Reputation Grinding Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:42:00
Reputation is very similar to experience. Reputation is divided into a number of different levels for which players must earn reputation points to progress through. Higher reputation levels generally require more points than the previous level to progress. The exception is hated, which spans a very large number of reputation points. Reputation points, just like experience points, are gained through quests and killing various mobs. Unlike experience, it is possible to lose reputation points with some factions, either by killing members of the faction or by assisting rival factions. For rival factions, gaining reputation with one will normally decrease reputation with the other, but at a greater rate. For instance, if you kill a magram centaur, you will gain 20 points of reputation from the gelkis, but will lose 100 points from the magram. Currently there are 4 of these rival-faction pairs: Aldor (Draenei) vs. Scryers (Blood Elves), Gelkis vs. Magram (both Centaur), Steamwheedle Carte...

Newbie Battleground Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:39:00
The anti-thesis of dungeons, Battlegrounds offer a completely different experience to players. Dungeons are completed by calculated, methodical progression; the goal being to control the game rather than letting the game control you. ... PvP is quite the opposite. In PvP battlegrounds, you are not pitted against digital entities with calculated behaviors, but fellow humans with all the common sense and lack there-of that comes with being human. PvP rewards quick thinking and situational awareness: the moment you think everything is safe and good, a rogue will appear behind you and you'll have the choice of releasing your spirit now or in 6 minutes.Click Here for Rest!!!

Auction House Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:38:00
Auctions are a great place to find hard-to-get items, profession materials, and items needed for quests. Buyout As the name suggests, some auctions will allow you to instantly purchase an item instead of bidding on it (just like "Buy It Now" on eBay). There are pros and cons for both sellers and buyers with this system. For sellers, the pros include setting a reasonable Buyout may entice someone to grab the item before the auction ends. You may be able to get a slightly higher price from those who need an item right away and are willing to pay for the privilege. It is in your best interest to always include a buyout price. The only real con of setting a Buyout price is that you may set it too low and someone will snap it up and possibly turn around and sell it for more. For buyers, the main benefit is obviously getting the item instantly. You may also run into items that have a lower than average Buyout price. In this case, you may actually be able to make some money off the it...

Guide on Choosing a Guild (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:35:00
From Joining Guild s on the official site (most of the info below is based on this page): Guilds offer many benefits including free items, opportunities for groups, access to trade skill masters, quest items, and readily available trade skill ingredients through gathering guild members. You may discover that a guild greatly enhances your gameplay experience. You can meet friends, share adventures, and find people to protect you if you fight in faction versus faction combat. Typically, players in good guilds can go places and do things that players in poor guilds or no guild can't. This is especially the case at character levels 60-70, where the dungeons become very challenging. Keep in mind that guilds are run by players and not Blizzard. The quality of the guild and the guild experience depends entirely on the players in that guild. Guilds can be a grab bag where you never know what you'll get. Every guild is different. Finding a guild can be very easy. People often sit in town...

Places to farm for items for Auction House (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:31:00
Farming for reagents can be a time consuming affair, and many find it more cost efficient to just buy them off the Auction House . But as profit margins for blacksmiths are already meager at best, some still like to farm for these hard-to-get components. Be aware that many of the mobs suggested are also quest objectives, and are at peak hours hard to get at. All of these are also in contested zones, so keep an eye out for gankers if you are on a PvP server. Remember that an alchemist buddy with transmuting skills can be of great aid when you are looking for essences of different kinds.Click Here for Rest!!!

Guide to making money/gold (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:29:00
Money is used in World of Warcraft for a variety of purposes. You need it to upgrade your class and profession skills, you can use it to buy consumables, equipment, ingredients and recipes from vendors and at the Auction House (sometimes abbreviated AH in this guide), and it comes in handy when you need to get from place to place on the animal airlines (Flight Paths). The number one thing that most players want money for is to get a mount at level 30. This guide is dedicated to getting you that first 35 for your riding skill and first mount (factoring in the discount for being honored with your faction). Likewise, characters reaching level 70 will want to acquire their first flying mount as well, which represents another substantial cost.Click Here for Rest!!!

Warrior Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:27:00
Arms Fury Protection In the endgame instances, the traditional job of a Warrior is to tank. Warriors have a variety of abilities that give them strong threat production and damage mitigation. Warriors' strength also scale very well with gear. Dual-wield Fury Warriors are among the top damage dealers in the game. With the continuing addition of better gear, it is becoming more common to see warriors in raids whose sole purpose is to DPS. In solo and PvP play where aggro management is irrelevant, the warriors can produce even more fearsome damage. The Arms tree also provides many important talents that help the warriors in PvP. See: Warrior builds for a full list.

