Warcraft Horde Guides

1. Create a new charcter

2. Send that new character the items, gold you want him/her to send to someone annonymously

(if its just a text mail/letter then dont mind step 2)

3. Send the mail!

4. Log out and delete the character lol.

5. thus when the recipient gets the mail it will be ‘from: unknown’…

Dupe gold in WSG
At the end of WSG after all 3 caps, sometimes you cannot leave the BG and will eventually disconnect. If your scoreboard says ‘-2s till battlegrounds will close’, you know your game is bugged. *You need this to happen before you will be able to do the dupe*

* You can then exit out of the scoreboard.
* Trade your friend and put in the amount of gold.
* You log out and log back in. *Not the person you traded the gold to*
* Your friend with the gold will finally get disconnected. You both will have the same amout of money!

-You have to be next to each other when the game ends.
-I have not tested with items, only with gold.

For the BG to get bugged like this it basically needs to crash. It happens very rarely but it does happen.

Which of you accepts, trader, receiver or both?
Both of you accept and then only the trader logs off and logs back in.

Do you log off with the trade window open? or closed?
Does not matter.

Does the reciever leave the trade window open while you log off, or close it?
Does not matter.

Does the reciever do ANYTHING after the trader logs off? or stands still until disconnect?
Stand still until disconnected.

After much debate, character rerolling and tapdancing on the backs of hundreds of different types of mobs, I have decided upon the ULTIMATE soloable/PVE template!

I realize everyone has a varying opinion when it comes to these sorts of templates, however there were a few criteria I had in mind when creating this template.

1. Make excessive amounts of money.
2. Rarely, if ever, have to purchase ANYTHING from the Auction House other than weapons and armor.
3. A character which could provide his/herself excellent buffs without having to be a mage. This provides the benefit of superb armor, excellent damage and you don’t have to relegate yourself to the mystical professions.

So, that all being said here’s what I’ve come up with. I’ve put this to test up to level 30 with a Dwarven Hunter and it is BY FAR the best template I’ve come across yet.

Class:
Hunter (but can be ANY melee character)

Two Main Professions:
Alchemy
Herbalism

Sub-Professions:
Cooking
First Aid
Fishing

I’ve shown this to a few people, and oddly enough almost ALL of these professions (other than fishing) have proven to be highly unpopular. When I first created my character, I must admit I didn’t realize the huge benefits of both cooking and first aid, and selected them both without realizing I couldn’t drop them at a later time (they put me to 3 subprofessions)!

Now, let me break down each profession and how they allow you to become my idea of the "Ultimate Soloable Character".

Alchemy:

This profession, allows you to mix up some excellent potions which push all your attributes much higher than the norm, for periods between 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Buying instead of crafting your own potions is a never-ending money pit, and quite unnecessary.

Herbalism:

This is undoubtedly the most tedious, yet most rewarding, profession to level in the game. The grind can be quite tedious, IF you level this profession at very early levels. I recommend waiting to level 20 or so to even begin taking up the profession.

I first took alchemy around level 21 and simply ran around the areas where low level toons (level 5-15) roam. By running around the entire map in a circular fashion, I was able to level up my herbalism skill to 75 in just about an hour. After leveling up to journeyman Herbalist, I headed back out and hit 100 in another 30 minutes. Not bad at all. I highly recommend leveling herbalism in this fashion, as you don’t have to worry about mobs in the area, as most of them will drop within 1-2 hits.

Also, obviously to be completely self sufficient in alchemy, you have to be an herbalist as well. Alchemy without herbalism is useless.

Cooking:

The first subprofession I have chosen is also a highly unpopular profession within WoW. However, for those of you who aren’t already cooks what if I were to tell you all those pieces of boar/bear meat you’ve been selling to NPCs could have given you some EXCELLENT buffs? Buffs you typically pay for?

Here’s an example, since level 20 I’ve been creating "Curiously Tasty Omelettes". These omelettes require only a raptor egg and 1 bag of hot spices. The raptor eggs are available in abundance from just hunting in areas such as the Wetlands, and a bag of hot spices runs you 10 copper at your local cooking establishment.

Whenever you consume a food for more than 10 seconds that has been created by a chef, you get a buff called "well fed". This can result in any number of buffs to your character depending on the food eaten, but for instance the curiously tasty omelets grants me +6 spirit and +6 Stamina for 15 minutes. Considering you make these omelets in batches of 5 at a time, it’s an excellent value. And as you progress through the game and begin picking up higher level drops from mobs the food and buffs only get better.

So DO NOT SELL those pieces of boar meat/bear meat/eggs etc you pick up just during your regular hunting grind. Use these instead to up your cooking skill and create foods which will grant you some great buffs.

