Wow now I know why Hunters are PvE kings!
2010-03-06 00:00:00
So I am leveling a Draenei Hunter alt, since my level 70 game is boring without a guild. My hunter is decently geared for his level (now at 34), with a blue bow that has pretty good DPS. And I just realized... I think I have died MAYBE once on my hunter. That's pretty amazing. <br />What made me realize this was a fight today. I'm in STV, going through the troll ruins to get one of the Troll Legends. I'm 34, and fighting 37s; no big deal. I send my pet after one, and accidentally shoot another. Oops :-P. No problem, I can stand a couple of knives getting flung at me. Then my pet gets a little too close to a Witch Doctor. Ok, three on one, a little tougher. I kill the first one I sent my pet after, and go after the Witch Doctor next... just to see two more berserkers patrolling, who immediately run into my pet and aggro. <br />Ok, four on one? I...

Step By Step Guide to Jewelcrafting in WoW: Trade Skill Guides for
2009-08-13 00:00:00
Jewelcrafting is one of the most sought after professions in the game right now. This trade skill started when Burning Crusade hit the market. Whether it is pve or pvp Jewelcrafting has goodies for all. It is also one of the most profitable professions once you have achieved the required skill. Introduction<br />There are many reasons to take up Jewelcrafting as one of your main professions. If it is for making tons of gold or making prismatic gems for yourself, let me warn you, you are going to be spending gold out of your pocket - LOTS of it. Be prepared to invest anywhere between 1,500 to 3,000 gold at the minimum if you are planning to buy most of the mats required. I wouldn't recommend farming the mats by yourself because making gold is actually quite easy these days - especially with the amount of dailies that are available in Northrend. But I would recommend picking up mining along with this profession since it will indeed help out with the amount of investment needed on the extraneous amounts of ores and gems you will need. <br /> Getting Started: Gathering the Materials<br />Approximate Materials Required f...

Tomorrow is the 16th. For some that means Christmas is nine days away, but for others Christmas just might be coming early this year! That's right because tomorrow is the chance to make oodles of money that only comes once an arena season... the honor gear spree!!! Every single player in the game that plays pvp (most if not all) will purchase the 'free' blues and maybe even some epics on day one. Then they will rush to the auction house to enhance their gear.

Make WoW Gold For Your Epic Mount (Flying and Regular)
2009-03-10 00:00:00
Some people have expressed concern about the difficulty of getting the epic flying mount. A lot of people think that the flying lessons are too expensive, but this guide will help you get your epic flyer. This guide is ideal for those that are starting out at level one. The first thing that you need to do is develop good saving skills. Sounds a lot like real life, huh? If you learn how to save and you start saving early in the game, then it will be much easier on you when you need to spend a lot on your epic mount. One of the ways to help you with this is to get a bank toon. You might think that the mailing fees will hurt you, but the bank toon will save you a lot of time so it will be worth it. It also helps because you will not be as tempted to spend the money if you have forgotten that you even h...

Making Bank - Bank Alt Math
2009-03-10 00:00:00
Bank alts are the perfect solution to a shortage of space in world of warcraft, because they help with organizing large amounts of goods and are much cheaper than upgrading your main account's bag space. Also see which set of bank slot and guild tab purchases get you the most slots for your wow gold. As you get better at making gold in wow you will quickly realize that the standard bags/bank space is not enough for a character to hold their items they wish to sell. A typical night at the auction house will net me anywhere from 30-60 item slots that I need room to store in. Also, if you watch trends then you will often have stockpiles of items in your bags waiting to be sold. What if you had a 'slave' character which could serve no process other than to hold your excess items Creating a Bank Alt To create the simplest of bank-alts, create a level 1 character of any race and run them to the nearest major city (obviously do your best to avoid the monsters in the way). When you get to the bank of that major city, you will see that your character has 28 open item slots within the main section of the bank screen. Improving Your Bank Alt Buy bigger bags. Your alt will benefit greatly from addi...

Making decisions while healing
2009-03-10 00:00:00
My point was more that when it all comes down to it, healing is generally limited by one of three things: 1) Running out of mana, 2) Running out of GCDs, and 3) Just doing the wrong thing in the wrong situation. The type 3 fights are generally the most interesting for a healer, but you're also not going to find every fight like that, and it might be exhausting if they were. I am generally referring to fights where you shouldn't heal at a certain time, or you need to move at a certain time, or you need to heal the right person at exactly the right time. Currently we think the game has strayed too far towards the type 2 style of healing, where if you miss a single global, your target might die. This may not be the case if you are on Naxxramas milk runs, but it was certainly the case in Sunwell and other more challenging content. Since you must heal for your max amount every GCD, and the penalty for failing that heal (i.e. wiping) is probably worse than the penalty for overhealing, the healing game feels very spammy. More situational or efficient heals lose out compared to heals that maximize throughput. Coordination among healers doesn't feel particularly necessary because overhealing isn't a big deal. Pay...

Making Gold in Northrend; How Much is Enough
2009-03-10 00:00:00
I wrote a short blurb in the forums about this. Ive run into a snag. Maybe Im just completely out of the loop here but I have no idea how to make gold now with the current economy and what most players are sitting at. I mean, in BC it was easy to make gold, its easy now too but once youve exhausted all the low hanging fruit (questing at 80) the options fall to gathering and selling the occasional blue or epic on the AH. I do about 20 dailies if Im really feeling up to it but at 13g a pop Im feeling ripped off. The worst part is that theyre all scattered everywhere. There are dailies in Icecrown all over, there are dailies in the two starter zones, there are the Sholazar dailies, my daily Wintergrasp quests, daily dungeons/heroics. I know that before Wrath hit live servers people had tons of gold stockpiled up because of the sheer ease of QuelDanas farming dailies. That and selling herbs for the first wave of scribes before Wrath was about as close to printing your own money as you can get. Im bringing this up because I kind of have to make 12,500 gold. I have a little, I keep it in a jar above my fridge, Id like to put more in there, thats where you come in. 81How World of Warcraft Promotes Innovation...
