and she is the gnome at the very back of the cave at Marshal's Refuge.

[54] Linken's Memory
Objectives : Find Eridan Bluewind in southern Felwood
Rewards : XP!

J.D. Collie sends you back to Felwood and down to Emerald Sanctuary, the little outpost at the southern end of the zone. There you will find Eridan. Eridan will give you a quest to collect items from the North end of the zone, but let's do a couple other quests while we are here...

[51] Forces of Jaedenar
Objectives : Kill 4 Jaedenar Hounds, Guardsmen, 6 Adepts, and 6 Cultists
Rewards : XP!

After you have seen Eridan, head up to Jaedenar, there you will find the mobs you need. The Hounds are the Felhunter type mobs and go down fairly easily, the Guardians are the same being purely melee. Adepts and Cultists are both spell casters, so be careful when you pull to ensure they won't agro nearby mobs, you should be able to pull everything singularly.

Both when you enter, and when you get to the back of the camp, you will see entrance into two caves. Both caves are filled with the same mobs, however it can get a little more dangerous with multi-pulls so only use if the rest are already being killed.

[54] Corrupted Sabers
Objectives : Take Winna's kitten to the corrupted moon well, release it, then bring it back to Winna
Rewards : XP!

The Moonwell you need for this is at the Ruins of Costellas, the same moonwell you filled the vial at earlier. Again fight through to the back, and when you get there, right click the cat carrier to release the kitten. It will go for a little swim in the moonwell before following you obediently so you can return it to Winna.

When you get to Winna, you have to 'release' the cat by right clicking it first, that will turn the question mark from silver to yellow for you. Seems a little backwards to do this after Jaedenar, but as I don't know if the kitty has a time limit, I do it in that order just to be safe.

[54] Silver Heart
Objectives : Collect 11 Silvery Claws and 1 Irontree Heart
Rewards : XP!

[52] The Strength of Corruption
Objectives : Kill 12 Angerclaw Grizzlies and 12 Felpaw Ravagers
Rewards : XP!

The Claws will drop from any of the wolves and bears through out the zone, however you can complete both quests together if you head up north and kill the Grizzly's. Heading North, stop in at Irontree Woods and kill a few trees to get the heart to drop. It didn't take me very long, 5 or 6 kills only, but keep your eye out for the larger wandering tree's, at level 56 they will take a nice chunk out of you.

Once you have your heart, continue north till you start seeing the Grizzly's and Ravagers... kill away. You should get all the claws drop before you finish the killing of both types of mobs, and once you are done with both, hand in.

[52] Collection of the Corrupted Water
Objectives : Fill the canteen at the Moonwell in the center of Jaedenar
Rewards : XP!

Before I headed out of Felwood to continue with the Linkin's Sword line, I headed back to Jaedenar quickly to do this step. You fill the vial at the moonwell out in the open area near the back. The next step sends out away from the zone anyway, so I decided to head onto Tanaris to find Aquementas!

[54] Aquementas
Objectives : Summon Aquementas.
Rewards : XP!

After you have collected the claws and heart, you are sent to Tanaris to summon Aquementas. You need to head into Lost Rigger Cove and head to the other side of the enclosed area. I ran around the base where they are building the ship and out again. If you agro any mobs, you can just run them off. Once you are on the other side, look inland a bit for a circle of stones.

Use the book to summon Aquementas. Now you don't actually need to kill or even touch Aquementas (except for the fact he will be wailing on you). As soon as he is summoned he makes the totem you need, so you can just run. You can not damage Aquementas with any magical attacks, he can only be melee'd. Personally, I ran...

[54] Linken's Adventure
Objectives : Take the Silver Totem of Aquementas to Linken
Rewards : XP!

Leads to:

[56] It's Dangerous to Go Alone (Elite)
Objectives : Find and kill Blazerunner, acquire the Golden Flame.
Rewards : XP!

This is the final step, the one that will reward you with Linken's Sword and a Boomerang. It is elite and you probably won't be doing it for a couple of levels, but up until this stage the XP you earn is over 20k, a nice jump for basically just running around.

Un'Goro and Felwood

Started at level 53
Finished at level 55

Now that I was back in Un'Goro from the Linkin's Sword quest line, I decided to complete some other quests. In your running around, if you happened to pass The Undercity, head down to where they do all the testing in The Apothecarium and see Chemist Fruely.

[56] ...and a Batch of Ooze
Objectives : Collect 5 of the Pure Un'Goro Samples
Rewards : XP!

As the quest says, any ooze in Un'Goro will work for this. All of them will drop an Un'Goro Slime Sample, the tricky part is you won't know how many will net you the Pure kind until you get back to The Undercity. To be safe, collect as many as you can before heading back, I got between 10 and 15 and it worked ok.

When you get back to the Undercity, there is a small bowl with green goo in it on the table beside Fruely. Right click it to get the tested sample, and then right click the sample to see if you got a pure one. Once you have your 5 hand in, then sell the rest of the junk you get.

[52] Alien Ecology
Objectives : Use the Scraping Vial to collect a Hive Wall Sample
Rewards : XP!

To start with, I ran to the very south end of the zone. You can head straight down if you wish, but I took a little detour around the east side in a large arc for safety... and less mobs to knock me off my mount.

If you fight down the East side, you will kill through some Raptors before starting to see big green bugs and eventually enter The Slithering Scar. You are looking for the hive there and you need to kill your way just inside the entrance. As you enter the hive you will see you can go left or right, you want left, down the short tunnel into a small round room. If you clear that room and stand in the very center, you will be able to take your Hive Wall Sample.

[53] The Western Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Western Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[53] Expedition Salvation
Objectives : Collect the Crate of Foodstuffs and Research Equipment
Rewards : XP!

[55] Beware the Pterrordax
Objectives : Kill 10 Pterrordax and 15 Frenzied Pterrordax
Rewards : Sellable loot

After I collected my hive sample, I left the hive facing west. Mount up and make a bee line for the west wall, you will run through an area called Terror Run, and there will be level 54 and 55 mobs as well as elites, just try to run though.

Around the Western Pylon you will find the Frenzied Pterrordax's, and you should have already completed all the normal, lower level ones last time you were in the zone. Clearing the Pterrordax from around the pylon, as well as a couple around the base of the cliffs, I was already up to 7 of the 15 needed.

There are lots more Frenzied Pterrordax along the western wall heading north, in little pockets as well as flying around in the open. You should have no trouble killing the 15 needed for these. As with the lower level versions, the frenzied have a fear, although it seems to be a single target fear and hit my pet most of the time, not really effecting me at all.

Now comes the really fun part, you need to collect a box out in the middle of Terror Run. You can try to kill your way through the non elites, but personally I just soulstoned up and made a run for it. I have marked on the map where the Research Equipment is, and you are looking for a tent of sorts with a lootable box. If you mount up you can dodge most of the mobs on the way in, and if you do get agro when close, run around a bit to loose it.

When you think you are safe, run up to the box, demount and start looting. I got one mob jump me when I got off my mount, but a quick fear got rid of it long enough for me to loot the item and run out. If you do get agro, head for the water nearby, although some of the mobs can swim, they drop agro it seems as soon as you get out a bit.

Now that I had the hardest half done, time to get the other one, and for this, you need to head up near the Tar Pits. The crate of foodstuffs is very easy to get in comparison to the one you just got and you should be able to get it without any hassles at all.

[53] Chasing A-Me 01
Objectives : Find A-Me 01
Rewards : XP!

[55] The Apes of Un'Goro
Objectives : Collect 2 Un'Goro Gorilla Pelts, 2 Stomper Pelts, and 2 Thunderer Pelts
Rewards : XP!

Since I was up the north end of the zone, I started killing the Gorilla's at Fungal Rock. Before you head in though, ensure you have 1 x Mithril Casing as you will need it to get A-Me 01 going again. Once you have it, start fighting your way into the cave.

The Un'Goro Gorillas, Stompers and Thunderer's occupy the cave and the drop rate for their pelts was pretty good for me, getting one nearly every time. As you fight into the cave, you want to take the first tunnel on your right, and there at the end you should see A-Me 01 lying face first.

If you have your Mithril Casing on you, you can do the escort out straight away. It's one of the easier escorts I have done as you don't get ambushed by mobs, only the general respawn on the way out. You need to escort the Ape to the base of Marshal's Refuge, and after that I ran to Torwa (near path to Tanaris) to hand in the pelts.

[55] The Mightly U'Cha
Objectives : Retrieve U'cha's Pelt
Rewards : Sellable loot

[56] The Bait for Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Using the contents of Torwa's Pouch, summon Lar'korwi and defeat him. Retrieve his head.
Rewards : Sellable loot

After you hand in the Gorilla pelts, you need to head back to Fungal Rock to find U'cha. If you enter the cave, stick to your right and follow the path to the back where it will curve around, and eventually at the other end curve around again. U'cha is all the way at the back. Even though he was level 55 (and myself only 52) I had no trouble taking him down, utilizing the space he was in to fear quite safely.

Once he was dead I fought my way back out and towards Torwa, stopping at the Eastern Pylon on the way to summon and kill Lar'Korwi. At the back of the pylon is a rock, and if you right click the Preserved Threshadon Meat you should have on you, it will place the meat on the rock. After the meat is down, place the Pheromone Mixture on top and with in seconds you should see Lar'Korwi running at you.

Although the large dinosaur is level 56, just like U'Cha he wasn't really any trouble. I threw my DoT's on him while he was running at me and feared him. By the time fear wore off he was half dead so I replaced the DoT's and feared again... dead... easy. After I had his head, I made my way back to Torwa to hand in both.

I decided to head back to Felwood and clear up the last remaining quests I had for there. If you have made the run to Ratchet for the Corrupted Water, you can hand that in at Emerald Sanctuary when you land. For the rest of the quests though, we are heading North.

[54+] Verifying the Corruption
Objectives : Destroy 2 Entropic Beasts and 2 Entropic Horrors
Rewards : XP!

My first stop was at Shatter Scar Vale for the Beasts and Horrors. Don't worry about the elite tag as the mobs you need to kill aren't elite, only the wandering Infernals in the area which you can dodge with ease. Both the beasts and horrors look the same, yellow / green fire elementals and are all around the area.

[55] Cleansing Felwood
Objectives : Collect 15 Blood Amber
Rewards : XP!

Further north, just above Irontree Woods is a cave; Irontree Cavern. In the cave you will find the Warpwood Elementals and they will drop the Blood Amber, usually one every time. You should have no trouble pulling these singularly, even inside the cave.

When you hand this quest in, you get the option for further quests; Salve via Hunting, via Gathering or via Skinning. If you ask Maybess for a Cenarion Beacon, you will be able to loot Corrupted Soul Shards when killing certain mobs. The same beacon also allows those with the Herbalism ability to see Fel Creep. Skinners though will most likely already be collecting these as they can be skinned without the beacon. First time hand-ins for all three yield 4200 xp!

Each hand in nets you 2 x Cenarion Plant Salve. These plant salve's are used on the corrupted plants around the zone, and well worth doing as each plant you use it on will yield you 550xp! Using the salve on a Corrupted Songflower will convert it to a cleansed songflower and right clicking that will give you a buff that increases your chance for a critical strike by 5% while increasing all your stats by 15.

Finding and cleansing a corrupted wildblosson will reward you with a few Wildblossom Berries that heal 1933 health over 27 sec and increases your Stamina by 10 for 10 minutes. If you manage to find a Corrupted Whipper Root you will receive an item that restores 700 to 900 health, while a Corrupted Night Dragon will result in an item that restores 394 to 456 mana and 394 to 456 health. Please note the last two are usually a little more rare than the first...

[55] Deadwood of the North
Objectives : Kill 5 Deadwood Den Watchers, 5 Avengers, and 5 Shamans.
Rewards : XP

If you run to the very north end of the main path, you will find Nafien and this furbolg will give you the quest to go and kill the Deadwood at Felpaw Village. The only difficulty really with this quest, is sometimes finding the mobs. These are the higher level furbolgs to the ones you killed last time, and like their lower level friends, they are also killed to raise Timbermaw faction, a faction a lot of people go after.

If there are people there just ask to join up for the quest killing, or come back later. The Shaman's will be the toughest mobs to kill as they nuke, but a cast of Curse of Tongues will help solve that pretty quick.

[55] Deadwood Ritual Totem
Objectives : Take the Deadwood Ritual Totem inside Timbermaw Hold and see if one of the furbolgs there will find a use for the item
Rewards : XP!

While killing the furbolgs, you may see a Deadwood Ritual Totem drop, this item begins the quest. The tricky part though, is you need to be at least neutral faction with the furbolg to hand in. If you do raise your faction high enough, you need to find Kernda inside the tunnels that join Felwood to Winterspring.

[55] Dousing the Flames of Protection
Objectives : Douse the flames of the four braziers of protection
Rewards : XP!

If, last time you were in Felwood, you collected the water sample from the moonwell for the Collection of the Corrupted Water quest, you would have done the running around the barrens etc. After all of that, you need to head into Shadow Hold which is the back cave at Jaedenar.

If you head into the cave, the first main area you come to will have the brazier of pain, and just a little further in, the brazier of Hatred. Watch out for the Legionnare's as they have a knockback effect which can not only interrupt your spells, but knock you into adds.

The tunnel is fairly easy to navigate, there's only one real way to go. Continue down the main path and eventually you will come into a large open room which has both the Suffering and Malice braziers. Once you have got those, head back out to hand in and get the next step.

[55] A Strange Red Key
Objectives : Search through Jaedenar to discover what the Blood Red Key is used for
Rewards : XP!

While fighting in the cave, you may see a Blood Red Key drop, this is to free Captured Arko'narin who is inside the cage where the brazier of pain is. Handing in the key eventually leads to an escort quest in which you escort Arko'narin down to where the last two brazier's are and then back up. It is up to you if you choose to do this, but even if you don't, handing in the key alone nets you over 5k xp!

[58] A Final Blow
Objectives : Kill Moora and Salia, and retrieve Shadow Lord Fel'dan's Head
Rewards : +10 Intellect, +10 Spirit, +9 Agility Cloth Belt

After you have doused all the flames and handed in, the next step requires you to head back into Shadow Hold, only this time further in. If you head back down to where the last two braziers are, you should see a small water area there with oozes. Fight through the oozes and up the other side, continueing down the tunnels where you will enter a large room with lots of mobs.

The first mob you will most likely encounter in this room is Rakaiah who you will need to kill if you decided to do the escort quest. Either way, you need to clear this entire room to continue on, and most of the mobs seem to come singularly even though they are so close.

Once you have cleared that room, continue fighting down the tunnels where you will come to a round-ish room that leads you left or over a bridge... go left. Eventually you will come to a larger room and be facing the three mobs you need. Clear all around this room before engaging the trio as you may need the space to fear.

I focused on the two Succubi first as they were lower level, and then honed in on Shadow Lord Fel'dan. It's handy to ensure you are soulstoned here as you can have a bit of trouble, but if you are prepared, and don't get any adds, you should have little trouble slaughtering them. Once done, head back up and hand in!

The following two quests are the start of An Imp's Request, the level 50 Warlock only quest. It is completely up to you if you start it now, but these two steps net you about 10k xp... so worth it.

[52] Hot and Itchy
Objectives : Bring a piece of felcloth to Impsy
Rewards : XP!

[52] The Wrong Stuff
Objectives : Collect 10 Rotting Wood and 4 Bloodvenom Essence
Rewards : XP!

For the piece of felcloth, you can just head up to Jadefire Run, it should drop relatively quickly. The Rotting Wood are from the Ironwood Tree's and the Essence from the slime right near Impsy. Overall I had a pretty good drop rate and it was nice and easy xp. The next step requires you to retrieve items from Sunken Temple. If you did decide to do these, you can combine 'The Wrong Stuff' with the ooze quest from The Undercity;

[52] A Sample of Slime
Objectives : Collect 5 of the Corrupted Felwood Samples
Rewards : XP!

Just like in Un'goro, any slime will do. And just like before, you need to collect samples before testing them back in The Undercity, only this time you want the small bowl full of orange goo. I had a lot better conversion rate with this one, only taking 6 samples to get the 5 pure.

[55] Melding of Influences
Objectives : Bring a Merged Ooze Sample to Chemist Fuely
Rewards : XP!

After you have completed the Un'goro and Felwood slime samples, you are given the next step which takes you back to Un'Goro to ...um ... mate oozes. As much of a pain as it is to run all the way back to Un'Goro, the 7000 xp I got at level 54 makes it totally worth it.

You need to find a Primal Ooze, these are the browny colored ones. When you get close to one, right click the barrel to release the Felwood Ooze and then kill the result. Return to Chemist Fuely to complete. Done.

Azshara and Burning Steppes

Started at level 55
Finished at level 56

Wanting to delay my travels in the Plaguelands, I decided to check out Azshara, and although I was probably a tad high for most mobs, it made for quick and easy killing. Before you head out there though, run and see Belgrom Rockmaul outside the Hall of the Brave in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar. He will give you a quest that sends you to Azshara, as will Chemist Cruely in The Apothecarium in The Undercity.

If this is your first trip to Azshara, take a flight from Orgrimmar to Splintertree Post in Ashenvale. From there you will run east where you will eventually cross a small bridge and end up in Azshara. Just in on the right you should see a small camp of sorts, this is the Alliance Flight Path / Outpost, but there is a Tauren named Loh'atu there that will give you two quests.

[47] A Land Filled with Hatred
Objectives : Kill 6 Haldarr Satyr, 2 Tricksters, and 2 Felsworn
Rewards : XP!

[47] Spiritual Unrest
Objectives : Kill 6 Highborne Apparitions and 6 Highborne Lichlings
Rewards : XP!

Just across the path from Talrendis Point, the Alliance outpost, you will find Shadowsong Shrine and the Highborne you need to kill. They are scattered all over the area from basically the river across to Haldarr Encampment, which is the camp you need for the Satyr's. Both quests are quick and easy, and although slightly lower level, still net you some ok XP.

After you have done those two, time to move onto the Horde Outpost to pick up another quest and our flight path. I have marked it out on the map, and basically any route in land will take you to it. You will have to run past mobs however.

[52] Stealing Knowledge
Objectives : Find the Tablets of Beth'Amara, Jin'yael, Markri, and Sael'hai
Rewards : XP!

If you make your way back to the main path and continue along, you will eventually come to the Ruins of Eldarath. When you see the path fork, you want to take the right one that leads down and around, the straight ahead route is a dead end. The tablets are scattered all over the ruins, usually in multiple places at once so keep your eyes open. You are looking for:

Sael'hai is a large yellow crystal
Jin'yael is small and light blue
Beth'Amara is a bight pink and
Markri is green

[52] Seeping Corruption
Objectives : Fill all 4 Empty Vials
Rewards : XP!

Chemist Cruely would have given you a box, that if you open, will contain four empty Vials. You need to fill one at each of the pools that are along the coast. They are right along the water's edge, and fairly easy to spot. Kill your way through the Naga and fill Vial 1 at Pool 1, 2 at 2, so on and so forth. Pools 2, 3 and 4 are actually all near each other.

[53] Betrayed
Objectives : Kill 10 Blood Elf Reclaimers, and 10 Blood Elf Surveyors before seeking out Magus Rimtori's camp.
Rewards : XP!

[53] Kim'jael Indeed!
Objectives : Search for Kim'jael's Compass, Scope, Stuffed Chicken and Wizzlegoober
Rewards : XP!

