+20 Spirit Vs +22 Enchant

2006-09-28T22:49:00.000-07:00

I'm a lvl 60 feral druild 14/32/5 who heals most of the time in instances. The question I have is I seen alot of people with +20 spirit on their weapon (mostly druids) instead of +22 int. Is there a reason one way or another why one is better than another?

My thought is .. since int = mana .. would u want alot of mana if u do spells (healing, moonfire. starfire, changing form which cost alot of mana?)

If somone could explain the benifits of +20 spirit, it would be great. Thanks.

Soloing Zul'Gurub

2006-09-28T22:46:00.000-07:00

A rather strange bug ocured when I was trying to solo my way to the enchanter in ZG yesterday, more on that later.I don't know how easy this is to reproduce, but anyway, here goes:

To be able to enter the instance, I invited a peep from my guild, but when I tried entering the instance I got an error message about having to be in a raid to enter. So, while the guards was trying to kick my ass, I quickly used ice-block,and converted the group to raid.When I did this, I got teleported to the inside, but to my surprise the guards followed me inside and killed me there.Luckily my Twisting Nether trinket procced, and I was able to ressurect (I doubt that this is needed to make the bug trigger though).To my even bigger surprise I discovered that the instance was completly empty. No mobs, nothing, except buildings and terrain. The only structual thing that was missing was my enchanters tower. Hakkars tower was also different, and the tiger boss site looked a bit strange. The panther boss pyramid was also messed up, and when I tried climbing down the last stairs to the boss, I was moved to the bottom of the 3d structure, and was able to see only some of the polygons representing the pyramid. But, when I moved a few steps back everything seemed 'fairly' normal. The only way I was able to enter the boss' room was to use blink, but the panther did not appear even though I 'banged the gong' several times ;)When I looked in my social tab, I saw that I was located in STW, which also the map and different channels confirmed.

After exploring the instance for about an hour I decided to leave through the instance portal, but when I 'entered' this time I got teleported to a populated, working version of ZG.

How to solo your way to the enchanter in ZG:I discovered that it is possible to get to the enchanter (I wanted a presence of sight enchant on my netherwind crown) by first swimming in the river on the right side of the instance portal.When you get to the first right turn in the river, swim on the bottom of it so that you do not aggro the blue serpent.At the end of the lake, climb up on the left side, and jump down to the bridge (make sure there are no patrols there before you jump). Use the bridge to go to the other side, and take left when you get there. You should have a safe spot there where can mount up, and wait for the human patrol to pass you. In short the only thing left to do is keeping close to the snake boss building, and ride like hell when you pass the serpents around the corner of the snake boss entrance.The enchanters tower is located on the back side of the snake boss building btw.I managed to get the presence of sight reward without a soul shard, but I would strongly reccomend bringing one.

Never Play PUGs In WSG/AB

2006-09-28T18:23:00.000-07:00

All you have to do is start a party, (raid of 10 for wsg, raid of 15 for AB) and have some of your members go in the game once you Q up. If you see that the other side (horde/alliance) is coming in sporaticly, and without and High Warlords or Warlords, then its probably a PUG. Howeverm if you do see the Warlords, then just /AFK out of it and tell the rest of the group. The leader of the party must stay out for this process. heres the hint in step formExample for AB

1.Form a raid of 15

2.Join the Q

3. Have a memeber go into the game first and check if the other side is a pug or not

4.If it is a pug, get every1 in on raid chat.

5.If its not a PUG then just have your group /afk out.

6.If its not a PUG after you /afk out, then just have the leader Re-Q

Stuff From Other Sites

2006-09-27T17:50:00.000-07:00

Ok. I have a beef. I've seen a few threads locked because of posting stuff from other sites. These other sites have all of our stuff, but we can't see theirs. Hmmm.... Sounds like I need to subscribe to another site and see it ALL.

Instead of deleting the threads, they need to be re-written as a unique strategy instead of locking.

The raiding stormwind post is a great example of a so/so strategy that got added to to become an even more interesting strat. It had a Warlock death running to a secret place, then stealthing rogues to that spot, then summon the whole group. I thought it was great.

