Ultimate Warcraft Guide

In this day's age of one stop shopping, I didn't think I'd be in a position to one stop my WoW Guide! I'd been 'shopping' around for a good all inclusive WoW Guide for a long time, and just wasn’t having....   Read more!

Not sure if this has been posted but i didnt see it anywhere. Anyways its quite simple and can easily get you a thousand gold in a day with some luck. The target is dm west and basically every mob in the first room. You have to be a ranged class with a healthy mana pool. I do it on my warlock and it works great with dots. Couple of my buddies(priest, mage) also do it fairly easily.

The spot you are going to be farming at is the ramp leading down to tendris warpwood(the big tree guy). There is a ledge on each side of this ramp. The mobs you want to target are the groups of trees and the round blue caster things. You can do the larger patrolling trees but they do punt you back so if u screw up youll get punted to the bottom and die. Simply pull a group back to the ramp then hop on either ledge on the side of the ramp near the top. They will run all the way down to the bottom then back up the ledge. If you hop to the middle they will go back to the bottom again then come after you. Then when they start getting near hop to the other ledge. During this time just start casting the second you hop on or off a ledge. Just keep repeating this till the group is dead. One thing to note though is that the tree groups have a healer called a guardian i believe who is colored purple. Do not attack him first. If you attack the regular ones a bit the healer will then begin to heal him but stays locked on him. After the first heal u can then down the healer then down everything else. It takes a bit to get used to but once u have it down its cake. Just gotta have patience with the pulls in between the patrols. Each mob drops good silver and u get greens and grey weapons a lot but the big money is with the librams.of focus that drop in here. Clearing that whole room gives you a decent chance of getting one and it only takes about 30-45 mins to clear the place. These things sell for 3-400g and they go quick.

Accelerated Leveling Guild for Alliance:

Purpose – I’ve often been asked how I level so quickly. One day you may see me at level 30, the next I could quite possibly be 35. One specific example is going from level 30 to 50 with my Main character in less than a two week period. Many people have asked me to write a quick leveling guide, so I decided to give it a shot. This guide is not for any specific class, but specifically aimed at the Alliance Faction.

Background/Experience – Level 60 Night Elf Rouge, Level 40~ Dwarf Hunter, Level 40~ Human Warrior, Level 40~ Night Elf Hunter, Level 40~ Gnome Mage. Every other class has been played to at least level 20, Most to 30~. As such, this guide will be as specific as possible up to the level 40 area, and more general knowledge afterwards.

General Ideas – We’ll start with a Night Elf, Dwarf or Gnome (Humans are boring but I have other reasons for this I will point out later). After Doing Starter quests and Intermediate quests we’ll move on to Elwynn Forest with a level advantage. This is where the actual guide begins. ALWAYS log out in an INN or a Major City for rested exp bonus. Try to get quests that are in the same area and Multiple quests with quest items that drop off of the same type mobs.

Levels (1-6) – I personally like using a Night Elf, Dwarf or Gnome. No Matter what Race you pick, Do ALL of the starter quests in your race’s starter area. You should not leave the starter area until you are minimum level 5, but I recommend staying until you are level 6 (That gets you all of your starter skills). I’m not going to go through all the starter quests here, if you need a guide for that you’ll need more help than I can provide you. Some reasons for staying in your starter area are 1.) to build your initial Reputation, so at level 40 you don’t have to worry if you have “Honor” to buy the mount for your Race. 2.) The quests will be that much easier when you move on to Elwynn Forest. Humans can follow this guide too, but will not enjoy the level advantage of the NE, Dwarf and Gnome.

Levels (6-10) – Intermediate Quests for Gnomes and Dwarves are in Dun Morogh, questing for Night Elves at this level is in Teldrassil. Again I won’t go into specifics on each quest here, This guide starts in Elwynn Forest. In general you should get to level 10 in four hours of /played time. The one thing that will help you more than anything else here are extra bags. At level 10 make your journey to Goldshire in Elwynn Forest.