Both of these can be done in the same area. If you head around to the North part of the zone, you should be able to find Thalassian Base Camp relatively easily. Before you start killing though, head to the top of the hill not far from it to find Kim'Jael. You can access the top via the North side of the kill, and Kim'Jael is the Goblin at the top.

Once you have both quests you can head in. The Reclaimers and Surveyors are all around and you should have no trouble with the kill count. Once done, you want to head to the cliff edge where you will find a Kaldorei Tome of Summoning. Once you have completed your kill count, this Tome will complete your quest for you.

[56] Betrayed
Objectives : Destroy the arcane focusing crystal tied to Magus Rimtori and then slay her
Rewards : XP!

The Tome gives you the following step in which you need to attack one of the three crystals around the edges, doesn't matter which one. When you have destroyed it, a Blood Elf guard will spawn, and once he is near death, Magus Rumtori will follow.

A fairly easy fight, she will ice root you at one point, but DoT's make pretty short work of her. Once dead, loot her head and you're done. If you have collected the items needed for Kim'jael, found inside crates all around the camp, return to the top of the hill to hand that in, and then head back to Valormok.

[52] Delivery to Archmage Xylem
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Sael'hai to Archmage Xylem in Azshara
Rewards : XP!

[52] Delivery to Jes'rimon
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Jin'yael to Jes'rimon in Orgrimmar
Rewards : XP!

[52] Delivery to Magatha
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Beth'Amara to Magatha in Thunder Bluff
Rewards : XP!

[52] Delivery to Andron Gant
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Markri to Andron Gant in Undercity
Rewards : XP!

After you turn in the four tablets to Jediga, you are asked to make four deliveries. Before you hearth off, run along the base of the cliffs and not far along you will come across Sanath Lim-yo, an Elf that will teleport you up to the top of the cliffs. From there you will see a path leading further up, eventually to a tower. At the top of the tower you will find the Archmage Xylem.

Jes'rimon can be found in The Drag in Orgrimmar, this is the same guy you got the white claws for in Un'Goro. Magatha is on the Elder Rise in Thunderbluff while Androm Grant is in The Apothecarium in The Undercity. At 54 I got 2550xp for delivering the tablets and 3100 for each letter they give you to take back to Jediga, not bad.

[53] Kim'jaei's 'Missing' Equipment
Objectives : Find Some Rune
Rewards : XP!

After I had returned to Jediga, I made my way back up to the Ruins of Eldarath to look for the Rune. You need to be killing the Spitelash Siren's, Myrmidon's, Enchantress' and Battlemaster's. I got my rune off a Siren, and they are said to have the higher drop rate. Note that the Spitelash Guard's will not drop it for you.

Once you have it, hand it into Kim'jaei. That's it, Azshara done!

Burning Steppes doesn't really have a lot of quests, most of them sending you into Blackrock Depths and Spire, but it's a quick zone to get out of the way.

If you haven't been there before, it can be a bit confusing. You want to head to Thorium Point in Searing Gorge and then run South. If you run straight south from Thorium Point you should be able to see a path leading up into the mountains, and if you follow that you will see large double doors.

You need to head through those doors, into Blackrock Mountain and then follow the path around. When you come to the main open area, turn left and follow the path around, under the chain and then go through the second opening, basically opposite where you came in. Don't go through the first, lots of elites.

If you go through the second, you should come out in Burning Steppes, so follow the ramp down to the path, take it to your left and follow it along. Eventually it will fork off, you want to take the left again and then head across country when it ends. You are looking for Flame Crest (see map).

[52] Dreadmaul Rock
Objectives : Find out what became of Sha'ni Proudtusk
Rewards : XP!

You pick this quest up from Badlands, and once you are at Flame Crest, you want to head off to the left to Dreadmaul Rock. You will see the big red ogre's, and hopefully the path that leads to the top of the mountain there. At the very top, in front of the small cave there you will find Sha'ni's remains, and if you right click them, her ghost will appear for you to complete the quest.

[53] Krom'Grul
Objectives : Recover Sha'ni's Nose-Ring from Krom'Grul
Rewards : +10 Stamina, +6 Spirit Ring

After you speak to Sha'ni's ghost, she will ask you to recover her ring. It drops from Krom'Grul and he can spawn in multiple locations. The first place to check is the large cave on the ground level, usually in the back room. If he's not in there, he may be in the small cave up the top or around the back of the mountain, make good use of your eye.

The ring is handed back in at Kargath so hold onto it for now.

[54] Rise of the Machines
Objectives : Collect 10 Fractured Elemental Shards
Rewards : XP!

The shards drop from the War Reavers scattered around the Ruins of Thaurissan. Drop rate is on the good side which is great because these can be a real pain. They have a knockback effect which, if you get multiple reavers on you, makes it almost impossible to get off non-instant spells. I killed these as I came across them while doing other quests.

[50] Tablet of the Seven
Objectives : Find the tablet, copy its text
Rewards : XP!

In amongst the Ruins of Thaurissan will be a statue, and at the base of the statue, the tablet you need. You may have to kill a few dwarves to get into it.

[52] Broodling Essence
Objectives : Collect 8 Broodling Essence
Rewards : XP!

This is the fun quest... The mobs you need are in the west part of the zone, the dragon whelp broodlings. Unfortunately they are amongst roaming elites, but they are slow and you can keep our of their way. The tricky part though, is you need to use the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 on them before you start attacking as any hit from them interrupts the casting. The hard part is you also need to be directly on top of them in order to cast it.

I used my Succubus for it, sent her in to get agro while I used the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900, and then once it landed pulled agro back. If the broodling dies while the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 is still active, it will spawn a crystal, which when looted will give you the essence. Just keep your eyes peeled for the elites...

That's pretty much it, the rest of the quests send you into the Blackrock Mountain instances. Head back to Kargath to hand in, and when you hand in Rise of the Machines, the second step sends you out to Lotwil, he's the guy out near the rock elementals.

Western Plaguelands

Started at level 56
Finished at level 57

To get to Western Plaguelands, you simply have to run to the eastern end of Tirisfal Glades. You will see an encampment on the borders edge, and before you go starting any quests, be sure to see Argent Officer Garush. He will give you an Argent Dawn Commission which is a Trinket you will want to wear while fighting in either of the Plaguelands.

When you kill mobs wearing this trinket, they have a chance to drop scourgestones which you can hand in for Argent Dawn Faction. There are three types of scourgestones : Minion's Scourgestone's which drop off the lower level mobs (51-55 ish), Invader's Scourgestone's which drop off the mid level mobs (55-58 ish), and Corruptor's Scourgestone's which drop off level 59+ mobs.

Up until 'honored' you will gain Argent Dawn faction from simply killing the non elite mobs in the Plaguelands, Scholomance, and Stratholme, so a lot of people will advice to hold onto the scourgestones until honored before starting to hand them in. Thankfully they stack up to 100! (Elite mobs give you faction until you reach Revered status. Named Elite mobs always give you faction.)

Ok, so once you have your Argent Dawn Commission, throw it on and lets get to questing!

[53] Scarlet Diversions
Objectives : Destroy the command tent and place the Scourge banner at the Scarlet Crusade's base camp
Rewards : XP!

When you start in Western Plaguelands, you will do a bit of running back and forth between camps in the zone and the Bulwark, this is the first. Just between Felstone Field (first farm) and Dalson's Tears (second) you will find the Scarlet Crusade's base camp. Before you go running in though, ensure you have collected the 'Flame in a Bottle' from the crate at the quest givers feet!

When you are ready, make your way into the camp and start clearing. A little word of advice : clear all around the camp before heading in. The Invokers will be the hardest if you get multiple of as their nukes bring you and pet down extremely quickly, and of course Medics are a pain, they heal. the Hunter's are ok, but as they send the pet in and stand back, they can agro nearby mobs.

Once you are ready, and the camp is clear, go and right click on the tent there to burn it, and once you have done that you can right click the banner in your inventory to plant it. Head back and hand in. Once you have handed in, you will be sent to Shadow Priestess Vandis who is on the other side of the path.

[53] Target : Felstone Field
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at Felstone Field and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

[52] Better Late Than Never
Objectives : The ramblings of the ghostly woman indicated that she needed a package delivered
Rewards : XP!

The first of the Cauldron quests is oddly enough, at the first field on your left as you pass through W.Plaguelands. You should have no troubles at all with this field as the mobs are low 50's and easily single pulled. If you fight close to the big cauldron in the middle, eventually Cauldron Lord Bilemaw will spawn, he is who you need to kill. When he's dead he will drop a key that will now allow you to open up the Cauldron and collect a sample. Complete the quest at the cauldron and be sure to right click again to get the quest that sends you back to Vandis.

Before you go running off though, head to the top back room of the farm house on the edge of the farm. You will need to clear your way up, and if you play with sound on, will probably hear a female voice calling out for help. Upstairs you will find a ghost of Janice Felstone who will mention something about a package she needs delivered.

The package she is talking about is inside the barn next to the house and after right clicking it, you will need to head to the Undercity. Once there, speak with a census officer located near guild and tabard registration, who will then direct you to Jeremiah Felstone just near there. Jeremiah gives you half of a good luck charm which you are to return to Janice so make your way back to Felstone Field, stopping past The Bulwark to hand in the cauldron quest and collect the next one.

[54] Two Halves Become One
Objectives : Locate the other half of the Good Luck Charm somewhere on the Felstone Farm
Rewards : +13 Shadow Resistance Necklace

On your way back into W.Plaguelands, stop off again at Felstone Field and return the half-charm to Janice. Now you need to find the other half of the charm, this drops from a Jabbering Ghoul who spawns outside in the field, not far from the Scarlet pack. If he's not up, hang around as the Scarlet mobs like to attack and kill him. When he spawns, kill and loot the other half of the charm, right click either part to make it complete and then give it to Janice.

[55] Target: Dalson's Tears
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at Dalson's Tears and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

[55] Mrs. Dalson's Diary
Objectives : Locate the contents inside the Dalson Cabinet
Rewards : XP!

The second cauldron quest is just like the first, fight close to the cauldron until Cauldron Lord Malvinious spawns, loot the key and then see the cauldron to complete the quest and complete the second stage. Although the mobs at Dalson's Tears will also be green, don't become too lax as these can still kill you if you're not paying attention. Some of the mobs spawn worms when they die, that if you don't attend to quickly, will soon munch away your health. Other's lower your stamina while another lot again will give you a disease that can really hurt!

Once you are done at the cauldron, you want to fight inside the barn to locate a diary lying on the barn floor. Getting in here can be a little trickier than the last camp as the Scarlet like to wander directly in front of the entrance. I actually came in from behind the barn and hugged the wall to the entrance. Once inside, right click the book to get the 'completed' message. Note : No quest enters your log for this series, no idea why.

Once you have seen the diary, head outside to behind the barn and farmhouse till you see a Wandering Skeleton. Again he may not be up straight away so hang around and kill to you see him. If you have seen the diary, when you kill him he will drop a Dalson Outhouse Key, you use this key on the outhouse there. When you use the key, Farmer Dalson will spawn and attack you, kill him.

Farmer Dalson will also drop a key, a Dalson Cabinet Key. The Cabinet you are looking for is in the top back room of the farmhouse there, and when you open the cabinet you will get the XP (only xp for this quest it seems) as well as a couple of green items. Once done, head back to the Bulwark to hand in the Cauldron quest.

[55] Target: Writhing Haunt
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at the Writhing Haunt and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

[55] The Wildlife Suffers Too
Objectives : Kill 8 Diseased Wolves
Rewards : XP!

The third in the Cauldron series sends you to the Writhing Haunt, which is basically on the opposite side of the main path to Dalson's Tears. The mobs here start raising in level a bit, and the 'freezing ghouls' can cause a bit of trouble if you have multiple mobs on you as they will do just what their name says... freeze you. Once you see Cauldron Lord Razarch, kill, loot and speak to the Cauldon.

Now, just to be tricky, this farm has two houses. If you stand in between the two houses facing the cauldron, you want the house that will be on your left. Inside will be Mulgris Deepriver, a Tauren face down on the floor. She will ask you to kill the diseased wolves which can be found all over. You will find some just north of the Writhing Haunt, but if you are having trouble, head to the cliff area just above Dalson's Tears. I have marked the spots I found the most wolves with 'W' on the map.

[56] The Wildlife Suffers Too (Part 2)
Objectives : Kill 8 Diseased Grizzlies
Rewards : XP!

After you have killed the wolves, you need to head back to Mulgris to hand in, and this time she will ask you kill the Grizzlies. These are much easier to find, located just behind the Writhing Haunt up to the path and just on the other side. I have marked them out as 'G' on the map.

After you have killed the bears and handed in to Mulgris again, the next step sends you to Thunder Bluff. A simple hand in, you need to head to the Elder Rise. The result is a 36 Armor, +6 Agility, +6 Intellect, +6 Spirit, +7 Stamina Cloak.

[58] Target: Gahrron's Withering
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at Gahrron's Withering and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

The fourth and final cauldron you have to complete, these mobs are a step higher again, but overall I had little trouble, just take your time.

When you have completed all four cauldron quests, and handed in the final one to Shadow Priestess Vandis, head over to High Executor Derrington. He has a simple two click quest that will not only net you around 9300xp for doing nothing, but you get to choose between a +11 Stamina Sword, or a +11 Intellect Sword. No matter which sword you choose, you will receive a +12 Stamina, +5 Spirit neck item. Not bad for walking about 5 feet!

Also, after completing all four cauldron quests, you can do further xp / faction quests at each farm. If you see Apothecary Dithers at the Bulwark, she will give you a Vitreous Focuser, this will allow you to collect Osseous Agitators, Somatic Intensifiers, and Ectoplasmic Resonators. These items, along with Runecloth and an Arcane Quickener which Apothecary Dithers also sells, will allow you to use the cauldrons for a little extra XP as well as faction.

Felstone Field
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 6 x Osseous Agitators

Dalson's Tears
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 5 x Somatic Intensifiers

Writhing Haunt
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 5 x Somatic Intensifiers

Gahrron's Withering
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 4 x Ectoplasmic Resonators

Just like the scourgestones, these drop off varying level mobs. The Osseous Agitators' drop from your lower level mobs, the Ectoplasmic Resonators from the higher, and the Somatic Intensifiers from everything in between. These stack up to 20 and I usually don't worry about handing them in till either the end of a run or when I am running out of inventory room. The Arcane Quickener's don't stack, so you can't carry too many of these on you at one time.

Each hand in at the cauldron's will net you around 500 or so xp each time, as well as varying amounts of Argent Dawn faction, the higher cauldron's obviously giving more.

Level 19 Rogue Twink Guide

2007-03-31T06:31:00.000-07:00

I now own a 100% officialy completed twink rogue on Tarren Mill. I thought id make a rogue twink guide to see what everyone thinks of it.

The equipment and tactics that i use with my character may not adhere to what you think is the best but basically you are wrong lol.

My latest twink is the 3rd rogue twink that i have made, i have perfected his equipment (no expense spared) and have gained approximately 6 months of BG experience with it.

Equipment:

Head - Lucky Fishing Hat (with +100hp libram enchant)
To get this headpiece you must have 125 fishing skill, and 150 engineering if you want to make your own Aquadynamic Fish Attractor to increase your fishing by 100. Every sunday from 14:00-16:00 game time there is a fishing tournament in stranglethorn vale, during this time you can fish in sparkling pools all accross the coast of STV. You are trying to catch a lucky fish called Keefer's Angelfish, hand this in to Fishbot 5000 to receive a the hat.

Neck - Sentinal's Medallion
To get this item you must be honoured with Silverwing Sentinals, you do this by getting flag captures and winning WSG. When you are honoured travel to the alliance entrance to WSG in ashenvale. You can buy this item there.

Shoulders - Talbar Mantle
This is most probably one of the lesser know twink items, you get it by killing all bosses in Wailing Caverns and then doing the quest line the druid gives you at the entrance. I recomend the extra 30 health over the extra 40 armor.

Back - Sentry Cloak (with +70 armor)
This item is a world drop and can be bought from the Auction House.

Chest - Blackened Defias Armor (with +100hp enchant)
This is a rare drop from Van Cleef , the last boss in Deadmines.

Shirt - ???
Any shirt can be worn if you desire, there are no stats it is only for decoration, i advise a black shirt to go with the chest armor.

Tabard - ???
Any tabard is worthy, i personaly use my guild tabarb but privates tabard is just as good. Again, there are no stats.

Wrist - Forest Leather Bracers (with +9 stamina enchant)
This is a drop from low lvl areas and is the most widely used twink bracers, do not be put of because they are green, with the enchant they are the best you can get.

Hands - Scouting Gloves of the Monkey (with +15 agi enchant)
These are the best twink gloves bacuse of the 4/4 stats on them, some may argue that the 'Red Whelp Gloves' are better because they have a 20 dmg procc on them, hey are wrong because they have no stats and are therefore a risky item.

Legs: Leggings of the Fang (with +100hp libram enchant)
These legs are a rare drop from a boss in Wailing Caverns called Lord Cobrahn.

Feet: Feet of the Lynx (with +7 stamina enchant/speed enchant)
This item is a world drop and can be bought from the auction house.

Finger: Seal of Wrynn
This ring is a reward from a long quest line starting with 'The People's Malitia' in westfall keep.

Finger: Protectors Band
To get this item you must be honoured with Silverwing Sentinals, you do this by getting flag captures and winning WSG. When you are honoured travel to the alliance entrance to WSG in ashenvale. You can buy this item there.

Trinket: Insignia of the Alliance
This can be bought from SI7 in stormwind when you are ranked corporal, you get this rank by getting honor from WSG.

Trinket: Arena Grand Master
This is by far the least known and the most difficult twink item to get, you must get 12 'Arena Master' trinkets from the chest in the gurubashi arena. These chests only drop every 3 hours at 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, 21:00. There will be ther loot within these chest aswell to boost money. When you have all 12 of these talk to the goblin in the arena and hand in the quest. If you are going to get these chests solo the best times are at 06:00 and 09:00 in the morning. If you cannot get there at these time i would greately advise getting a few lvl 60's to help you.

Main Hand: Shadowfang (with Crusader enchant)
This weapon is by far the best twink weapon, do not listen to people that say that the Cruel Barbs attack power is better than shadowfangs extra 2 dps and 30 dmg procc. This is a drop from SFK from a guard with a rare spawn chance and an even rarer chance of it dropping. I think the drop rate is around 0.01%. It is alot easier to buy from AH or spam the trade channel.

Off Hand: Cruel Barb (with +15 agi enchant)
This is a rare drop from Van Cleef the last boss in Deadmines.

Stealthed Main Hand: Assasin's Blade (with +15 strength)
If you can, i advise downloading the Item Rack addon or creating a macro to equip this weapon when yu are stealthed so that you can ambush players. After you use the attack the addon will change your main hand weapon back to shadowfang. This weapon is a world drop and has an extremely low drop rate, you should therefore keep an eye out in AH and spam the trade channels.

Ranged: Venomstrike / Little Timmy'sl Peashooter (with +3 scope)
Venomstrike is a bow with 9dps and a 30+ dmg procc, it used to be 11dps with no procc but it got nerfed in patch 1.12. Little timmy's peashooter still has the 11dp with no procc, either of these weapons is a good choice, i use the venomstrik out of habbit which crits at around 180 dmg and can do 80 dmg with procc crit. This is an extremely usefull tool for if you are too far behind a runner or if you have been stunned to one place. It is a good feeling when you fight another rogue twink and they sprint off because they know they will lose, then you crit hit them with your bow and they die.

