KEmperor, you missed /s and /y (say and yell)

How about /bg? Isn't it supposed to be like /raid?

In that case /bg as well.


Well yeah, I did forget say and BG is basically the same thing as raid.

However, I don't think we should be advising newbies to start yelling random items.

There's a NPC that I've seen in UC TB and Org that wants commandments(I believe). They ask for 1 or a group of 10. I can't seem to find out what it's all about. Is it from BGs? I have been doing WSG and haven't recieved any.

Thanks again, I like this thread.

Edit #2 Ok editing again with what I think is the right answer :) The Commendation Officers are basically only useful if your server hasn't already completed the Ahn'Qiraj War Effort. If the war effort is still going on, you can turn in various items such as bandages, fish, and leather to NPC's in the major cities. Doing this gets you commendation signets, which you can then turn in to the Commendation Officer for reputation and a reward item.

Hope that helps somewhat, I don't know many details as the War effort was basically almost over on my server when I started playing, and I have never been in Ahn'Qiraj :D

My question isn't about a feature in-game, but how do you get one of those cool faction sigs I see everyone with?

One way to avoid that is to go into the UI settings and enable one of the extra action bars. You can then put the potions in there so they will always be a mouseclick away, or bind key combos so you just have to hit Shift+6 (for example) to use the potion.

Each slot in the action bar can hold one type of potion, but it will keep track of all of that tyine in your bag.

Thanks to Princess PsiChi on that

I have picked up some good tips so far just browsing and in some replies to threads too that have helped. Simple things like auto run binding to my 3rd mouse etc

For now - I like the screen a little less cluttered as it were being new and macros and creating key combos seems daunting at first

However i am at 23 now rapidly running out of space - though ive already dirched the aspect of the monkey off my bars as its just rubbish :) Replaced with the more useful cheetah aspect :)

I try to keep my primary combat on my first bar set

Pet management and some tracking options on the second

then my skills and working - rest type icons on the 3rd

But i could do with some things at hand more quicker - even healing my pet - and as you metioned the odd potion


I have just journeyed through to stonetalon peak and my god i am depressed as a night elf should be :) But as i hit more battles with level 22 to 25 mobs I found sometimes needing better use of equip as occasionally a 1 on 1 battle turns suddenly to a 1 on 3 or even 4 - aaagh :)

By level 60, you'll have dumped all the trade skills from the bottom bar as you have time for professions while standing at the mail box. Also, don’t underestimate the aspect of the monkey, once you’ve put talent points into it stacked with the right gear it’s a god send. That Rogue missing Crit that his trinket gave him that missed as you dodged saves lives.

You might also consider the add-on Smart Pet which gives you a separate bar usable by both Hunters and Warlocks for pet management. It also allows you to cast a spell during pet attack so I’ve assigned a mouse side button to cause the pet attack it also launches Hunters Mark at the same time. For my Warlock I use a long cast time spell such as the soul stealer.

Add Pet Feeder for the macro it gives and instead of opening the bag and using the dog bone you just click the macro after assigning a food and you’re golden. I put mine right next to the pet portrait and it’s right where I need it.

Also, dont forget that you have 10 (?) main action bars. If you have some fast fingers, you will be press whatever the key binding is to switch betwix the action bars, thus effectivly giving you 108 slots in the space of 12.

Don't get too dependent at this time on various UI mods and add-ons, however. Blizzard is disabling a bunch of them with the expansion pack. While it's not entirely clear what will and what will not be disabled, it appears that the concern is specifically about mods that automate processes (like the various healbot mods, for example), which apparently will no longer be usable once the expansion patch goes live.

This was from the Scourge invasion which at this time is over (on almost all Realms) but according to Blue posts on the O-forums, the Scourge could invade again at any time. So you may be able to complete that quest at some time in the future.

You sure he's not talking about the AQ Opening Event Commendations?

Good Call on that one but generaly for the AQ opening Event but I thought those NPC went away after the Gates have been opened, atleast I do not see them on my server since the gates were opened (I will look around tonight). I have seen and talked to the NPCs about the Scourge invasion since we have stopped the first invasion.

Is there any quick way of removing all the damage/dodge/info that appears above my head during a battle? When I'm fighting in an instance, there's so much clutter over my head that I can't even see who I'm fighting anymore!
I'd be happy with just a little graph showing enemy health, or can I have all that damage info appear anywhere else besides above my head? Do I have to go into the combat log options and deselect everything?

Thanks!

If you go to the interface options menu on the advanced page on the right hand side are the settings for the scrolling combat text (the stuff over your head). You can change the settings so that it is turned completely off, or have it only showing some things. You'll see all your options when you go there. I agree, it can be pretty annoying sometimes :)

If you want to show just enemy health in a bar above their head, I believe you can just push V while in normal gameplay mode, it will toggle between having the bar there and taking it away.

Hope I helped!

the aq war effort takes place a few months after the server opens. on old servers it is long gone, but on newer ones, it can be going on right now or even in the future. i think the scourge invasion was a one-off event simultaneously on all servers and naxxramas is since available irrespective of server age.

Im not sure handon about websites showing the builds and options you have to choose from

But im new 9 days or so now, I was set to take on a Night Elf Hunter class after I read about classes on various guides n websites while waiting on my download to come in

So i would advise first just picking what appeals to you

I went for a Hunter as it seems newbie friendly and a good solo option so you dont have to get involved in groups and team play too early when your still trying to work out what the hell is going on :)

Though now im starting to join in some groups for quests and its great fun - the Hunters range is certainly the useful aspect matched with sending the pet in to take the hits and keep the target focused

But i advise looking at the official sites guides on classes - and deciding what you want to play as at first and what appeals to you out the info

On the selection screen in game you can play about a lot before you click the create option - so just cancel out and have a look at them all before you create

you can play more than the one - for now - one is enough for me ;)