So why isn't that re-written into a unique MPS thread, or is that not a MPS employee job?

I guess what I'm getting at, is I subscribe for strategies and exploits no matter where they come from.

Fastest Way To Level Up A Hunter Pet?

2006-09-27T17:49:00.000-07:00

I thought this was posted somewhere before, but I was lost in like 8 pages of search results.
I have a 55 orc hunter spec'd BM and figured it'd be cool to go back an tame Broken Tooth for his 1.00 attack speed to mess around with some PvP stuff. After a day or two of looking for him, he finally spawned right in front of me... Sweet.

Ok, so now I thought, time to level this guy up FAST! So I turned around and started killing the crag coyotes and other high level 30's. After about 10 I wanted to see how fast BT's XP was going and, ugh, it wasn't. Even tho the creatures are over him (he's level 37), nothing. So I remembered back and thought, hmm, maybe the mob had to be in 'my xp range'. So I head back to Tanaris and I start killing level 44-45's.

Now BT gets around mid-380 xp a kill. Problem is, he's now almost 10 levels below the mob's I'm going after, and is getting wrecked. And even my auto-attack break aggro. Now I've gone thru a few levels with him (he's level 39 now, I'm still 55) and going from memory have him trained with growl 3, bite 5/claw 5. He still can't hold aggro, so I let him take a few swings, then aimed shot, concussive shot, scorpid sting... then melee the mob down.

It doesn't seem like a very efficient way to do this, it takes about an hour a level to level BT. Is there any better way to do this? Or is it the price I have to pay for being dumb and not taming him sooner? Heh.

Healing Bot?

2006-09-27T17:48:00.000-07:00

I apologize if I'm not allowed to post this since it's not a guide or something similar, it's more of an inquiry. I'm too lazy, no uh in a hurry is the right term, to read the forum guidelines. Me and my wife are currently playing a paladin and a warlock with separate accounts and I'm about to open a 3rd account and transfer my priest there (once char xfers are enabled). We have level 60s in everyl class except a warlock so having 3 accounts will give us more flexibility with pairing (we spend most of our time duoing). I can easily make a healing macro for the priest and bind it on the function keys and have her auto-follow us and she'll be on the 3rd computer beside us - so if somebody needs a heal we just hit that F-key.

My question, is someone aware of any healing bot (or addon???) for priests that renews, heal and shield (you can set this to a certain trigger, ie. x% hp) without a click of a mouse or a press of a key? Also, because of the behavior of what the bot does, I assume this is undetectable since the priest is always with us - we just don't have enough hands to control the character (we can but we rather have it automated - less to worry about).

Right now we are able to duo low to mid level instances (whenever green) but I am expecting it will be tough once we get to higher level instances once we level up more. We killed VC when we were 24, got to pummeler in gnomer when we were 32 and will try thermaplug once we are 38 - all with no wipes. With the priest I am hoping we can trio up to scholo/strath/etc., once level cap is increased to 70.

It's not that we don't like to group with others it's just that we just had our first daughter so we're afk a lot and we can't do that when grouped.

Favorite Grinding Spots

2006-09-27T17:39:00.000-07:00

First is the cave in Un’goro crater that is filled with apes (the cave where A-me is for the quest). These gorillas are fairly easy to kill and drop lots of valuable vendor trash like their whiskers and regularly drop greens and some blues. Just on the gray trash items alone you can make around 10g an hour just grinding here.

My next favorite is the troll temple in Eastern Plaguelands. I guess this place is just so far away that no one seems to want to bother with it. These trolls drop lots of green items, the occasional blue, and I know friends who have seen epics drop off of them as well. They’re good for runecloth and powerful mojo as well. The other nice perk of this area is that it’s full of thorium (4 rich weins) and high end herbs also.

Deadwind Pass is also great for farming for items. No one really is here when I farm it. I’d expect to see farmers or just others players hanging out here but no one ever really is. There are a ton of high level ogres with great loot and when you go down to the Karazhan area you will find a haunted town that has humanoids that drop great coin and runecloth.