Ammo: Feathered Arrows / Sharp Arrows
Sharp arrows are a simple ammo for your lvl and add an extra 2dps to your weapon. They can be bought from any bowyer vendor. Feathered arrows however are not so simple, they are a reward from a quest in desolace. From this reward you can receive either feathered arrows for your bow or exploding shots for a gun like lil timmy's peashooter. Both of these sets of ammo add 9 dps to your weapon. The quest is lvl 30 and will not be able to be done by your twink, luckily these have no required lvl and are not BOP, they can be sent to your twink by mail or over the trade channel. They can also be sold in AH. The problem with these 2 set of ammo is the reward only gives out 200 and the quest in unique. Therefore you can only do it once with your main, if you want more arrows you will have to get help.

Equipment Enchants:
I will take a brief moment to explain my choices of enchant on both equipment and weapons. As you can see i have many stamina enchants and only a few agility. This is because my way of fighting in BG is to attack groups of 2-5 MOB's at once, therefore needing alot of hp to outlast them. If a rogue is primarily agility based then he will hit larger damage but will die extremely fast and may only be able to take on 3 MOB's. Saying this, you must even them out a reasonable bit that is why you should use agility on offhand weapon and gloves. The ibram enchants are quite hard to come by and both +100hp and +8 agility are reasonable.

Now for my favorite bit.....

Weapon Enchants!
Many would say that duel agility is the better setup for max dmg, this is perfect for when fighting fewer mobs, not great for fighting many. Using duel lifestealing is reasonable aswell but you will lack high end damage and the procc on lifestealing is only 30 hp, when your twink has over 1300 like mine does, 30hp is measley. Lifestealing and agility is a reasonable setup aswell and is very popular, however it still has lesser damage and a measley procc, but it is better than duel lifestealing or duel agility.
+5 damage is a waste of matts, ill leave it at that. Fiery weapon and icy chill are enchants for poor twinks that cant afford the higher end enchants. Now we come to a part which confuses most people. I have always argued that crusader on main hand is useless, mainly because the 15 sec +100 strength procc is wasted because a twinks fight only usualy lasts 2 seconds. However because of the setup of my twink and the fact that i do always fight approx 4 MOB's at a time, the 15 sec procc comes in usefull. This enchant is better than lifestealing because it heals 75-125 instead of 30, and the 100 strength far outweighs the +15 agility extra damage. However, you must take into account the times when crusader does not procc and the loss of damage done if you used duel crusader with no procc. I have come to the conclusion that crusader on main hand (proccs alot when used with sinister strike) and agility off hand is the way to go. Alot of high end twinks at lvl 60 use this setup and it has prooven extremely effective.

Talent Setup:
As you know at lvl 19 you only get 10 talent points to play with, i will say a little about each type of setup you might like.

Max Combat dps:
2/2 Improved Sinister Strike
3/3 Improved Backstab
5/5 Malice (Crit chance)

Multiple MOB's:
2/2 Improved Sinister Strike
3/3 Improved Gauge
5/5 Lightning Reflexes

Instant Max Damage:
3/3 Improved Backstab
2/2 Malice (Crit chance)
5/5 Opportunity

My Personal Hybrid:
2/2 Improved Sinister Strike
3/3 Improved Gauge
5/5 Opportunity

Extra Items:

Dynamite: Can be used as an initial attack if you are a sword rogue and have no stealth specific attacks.

Bombs: Used specificaly to stop flag runners or in the case of a rogue if they are rooted or frozen to the spot and cannot move, it is usefull so that u can stun the enemy for a few seconds while the stun used on you wears off.

Bandages: All good twinks will have a huge supply of heavy runecloth bandages because they can heal evern the best twinks hp in around 5-6 seconds. You should also consider having these set up with a macro so that with a press of a button you are automaticaly being healed.

Healing Potions: The best potions for our lvl will heal around 300 hp, they are quite helpful when you have only 1-2 MOB's left to kill and you are running low on hp.

Minor Recombobulator: Used to remove a polymorph effect from a friendly target, i.e if you see another twink that is sheeped and they cannot use thier insignia you use this item to help them out.

Swiftness Potions: By far the most usefull potion for twinks, it takes a bit of experience to know when to use them. Do not use them lightly because they cost a good 50s to make. If you are being attacked by hunters / warriors / shamans who of which all have slowing abilities, i personaly think that if they have a good hold on you and that they are any good that you will most probably just need to die. However if you feel you need to escape (you are carrying the flag) or you realy dont want to die, use the pot just before the stuns wear off so that u get a good few yards away before they have a chance to slow you again. I would also advise puting evasion on for this aswell because with the new patch with evasion you gain 50% dodge chance against ranged atacks aswell.

Thistle Tea: This item isn't that important at lvl 19 but has its uses, some of which i will go into detail about later in the tactics and combos section.

Sharpening Stones: At lvl 140 blacksmithing you can make Heavy Sharpening Stones extremely easily, when used on your weapons they add +4 dmg to every hit you do. They can be used on all of your weapons and lasts 30 mins.

Insignia of the Alliance: You must have a quick link to this on your screen, used mostly to rid yourself of fear, should not be used to get out of sheep if possible because sheepactualy heals you and can be ironicaly useful sometimes

Magic Dust: Use on an enemy to send to sleep for 30 sec...dmg breaks this effect.

Potions and elixir: These include elixir of minor fortitude, agility, strength and maybe a trolls blood potion.

Food: Food that adds 6 stamina and spirit when well fed should be used such as curiously tasty omelete.

Rumsey Rum Black Label: My favorite pot, its a drink that increases your stamina by 15 (150 hp), it can be stacked with minor fortitude and the food.

Buffs
After you queue up for a BG it's a good idea to go to the trade part of the city that you are in, try to search for a high lvl priest and ask for +20 stamina....if they are good they will have the improved spell which gives 26 stamina instead. Also search for a lvl 30ish+ druid to give you MOTW rank 3 which has +4 to all attributes and some +armor. When you enter the BG look for palas and locks, from palas you want an armor buff, blessing of might (attack power) and from locks you want to be in thier group so that you receive the blood pact buff. You may want some magic resistance buffs but that is a judgement call for you. These buffs are lost after death so make sure you arent the main target of fire.

Macros and Addons:

Item Rack: This programme allows you to create item sets and equip them at a touch of a button. I personally use this to change my main hand weapon (Shadowfang) to (assasin's blade dagger) when i stealth, this allows me to do an ambush. This programme will re-equip shadowfang after you break stalth. I also use this programme to change my boots from feet of the lynx with a +7 stamina enchant, to my fet of the lynx with a minor speed increase. I use 2 seperate keys to do this.

BGSwitch: This addon when activated allows you to roam other screens on your computer while you are queued for a BG. When you are called up for a BG the addon switches your screen to WoW for you to accept the invite.

EnergyWatch: This has contantly repeating ar that shows you when your energy bar is going to tick over.

StunWatch: This programme shows the duration of all stuns on you or your targeted enemy, including previously targeted enemies i.e (when you sap someone a bar comes up to show duration while you kill other mobs).

SpellAlert: This programme gives a warning in the middle of the screen when spells are being cast against you.

Tactics
Depending on what attitude you have toward BG you will play different ways. If you want a quick win then i would advise leaving the main group at mid-field and you stealthing up to thier flag, hopefully there will be no MOB's there. Firstly let your team know which way you will be taking the flag so that they can support you while you are running. If you want to farm honor kills i advise keeping all your best players under thier GY and keeping the healers a few paces behind. If the horde stand off and stay at thier GY, send 2 good players to sneak up them from behind. This will force most of them to jump down where you can begin to farm.

FYI a rogue is primarily a malee class, so you must try to be as close to your enemy as possible. In the case of a hunter getting a shot off first and slowing you, your best bet is to kill his pet ASAP, this will usualy distract him and cause him to stop attacking and run, which is where you own him. If however the hunter knows what he is doing and continues to shoot at you, try to use a sprint inbetween his stuns to reach him and kill him quick. Evasion is also useful here. Only use your bow as a last resort because the time it takes for you to get off a shaot, you leave yourself open for atack, and greately reduces the chance of you ever catching up with him.

In the case of being attacked by a mage, you should run asap to them and attack, firstly you should gauge them bacause it will be a mages automatic reaction to freeze you to the floor and get range from you. Kill these as soon as you can. If sheeped, enjoy it, whatch as your hp bar sails up and then when it wears off....see his sail in the opposite direction

Druids are reasonably easy to kill, just kick or gauge them if they look they are casting a heal or roots. If you become rooted before getting into melee combat there isnt alot you can do apart from attacking a different MOB that is in the area. You could try shooting the druid with arrows but he will probably just change to bear form anyway.

Warlocks can be very tiresome when they fear you, forget the pet, go straight for the enemy and gauge them to stop them casting. If you see them casting a shadow speel that required a charge, kick/gauge your !@#$%^&* off. They can make life very difficult for you if you are feared and your insignia is on cooldown.

Priests are a main prority when fighting multiple MOB's, same strategy as with a lock, gauge/kick to stop casting and just get them down. Keep attacking through the shields because they will break easily under a rogue twinks attacks.

Shamans are very annoying, they will set an earthbind totem and run from you mostly...just try to escape totem range before it proccs and kill that annoying sodd!

Warriors can be a problem because they do not die as quickly as other classes. I advise killing a healer if they have one then killing the warrior obviously. They will hamstring you if they know what they are doing so just keep jumping around them so that they dont get a big direct hit on you. A good fury (2X 1 handed sword) warrior can be just as good as a rogue and a hell of alot stronger. So your best bet is to not get hit.

When fighting a rogue, your attacks will miss alot more so you must just keep digging away at it, if you are up against another rogue twink you should not use eviscerate, mostly sinister strikes and a gauge if you can get one off. A good tactic is to sprint and evasion and just keep running in circles arround them getting hits as you go.

As a last resort when losing disastrously to only one MOB (very unlikely) you can sprint away or chuck on the arena grand master shield which absorbs 750-1250 dmg. With all my buffs i can get up to 1900hp and with this trinket it gives me 3000hp survivability. This should be more than enough to take on 1 twink and should be enough to take on 2. During a fight you can gauge and heal with a bandage also and use a healing pot aswell.

When fighting multiple MOB's always attack the healers first, then hunters,mages and locks. Leave the malee classes till last because they can be less annoying that the casters, plus if you are going to die you will already have 2-4 kills under your belt.

When running out of the tunnel at th beggining, stealth a little earlier that the others so that you get a look at how the first battle will pan out. Unless you have a healer with you i would advise taking out one of the back casters before even thinking about fighting in the full group, lett the noobs deal with the noobs

OK, say you run into the flag room to pick up the flag and there are MOB's in there. For exaple a warrior, priest and rogue, firstly you use magic dust on the warrior and set evasion and sprint on....gauge the rogue and try to take down the priest ASAP, if the rogue breaks gauge before u kill priest, do....not....swicth you must stay attacking the priest. hen the priest is down kill the rogue and then the warrior.....you may get a chance to heal when the warrior is asleep and all there is is the rogue. However if for some reason all doesnt go to plan and you are left with a rogue and warrior attacking you and you about to die. Chuck on your arena grand master shield and kill them both. This example is one of the harder because you have a range of classes to kill, when the classes are more of the same then this becomes easier.

When you must fight a twink and a noob at once you should gauge or incapacitate the twink ASAP and kill the noob, then kill the twink while healing if needs be.

When fighting 2 twinks always incapacitate one of them, do not try atacking both at once.

In all honesty there could be 4 defenders of the flag and you should still win, sap one, magic dust the other, evasion and sprint kill the others and then take out the incapacitaed using shield if needed.

If you pick up the flag aways talk to your team telling them where to meet you, you should check the map and see where abouts all of you ppl are. If they are near the east side you head for them down the slope, if they are middle you head for the tunnel. However if they are west, the same side as the horde GY, you do not go over thier GY but go down the slope away from your team. This is because the horde will probably be congregating near your team attacking them near thier own GY.

A paladin is very usefull to have protecting a flag runner because of blessing of freedom and heals.

Hiding with Flag:
Horde usualy hide in the same places but i will list them all here:
* Thier roof either behind the obstruction or ontop of th loggs (which still cant reach). On the loggs is anoying because you cant atack, with either melee or range.
* Balcony behind a pillar
* In small room in flag room
* Tucked in wall near the flag post
* Behind a tree on path leading to roof
* On the slope behind a mound or tree
* In thier GY on the sunken part of ground
* Behind the saw
* Behinf the machine looking thing
* Behind the wsg portal
* Behind a box near the wsg portal
* Peak above tunnel

Alli hiding places are limited:
* Roof
* Balcony
* Small room in flag room
* Near flag post by wall
* Gy behind a tent
* Gy under the wsg portal behind a pillar
* Behind bush on way to roof
* Behind the pedestal pillars on way to roof (my fav because it hides the red smoke by the bright light of the shrine).
* Peak above tunnel

Extra Tricks:

When the horde is hiding the flag and u cant find and a team mate has thier flag in your base.....go to the horde flag room and tell your m8 to drop the flag, the horde flag returns leaving the horde open to score. When you see the horde coming to score, you pick up the flag and kil thier carrier....this saves time looking for the carrier, but do not get cocky or they will score before you pick up.

When each faction has each others flag at thier desired base, send a rogue or yourself over to thier base and camp near the flag carrier. Then tell your carrier to spam dropping and picking up flag. This might eventualy bore the horde who will begin to do the same, 'Horde: OH NO THERE WAS AN ALLI ROGUE BY ME WHEN I DROPPED OUR FLAG ' hehe The rogue quickly returns the flag and your team mate scores.

One thing that has hapened to me was the horde had the alli flag and were running into the flag room ready to score, i was stealthed ready to pick up flag befor they score, the horde runs through me, i ambsuh crit him for 547 dmg ( my crit record ) and return the flag You can then pick up thier flag and the tables have turned completely

When running with the flag and a horde s running dirctly for you, head towards him and jump straight through him, as you do this hit the gauge button, this leave the horde incapacitated for a few second and you free to run with one less horde chassing you.

Try to make pre-made raid before you queue for BG, this will make farming rep and HK alot easier and can be fun for a guild event. A rogue and priest make a good team as do,druid and rogue and rogue and rogue.

First aid guide

2007-03-31T06:30:00.000-07:00

Ahh, first Aid! One of the most least understood professions in the game....yet one of the most useful! In this guide I'll be going through the various aspects of first aid, it's uses and pretty much anything else you could possibly desire.

So enough with the smalltalk, let's get started:

First Aid Overview
First Aid is a secondary profession which allows you to create 'bandages' out of the various pieces of cloth which drop off of humanoids around the world of WoW (you can see the full list from the trainers in the game, just turn of the 'unavailable' filter when viewing the training list). First aid differs from eating food primarily because you can apply first aid during combat on yourself or others, and there is no need to sit. You also gain health at a much quicker rate than eating food.

First Aid Ranks

Apprentice (1 - max 75)
The apprentice rank can be trained in any major city. Just speak to a local guard and ask them where you can find the local first aid trainer.

Journeyman (50 - max 150 skill)
Like the apprentice rank, you can train up to the journeyman skill in any city, just speak to a local guard and find out where the local physician is located.

Expert (125 - max 225 skill)
To become an 'expert' first aid toon, you'll need to purchase a book for 60 silver. The individual vendors for alliance/horde are listed below.

Alliance: Deneb Walker, located in the Arathi Highlands....just inside Stormgarde keep.
Here's a map of Ms. Walker's location on thottbot.
http://www.thottbot.com/?m=10618

Horde: Balai Lok'Wein, located in Brackenwall Vil
lage in Dustwallow Marsh.
Here's a map of Balai's location on thottbot.

http://www.thottbot.com/?m=93812

Artisan (225 - max 300 skill)

Requires Player Level 40
Once you've maxed out your Expert skill level in first aid, you come to one of the more entertaining quests in the game, the Triage! The triage requires you to 'save' 15 injured warriors/soldiers in a small physician's room loaded with casualties.......BEFORE 6 of them die. There are 3 types of soldiers, critically injured, badly injured and injured. The critically injured die rather quickly so bandage them first, same goes for the badly injured.

A few more tips on this quest:
- Position yourself in the MIDDLE of the room.
- Adjust your camera until you can see a part of ALL the beds containing the injured. This allows for quick targeting.
- Once you receive your 'triage bandages' throw them in a hotbar slot (#1 is easiest). This will let you speedily heal the injured and not have to fumble around in your backpack.

So now that I've told you all you need to know to SUCCEED in this quest, you're probably wondering where the hell you get it! Here's how you can obtain the triage quest.

Alliance:
First, you'll need to speak to Nissa Firestone in Ironforge, she'll then direct you to speak to Doctor VanHowzen in Theramore. Here are thottbot maps for both NPCs.

Horde:
To begin this quest you need to strike up a conversation with Arnok who hangs out in Ogrimmar. He'll then direct you to speak with Doctor Victor in the Arathi Highlands. Here are maps for both NPCs.

Farming In Outlands

2007-03-31T06:25:00.000-07:00

Motes/Primals of elements and other things have become important now in crafting and as such can easily be worth alot on the AH. The best places to farm these motes are in places only accessable via farming mount. Such areas are the elemental plateau in north-eastern Nagrand or Skettis in south-eastern Terokkar Forest.

At Elemental Plateau you will find 'raging' elementals of the Earth/Wind/Fire/Water they each drop about 2x Motes every other kill (at least they have for me), easily able to rack in money for the primals at the rate they drop. Motes of Mana I have found drop around Area 52, from any of the mana creatures around there and I have found Motes of Life to drop from the Spawning Glen in Zangarmarsh. I have also read that Motes of Earth come from mining within Outlands.

At Skettis you will find countless mobs ranged from 70-72 that drop about 15-20 silver per kill and can also drop world drops also things such as Super Healing Potions. The Sketti Surgers (water elementals) have been dropping 2x mote of water every other kill.

Primal Might is required for some of the much higher level items which is created with one primal from each of the above (minus life).

World of Warcraft Guides: Make Gold As A Newbie!

2007-02-25T19:35:00.000-08:00

World of Warcraft Guides: Learn How To Make Gold As A Newbie (lvls 6-10)

Did you just start a playing WoW or do you have a brand new character and want to learn how to make gold very quickly? This guide is just for you! I have found this on the internet and I feel it will help a lot of newbies to get started and even some people that just started playing on the brand new servers and wants to make gold quickly at the lower levels in the game!

Start as Skinner and a Herbalist or Miner for a while to gather resources. You may have to travel to a main town to learn these skills early - but its worth doing early.

Skinner as you will be killing many skinable mobs early on, and either Herbalist or Miner as the radar marker conflicts - you cant have both a Herbalist and Miner radar blip on. I have "toons" that are both Skinner, Herbalist and Skinner, Miner ... I think the coin generated is a little better as a Miner (esp as you get occ. gem drops in ore placements), but if you choose a dark-elf as a race go herbalist as the starting area has no mining resources - there may be an equivalent horde race !

Collect 6 slot bags as quickly as possible ... some will drop as loot, others can be bought from tailors ... you can do a /who and /tell and offer to buy COD (cash on delivery) via the mail system so you dont have to buy from an NPC vendor or go to an Auction House before you are ready.

Have a "mule" sitting in your factions Auction House Town (eg. Ironforge for Alliance) - create a character that is closest to the Auction House Town .. best a dwarf or gnome for easy access to Ironforge - Humans need to travel via Stormwind and the Underground tram system, Dark-Elves have to travel via foot for about 20 minutes through dangerous territory to get anywhere near Ironforge for the first time ... place your character very near a mailbox that is not busy. There are two mailboxes near the Auction House in Ironforge - one is always crowded .. crowds = lag. Choose the one that is not busy for your log-in/log-out place. This mule you will post your stacks to for sale at the Auction House.