First Aid:

All those pieces of wool/linen/silk you’ve been picking up AREN’T just for tailors and leatherworkers. Instead of selling these to the vendor, take up the First Aid profession instead.

Here’s the aspect of first aid I absolutely love……you can heal YOURSELF quickly and efficiently purely from drops. There is no need to head back to the local auction house and begin bidding on healing potions. You can just create your own healing items out of common humanoid drops.

For instance, with a single wool cloth you can create a bandage which heals you for 167 damage. With 2 pieces of wool cloth you can create a bandage which heals you for 301 damage. It only gets better with silk, 1 piece of silk will give you a bandage which heals you for 400 damage!

Fishing:

Many of the foods you’ll make as a chef require fish. Instead of shouting in town for specific food components, just go out and fish for them yourself. Not much to explain here, fishing is pretty self explantatory. But again, the idea of this template was to be TOTALLY self sufficent outside of armor and weapon purchases. Fishing/cooking allow this to happen. You really shoudn’t have one without the other, as some of the fish-based dishes you’ll make grant amazing buffs.

An analysis of my character prior/post my "self created" buffs:

So let’s do a little analysis of my completely unbuffed level 30 hunter prior to taking ANY of my self created potions, or eating my tasty omelets.

Stats Prior to Potions/Food:

Strength: 67
Agility: 86
Stamina: 101
Intellect: 53
Spirit: 71
Armor: 938
Health: 1130

Potions I’ll be Consuming:

Now, these are potions I take as a hunter at level 30, again I created these ALL myself just through the herbalism/al
chemy profession. Buying all of these at the auction house on a regular basis would cost you a FORTUNE. This way, you can do it for free………and while you are collecting the herbs yourself you’re gaining XP for both your professions and overall leveling. A win/win situation!

Elixir of Ogre’s Strength (sells for 40-75s on AH)
– Adds 8 Strength for 1 hour
Elixir of Greater Defense (Sells for 60s-1G on AH)
– Adds 250 Armor for 1 hour
Elixir of Agility (Sells for 50s-1G on AH)
– Adds 15 Agility for 1 hour
Elixir of Fortitude (Sells for 40s on AH)
– Increases Health by 120 for 1 hour

Food I’ll be Eating:

Curiously Tasty Omelet (Stack of 20 Sells for 75s on AH)
– Grants +6 Stamina
– Grants +6 Spirit

Stats Post Potion/Food Consumption:

Strength: 75
– An increase of approximately 12%
Agility: 101
– An increase of approximately 17%
Stamina: 107
– An increase of approximately 5%
Intellect: 53
– No increase
Spirit: 77
– An increase of approximately 8%
Armor: 1218
– An increase of approximately 30%
Health: 1412
– An increase of approximately 25%

So across the board we have SIGNIFICANT gains in stats across the board. These stats result in MUCH more powerful attacks (both ranged and melee) equivalent to being 3-5 levels above your current level. And the best part about all of this? It’s absolutely free with this template.

With just a single potion of each above, and 4 Omelets (to equal the one hour buffs of the other potions) you’d pay anywhere between 2 gold to 2.3 gold on the auction house. This is quite simply impossible to accomplish without unloading a TON of cash on these items alone, but you will obviously suffer greatly in the armor/weapon department.

With this template you will be a BEAST, and can regularly solo mobs 2-3 levels higher than you, however don’t go any higher than this as the "miss" rate is far too high beyond this threshold (although with these buffs if it wasn’t you could destroy mobs 5 levels higher).

Monetary Benefits:

The main money maker here is herbalism. Most high level players have a large amount of gold on them simply from drops. Existing high level Alchemists have become quite dependent on their high level potions, however aren’t big fans of the grind of collecting herbs to make them.

Also, many times you simply have people out there who are re-rolling (or have purchased online currency) who are grinding alchemy purely by purchasing items at the AH. Take a look next time on your server and check out the prices of the following herbs:

Wild Steelbloom
Stranglekelp
goldthorn

All three of these herbs are EXTREMELY vital to many of the potions I listed above, so there’s no surprise to learn that just 2-3 of each of these herbs can get you in excess of one gold a piece. Also, keep in mind in herbalism each time you harvest a single node of herbs you ALWAYS get 2-3 pieces of the herb at a time. So it’s simple, harvest just ONE node of Wild Steelbloom and you’re pretty much guaranteed 1 gold. And when you take into consideration you only need to have a level of 115 to harvest Wild Steelbloom, there aren’t any MAJOR roadblocks to entering this highly untapped market.

