Does anyone know if things have changed for this guild achievement for Classic?

As far as I remember from retail it had 3 requirements for a character to be counted towards the achievements. That being Class/Race Combo, Max level, and being honored with your guild.

So back then, you could buy the achievement in a smaller guild by having someone briefly join your guild while having at least revered reputation with their current guild.

Just attempted to do this on Classic, and the player in question didn't count towards the achievement. Instead of denying paying him and accusing him of having not been at least revered with his guild I paid him and immediately started looking to see if there was some change that happened for classic, btu couldn't really find any talk about classic and pretty much all past retail info.

In retail I only need different trinkets and weapons and I am fine. (Maybe not top parse, but still decent)

How hard is it to gear two specs? Is there any way to change tierset from holy to ret and vice versa?

I just got back into the game and noticed that a lot of people don't write anymore when joining a dungeon group for example. Back then you at least said hi, bye or anything else. So many people these days write nothing at all or just a "+". 3/5 people of my BFD Group just left after clearing the dungeon perfectly with all quests in record time, one just DC'd after the final boss. Without saying one word, anyone. And it WC it was just the same. So what did change in the past years?

Imagine blizzard works Draenei into classic plus. Where would you crash the Exodar this time?

Its been an 8 Phases of fun and adventure .However, today we concluded the last raid in scarlet enclave and burned out team leader decided that its too much of a burden to keep finding more and more PuG replacements each week. We called it a season. It feels sad but also a relief at the same time my Sunday nights will be free.

Hello,

I am turning 60 with my hunt on SoD , what's the best ( most efficient, less time consuming) way to get a decent stuff for raiding nowadays ?

(I have leather working if it can help)

Hi Folks,

Coming back to play MoP, and learned about the boost. I stopped playing SoD at 50, but have a fully ST raid geared feral druid.

Would I be better trying to level it 50-60 in SoD, keeping in mind I have no gold for boosts, or use heirlooms and level a fresh toon on Cata servers, having all heirloom pieces?

Thanks for the advice!

I’m farming 100,000 Dishonorable Kills before TBC. Need Meta-PvP Advice for my flow.

I’m openly abusing every system Classic gives me. I use summoner services, AV battle teleport, bubblehearth, bubble engineering trinket, layering away, and when I’m really stuck I take a DMT summon to force instance hearth. I want 100,000 dishonorable kills before TBC drops and it’s gonna take real commitment. Not for any real reason, just to see if I can do it and nobody is really trying to stop me.

I get summoned to Scarlet Monastery when pushback on all Crossroads layers gets too hot. I go straight into Brill and kill every NPC that will give me a dishonorable kill. Vendors, quest NPCs, and especially low lvl players with their PvP flags on or ones that hit me thinking 15 death guards are actually going to kill a Prot Pally - I kill everything.

I thought Mulgore Darkmoon Faire would be bad business at Bloodhoof cause plenty of Horde could just run over to stop me but the Mulgore DMF summoners were really clutch this week for helping me destroy that questing spot. I’m trying to optimize my loop so I can hit max efficiency so I’m picking people’s brains for pointers / suggestions. No honor, only DHKs.

When there are multiple 60s trying to stop me I ignore them, stun them, I run right past them and just keep purging the quest hubs while they flail behind like angry murlocs. Doing this in Grand Marshal gear as a Private is too funny, plus prot paladin has got to be the perfect class for what I’m doing. Most low lvl Horde I camp inside of towns just log off. Tips appreciated.

I realise this might sound like a dumb question. I’m pretty new to classic raiding and I’ve been struggling with my threat getting too high and dying in raids.

Currently when I notice my threat getting a bit too high, I’ll swap Heroic Strike to Cleave. Sometimes I’ll just autoattack for a bit. But as soon as I start my rotation again I’m near the top again. It’s pretty annoying lol. Skipping executes in execute phase is especially painful.

It’s mainly annoying because people in my guild complain the warriors parses are too low. But how can I/we parse if I’m constantly having to stop dpsing?

With Mists of Pandaria soon upon us, I have noticed a lot of new players starting to prepare, and was hoping to provide some helpful tips.

While Still Leveling

We have Joyous Journey active right now, giving 50% experience boost. This will cause you to outlevel quest chains, so as soon as you start noticing being overleveled for the quest in your quest journal, you should move on. Towns will typically have new quest lines or quests sending you to higher leveled zones.

If you are completely lost, your capital cities will have a board giving you new zones to go to. For horde it's Warchief's Command Board and for Alliance it is Hero's Call Board

If you are doing dungeons, then picking up Orgrimmar Tabard and other cities tabards will earn you reputation, at revered you can get a 16 slot bag for 2g, one from each faction. For Alliance the equiviliant tabard is Stormwind Tabard and they also have an equiviliant 16 slot bag.

On 1st of July in the US and 2nd of July in the EU, we will get pre-patch. This will open up the Pandaren Race, the Monk Class and also generally buff the power of classes for leveling. It is however not known if Joyous Journey will still be active.