Arcane crystals will skyrock with prices since it is required for Tier3 items here is 2 best spots:
Hearthglen Mine that is in Northern Western Plaguelands. There is often one rich thorium vein outside the mine and then another 2 inside of it. Thy all seem to have a very fast respawn time and the ones inside the mine are guarded by groups of 2 non-elite miners that most classes can easily distract or solo. I have seen 2 arcane crystals drop from just one of these veins!

The second of my favorite locations is in Southern Winterspring near the barred off entrance to the unopened Hyjal area. This is in the dangerous Darkwhisper Gorge. It is full of level 60 and 61 elites that hit really hard but I have successfully walked the entire way to the end without stealth and it can be done if you are careful. Obviously if you can feign death or stealth it gets even easier. There are usually an additional 4-5 (yes!) rich thorium veins in this area.

Great Gold + Xp (alliance 10-17)

2006-09-27T17:37:00.000-07:00

This is meant for early level night elf characters, but others wanting to make the trip to darkshore will benefit, as will higher levels looking for some quick cash for no risk and little effort.

I recently started a character on a new server to play with someone i know irl, this time picking a night elf druid. I have played horde up to about level 30 and alliance up to 60 and this is probably the best spot i've found for any particular level bracket.

Moonkin in darkshore are scattered around some caves east of town. They vary in level from 11 up to 14. They are great for xp and gold.

* They go down easily and don't do a lot of damage
* They don't run to bring adds when near death
* Most of them can be taken one on one

and this is the best bit

* High drop rate of light feathers and small eggs

A stack of feathers on the auction house for alliance on blackrock or darkspear goes for over 6g. I've sold 3 stacks already and none of them have lasted more than a couple of hours at 6g buyout before someone has snatched them up. As an experiment I took my druid at level 18 back to this area just now. It only took 25 minutes to get a stack of 20. 6g for 25 minutes work as a level 18 character - that's great! Once you hit level 17 you stop getting xp from the level 11 moonkin, and when you hit 18 only about half of most groups will give you any xp since that's how many are level 11 or 12. If the servers weren't down for maintenance now i'd get back on with my 60 priest just to see how quickly i could get a stack of feathers.

The small eggs are good for levelling up cooking (if you are so inclined). In the time it took me to get that stack of feathers above, i collected more eggs than feathers (25-30 total, i think).

Grinding this area alone for xp and feathers you would easily pick up enough eggs along the way to get you past the apprentice level of cooking, and it'd only cost you a handful in silver for mild spices plus the apprentice cooking ability cost.

The combined xp, gold and cooking advancement makes this, to me, the best area around for advancing through a few levels. I wish i'd gotten there around level 11 or 12 instead of questing up to about 15.

Blackrich Depths?

2006-09-26T17:59:00.000-07:00

Another stealth strat, and probably my last one for awhile, so make some good use of it.
Dark Iron farming is pretty well known by rogues and some skilled druid. But, this strat calls for a combination of farming dark iron and a solo fight vs incendious.

As you enter BRD, take a left, use a key or lockpicking to open the gate. Stealth past the mobs and hit the dark iron nodes as you go by.

*** BEWARE THE DOGS, THEY SEE THROUGH STEALTH***

Now that you have gotten the DI ore, head to incendious, attack him with your back facing the large anvil in the center of the room. With your back to the anvil you will not be knocked off the platform, and it will ensure a victory. Depending on your Fire Resist, you may need a potion.
INCENDIUS has a chance to drop an ace of elementals, depending on your server's market, it may sell for several hundred gold. Not to mention his loot sells decent regardless.

I will be creating/editing a video to show this strat in depth, stay tuned for 1/2 days.

Superb Pharm/xp For Lvl58+(Mage/Priest Only Tested

2006-09-26T17:57:00.000-07:00

*apologies if this has already been posted but I didn't have time to weed through 1000's of posts*

Quel'Lithien Lodge is the place and this is Horde only. I personally levelled from 58 to 60 here and averaged over 30k xp per hour (no rested bonus) and made loads of gold.

Who can do this?

