I'm having fun with my lvl 20 warrior. What get's me is some of the people. I'm trying to up my enchanting skills, so I'll enchant armor I find and then give it away. Some people think it's a trick and won't take some really nice stuff I'm trying to give them. They even get rude. I would take any nice armor someone gave me.

Your warrior is an enchanter????? blink.gif


Wow.... I wouldn't believe that one either. tongue.gif 95% of the warriors I know are either Mining, Blacksmith, Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, Axesmith, hammersmith, swordsmith, or an engineer.

Enchanting is a pretty painful and costly skill to take up. :/ My 20-something mage is in the low 100 skill area, and that's with all the stuff my warrior keeps feeding him to disenchant. tongue.gif
Vampire
I deleted my human mage (level 29) and started an Undead Mage (lvl 17 so far). I did it to play with my RL friends, but let me tell you, the racial abilities of the undeads OWN any alliance ones. Immunity to fear + increase underwater time? Oh yeah!
Zeni
I have enchanting on my Mage as well, though at level 30 it's already at the point where I need to go to Uldaman to the Artisan enchanting trainer now, which is ridiculous, as it's beyond a hassle to get her to appear and even worse to have to go there to learn new stuff again as I don't have enough gold or skill to max it right away.
Agallion
druids can go bear form if they get to close, problem solved
GregP24
I took enchanting becuase my bro took mining. He makes the armor and wpns, I enchant them.

I also took 1st aid, which made sense since I don't have healing spells.

How do you quit a guild?
Agallion
i did alchemy and herbalism so i can do armor spells to amke up for my leather


leave guild is /gquit
General
well i got bored of leatherworking so i dropped it.

I took up blacksmithing just for the purpose of making wpns. my rogue is at 39 and i have about 25g saved up. whoever said the money starts rolling in at 38-40 was on crack because ive been saving for about a week and thats all i have. at this rate ill get my mount at level 45

anyway

I dropped LW at 200 and skinning at about 289

I hope BS bring in some good money.
marsx69
From what ive read at the WoW forums, good money is had with using harvesting skills and just selling raw matterials. Have not tried that personally. I took all the seconday skills along with leather, seemed to make sense for a Tauren Shammy. Currently lvl 16.

Don't get to play as much as id like. sad.gif
Oh well maybe next year ill get to lvl 20 biggrin.gif
d3bruts1d
Yes, harvesting is a great way to make money.. but so is camping Scarlet Monetary when you get to be 55+ and can solo all 4 instances. tongue.gif

Any profession, smithing, tailoring, enchanting, whatever will take a hell of a lot of money to get your skill up, where as gathering cost almost nothing.

As far as professions, mine are:

Warrior (58) - Mining, Blacksmith, Weaponsmith, and soon to be swordsmith.
Mage (27) - Tailoring and enchanting.
Druid (11) - Herbilism and alchemy.
Rogue (7) - Skinning and leatherworking. Will also have poisoning and lockpicking.
Pally (7) - Mining and engineering.
Warlock (12) - Herbalism and skinning
Priest (7) - Herbalism and skinning

In addition, all characters also have fishing, cooking, and first aid at various levels. All three are allowed in addition to your choice of 2 professions. I'd suggest that you all take up these skills on all of your characters.

From my configuration above, the priest and warlock will be able to sell and/or support my rogue and druid as I need them. The pally will be able to support himself or get help from my high level warrior.

The best part about it, is my warrior can sit on a gold mine and then funnel cash down to help the other characters. tongue.gif On a single SM run, I'll come across 20-30 blue or green BoE items that I can send to my enchanter to disenchant. wink.gif
CelticaFLM
My lvl 55 rogue makes good money by picking pockets in instances :-) ..mainly ZF.

priest dominate warriors and rouges..just fear and kite them..they have almost 0 chance...