Keep notes of how much a stack of resources (light leather from skinning, copper ore from mining, silverleaf and peaceblossom from herbalism) sell to an NPC vendor but dont sell to the vendor.

Check the Auction House prices using the search facility and take note of the starting and buyout prices for the stacks of resources you are selling. Many items have a buy-out price upto 10-20 times the price an NPC vendor will buy from you. I personally set my prices as follows .... starting price 2x the NPC vendor buy value (around 1.5-2.5s per stack) and a buyout price 5-6 times the NPC buy value unless all the competitor sellers buyout prices are way above or below that, then I set my buyouts at just below theirs.

A couple of hours work at toon level 6-8 will give you 3-4 stacks of light leather, 2-3 stacks of herbs, 1-2 stacks or metals bars (yep, smelt them for mining experience before selling them ... if you are "grey" on smelting copper (ie no mining XP form it), sell the stacks of raw ore) and if you are working in an area of humanoids 1-2 stacks of linen cloth. Dont waste your linen on bandages (FirstAid) .. at least not yet.

Dont waste bag storage space on grey usable items, ruined pelts, broken teeth etc. unless you are filling up an inventory for the run home. Keep green items for Auction House sale if your toon (or an alt) doesnt need them. Always set auctions for 24 hours and put a buyout price about 4-6x the value to an NPC vendor (again check the Auction House current prices so you dont over or under value your items) ... the buyout price allows impatient bidders a way of getting their items quickly - and your money faster.

Mail your major items to your mule for Auction House Placement, dump the rest of the garbage ontot he NPC vendor.

Each stack will sell at Auction House for 5-10s per stack easily and up to 20s per stack if the demand is right, low level "green" items 5-10s each.

My first (and still main) toon never got anywhere near this cash return so early (mage, miner engineer) ... my current level 10 gatherer is getting 1g per 2 hours of game time (mixing it up with questing and general fun) .... a concentrated effort should nett close to 1g per hour - a huge return for a low level character me thinks.

Dont choose your crafting profession too early ... you can always drop one of your gathering professions for a crafting profession once your cash flow is good.

Buying unneeded items early eats money.
Buying unneeded skills early eats money.
Enchanting eats money !
Engineering eats money !
Leatherworking, Blacksmithing and Tailoring can feed an enchanter, make reasonably good money from auctioned items later.
Alchemy can be fun and provide a good range of buff and regen. potions for your own use, then sell once you get to craft the higher demand potions.

Last Of My Money Making Strats

2007-02-25T07:45:00.000-08:00

I mentioned in Money Making 101 that I was holding back a trick or two for fast gold. Well, it's time to share. This will require fishing over 75 (100+ is better for the catch rate) and level 25 or higher. Like all my strats they are designed for alliance but horde can do as well.

Deviate fish = LOTS OF GOLD

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4311

Get yourself to The Barrens and into the Wailing Caverns instance. You can catch the Deviate fish outside the instance and even in the pool outside the cave but you'd be crazy to fish there as alliance since this is horde land and a popular low level instance. There are several safe spots in the instance but Ive found for ease and convenience, that the stream just past the first batch of raptors works great. There is a yellow named elite turtle that just trucks around doing laps in the pool and 1 wandering ooze you have to deal with. Other then that, its a totally safe spot. The turtle is non aggro but after he struts by for the 25th time you'll find yourself wanting to make turtle soup.

Catch rate:

Ive found that it actually varries from trip to trip (kinda like real fishing). Sometimes I'll be catching a deviate at around 1 per every 2.5 fish or around 40% of the time. On slower days it breaks down to about 1 in every 4 fish or 25% of the time. Its never less then 1 in 4. Take into account the occasional no catch and the rare "fish got away", you SHOULD be catching 1 deviate in every 5 casts on average on your worst day. Average cast time for a catch is around 30 seconds (this is purely an estimate based on my experience and NOT hard data). That means youre catching around 2 fish a minute or 1 deviate fish every 2 minutes. What does all that mean in simple terms......30 deviate fish an hour.

Why Deviate fish? :

Deviate fish are diffrent from any other fish in WoW because they have this wierd effect on the eater. They do all kinds of crazy stuff from making you huge (or tiny) to shape shifting you to even putting you to sleep. Deviate fish are also used in 2 alchemy recipes.

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=7015
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4710

These recipes are low level and can be learned by your level 5 AH whore. The trick is getting them. They are a rare and I mean RARE drop in the barrens. I farmed for 2 weeks trying to get them and finally broke down and ought the giant growth for 30g. Even if you dont have the recipes you can still make great money fishing these up. People just love these just for goofing around with kinda like Nogginfogger.

Money money:

Now that we have a bunch of fish in our bags, its off to the AH. On Bleeding Hollow, I can sell a stack of 20 deviates for 12g any day of the week. You can milk it for a few more silver if you split in stacks of 10 (6.5-7g per ten) but I like the simple quick sale of 12g a stack. If you are fortunate enough to have one of both of the recipes, you can make even more. The going rate seems to be around 1g per potion or cooked fish. I sell the giant growth pots for 4.75g per stack of 5 and they sell well, though slightly slower then the raw fish.

The break down:

Let's analyze the numbers. You fish for 2 hours and catch 60 deviate fish. Thats 3 full stacks of 20 fish. An uncooked stack sells for 12g so for 2 hours work you made 36g or 18g an hour (excluding travel time). Now if you cook or pot up the fish, your cash is significantly more. Each 5 giant growth/savory deviate delight equal 5g. We caught 60 fish so thats 60g. That comes out to 30g an hour.

Conclusion:

Do this once a week and it's a damn good supplement to your grind income and can pay for nice weapons and enchants. It's not exactly a epic mount cash grind strat but a damn fine way to keep your gear fresh. As a rogue Ive had both weapons blues or purples and both with firey enchant since around level 34 and this strat is a major reason. If you have the balls to bot fish these guys, the money could be ridiculous.

Disclaimer:

Like all my strats, I suggest you resist the urge to be retarded and list ALL YOUR FISH AT ONCE. Don't be a lazy ass because all it does is kill the strat for everyone...including you. The key to marketing is creating the appearance of scarcity. That keeps the price up. Don't go into the instance and fish for 15 minutes and come back here crying, " WAHH WAH!!!! Cowboy lies I only caught 2 deviate fish..WAHH!!!" All my numbers are based on an "over time" formula. Anything less then 2 hours per fishing session is going to give you diffrent numbers and even 2 hours is kinda low. If you want the cash, make the time investment....simple.

Enchanting Guide

2007-02-25T07:43:00.000-08:00

What profession type is Enchanting?
mary. It counts against your 2 profession limit.
Service oriented really. You don’t have any product. You enhance already existing product.

What’s good about Enchanting?
You can enhance already good items to be even better, adding stats, defense, effects, and (on weapons) particle (glow) effects. Overall it allows people to customize their gear and stats to either strengthen their good attributes or lift up some that their lacking in.

What’s not so good about Enchanting?
- To get most of your components for enchants you need to disenchant (destroy) green and blue items.
- Enchanting is a service so you can’t really use the auction house for selling your skill. You’ll just have to call out in the trade channel or yell in the area that you’re doing enchantments and what kind of stuff you can do.
- As you level in enchanting you’ll find you need higher level gear to disenchant, which makes it more expensive. You’ll spend a good bit of your early levels being poor.

Disenchant, what’s that?
You get this skill at level one as soon as you tell the trainer you want to be an enchanter. It doesn’t actually have a number attached to it so even at level 1 you can break down a level 50 item into it’s enchanting components.

Components?
These are the components you use to weave your enchantments. I’ve found that there are 4 categories of items when it comes to enchanting.
- Dusts
- Essences
- Shards
- Misc.

Is there any rhyme or reason to these components?
For the most part you get dusts from disenchanting armor, essences from disenchanting weapons and shards are a rare disenchant. Also, blue items are guaranteed to drop *a* shard and purple to drop multiple shards. The miscellaneous items are usually stuff that’s procured through another tradeskill (potions – alchemy, ore - mining, etc).

So at skill level 1 I can get components to do top level enchantments?
Yes, however you won't be able to use those components until your enchanting skill rises to levels where recipes require them. Right around level 100 is where you'll find that you start needing shards then shortly after you'll start getting recipes that require astral essences instead of Magic essences. It slowly phases in then slowly proceeds, after that, to phase into the next level material.

My lesser magic essence says something about combining into a greater magic essence. What's with that?
Essences come in two versions per tier. Greater and lesser. A greater essence is just 3 lessers combined into 1. Yes you can get greaters off of a disenchant and in general I've found that combining lessers into greaters saves on space. But fear not, you can convert from lesser to greater and back again with no drawbacks.

What’s the deal with the “rods”?
These are like a reagent but they’re not consumed when you enchant something. The un-enchanted rods are procured from a blacksmith and then you enchant them (you get the recipes for them through the trainers. About every 50 points is when you get a new rod then start getting enchants that require that specific rod.

Can I be rich being an enchanter?
Well, probably at the upper levels. Low levels can only add +1 to a stat in a few armor categories. Not until you reach the 90’s can you start enchanting weapons. Even then, many people don’t want to spend the money on your enchant unless it makes their weapon glow.

How do I know what to price my enchants at?
This is going to be a good question (and a matter of perspective) for the foreseeable future. You’re components can’t be sold so there’s really no measuring stick in game outside of what people will pay. Be ready to be flexible but at the same time keep track of what the overall value of the items are that your disenchanting. This should give you a relatively good baseline.

What sells well?
Minor beast slayer is the first enchant you get that is a pretty good money maker. I didn’t have one sale until I got this formula (it’s a drop off of some mobs), definatly buy this one. Glow effects are a big demand. Me personally I go for the stats, but glowing weapons are just “cool”.

Can I stack multiple enchantments on an item?
No, only one crafted ability can be on an item at one time. This includes other professions such as leatherworking (armor patches) and blacksmithing (sheild spikes) as well. So if you go to enchant that shield and you notice a sheild spike already on there you might want to ask them if they're sure they don't want it anymore.

Man this is one seriously long FAQ, you know?
Yes, I like to type.

Ok you sold me. I trained in masochism, I mean enchanting, how do I do it now?
Well first off you need to stock up on enchanting components. Go to the vendor and buy some dust, maybe some wood and, if you’re lucky, some lesser magic essences or get yourself some green weapons/armor and disenchant them. Now press “P” and click on the enchanting. Open your inventory screen then select the enchantment you want and click enchant then click again on the equipment you want to enchant. If you’re doing this for someone else just have them open a trade window, place the item they wish enchanted in the “Will not be traded” window. Select the enchantment they want and click enchant, then click again on the item in the trade window. The text there should turn green. Once you both click accept he should get an enchanted item in his inventory and you should get a skill up.

Can any class be an enchanter?
Yes. Because we’re dependant upon drops, it’s fairly easy for anyone to be an enchanter. I just chose druid for the RP feel of it. Seemed illogical that a warrior would dabble in magically affecting gear. But that’s just personal preference.

Can I enchant soulbound items?
Yes. Just have the customer place their soulbound item in the will not be traded window.

Can I disenchant soulbound items?
Yes and No. You basically can only disenchant items in your own inventory. Other people will have to just sell (waste) their soulbound green+ items. There was a request to be able to disenchant other people's soulbound items, but the thread has dropped into obscurity.

Does enchanting make something soulbound?
None of the enchants that I’ve used so far has done that. However most folks have a good bit of gear that’s already soulbound.

Is there any level requirements for Enchanting or the Engineer levels?
- Apprentice - level 5.
- Journeyman - level 10.
- Expert - level 20.
- Artisan - level 35.
(Thanks Hokuspokus who thanks Bregar)

Ok I'm doing great getting skill up there, where do I find trainers to further the profession?
- Beginning Trainers: Can usually be found in the city you go to after leaving the newbie training grounds or major faction cities (Ironforge, Orgrimmar, Stormwind, Darnassus, Undercity, and Thunderbluff). If in doubt ask a guard in the respective city.
- Artisan Trainers (For training in Expert):
Kitta Firewind in Elwynn Forest (Tower of Azora) (A)
Hgarth in Stonetalon Mountains (H)
- Master Trainers: (For training in Artisan: Annora in Uldaman (within instance, near bats) (A/H) to get to her you go right from the "Raiders of the lost ark room". After you go right there are 3 passages you go right past a pit full of non-elites then there is a fork and go right once more. There you will fine another pit full of non-elite scorpids you have to kill them all before the trainer will come out.

What other profession should I take with Enchanting?
It's really up to the player. Many say take leatherworking, tailoring or blacksmithing as you can make green items. The downside is you have to buy your resources (leather and ore) off of other players os you're really at the mercy of the market. Leatherworking is the preffered because the resources are easier to come by (read cheaper). Many enchanters (such as myself) are mostly (or completely) funded by their guild. So in my case I took a supplying profession (skinning in my case but Herbalism and Mining work good too) to help other folks in the guild with their tradeskills.

You got something wrong on this FAQ and therefore are obviously just a newb when it comes to enchanting. How do I tell you how much I think you suck?
Email me at yousuck@Idontcare.com (apologies if this is actually a website, lol) or better yet just respond to this thread and I’ll try to keep it as up to date as I can.

Profession Guide Herbalism

2007-02-25T07:42:00.001-08:00

Herbalism is the art of picking flowers. It is also the art of making cash, which is what we want :)

Herbalism is one of the few professions that will net you money with little effort. All other professions require you spending a lot of materials to level them up, thus you need to do a lot of business to even break even.

It's highly recommended that you wait until you have a mount before you start leveling herbalism seriously. Up until then just pick whatever flowers you stumble upon. In fact, forget about professions (except skinning) until you hit 55+, since you can't pick the profitable flowers until then.

The best way to level this profession is by being patient. Get a 5-10 minute route down, ride it, then log for an hour and repeat it.

1-15: Here you will collect Silverleaf and Peacebloom in the newbie zones. Easy.

15-50: Earthroot. Alliance head to Dun Morogh, Horde to Durotar. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?s=earthroot

50-85: Mageroyal. Alliance head to Loch Modan/Westfall, Horde head to Barrens/Silverpine. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?i=658

85-150: Stranglekelp. Here you have two options: Wetlands or STV. Personally I prefer Wetlands. For Wetlands swim up and down the coast a bit out. For STV either swim up the west coast from BB to the Zandalar tribe isle or swim up and down the SE coast. Maps: STV: http://thottbot.com/?m=8889 and Wetlands: http://thottbot.com/?m=9239

150-195: Liferoot. Wetlands is the best option for this part. Ride around the western swamp area; from the coast to the road leading to Dun Modr. Interspersed with the liferoot is also Kingsblood, which sells decently on AH due to it being needed for Thorium rep. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?m=9232

195-235: Wintersbite. The only place for this herb is in Alterac Mountains. When coming from the south (either TM or SS), first ride through the yeti area of the mountains, then ride through the ogre stronghold and finally ride through the ogre part of the mountains. Log and wait 30-60 mins, then repeat in reverse order. This part is pretty quickly done. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?m=19247

235-270: Blindweed. I prefer using Swamp of Sorrows for this part, since you can get a nice pattern going easily. Simply circle the central lake, log 30 mins and repeat. Alternatively ride back and forth through the northern part of the swamp. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?m=21505

270-300: Dreamfoil. This is the reason you level herbalism. Dreamfoil is used extensively in all the top alchemy recipes and sells for a pretty penny. .75-1.5G per flower depending on server. There are three main places for this herb: Azshara, Felwood or Un'goro. Try all three places and find the least camped one. Dreamfoil grows in open spaces, so stay away from rocky areas. However, Mountain Silversage (used in health pots), grows in mountains, so find a few spawn points of this herb and ride past them on your rounds.
Of the three Un'goro seems to be the least camped...but again it varies with server. Personally I use Azshara to pick my Dreamfoil and it works quite well.

Maps:
Azshara: http://thottbot.com/?m=70549
Felwood: http://thottbot.com/?m=47575
Un'goro: http://thottbot.com/?m=36626

Other herbs worth picking:

Icecap: Used in flasks and mana pots. Only grows in Winterspring in open areas. Heavily camped. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?m=28935

Mountain Silversage: Used in Mongoose pots and health pots. Grows in mountaneous regions. Un'goro is the spot for this herb. Alternatively Winterspring if you are after Icecap.Maps: Un'Goro: http://thottbot.com/?m=33245 and WS: http://thottbot.com/?m=28933

Plaguebloom: Used in Mongoose pots and various elixirs. Grows in both plaguelands and Felwood. Maps: EPL: http://thottbot.com/?m=14671 and WPL: http://thottbot.com/?m=26432 and Felwood: http://thottbot.com/?m=1011788

Gromsblood: Used in Flask of the Titans. Grows in Desolace, Felwood and Blasted Lands. Maps: http://thottbot.com/?i=5537

And there you have it. Herbalism is very good money with very little actual work. You only have to ride around :) When you decide to sell your gatherings, check your AH first and undercut a bit. If the bottom drops out of the market, jsut wait a few days and stockpile in the meanwhile, then sell when prices move back up.

Soloing Celebras

2007-02-25T07:37:00.000-08:00

Recently made friends with a chinese gold farmer, his english is better than some but not that good. He showed me what he does all day, probably every day. He kills 3 bosses in maraudon, first celebras the cursed, then tinkerer then rotgrip. He uses the scepter to get into maraudon quick. I've always been interested in them as they must know some of the best ways to grind money.

Anyway he showed me how to kill the bosses, I couldn't do it! So I downloaded fraps and made a movie of it so I could watch it until I got it.

Have a look at this video
http://www.zippyvideos.com/1161256226193396/4/

Original video was bigger than that, you could see the buffs he was using etc.

What I can't understand is how he gets the trees to aggro on his pet! he activates devilsaur eye trinket and rapid fire and his pet is in beastal wrath. He doesnt seem to use growl, claw, or screetch, pets focus stays at 100%. Second time the trees go back to his pet the only thing that happens is his mark of the chosen procs. Saw no evidence of him using teleporting hacks or any hacks during our runs. I thought he was using screetch to pull aggro back to his pet, but tried it and it didnt work. Only thing it can be a beast mastery pet creates enough aggro on the boss that the trees go after it

For the video he was buffed with PW:F (he joined a normal 5 man mara run for a bit lol), he doesnt normally have that so usually has a bit lower health when hes finished. Towards the end a bit you didnt see is he will send his owl back to the starting position and all the trees follow it, then he loots and puts pet out of range so it dissapears I think (didnt record this bit)

I recently changed to MM, every time I try it the same I just get more and more trees aggro on me whilst not getting his health down far enough. He actually has better gear than me, the gear I have got he helped me to get killing the other bosses in the instance - I just got my character undeleted and I didn't have any gear.

Tier 1/2 guys can just nuke him down before the trees can kill them I know but wondering how this was done in greens/blues.

Another strange thing, a few times whilst I've been in the instance too he has invited me to group (to reset the instance) yet he doesnt make me leader, then goes offline very quickly (some / command?) and comes back online quickly (probably from having no mods installed!)

2 Methods to Play For Free

2007-02-25T07:35:00.000-08:00

1. If you have money on your debit/credit card but dont want to use it.
2. If you DONT have any money on your credit/debit card.