Levels (10-13) – ELYWNN FOREST
Goldshire, Elywnn Forest. Here is where the meat of this guide kicks in and the secret sauce, if you will. Your going into this area with a level advantage over all the humanoids there, including 2 additional skill sets where they only have up to level 6, you have level 8 and level 10 skill sets. Get all of the quests in Goldshire: Kobold Candles, Gold Dust Exchange, The Fargodeep Mine (these are in the same area, but don’t do them yet). Go to the Stonefield Farm to the southwest of Goldshire and get the quests: Lost Necklace, Princess must Die. Go to the Maclure Vineyards to the east and speak with Billy Maclure outside of the barn about the lost necklace. He’ll tell you he wants a meat pie – kill the boars in the immediate area until you get the required amount of boar meat. Before you leave Maclure Vineyard go into the house on the east side of the farm and talk to Maybell Maclure, she’ll give you the quest “Young Lovers”. Go back to the Stonefield Farm to the West and turn in the Meat to get the Meat Pie for Billy, also go give the letter to Tommy Stonefield from Maybell Maclure. Tommy is to the west on the river bank, he’ll tell you to talk to his grandmother who will send you to talk to a guy in the Goldshire Inn – but don’t go there yet, just get the quest. Now, back to the Maclure Vineyards and give Billy the meat pie and you will get the quest “Goldtooth”. BAM!!!! This is the secret to accelerated leveling which basically just boils down to “Time Management” because now you go to the Fargodeep Mines which are between the Stonefield and Maclure farms. Go inside of the mine and demolish the entire area (remember you are doing a level 7-8 quest now at level 10 but still getting full quest exp even though it’s a breeze at this point) Inside this mine you will complete Gold Dust Exchange, Kobold Candles, Explore Fargodeep Mine AND Goldtooth. That’s FOUR quests in ONE shot. This is my basic strategy. Turn in all the quests and back in Goldshire you will now pick up quests for “Explore Jasperlode Mine, Collecting Kelp, A Fishy Peril, Further Concerns, Shipment to Stormwind ect. Now go to the immediate east of goldshire to Crystal Lake and get the Kelp for grandma, take it back to Pestle to make the potion and to back to Maclure farm to give it to Maybell, quest complete. Journey to the east on the road till you come to a bridge where Guard Thomas is. Turn in the quest from Marshal Dughan and he’ll ask you to find the bodies of two guards, the first one is straight up the river on the west side, right off the shore, the second one is in a Murloc camp. Don’t spend much time here just go get the bodies and go back to Thomas. Turn in the quest and he’ll give you follow up quests for Murloc Fins and also Protecting the Frontier (10 Prowlers and bears). Go into the Logging Camp and Talk with Sara Timberlin for the Red Linen Goods Quest and Raelan for Bundles of Trouble quest where you pick up wood piles scattered around the area. Humanoids that drop the red linen you need are in an island in the middle of the river/lake, Bears and Prowlers roam the same area around the river, northwest of the logging camp, and there is the Murloc camp where you get the Murloc Fins BAM!!!! Red Linen Goods, Bundle of Trouble, Murloc Fins, Protect the Frontier, Discover Rolf’s Fate. FIVE quests done AT THE SAME TIME. Again, Time Management. This is the KEY. Southwest to Brackwell Pumpkin Patch… go straight for Princess, ignore the two guard piglets, loot the ring and start running, the guard pigs will stop chasing. On the way back to Goldshire stop by Jasperlode mine and go in a few yards, quest complete. Back to Stonefield farm, turn in Princess and back to Goldshire to turn in Jasperlode… you just did 2 additional quests on your way back to town. At this time you should be level 12, go up to Stormwind and turn in the candles at the 2nd store inside of Stormwind, go to the dwarf district and turn in the quest for Loch Modan and get your skills from the trainer. You should have picked up the quest for Westbrook Garrison needs Help. Go to Westbrook Garrison and get the quest for the Gnoll armbands and Hogger which are just to the north of the garrison. At this point you should be able to solo Hogger. Turn in the quests at Westbrook and Goldshire and get the quest to go to Sentinel Hill in Westfall. Congratulations – Your done with Elywnn Forest in RECORD time. Again, it’s all about getting grouped quests in a common area with common mobs. Time Management.

Levels (13-16) – WESTFALL
Going into Westfall you should get quests at the first two NPCs then go to the house on the way to Sentinel Hill and finally to Sent Hill. At these three locations you should have picked up quests: Poor Old Blanchy, Patrolling Westfall, Goretusk Liver Pie, Red Leather Bandanas, The Forgotten Heirloom, Westfall Stew, The Killing Fields and Peoples Militia. Between the Jansen Stead and Furlbrow’s Pumpkin Farm area ALONE you can go back and forth, in that same area, and get Vulture Meat, Boar Liver and Snout, Harvest Reapers and Gnoll Camps are all around. The watch of Forgotten Heirloom is in the house just north of the farm on the stead and the Murloc eyes are just down the hill on the coast. Just West of the Stead is the Jangolode Mine where you’ll find the Smugglers and Trappers for the People Milita who also drop the Red Leather Bandanas!!! Don’t forget to pickup the bags of Oats that are laying around all three locations and before you know it you have Completed EIGHT QUESTS all at once… TIME MANAGEMENT. You will have most certainly leveled at this point, turn in at Sentinel Hill get the flight path and go to Stormwind to skill up. While there visit Baros Alexton in the Cathedral District and get the quest to find his Compass in his old house in Westfall, you should have Peoples Militia part 2 also. Go to the Alexton Farm in west Westfall for the Pillager’s and Looters. The compass is in a chest in the burnt down house south of the farm. Go turn these and your done for now with Westfall… we’ll be back here soon but now we’re off to Loch Modan.