[right][snapback]459002[/snapback][/right]

A warrior that knows what they are doing should be extremely hard to fear, especially at the higher levels. We get two skills that make us immune to fear, and will break fear should someone cast it on us.... sheep, well, that's another story. tongue.gif

Also, with a Warrior's pummel we can interrupt and prevent spell casting usually long enough to kill any caster. Charge and Intercept are also a nice little trick, as they'll stun the caster for a few sec.

Usually when fighting a priest, I'll prevent them from casting a shadow spell with pummel... after that, the priest usually tries to run away and heal. If you stay on them hard enough, they'll use all of their mana trying to run. wink.gif

Though... this only holds true if the warrior is in zerker stance... any other stance and the warrior is gimp. wink.gif

Sorry to interrupt your discussion guys,. but I just wanted to know if there was something I was missing in regards to paying a recurring fee to play a game. Games like 10Six, The Matrix Online, and WoW turn me away because I just don't think you need to keep paying for a game over and over. Xbox Live is another example... Basically I just wanna know from the opinions of those who are already into it, how do you feel it's worth the recurring charges? Hell, I might be interested if your argument makes sense tongue.gif

Till then, see you in Kal wink.gif
d3bruts1d
I don't mind the fees. I have two accounts. One for myself, and one for Celtica. I paid both accounts in a 6-month lump sum. It's less noticeable (and cheaper) than paying every month. smile.gif

The money is well used in backing up your character's and other stuff. We've (at least I have on my server) seen a ton of improvement on the servers since the game went live. It's still not perfect, but a lot better than it was on day 1.

Since the game has gone live, they've added more quests, more skills, more dungeons, and more items. The PVP Honor System and Battlegrounds will be coming out soon which will add even more to the game.

Things like that make the fees worthwhile to me. wink.gif
kleptos
I have a level 30 rogue on shadow moon and i love it. I am broke as heck in the game and i am not sure how to get more cash. I have about 10 gold to my name and i am behind in my new skills. How should i be making cash? I have my skinning skills almost to 250 and my leatherworking almost to 160. Should i stop making leather stuff and sell my skins or what? I need cash and i need a way to make it.
General
right now im farming the crimson whelps in hope of getting a Crimson whelp pet. Those sell for about 25g at the AH. And seeing how im too lazy to actully go around killing elites and what not.

My rogue got to level 40 and i want a mount.

I also wanna know a good instance with alot of drops. Right now im using 24 dps and a 18.9 dps daggers and i think for level 40 that is preaty gimp

I have yet to lose to an eqaul lvl character with my warrior. It's all in how you set your character up.
General
Do you guys think you should be allowed to heal during a duel.

I kinda have mixed thoughts about it. (talkin about paladins / using pots)

On the plus side: A duel is supposed to simulate a real life PVP battle in which healing cannont be considered a bad thing

On the flip side: healing yourself doesnt really prove how good you are at dealing damage / killing the opponent

I donno. Any thoughts?


oh and btw i discovered a new place near storming. Its taht lake up in the mountains to the south of stormwind. it was the first time ive ever been there and i got all exitted


Also is there a way to make the screenshots saved by WOW a jpeg and not a tga or w/e they make em
General
Pfft im not waiting in line for 30 min.

dang fileplanet
Zeni
Well, Warlocks and Hunters get a big nerf in the next patch ( My Girlfriend has been messing around on the test realm. ) and the new epic mounts are pretty awesome, though some are a bit uglier than the current ones.

The Night Elf Sabers get much worse at level 60 now, as do the Warlock "Nightmares"
d3bruts1d
I need to hop on the test realm and see what the new mounts look like.. though, I'm not sure if I want to try and get an epic mount or one of the new mounts coming with the honor system rewards. tongue.gif


I've also added some more WoW Screen shots here. smile.gif
General
well i just went to the swamp of sorrows.

That is the most misarable place ive ever seen.
CelticaFLM
Felwood is pretty miserable ..but anyway..about the useing pots in dueling..as a rogue i think it should be allowed..i mean as a leather wearer going up against a warrior sometimes a little boost is all i need to win.