Lets start with case #1 shall we? Yeah well anyway. Lets say you have money on your card. This will let you actually play a longer period of time without paying. This is what you do. Ill just tell you how to do it so it works then ill explane why and how it works.

1. Login to worldofwarcraft.com and go to account management.
2. Go to the payment page.
3. Enter you card info and pay for 1 month subscription.
4. And press update and what ever so it basically says 'Congardulation, you have activated your account and are ready for playing' or somthing like that.
5. Okay... now login to the game. And log in to your main character, it can be any actually....
6. now after your in the game, alt tab out. Its very important you AltTab out and not close the game.
7. Go back to the account management page then go to yout subscription plan page again.
8. Now cancel your subscription! (You are still logged in with your character in the game)
9. Boom now you play for free until you log out! You will not be billed! Wootness! i win! lol...

But remember if you log out you will not be able to log back in again.... So be carful not to get any DCs hehe =P
Okay now the unknown side of this. Im not sure how man times you can do this in a row, I dont recomend you do this more than two times within 24 hours, 36 hours would be better in my opininon because the billing system works on every 12 or 6 hours if im not mistaking. But im sure you can do this at least 2 times in a row because it has been tested. You can do this as must as you want on other accounts as in... You can do it for your account... Then at the same time do it for your friends account, and vise versa the next day. so your cards would be in use 48 hours each. Again i dont recomend you use this methot on a regular basis... Because i do not know the what the consiquenses can be, even thogh i dont think they can be major consiquenses because you can always say, i wanted to play then i decided not to lol... so i took my card out...

If you do not remove your card within 6-24 hours you will be billed. I am not 100% on the (6-24 hours) but im pretty confident.

How this works

Well i know some imformation about banking and credit card billing and stuff. This is how it works. When you put in your infor for bliz to bill your account, it does not the cash out of your debit card instantly, it takes some time to process the order. So while its processing it you CAN use your account. And when you cancel your account bilzzard forgot to add a script that checks to see if your online in the game in order to kick you out. And when you cancel the plan, it does not bill you because bilzz cancels your order and refunds your money. (When i say refunds your money it doesnt mean it has takin out money to refund it, it has takin out shall i say virtual money that has not actually been taken out. Anyway i wont go deeply into this but yeah)

Okay... now to do the same if you do not have any money in your debit/credit card account.

From what i know this will only work once for a 24 hour period until the bank trys to pay blizz the amount you owe them (remember the processing time) and that takes about 24 hours or so. So blizzard doesnt know that you dont have enough money to pay them and it takes some time for them to find that out. So it will let you play for 24 hours until it finds out that you dont have enough money to pay them. The second time you try this without paying your card is shall i say flagged and wont let you play that free 24 hours on the same account until you pay the 1 month fee and so on. You can do this on your friends accounts tho. Anyway....... im going to much into this again... Basically you do this same thing from steps 1-5 i thinkl.

1. Login to worldofwarcraft.com and go to account management.
2. Go to the payment page.
3. Enter you card info and pay for 1 month subscription.
4. And press update and what ever so it basically says 'Congardulation, you have activated your account and are ready for playing' or somthing like that.
5. Okay... now login to the game. And log in to your main character, it can be any actually....

SM Farming Guide

2007-02-25T07:32:00.000-08:00

Scarlet Monastery Farming Guide

First off I am writing this from my own experience and if this is out there already then I do apologize and take this as a refresher lol. The following is done by me as my Rogue in pvp gear. Its designed for speed farming, but Id imagine any 60 could do this, just a rogue is faster and sometimes the chests are locked. Also I took up enchanting so I can DE this stuff and it was really worth it.

SM GY

Enter in the GY and proceed to the first main room. In the upper left corner of the room there is ALWAYS a chest, sometimes locked and sometimes not. Sap one of the four guards guarding it and kill the other 3. Pull them to the chest so you won’t get agro from the patrolling guard. Kill all and loot chest. Proceed to the other hall and up the stairs, when you get in the courtyard there is a chance for a chance to spawn either on the right side or the left. It will be against the wall guarded by 1 guard or 3 spirits (easy kills). If the chest is not there then its at the bottom of the tomb.

Look for rare spawns as you make your way to the tomb. They are three, Ironspine, Fallen Champion, and Azshir the sleepless. I have never seen them all up at once but I have seen them all and they are in random spots on the left side of the court yard (I have never seen them on the right). They all have decent loot that you can vendor for good coin.

The Bloodmage at the bottom is simple to kill, just go all out dps and he should be down pretty fast. Loot and get out.

SM Library

The library is pretty simple. In the courtyard is the first boss. The Houndmaster. He is pretty easy as a rogue, just kill loot and vanish. Others will have to clear. He rarely drops a blue though. Proceed into the hall after you kill (Note: If you are an herbalist there is always a fadeleaf in the courtyard) The first chest is the last room on the left down the main hall. Its guarded by 3 people and a patrol comes in and out. Wait on the patrol to leave, sap one and kill the rest, then loot. Its pretty simple for 60’s. Continue through the halls until you come to next chest, will either be in the 2nd or 3rd hall from last chest on the left, or in last hall on the right side just before you enter Arcanist Doans room.

Arcanist Doan is real simple, just dps until he bubbles, wait it out and finish him off.

SM Armory

First note of interest is the courtyard, usually a fadeleaf in there for you herbalist and chance on a chest in there also. Ive seen the chest be in random spots in courtyard. If chest isn’t there it will be in the second part of the room you are about to go in guarded by 2 guards and a patrol. Kill these quick and don’t let them run or it can be add city. After this head for Herod unless you wanna stop and get Fireworks on the way lol.

Herod is pretty simple also, just dps and back off when he spins, and repeat, he isn’t a problem. Watch out for the 20 or so trainees after you kill. They are all one shotted and they can I have seen 5 scarlet tabards drop from these.

SM Cathedral

I only go in here for the goldthorn, it is to time consuming to clear everything so I go get the two goldthorns and get out. Others may wanna clear but im here for speed farming lol.

I wanna show why I speed through these with some loot I have got. I made 400g this past weekend doing the 3-4 hours a night.

Chest loot is the main goal here for me and the following is some of the money making items I have looted from these…

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3879 GY Chest, sold for 40g on my server

http://www.thottbot.com/?n=250072 GY Chest, sold for 35g on my server

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=7970 Scarlet Monk, Gave to guildie

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14591 Library Chest, sold for 200g (pretty rare)

These are some of my big finds, im not counting the little blues that sell for 5-10g on AH and all the DE stuff I sell. You get a ton of 12 slot bags from these chest and they go from 1-2g depending on server, another thing for rogues is to pickpocket as much as you can for heal pots which sell nice. Last thing is SILK, you get a ton of it. I sell mine for 40s a stack and it flies off the AH I don’t care that its low its all 100% profit and it always sells, plus when you putting 10 stacks on at a time its all good.

Making gold before level 60

2007-02-25T07:26:00.000-08:00

Introduction

Well, i have looked through the whole site with guides and such and i have not really found any good gold making guide for the lower levels ( level 1-59 ), so i decided i could just aswell write my own guide to help people.

First i would like to introduce myself,
Im a player from Sweden and i've got experience that reaches about 1.5 year back. I also have a good amount of capped level 60 chars in different classes so i think i got enough experience to write a guide like this.

The Guide

The ways of moneymaking

PART ONE: THE PROFESSIONS

There are countless of ways to earn money in World of Warcraft, it is not even worth to list all the ways here because it would take too much space. Also, you probably just want to know about the very best ways of gold making and not some mediocre way.

1
There is always the profession. Professions can be the most profitable way to earn money, that is if you pick the right profession for YOUR way of playing World of Warcraft. But at the very beginning the best professions to start with are:

Skinning, combined with either Mining or Herbalism

Q;Why not Mining and Herbalism?
A;Because of the simple fact that both Mining and Herbalism needs a reagent-tracker to be active for you to see the spot to farm these on the minimap. Skinning doesen't need this.

These are the core gold makers for the player between level 1-59. By selecting two of these you are most likley assured to get 100% more gold than you need for your mount at level 40 for instance ( When i was level 40 with my priest recently i had about 230 gold ). It is not hard to level up these professions either, you just have to keep grinding the mobs and stop every now and then to pick up a herb or mine a vein.

I know most of you will think 'Hey, thats not right... Enchanting is so much better for moneymaking'. That may very well be, but the problem with professions like Enchanting are that they:
1. Slow down your grind in a way that you need to keep buying enchanting tools
2. They are not very profitable unless you get to 300, and this needs some dedication.
3. Much harder to learn the tricks about. (Skinning = Kill mob,Skin,Repeat)

So you now have decided to choose a profession?
Then its time to give some guidelines for them...

MINING

Mining IS a cool profession (atleast i think so), and i usually pick mining infront of herbalism and usually mining pays a little more than herbalism in the long run.
The rules are simple, you grind and while grinding you keep an eye on the minimap for the veins. Remember that usually you can just sell the copper, tin and sometimes even iron to vendors. Because the cost mining them, running to AH, compete with others is just not worth it. So vendor this UNLESS there is a very big demand for it on AH.
When you reach Mithril level you want to start putting it up on AH, remember to always sell in bars and when i sell i usually sell in a specific system :
1. I put up 5 single bars on AH , by this i mean that i set up 5 auctions for 5 BARS and not stacks for the simple reason that sometimes people just need 1 bar and will buy it even if you overprice it instead of having to buy a 20 bar stack.
2. I only put up 3 stacks AT MOST, to keep the listing cost down. Put the rest of the bars in your bank. Remember that if you got too much mithril bars and noone buys, either lower your price a little or sell it to vendor, no need to cry about this.
For the thorium bars i use the same strategy of putting 5 single bars and 3 stacks on AH. But instead i never sell these bars. If you really don't have space for them, make a bankcharacter and put the bars there.
Don't make Steel bars unless you get an order from someone to make them, these are not very profitable to sell and if you do make them... make just 1 stack at maximum.
For gold and truesilver, ONLY sell these in single bars on AH. Most people dont need a stack of truesilver on their throat and probably will be screaming WTS 1 bar instead of buying your stack. So always sell in single bars here. Same method goes for Gold.

SKINNING

Skinning is easy and does not really speed down your leveling time since you need some resst after a combat and might aswell do this skinning.
Skinning is also very simple, you just try to kill more beasts than Humanoids, Undead etc.etc. so that every time that enemy mob goes down, you can skin it.

Q; If i dont kill Humanoids i dont get any cloth for my FA!
A; 1st. Unless you are a Warlock doing instances you don't really need FA untill level 60 and at that level you can fast cap it anyways.
2nd, if you REALLY REALLY need FA, no problem. It is okay to kill some humanoids but remember to kill enough beasts later on to get your skinning skill capped.

The basic leathers that you get from levels 1-30 about is just vendor trash, no need to spend downtime going to AH. Later on when you get to the more expensive leathers, keep the amount of stacks in AH at about 4-5 and not more to make sure you dont have to pay too much keeping them there.

HERBALISM

Herbalism is good to choose if you want an income that keeps up with your expenses without you having to be all too dedicated. As the other professions, this one is just as simple.
Always remember to have your herbalism tracker on and to keep a look at it. It will eventually pop up an herb nearby and it IS okay to grind trough the mobs to get to it. Most people see this as too much work for a single herb, instead you should see it as extra exp.
For the selling part you can follow this simple system to keep AH costs as low as possible:
Put up 2-3 single herbs and 2-3 stacks of 5! yes... by 5 i mean stacks of 5 herbs.
So by setting up small stacks and single herbs you give the alchemist an oppirtunity to get more freedom to buy what herb he wants without having to buy a stack , this results in an increased profit for YOU.

500 gold in 2 days with Skinning

2007-02-25T06:54:00.000-08:00

Angerclaw Maulers
Felwood, X37, Y44.

I've posted about this spot before awhile back but I'm taking it upon myself to do so again because I have made a sickly amount of gold here latley, and a very disturbing amount in the past 2 weeks.

As a 60 Rogue in full epic gear(bloodfang) I can kill these in about 7 seconds each, literally. The respawn rate is insanely fast, When you kill the whole spawn camp of them which is about 11-12 and take a 1 minute break you'll start having respawns to kill.

Where does the money come from you ask?

Firstly you have some stackable gray items that are very commonly dropped:

Large Bear Bone(Non-Stackable) - 14s 84c each
Bear Jaw(Stackable) - 8s 98c -- 89s 80c per Stack of 10.
Savage Bear Claw(Stackable) - 5s 78c -- 57s 80c per Stack of 10.
Bear Flank(Stackable) - 5s 78c -- 57s 80c per Stack of 10.
Wicked Claw(Stackable) - 5s -- 25s per Stack of 5.

I make anywhere from 9 to 13g in gray items per hour here.

Even without the skinning compared to most places this is a great camp for gold/hr. But skinning is where a lot of the money to come from if you want the results like I get.

You can skin Rugged and Thick leather off of these. My server prices are 2.50g per stack of Rugged and 1.50g per stack of Thick. Server prices are going to range, The intake of gold on this obviously is based only on my servers prices, But you will still make amazing gold here if you put the time in.

So where does all the money come from?
I take 8 hours a day and I run it here, Straight. Not every day, Usually in the evenings and into the late hours on the nights I'm not raiding and ocasionally if there is a third day I'll get up around 7am to start and I can be done around mid afternoon so I can enjoy the day or do something else in game.

A single hour run brings on brings me in 6 Stacks of Rugged Leather and 5 stacks of Thick Leather. I don't know if it's because my kill rate is fast or just pure luck, But I can't remember when I have come away from this with less leather then that in an hours run.

6x 2.50g = 15g per hour
5x 1.50g = 7.5g per hour

If I average out my usual grey items income per hour then I come away with 10.5g per hour. I'm going to edit this tomorrow and record all of my drops and leather intake from my 8 hours, But this is accurate. I've been making money like this for months now.

Now, On to the juicy part...

Intake per hour based on Leather sales on the AH is 22.50g Per HOUR.

Intake per hour based on sellable greys averages out at about 10.50g

33 Gold per hour.
Wipe the drool off keyboard and keep reading :P

I run this 8 hours per day, Two days a week. Sometimes 3 but rarely. Skinning is obviously required to get the bigger chuck of change for your time. Some of you all day BG'ers could make litterally thousands of gold here in a week if you took a week off from all day long BG and went here, Just a thought. And I'm not exaggerating. Thousands.

I try to run these 2 days back to back and I generally refuse to put up my auctions and vendor until I have my 16 hours worth of loot. I just throw it all in the bank.

At the end of my 2 days I usually end up taking 510g - 545g out of my mailbox. +\- a few gold for randomness of drops.

I have over 5000g in my bag right now. If you want an exact number then it's 5649g.
All of that gold was made in this spot except about 600g.

Maybe some of you should thinking of switching professions :P

The Recently Deceased Part 4

2007-02-23T07:48:00.000-08:00

48] STOLEN : Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
Objectives : Find and return the Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
Rewards : +10 Intellect, Restores 4 mana per 5 sec Cloth Gloves

While you are killing the Golems you can start looking out for these two items. The Tuyere drops from the Dark Iron Steamsmiths, and there are three main camps where you will find these, located along the northern edges of The Cauldron.

The Spyglass drops from the Dark Iron Lookouts, and you will find those at the towers along the west and southern sides of the cauldron. I have placed an 'x' beside each of the towers. Be sure not to fight up into the tower as the mob up there is elite, you don't need to worry about him.,

Be aware that the drop out for both of these items can be extremely frustrating at times, but if you run between the towers and the three steamsmith camps, and combine it with killing the golems, it's not too bad.

[48] JOB OPPORTUNITY : Culling the Competition
Objectives : Slay 15 Dark Iron Taskmasters and 15 Slavers
Rewards : XP!

[48] Forging the Shift
Objectives : Collect 8 Thorium Plated Daggers
Rewards : XP!

[50] What the Flux?
Objectives : Find the Secret Plans: Fiery Flux
Rewards : XP!

[49] Incendosaurs? Whateverosaur is More Like It
Objectives : Kill 20 Incendosaurs
Rewards : Luffa (Trinket) - Use: Removes one Bleed effect.

Although the Dark Iron Taskmaster's and Slavers can be found in the camps spotted all over, I found the easiest way was to kill them in the Slag Pit, and I needed to go through there anyway so why not two birds with one stone. Any Taskmaster and Slaver will drop the Thorium Plated Dagger as well.

If you look at the map below, I have placed blue dot's where there is a path heading down into The Cauldron. If you follow that path down, killing the patrols on the way, it will come to a small bridge and over the other side you should see an entrance into the cliff walls. If you head in through that entrance you should enter 'The Slag Pit.'

Fighting through the miners as well as some Taskmasters and Slavers you need, curve around to your left and go over the second little bridge to where you will see a large quarry gate over the other side. Right clicking the gate will open it for you and inside you will find yet more mobs you need.

You want to kill down the passage way there, you will eventually come into a first large room followed straight away by a second, larger room. In this second room you will see a ramp leading up on the far wall, you want to go up that ramp. Be aware that there will be mobs wandering up and down the ramp and about half way you will be given a choice of straight ahead or turning around and continuing up, you want straight ahead.

At the top of the ramp, on your left you will see it enters into a room with lots of Taskmasters and Slavers. The mobs here will come in sets of two, but really aren't that difficult to kill given they are around the mid 40's. From this room you will see on your left a corridor lined with tables, chairs and what looks like beds along the wall. To your right will be a small lookout and that is where Overseer Maltorius and his two elite buddies will be. Behind him, the Secret Plans: Fiery Flux.

Now you probably won't be able to take all three elites at once if you are solo, so load up Howl of Terror and be prepared to make a run for it. Howl of Terror should land on all three fairly easily, and once it does start looting the plans. After you have it in your hands, jump off the ledge, this will land you in the passage you were just clearing and you should be able to run till you drop agro.

Once you are clear, head back to the same room you were just in, only this time head across the bridge on the other side of the room. If you follow that, it will take you out into the open briefly before looping around back inside. Fighting through a couple of mobs and you should start to see lava, look to your right and you should see the first Incendosaur.

All around under there will be Incendosaurs and they are spaced well enough apart that you can single every one. Depending on how fast you kill, you may need to wait around for respawn to get all 20, but respawn is fairly fast. Pretty much every kill will drop one or more Incendosaur Scales, and these are used to hand in at Thorium Point for faction. You can either hand them in with Kingsblood, Heavy Leather or Iron Ore. Or you can sell them on the Auction House if you don't care about faction.

Once done, fight your way out and by the time you reach the top you should have all the Taskmasters, Slavers and Daggers you need.

[47] The Key to Freedom
Objectives : Find a use for the Grimsite Outhouse Key
Rewards : XP!

Most likely in the time you are fighting down there, or looking for the Steamsmiths and Lookouts, you would have seen at least one 'Grimsite Outhouse Key' drop. This item begins a quest and the outhouse you are looking for is found on the south-east part of the zone, not far from where you came in from Badlands.

The Outhouse is up at the back of the camp at Grimesilt Dig Site and you will talk to the door, I'm not sure I want to see inside anyway. Once you hand in the key, Locheed is free and runs away, but there must be a few people caught inside as you can get a second quest from the Outhouse.

[45] Caught!
Objectives : Kill 8 Dark Iron Geologists and bring 15 pieces of Silk Cloth to the person locked in the outhouse
Rewards : XP!

The camp just below you will have all the Dark Iron Geologists you need, however they drop Mageweave not Silk so you will need to collect that from somewhere else if you didn't bring it with you. Once you have killed the 8 you need, head back to the Outhouse.

