World of Warcraft

being fucked trying to progress because of the lack of a decent guild and the fact that I play late at night mostly.

[thatshortguy]

For no good reason, I wanted to show you mah rogue.

Here ya go.

Yes, my guild is named Lister's Minions. Not a play on Red Dwarf, per se (I've been so tempted to start a guild named either "Should Be Nerfed" or "Smegheads".) It's a play on Lister from Diablo II.

So, yeah, not the best rogue to ever walk the Azearth, but he gets the job done to da back'o'yo head.

Well, I broke down and started my 10-day trial on Friday.

Server: Dalaran

Rintrah, the Tauren Shaman lvl 6

Enjoying it so far. Extra nerdliness points for anyone who figures out where the name comes from.

Hit 54 tonight; tomorrow I'm going to try to clean up all my green quests.

Just 4 more levels before Outland

I'm also kinda playing again, I have a 6 Tauren Druid named Thur on Venture Co. I mostly just play with TOG & KyKy when they're on.

Use the wow realm forums and www.wowwiki.com to check realm histories so you can get a good idea of the kinds of guilds and progression/pvp the server has. It's good for deciding to transfer, or making a new character

[apsham]

I'm downloading the 10 day trial right now and it's at 69.. all morning I've been waiting and God knows how smoothly it'll even run on this computer.

Oh well.

[Your Mom]

So alot of people from here actually play now? I remember when I tried it we had a hell of a time getting 3 or 4 people together.

[apsham]

Apparently I'm supposed to join a certain server so I can pal around with KyKy, TOG and Cloudy.

[apsham]

Double posting, yadda yadda yadda.

I joined the server, but with none of them around I started a character to play in the meantime, a Human Warrior and experimented with the game like that. I got up to level 6 and started the skinning profession but I just had a few questions;

1) Skinning seemed like a good idea, but which of the others should I choose, what would benefit me the most?

2) In some quests, like the one where I need to take out a thief... other people can get to him\them\it before I do... so how long does it take for him to come back?

[Chris the Human]

Anyone play on any of the RP realms? Been trying to find something a little more roleplay focussed after two years of playing on PvP servers

[apsham]

The one that Cloudy, TOG, kyky and I play on is RP-PVP

To answer your earlier questions, I would suggest Mining as your other profession. Gathering professions are the best for money and Skinning is cake to level up since there are so many damn mobs that can be made into basketball material, yo. Just be careful not to out-level your Mining skill, as it can be a pain to go back and re-trace your steps...so if you can mine it, get it.

Regarding the mobs, some are on a set respawn timer, while most are now on a dynamic timer which reacts to how many people are in the area and how quickly it's being killed. You can sometimes find out the respawn time by looking the mob up on Thottbot.com or Wowhead.com.

Your skill in Nerd has increased to 372.

Yes, skinning is awesome.

I prefer the turtles near Revantusk Village in The Hinterlands. Easy kills, and not only do you get a ton of thick and rugged leather, but also turtle scales, which sell for a lot.

[illmatic]

Skinning sucks you cant make shit for money with skinning. Mining + Enchanting = gold.

[kale]

To be honest, enchanting isn't really all that much of a money maker unless you have enchants that very few people or no one else does.

Word, just watch out for Gammarita. She can be a pain. Personally, I prefer the turtles just outside of Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris. Great way to get the moolah for your lvl40 mount if you need to. Hinterlands are good as a way to stockpile money for your epic ground mount.

Ill, sorry to say, but I partially agree with kale in the sense that Enchanting isn't as consistantly good for money as Skinning. While Skinning gets you a decent amount of money throughout (and gets above average cash from Hellfire Pen onwards), Enchanting can be a monetary black hole until you reach 350 or so.

[illmatic]

I can make a ton of money with enchanting. I dropped my skinning when it was 375 cuz it was making crap money so i picked up enchanting.

[MalaCloudy Black]

You can solo Gammarita easy if you're the right class. Heck, I even managed to solo her with my holy paladin.

[thatshortguy]

Agreed on Gammarita. She can be a pain the butt as an add, mainly.

Ill, I'm guessing you already had your epic ground mount, so you had some more gold to throw towards powerlevelling the Enchanting skill. Which is fine, but I just don't suggest anyone getting it until they have their first flying mount purchased, or -- at the earliest -- when they have their epic ground mount.
