World of Warcraft

noone, word of warning. UUNet and WoW does not mix. Rather sign up with Axxess or get a Telkom ADSL account.
 
Noone, pm me with an email addy - I've got a 10 day key in the WoW box that arrived recently. And it can be yours ... for a small percentage of your pr0n collection... ;)

Turn back while you have a chance, mage or warlock are the way to go if your alliance or Shamman on the Horde side. I am a lvl 48 Druid and in PvP it takes loads of skill to come out on top. :rolleyes:

thanks man! I pm'ed you!
 
Erf, well happy birthday to me, im officially 25 for the last 2 hours and 16 minutes. I am also now a Level 6 Gnome Warlock thingy on WoW (thanks for passiv for the Guest pass, this game is addictive!)

And yes, the SAIX account is much better!

I'm playing on Blood Hound (or Hood?) on the EU servers. Havent spoken to alot of people (nor saw any) but when I got to Iron Forge, OMG! ALOT of people. I haven't even STARTED to scratch the surfice (still need a profession)

Been completing quests..... this thing.... it's gonna be the end of me :D
 
All welcome the latest WoW addict :D . Congratz on your 25th noone, hope you surface before your 26 :p. My other character is a gnome warlock character lvl 8 but currently hell bent getting my druid to 60. :rolleyes:

I suggest tailoring and enchanting as your main professions. Enchanters make huge dosh later on :)
 
i still dont even know HOW to go about doing a profession, all i know is how to train skills as a warlock.... busy TRYING to get some damn crag boar meat, but the damn things doesn't always give meat and i almost always die when trying to.

DAMN :P
 
Well let me help you out a bit:

Skill summary:

Gathering skills: (primary) Mining, Skinning & Herbalism

Profession skills: (primary) Leatherworking, blacksmithing, engineering, alchemy, clothier and enchanting.

Secondary skills would be: Fishing, cooking and First aid.

You may only have 2 primary skills, or 3 gathering skills.

Choose wisely. Skinning supports leatherworking, mining supports blacksmithing/engineering and herb gathering supports alchemy.

Leatherworking and Blacksmithing, gets split into different paths, such as "elemental leatherworking".

Cloth and Enchanting are usually for mages, warlocks and priests, but they are quite expensive (yet rewarding) in building and you don't make much money from them. You also dont need a gathering skill, since most items used are drops.

Also, take all secondary. Cooking goes hand in hand with fishing (you get nice benefits from a home cooked meal) and first aid always comes in handy.
 
So if I choose enchanting i must have clothier? Which accounts for 2 or 1 primary skills?
 
You get 2 main professions which should ideally compliment eachother. And then you can train all the secondary professions first aid, cooking etc. Generally Enchanting can be grouped with either herbalism or Tailoring. I found tailoring to be more beneficial. Herbalism is a definite if your going to do alchemy.

To find trainers just speak to guards and a popup will be displayed select professions and then the professional trainer you want to find and an indicator will direct you in the right direction on your mini-map.

Enchanting is expensive initially but you'll definitely reap the rewards later on.

Well, I was a Tailor in UO, might as well do it in WoW. Don't you find that professions are a bit limited in the game?

Also, how the hell do I get bear fur? I killed the mutha but only got broken teeth (I hit hard :D )
 
If you've taken tailoring, the items you'll require will most probably be dropped by humaniods. Skinning, would allow you to take the bear's fur, but skinning is more for leatherworking than Tailoring.

As for enchanting, you'll need to disenchant the green items, to get enchanted dust. Then use the dust to enchant other items.

I do agree with you about the professions. The professions aren't as involving as other MMOG, this is great for the casual gamer though.

I find that Alchemy/Herb is the easiest (boring), so I think I'm going to change to leatherworking. I think leatherworking, engineering and blacksmithing is more challenging.

Anyways read up about it:

I am a leather worker Skill lvl 225. I find that it's more challenging yes, since allot of the items required on the top end drop rarely and the money you make from the goods isn't great as leather armour doesn't really sell well. Consider yourself warned. :p

Lol, ja, i've been reading the forums, Druids are not happy, specially as there's nothing for them in the new patch. BTW, i cant log in after the patch, they musta cocked something up. Anyone else have issues?

Back on the druid issue, apparantly they are taking a closer look, there are a number of bugs as i'm sure u know. But i think what everyone really wants is feral form 2 b tanked a lot more, else we're nothing more than glorified healers.
I suffer quite a bit when the horde raid Astranaar, becoming a regular late night occurance. To get honor points, i have to lurk around in Prowl, wait til someone's really down on health & backing away in a hurry, then nail him, lol.

On professions, i think u only get em after lvl 10, not sure bout that one.
I have Enchanting & Herbalism as primary. Enchanting is ok, but herbalism sux a bit without alchemy, u end up just collecting herbs & selling em, good regular income i suppose.
 
Yeah Feral needs a huge boost especially cat form. Problem is that everyone knows a druid is a soft kill so your usually the first one to go down. :eek: . Horde players ganking again in SG (Searing Gorge) last night :mad: . But we managed to get a little payback :D .

Also I think more of the Druid's healing spells should be instant cast (or at the very least casting time reduced) and some of their damage spells. They need to really decide on a direction for the Druid.

Anyway I recccomend tailoring with enchanting not herbalism. With tailoring you get to disenchant items that you make with tailoring. And initially tailoring is very cheap.

Anyone hit battle grounds yet?

I also experienced a delay with logging on last night. About 20:30 I think. Probably just the loggin server under strain.

I's have to disagree with you, that would only make the druid even more of a healer. (maybe a healing talent) The Feral form should be boosted though. The big issues I have, is that after changing into cat form during combat, is that you still have to wait for your energy bar to recharge and that both ferals forms have too low HP.

My Druid is Feral specced.

The way I play with the druid is (soloing mobs), I usually cast a spell, root, faerie then spam some more, when root breaks, I change shape into either bear or cat, depending on enemy and attack. This is great because your mana recharges while you're in another form and you're good to go with the next mob. For adds I cast sleep on them and usually lasts until i kill the first mob. Taking on two mobs at a time is alot tougher with the druid than any other class. If I get around 30% hp, i'll change to druid and cast regrowth, then change to bear form. If I'm fighting lower leveled mobs, i usually stick to cat form, since I find it does the most dmg, the fastest.

For duels I handle it alot different though. I root first, faerie, spam spells, after taking some damage i sleep (mages) or root, cast rejuv or regrowth, and change to a form depending on class. Spell casters get eaten up by cat form, because of the fast hit rate, but bear is more suited against hunters (sleep or root the pet, hunters are soft) and warriors. But the outcome is dependant on the enemy's skill.

Druids require alot more work, to defeat an opponent, but it sure is rewarding.