[46] Ledger from Tanaris
Objectives : Take the copy of Goodsteel's Ledger and then find the items listed in it
Rewards : Charged Lightning Rod (Wand) 39 - 73 Nature Damage (37.3 DPS)

The next step involves you collecting a few items, one of them being the Goodsteel Ledger that will slide out from the Outhouse. If you don't see it straight away you might be on the wrong side.

The Solid Crystal Leg Shafts come from the Glassweb Spiders that are all around the camp, be warned though, drop rate can be a real pain. After you have 20 of those, head to Dustwallow Marsh, to the crashed Zeplin there and locate the Overdue Package. Finall, you need to head to Swamp of Sorrows, to the waters edge where all the Murlocs are. You might have seen him there before, you are looking for the named Murloc; Jarquai.

Once you have all the pieces, head to Tanaris to hand in.

Un'Goro, Felwood and Linkin's Sword Quest

Started at level 51
Finished at level 53

If you have never been to Un'Goro before, getting there is easy. From the Gadgetzan in Tanaris, you want to head South-West as if you were heading to Thistleshrub Valley. Just near there you will see two large blue / black pylons on either side of a gulley, that gulley will lead you straight to Un'Goro!

While running around in the zone, keep your eye out to pick up:
- Blood Petal Sprouts : Although the hand in will not give you XP, turning 15 of these into the Kodo at Marshal's Refuge will yield a goodies box.
- Blue, Red, Yellow and Green Power Crystals : You need 7 of each to hand in for a quest, and then varying amounts after to receive buffs if you so choose.
- Un'Goro Dirt Pile : You need to collect 20 Un'Goro soil for Ghede in Thunder Bluff

When you get to the base of the path leading down, look to your left for a Tauren that goes by the name of Torwa Pathfinder. He will give you quests, a couple of which you can do while you are close before you move on;

[53] The Fare of Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Find the carcass of Lar'korwi's freshest kill
Rewards : XP!

For this you need to find a carcass, and it's actually quite close, but you do need to head into raptor territory so be alert. By level 50 you should have no problems taking these mobs solo as they are between level's 47 - 52, just watch you don't get too many of them. I have marked out on the map where you will find the carcass as it's rather hard to explain, just kill your way inland mostly. Once you find the carcass, right click to loot and head back to Torwa.

While you are out in the Marshlands, you might as well look for the wrecked boat, this will begin the Linkin's Sword quest series which is a nice chunk of XP (around 20k or so). The boat can be a little hard to find if you don't know where it is, so I have marked it out on a map for you. After you find the boat, right click to begin the quest line!

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Look around in the pond for a clue about who this wrecked raft may belong to.
Rewards : XP!

Once you have found the boat and got the quest, stick your head under the water to find the 'clue'. It's a loot-able bag that will give you and item to open. When you open the item you will receive a Large Compass, a Curled Map Parchment and a Lion-headed Key.

[53] The Scent of Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Collect 2 Ravasaur Pheromone Glands
Rewards : XP!

After you hand in the carcass, the second step requires you to summon a Lar'korwi Mate, kill it and loot it's Pheromone Gland. To summon the mate, you need to locate the little piles of eggs in amongst the Ravasaur's. When you get close to and stand on the eggs, it will summon the Lar'kowri mate, kill and loot. You will need to do this twice, and once complete, head back to Torwa.

[52] Bone-Bladed Weapons
Objectives : Collect 8 White Ravasaur Claws
Rewards : Sellable Loot

While you are doing these above quests, you will end up killing the general Ravasaur's around the area, you might as well grab this quest from Orgrimmar. You need to see Jes'rimon, and he can be found in The Drag, and the very top of a building not far from the end closest to Thrall's Chamber. Locate the building that has a winding ramp up, goes up about three level's, it's on the right side if you are facing Thrall's Chamber.

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Examine the items inside the pack and bring them to their owner.
Rewards : XP!

Once you have collected and handed in the Pheromone Gland's and collected your claws, open up the pack that you got from 'the clue' and head right up the top of the zone to Marshal's Refuge and find Linken. Nice chunk of XP when you hand in (5100).

[53] Crystals of Power
Objectives : Collect 7 Power Crystals of each color: red, blue, yellow, and green.
Rewards : XP!

When you get to Marshal's Refuge and gather all your quests, be sure to head into the back of the crystal cave there and see J.D. Collie. This little gnome is the one that requires 7 of each of the colored crystals, a nice little xp jump for just collecting things.

[54] Super Sticky
Objectives : Collect 12 samples of Super Sticky Tar
Rewards : XP!

[53] The Northern Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Northern Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[53] The Eastern Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Eastern Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[51] Roll the Bones
Objectives : Collect 8 Dinosaur Bones
Rewards : +10 Stamina, +9 Agility, +9 Intellect Cloth Boots or Leather Belt

[51] Shizzle's Flyer
Objectives : Collect 8 Webbed Diemetradon Scales and 8 Webbed Pterrordax Scales
Rewards : +3 Stamina, +12 Intellect, +3 Spirit Cloth Wrist or Leather Shoulders or a Shield.

You should have the sticky tar quest from your time in Tanaris, but if you don't it comes from Gadgetzan. In Un'Goro, heading out of Marshal's refuge, you should see all the tar pits and elementals there. The tar elementals range from level 50 through to 54 but if you stick to the ones further east you should find mostly the lower ones. They are easy to pick of solo

If you were heading out Marshal's refuge and looked left, you will see there will be a large boulder you can't run over. If you go around, on the other side if you start to look up to the top of the cliffs you will come across the Northern Pylon. You need to right click and inspect the pylon to complete, and up the top there should be some Pterrordax's.

These flying dino's will drop the Scales you need for the Flyer quest as well as giving you the kill count for 'Beware of the Pterrordax' however you won't complete that just yet as the other ones you need are level 55ish. Be aware that these Pterrordax have a three second fear, but if you are Undead you can use Will of the Forsaken to break it.

Any dinosaur in the zone will drop the Dinosaur Bones, however the Pterrordax are a little tighter with theirs . Out and around the Tar pits though you should see some Diemetradon's, and they will drop the bones a lot more often. These are also needed for their scales.

From the Northern Pylon I usually kill my way to the East one, taking any Diemetradon's I pass. Be sure to continually to look around you though as there are large elite dinosaurs that will think you are very tasty. You can't miss them, they are MASSIVE, you will be lucky to reach the top of their toe nail. They have a fairly small agro range too, so moving out of their way isn't too difficult.

Once you have visited both Pylons and collected all your tar, you might as well complete the scales and bones as it won't take too long. From running around the tar pits you should have all the Diemetradon's, the Pterrordax however can be a bit trickier. Along with the five or so around the Northern Pylon, there is another pocket of them further East, almost near the Pylon on that side.

You want an area called Ironstone Plateau, and here you will find eight or so more Pterrordax, only these are lower level and don't fear. They will 'swoop' you which will knock you over and stun for a second or two, but must less risk of adds.

[50] Williden's Journal
Objectives : Return the journal to Williden Marshal
Rewards : XP!

By now you will probably have had one... or 10 Mangled Journal's Drop. The journal can be right clicked to begin a quest, which is basically handing it into Williden Marshal at Marshal's Refuge.

Now that I had done the first few quests in Un'Goro, I decided that I would do a bit of running around for the Linkin's Sword Quest line. You will need to do some killing in Felwood, so at the same time you can knock off some other quests there at the same time. Before you head off you might want to stop past Tanaris and Thunder Bluff to hand in. When you hand in at Thunderbluff, he sure to head into the large tent there to pick up the next stage.

If you are coming to Felwood for the first time you will enter at the Southern end of the zone from Ashenvale. There is a Horde outpost at Bloodvenom Falls which is along the river there, you can grab a flight path there as well as some quests.

[48] Timbermaw Ally
Objectives : Kill 5 Deadwood Warriors, 5 Pathfinders, and 5 Gardeners.
Rewards : XP!

[51] A Husband's Last Battle
Objectives : Kill Overlord Ror
Rewards : XP!

Timbermaw Ally comes from Grazle who will be standing along the path not far after you enter the zone from Ashenvale, but the one for Overlord Ror comes from Bloodvenom Post, so head up and grab that before coming back down.

The mobs you need for both quests are just in off the path at Deadwood Village. The Warriors, Gardeners and Pathfinders will be all over, and you will find Overlord Ror at the back in a large camp. If you are careful you can pull the smaller camps or two or three, as well as the wanderers. I side stepped the first large camp you come too and managed to pick off from the edges the ones at Ror's camp.

Overlord Ror is level 51 and goes down pretty easy, although he will fear and call for friends so be ready. Clearing the area around him will help lessen any adds from both effects. These are the same furbolgs that you will need to kill in order to raise your faction to pass through the caves to Winterspring. If you run back up to the path and hand in to Grazle, you can continue fighting here and collecting the feathers to hand in for further faction. You will need a minimum of 'unfriendly' to pass through to Winterspring.

[54] Well of Corruption
Objectives : Collect a sample of corrupted water from the Jadefire Satyrs' moonwell
Rewards : XP!

After you have finished raising your faction and are on your way back up to hand in, stop past the Ruins of Constellas to fill the vial at the corrupted moonwell there. Getting to the ruins can be a bit tricky, but basically you fight past some oozes and wolves, eventually you start seeing some fallen pillars and the like.

Enter very carefully as there are quite a few stealthed rogue's there just waiting to jump you. The mobs are low 50's and solo, they are easy to take, just be careful you don't pull too many adds or back into another stealthed mob. You need to fight your way to the back of the camp which is through a narrow section lined with mobs. At the other end of this pathway will be the moonwell and I advise clearing around to the right and leaving the named till later as he comes with two friends.

Once filled, head back to Bloodvenom post to hand and continue up to the very north part of the zone on our way to Winterspring. You will enter Furbolg tunnels there and the mobs should con an orange color to you. They won't attack, but be very careful if you use the right mouse button to manoeuvre, you don't want to accidentally attack.

Inside the tunnels you will come to a part where it goes straight ahead, or you can loop around and head right. To start with, take the right part and it will lead you into Moonglade, there is a flight path just off to the left of the path when you enter. If you don't care about the flight path, head straight ahead and it will lead you straight to Winterspring.

[52] It's a Secret to Everybody
Objectives : Take Linken's Sword to Donova Snowden in Winterspring.
Rewards : XP!

Now begins the first of your running, to Winterspring. Donova is located not far from the tunnels that connect Winterspring to Moonglade, as you enter Winterspring, look to your right for a small pond of water, Donova will be there. If you are near the tunnels you should see the little yellow dot on your mini map. Watch out for the wandering level 57 pack when running around here.

[52] The Videre Elixir
Objectives : Acquire a Videre Elixir
Rewards : XP!

Once have seen Donova, you need to head over to Feralas. When you land at Camp Mojache, start heading north. Just after you pass through the Twin Colossals, there will be a open area on your right, and if you look carefully, a little white tent on a rise. That is where you will find Gregan Brewspewer.

From Gregan, purchase some 'bait' and then continue North to the Ruins of Ravenwind. Closer to the main path than the harpies, you should see a white ruins with a Gnoll guarding the front, that is Miblon Snarltooth. Place the bait in front of Miblon to have him move, and thus dropping the wall behind him. Once that is done you can run in and loot. Head back to Gregan to get the Elixir, then back to Donova to hand in.

[52] Meet at the Grave
Objectives : Go to the graveyard outside Gadgetzan, and use the Videre Elixir
Rewards : XP!

From Winterspring head back to Tanaris and head to the Graveyard there (south of Gadgetzan). Drink the Elixir and don't get a fright, it is meant to kill you. Release your spirit but be very careful not to automatically click again to resurrect, you want to stay dead. As a ghost, head north to the zone wall and in the hills there you will find Gaeriyan. Speak with him then return to the graveyard and resurrect.

[52] A Grave Situation
Objectives : Resurrect, then look for the gravestone that Gaeriyan told you to find
Rewards : XP!

Once you have resurrected, there will be a large stone grave you can right click, do so.

[52] Linken's Sword
Objectives : Deliver Linken's Superior Sword to Linken in Un'Goro Crater
Rewards : XP!

Once you have clicked the grave, return to Linken and give him back his sword. The next step sends you to see J.D. Collie and she is the gnome at the very back of the cave at Marshal's Refuge.

[54] Linken's Memory
Objectives : Find Eridan Bluewind in southern Felwood
Rewards : XP!

J.D. Collie sends you back to Felwood and down to Emerald Sanctuary, the little outpost at the southern end of the zone. There you will find Eridan. Eridan will give you a quest to collect items from the North end of the zone, but let's do a couple other quests while we are here...

[51] Forces of Jaedenar
Objectives : Kill 4 Jaedenar Hounds, Guardsmen, 6 Adepts, and 6 Cultists
Rewards : XP!

After you have seen Eridan, head up to Jaedenar, there you will find the mobs you need. The Hounds are the Felhunter type mobs and go down fairly easily, the Guardians are the same being purely melee. Adepts and Cultists are both spell casters, so be careful when you pull to ensure they won't agro nearby mobs, you should be able to pull everything singularly.

Both when you enter, and when you get to the back of the camp, you will see entrance into two caves. Both caves are filled with the same mobs, however it can get a little more dangerous with multi-pulls so only use if the rest are already being killed.

[54] Corrupted Sabers
Objectives : Take Winna's kitten to the corrupted moon well, release it, then bring it back to Winna
Rewards : XP!

The Moonwell you need for this is at the Ruins of Costellas, the same moonwell you filled the vial at earlier. Again fight through to the back, and when you get there, right click the cat carrier to release the kitten. It will go for a little swim in the moonwell before following you obediently so you can return it to Winna.

When you get to Winna, you have to 'release' the cat by right clicking it first, that will turn the question mark from silver to yellow for you. Seems a little backwards to do this after Jaedenar, but as I don't know if the kitty has a time limit, I do it in that order just to be safe.

[54] Silver Heart
Objectives : Collect 11 Silvery Claws and 1 Irontree Heart
Rewards : XP!

[52] The Strength of Corruption
Objectives : Kill 12 Angerclaw Grizzlies and 12 Felpaw Ravagers
Rewards : XP!

The Claws will drop from any of the wolves and bears through out the zone, however you can complete both quests together if you head up north and kill the Grizzly's. Heading North, stop in at Irontree Woods and kill a few trees to get the heart to drop. It didn't take me very long, 5 or 6 kills only, but keep your eye out for the larger wandering tree's, at level 56 they will take a nice chunk out of you.

Once you have your heart, continue north till you start seeing the Grizzly's and Ravagers... kill away. You should get all the claws drop before you finish the killing of both types of mobs, and once you are done with both, hand in.

[52] Collection of the Corrupted Water
Objectives : Fill the canteen at the Moonwell in the center of Jaedenar
Rewards : XP!

Before I headed out of Felwood to continue with the Linkin's Sword line, I headed back to Jaedenar quickly to do this step. You fill the vial at the moonwell out in the open area near the back. The next step sends out away from the zone anyway, so I decided to head onto Tanaris to find Aquementas!

[54] Aquementas
Objectives : Summon Aquementas.
Rewards : XP!

After you have collected the claws and heart, you are sent to Tanaris to summon Aquementas. You need to head into Lost Rigger Cove and head to the other side of the enclosed area. I ran around the base where they are building the ship and out again. If you agro any mobs, you can just run them off. Once you are on the other side, look inland a bit for a circle of stones.

Use the book to summon Aquementas. Now you don't actually need to kill or even touch Aquementas (except for the fact he will be wailing on you). As soon as he is summoned he makes the totem you need, so you can just run. You can not damage Aquementas with any magical attacks, he can only be melee'd. Personally, I ran...

[54] Linken's Adventure
Objectives : Take the Silver Totem of Aquementas to Linken
Rewards : XP!

Leads to:

[56] It's Dangerous to Go Alone (Elite)
Objectives : Find and kill Blazerunner, acquire the Golden Flame.
Rewards : XP!

This is the final step, the one that will reward you with Linken's Sword and a Boomerang. It is elite and you probably won't be doing it for a couple of levels, but up until this stage the XP you earn is over 20k, a nice jump for basically just running around.

Un'Goro and Felwood

Started at level 53
Finished at level 55

Now that I was back in Un'Goro from the Linkin's Sword quest line, I decided to complete some other quests. In your running around, if you happened to pass The Undercity, head down to where they do all the testing in The Apothecarium and see Chemist Fruely.

[56] ...and a Batch of Ooze
Objectives : Collect 5 of the Pure Un'Goro Samples
Rewards : XP!

As the quest says, any ooze in Un'Goro will work for this. All of them will drop an Un'Goro Slime Sample, the tricky part is you won't know how many will net you the Pure kind until you get back to The Undercity. To be safe, collect as many as you can before heading back, I got between 10 and 15 and it worked ok.

When you get back to the Undercity, there is a small bowl with green goo in it on the table beside Fruely. Right click it to get the tested sample, and then right click the sample to see if you got a pure one. Once you have your 5 hand in, then sell the rest of the junk you get.

[52] Alien Ecology
Objectives : Use the Scraping Vial to collect a Hive Wall Sample
Rewards : XP!

To start with, I ran to the very south end of the zone. You can head straight down if you wish, but I took a little detour around the east side in a large arc for safety... and less mobs to knock me off my mount.

If you fight down the East side, you will kill through some Raptors before starting to see big green bugs and eventually enter The Slithering Scar. You are looking for the hive there and you need to kill your way just inside the entrance. As you enter the hive you will see you can go left or right, you want left, down the short tunnel into a small round room. If you clear that room and stand in the very center, you will be able to take your Hive Wall Sample.

[53] The Western Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Western Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[53] Expedition Salvation
Objectives : Collect the Crate of Foodstuffs and Research Equipment
Rewards : XP!

[55] Beware the Pterrordax
Objectives : Kill 10 Pterrordax and 15 Frenzied Pterrordax
Rewards : Sellable loot

After I collected my hive sample, I left the hive facing west. Mount up and make a bee line for the west wall, you will run through an area called Terror Run, and there will be level 54 and 55 mobs as well as elites, just try to run though.

Around the Western Pylon you will find the Frenzied Pterrordax's, and you should have already completed all the normal, lower level ones last time you were in the zone. Clearing the Pterrordax from around the pylon, as well as a couple around the base of the cliffs, I was already up to 7 of the 15 needed.

There are lots more Frenzied Pterrordax along the western wall heading north, in little pockets as well as flying around in the open. You should have no trouble killing the 15 needed for these. As with the lower level versions, the frenzied have a fear, although it seems to be a single target fear and hit my pet most of the time, not really effecting me at all.

Now comes the really fun part, you need to collect a box out in the middle of Terror Run. You can try to kill your way through the non elites, but personally I just soulstoned up and made a run for it. I have marked on the map where the Research Equipment is, and you are looking for a tent of sorts with a lootable box. If you mount up you can dodge most of the mobs on the way in, and if you do get agro when close, run around a bit to loose it.

When you think you are safe, run up to the box, demount and start looting. I got one mob jump me when I got off my mount, but a quick fear got rid of it long enough for me to loot the item and run out. If you do get agro, head for the water nearby, although some of the mobs can swim, they drop agro it seems as soon as you get out a bit.

Now that I had the hardest half done, time to get the other one, and for this, you need to head up near the Tar Pits. The crate of foodstuffs is very easy to get in comparison to the one you just got and you should be able to get it without any hassles at all.

[53] Chasing A-Me 01
Objectives : Find A-Me 01
Rewards : XP!