Levels (16-18) – LOCH MODAN
After turning in the box you’ve had for several levels to Stormpike he’ll give you another quest for Silver Stream Mine. Don’t do it yet, first go to Thelsamar and get flight path in addition to other quests. By now you have the basic Idea… Getting Quests Involving same type mobs or mobs in the same area. Group them together to reduce the amount of times you go back and forth between same mobs and same area. It’s all about TIME MANAGEMENT. Something to remember is that after you leave Elywnn Forest that each area will have a level range and you’ll come to a point where the quests are too hard for your level. Don’t feel like you have to complete one area completely before you go to the next area. It will be necessary to move on to other areas then go back to ones you have been before. In Loch Modan, for instance, You’ll get a quest from Stompike for the Silver Stream Mine and also from Thelsamar you’ll get a quest for Silver Stream and additional quest for cooking ingredients which can ALL be found by Silver Stream. Get all these quests before you go there so you don’t make 3 separate trips… TIME MANAGEMENT.

Now that you get the general idea behind my technique (which should be common sense anyway), I’ll give you a breakdown of where I would quest and at what levels. I don’t think you need me to go through quest by quest, that’s what http://www.thottbot.com and http://wow.allakhazam.com are for.

Levels 1-6
Night Elves = Shadowglen
Gnomes & Dwarves = Coldridge Mountains
Humans = Northshire (but not recommended*)

Levels 6-10
Night Elves = Teldrassil
Gnomes & Dwarves = Dun Morogh
Humans = Elwynn Forest (but not recommended*)

*As human your going to be behind the leveling curve of the other three races and the quests are going to be harder… Plus they are boring.

Levels 10-13 = ELWYNN FOREST
(Detailed Above)

Levels 13-16 = WESTFALL
(Detailed Above)

Levels 16-18 = LOCH MODAN
(Everything from Thelsamar, Ironbands Excavation Site and the Farstrider Lodge… Don’t forget Bingles on the southeast side of Loch Modan Lake. SKIP Dark Threat Looms, Mercenaries and Wanted:Chok’sul for now – come back to those later.)

Levels 18-20 = LAKESHIRE
(There are several level 15-20 quests in Lakeshire, starting with the guard on the road to Elwynn Forest, The kid with the lost necklace on the pier, lost toolbox ect. Look for quests: The Baying of Gnolls, A Free Lunch, Assessing the Threat, Redridge Goulash, Murloc Bounty, Underbelly Scales, Price of Shoes… there are a ton of quest that you can do but SKIP WANTED:Lt Fangore, WANTED:Gath’ilzogg, Shadow Magic, Solomon’s Law, an Unwelcome Guest basically all the Elite and/or level 20+ quests.)

Levels 20-22 = WESTFALL, DEADMINES & LOCH MODAN 2
(Basically you left after the 2nd part of People’s Militia from westfall, now go do part 3 in the southern Mountains at Dagger Hills, that line of quest leads into the “messenger” and the escort of the Defias spy to locate the Deadmines entrance. Go to the top of Sentinal Hill and get the quest for Wool bandanas and don’t forget to get the quest for Sprocket at the Dwarven District. You should now have three quests for Deadmines. After Deadmines go back to Loch Modan and do Mercenaries, WANTED:Chok’sul and finally “A Dark Threat Looms” located on the middle of the bridge/dam at north Loch Modan.)

Levels 22-25 = DUSKWOOD
(Deliveries to Sven, Dusky Crab Cakes, Eight Legged Menaces, Four Legged Menaces, Ghost Hair Thread, Look to the Stars, Night Watch ect… Basically remember the underlined theory here – TIME MANAGEMENT. There are a lot of quests that are in the same area here if you can manage to get them all before you start, instead of going back and forth several times. Start in Darkshire, head west on the road and grab quest for Spiders, hit Jitters at south end of Raven Hill then Sven on the Northwest coast… head straight east for Abercrombie, then before doing those quest go back to the town for turn in and get follow up quest because dusty crab cake parts drop off of spiders which you need for Eight Legged Menaces.. Goul Ribs drop off of the Gouls which drop stuff for zombie juice (rot blossoms) and also Plauge Spreaders… That’s 3 quests in one, every quest ties into ATLEAST one or two other quests – TIME MANAGEMENT. Do every quest here including all but… SKIP the last Worgen in the woods, the last part of Stalvan, Mor’Ladim, Bride of the Embalmer, Last part of Morben’Fel and Last part of Look to the Stars.)