I’ve made 20 gold on the AH in just the past 2 days of light playing, strictly selling steelbloom. With this money I’ve been able to purchase some excellent rare weapons and armor. In combination with my self-made mega buffs these weapons and armor make me even more powerful when soloing mobs. When grouping is a MUST (for certain elite quests) I’ve had folks 3-4 levels higher than me who comment how strong I am, mostly because the mobs they attempt to tank always seem to aggro me! How embarrasing for them! To feel gimped when partied with a guy 3 or 4 levels lower than them.

Final Thoughts:
Again, I realize templates are all about individual playing styles, but after much tinkering and playing in the world of WoW I have found this template to be unparalleled in terms of near total self-sufficiency, while still allowing the character to make large sums of money in the open market.

Have fun, and please feel free to post your own templates or additions.

If you can mind control someone on the opposing team, and have the mind control active when they die, they will not be able to ressurect. They are now tagged as your faction and can’t find a graveyard. It’s possible that the only way to fix this right now is to log out/log in or afk out and get the deserter debuff.

Steps:

1. One faction priest (or possibly an engineer with MC cap) casts MC on opposing faction team member.

2. MC is still active when they die.

3. The dead player is now out of the game for a while.

The key for all aspiring young blacksmiths is finding the raw material you will need to craft your creations. Therefore it is highly recommended that you take up the complementary skill mining along with blacksmithing or have several friends who are dedicated to mining for you. Like other materials related crafts blacksmithing requires 1 skill point to become an apprentice, 3 additional skill points to become a journeyman, and 5 additional skill points to become an expert. If you decide to take up mining as well to finance your blacksmithing venture, you will need to spend 3 skill points for apprentice mining, 5 additional skill points for journeyman mining, and 7 additional skill points for expert mining. As a result, unless you are human you will need to reach level 25 before becoming expert in both mining and blacksmithing.

Blacksmithing requires perhaps the most eclectic array of materials of any of the crafting professions. In order to craft some of the higher end weapons and armors you will need to collect materials from all of the gathering disciplines (Fishing, Mining, Herbing, and Skinning). As an example, in order to craft the Shadow War Axe you will need an alchemy Shadow Oil potion from an alchemist which in turn requires an Oil Blacktail fish from a fisherman along with other herbs. But for the most part your main components will come from mining so here is a list of the more common components you will need in great quantity listed in order of difficulty to attain (number in parentheses is the mining skill required).

Copper Bars (1) Your basic copper acquired from Copper mining nodes found in most hilly and mountainous starting zones (e.g. Dun Morough, Elwynn Forest, Durotar).
Tin Bars (65) These are found in Tin mines in lower level zones (e.g.Barrens, Loch Modan, Redridge)
Bronze Bars Bronze bars are smelted by combining Copper and Tin bars.
Silver Bars (75) Silver mines are quite scarce and found occasionally in place of a Tin or Iron mine.
Iron Bars (155 bug should be 100) Iron Mines are found in mid level mountainous zones and are usually guarded by ornery inhabitants of those zones (e.g. Alterac, Thousand Needles, Stonetalon)
Steel Bars Steel bars need Iron bars to lend them strength and Coal (from a trade vendor) to ensure the fires of your forge burn hot enough.
gold Bars (155) gold mines are a precious and rare commodity and can be found in place of Iron mine.
Mithril Bars (155) Mithril mines deep in the heart of the mountain yield an abundance of Mithril, unfortunately no blacksmithing formulas currently use it.
Truesilver Bars (155) not yet implemented Truesilver mines currently give you iron ore

In addition to metal you will also find stones inside mines which are also needed to make sharpening stones to add weapons damage and grinding stones used in almost all recipes.
Rough Stones Found in Copper mines
Coarse Stones Found in Tin and Silver mines
Heavy Stones Found in Iron and gold mines

The final element you will commonly need to create your weapons and armor is the gemstones. Some can be found mining while others need to be acquired either from killing specific creatures or from fishing. In order of difficulty to obtain though not necessarily rarity:

Malachite Copper Mines
Tigerseye Copper Mines
Shadowgem Copper Mines
Small Lustrous Pearl Fishing or Small clams from Murlocs
Moss Agate Tin and Silver mines
Lesser Moonstone Tin, Silver, Iron, and gold Mines
Iridescent Pearl Fishing or Large clams from higher level Murlocs
Jade Iron and gold Mines
Citrine Iron and gold Mines (and Dragons)

As in all of the trade crafts the difficulty of an item to make directly impacts how likely you will gain skill points from creating that item. Orange items will always give you a skill up. Yellow items will usually give a skill up. Green items very rarely give a skill up and grey items will never give a skill up. My suggestion is to always create orange or yellow items which require only ore and grinding stones as those two are your most common components. This will allow you to skill up quickly to the point where you can start selling some of your items at which point you can use your more rare ingredients to create items that people will actually want to use.

