lvl40 Night Elf Hunter on Cenarius.

My gf has just bought a good computer so we can play together, so I'll probably be switching to a server where I know some people irl and starting a new char when she gets it.

Lvl 50 (nearly 51) NE Rogue on Bleeding Hollow. Though I think I'll be taking a long break at least until BGs comes out since GWs is nearly out, and CoV for CoH.

I wish I went with a different race though, Undead being the best overall (WoTF), but for alliance it'd have to be gnome for the most powerful (escape artist) with human and dwarf tied for 3rd. Somewhat ironically, I originally went with NE for the slight passive bonus that shadowmeld gives to stealth, but it matters so little I now don't care. Though to be fair wisp form is actually pretty nice on a PvP realm, saves a lot of time in the long run.

Then again theyre supposedely buffing other racial abilities to WoTF's level.

Um personal pride? I pride myself on the fact that I am a decent PvP'er. Furthermore, my server is very low pop, meaning that everyone knows everyone so if you do well in PvP people tend to remember that which is nice. As far as spending money goes, what else are you going to spend it on? It's not like it's difficult to get money in WoW. I can honestly say that it is much more satisfying going up against 2-3 horde and winning than completing UBRS for the 1800th time.

Ok, got a NE Rogue started on Silvermoon, only could play an hour or two tonite, so he's still gimpy. I'll get him up in the next day or so.

Look for "Kec"!

Drider_it 04-18-2005 03:02 AM

k the full rested exp is a joke. granted for non 60's its great but what about lvl 60 characters?

btw my mage Tenere on lothar was awarded 25g for his outstanding efforts in reporting bugs in the game. my best ones so far was reporting that on horde side the warlock quest to get the succubi was misleading in that the quest stated that you had to go to out side the city in durator at the tower(meaning the blimp tower) which in fact was the bird tower inside the city heh..

but in all ive reported over 50 gaming issues. current one is the warping of monsters using frost spells. my frost nova and frost bite is causing monsters to seemingly warp right to you when it breaks the traps. this is a false world placement. they are still where they broke the trap moving at you in a "slowed" state. took a bit to get used to.. i would cone of cold then flame blast just to realize that my coc was missing everytime. when the critter does die the server puts it back to its actual placement.

Haha, that's awesome. I'm going to start reporting bugs myself (and there are quite a few) Maybe they'll give me an arcanite reaper for my new warrior alt :D

Alveise, 55 NE Priest on Hyjal server.

Fun fun fun... I had my friend change my password so I wouldn't be tempted to play while I was supposed to be studying for my finals.. but I ended up using the password recovery after about a week and a half to get my password back so i could get my fix. No... discipline..

MrJones 04-18-2005 06:33 AM

Nice to see that also on this board WOW has made his introduction.
For a whole month I haven't been able to understand why the biggest part of my friends was so addicted to the game. Untill I was at a friends home who was palying at that moment. Just when he was in the middle of some quest he remembered that his food was still in the oven. So he ran back to the kitchen ordenning me to save his troll (as he wasn't near a road). Without really knowing what to do I managed to keep his char alive and even kill some thornweavers :lol: untill he got back. So this was how it all began for me. Now I'm an even bigger addict as they are. My gf nick has even changed to Why O Why :crazy:

Scorps 04-18-2005 10:25 AM

Im on Windrunner with:

lvl 33 NE Priest - Paintrain
lvl 19 Human Mage - Lucildence
lvl 19 Dewarf Hunter - Finhe
lvl 8 Human Rouge - Averdrigit


might start up another NE char sometime after they are all well over lvl 20 :D

Hah, I've found many ways to make money. I don't think other methods have been divulged in this thread yet, but...

In Orgrimmar, there's an alchemy merchant that sells a Superior Healing Pot recipe for 1.3 gold. You can EASILY sell it at the AH (right up the street, haha) for twice that. Same applies for pretty much every other higher level recipe. Buy out the vendor, jack up the price at the AH.

If you have enough money, buy out ALL stacks of cheap herbs at the AH and resell for a higher amount. There's been stacks of kingsblood on my server from someone who sells for 19s. They normally go for 60-80s. If you have enough gold (say, around 10g) you could buy out ALL the stacks and completely dictate their new prices. It may take a while to sell sometimes, but you make a killing and don't really have to do much for it. Sometimes someone will try to undercut you by 10-15s on an item, so simply buy it out and resell it - control the prices!

Another thing you can do is buy out common rare items (like Gem Studded Belt that sells for 3-4g) and raise the price by 1 or 2g. Most people that buy these low level rare items are those who have higher lvl chars that just send money to other chars they are leveling up ... and won't really care about paying a bit more ;)

So far the only potion I've come across that you can make pure profit on is greater healing pots. A stack of kingsblood and a stack of liferoot will run you about 1.3 - 1.6 g (sometimes very cheap like mentioned above). 4 stacks of 5 pots @ 80s each will get ya 3.2g - and they sell quite fast. The only downtime is when you purchase up all the herbs and need to wait until someone puts more up.