Warlock Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:25:00
Affliction Demonology Destruction Although all the three trees can enhance the damage power of the Warlocks, the playstyle of the warlocks of each specs can be very different. Affliction increases the power of the warlock's curses and damage over time spells. Demonology helps the endurance of the warlocks, by splitting damage taken with pets and better buffs from their pets, by either keeping it active or sacrificing it. Finally, Destruction allows for a mage-style of playing by improving their direct damage spells. Warlocks are widely considered to be one of the, if not the best one-on-one PvP class in the game. See: Warlock builds for a full list.

Shaman Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:24:00
Elemental Enhancement Restoration Shaman is a very versatile class. In endgame instances, their main roles are buffing and curing, as well as healing or DPS depending on spec. Restoration tree provides many wonderful abilities for those who would like to heal and support the others. Enhancement Shamans focus on dealing physical damage. They are also loved by other melee DPS for the offensive buff their totems bring. In contrast, Elemental Shamans are caster DPS who usually do their damage from range. For PvP, Enhancement is a weak choice, because it needs melee range, but lacks ways to get or stay there. Restoration maybe preferred more. Elemental is better than Enhancement but vulnerable to interrupt/silence effects as all healing and most damage spells are of the nature school. See: Shaman builds for a full list.

Rogue Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:23:00
Assassination Combat Subtlety A rogue's main purpose, either solo, in small groups, or in a raid, is maximum DPS, with crowd control as a secondary role. Assassination Rogue s are skilled at dealing massive burst damage from the back of the enemies using daggers. On the other hand, Combat Rogues are balanced with both offensive as well as defensive talents, and produce sustained damage using sword, mace or fist weapons. While the damage improvement provided by the Subtlety tree may not be as impressive as the other two, Subtlety Rogues can perform many subtle moves in PvP and easily catch the unwary enemies in surprise! See: Rogue builds for a full list.

Priest Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:21:00
Discipline Holy Shadow Holy priests are famous for their various healing spells and the protective shield, which make them the favorite healers for many people. While the traditional role of a Priest is healing, Shadow Priests, who can dish out significant single-target DPS and provide mana regeneration for the whole party, are also a common sight for end-game raids. Shadow Priests also do very well in PvP. The Discipline tree helps the mana threshold, thus it complements both Holy and Shadow. In addition to powerful healing and single-target damage, Priests can also supply players with helpful buffs. See: Priest builds for a full list.

Paladin Talent Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:20:00
Holy Protection Retribution The Paladin class is based on surviving and keeping allies alive. In endgame instances, paladins can heal, tank or dps depending on their spec. A paladin comes loaded with defensive and offensive buffs, and invulnerability spells for himself and others. The talents he chooses will augment these skills in certain ways. The Holy tree increases healing and holy damage as well as making them more difficult to interrupt; it is a great PvE and PvP build. Protection is another way to keep your allies from dying, by taking the damage yourself as a tank. This spec is required to main tank five-man instances and epic-level raid content, and is on par with both warriors and druids in the tanking hierarchy. Retribution paladins are able to produce massive damage output. It is a paladin's best PvP spec. Since Patch 2.3, it has gained popularity in endgame PvE as well. See: Paladin builds for a full list.

Mage Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:18:00
Arcane Fire Frost Mages are used as a ranged DPS class. In groups, they deal high amounts of damage to their targets, while generating a great deal of threat from monsters. They excel at doing Area-of-Effect damage (doing damage to multiple mobs at once). Mages have the greatest AoE capability of any class currently in the game. In addition, they are the weakest class at surviving having damage dealt against them. Because of this, it is advisable that another group member tanks while the mages do their thing. Mages have strong control mechanisms, such as snares, roots and crowd control. Frost mages enhance these control abilities, while fire mages specialize in sheer all-out DPS. The arcane tree remains a powerful utility tree providing strong burst DPS. See: Mage builds for a full list.

Hunter Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:16:00
Beast Mastery Marksmanship Survival The Hunter is known for his pets, his long-range DPS, and his traps. Each of his talent trees focus on improving one of these aspects. Depending on your playstyle, you may focus on one of these alone, or follow a hybrid build. Beast Mastery hunters with some Marksmanship talent points for added DPS are known to level extremely quickly and produce excellent damage output in raid. With proper control, a Beast Mastery hunter can easily take on 4 same-level mobs. If you prefer to deal most of the damage by yourself, Marksmanship is your choice. Survival Hunters excel at getting out of close range by more useful traps and more frequent stuns. See: Hunter builds for a full list.

