World Of Warcraft Tips...

So i just got a ten day free trial and im trying it out, i might buy a 60 day card. But anyway im curious if anyone could give me some tips, some tricks of the trade. Im a elf rogue and things seem to be goin ok ive done a few quests and i think im a level 8 now. So does anyone have some quick ways to get xp or some tips i could apply to everyday quests or misssions.

Thanks!

Eh, my advice is to just play the game and learn as you go. If you want some help with quests (specifically, the location of quests), Thottbot.com is a great resource. Also, I find that if you look too much into what you are "supposed" to be doing, or what is the "proper" way of doing things, much of the fun gets stripped away. Just play and enjoy. ILostOnJeprody

I hear ya just kind of do it my own way, sounds good

anythings else anyone?

Some advice for me is let the game come to you, but at the same time keep atop of your crafting. WHen i say let it come to you just don't try and get too far ahead of yourself and spending all your money. What I would do if I were you is Skin and Mine until you are a higher lvl and then go back and skin all the lower lvl animals to do leather working maybe starting after lvl 60 or so. The two gathering skills allow you to make money and not spend it, but once again just make sure you keep atop of it so you can actually mine the ore and skin the beasts in the current area you are in. my other tip would be don't be a night elf lol just so you can get yourself down to iron forge since i like those areas best for low lvl questing but since you are anight elf already you are stuck in darnassus for a while lol ....

Anyways that's my two cents, goodluck in wow its a great game once you get higher up in lvls, try and enjoy it and don't get caught up in power lvl'n just to lvl its no fun. oh oh one more thing read the quests the stories are actually quite good, don't just find out the objective then find out where to go on Thot just to lvl (i used to do that afte rmy first lvl 70 lol) .... goodluck in azeroth, and remember there is a life outside of wow

-Get used to using hotkeys. If you can, try not to click any skills on your hotbar, but assign your skills to hotkeys instead. It doesn't sound like much, but it'll help you better concentrate on the action in both PvE and, eventually, PvP. It helped me learn the other aspects of the game much more quickly.

-As a Rogue, swords or maces are easiest to use for leveling. You get backstab eventually (you probably already have it,) which is a skill that requires daggers and that you be behind your target. While backstab/mutilate can ouput some impressive damage, especially in groups, most people go the Sword or Mace route for leveling as it's much easier for solo play.

-Pick gathering professions to make money. Mining/Skinning is a good way to go until at least 40. You can drop these professions at any time and pick something else if you want.

-Once you get to instances (dungeons) at level 18ish, try and find good players around your level to consistently run the instances with. It makes getting groups together so much easier, and playing with the same players makes the runs go a lot more smoothly.

-Have fun, but try not to devote too much time to the game. The game is quite fun on your first play-through, but you'll get worn down with grinding towards the end of the game if you put too much time in.

Anyways, World of Warcraft was fun while it lasted (three level 60s and one 70 for me), but I'm awaiting Warhammer Online with great anticipation. Every aspect of the game just looks amazing.. especially the focus on RvR with World PvP, the concept of persistent capturable strongholds (guilds control them,) siege weaponry, an extremely diverse set of classes, a lesser focus on the importance of gear in PvP, not to mention you don't have to grind NPCs and you can progress exclusively through PvP. My interest only really picked up recently when I saw some of the beta RvR video action floating around (a lot of Shaman footage, and some cool Bright Wizard clips), but now I simply can't wait.

With that said, my last tip:

-Drop World of Warcraft when Warhammer Online comes out in a few moths :)
