What i’m rolling

Ok, i’ve got less than a week until i get back to the college, i’ve got enough cash to buy the largest online time deal, and i’ve desided to reroll a Mage (with FF’s help) on the server, just one thing i can’t figure out what Race or what proffesions to pick… I’m thinking between Human or Draenei and but not sure which one to get and what the best profession will work with them. Anyone else willing to help a poor noob out?

Human is alright for a mage, but gnome would be better. Unless you plan to jewelcraft, then I’d recommend Draenei. But with the new profession coming out that allows you to tweak your spells, I’m definitely considering dropping alch and picking that up instead (assuming it doesn’t completely suck). Also, gnomes just have the pimp dance and harder to see for PvP The only thing human mages really got going for them is perception, but that can easily be done without.

As for the professions, I’d start out with skinning+ mining/herbalism just to bank some dough, and then drop skinning for a craft. I really like herbalism and alch, because now that some of the elixers now stack with spells, they really help out.

You should let me know when you start this guy out. I just rolled a draenei shaman on Alterac and it’d be nice to level up with someone.

I’m not a big PvPer. I don’t like killing anyone, only monsters; not a big competitive player, you know?

 

Don’t really like the little characters (Gnomes and Dwarves), i’m a tall guy in person so i like the tall characters… but i guess i could work with it being a Gnome, kinda sucks having that +15 to Engineering and just leaving it, reason i wanted a Human or Draenei.

 

FF said that Tailoring and Enchanting was good but expensive to do but i get some items for myself out of it so was thinking about them. but i’ll start with Skinning and Mining. i also begin hopfully on the 17th/18th when i get there, or however long it takes for the payment to go thru and service to activate… not to mention updating and getting some new mods… What dorm are you in so you can help me pick some Mods and help set me up? I’m in Central.

Yea, when I first started, I picked tailoring and enchanting as well, but I was poor as poor can be. The thing about tailoring is that all the good items, the epics, you can really only make them for yourself, so its kinda hard to make a profit. So what a lot of ppl do is wait until they get the patterns to the armor they want and then take up tailoring (usually dropping a gathering profession becasue they’re the easiest to level up, and profitable in the process). Really, besides that… everything other than the epic items you can make (which are BoP), you can buy the stuff pretty cheaply from the AH.

Enchanting is good mucho later in the levels and you’ll make a good asset to whatever guild you’re in. Though, again, good to start later on after you reached a decent level with money in your pocket.

As for the gnome, yea that engineering goes to waste, but you do get a 5% increase to mana. And even though you may not be into PvP, Alterac is a PvP server But really, what’s important is what you’re happiest with.

And, haha, yea, I’ll be moving into Kellum Hall… which is at FSU So sorry I won’t be able to help you out there.

As for add ons and mods, check the thread I started. FF and some other guys gave good suggestions.

Yea, the bags and some of the lower level blues sell, dreamweave for example. I still think a gathering professions are more profitable though. Like today, I farmed in tanaris for about an hour and half and I made 25g off of the iron and solid stones sales alone. Still have 4 stacks of Mithril Bars waiting to be sold at 13g a peice. But really, you can make gold off of anything, save for engineering. Can even play the AH.

Before I quit (right as BC came out) I bought a bunch of black lotuses very cheaply from some farmers, 12g/4. Was really planning on using them for flasks and such, but now they’re selling for 25g pop. But yea, off topic.

My undead priest is currently skinner/miner, but when if I ever level him past 49, I’ll be dropping skinning for engineering. I’m kinda excited Btw: I wish you guys were horde on alterac. Being undead with will of the forsaken is pretty much the best thing for pvp. Plus, the undead shadow priest with the undead epic mount = the coolest looking character ever.

Meh, horde . I’m not a huge PvP person, I’ve been grinding honor for the past week or so when I have had time for the bracers/belt/etc. Other than that, I’m a PvE carebear that loves downing bosses.

 

Yeah, the herbs I’ve been gathering in outland I have been sending to my warrior since she is Alchemy. Need to get her to 50 (48 now) so I can get to 375 Alchemy and use some of the like, 300 Felweed I have >_<.

Aw man, I hate leveling. I like raiding and especially learning an instance from the ground up. We had to do that with MC. But doing the whole grind to get to that level… I find it so boring unless I have someone to do it with. I only have one high level and it took me so long to get him to 60, because I PvP’d so much. Now it’s gonna take me a long time to get him to 70 because I PvP on my 48. Needless to say, I was kind’ve disappointed when they announced the new xpac and the new grind to 80. After awhile, they level cap is gonna be so high, I’ll probably just give up.

Oh, and the pots you can use at 300+ are so nice. Especially as a mage, I like the +24 dmg and +30 to intellect/spirit combo. They’re insanely easy to make and I get more mats than I can use, so woop, there they go on the AH.

Yeah. Maybe at some point I can unfreeze my account again and play as Whizzle s’more. Hehe. Whizzletop. Glad I thought of that name. Kinda funny. And fitting for a gnome.

We’re on Alterac Mountains. Another gnome warlock? Woot :>

Now if only we had more people

I keep trying to get back into the game buy I always get bored >.<

How do YOU always get bored? You haven’t even hit 50 yet >_>. Kappa gets bored because he’s done everything already, essentially.

It is rough to find people, yeah, but it isn’t hard to move to another area. And I told you I would play my warrior with you, I’ve been waiting for you to get to her level to play her more, heh.

i have a 70 hunter >.> but i rarely play anymore…i’ll start a character up if anyone wants a buddy to level up with lol…i can get to 30 within like a few days…i used to play too much >.>

i’ve downed all kara, HK maulgar, gruul, first 2 bosses of SSC…and then i quit lol

I’m still debating on whether or not to reinstall and buy a couple months.
