I'm trying for the loremaster achievement, and I'm starting in Northrend since I have the most already done there. I can get almost everywhere except Scholazar Basin. I did the Wolvar and Oracles quests, but I think I switched from Wolvar to oracles to quickly (it was an accident, I didn't know the quest I did to help the injured oracle would switch me over)

Is it impossible for me to get the loremaster now, just because I messed up a bit?
(I'm 67 / 75 quests there)

[censored] YEAH, Blizzard brought back 1 handed Fury!!!!! GOD, WHY did they have to do this as soon as I'm unable to play? Seriously? So glad they did it but damnit, so stupid that I don't even get to experience it. 1 handed fury was awesome in BC and Vanilla. We, the Warrior community, asked and asked and asked for 1 handed Fury to come back, and Blizz kept saying "nah, sry bro we like Titans Grip", and now, as soon as I'm unable to play WoW, they introduce the Single-Minded Fury talent at the end of the Fury tree, increasing damage done by 1 handed weapons by 20%.
Piss off, Blizz. Piss off.

Shammies definitely have more survivability, as in, can take a beating. Mail armor helps after level 40 but Priests are exceptional healers. I have a level 18 and she doesn't even try. I just pop a bubble or Renew and just kick back, relax, and watch the show. I do do some questing on my priest, and I have to use Power Word: Shield or else I'm screwed. We have no armor spells, like locks, druids, or mages, and can only wear cloth.... so the whole play-style is significantly different from others, and in fights with more than one mob, I'm swearing IRL because its so effing hard to survive those encounters. I might try out Shadow or Disc. later on just for kicks, but Holy is where I'm staying as I posted before.


Also, don't be afraid to use the vote kick tool. some people really effing need to get booted to learn they're lesson. and you'd be surprised that some people who don't say anything and kinda just take the crap, will actually help you get rid of them. No one likes repair bills :/ But I must say if someone is new, and you can recognize it or they say so, don't be afraid to help them out. Explain something to them, or show them, whatever. If you help them, you know that you probably just made a player out of a noob

Well after awhile I guess it just toke one guy to say F-it and vote to kick but this guy wasn't a noob he mention he had a DK so he's probably been play awhile or at least long enough to know better.

I haven't tried priest yet, and only a few levels with a shaman, but one of my guildies just loves playing a priest. Her main is a druid (not sure which), but she decided to be the official healer in our dungeon runs, and worked on her priest. She does a lot of soloing as well, and swears by shadow priest, and from what I gather, holy is more for groups, while shadow is more for soloing. Overall, priest seems to be more if you'll heal more than fight, shaman (or druid or pally) more if you want to fight more than heal. Of the shamans I've seen, they can be pretty durable in fights, but don't usually just stand back and focus on healing like priests do (unless of course they're the healer, so far I haven't seen a noob shaman).

I've noticed there are lots of ret pallys here. How's the tanking? Is it as iffy as people say it is, or is it better to dual-spec prot for tanking? http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Scryers&cn=Drewbus (pretty sure he isn't wearing his helm or chestpiece right now), and tanking last week for our guild's run through BRD was cake -- soloing it was easier than I'd expected too -- but I haven't really run many dungeons until recently, and wanna get into at least the OL instances. I'm leery of choosing tank with him though. I know Slave Pens won't be nearly as easy :unsure:

yeah Shadow seems cool but there not much healers (not healer at all) when they go into Shadow Form and the shadow form thing seems to be the base around alot of the Shadow talents later on. I'll make either a Dranei or Night Elf Priest and try em out.



And tho I haven't played my rouge much lately I've tried using a sword and haven't liked it but if someone knows a good build for a soloing rogue (preferably daggers) could you show me?

So for those that are taking part in the festival this year, how many blossoms are you currently at?

I got the Tabard and I'm getting frost emblems from the boss, that's it. I can't be assed to do those quests, I got the Elder title on my Hunter and it completely burned me out on season quests.

[Sophh]

Starting the trial now, can you guys give me a good race and class to be (doesnt matter what class) i prefer to be on the alliance because i do not like what the races look like (besides Orc & Blood Elf) on the horde side. So thanks to whoever replies to this.
Also, good (non-PvP) servers named would be very appreciated

I started the trial about 4 days ago and didnt play it, anyone know about what level I could get to if I played about 1:1/2 - 2 hrs a day?

My favorite is the Night Elf, tho they don't got the best starting area there still pretty cool. Humans would be another good choice. If you want to just try it out be a hunter, mage or warrior. How long is the trail? if it's a 30 day one you should be able to level 20 with a class like the hunter where you shouldn't die as much thanks to the pet.

Play on Cenarion Circle. It *says* RP, but there is almost none at all going on. Except in Goldshire, but we don't go there anymore... (Also, generally good server. Alliance wins a lot at stuff)
Race/Class depends on your preferred play style (Ranged, melee) and your skill (damage, tank, or healer)

I seriously recommend a PvP server over a PvE, it's up to you of course, but PvP is much more fun.