It's trivial income, but income none the less, especially for lower level chars that have a hard time saving up. Best part is you really don't have to work for any of it :)

Zeraph 04-18-2005 08:30 PM

Watch, now they'll nerf it within the next patch or two.

Any thoughts on that lasereth? Think it needs a nerf? I think something needs to be done, not neccessarily a nerf though, since that's head and shoulders above everything else, even most purples and especially the other blacksmithing lvl 300 weapons.

alansmithee 04-18-2005 09:01 PM

No way the Reaper needs a nerf. For what it takes to make, you could buy most purples. 20 arcanite bars is an insane amount.

Lasereth 04-19-2005 04:55 AM

Nah, it's not as good as everyone says. A Dreadforge Retaliator or Blackhand Doomsaw will get ya close to this DPS. Hell, my old Kang the Decapitator hit for 75% as hard and it was an epic level 44 axe. Is it a badass weapon? Yes. Does it hit hard and create a lot of rage? Yep! Is it the coolest looking weapon in the game? Yeah. It's certainly not overpowered though.

Seething 04-19-2005 07:58 AM

Fuck! I am stupid...

Cut to last night. I hit 39 on my warrior (with only 40g in my pocket :mad: ), I go back to Org, buy some plate equipment (which is more important than getting a mount immediately IMO), put up some auctions, and decide to do something else, instead of go back to the grind. Well today is my day off, so I thought "instead of grinding well into the early morning, I'll go to bed now and wake up rested and ready to get some exp and money". Now here's where I'm stupid...

Today is Tuesday! Weekly maintanence is always on a Tuesday, and doesn't stop until about 12pm my time. I open up WoW anyway, and it says the maintanence will last about 6 hours. I immediately get a funny feeling, as I had heard rumors that the patch would be released on 4/19. I try to go to worldofwarcraft.com....and it's taking forever...Yep, the patch is here.

I have another 3 hours to go until it "should" be back up. And when I log on, I'll know I kick ass, because the entire patch was devoted to Thunder Clap's improved animation. Blizzard; always hitting the core issues.

that's why one shouldn't be sick or play hooky on Tuesdays.

Bonesaw 04-19-2005 08:30 AM

anyone care to comment on the PvP Honor goodies?

I love that they are selling full sets of wickedly cool armor. Hell the mounts look sweet too.

Let's just hope that this patch runs smoothly and we can all play as soon as they are done.

Frosstbyte 04-19-2005 08:37 AM

Honestly, I think the PvP system is going to be a total waste of time. I think the idea is good, but the amount of work necessary to get any of the really cool stuff just isn't worth my time or energy. I mean, you put in a lot of time grinding instances to get the endgame gear and once you have it, it's yours. If you decide to take a while off from the game, it's still going to be there when you get back. With the PvP rewards, it's just going to be a constant grind to maintain a rank so you can keep using the gear. Not my idea of fun.

The way I understood it, is you could never lose your rank. Whether you just don't keep up your honorable kills or if you have a streak of dishonorable kills. I'll have to read up on it a bit more, though, in case I'm wrong.

Edit: I just read up on it...if you don't keep up with PvP, you can slide down ranks. That's rediculous...

So if you lose your rank, does your equipment just disappear?? And are the mounts that cost "90g" for the honor system also the new epic 1000g mounts? You don't lose those mounts if you slide down, do you?

zensheep 04-19-2005 11:05 AM

I'm looking forward to messing around with the PvP Honor System, even though I'm notoriously bad at PvP :lol:

Anyone play on Llane or Stormreaver? If so shoot me a tell on:

Shivering 60 Undead Mage (Llane)
Supernal 37 Tauren Shaman (Stormreaver)

Your equipment won't disappear, but you won't be able to use it until you get back up to that rank. Think of it as having a level 49 sword in your inventory, but only being level 48. And then imagine you have to grind players for a week until the next honor tally... They have an "honor tally" sort of thing at the end of the week and that's when you can go up or down in rank.

As for the mount, I'd assume that too requires you to be the corresponding rank. You won't lose it, but you won't be able to use it. So if you want to keep your 90g epic mount, you'd better start killing. And it looks really similar to the new epic mount art.

Honor system epic mount:

Lasereth 04-19-2005 11:08 AM

You can lose your rank if other players kill more horde or alliance than you. This will happen whether you want it to or not. You do NOT lose the armor and mounts you bought, you simply lose the ability to use them if you lose your rank.

-Lasereth

-Ever- 04-19-2005 11:15 AM

So there's definitely going to be people playing exclusively to keep/gain ranks huh. Things are going to be rather interesting from here on out, lol

Zeraph 04-19-2005 12:03 PM

Of course this patch comes out the day after my subscribtion time runs out and I have to take a break.