And about the priests/casters owning rogues..not always true..first of all it depends on the players...when you have the ability to use evasion, vanish, sneak back up on them, poison them so they cant cast, cheap shot etc....how can you lose? :-)
Agallion
true, it also depends on the situation, like if i KNOW theres a rouge around ill stay in bear form and if he attacks ill win (roots for teh w1n! lol) however if i my druid gets nailed in caster form or cat form..im generally screwd

The Draenor are ugly sum'bitches eh?
General
lol ya they are.


I dont think ive ever pvped a priest before. But i can handle mages preaty well.

bascily its

CS > Sin Strike > Sin Strike > Kidney Shot > Sin Strike > Sin Strike > (however many seconds i stuned him for) > Critical damage evisacrate

This is providing he doesnt polymorph me and runs away when hes got 1/8 health
d3bruts1d
I owned a higher level rogue with my mage the other day... he stuck up behind me and sapped me. I blinked out of the sap, hit him with frost to slow him down and then froze him in place... after that it was arcane to death. tongue.gif I didn't even have to pull out the sheep spell, which I would have as a desperation move.

Had he used a poison on me, I'd have been screwed. laugh.gif Darn nub rogues. tongue.gif

It just all goes back to the player and how they are specked out.


I got my first run in Scholomance last night... it's an ok place. A lot of caster and rogue stuff dropped though. :/ I still like Dire Maul, BRS, and Strathome better. If I had to pick my favorite so far it would be Strat.

I think Caer Darrow in Eastern Plaguelands is the most miserable place, though there are a lot of close contenders in WoW. tongue.gif

I like my lvl 26 NElf druid. All my talent points are in restoration. So I like to sit back in groups and keep everyone healed and buffed. When i run out of mana i drink some mana pots. I have plenty of them because my profession is herbalism/alchemy.
I do well in soloing too. Entangling roots/ moonfire/starfire/fairiefire/ then catform and melee if needed. Or, just cat form and sneek up behind them and shred, rip, claw, ect.
I dont use bear form too much anymore. I use water form when i need to travel fast and there is water near by.
I cant wait until lvl 30 when i get my travel form. I think its 50% faster than running. That will hold me up until i get my mount at lvl 40, which is 60% faster than walking.

Yea, pets are pretty useless( not hunter or warlock pets). I bought a hawk owl, its just for looks. It would be nice if i could have more than one pet following me at a time, like a mechanical squirrell and a hawk owl and somthing else.. It would look like i am one with nature and animals follow me around.
General
Well i just started my 4th proffesion in 2 weeks.

Enchanting.

bascily im just gonna dienchant stuff and sell it at the AH for some quick cash. Because right now, beating the money out of everything aint working too well.

You tried skinning and herbs? They sell good at the AH. wink.gif
General
No i had no idea they sell well.

Im gonna give this enchanting business a go then if it aint working out ill try skinning / herbs
Zeni
Yeesh, I haven't played in almost a week now, hasn't really occured to me to even log in since I got my PSP, and DW5 for the PS2..... this is all some sort of plan by Sony to steal my money and bring me over to the dark side....
General
I dont think ill ever get sick of wow.

anyway whats a good mid level (41) instance for a rogue. I want some new armor. Ive been using the same dang hunters armor that i got at level 35 in STV (hunters camp)
d3bruts1d
I'm inches away from 60, and I don't seen anything to stop me from playing. tongue.gif Not even my PSP can tear me away from WoW. wink.gif Though it does come in handy while your sitting there waiting for a group/raid to fill up, or on those long flights between Darkshore and Feathermoon. tongue.gif

As far as an instance to do in the 40-ish area... I think that Scarlet Monastery is right in that range. Maybe RFD also. To be honest, it's been a while since I've been there, and don’t remember. I'll look into it some more when I get home from work.

