10 tips for those new to World of Warcraft

This isn’t going to be an in depth guide into how to complete each quest or what class/race to roll or what talents to take.

My goal it to make the new WoW player realise that they are having the most fun they will ever have playing WoW. Leveling your 1st toon is akin to sex. It will never be quite as exciting as it was the first time. You may be better at it and the people you do it with may be able to teach you a thing or two in later life but nothing beats the fun you have exploring and learning with people who are just as clueless as you are. Those fumbling, chaotic, and often hilarious attempts at trying to hit the next level or do a particularly difficult quest will live with you forever.
Don’t look at all those epic geared lvl 85 hardcore raiders with envy. They are more envious of you because they know the journey you have just begun and know what a barrel load of fun you have coming your way.

 

Cataclysm Rep Rewards

One of the easiest ways to get geared is to grind the reputation rewards. You should start these ASAP.
Follow the guide below to identify what rep you should be grinding.

A quick and dirty guid to Cataclysm Heroic Dungeons

This is a good basic guite to all the cataclysm Heroic Dungeons.
I have made this by combining a few different guides I have seen on the net and some of my own experiences but I will credit http://www.extrabagspace.org/ since a lot of it came from there.
I was going to include the Achievements but then I found this and I couldn't do a better job myself. Its a very nice guid.

For the love of WoW

I have recently broken up with my partner of 2 years. We were engaged at one point and to be fair for most of that time we were very happy. Mainly, I realise now because we only spent weekends together. See we live 80 miles apart. Last year she decided she wanted to see more of me so I started staying over more and more until I was there full time. That’s when things started to go wrong.

A guide for left handed enhancement shaman

Left handed???

Well yes its very important which hand you do what with. I use the mouse in my left hand so all the keybinds have to be accessible with my right. The easiest way is to use the number pad with my fingers and the direction buttons with my thumb.

The big Cataclysm Dungeon Difficulty Debate

Wrath babies is a term I keep hearing in trade chat. It describes those player who started playing during WotLK and implies that they don't know how to play because the content in WotLK was too easy. To an extent there is some truth in this because for some odd reason Bliz discarded the need to use crowd control in Wrath. But I don't think this just a CC issue. Mainly its the changes made to healing and some far more complex mechanics that are catching people out.Swiftness and people normally just log on and queue for a dungeon so if someone suggests doing a guild Heroic you have to leave the queue and re queue with whatever number of people you manage to get together.

In the Beginning

So here we go.

Please be gentle, this is my 1^st blog. No doubt I will mess things up for a while until I get the hang of things.

My intention is to mainly write about my experiences in WoW but I predict a few rants and musings from real life might make it into this place from time to time.
