Aww, you guys are cute!

What specifically are you wanting tips on? Which classes to level, how to make good starter gold, which profs to level? We're pretty helpful around here most of the time, but some direction as to what kind of help you're wanting would be nice.

Definitely do recruit a friend, you get 300% xp for quests and kills, makes lvling fast. You can also summon each other to each other and the recruited account can grant half their levels to another one of your toons.

That being said if you do RAF with your wife have bags ready and some starting cash You will find quest gear/rewards cant keep up with how fast you level. Remember you can skip many of the collect bijillion of X quests and focus on the quest lines.

Also Ive learned to play near one another so you can explain things coordinate better, and remember be patient not everyone gets it right away. Haveing a good guild that chatty friendly helps specially if there is a good mix of genders so she doesnt feel singled out.

Uhmm thats about all i can think of off the top of my head.

Yeah, what's she doing with a dope like you?

I kid, I kid.

As for your question, what the above posters have mention works well. I would suggest before you get her her own account, let her try out the trial (or make characters on your account) and make different classes and make sure there is a class she will enjoy.

Also, you don't have to start a new account, just start over on a new server (I would suggest PVE) and make some new characters. The refer-a-friend is a great idea and on top of all the benefits others have said you get a free 2-person rocket mount for one of your characters.

Definitely level and experience the content, too much rushing, not enough enjoying. The nice thing about going slowly, is that you are more likely to get good at your toon.

If you are playing together I recommend a Paladin/Priest duo. My Fiancee and I were able to do most instances at level with that combo.

One good way to help fund a fiend on a new server is to start a DK. After the initial sequence - which is still worth going through however many times you've done it - you have a 58 char with enough gold to buy bags for your newbie couple.

Do be careful starting your wife on this road. It can be a slippery slope but good luck anyways.

Create a DK, farm the beacons for a mechanical chicken. AH that sucker for 4500g(server dependent and varies, got 4500 on my warrior's server, only 2500 on my main server). Buy enough bags for severe awesomeness.

Seriously. I too have a sudden urge to farm a chicken.

Anyone else miss the "with" in the OP's subject line?

lol.

Anyways, uh.

#1 thing you can do is Recruit-a-Friend.

That will get you lots of levelups, fast, and it works clear up to level 80 now! Triple XP, all the way up to 80. Avoid wearing BoA armor (weapons are fine since they do not have +XP), though, or you'll out-level your wife's new characters as she wouldn't have BoAs.

Not sure what your playstyle is, but one very solid powerful duo combination I've found, are two Paladins. One can be a Protection Paladin, and the other either Holy or Ret.

This combo will let you solo (well, duo) more crap than anything I can think of, in case your wife wanted to get some old achievements (like my mom does).

Paladin is a nice class because it has a very nice mix of utility -- it can tank, heal, and do some good decent damage and the class itself is fairly easy to master. Druids get four "specs", but they are more difficult to use IMO, more complicated. Paladin is also one of the few (one of 2 actually) classes with a natural mount speed buff, Crusader Aura. It also has a Rez, good Self-heals, an invincibility shield, and a total HP refill. No other class has the latter 2. Druids have instant flight form, which can be nice in some situations (especially if you want a miner or herbalist).

Paladin makes a good simple class to start out with, though Ret Paladin later on does get harder when you've got Inquisition and Zealotry to worry about (unless you have her play the Prot paladin).

As for helping her get started quick and easy, one of you should pick up mining/skinning, the other herbalism/skinning, but be sure to go out solo now-and-then if your XP should start getting too far apart.

Also, with Recruit-a-Friend, be sure to get as many characters leveled up as you can during RaF, be sure a pair of Death Knights are among those being leveled, so that you can get crafts up on your alts too if you want. This is what I did, and I'm dang glad I did, as the prices in the AH for things I can make myself in <10min work are simply out of this world. A great example is Bloodthirsty PvP armor, on some servers this crap goes for 1k or more gold. I can make that in 10-15min if I have to farm the mats myself.

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard on this board, but I guess it is pretty typical of most male gamers (thankfully, none that post here regularly). I'm sure our other females will agree that you are wrong though. I'm female and I play this game for progression (working on heroic Majordomo atm) and achievements, not to have a social tea party.

If some of his other posts are any indication, that's gonna be par for the poster, methinks.

Your WOWing brings all the wives to the yard and they're, like, "it's better than ours!"