The blacksmithing trainer in all the major cities have the exact same stock formulas so there is no need to run around to different city trainers looking for different recipes. There are however special trainers scattered around the world that will teach you additional recipes. The three available in the alliance push are in the Stormwind Dwarven district (Hardened Iron Shortsword), Booty Bay (Moonsteel Broadsword), and Refuge Point(Solid Iron Maul). In addition to specialty trainers there are two other ways to acquire more formulas. Monsters will occasionally drop recipes relative to their level. And certain trade vendors in remote cities will sell smithing recipes (such as the golden Chain Helmet in Tanaris).

Step 1: Spam WTT (60 CLASS HERE) for (w/e u want). Say you have pretty nice gear.. I usually go with full tier 1 6/8 tier 2.

Step 2: Get your victim.

Step 3: Talk to them on aim or w/e.. tell them that you’ll transfer your character to their account and theirs 2 yours. and that you will pay for it all. If they say ‘horde and alliance dont work on the same pvp server’ show them this

If they say ‘Last names on accounts need to match’ say ‘Na, Blizzard just doesnt approve of it so dont tell anyone or we’ll get banned.. read this,

WARNING: You may only request character transfers from one account where you are the subscriber to another account where you are the subscriber. Any attempt to transfer a character from an account where you are not the subscriber could be considered a violation of the world of warcraft Terms of Use and could lead to Blizzard taking disciplinary action against your account, including, but not limited to warnings, temporary account suspension, or permanent account suspension, as determined by Blizzard.’



Tell them you’ll need their user/pass and you’ll enter your credit card info. When you get it go 2 parental controls, and copy Verifying your account and the SQA.. tell em you need it… dont stop there… type ‘LAST STEP!’ type their email, and put Password: under it. It’s amazing how gullable people are and if you get it… change it.

This came out of a response to another thread and ended up being a detailed grinding guide. I hope this helps you struggling LWs out there. I know I wish I had it when I was wallowing in the mid 200s.

200-220(ish) Thick armor kits http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4617

215-230 Big Voodoo Robe http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4064
Youre going to have to buy the pattern but it really shouldn’t be that expenisve. A few stacks of armor kits will cover it easily. To make these, you need flasks of mojo. Back in the days of grinding LW I was stupid and didn’t know where to get these. Well, Hinterlands trolls GIVE these things away like Halloween candy. The beauty of this is that you can grind on the turtles at the shore line (and collect scales too) then for a switch you can beat on trolls for awhile and get mojo all without changing zones.

ALTERNATE OPTION

220-235 Tough Scorpid Bracers http://www.thottbot.com/?i=7601
If youre not into the whole mountains and oceans theme but would rather climb sand dunes and bake in the sun, these are for you. Tanaris and Burning Steppes scorpions drop these at a decent rate and are plentiful. Burning Steppes has a better drop rate but you need to be in your mid 50s to get them.

Life gets MUCH easier from here…for awhile

230-245 Nightscape Pants http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3149
The great thing about these are they don’t have any ridiculous secondary mats like turtle scales or scorpion scales and are available from your trainer. They are however, leather hogs. The plus is though, they DE into Dream Dust and Greater Nether Essence which sell very well. You do have level 5 AH whore that can DE don’t you???

235-250 Nightscape Boots http://www.thottbot.com/?i=6735
(see above)

250-265 Rugged Armor Kits http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5749

260-275 Wicked Leather Bracershttp://www.thottbot.com/?i=14890
260-300 is the return of the suck. All the patterns are either drops or specialization patterns. Youre just gonna have to fork over the coin. If you have a good guild, see if someone has a few of these patterns gathering dust in the bank. These bracers (along with all wicked items) are great to skill up on and rogues will buy them. If you don’t want to or have trouble selling them, they DE into Dream Dust and lesser eternal essence.

280-300 Wicked Leather Headband http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5404
If you can limp your way up to 280 Then these will take you all the way to the promised land. They sell well (as long as the AH isnt flooded) and they DE into Dream Dust and Greater Eternal Essence. I still make these from time to time JUST to get the GEE.

Make no mistake, LW SUCKS to max out because of the INSANE amount of leather you need to do it. If you have the money, buying stacks off the AH from time to time really helps keep your sanity on the way to 300. If not, just keep killing and skinning. You’ll get there eventually.

GOOD LUCK!!!
