The Deadmines
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
Hurray for another sick day. I decided to level for a bit and realized that I either level really slowly or my friends level really fast. Since I died multiple times while messing around with my Warlock, I believe that I just suck. And so ends the debate.
After running around for five to six hours, I finally gain two levels (though I did do some smelting and ran around the auction house and trained a bit). Puzzah! Running around in Redridge Mountains was a bit harsh though. On a PVP server running around by myself, I find myself getting ganked a lot. That’s not usually a big deal, I mean I understand if people are just dicking around to get some honor points, but out of the three times I was killed, two of them were from people with mounts. WTF?!?! I’m only level 17. Are these people bored? The only real legitimate death was from a 22 Mage that zapped me while I jumped into the lake for a quest. Oh well. After that, I decided to prep for the Deadmines.
As it turns out, there wasn’t a lot of prepwork. Yep. Fun stuff.
Some tips for Battlegrounds and more
Saturday, January 27, 2007 – Sunday, January 28, 2007
I was talking to a friend of mine, Vrishnak, about some things about WoW. It has been a while since I’ve played, and as far as I know, Vrish has never stopped playing this stupid game since launch. Here are some of the things we talked about:
Battlegrounds
– In every capital, there is a Battleground guy that’ll put you in a queue for the next battlegrounds.
– In the lower level battlegrounds, there will be a lot of twinks (alts) that will have really good shit to pwn your ass. Wait until level 40+ or so to do some battlegrounds.
– Doing the lower level battlegrounds is not really worth it since you can only purchase potions/food that can only be used in battlegrounds. Wait until later to earn honor points to get nice equipment that you can use outside.
For more information about battlegrounds, you can visit the WoW Wiki site.
Cooking
– Cooking is a good secondary profession to have.
– There are recipes that can give you 1000+ hps (probably exaggerating a bit, but here’s a recipe that gets close) or so which may be vital especially if you’re a caster class.
Alliance Leveling for levels 10-20
– Around level 12 or so, my Gnome Warlock was having a bit of trouble finding good quests (found only red/orange quests) in Dwarven lands.
– It is much better to move over to the Human lands and find some quests there to level.
– There is also an Instance in Westfall that you can enter at level 17.
