Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

If you're a miner, the perimeter of the Charred Vale in Stonetalon Mountains is home to a lot of Mithril (and a few times Iron, copper/tin, or a lucky Truesilver).

It's also good to play the Auction House. That is, keep an eye out for Blues and Purples that are underpriced, then resell them at regular price. Or, look for high quanitites of items (causing an overall drop in price) and buy it out; then, when the price returns to regular, you can sell it all back slowly.

Also, if you're a miner, sometimes you can find small amounts of ores in the AH for cheap. For instance, if a stack of 20 Mithril were to cost 4g, and you see a few small stacks of 5 mithril ore (or bars) selling for about 50s, you can smelt it (ore) or stack it (bar) to gain some fast and easy cash.

Incomplete stacks can often times be cheaper per unit than complete stacks. However, the opposite can also be true in some circumstances. So, keep an eye out for trade goods (pearls, gems, ore, cloth, and such) that could sell for more individually or as complete stacks.

What class are you and what are your professions?

Both of those questions are extremely important for how you're going to earn your money in WoW. As for armor, you should really do dungeons for the BoP armor provided. Gnomer is getting a bit below you, but Scarlet Monestary would be a really good place to hit up with a 5-man group.

Realm Alleria
Character Astrain
Level 6 Paladin

My first day in the WoW went something like this: I materialized in front of Northshire Abby and basically stood motionless for a good long while not knowing what to do. Any passerby would have probably noticed drool slowly escaping my mouth. A female character approached, laughed at me, then opened a trade window. She had to do this a couple times before I caught on what I was supposed to do to complete her requested transaction. I received some tarnished armor and a better mace than the one I was born with. Not the best equipment but much better than what I would have been able to procure on my own for some time. I figure she sensed my confusion and took pity on me.

Afterwards I began exploring and started learning the mechanics of the game. I completed a few quests and joined the Agony guild. One thing I'd like to know is why can't anyone in this world deliver letters their damn selves? Here's what a typical quest involves:

Person A: Give letter to person B
Person B: Go to person C to get permission for A and B to do something.
Person C: Go to person D and fetch an item for A and B
Person D: Go kill E, F, G, and H to get needed materials for person C.

I really want to play as the Undead but a friend of mine from my sims online days got me into this game and she plays as Alliance. I'll probably start an undead character on a different server later.

Re: WoW: Battle Reposts
 

That kind of crap is more or less exclusive to the Human starting areas, delivering letters and crap. There's a lot of stupid quests like that around Elwynn and Westfall, Redridge and etc. I had a lot of fun in the Night Elf and Undead starting areas. The Undead quests are probably the coolest, they freakin hate everyone and eveything so you spend most of your time making horrible poisons for traitors, stealing sh*t from other undead, and all around just killing pretty much everything.

Re: WoW: Battle Reposts
 

Muahaha I can't wait...

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I'm a level 13 Human Warrior named Sobenz on the Hydraxis server; currently spending most of my time in Westfall.

I really like it, but for some reason I keep getting lag in really random places. I mean, for no reason that I can tell. My connection's fine, it just suddenly lag kicks in and I can't do anything. Its happened three times. First time I just logged out and logged back in and was fine (I actually logged into the middle of a bunch of gnolls [it was a desperate logout] and had to run over into Westfall to escape them). Second time I just died and it was fixed. Third time just happened. I logged out, haven't gone back in.

Anyway, this character was just sort of meant as a "let's see what I'm doing" character. I think in a few days, unless I find something awesome or something, I'll start my "real" character; probably something more exciting than a human warrior. Don't know what yet....


*shrugs and walks away*

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

okay Link! when you make your "real" character reroll on shadowmoon as horde and ill play with you :)

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

So how many of you are still out there?

Astrain
Lvl 40 Human Paladin
Server:Alleria

Veovis
Lvl 10 Undead Warlock
Server:Dragonblight


I would consider switching servers if anyone plays often. I don't really want to leave Alleria since it's an older server which is now full, but I might move my Horde character or just start another.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Um, I have a lvl66 Blood elf Warlock on....hm, Dragonmaw I think? Haven't played em since er...a month or so ago. Not sure when I'd play again, but if anyone was playing on that server I might stop in and see what's new.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I still don't play anymore. :D I thought of organizing a funeral for my character. :p

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

hey...i just started about 2 weeks ago on my friend's account (he got bored but has a few months left)

Realm: Stormrage (US east)
lvl 25 Blood Elf Rogue
Name: HappyRogue (surprised? :p)

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Oh, does anyone want to 'trade' :sneaky: an account with a lvl 60 Gnome warlock on European servers? :p

Actually I've never thought of selling, because a) it's illegal, b) I don't want somebody else to ruin my good name and c) I might one day want to play again.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I still play... I've been on and off the WoW so many times though, I'm sure this stint won't last long...

I got a 63 BE priest and a new 20 BE mage alt on Moonrunner...

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

How often do you play?

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

It's illegal??? You mean it's against Blizzard's rules, right?

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I sell gold to friends I meet in game. Nothing over ebay or anything like that. But if I've done a heroic with somebody a few times and they talk about how short they are on gold, I offer.

For my close friends I've leveled characters 1-70. I've gotten quite fast, hunters are usually 5 or 6 days played as my fastest class. Others are no more than 9. And if it's something I need to do to bring a friend into the game that will make my playtime more enjoyable, I think it's worthwhile.