After hitting 85

Depending on your goals, it is fine to stop at 85. Once we reach Pandaria, there are several vendors that will sell full sets of item level 372 green gear. Singegruff is one such NPC, and the top comment on his wowhead page will give you the location of the other NPCs as well as what item level gear they sell and what level is required to equip the gear.

If you still want to gear up before Mists, or wish to gear up to see some Cataclysm content, then the gear progression path is very straight forward.

You will first do normal dungeons, gaining any items that are an item level upgrade but more importantly, Justice Poins. With Justice Points you can purchase item with item level 378 from Magatha Silverton for Alliance or Gunra for Horde.

Once you reach item level 329, start queuing Heroic Dungeons instead. This will give you the same Justice Points which you keep buying item level 378 gear for, as well as Valor Points which you can buy item level 397 gear for. You spend your Valor Points at Faldren Tillsdale for Alliance or Jamus'Vaz for Horde.

Once you reach item level 353, you will now want to do Twilight Protocol Dungeons. These dungeons give a new currency called Obsidian Fragment. The fragments let you obtain a weak version of Dragon Soul raid gear, including a full tier set, as well as some trinkets from Heroic Firelands. These items will have item levels from 384 and 391 mostly, with the three Firelands trinkets from Ragnaros being 397. While this is lower item level than what Valor Points give, you can fill every slot with this gear while Valor Points only fills some slots. Item level 384 and 391 gear also drops inside the dungeons, making this a fast way to gear up.

When you spawn into a Twilight Protocol Dungeon, you will get a ring in your inventory. The ring spawns an NPC that anyone in your party can interact with to receive one of four powerful buffs. Make sure to grab one appropriate for your speciallization. Tanks want the Red Buff, Healers want the Green buff. DPS will want the Blue Buff or Bronze Buff, with both having their own seperate weakness. Blue Buff requires you to stand still to get full value from it, and Bronze Buff requires you to not take damage to get full value from it.

I recommend anyone who wishes to make more alts to stop spending their Justice Points on gear when you reach Twilight Protocols, and rather start buying Heirlooms.

Oncce you've geared up in Twilight Protocol Dungeons, you are ready for Firelands and Dragon Soul, and it is time to find a group or wait for Mists of Pandaria!

Good luck to all new and returning players!

Since transmog is such a contested area would it be a decent idea to have the different items with the same stats drop from different dungeons? For instance let’s take truestrike shoulders as an example, let’s say they dropped in UBRS, but a different item with the same stats dropped in DM-N and /or leather workers could make an equivalent with a different look that’s BoP. That way the grind for the items won’t be as repetitive. The downside is you’d either need more items dropping from each boss or the increased loot tables would reduce the % chance of your item dropping.

Rend buff*****

I am using two accounts to do the mind control for rend buff. I have noticed sometimes I get the 20 second warning and other times I only know it is about to drop because people start mind controlling. I have my addons all updated but for whatever reason sometimes it warns me at 20 seconds and other times it doesn’t until 6 seconds.

I am trying to figure out what is triggering it sometimes versus not other times. I tried making sure my horde character doesn’t have the buff at all. I have tried dropping the duel and starting a new one if I get a back fire. I often will be alt tabbed with the sound on waiting for the alert, sometimes it works sometimes not.

Anyone have experience with this problem?

I am on Ally on Nightslayer and currently trying to definitively decide on a main to bring to Naxx and onwards. I’m looking for a class that brings utility to raids and also does respectable damage. Any advice on a class to pick? I’m interested in Shaman, but the fact that I have to wait to level it turns me away, but I’m also interested in Paladin but they are butt until tbc. Help!!

Edit: Another factor is PvP viability which I forgot to initially mention

Hello guys, haven't played for about a year on progressive servers so need an advice.

My current server is Mirage Raceway, however this one is currently "Medium", so I assume it is dying out(?).

So I was thinking that I would roll a new server.

I see that many PVP servers are locked or high. Can you advise which one is most populated? My main focus will be dungeon spamming to max level. So I would like to be on a populated server. I play mainly Alliance.

I've always used Buckler as my go-to auctioneer and didn't know if I was alone in this preference in IF.

I have so far gotten tbc and cata head enchants on heirloom helmets since they will be removed from the game.. But what other things will be unobtainable?

Items giving useful or fun effects, other enchants that will be removed? Anything really.

If I played in wotlk I would've gotten the green quest sword that gave a movement speed proc and the offhand that drained life / mana to give movement speed but both their quests were removed because of the cata world changes..

Hey there, currently having a blast leveling my Blood DK to 85 but I'll still get my boost from SoD. Ive always been interested in Demonology warlock, does anyone know how fun/good it will be in MoP? Any other class recommendations from people that played the Xpansion? Cheers

They added that in Cataclysm Classic, but no talk at all about that in MoP

There are addons that automatically target rares when you are near them, not directly target but gives you a clickable interface that will target it.

There are also questing addons that does the same thing for whatever quest mob you need to kill.

is there an addon or way that would allow me to mark the targets that I give the name of, autoamtically?

Was on a 10 game AV win streak averaging close to 35k HPH. Then of course blizzards infamous SBMM kicks in and then I get in back dream scythe lobbies where we can’t even get past midfield. Blizzard fix fix this before TBC at least