[55] The Apes of Un'Goro
Objectives : Collect 2 Un'Goro Gorilla Pelts, 2 Stomper Pelts, and 2 Thunderer Pelts
Rewards : XP!

Since I was up the north end of the zone, I started killing the Gorilla's at Fungal Rock. Before you head in though, ensure you have 1 x Mithril Casing as you will need it to get A-Me 01 going again. Once you have it, start fighting your way into the cave.

The Un'Goro Gorillas, Stompers and Thunderer's occupy the cave and the drop rate for their pelts was pretty good for me, getting one nearly every time. As you fight into the cave, you want to take the first tunnel on your right, and there at the end you should see A-Me 01 lying face first.

If you have your Mithril Casing on you, you can do the escort out straight away. It's one of the easier escorts I have done as you don't get ambushed by mobs, only the general respawn on the way out. You need to escort the Ape to the base of Marshal's Refuge, and after that I ran to Torwa (near path to Tanaris) to hand in the pelts.

[55] The Mightly U'Cha
Objectives : Retrieve U'cha's Pelt
Rewards : Sellable loot

[56] The Bait for Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Using the contents of Torwa's Pouch, summon Lar'korwi and defeat him. Retrieve his head.
Rewards : Sellable loot

After you hand in the Gorilla pelts, you need to head back to Fungal Rock to find U'cha. If you enter the cave, stick to your right and follow the path to the back where it will curve around, and eventually at the other end curve around again. U'cha is all the way at the back. Even though he was level 55 (and myself only 52) I had no trouble taking him down, utilizing the space he was in to fear quite safely.

Once he was dead I fought my way back out and towards Torwa, stopping at the Eastern Pylon on the way to summon and kill Lar'Korwi. At the back of the pylon is a rock, and if you right click the Preserved Threshadon Meat you should have on you, it will place the meat on the rock. After the meat is down, place the Pheromone Mixture on top and with in seconds you should see Lar'Korwi running at you.

Although the large dinosaur is level 56, just like U'Cha he wasn't really any trouble. I threw my DoT's on him while he was running at me and feared him. By the time fear wore off he was half dead so I replaced the DoT's and feared again... dead... easy. After I had his head, I made my way back to Torwa to hand in both.

I decided to head back to Felwood and clear up the last remaining quests I had for there. If you have made the run to Ratchet for the Corrupted Water, you can hand that in at Emerald Sanctuary when you land. For the rest of the quests though, we are heading North.

[54+] Verifying the Corruption
Objectives : Destroy 2 Entropic Beasts and 2 Entropic Horrors
Rewards : XP!

My first stop was at Shatter Scar Vale for the Beasts and Horrors. Don't worry about the elite tag as the mobs you need to kill aren't elite, only the wandering Infernals in the area which you can dodge with ease. Both the beasts and horrors look the same, yellow / green fire elementals and are all around the area.

[55] Cleansing Felwood
Objectives : Collect 15 Blood Amber
Rewards : XP!

Further north, just above Irontree Woods is a cave; Irontree Cavern. In the cave you will find the Warpwood Elementals and they will drop the Blood Amber, usually one every time. You should have no trouble pulling these singularly, even inside the cave.

When you hand this quest in, you get the option for further quests; Salve via Hunting, via Gathering or via Skinning. If you ask Maybess for a Cenarion Beacon, you will be able to loot Corrupted Soul Shards when killing certain mobs. The same beacon also allows those with the Herbalism ability to see Fel Creep. Skinners though will most likely already be collecting these as they can be skinned without the beacon. First time hand-ins for all three yield 4200 xp!

Each hand in nets you 2 x Cenarion Plant Salve. These plant salve's are used on the corrupted plants around the zone, and well worth doing as each plant you use it on will yield you 550xp! Using the salve on a Corrupted Songflower will convert it to a cleansed songflower and right clicking that will give you a buff that increases your chance for a critical strike by 5% while increasing all your stats by 15.

Finding and cleansing a corrupted wildblosson will reward you with a few Wildblossom Berries that heal 1933 health over 27 sec and increases your Stamina by 10 for 10 minutes. If you manage to find a Corrupted Whipper Root you will receive an item that restores 700 to 900 health, while a Corrupted Night Dragon will result in an item that restores 394 to 456 mana and 394 to 456 health. Please note the last two are usually a little more rare than the first...

[55] Deadwood of the North
Objectives : Kill 5 Deadwood Den Watchers, 5 Avengers, and 5 Shamans.
Rewards : XP

If you run to the very north end of the main path, you will find Nafien and this furbolg will give you the quest to go and kill the Deadwood at Felpaw Village. The only difficulty really with this quest, is sometimes finding the mobs. These are the higher level furbolgs to the ones you killed last time, and like their lower level friends, they are also killed to raise Timbermaw faction, a faction a lot of people go after.

If there are people there just ask to join up for the quest killing, or come back later. The Shaman's will be the toughest mobs to kill as they nuke, but a cast of Curse of Tongues will help solve that pretty quick.

[55] Deadwood Ritual Totem
Objectives : Take the Deadwood Ritual Totem inside Timbermaw Hold and see if one of the furbolgs there will find a use for the item
Rewards : XP!

While killing the furbolgs, you may see a Deadwood Ritual Totem drop, this item begins the quest. The tricky part though, is you need to be at least neutral faction with the furbolg to hand in. If you do raise your faction high enough, you need to find Kernda inside the tunnels that join Felwood to Winterspring.

[55] Dousing the Flames of Protection
Objectives : Douse the flames of the four braziers of protection
Rewards : XP!

If, last time you were in Felwood, you collected the water sample from the moonwell for the Collection of the Corrupted Water quest, you would have done the running around the barrens etc. After all of that, you need to head into Shadow Hold which is the back cave at Jaedenar.

If you head into the cave, the first main area you come to will have the brazier of pain, and just a little further in, the brazier of Hatred. Watch out for the Legionnare's as they have a knockback effect which can not only interrupt your spells, but knock you into adds.

The tunnel is fairly easy to navigate, there's only one real way to go. Continue down the main path and eventually you will come into a large open room which has both the Suffering and Malice braziers. Once you have got those, head back out to hand in and get the next step.

[55] A Strange Red Key
Objectives : Search through Jaedenar to discover what the Blood Red Key is used for
Rewards : XP!

While fighting in the cave, you may see a Blood Red Key drop, this is to free Captured Arko'narin who is inside the cage where the brazier of pain is. Handing in the key eventually leads to an escort quest in which you escort Arko'narin down to where the last two brazier's are and then back up. It is up to you if you choose to do this, but even if you don't, handing in the key alone nets you over 5k xp!

[58] A Final Blow
Objectives : Kill Moora and Salia, and retrieve Shadow Lord Fel'dan's Head
Rewards : +10 Intellect, +10 Spirit, +9 Agility Cloth Belt

After you have doused all the flames and handed in, the next step requires you to head back into Shadow Hold, only this time further in. If you head back down to where the last two braziers are, you should see a small water area there with oozes. Fight through the oozes and up the other side, continueing down the tunnels where you will enter a large room with lots of mobs.

The first mob you will most likely encounter in this room is Rakaiah who you will need to kill if you decided to do the escort quest. Either way, you need to clear this entire room to continue on, and most of the mobs seem to come singularly even though they are so close.

Once you have cleared that room, continue fighting down the tunnels where you will come to a round-ish room that leads you left or over a bridge... go left. Eventually you will come to a larger room and be facing the three mobs you need. Clear all around this room before engaging the trio as you may need the space to fear.

I focused on the two Succubi first as they were lower level, and then honed in on Shadow Lord Fel'dan. It's handy to ensure you are soulstoned here as you can have a bit of trouble, but if you are prepared, and don't get any adds, you should have little trouble slaughtering them. Once done, head back up and hand in!

The following two quests are the start of An Imp's Request, the level 50 Warlock only quest. It is completely up to you if you start it now, but these two steps net you about 10k xp... so worth it.

[52] Hot and Itchy
Objectives : Bring a piece of felcloth to Impsy
Rewards : XP!

[52] The Wrong Stuff
Objectives : Collect 10 Rotting Wood and 4 Bloodvenom Essence
Rewards : XP!

For the piece of felcloth, you can just head up to Jadefire Run, it should drop relatively quickly. The Rotting Wood are from the Ironwood Tree's and the Essence from the slime right near Impsy. Overall I had a pretty good drop rate and it was nice and easy xp. The next step requires you to retrieve items from Sunken Temple. If you did decide to do these, you can combine 'The Wrong Stuff' with the ooze quest from The Undercity;

[52] A Sample of Slime
Objectives : Collect 5 of the Corrupted Felwood Samples
Rewards : XP!

Just like in Un'goro, any slime will do. And just like before, you need to collect samples before testing them back in The Undercity, only this time you want the small bowl full of orange goo. I had a lot better conversion rate with this one, only taking 6 samples to get the 5 pure.

[55] Melding of Influences
Objectives : Bring a Merged Ooze Sample to Chemist Fuely
Rewards : XP!

After you have completed the Un'goro and Felwood slime samples, you are given the next step which takes you back to Un'Goro to ...um ... mate oozes. As much of a pain as it is to run all the way back to Un'Goro, the 7000 xp I got at level 54 makes it totally worth it.

You need to find a Primal Ooze, these are the browny colored ones. When you get close to one, right click the barrel to release the Felwood Ooze and then kill the result. Return to Chemist Fuely to complete. Done.

Azshara and Burning Steppes

Started at level 55
Finished at level 56

Wanting to delay my travels in the Plaguelands, I decided to check out Azshara, and although I was probably a tad high for most mobs, it made for quick and easy killing. Before you head out there though, run and see Belgrom Rockmaul outside the Hall of the Brave in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar. He will give you a quest that sends you to Azshara, as will Chemist Cruely in The Apothecarium in The Undercity.

If this is your first trip to Azshara, take a flight from Orgrimmar to Splintertree Post in Ashenvale. From there you will run east where you will eventually cross a small bridge and end up in Azshara. Just in on the right you should see a small camp of sorts, this is the Alliance Flight Path / Outpost, but there is a Tauren named Loh'atu there that will give you two quests.

[47] A Land Filled with Hatred
Objectives : Kill 6 Haldarr Satyr, 2 Tricksters, and 2 Felsworn
Rewards : XP!

[47] Spiritual Unrest
Objectives : Kill 6 Highborne Apparitions and 6 Highborne Lichlings
Rewards : XP!

Just across the path from Talrendis Point, the Alliance outpost, you will find Shadowsong Shrine and the Highborne you need to kill. They are scattered all over the area from basically the river across to Haldarr Encampment, which is the camp you need for the Satyr's. Both quests are quick and easy, and although slightly lower level, still net you some ok XP.

After you have done those two, time to move onto the Horde Outpost to pick up another quest and our flight path. I have marked it out on the map, and basically any route in land will take you to it. You will have to run past mobs however.

[52] Stealing Knowledge
Objectives : Find the Tablets of Beth'Amara, Jin'yael, Markri, and Sael'hai
Rewards : XP!

If you make your way back to the main path and continue along, you will eventually come to the Ruins of Eldarath. When you see the path fork, you want to take the right one that leads down and around, the straight ahead route is a dead end. The tablets are scattered all over the ruins, usually in multiple places at once so keep your eyes open. You are looking for:

Sael'hai is a large yellow crystal
Jin'yael is small and light blue
Beth'Amara is a bight pink and
Markri is green

[52] Seeping Corruption
Objectives : Fill all 4 Empty Vials
Rewards : XP!

Chemist Cruely would have given you a box, that if you open, will contain four empty Vials. You need to fill one at each of the pools that are along the coast. They are right along the water's edge, and fairly easy to spot. Kill your way through the Naga and fill Vial 1 at Pool 1, 2 at 2, so on and so forth. Pools 2, 3 and 4 are actually all near each other.

[53] Betrayed
Objectives : Kill 10 Blood Elf Reclaimers, and 10 Blood Elf Surveyors before seeking out Magus Rimtori's camp.
Rewards : XP!

[53] Kim'jael Indeed!
Objectives : Search for Kim'jael's Compass, Scope, Stuffed Chicken and Wizzlegoober
Rewards : XP!

Both of these can be done in the same area. If you head around to the North part of the zone, you should be able to find Thalassian Base Camp relatively easily. Before you start killing though, head to the top of the hill not far from it to find Kim'Jael. You can access the top via the North side of the kill, and Kim'Jael is the Goblin at the top.

Once you have both quests you can head in. The Reclaimers and Surveyors are all around and you should have no trouble with the kill count. Once done, you want to head to the cliff edge where you will find a Kaldorei Tome of Summoning. Once you have completed your kill count, this Tome will complete your quest for you.

[56] Betrayed
Objectives : Destroy the arcane focusing crystal tied to Magus Rimtori and then slay her
Rewards : XP!

The Tome gives you the following step in which you need to attack one of the three crystals around the edges, doesn't matter which one. When you have destroyed it, a Blood Elf guard will spawn, and once he is near death, Magus Rumtori will follow.

A fairly easy fight, she will ice root you at one point, but DoT's make pretty short work of her. Once dead, loot her head and you're done. If you have collected the items needed for Kim'jael, found inside crates all around the camp, return to the top of the hill to hand that in, and then head back to Valormok.

[52] Delivery to Archmage Xylem
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Sael'hai to Archmage Xylem in Azshara
Rewards : XP!

[52] Delivery to Jes'rimon
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Jin'yael to Jes'rimon in Orgrimmar
Rewards : XP!

[52] Delivery to Magatha
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Beth'Amara to Magatha in Thunder Bluff
Rewards : XP!

[52] Delivery to Andron Gant
Objectives : Bring the Tablet of Markri to Andron Gant in Undercity
Rewards : XP!

After you turn in the four tablets to Jediga, you are asked to make four deliveries. Before you hearth off, run along the base of the cliffs and not far along you will come across Sanath Lim-yo, an Elf that will teleport you up to the top of the cliffs. From there you will see a path leading further up, eventually to a tower. At the top of the tower you will find the Archmage Xylem.

Jes'rimon can be found in The Drag in Orgrimmar, this is the same guy you got the white claws for in Un'Goro. Magatha is on the Elder Rise in Thunderbluff while Androm Grant is in The Apothecarium in The Undercity. At 54 I got 2550xp for delivering the tablets and 3100 for each letter they give you to take back to Jediga, not bad.

[53] Kim'jaei's 'Missing' Equipment
Objectives : Find Some Rune
Rewards : XP!

After I had returned to Jediga, I made my way back up to the Ruins of Eldarath to look for the Rune. You need to be killing the Spitelash Siren's, Myrmidon's, Enchantress' and Battlemaster's. I got my rune off a Siren, and they are said to have the higher drop rate. Note that the Spitelash Guard's will not drop it for you.

Once you have it, hand it into Kim'jaei. That's it, Azshara done!

Burning Steppes doesn't really have a lot of quests, most of them sending you into Blackrock Depths and Spire, but it's a quick zone to get out of the way.

If you haven't been there before, it can be a bit confusing. You want to head to Thorium Point in Searing Gorge and then run South. If you run straight south from Thorium Point you should be able to see a path leading up into the mountains, and if you follow that you will see large double doors.

You need to head through those doors, into Blackrock Mountain and then follow the path around. When you come to the main open area, turn left and follow the path around, under the chain and then go through the second opening, basically opposite where you came in. Don't go through the first, lots of elites.

If you go through the second, you should come out in Burning Steppes, so follow the ramp down to the path, take it to your left and follow it along. Eventually it will fork off, you want to take the left again and then head across country when it ends. You are looking for Flame Crest (see map).

[52] Dreadmaul Rock
Objectives : Find out what became of Sha'ni Proudtusk
Rewards : XP!

You pick this quest up from Badlands, and once you are at Flame Crest, you want to head off to the left to Dreadmaul Rock. You will see the big red ogre's, and hopefully the path that leads to the top of the mountain there. At the very top, in front of the small cave there you will find Sha'ni's remains, and if you right click them, her ghost will appear for you to complete the quest.

[53] Krom'Grul
Objectives : Recover Sha'ni's Nose-Ring from Krom'Grul
Rewards : +10 Stamina, +6 Spirit Ring

After you speak to Sha'ni's ghost, she will ask you to recover her ring. It drops from Krom'Grul and he can spawn in multiple locations. The first place to check is the large cave on the ground level, usually in the back room. If he's not in there, he may be in the small cave up the top or around the back of the mountain, make good use of your eye.

The ring is handed back in at Kargath so hold onto it for now.

[54] Rise of the Machines
Objectives : Collect 10 Fractured Elemental Shards
Rewards : XP!

The shards drop from the War Reavers scattered around the Ruins of Thaurissan. Drop rate is on the good side which is great because these can be a real pain. They have a knockback effect which, if you get multiple reavers on you, makes it almost impossible to get off non-instant spells. I killed these as I came across them while doing other quests.

[50] Tablet of the Seven
Objectives : Find the tablet, copy its text
Rewards : XP!

In amongst the Ruins of Thaurissan will be a statue, and at the base of the statue, the tablet you need. You may have to kill a few dwarves to get into it.

[52] Broodling Essence
Objectives : Collect 8 Broodling Essence
Rewards : XP!

This is the fun quest... The mobs you need are in the west part of the zone, the dragon whelp broodlings. Unfortunately they are amongst roaming elites, but they are slow and you can keep our of their way. The tricky part though, is you need to use the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 on them before you start attacking as any hit from them interrupts the casting. The hard part is you also need to be directly on top of them in order to cast it.

I used my Succubus for it, sent her in to get agro while I used the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900, and then once it landed pulled agro back. If the broodling dies while the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 is still active, it will spawn a crystal, which when looted will give you the essence. Just keep your eyes peeled for the elites...

That's pretty much it, the rest of the quests send you into the Blackrock Mountain instances. Head back to Kargath to hand in, and when you hand in Rise of the Machines, the second step sends you out to Lotwil, he's the guy out near the rock elementals.

Western Plaguelands

Started at level 56
Finished at level 57

To get to Western Plaguelands, you simply have to run to the eastern end of Tirisfal Glades. You will see an encampment on the borders edge, and before you go starting any quests, be sure to see Argent Officer Garush. He will give you an Argent Dawn Commission which is a Trinket you will want to wear while fighting in either of the Plaguelands.

When you kill mobs wearing this trinket, they have a chance to drop scourgestones which you can hand in for Argent Dawn Faction. There are three types of scourgestones : Minion's Scourgestone's which drop off the lower level mobs (51-55 ish), Invader's Scourgestone's which drop off the mid level mobs (55-58 ish), and Corruptor's Scourgestone's which drop off level 59+ mobs.

Up until 'honored' you will gain Argent Dawn faction from simply killing the non elite mobs in the Plaguelands, Scholomance, and Stratholme, so a lot of people will advice to hold onto the scourgestones until honored before starting to hand them in. Thankfully they stack up to 100! (Elite mobs give you faction until you reach Revered status. Named Elite mobs always give you faction.)

Ok, so once you have your Argent Dawn Commission, throw it on and lets get to questing!

[53] Scarlet Diversions
Objectives : Destroy the command tent and place the Scourge banner at the Scarlet Crusade's base camp
Rewards : XP!

When you start in Western Plaguelands, you will do a bit of running back and forth between camps in the zone and the Bulwark, this is the first. Just between Felstone Field (first farm) and Dalson's Tears (second) you will find the Scarlet Crusade's base camp. Before you go running in though, ensure you have collected the 'Flame in a Bottle' from the crate at the quest givers feet!