I don't feel bad, but I've played WoW for a long time and come to the conclusion that the economy in WoW is worthless. Particularly now. The expansion made vendor sold items cost a much smaller percentage of the gold that you earn than you did pre-BC.

I don't bot. But I know people who do. WoWGlider is totally untracable by Blizzard's Warden program. That's where I draw the line. The gold I sell is always farmed by my own hand. And really, I've only sold ~50k gold, which in the grand scheme of things isn't that much.

But whatever. I'd understand if anybody felt like flaming.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Yeah that most of all. But aren't they "out to get you" or something? First of all I don't like breaking rules, second of all I don't like being caught and having to pay a fine.

I never really looked up what I could get for my account. Basicly it just has a lvl 60 lock with +660 dmg. My brother's (inactive) account has 4 lvl 60s (rogue, hunter, warrior, druid), but only the hunter has some raiding gear (between t1 and t2).

Oh yeah, maybe the biggest reason I didn't sell is that I've always looked down on people who bought or sold an account. Just as on people who buy gold. I always had enough gold, the trick is to PLAY. You either run instances, you grind, you use your professions, or you make money using the auction house.

And Thatmariolover, I think what you do is ok. As long as it's between friends, I don't mind it that much.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I've decided to take advantage of the TBC 10-day free trial. This way I can see my cute character again, have a look in some TBC areas and fool my old guildies/friends.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

i'm pretty sure you need to set up a new account for the trial, no?

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Nope. What would be the fun of testing TBC if you're not lvl 60 yet? I'm playing at the moment, it's so incredibly boring. Been there, done that.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

That's kind of how I felt after playing it awhile...

When you first walk through the dark portal is quite an experience though... All the chaos just beyond the gate and such... Then you're flown off to a normal little area that's just like any other place in WoW...

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

i dunno, i'm level 29 now (almost 30) and i'm still enjoying the game quite a bit...there is just so much to do (battlegrounds, arena, instances, raids, quests, etc.)

and most of the fun starts when you hit 60...

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Funny, that's when I usually became bored and started a new character... *strokes chin*

Now the top is 70 and I havn't even made it there yet :<

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I had a great year being lvl 60. I was raiding with one of the best guilds on the server (eventually we killed 5 Naxx bosses). I just hate the leveling.

Now the raiding has become less attractive (in my opinion) in TBC.

Edit: yay, i'm getting a Naxxramas raid together! :D Should be fun.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Do people still do any of the lvl 60 instances anymore? Aside from the Ramparts? I tried to get a group for Scholomance from lvl59 to lvl66 and couldn't get more than two people interested. Freakin warlock epic mount is pretty much impossible to do now, no one wants to run that crap anymore. Ah well.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

DM, don't you have any friends who want to help you out with a 300G epic mount? Also, tell them that the quest to summon and kill it is really fun. ;) Or ask 1 or 2 lvl 70s, they should be able to solo/duo it.

But I think they still do them on my server.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I am (or was) in a guild made up of about 30 or 40 lvl70's, and they are sort of friends, but most are too lazy to go back and do any of the old stuff (because they've been playing the game forever and have done the warlock quest like 100 times). They play the arenas, grind for rep, run the heroic dungeons now and then.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

You could try explaining your plight on the official WoW forums.

Just go to the board for whatever realm you play on and ask if there's anybody interested in helping with the quest.

I've probably done the Warlock and Paladin Epic quests 15 times apiece. If you're on Stonemaul I'd help, if you're on Illidan I can pull some strings with friends, but I'm guessing you're somewhere else.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I'm on Dragonmaw, but I'm not actually playing right now anyway. I was wondering, has anyone here ever sold or tried to sell their WoW account? I never really thought about it, but I've heard of some people getting like $500-$1000 for their account....which is just insane. But besides the money, it'd be nice to sort of, I dunno, get rid of it, heh. Although sometimes I do like to come back to play, if I could get a good offer for it, it'd be hard to pass up.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

I just noticed a nice little feature.
When you give an inactive friend (who already had a WoW account) a TBC trial and that friend pays again for at least 1 month, you get a free month. So basically 2 can play for the price of 1.

I quit, but my brother still plays.
So when my brother almost needs to pay for another month, he'll give me a TBC trial and after that I'll pay for another month of vanilla WoW. He'll get a free month. We'll just share the costs.
I'll spend my month searching for pets and mounts. :) And boosting my lvl 60 dps.

Thanks Bond:)

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

So what do you think of the newly announced expansion?

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

It sounds pretty cool.. I've actually been telling people for years that they should re do Azeroth, I just didn't think it'd affect lower levels too. I was thinking more of a 'heroic' azeroth for future end gamers.. but the idea in the expansion is much better.

I can hardly get through Azeroth these days because the quests are all spread out and inefficient compared to outland and northrend.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

Now that you mention it, I think I told somebody they should allow flying in Azeroth. Then he replied it was impossible, they'd have to remake the whole continent. I think I said 'why not?'

But the Worgen is where I really shine. I've wanted it as a playable race before TBC. :D

Btw I don't really like how the new world is just the old world... WITH LAVA.

It's cheap and it ruins the environment.

Deathwing is cool though. Made me grin so hard when they mentioned him.

Oh, 1 thing I realized: WoW free trials have never made so much sense for people who have quit. Everybody gets the new environments (WITH LAVA!). It will also be fun to roll a Gnome priest.

Re: WoW: Battle Reports
 

This made me activate my wow account again, i realized i forgot most of everything so i said fuck it, starting over as alliance human warrior on executus. I only own TBC, not WotLK.