I have done this with my Shadow spec priest and my friend with his flaming mage :) You need to be able to do a LOT of damage in a short space of time, so maybe rogues can. My warlock friend found it inefficient for him though.

How does it work?

-Fight your way up the pathway to the lodge. You'll need to kill the 2 guards outside the entrance but ignore the 3 patrolling. -Once killed, park yourself inside the lodge entrance on the right next to some boxes. If you stay there the guards outside won't aggro and nor will the mobs inside.***The one time this doesn't work is if the rare spawn is inside, and he will aggro you** OK, you are now faced with :

A patrol of 2 that goes from left to rightThe others inside are not linked so can be taken on their own as long as you don't do stupid stuff with your pulls.OK - to start with you'll need to take the two stationary mobs on the pillars in front of you. Time your attack so that the patrol has the furthest to walk before getting into aggro range (i.e. if killing the left one, wait till patrol is heading right)After killing these two, take out the patrol. Mages can poly and wipe, for Priests open with a MB and SWP on lower level, quickly switch to higher level and use SWP and DP. Switch back to lower level and wipe it. Then kill higher level who should be less than 1/2 health by now.Now you own the place! DON'T KILL THE PROTECTORS TO THE RIGHT, THEY ARE LINKED AND ARE TOO TOUGH TO MAKE IT WORTHWHILE.Kill the rest of the gey elves inside (excluding the two above) and then you are on top of the spawn.The elves respawn randomly, so just keep on top of things but be wary of the patrol.

At 58 I was able to comfortably hold the spawn inside, at 59 i was also able to bring the two guards into my kill cycle. They both come 1 at a time, but time it because of the patrolling 3 outside.

These elves drop loot from the standard loot table. During my time there I picked up 3 travelers backpacks (20g each) in addition to loads of greens, major mana pots, cash and LOADS of Runecloth. As a disenchanter I found that some of these greens gave me high level disenchants like greater eternal essence, though most were illusion dust and dream dust.

I personally liked this place as not many people go there, Runecloth is 2g a stack on my server, the disenchants are even better plus a constant 30k+ p/h xp is awesome.

Great Farming For Rogues 60-90g Per Hour

2006-09-26T17:55:00.000-07:00

This is my frist post on the site and i hope it is helpfull.PS: im not the best speller
Backround Info: the target is Razorfen Downs located in the southern barrens, this instance is for about levels 35-45.

To do this run you need to be a rogue lvl 60 (maybe a bit below) and you also need to have enchantingWhen you enter the instance go into stealth and follow the map outlined (it may be a bit incorrect but u get the idea, just get to the last boss)

http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=86full4fy.jpg

When you get to the part labeled 4 look around for the boss there (he is hard to miss) and kill himhe should drop a blue item, next go back into stealthed and travel to the top of the spiral and get to the main boss of RFD.the way to kill him is to keep your back to the little cave like thing that he stands infront of other wise you will get knocked off the mountain.start out with cheap shot to stun him and just start spaming skills, once he summons he minons use evasion. (you might want to bring some healing pots just incase)if done right he should die and drop 2-3 blue items

now comes the money making partyou should have 3-4 blue items in your bag now and this is were enchanting comes in. use the skill disenchanting on the blue itemsthe should all disenchant into small radiant shards which sell for 10-15g on my sever.once you get get at this it should only take about 10 mins to complete which is about 60-90g per hour PLUS sometimes a green will drop along with blues which could also sell on the AHi suggest selling the small radiant shards for 10g so that people will chose yours over others and selling them in stacks of 1 or 2 will also increase the buying rate.

PLZ reply to this and i hope it works for all rogues sorry to other classes

Arcane Missile Super Long Range Exploit

2006-09-26T17:54:00.000-07:00

With 1.7 a bug was introduced where you can use your arcane missiles on targets that would normally be way out of range. To do it, start by targetting any mob that is in normal range and start casting. Very quickly, click on the far away target. Your camera will change as it normally would to follow your first target, but your missiles will keep going and actually do damage to the out of range target. Be careful using this though, it is considered an exploit and is obviously very noticeable if you use it in PVP.