If you haven't gotten too far into it, Grizzly Hills is a good one. The Horde svcks at WG, even with 6x tenacity. And the local TC troll 'participating'.
Try paladin, race doesn't really matter. Currently i have a level 13 Dwarf Pally with BoA gear and I'm loving it.

[Setal Vara]

If i have a RaF, does that person need to be online for me to get the 3x XP?

Havent played it at all really i made a Human Warlock the other day for [censored] n Gigs. But i just made a new trial on my other E-mail.

Also, whats Grizzly Hills and whats the WG the Horde svcks at. Sorry never played WoW

[Siobhan Thompson]

Um, having done the trial:

As I understand it, WG (Wintergrasp) battleground and Grizzly Hills are both high level places (70-80), so I don't think you'll have to worry about them. Not sure that low level characters can do anything there now...plus they require Wrath of the Lich King, which you probably don't have on that trial.

Pick any server, it won't matter a whole lot during your 20 levels of a 10-day trial. Seriously. Just get a feel for the different races and classes, see which ones you like and which you don't, and try out the normal and RPG servers. You can make up to nine characters on an account, I forget how many servers you can play on but it's limited as well -- but not so limited that you can't have a few dozen alts scattered around, which will be way too many during the trial period. IMO a PvP server should be chosen after you decide to get the game, because after level 20 is when you'll be entering shared zones and actually encounter PvP situations, at least those in which you'll have a real chance of surviving. The RPG servers are a little odd as well, because some people are more into roleplaying than others. I play on two RPG realms, but never really see much of the hardcoe roleplaying (like using certain language or walking everywhere instead of running), just people getting into their characters and the game lore a bit more than on PvE servers. Proudmoore and Sisters of Elune have both been pretty good so far.

You also can't join a guild on a trial account, but you can pay attention to who you're seeing often. Some guilds are just for hanging out, others are for leveling, and some have specific requirements, like those that are just for higher-level characters who do lots of raids (a type of dungeon). Being in a guild can have benefits, if it's a good guild and you get along with the members.

One important thing to know if you use more than one email account to make other trials: once the 10 days is up, you can't access those characters again until you register the account (i.e. buy the game), and I never did find a way to link the emails together -- not even sure if it's permitted, to be honest. That means you'll lose some of your characters, so be sure they aren't the ones you want to keep if you end up getting the game.

According to their FAQ, both of you do need to be on at the same time in order for the 3x to apply, plus you must both be grouped together and remain near each other (so grouping while on different continents won't count). Shouldn't be hard though if you're playing together, just be sure you turn in quests together too so you can get 3x experience there as well (a VERY nice perk). And really, between level 20 being fairly easy to reach, getting 2x experience from logging out for a while in an inn or major city (as long as the experience bar is blue instead of purple), and 3x RaF experience, you'll easily hit 20 within just a few days, if you play a couple hours each day. There's a LOT to see and do in WoW, and leveling up too fast can mean missing a lot of it, so don't worry too much about hitting 80 as fast as possible. The destination is nice, but the journey can be too ^_^

Also, you'll eventually learn about the auction house (AH), and if it's something that interests you and you think you'll want to use the AH when you buy the game, save things in the bank so you'll have them when that character's account is activated. It can be a big help in getting your character "officially" started

[Becky Cox]

Actually Grizzly Hills referred to a Server in that context, it is also a levelling zone in Northrend, not a BG.

[Melung Chan]

Must've misread it then -- I know Grizzly Hills isn't a BG because my hunter recently spent some time there, but I thought it and WG were being suggested as places to visit :blink:

[Sudah mati ini Keparat]

I would advise against a new player choosing a PvP realm. Their 'fun' aspect is often way overstated. Once you enter the contested areas at level 20-ish you are able to kill or be killed by any other player. Sounds like fun, right? Well, it is if the other player is around the same level as you. However, most of the time you will be one-shotted by bored level 80s who do it simply because they can. Some people like the buzz of knowing they could be killed at any time but I prefer to quest in peace without the annoyance of getting killed while I'm mining or gathering herbs. I do have a lowbie rogue on a PvP realm because playing a stealth character on a PvP realm is just too much fun :hehe:

[c.o.s.m.o]

To each his own. I played for about a year on a PvE server, and eventually me and my friends just got so bored with it, we made new characters on a PvP realm (Twilight's Hammer), which is the one we've stayed on to this day, if we hadn't done that, then we would've missed out on some great times, and we'd never have met all the great people we know from that server now,

[k a t e]

Oh I wasn't suggesting PvP realms aren't good, it's just that for a brand new player they could be more frustrating than fun. Playing a rogue on PvP realm is FTW B)

I was just saying the Horde was terrible at WG in case he ever got to 80.

[D LOpez]

Is your crit chance supposed to change randomly?

Because today it was at 27.1%, and then 10 or 20 minutes later I looked at it, and it was 26.7%. I never removed any gear or anything like that.

[NEGRO]

Im having fun in the trial with my RaF (The Gate Keeper), Im a lvl 13 Human Warrior.

No. Probably a buff or stance/aura/form/etc that changed it.

[Esther Fernandez]

is their a way to check mail even if your on a trial, because a friend of mine sent me 2g.

Pretty sure Trial accounts can't check their mail at all.