Levels 25-27 = LAKESHIRE 2
Back to Lakeshire for the quests we stopped at. Lt. Fangore, The Elites Thrail’zun & Gathil’zogg, Blackrock Champions and the Corpral Keeshan Escort Quest. Lakeshire should be totally complete at this stage.

Levels 27-30 = WETLANDS
Get all the quests in town, there is a guy in the front of the keep and a guy at the top floor of the keep, also on the way out of Menethil Harbor there is a guy on the bridge with quest. You should have Young Croclisk Skin, Digging through the ooze and on the way out the quest to find the excavation site. You’ll have a quest for Murlocs and the Murloc Boss “Gobbler” these should all be an ease at this level but remember your getting full exp reward. Order of quests here is: Murlocs, Young Croclisks, Sida’s Bag, Greenwarden which is in the greenbelt area approximately in the middle of Wetlands map. He’ll give you a quest to kill Gnolls which are to the south on the way to Loch Modan on the left side of the road before the exit out of Wetlands, kill those guys and go back to turn in to Greenwarden, get next quests for the Fire Taboo (Flints). Kill the Gnolls just west of the Greenwarden for those and go back to get the 3rd and last Greenwarder quest for the swamp elementals. ONLY then go back to Men. Harbor to turn in quests. On the way back to Men Harbor hit the Orc Camp for the Blood warbanners, and for the Excavation Site, First Raptors are by Menethil Harbor before you enter the town on the left side. Turn Sida’s bag, The Young Crocs and the Warbanners and first Murloc quest. You should get follow up quests for the 2nd Murloc quest (finding a statue in a crate at one of the murloc camps), Get LARGE Croclisk Skins just north of the Murloc camps, Also in this same area you’ll start to see the Elemental Swamp Creatures. Go back to the Excavation site and turn in quest and get 2nd raptor quest with the “Artifacts” quest. You can kill the 2nd types of Raptors while picking up the Artifacts (Fat Vase, Skinny Vase, Pile of Dirt and Tomb)… Turn those in right away and get the quest to kill the boss Raptor (non-elite). Further down the road fight your way back into the Orc Camp to the Catapults and use the quest item to burn them… this will give you the follow-up quest automatically for Nek’rosh, the boss orc. You WILL need a team for this. While in that same area turn in the final Greenwarden Quest. Before you leave wetlands you will do the Cursed Crew Line and the Dark Iron Wars Line last. You have to do Dark Iron Wars to get the Kam Deepfury Kill Quest in the Stocades.

Levels 30-32 = STOCKADES
Instance in Stormwind, you can actually do this quest earlier but if you want to do all SIX quests at the same time you’ll have to wait until you do Dark Iron Wars. And the theme of this guide is Effeciency. TIME MANAGEMENT. You only WANT to go one time. From the stockades it’s self you should have Quell the Uprising and Bazil Thread. From the old town in Stormwind you need to get the quest “The color of Blood.” From Lakeshire you should have “What comes around” from Darkshire you should have “Crime and Punishment” and Finally from Wetlands you should have “The Fury Runs Deep.”

Levels 22-30 = DUSKWOOD–WETLANDS–DUSKWOOD2–WETLANDS2
What this means is that you may level in duskwood to 23 and see that the next quest is a tad too hard and you should go to wetlands and do the easy quests til they become a “tad” to hard… you may make several trips back and forth between duskwood and wetlands, but you’ll find that you’ll save more time that way instead of trying to fight your way through the harder quests. Again, don’t feel like you have to finish all the quests in one area before you move to the next, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK. Most of the time that turns out to be the most time efficient anyway. It is at this time, after the stockades, that you will go back to Darkshire and finish the quests you left – basically the level 30 plus elite quests: Mor’Ladim, Morbent Fel, Stalvan & the Last Part of the “Looking to the Stars”. Also if you have not done the last part of Worgen in the Woods.