How To Get Exalted With Darnassus Part Deux

2006-09-26T17:53:00.000-07:00

You need to turn in 60 wool, 60 silk, 60 mageweave first to the cloth collector located in the tailor shop in the trade district of daranasus.

The object of this quest which is obtainable at level 50 is the runecloth part, but only after you do the wool, silk and mageweave parts and are at least level 50 first.

Your initial turn in is 60 runecloth for about 6k XP and about 160 rep bonus. But this quest is repeatable at this point for only 20 runecloth each for a bonus of 50 faction rep.

Now the fun part is if your human. you get 55 faction rep.

if you do the math. its 21,000 rep from revered to exhalted. at 55 faction a trip, it will take you 382 stacks of runecloth to hit exhalted. at roughly 1.5g / stack, your looking at 573g to hit exhalted, which should be ALOT cheaper than trying to aquire 13k soil =P
Sorry if your not human. but you got more trips than that, but its still cheaper than collection soil and seeds.

Keep in mind this is only after you turn in the initial 60 wool, silk, mageweave and runecloth.
Also you can do this for EACH faction. Stormwind has a guy in the mage district that takes this, and IF has the dwarven and gnomish collectors also. And the horde has their respective quests for this too.

And if your just in for XP, at 50, when you get this quest. you would need 240 wool, 240 silk, 240 mageweave, and 240 runecloth, you would get roughly 25k XP and 160 faction rep for each faction.

IMO this is a much better way to hit exhalted with any of the main factions.
enjoy.

Yesterday evening (11/30) i swam from the little dock south of the lighthouse in Westfall to Booty Bay. I am level 18 rogue and i swam about 20 minutes to reach the little town. There are NO sharks, NO mobs, the passage was completely safe. But, it is contested area, so be careful... i was in stealth the whole time in booty bay.

Once in Booty Bay you swim towards a ramp that fell in the water (about middle of town). The old man Hemingway is up the ramp in the little house at your right and sells you the book for 1 gold. I could use the book (no level restriction) and had 150 skill of fishing.

Don't forget to talk to gryphin master who is at the top right. You can see eagles on the roof.
I want back to my normal fishing place and my level continued to rise ... looking at 225 cap now.

Pick Pocket Exploit

2006-09-26T17:49:00.000-07:00

well i have been able to reproduce this several times now...

step one: pickpocket mob but dont loot

step 2 as soon an window pops up pickpocket again

step 3 when window shows up from second pickpocket loot immediatly and pp immediatly after you loot (dont even wait for the jingle or item to actually be looted...
step 4: loot immediatly from the thrid pickpockets window that showd up with the loot and item even though you already have the silver and item...

this mostly works for just silver, i have found that items actually screw it up most of the time, but i have succesfully PP 2 heavy jukeboxes and some healing potions from same mob..
its not really worht the trouble of doing it on every mob... just the fluke mob u occasionally run into with 5x more silver then the ones around them...

im going to install the addon that lets u track gold spending or w/e cuz i know that sometimes u get the jingle twice buty dont actually get the money twice.. othertimes you do :)

Note about Drain Tanking: Common knowledge is that Drain Tanking is the most efficient leveling spec. Few realize, however, that it is nearly useless before level 30, due to the weakness of the lower versions of the Drain Life spell.

How to level: Grind and quest at the same time. Either look for multiple quests that involve killing the same mobs, or look for multiple quests in the same areas. The more quests you can get done before running back to turn in, the faster your leveling will go. Also, remember to set your hearth to new places frequently. Every time you plan to level in a new place for more than an hour, set your hearth there, as the time saved by teleporting back to the nearest down instead of running is incredible.

While the last one is meant for mage, it shows some good grinding areas.
Summary: 1-9: Do your lowbie quests. Should take 2-3 hours.

10-29: Stack all your DoTs on a mob, send in the VW, stack all your DoTs on a second mob, and then wand the second mob to death. Repeat until low health, and then bandage/Consume Shadows. Each level should take about an hour, moving towards an hour and a half as you get closer to 30. If they are taking longer, figure out what the problem is (mobs too far apart, mobs have too much life, too much downtime) and move to an area that solves it.

