World of Warcraft Tips

Hunters can tame a pet and have it fight by its side. That pets main purpose is grab attention of the mob while you shoot it. With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion talent point updates you can master in beast mastery and make your pet almost invincible to in game mobs. Hunter's can also track humanoids, stealth mobs, beasts, and undead. You can use this tracking to help you find quest objects such as people you have to kill in order for something to drop. Alliance Dwarf Hunters can find treasure which will make your questing even easier since it will allow you to track some quest items. Hunters can run faster at level 20 using the aspect of the cheetah. Be careful, you can get dazed while using this aspect but it makes it nice if you have two gather professions. They also have talents points that increase your mount speed so you can get from point A to B faster. Other race mentions: Orcs have a pet damage bonus as well as an attack power bonus. Orcs rock for the Horde! Blood Elf hunters can restore mana with their racial ability. Alliance Night Elves have an racial ability to Hide in the Shadows. Great way to get the jump on someone that does not see you. Hunters start out wearing leather, and at level 40 can train to use mail.

Shadow Priests can heal themselves while doing massive damage. Priests can usually find a group too quite easily. You also can get more group quests done since people are usually looking for a healer. Priest's also get a stamina buff, drain mana from the enemy, and bubble themselves so they can get a cast off and reduce damage taken. You will have to wait until level 30 to get a mount since Priests have no run speed bonus. One nice thing about leveling a priest is you can pick up enchanting and tailoring. Since you will always get cloth drops you can use it to make bags, and armor. Enchanting will allow you to enchant your weapons and armor thus improving otherwise dreary gear. On the Horde side you can pick between Undead, Blood Elf's, and Trolls. Blood Elf's and Trolls are the better classes to roll as a priest. Blood Elf's can restore mana, and Trolls can increasing their casting speed through Berserking healing themselves or a friendly target faster. Alliance classes such as Humans and Night Elves make great priests too.

Rogues are just as fast if not faster at leveling as priests. Rogues can get sprint which increases their run speed for 15 seconds. Which can help when you have to run around until you get your mount. They can also stealth around and get to certain quest items or people without having to fight their way in. You can also SAP a guard instead of fighting two guards at once. This will incapacitate the target for 30 seconds while you kill the other mob. A lot of times Ambush can take an enemy down to half health. This makes killing that much faster. Rogues can make additional funds by leveling their lock picking skill. People will tip you to open their lock boxes. You can check out my World of Warcraft Lock Picking Tip Page to find out how to increase your lock picking skill. Dwarf Rogues, Orc Rogues, and Undead Rogues make for the best rogues in the game. Dwarf Rogues have the ability to Find Treasure and use Stone form. You can find any lock box, chest, or quest item that is trackable. This can speed up leveling on the Alliance side. Orc Rogues have the ability to increase their attack power, doing more damage. Undead Rogues can eat corpses to replenish their health. Makes it quite handy to kill mobs and level faster when you do not have keep using food that is often slower to replenish health.

Auction House

Use the auction house to your advantage. You can buy and sell items that are not bind on pickup at the auction house. Best thing to do is search for the item you want to sell before you actually post the auction. You can sell your item faster if you undercut the other seller by 5 percent. If you have more than one character on the server you should always send stuff to that character if you do not need it so you other character can use it first. But after its all said and done you can make enough gold to purchase all your mounts and training needed. Refrain from upgrading your gear every couple of levels. This is a waste of gold. Better gear will help you level faster and keep you from dying longer but purchasing new gear every level can get costly without improving on the gear you had. If you quest you will get gear and weapon upgrades. Any item that is green blue or purple can be disenchanted and the mats can be put up at that Auction House. You can also put your profession items at the auction that are leftover from leveling your profession skill. Their is an add-on called Auctioneer. This add-on automatically searches the auction house showing you what items sell for, and what items you can purchase that are below what items normally sell for. Be careful when downloading add-ons, your account can get hacked. www.Curse.com also has Auctioneer you can download.

www.thottbot.com and Quest Help

Many sites offer quest information but I use Thottbot it is a great site for looking up the quest you need help with. You just have to know name of the quest and it will pull up all the information from other users have posted about the quest. This will save you tons of time and frustration if you know where to go to finish quests.

Use the World of Warcraft Armory

The Armory will show you automatic item upgrades, and will allow you to research other players in the game. Type in your characters name and you are on your way to see you guild stats, character stats, or stats from others in your guild or in the game.

You Can Set Key Bindings

Key bindings will help you in game. You can set auto target, run, jump key bindings so you only have to press a key on your key board. I usually set the auto target so I can keep attacking instead of clicking all over the screen to select the next target. Research your key bindings and try it out. If the key is on the other side of the keyboard bind the key that is closer for you.

Auto Self Cast, Show Target, and Auto Loot

In your interface options you can set these to automatically work for you. Auto self cast is casting on yourself instead of clicking on your picture then clicking on the spell. This can save you if you are close to dying. Show Target shows your target and what they are casting or doing to you. Often you can interrupt spell casts or heals if you can see what the enemy is doing. Auto loot allows you to pick up loot with out having to pick up each item in the loot.

Shift Click is Your Friend

Shift right click on items will allow you to split stacks of items, link items to others in chat, and link quests to friends and guild mates. You can also shift click on your battle ground icon on your mini map and pull up a mini battle ground map!

Ask Guards in Major Cities and Use Your Mini Map

If you find your self lost in a major city you can always ask a guard. They will put an arrow on your mini map to show you where you need to go. Use your mini map in towns to locate repairs, trainers, and vendors.

Profession Trainers Will Tell You Where to Go Next

If you can not be trained any further from a profession trainer - the trainer will tell you where to go next.

Weapon Masters are Located in the Major Cities

Training in different weapons will allow you to use weapons you might not other wise be able to use. Certain classes can use certain weapons.

Set your Hearth Stone to Shattra

Get a port to Shattra from a mage. You can then set your hearthstone to an inn there and use the portals to navigate more quickly to the major cities. Always tip the mage if you can.
