Wrath 101: PvP welfare gear

With gear upgrades these days being so easy to come by, I'm not so sure 'welfare epics' is such an accurate term for PvP gear anymore. That said, Arena Season 5 started the other day without so much as a whimper. It kind of crept in quietly, without even a patch to go along with it. I'm sure it's taken a few players by surprise to see so many new PvP gear available from different sources that it can get confusing. I know I wrote about it in an old post, but quite a bit has changed since Beta, an...

Basic defense gearing for the Death Knight tank

So you're level 80 and you want to respec to a tank build and head straight into tanking 5-mans. In order to be the best tank you can be, there's a very definite first step you should take, which we have discussed before, but which bears repeating: Get 540 Defense. This will make you immune to critical strikes from level 83 mobs, making it much easier to heal you in pretty much every situation, and it's really a prerequisite for serious tanking before any other stat.

FCC Comissioner: World of Warcraft causes college dropouts

Dec 11th, 2008Oh boy. Deborah Tate is an FCC Commissioner (and will be for another three years at least -- she was appointed for another five year term in 2007), and claimed in a speech about telecom policy and regulation last week that "one of the top reasons for college drop-outs in the U.S. is online gaming addiction -- such as World of Warcraft -- which is played by 11 million individuals worldwide."

Lake Wintergrasp

It was made very clear that Wintergrasp is hands down the best spot for farming Crystallized Whatevers if you don't have Mining or Herbalism. That's not the only thing that's easily farmed there, either. It's packed full of herbs and ore. It's currently the only place in all of Northrend that you can find Frost Lotus nodes.

Upcoming Hunter Changes

Blizzard Quote: Hunters of all specs, and particularly Beastmaster, are doing too much damage in PvE. We tested this a lot internally in beta and knew hunters were high but we hoped other classes would be able to catch up in a way they have as yet.

Learn all the alchemy transmutes on MapWoW!

In WotLK, the only way to learn these transmutes is by randomly discovering them. Previously this was a time-consuming process that required performing lots and lots of transmutes. However there's a trick to quickly discover all of the transmutes! Here's how:

Man makes 100,000 per year selling World of Warcraft Gold

So i was browsing the glider (WoW bot forums) the other day, and stumbled across something quite shocking. It was a "success" thread, posted by a guy over in Germany, who has turned gliding/gold selling in to a living. Throughout the countless questions and replies, he admits he makes roughly 100-120k per year just selling gold. In his first post, he gave the basics:

Blizzard now allows PVE to PVP server transfers!

Why are you now allowing character transfers from PvE realms to PvP realms? Because World of Warcraft has matured significantly since the inception of Paid Character Transfers, we don’t feel that PvE-to-PvP transfers will have the negative impact on the game that we initially wanted to avoid when we started the service in 2006. This change will provide more mobility and freedom for players to experience the game with friends or play in the type of environment they’re looking for.

Got a Zulaman bear mount? Kiss it goodbye!

While I know a lot of folks already have their bear mounts, in my opinion, this change kind of sucks. I have a small raiding Guild who I've been working with to get our bear mounts (with a few bumps along the way).

Basic Twink Guide

Twinking means getting the best gear possible for your lower level character. Most often it is done in order to dominate that battle grounds of your level bracket. If you plan to make a character for a specific level, it's a good idea to plan ahead. Many items can be purchased off the AH but some of the best items are from quests or dungeons. You don't want to over shoot and gain too much experience so that you ding, leaving all that time wasted.

Wowhead discussions - Online Relationships?

"As we all know by now, World of Warcraft has truly brought about some weirdos over the years. From couples in Korea neglecting their children to everyday marriages ending up in divorce, & lessons on how to Feign Death, we got 'em all. But if there's one thing to be said about this game, which like any other has its share of eccentricities, it's that there is a certain feeling of camaraderie."