Levels 32-34 = DESOLACE (NIJEL’S POINT) also HILLSBRAD
This is the time to make the hike to Nijel’s point. Make sure to get all the flight paths on the way. Also, before you go stop at the Ironforge explorer’s league for the Reagents Quest. Get the quests at Nijel’s point. You can only get one of the Centaur quests so pick “Strange Alliance” It’s an Easier line that Brutal Politics and you can do it at the same time as “Down the Scarlet Path” For quest specific information look it up on the websites mentioned above but basically you have to kill Demons in the Northeast, head a bit south for the first Centaur tribe for the Ears, Go west to a hut before the Kodo Graveyard and get the Kodo Bones Quest and inside the graveyard is a quest for Ghost-o-plasm in same area as “Down the Scarlet Path”. Continue northwest to the shore there is a lighthouse, at the base you’ll see another quest for scepter of light (remember that shipwreck quest… save it we’ll come back to it). Go to Thunder Fortress on the north side, on the road you’ll find the quest item by a broken down wagon. Go back up to Nijel’s Point to turn in the quests and get follow ups for Reageants and Vahlarriel’s Search. Also if your 34 by now you should to the 2nd floor of the Inn and get “Down The Scarlet Path” the pre-quest for Scarlet Monastery. Go back to Thunderaxe Fortress and do Vahlarriel’s Quest and Scepter of Light then go to the Kodo graveyard for Kodobones quest. Make sure you kill scorpian’s and Aged Kodo’s for the 2nd part of the Reagents Quest while your doing this. Turn in the Kodo Bones quest and go back to the Northwest Shore. On the shore to the south of the light house on the beach is a wrecked rowboat with quest item. You have to kill the lobsters and the Nagas for the two keys but before you go to the island, turn in the scepter because his follow up quest is on the same island!! TIME MANAGEMENT. After turning in that quest, off to the Skeletal Ravagers area. Kill the 30 Skeletons and also do the Ghost-o-plasm, go to the Kodo graveyard and turn in the Ghost-o-plasm then finally back up to Nijel’s Point to turn in remaining quests. The last part of Reagents is a lvl 40 quest that you can go back to.

Levels 34-36 = SHIMMERING FLATS
Yes you heard me. At the race track you can pick up SIX green/yellow quests. They are all “kill” quests and a pickup quest. If you go to the far east wall of shimmering flats the horde will never know you are there. The quests are CRAZY easy and you get hella experience from the kills. There is a kill scorpion quest for item, turtles for items, kill Baslisks, and Vultures, also there is a quest to pick auto parts up off the ground. THAT’S FIVE QUESTS ALL IN THE SAME AREA. Awesome easy exp. The sixth quest is to drop something off at Nessingwary in STV (stranglethorn valley).
DO NOT Pass this easy exp off. It’s well worth the journey and you can get Gagetztan Flight Path anyway so your definitely not wasting a trip.

Levels 36-40+ = STV & Scarlet Monastery
Start in Stranglethorn Valley (stv). Make sure to get all the quests in the Rebel Camp, Nessingwary’s Camp and Booty Bay. You can actually start in STV in the low 30s but the horde will eat you alive (literally). If you wait til level 35/36 the starting quests are easier, you still get full exp reward and you can defend yourself against oncoming horde (unless it’s level 60s there just to gank people – it happens). In between quests at STV you can do Scarlet Monastery runs. You should have atleast 2 quests for SM. Also if you feel your not quite ready for STV you can do some intermediate questing in Hillsbrad (also horde infested but not as bad as STV).

I may get more detailed on each area later… But this will have to do for now. Most of it is common sense, but I tried to drive a common theme. Do multiple quests in the same area involving the same type of mobs or multiple quest items that drop off the same type of mob. TIME MANAGEMENT and Efficiency is the Key to Accelerated Leveling. My mage is nearly level 37 with only a few days /played time. ENJOY.

His strategy revolves around the fair. Besides the trinkets though, there are a few juicy items you can get from the faire for turning stuff that appears to be low or no value to the uneducated. Either you are one wanting the neckalce or you are one wanting to exploit, er cash in on those wanting the necklace so here is what you need to know.

First goto goblin workshop and read their post on the Faire http://www.goblinworkshop.com/darkmoon-faire.html

Now that you have gone, looked at the items and wiped the drool from you keyboard here are tips on how to get the tickets:

You need 1200 tickets to get the epic neck piece from the fair.

Rumor is that you'll need to turn in your deck AFTER you get your neck piece or it messes up the faction earning, slowing you down but if you want your trinket then turn it in.

1) If you farm 130 Vibrant Plumes, it will earn you 312 Darkmoon tickets, 25% of the way towards your necklace. Harpies in Northern Ferales and inside Alterac Valley (the Alliance Cave) drop these pretty well. After you turn in this many you can't turn in more so don't bother getting 500 to skip the next part–it wont work.