If nothing else, you could always check the AH for armor, or have a leatherworker make you some. tongue.gif


Also, any of the "gathering" resources are nice for making money. Skinning, Herbilism, or mining. Some of the higher end ore for mining sells for 4-5 gold on our server, and there is never enough in the AH. tongue.gif


On a side note, I hit 300 Blacksmithing/Weaponsmithing skill last night. smile.gif Now it'll be easier to save $$.
Iliad
Ya...SM is in 40's also so is Uldaman in the BAdlands, Razorfen Downs in the barrens..and 45ish go to Zul'Farrak

Just hit level 60!

...and I have 6g to my name. tongue.gif
General
Well i just got home from another long day at UPS. I hope my strange dust sold.

I took advantage of the server transfer and transfered my Paladin to Bloodscalp, made a Horde alt on Shattered Hand (server I moved from). Played him a bit, up to 22, now focusing on a Night Elf Druid on Shadow Moon. I have friends that play on Shadow Moon and absolutely won't move, so I've got to build up there.
d3bruts1d
I'm glad I didn't switch servers. I gave it a bit of thought at first, but really didn't want to move from a East Coast server to a West Coast one. Well, that and most of the people that I know in game stayed on Bleeding Hollow, so it's all good. tongue.gif

For the first time ever, I had a moment where my main character (Hyglak - 60 Human Warrior) had over 100 gold. I sold a lightforge belt in the AH for about 95 gold. $-)

I'm down to about 60 gold now after training, repairing (darn 4 gold repairs), buying a few smith plans, and distributing some of the gold out to alternate characters.

I saw a Warrior / Pally book in the AH (Foror's something of dragon slaying) for over 1000g. Apparently it drops in Dire Maul, so I'm going to hit that instance this week and see if I can find it. Need to go there anyway since I have the Codex of Defense quest to turn in.

The game has gotten more fun at 60. Cannot wait till Battlegrounds come out.
trace
i have a 35 orc shaman and i cant wait till i hit 40. just thought i would share tongue.gif
i WILL get 40 by the weekend tho :-)
RnDestroyer
I was wandering if i could use someones 10 day pass if you havnt used it yet neone who would b willin to let me use that email me at weird_guy81@hotmail.com thx or pm me here thx again
r_g
d3 u need to get that book, it has a quest in which you need the breath of onyxia for it. The reward is by far the best in the game. A 1h (ONE HANDED) sword with 53.2 (around) DPS. ONE HANDED!!! its so good. The same as most 2h weapons. OMG u needz that. GL hope u get it
Zeni
And then there's me, who has yet to touch WoW in about 2 weeks..... so many other new games drawing my interest, despite the fact that I have 2 chars past level 40, 3 that are within 5 levels of 40, and a bunch over 20.

I know I should get back to it soon, but sadly it hasn't really sparked my interest in a good while.

Hey- the patch is released wink.gif. I guess they really did mean they were going to give out more frequent patches.

Wow, the patch is out already? They've really started stepping things up. Hopefully this one wont take as long as before to download / update. tongue.gif Though you can get it faster from Fileplanet or XFire than you can directly from Blizzard.

Guess I'll have to call Celtica and wake her up so she can get my system downloading the patch. laugh.gif Maybe it'll be ready by the time I get home from work. tongue.gif




r_g do you know the name of the sword? If not I can TB it when I get home and find out.
lesterruckfort
SWEET!!!! i cant wait to try the honor system out. i think this is gonna be an awsome patch. just hope nothing happens like last time *knock on wood* tongue.gif
Reidhardt
Most gold I've had at one time was 270. I decided around that point I really didn't feel like wasting so much more time raising the rest of the 900 for an epic mount. I then went and blew most of it; I remember most of it I spent on all the bank slots and 16 slot bags.

My druid alt on Shadow Moon is now level 20. I'll be playing there with real life friends. The character's name is Yevalos.