When you are ready, make your way into the camp and start clearing. A little word of advice : clear all around the camp before heading in. The Invokers will be the hardest if you get multiple of as their nukes bring you and pet down extremely quickly, and of course Medics are a pain, they heal. the Hunter's are ok, but as they send the pet in and stand back, they can agro nearby mobs.

Once you are ready, and the camp is clear, go and right click on the tent there to burn it, and once you have done that you can right click the banner in your inventory to plant it. Head back and hand in. Once you have handed in, you will be sent to Shadow Priestess Vandis who is on the other side of the path.

[53] Target : Felstone Field
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at Felstone Field and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

[52] Better Late Than Never
Objectives : The ramblings of the ghostly woman indicated that she needed a package delivered
Rewards : XP!

The first of the Cauldron quests is oddly enough, at the first field on your left as you pass through W.Plaguelands. You should have no troubles at all with this field as the mobs are low 50's and easily single pulled. If you fight close to the big cauldron in the middle, eventually Cauldron Lord Bilemaw will spawn, he is who you need to kill. When he's dead he will drop a key that will now allow you to open up the Cauldron and collect a sample. Complete the quest at the cauldron and be sure to right click again to get the quest that sends you back to Vandis.

Before you go running off though, head to the top back room of the farm house on the edge of the farm. You will need to clear your way up, and if you play with sound on, will probably hear a female voice calling out for help. Upstairs you will find a ghost of Janice Felstone who will mention something about a package she needs delivered.

The package she is talking about is inside the barn next to the house and after right clicking it, you will need to head to the Undercity. Once there, speak with a census officer located near guild and tabard registration, who will then direct you to Jeremiah Felstone just near there. Jeremiah gives you half of a good luck charm which you are to return to Janice so make your way back to Felstone Field, stopping past The Bulwark to hand in the cauldron quest and collect the next one.

[54] Two Halves Become One
Objectives : Locate the other half of the Good Luck Charm somewhere on the Felstone Farm
Rewards : +13 Shadow Resistance Necklace

On your way back into W.Plaguelands, stop off again at Felstone Field and return the half-charm to Janice. Now you need to find the other half of the charm, this drops from a Jabbering Ghoul who spawns outside in the field, not far from the Scarlet pack. If he's not up, hang around as the Scarlet mobs like to attack and kill him. When he spawns, kill and loot the other half of the charm, right click either part to make it complete and then give it to Janice.

[55] Target: Dalson's Tears
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at Dalson's Tears and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

[55] Mrs. Dalson's Diary
Objectives : Locate the contents inside the Dalson Cabinet
Rewards : XP!

The second cauldron quest is just like the first, fight close to the cauldron until Cauldron Lord Malvinious spawns, loot the key and then see the cauldron to complete the quest and complete the second stage. Although the mobs at Dalson's Tears will also be green, don't become too lax as these can still kill you if you're not paying attention. Some of the mobs spawn worms when they die, that if you don't attend to quickly, will soon munch away your health. Other's lower your stamina while another lot again will give you a disease that can really hurt!

Once you are done at the cauldron, you want to fight inside the barn to locate a diary lying on the barn floor. Getting in here can be a little trickier than the last camp as the Scarlet like to wander directly in front of the entrance. I actually came in from behind the barn and hugged the wall to the entrance. Once inside, right click the book to get the 'completed' message. Note : No quest enters your log for this series, no idea why.

Once you have seen the diary, head outside to behind the barn and farmhouse till you see a Wandering Skeleton. Again he may not be up straight away so hang around and kill to you see him. If you have seen the diary, when you kill him he will drop a Dalson Outhouse Key, you use this key on the outhouse there. When you use the key, Farmer Dalson will spawn and attack you, kill him.

Farmer Dalson will also drop a key, a Dalson Cabinet Key. The Cabinet you are looking for is in the top back room of the farmhouse there, and when you open the cabinet you will get the XP (only xp for this quest it seems) as well as a couple of green items. Once done, head back to the Bulwark to hand in the Cauldron quest.

[55] Target: Writhing Haunt
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at the Writhing Haunt and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

[55] The Wildlife Suffers Too
Objectives : Kill 8 Diseased Wolves
Rewards : XP!

The third in the Cauldron series sends you to the Writhing Haunt, which is basically on the opposite side of the main path to Dalson's Tears. The mobs here start raising in level a bit, and the 'freezing ghouls' can cause a bit of trouble if you have multiple mobs on you as they will do just what their name says... freeze you. Once you see Cauldron Lord Razarch, kill, loot and speak to the Cauldon.

Now, just to be tricky, this farm has two houses. If you stand in between the two houses facing the cauldron, you want the house that will be on your left. Inside will be Mulgris Deepriver, a Tauren face down on the floor. She will ask you to kill the diseased wolves which can be found all over. You will find some just north of the Writhing Haunt, but if you are having trouble, head to the cliff area just above Dalson's Tears. I have marked the spots I found the most wolves with 'W' on the map.

[56] The Wildlife Suffers Too (Part 2)
Objectives : Kill 8 Diseased Grizzlies
Rewards : XP!

After you have killed the wolves, you need to head back to Mulgris to hand in, and this time she will ask you kill the Grizzlies. These are much easier to find, located just behind the Writhing Haunt up to the path and just on the other side. I have marked them out as 'G' on the map.

After you have killed the bears and handed in to Mulgris again, the next step sends you to Thunder Bluff. A simple hand in, you need to head to the Elder Rise. The result is a 36 Armor, +6 Agility, +6 Intellect, +6 Spirit, +7 Stamina Cloak.

[58] Target: Gahrron's Withering
Objectives : Defeat the Cauldron Lord at Gahrron's Withering and secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron
Rewards : XP!

The fourth and final cauldron you have to complete, these mobs are a step higher again, but overall I had little trouble, just take your time.

When you have completed all four cauldron quests, and handed in the final one to Shadow Priestess Vandis, head over to High Executor Derrington. He has a simple two click quest that will not only net you around 9300xp for doing nothing, but you get to choose between a +11 Stamina Sword, or a +11 Intellect Sword. No matter which sword you choose, you will receive a +12 Stamina, +5 Spirit neck item. Not bad for walking about 5 feet!

Also, after completing all four cauldron quests, you can do further xp / faction quests at each farm. If you see Apothecary Dithers at the Bulwark, she will give you a Vitreous Focuser, this will allow you to collect Osseous Agitators, Somatic Intensifiers, and Ectoplasmic Resonators. These items, along with Runecloth and an Arcane Quickener which Apothecary Dithers also sells, will allow you to use the cauldrons for a little extra XP as well as faction.

Felstone Field
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 6 x Osseous Agitators

Dalson's Tears
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 5 x Somatic Intensifiers

Writhing Haunt
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 5 x Somatic Intensifiers

Gahrron's Withering
- 1 x Arcane Quickener
- 4 x Pieces of Runecloth
- 4 x Ectoplasmic Resonators

Just like the scourgestones, these drop off varying level mobs. The Osseous Agitators' drop from your lower level mobs, the Ectoplasmic Resonators from the higher, and the Somatic Intensifiers from everything in between. These stack up to 20 and I usually don't worry about handing them in till either the end of a run or when I am running out of inventory room. The Arcane Quickener's don't stack, so you can't carry too many of these on you at one time.

Each hand in at the cauldron's will net you around 500 or so xp each time, as well as varying amounts of Argent Dawn faction, the higher cauldron's obviously giving more.

How to get exhaled with Argent Dawn

2007-02-23T07:38:00.000-08:00

After spending hours of harvesting reputation to get to Exalted I thought I would share my experiences and what I consider the best way to get to exalted. The first thing I will recommend is never turning in Scourgestones or use Argent Dawn Valor Tokens until you are more than 50% through Revered. The best way to get reputation is at follows:

Neutral through to Friendly (50%)
Kill any undead mob within the WPL and EPL area.

Friendly (50%) through to Honoured (50%)
Kill any elite undead mob in WPL, EPL or in the instances.

Honoured (50%) through to Revered (50%)
Kill undead bosses.

Revered (50%) to Exalted
Turn in Sourgestones, cleanse the cauldron and Healthy Scales.

EXPLANATION OF HOW

Cleansing the Cauldron
To cleanse the cauldron you have to have completed all parts of the 'Target:' quests given out by High Priestess MacDonnell in Chillwind Camp.
Using your Vitreous Focuser collect Ectoplasmic Resonators off the corpses of the undead around 'Gahrron's Withering Cauldron'. The reason why you cleanse 'Gahrron's Cauldron' over and over again is because it has a higher reputation reward. You will also be collecting scourgestones but please keep these till you are pasted 1/2 through Revered with the Dawn. Once you collect 4x Ectoplasmic Resonators, 4x Runecloth go to Alchemist Arbingto in Chillwind Camp and buy 1x Arcane Quickener. Then go back to the cauldron and use it. Doing this will give the player 25 (27-28 if Human) reputation points with the Argent Dawn. I would collect around 80x Ectoplasmic Resonators at a time and cleanse the cauldron twenty times. This quest can be done over and over again. However the 'Arcane Quickeners' cost money, 45 silver. The runecloth is picked up off the corpses of the undead mobs, and you usually have more than you need.

Using only the Cauldron quest to gain reputation from Revered (50%) to Exalted you will need all of the following:

1680x Ectoplasmic Resonators
1680x Runecloth
420x Arcane Quickener (Total cost: 189 gold (PvP Rank 3: 168 gold))

Scourgestones
Most undead mobs in WPL, EPL and the instances drop Scourge Stones of some kind. Collect these stones and put them in your bank. They will stack to 250 so you shouldn't run out of space. As the reputation gains become harder after you get passed 50% in Revered I would keep them to use then. You will get 25 (27-28 if Human) points of reputation for each turn in of 20x Minion's Scourgestones, 10x Invader's Scourgestones, and 1x Corruptor's Scourgestones. However, the Argent Dawn quests at Revered and Exalted require some tokens (Revered: 10, Exalted: 25) so you will have to spend some for those quests. Once you turn in the stones you might as well use the tokens to gain addition reputation.

Amounts of ScourgeStones needed to get to Exalted from Revered (50%):

Minion's Scourgestones: 4200*
Invader's Scourgestones: 2100*
Corruptor's Scourgestones: 210*

*These figures include spending the Valour Token reward from turning in the stones.

Healthy Dragon Scales
This quest is from picking up Healthy Dragon Scales from within Scholomance off of Plagued Hatchlings and returning them to Betina Bigglezink at Lighthopes Chappel in EPL. Each scale is a quest itself, start the quest and then talk to Betina Bigglezink. You can carry as many of these scales as you can. The drop rate of these scales is low as the prereg quest is Plagued Hatchlings and that isn't done by many people. Each scale gives the player 50 (55 for Humans) reputation points with the Argent Dawn.

Total number of scales needed from Revered (50%) to Exalted: 210

Since the 1.11 patch there are more options for getting to exalted.

Turning in the repeatable quests for the different collectiable items:

For insignia of the crusade turn-ins:
crypt fiend parts
bone fragments

For insignia of the dawn turn-ins:
savage frond
cores of elements
dark iron scraps

gets you 10 rep with AD each turn-in of 30.

At Revered, turning in 7 each of the insignias of the dawn and crusade
will get you one of the superior armaments of the dawn (I would take the 18 slot bag) You also get 100 ad rep. for first turn in.
So, not only do you get an 18 slot bag, but you get 380 ad rep total with it.

You can repeat this 6 times for each of the unique items, for a total AD rep
of 2280

The epic line takes 45 insignias of each to turn in for an item. If you turn in all 6 of those, you get 5400 AD rep.

So, for 9360 bone/crypt items (and 9360 of the others), you can get 7680 AD rep, a nice bag, and some shardable stuff.

Profession Guide Mining

2007-02-23T07:31:00.000-08:00

Mining is the art of finding rocks...and make boat-loads of money while doing it :)

Jewel crafting depends a lot on mining, so mining will be very hot the next few months, while people stockpile mats for leveling jewel-crafting. I suggest keeping most of your ore in ore-form and also hang on to every gem you mine. And then sell it all in the frenzy of jewel-crafting :)

It's not very hard to level mining, you just have to be patient. As with herbalism, the best way to do it, is to find a nice 10 minute route, run it, log, wait 30 mins and repeat. Mounts help a lot, so I recommend waiting until 60 before you start focusing on leveling it.

This is the skill needed to mine the nodes needed for leveling it:

Copper - 1
Tin - 65
Iron - 125
Mithril - 175
Dark Iron - 230
Small Thorium Veins - 250
Rich Thorium Veins - 275

1-65. Copper, 80s-1G/20 on AH: Run either Durotar or Westfall for this part. In Westfall just skirt the edges of the map and leveling should go quick. In Durotar, the Harpy Canyon outside OG is packed with Copper, so head there.

66-125. Tin, 60-80s/20 on AH: This is where a lot of people choke on mining. This is the hardest part, but go to Wetlands and you will be fine :) In wetlands there is an Alliance quest for something called Incendicite in a cave filled with spiders. Mining this gives you skill-ups in normal mining, as if it were tin. In addition to these spawns in the cave, there is also tin. About 15-20 nodes all in all.
Map: http://www.thottbot.com/?m=12253

126-175. Iron, 1.5G-3G/20 on AH: Head to East Arathi Highlands and move from the bottom to the top of the east side. About 3 caves (2 troll ones and one ogre) filled with nodes plus some out in the open as well.

176-230 (or to 250). Mithril, 2.5G-3.5G/20 on AH: Head to East Badlands where all the small whelps are. Ride through the canyon, log 30 minutes, ride back down, repeat. About 15 nodes here.

(231-275). Dark Iron, 5-10G EACH on AH (depends a lot on how far people are raid wise on your server, since people use a lot of Dark Iron early on in MC, but not really later on). You really need to be able to stealth or FD to do this, otherwise stick with mithril until 250 and Small Thorium veins. Farming Dark Iron requires someone to help reset an instance, and then you follow this guide to Dark Iron Farming in BRD: http://neckface-graffiti.blogspot.com/

250-275. Small Thorium vein, 3-4G/20 on AH: There are a few places to do this:
Felwood: http://www.thottbot.com/?m=6356
Burning Steppes: http://www.thottbot.com/?m=6548
Un'Goro Crater: http://www.thottbot.com/?m=8721

Burning Steppes would probably be the best choice; head to the ogre mountain in the NE and mine here, log 30 mins, repeat.

276-300. Rich Thorium Vein, 3-4G/20 on AH: This is where it gets interesting. Winterspring is your best bet for this. Either do laps around the Demon Canyon in the south; You can lap all the valleys, except a small one, in 10 minutes flat. It used to not be camped, but word has gotten out. 2-5 spawns can be expected per run depeding on popularity :) Or you can lap the whole of WS, except the Demon Canyon: http://www.dreadlords.net/60miner.shtml

You can get Arcane Crystals from these veins. These are worth 20-30G each. There are also a few other gems you can get, but these only sell for around 3-5G each.
My suggestion is hanging on to all of the gems, since they will be needed for jewel-crafting. It's also better to keep these from an inflationary point of view, since TBC will cause a lot of inflation. 30G now is a decent amount of gold, but it won't be in TBC. Keeping your money in gems, ores and bars minimizes the effect of inflation on you, since they will sell for a lot more in TBC. Just a little crash course in economics :D

Grinding Reputation In Silithus (Cenarion Circle)

2007-02-21T07:57:00.000-08:00

I wrote this exact post on my guild site, so if you recognize it from there, I guess you know who I am :)

Many people have asked how I have ground up my reputation with the Cenarion Circle so quickly.

My rep gains and notes may be off slightly. I had to try and recall much of it, and find stuff on the net. Please check your rep gains after each, to make sure you still get rep for dukes at honored for example (because you don’t at revered)

Neutral to Friendly (3000 rep)

I would suggest just nose to the grindstone killing Twilight Cultists and gathering sets of clothes and Encrypted Text. Don’t turn them in yet. Mail them to an alt and back to yourself if needed. (When I mail them back, I mail a cowl, robe, and mantle before mailing more of another type. Just to keep them together so I can grab them quicker from the bank)

Get in any group you can that is killing cultists, templars, or dukes. A little more rep, goes faster in a group, and is more fun than solo grinding.

Killing Cultists, flamereaver, or keeper 1 rep
Killing trash mobs in AQ20 3 rep
Killing a summoned Templar 5 rep
Killing a summoned Duke 10 Rep
Killing a boss in AQ20 133 rep+

Druids can gain faction points by completing theie quests to get Bear form, Cure poison, and Aquatic form. There is also one in Maraudon from Desolace gives faction points also. The quest for DM East from Moonglade can be returned for reputation, too.

Friendly to Honored (6000 rep)

Silithus quests and more grind killing of Cultists.
Killing Cultists, flamereaver, and keeper still gives 1 rep
Killing trash mobs in AQ20 3 rep
Killing a summoned Templar 5 rep
Killing a summoned Duke 10 Rep
Killing a boss in AQ20 133 rep+

Quests;

Armament of War 100 rep
Brann Bronzebeard’s Lost Letter 100 rep
Breaking the Code 100 rep

Don’t waste crests doing abyssal crests quest. Use them to summon dukes.

By the end A LOT of it is Encrypted Twilight Texts. Pages are now going for about 1g per page (Don’t pay more…work together to keep costs down), so 10g per 100 rep. That gets damn spendy, but worth it to me. Here is how I fund it;

It costs about 17g per Duke to summon one if you bought the mats yourself. If you saved and gathered mats from all you have done up until Honored you should have a bunch to get started for free.

The big money maker is the Abyssal (leather/cloth/etc) leggings of (striking/sorcery). I am getting about 100-140g for each set, and they sell well. I turn right around and buy Encrypted Texts with this money. About each 2nd or 3rd Duke drops a set. That way one pair of leggings turned into text pages works out to about 1000-1500 rep.

The signets have also been selling quite well from killing dukes. About 30g each on my server.

I keep an alt parked in UC. I send legs to him, he auctions, buys texts, and mails them back to cut down travel time. I also use him for some mats for Logistics quests. I had a hard time finding Heavy Armor Kits on AH, so I ground his Leatherworking up to 150 and make my own. If you need any I keep him parked there for that, and will make them at cost for any conventus member.

Double Felwood Food!

2007-02-21T07:53:00.002-08:00

Ok most every player should know by now about the felwood foods. Whipper root tubers,night dragons breath, windblossom etc.
They are very handy in pvp and pve as the whippers and night dragons are on seperate timers from regular healing potions so basically u can heal yourself for 1750(major healing)+900(whipper)+450(night) for a whopping total of 3100 health. they are also only on 2 minute cooldown.The best part is they are free!

Well i found that if u find a plant with the food in it, u open the the dialogue box(after cleansing it if needed), zoom in so there is minimal distance between the message u click on and the plant. left click the message to get the food as normal, then quickly right click the plant again. about 50-75% of the time if u did it fast enough another dialogue box will appear and u can do it again and get double food.
Not sure if this has to do with a laggy server but it works all the time for me on destromath and illidan(both fairly high pop servers). Im not sure if this was ever posted so i figured i might as well spread the word. Ive been doin it for a couple months now and i can easily got 100+ whippers in about 30-45 mins(after farming for soul shards to get the plant salves). Ive actually gotten it to work 3 times on one plant before as well. Also im not positive but i have a feeling the plants become corrupted when they sit out too long. Ive actually ran back and forth for an hour gettin the plants as they spawn and 95% of them werent corrupted so i didnt have to use any salves.