30-39: Drain Tank: Load the mob up on DoTs, send in the Succubus, cast Drain Life while the mob beats on you, rinse and repeat.

40-49: Drain Tank, but instead of Life Tapping, use Dark Pact. A good rule of thumb is, DP only if your pet is over 50% mana, because if they run out it will slow your fighting time down. The easiest way to do this is to turn off all autocast abilities on your Succubus, and remember to DPing during the fight (rather than after) as a good time-saver because your DoTs will help keep up the DPS.

50-59: The Drain Tanking gets even better now. By Demonic Sacrificing your pet, you are able to regen even more life per fight, keeping up with increasing monster damage, while still 'Tapping up to full mana whenever you want because of the passive regen.
60: You are now specced SM/DS, which is generally accepted to be best grinding spec. Do whatever killing you need to do, grind factions etc., and then respec to your high-level build of choice.

Equipment Choice: "I found that during early levels it was best to focus on +sta, and at around 35 or so to switch to +shadow or +dmg. If you are specced into affliction and are draintanking, +dmg will be vastly superior to +sta. You kill the mobs much faster for the same mana, and heal yourself that much faster." -Clutchsama

It's my personal opinion that up until about level 40 you should stack +sta and "of the Eagle" gear. At 30, start looking for Shadoweave gear, and around 40 switch into it. Full Shadoweave can be made by tailors, and will give a bonus of +114 shadow damage, along with some Int and Sta, and can be equipped at level 44.

In general, while using Dark Pact I stack as much +damage gear as possible, and while using Demonic Sacrifice, I stack as much +sta gear as possible, while keeping a minimum of +100 dmg.

Currently there is bug, where you can respec from MD/ruin to SM/ruin and keep the MD active-pet talents (+dam, threat reduction etc etc).

So if you are MD/ruin, try and re-spec to SM/ruin and enjoy insta-DOTs and -20% threat :)

Easy Gold Once A Day: Teremus The Devourer

2006-09-25T19:21:00.002-07:00

I'm sure many of you have visited the Blasted Lands at some point and have noticed the large dragon that always seems to sneak up behind you while you are questing/farming? Well, if you and a few of your friends are level 60, then you have found an ample source of gold.

Teremus is a weak boss dragon, it only takes 4-5 people to kill him. He has been done by 2 people before, but they were fully decked in epic gear. I have just done him for the first time today with 4 other people 5 total) and although the battle is long, he is relatively easy and simple. He drops an item: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=8244, sometimes up to 4 from a single kill. Then you take that item, and turn it in to: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?wmob=7363. He will give you a bag, and inside the bag is a random lvl 40-49 Blue or Epic BoE. That's right, a BoE, so you can sell it on the AH. Today, I got 2 crystals, so I turned both of them in and received 2 Blue BoEs, worth about 50g on my server. Like I said, they are random BoEs, so it is possible to get a weapon that would be worth much more gold, or even an epic weapon that will be worth a LOT more.

Now to explain the battle itself. You definitely need a Warrior for this battle, and I will explain why later. Teremus is immune to Silence, Stuns, Battle Shouts, DoT spells (that's right! No DoTs), some Mage spells, and I would suppose Poisons too. The only think I (the lvl 60 Warrior) was able to use on Teremus was Taunt and Sunder Armor. This battle is very long because of the fact that you can not use DoTs on him for extra DPS. In addition, every time he uses his flame attack, everyone who gets damaged by it heals Teremus, so stay out of the way of the Flame Breath! The healing he gets from this attack is substancial comparing it to the DPS you are able to use on him. Every 30 seconds or so, he will use a Knockback attack on the Warrior and his aggro list will reset, and will probably attack the nearest Mage or Warlock. Whoever gets aggro is to run towards the Tank, so he/she can use Taunt and Sunder Armor to regain aggro. After that, you just follow through the motions and whittle him down.