(MONEY HINT: Put these on the Auction House then in trade chat say "Working on Darkmoon Faire faction? Vibrant Plumes for sale on AH" Otherwise people don't look for it.)

2) You next need to hunt or have a skill that the darkmoon faire is interested in: Blacksmithing, Engineering, Leatherworking, or "I'm sorry you choose Herb/Alchemy go kill hundreds of spawns."

For the next 900 tickets, you'll need 10 bat eyes (Eastern Plaguelands), 10 glowing scorpid blood (Silithus), 6 thorium widgets (engineer and the recipe sells from guy in Orgimar for horde), 8 dense grinding stones (blacksmith) or 8 rugged armor kits for each batch of 20 tickets.

To turn in the widgets, stones, or kits you must be an engineer, blacksmith, or leatherworker. So if you didn't choose one of these professions then find a guide on how to level to 300 in one of them (I think engineering is the way to go myself) and reset a skill or start killing.

http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebrt/wow/guides/skillupenchanting.html (Go to this link then choose the guide from the right that you need).

Well how many of each do you need?
450 Evil Bat eyes or Glowing Scorpid Blood
810 Thorium Widgets
1600 Dense Stone
1600 Rugged Leather

Okay lets say you've done the math and you don't want the necklace. Wonderful–exploit instead. No one is gonna wanna make ALL of this stuff him/herself so you have a chance to put the ingredients or end items on the AH for some nice cash.

Watch the calendar and mark up your items (or ingredients) when the fair is coming round (may 10/11) and then advertise in trade window–faire is here, get your ticket loot in the AH!

Good luck with whichever route you choose.

Arena trinket needs at least lvl 35.

I've been debating releasing this nice little secret, so please, PLEASE, try to keep this a secret, otherwise it might get recoded.

Note: Horde fellas, this is useless for you. Sorry.

WHERE/WHAT:

In Northweatern Westfall, running along the cliff, there is a lone windmill with a tiny shack at its base. It is surrounded by 6-7 Defias mobs, levels 12-13.

Whats the catch?

They respawn immediately. Get the drift?

WHAT LEVEL YOU SHOULD BE:

I would suggest 24+, however I was 33 when I discovered it, and it is still extremely useful when you reach 60.

WHAT TO USE THIS SPOT FOR:

1) Grinding/Maxing new weapon proficiencies…
2) Leveling a toon (lvl 5-16)…and getting him rich, as well.
3) Farming Linen. (For you linen clowns, I easily loot 100 linen in about 5 minutes).
4) Farming these nice little nets that occasionally drop.

There are a lot of these little sweet spots in this game. Hell, how do you think all of these beta-buggers get rich so quickly?

Keep it secret…keep it safe.

Sorry for waiting so long to post this update. I don’t want to affect my own efforts. As you can see I have been collecting a lot of low level gems. My feeling is that these gems will have the highest markup after the expansion. The rule I set for myself was to not spend over 10s for malachite, tigerseye, and shadowgem. It is realistic that people after the expansion will spend 20s-50s each just to get past the low levels of jewel crafting. It’s funny because the bulk of the gems I bought for less then 3s each. In order to feed my apatite for gems I had to switch gold over to the alliance side. So now the market on my server both side has gone to ****. People are trying to charge 1g for 1 shadowgem. Same with tigerseye, but there is no way in hell anyone will spend that much at this point. As someone else pointed out gold, silver, truesilver bars will be a good thing to have for jewel crafting. I have made my own collection of these bars. But the point id like to make is that ore is 100% drop from veins. Unlike gems being a chance to drop.

Id like to share a story from the past and one from today. Long time ago I was saving gems to make a frostguard. As my gem collection grows the drop rate got worse and worse on gems from rich thorium. It got so bad to the point that I had to buy the rest of the gems I needed. As soon as I made the frost guard the rich thorium veins started to drop again like crazy. A friend of mine around the same time said she has not found a gem in like a week. The difference with her was that she sells all her gems in the auction. It’s my opinion that as long as the gem you mine is not turned into an item. It puts a hold on gems that you can potentially find. Selling gems in the auction is the worse thing you can do. Because someone may hold on to them for a long time making you finding gems imposable. As for the story from today. You can notice I have a lot of high level gems. With arcane crystals being the least amount I have. All my arcane crystals were mined by myself. When I mine rich thorium I only find arcane crystals, no other types drop for me. It must be my collection of other types of gems that stop them from dropping. Of course this is only my opinion on what I have observed.

