run the 5/10-mans a load until you get some gear from them (like t0 or similar). the t0 set drops in strat, scholo and brs. dire maul has some good gear for most classes too. when you have some nice blue gear together, join a guild/raid that is doing zul gurub and mc or aq20. you will then progress to bwl, aq40 and naxx. if you're not all epic geared, forget aq40 and naxx.

this "natural" progression may be skipped if a well-geared guild would take you along and equip you. new members in our guild normally go from blue to t2, because our lowest scheduled run is bwl. we only do mc, zg and aq20 on off days with a lot of alts. i do not recommend this, because you will miss out content and the learning experience. there is a clear difficulty progression that is not just based on gear.

of the "blue" instances, the easiest are brd (if you want to count that, it's a bit below lvl60) and lbrs. then strat and scholo, then dire maul + ubrs last.

in short: do some lbrs and strat/scholo for experience and gear, then go for dm/ubrs.

Most established and very well-progessed guilds won't accept members with inferior gear because they simply do no want to put the effort forth towards gearing up new members. Occasionally they'll lose a core member or two and need a replacement, but they need someone with gear that will be able to help them progress. In blues, you are essentially worthless to them.

Another reason why may not be the sole fact that they don't want to, but many guilds that are AQ40 and beyond don't even run BWL or MC any more. The gear gap between AQ40 and blues is just too huge, you'd just be a liability, you'd die every pull.

Your best bet as a new 60 would be to browse your realm forums and look for fledgling guilds that have aspirations for end-game, but haven't quite gotten beyond the 20man raids. Those would be the guilds to look for.

Newb question: is there a way to auto-shoot a wand by right clicking a mob? just like auto-attack. I'm too lazy to look down at the toolbar...

What is a good auction house mod ?

As a Hunter i have gathered some great loot and always do - I am getting used to knowing items i can throw right away in favour of either more leathers for me

more slots for drops for the AH

or more slots for good vendor trash

When i farm leather picking up gorilla hair and bristly whiskers can turn into a huge amount of vended cash :)

And i am 38 now in level - thinking about my mount

So I am looking for a mod that would help the odd identification of oooo is that good? is it a good vend or a good AH

I know greys are vends - whites are useable etc

Or the odd white item - is it really worth stacking for the AH ? do people use it

Obviously without any mod the hard way is keep it - get to a city - check the AH and find out

Having this info in the field would be very handy as a Hunter I am now not just farming for my leathers - but on the look out for good AH items as well as good vendor trash too

I tend to grind on a farming session until my slots are totally full of good items before heading back home to the AH and bank to stock my loot

Also these mods are legitimate of course? AH info mods etc? They are not like cheats or anything - im not interested in any cheat orientated stuff


One i have noted seems popular wowecon price mod ?

Yup auctioneer is the one. Legal, and very useful.

Get the full verison including Informant (Tradeskills that use the item, vendor prices, how many vendors actually sell it, 0 if it's drop only, so useful to see if you can go buy that recipe from a vendor or shell out AH prices) and Enchantrix.

Another addon you should look for is called Component. If you control-right click a white item, it will tell you which recipes you have that use it. I find it very useful for knowing what meat drops to destroy and which ones to keep for cooking.

in your guild or in the lfg channel. you could stand around in front of instances, but it's little use. mostly full groups arrive there.

for normal quests, people don't group that much because you can do them solo.

what is your class?

tank:
warrior, paladin, bear druid

puller:
tank or hunter

healer:
priest, druid, paladin, shaman

damage dealer and support: everyone else.

In WoW, people generally group together to explore instanced dungeons together. Randomly grouping with people to get the same quests done happens a lot too.

To find an instance for your level, simply talk to an innkeeper. If you would like to know what the abbreviations are, check out Jordster's WoW acronym and short form list.


edit: an instance is a dungeon that only you and your group has access to. If another group wants to explore the same dungeon, then a carbon copy of that dungeon is made specifically for them.

This way, there is no competition for the monsters and loot that are inside dungeons.

Well you said your 17, so they SHOULD be showing you what 'dungeons you can explore' pretty soon.

At your level though, you can do deadmines (or VC, for Van Cleef, the last boss, for short - DM is taken by a high level instance).

do I need to read all the storys of the games to enjoy it better? ive never played a warcraft game.

In answer back to the whole trick or treat thing

its the 1st Nov its all over today I think

I havent logged in yet but I now expect to see no pumpkins as the servers here in europe were down a little longer than normal

Rogues and Hunters can gain AP through Agi. (Rogues: 1 Agi = 1 AP, Hunters: 1 Agi = 2 RAP)


what does this mean????? i'm only a level 16 and i have no idea what i'm doin

When an item binds to you, you can no longer trade it (or put it up for auction). The impact this has is that when/if you replace the item, you can only get rid of it by selling it to a vendor, rather than trading it to one of your other characters or trying to sell it to another player.

This is called "Bind on Equip" (ie, BOE)



A similar process is used for very special drops off of main mobs, but those items actually bind to your character as soon as you loot them.

This is called "Bind on Pick-up" (ie, BOP)

you can bind keys to the toolbar spots. then you just hit the key with the wand linked in it, instead of clickin on the toolbar.


attack power (AP) adds damage to the dps (damage per second) of your weapon.

14 ap = 1 dps

so if you have a 10 dps sword and 14 ap (= 1 dps), you do 11 dps damage.