Suggested Group: Warrior, Mage, Hunter, Priest/Druid, Shaman/Paladin.The reason for the supporting healer class (Paladin/Shaman) is because this battle is very long. Your Main Healer will probably run out of mana, so you need a supporting healer to step up while the Main Healer gets some mana back.

Teremus respawns daily, so you can redo him over and over for some nice loot.

I hope you all enjoy this strategy. This is my first posted strategy, so comments/questions are appreciated.

Plan Now, Get Ridicously Rich In BC Exp

2006-09-25T19:19:00.001-07:00

Ok folks, the release of Burning Crusade is a mere 9-10 weeks away!

Let's recap your current situation. At this point you're level 60.....a PVP king and just sitting back waiting for the BC expansion pack. Well, I'm sure you realize thousands upon thousands of players on your server(s) are sitting on a boatload of gold just waiting to get their hands on the new slotted objects/trinkets/armor that will be coming with the expansion. The question is, do you want to compete with them in the AH to purchase these items, or do you want to be the entrepreneurial chap who has stockpiled the components to make these new items? Hopefully you do realize the demand will be staggering for these components! Time to prepare to get rich! Notice I said prepare, it's time to horde (no pun intended) reagents in preparation for the new item crafting/buying rush!

From the little bit of recipe info leaked it seems many of the new items won't stray too far from the components already needed. Specifically thorium and arcanite crystals will be in high demand! The one item I've found with specific statistics which will only be able to be crafted in the expansion is an "Arcanite Sword Pendant" which you will be able to drop into a slotted sword......and get this. It will add +40 STR! Woah!

Now how many thorium bars will such a craftable item require? Not sure, but it will surely be quite a bit! So essentially it's time to start mining thorium ore like a madman and stockpiling thorium bars! My prediction is thorium will be selling for 500% more than it currently is on the AH once crafting gets rolling on the new items. Demand will be extremely high for thorium and arcanite bars, and arcane crystals (required for the transmuting). So get to stockpiling!

Here are the locations for the RICH THORIUM VEINS all you miners should be picking away at.

And now for the ARCANE CRYSTAL farming spots.

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5924

Stockpile these 2 resources like madpeople for the next few months. You won't be sorry you did! I'll be keeping an eye out for other leaked recipes, but it's a pretty safe bet you should be stockpiling level 60 reagents in general! Herbalists, go get that Wild Thornroot and SAVE it!

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5924

That is all for now. :) More to come. Go quickly, become miners if you must! Well worth it!

Warrior Macro: Charge DURING Combat.

2006-09-25T19:19:00.000-07:00

Have Fun :-). Yeah, I am back to MPS and WoW :-).For all you warriors out there, might get nerfed in 1.12. Just copy and paste, and please try not to tell people out of mps, shh! /script local i; CastShapeshiftForm(1); CastSpellByName("BloodRage"); CastSpellByName("Charge"); for i = 0,15 do if ( GetPlayerBuffTexture(i) == "Interface\\Icons\\Ability_Racial_BloodRage") then CancelPlayerBuff(i); end; endWhat it does it makes you cast bloodrage, then it cancels bloodrage (now making you out of combat) and charges. YOU MUST SPAM IT though, like press it a lot of times quickly for it to go, not a problem though. One other thing it only of course works in pvp and not mobs, and if you are getting moonfire spammed it wont work because you only have a split second of being out of combat to charge, so basically anything else works.

Fishing For Essence Of Water

2006-09-25T19:17:00.000-07:00

This required max fishing of 300, a good fishing pole & and a good supply of the +100 lures. Somesort of water travel form is a big bonus.

There are 6 fishing spawns in the waters on eastern Azshara, Pools of Elemental Water. From these pulls you can fish Globe of Water, Elemental Waters & Essence of Water(which sell decently). As a shaman I get waterwalking, which is basicly cheating when it comes to any competition.

Here is a map of all the spawn point.http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/8586/azsharafishsk4.jpg

This map was created from memory as the realms are down for maintainance, but that is roughly where each spawn is. They have a respawn timer of around 1 hour. If you manage to get all 6 points uncontested you can easily harvest 8 Essence of Water in under 30 minutes.