I hope this has been of some use to some of you. Here are the links to my gem alts. I need 2 of them now.

Cheers,

Part one, Getting from 30-35:
So you have hopefully followed the instructions in the previous guide and gotten your flight paths and quests done like a good lil horde. If you haven’t done those quests, then I recommend peeking in at those areas and seeing if there is anything left. This guide is a general explanation of where to pickup quests. For details on how to complete quests, use www.thotbot.com.

At 30 you are chomping at the bit to level—halfway to 60 and 10 extremely long levels before your mount. Before you can move up, there is some running to do. You need to pick up 4 flight paths to set yourself up for success.

Descolace 30-31: From Stonetalon Mountains go south into Desolace. In the south western corner is a flight path for horde. Now I’ve never personally quested here but if you go to the Kodo graveyard (in the middle of the map) there are some quests to pick up and grind out. This is a really quite area and you could spend a level or 2 without getting ganked. Nice alternative for some of the other places you’ll go during this level range. For now all you care about is your flight path and a quest to talk to Hunter Nessing in Stranglethorn Grove.

Arathi Basin (Hammerfall) 31-33: Get to Undercity. Next to the flight guy is a quest giver to kill some guys at a farm in Arathi. Pick up that quest. Fly to Tarren Mill. Somewhere here is a quest to kill orges in Arathi Basin. Get on the road and head east. Once you enter the Arathi Basin zone veer to the North and you’ll run into a cave full of orges. Kill the orges and then keep heading north to the mountains. Follow the mountains to east to Hammerfall (this is the safest route). Along the way is a crystal to click which gives you a quest to kill some rat like creatures to the east of Hammerfall. Once you get to hammerfall turn in the orge quest and you’ll find there are several kill quests: winterbark trolls, dinosaurs, collecting something from a farm. Pick up these quests and off you go. Let me warn you, the drop rate in Hammefall is really low for collection quests so there is a long bit of grinding. The good news is when you get 40 the first aid quest is right in this city.

Strangelthorn Vale 33-36: Well it is time to learn (if you are on PVP server) all about ganking. Take the blimp from Grom Gol and pick up the flight path. If you don’t have the Booty Bay flight path, get to Ratchet and take the boat to Booty Bay. Check all the buildings for quests: leatherworker wants you to kill crocs and the inn has some money making ideas and needs your help. If you went to shimmering flats then you have a quest to turn in at Booty Bay any way. Pick up your flight path at the top of the inn. Now back to Grom Gol for the questing.

Hang on–you have an elite quest to pick up a tablet in the vile reef? This is actually soloable. Look up the quest on thotbot.com for the location swim down click the tablet and there is a quick bit of exp for you.

Don’t forget to shout out “Anyone for questing?” in this zone because being alone is like being a deer in a forest full of hungry wolves. . .and you will get pulverized quick if you are by yourself. This is a madhouse of Alliance and Horde running the same quests at the same time competing for kills. If you kill a member of the opposing faction, they will usually gather friends to kill you back—so you find some buddies to return the favor. It can be very distracting.

Head North out of grom gol along the beach til you get to the first troll camp. Turn right and head into the forest til you reach the river. You should see Nessing’s camp to the right. Go there and pick up all the quests except for the book quests (collect pages). Now you should have at least 3 quests to kill trolls (ears, tusks, and necklaces) and 3 quests to kill monsters (raptors, young panthers, young tigers).

Young panthers are south, across the bridge. Young tigers are around nessing’s camp. Take those out first. Turn in the quest. Slightly to the north and west is a plateau with the regular panthers, regular tigers, regular raptors. In addition there are some trolls up here—kill those as you go to get that collection done. Once you’ve killed the animals turn in those quests and get the next set of quests (elder tigers, shadow panthers, lashtail raptors). The elder tigers are west of Nessing’s camp further in from the young tigers and south of the plateau you were on earlier. Kill em and turn it in for the final quest in that series. If you haven’t finished the troll ears, get it done and turn it in and you’ll pick up a quest to kill lashtail raptors. Kill those raptors and turn those quests in for double credit.

You still have a bunch of quests in your log. Look up how to do them and go after it. Thotbot will warn you about the quests that are a waste of time. Focus on kill quests (kill x number of y) rather than collection quest (bring me X number of Y).

Did this by accident when leveling up a new char the other day..
Queue yourself up for the BG at that battlegrounds top level restriction when your that level. example 10-19 (queue yourself up at 19) — 20-29 (queue yourself up at 29) — 30-39 (queue yourself up at 39)
Now go finish your level.. so if you joined the 10-19.. level yourself up to 20.. and when you get in.. you'll be the level 20 in the 10-19 battlegrounds i think you guys get the point..
this only works once though.. if you try again it will put you in the proper level battlegrounds..