Druid Talent Build Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:14:00
Balance Feral Combat Restoration Druids are a hybrid class that switch roles largely through shapeshifting. In their original humanoid form, they are similar to priests, able to damage their enemies with spells, buff themselves and their allies, and heal people. The restoration and balance trees enhance their healing and spell damage respectively. The cat form is geared toward stealth and melee DPS, while bear form allows them to tank. Those forms are enhanced by the Feral Combat tree, with a few special talents in restoration. Druids can acquire specialized forms for balance and restoration, but many non-raiding druid will stop short of Tree of Life Form to get extra versatility from balance or feral combat. See: Druid builds for a full list.

WoW Travel Guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:09:00
This page is a travel guide to WoW. First of all, it should be mentioned that if you want to reach some point on the map while you are still a low level, and the way is too dangerous, a good option is to have a mage portal you to the capital cities of your faction or Shattrath. Alternatively, a warlock can use Ritual of Summoning with two other players to bring you almost anywhere. Either should get you closer to where you want to go. If you are able to get a portal or a summons to Shattrath, you should consider binding your hearthstone at one of the inns there permanently. Free portals are available to each factions' capital cities near the center of this city, which can save you a lot of time and money later. Any Alliance mage level 40 or higher should have the portal spells for Ironforge, Stormwind and Exodar. However, the portal to Darnassus is only available to mages level 50 or higher. Horde Mages get the portals to Undercity, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon at level 40, and Thun...

Guide on Choosing a WoW Class (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 20:07:00
All classes in the World of Warcraft are versatile, but each one has different roles in which it excels. It helps to choose a class based on the role you think you will enjoy playing. Class es can be roughly categorized by whether they are front-line or support, whether they are best at melee (close) or ranged combat, and how easily they can be played solo (without needing to be part of a group for enjoyable play). The lines are not always clear-cut; for example, support classes can still be defined as primarily melee or ranged for the damage output they do, even though damage is not necessarily their strong point. There is significant overlap in abilities between different classes. Still, each does have its strong points, as outlined below. Although people make alts in other classes, you may find that there is one particular class which you are called to, and that fits more strongly than the others with your particular psychology and playstyle. In this sense, Blizzard's advertisi...

Instance grouping guide (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 19:59:00
Running Instances with a group of two to five other players (or even more in a Raid group) is one of the three major ways to spend time in World of Warcraft (the other two being solo play and PvP). The key to successful group PvE is working together as a team, the first and most important hurdle being good aggro management. A group with a bad mixture of classes with good team play always outperforms a group with a perfect mix of classes which doesn't properly work together.Click Here for Rest!!!

List of All Daily Quests to do when 70 (WoW Wiki)
2008-11-05 19:50:00
Daily quests (popularly nicknamed dailies) are repeatable quests first introduced in patch 2.1. These quests have significantly better rewards than normal repeatable quests. Patch 2.2.0 saw the introduction of more daily quests for seasonal events. In Patch 2.3 new daily quests were introduced for instances, battlegrounds, fishing and cooking.You may complete up to 25 daily quests per day per character. The exact reset hour depends on the realm, but it never changes, is chosen to be in the early AM, and will not coincide with the instance reset. You can double-check by mousing over the daily quests completed out of 25 in the upper-right corner of your quest log. Prior to Patch 2.4 there was a limit of 10 daily quests per day, but was increased to the current limit to accommodate the large number of Shattered Sun Offensive daily quests. Often, a quest chain needs to be completed first to unlock the quest. All daily Skyguard, Ogri'la, and Netherwing quests require level 70 and requ...

All Basic Leveling Guide by Haunted (WoW Vault)
2008-11-05 19:45:00
All Basic Leveling Guide Most of these have been confirmed to be good, but in order to prevent overcrowding in areas I will try to list several different places, all of which should be pretty decent. More often than not, the areas will only hold one or two people maximum as far as spawn rates go - any more than that and you have too many people and too little mobs to support them. Unfortunately, because of this, you might end up somewhere that isn't quite as good as you might've hoped, and if that's the case, I apologize in advance.The levels are approximate, you may or may not have to supplement grinding for one or two levels in order to move onto the next zones early on, although most of the later parts deal mostly with areas to grind in. Also, when a level is listed next to a grind area, that means this is the level at which you can more than likely *start* grinding the mobs. You can probably *stop* grinding them about 4-5 levels past where the start level is. In fact, it's pr...