Alright, I decided to write this little 'mini-guide' because I keep hearing about people having problems with priest.

Priest is honestly not a hard class to play if you know how to play it right.

This isnt a guide to go out and kill Onyxia solo, this is for the average fight you encounter wherever, knowing how to start a fight properly, and knowing how to react to a sudden attack.

This really only applies to Soloing.

I. Starting a fight: This is for the times when you see a mob and have time to set up an attack.

1.Preparation
a. First thing you do is make sure all of your buffs are in order, Power Word: Fortitude, Inner Fire, Etc.
b. Pop on Power Word: Shield. Alot of people make the mistake of putting on PW:S after youve already hit the mob with your pulling spell..this is WRONG…so dont do it. Instead, turn on PW:S and wait until you have about 15 seconds left on it before attacking. Most mobs take down your shield within 15 to 20 seconds, this way your mana will have time to recharge plus, by the time the mob takes down your shield, you'll be ready to pop on another one.

2. The Actual fight (first blow to last)
a. Many people start the fight with Mind Blast because it does the most damage and takes the longest to recharge, wrong. dont do it. Start the fight off with Smite…Yes you heard me, Smite. Nobody mentions smite in their guides because it takes FOREVER to cast. This is why you cast it in the beginning. The mob will then start rushing towards you. You want your second attack to be Mind Blast because you can cast it in the amount of time it takes the mob to get to you. From there you want to hit the mob with Shadow Word: Pain and start the DOT process. (If youre in a group, or taking damage at any point in the fight, cast Vampyric Embrace to get some health back)
b. So far your attacks should be (IN ORDER)
Smite
Mind Blast
Shadow Word: Pain
c. For the rest of the fight you want to cast in this order.
Mind Flay
Mind Flay
Mind Blast
Repeat.
And apply SW: Pain or PW:S again when necessary

II. Sudden attacks
1. Alot of the time youre going to get attacked by mobs that just spawned or ones that you didnt see. The outcome of this fight is dependant on reaction time…so the biggest tip is this. KNOW YOUR HOTKEYS. Quick reaction time can save you from certain death.
a. First things first, pop on Power Word: Shield. This thing should give you enough time to get the next couple of spells in.
b. Vampyric embrace, dont bother with Renew, Minor Heal, Flash Heal, or Heal, These take too long to cast and take up way too much mana. Rather regain health as youre attacking, your DOTs should bring you the amount of health that you need.
c. Shadow Word: Pain to start the DOT process.
d. From there just follow the steps in section 2 based on a normal fight.
Mind Blast
Mind Flay
Mind Flay
Mind Blast
Repeat.
And apply SW: Pain or PW:S again when necessary

This is really more of a guide to soloing than a group guide, its also entirely dependent on you being a shadow build.

PS: You cant cast Smite while in Shadow Form. Take that into account.

Its "very" special, but its so damn profit-yielding, that I want to share it with you.

It is possible to play 2 accounts at the same time if you play in window mode. Maybe you are in the same lucky position having a second account with a 60er from a friend or guildie.

Whats the point? Farm lbrs Vosh'gajin (T0 Rogue gloves) and Voone (T0 hunter gloves). In the auction house you get 150g and more for these every day … If you play the 2 accounts alone in window mode and find a way to farm these, the whole profit is yours. The first trys I needed over an hour only for Vosh'gajin. Now I get both in less then 25 min. With this I made over 2k gold in the last 2 weeks with less than 2 hours of work a day.

I play a t2 priest and a t2 rogue. Can bypass nearly everything with stealth / Mind Soothe / rogue pulls => priest runs without aggroing => rogue vanish. Use of mindcontrol in every group.
Maybe possible with warrior/priest, druid/priest, druid/rogue, druid/druid? I don't know. Try it out. If you find a way with your combo you get rich ^^. Maybe you don't even need t2, but for voone your tank/rogue needs at least 4k hp unbuffed cause he sometimes hits very hard with a double 2k dmg mortal strike to leather. A high dodge/parry stat can save the healer mana (my rogue has about 36% dodge).

edit: Made a small screenshotguide for you: http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lbrst0farming6yt.jpg

EDIT: 31.07.2006: Don't farm this way anymore. I think, blizzard lowered the dropchance of both gloves A LOT. When I posted this it was like 1 glove of 2 runs, now its like 1 of 10. In addition you doesn't get as much money for them in the AH now - something about < 100g. . It's no more worth the time.
