Warcraft Experience

200g an hour? C’mon that can’t be possible, can it?

You’ve probably seen them on every WoW site out there. Gold guide banners and Buy Gold banners. You also probably already knew that buying gold for WoW is not only unethical, its against Blizzards terms of service. Buying gold guides however, is not, as they are only strategies… you still must earn the gold yourself.

We recently purchased Valkor’s Gold Guide to see what all the Gold Guide fuss is all about, and if its just a big hoax, as we suspected. We were, however, in for a surprise.

Valkor’s gold guide shows you what may seem obvious to the already-rich players. Did you know that you could spend a few hours in the auction house and make a fortune, without setting one foot outside the city? You don’t have to go out farming and racking up gear expenses. Just play the auction house and get richer and richer. This is one of many techniques covered in the book. He gives you a list of items that you can purchase for 1 silver and turn around for 1 gold! All without leaving the AH.

There are specific zones in the game that when worked properly will allow you to gather items as they spawn. Most of the farmers know this. Some of these items values are so high, that you can effectively make about 200G / hour while doing this method. Maps are included in the guide to show you exactly where to go and what paths you should follow.

He shows you where the most common places are to get the highest value cards for the decks. Keep them for yourself or turn them around for big profits. There are also tips about getting infinite primals quick and easy as well as which faction items are extremely high profit.

The guide is kept up-to-date with free update releases. It contains 2.4-specific information and the free 2.5? (next patch) update to all registered users is in the works as we speak. He also promises FREE LIFETIME updates including the next expansion. I was pretty amazed by this.

I’ve only broken the ice on this wonderful guide. It has improved the game for me as a whole, since I’m a big fan of twink (low level rich character) PvP. With essentially infinite gold, I can make twinks quickly for my weekend PvP sessions.

Rating: 9/10

Check out the book. You won’t be disappointed.

Warlocks were mages that delved too deeply into the roots of demonic power. Consumed by a lust for dark knowledge, they’ve tapped into chaotic magic from beyond the world. The Burning Legion now feeds them its powers, allowing them to channel destructive energies and call upon the powerful emissaries of their demon masters.

The Warlock is a more involved class to play than most others. Warlocks have pets, many different spell combos, and a reagent component requirement for some of their spells. This means that playing a Warlock takes a bit more learning than some of the more straightforward classes. The Warlock has a lot of very cool and fun abilities including Eye of Kilrogg, Fear, Pets, and more. The Warlock is a very fun class to play once you figure things out.

In an extremely interesting article Pro-G has broken down the variants of the two new kids on the block - Dranei and the Blood Elves. It’s a good factual breakdown about the races and tidbits about leveling them from the ground-up.

So far, most beta players have opted for the high level rewards of Outland over starting a new character. But this isn’t to the detriment of TBC’s two new races, the manga-esque Blood Elves and the big blue aliens the Draenei - both have aspects that have drawn concern from the typically vocal WoW fan base, but overall are shaping up nicely.

Thanks Wardawg for finding this for me to post! Our little AQ 20 group is moving fast and furious and its now time for this:

Ossirian the Unscarred is a boss in the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj.

Strategy

The Pull

Rogues are pretty much useless in this fight, therefore use a rogue to pull the boss to the middle of the room. The rogue should be mounted, bodypull the boss, then head back to the middle and look for a crystal that will spawn. Two crystals will be spawned at all times throughout the room. After about 2 seconds, the boss will buff himself; with the buff he can hit you for 13K damage, also when buffed, Ossirian moves pretty fast, faster than walking speed. When Ossirian is about 20 yards to the crystal, have a designated person click on the crystal to activate it. Note, the Main Tank should not aggro Ossirian until after the crystal puts the debuff on him, otherwise the MT will be one-shotted to death.

Activating the Crystals

Activating the crystal will put a 30 45 second debuff on Ossirian that makes him hit for only 1K or so, less than than the normal 13K, and puts a vulnerability on him for specific spell damages (he can have more than one on at a time). Make sure you are paying attention to the debuff slots so you can see what he is vulnerable to. You will then have about 30 seconds to pull Ossirian to the next crystal before his debuff runs out and one-shots the Main Tank. The crystal has a slight casting time, so don’t wait until the last second.

For all of you players out there who like to weave yourself into the internal politics of Azeroth, WorldofWar.net has an extremely detailed reputation guide to show you who hates who, who hates you, and what you can do about it. Want to become best goombas with the goblins? Friends with the Furbolgs? Pals with the Pirates? I can do this all day long…

The guide lists the various factions in the game, the quests to raise reputation with them, and the rewards you earn for doing so pretty exhaustively, although there are a few smaller factions that get glossed over, such as my personal favorites, the Bloodsail Buccaneers. They’re decent guys, you just gotta get to know ‘em….

Who needs 0 to 60 in mere seconds when you can hit 60 levels in 2 days!

While browsing around the various WoW sites, I came across this guide from WoW Guru, claiming to show how to level from 1to 60 in only 2 days. It’s basically a big list of grinding spots, but even if you pumped yourself full of Hunter S. Thompson-quality speed & grind-ed away for 48 hours straight, surely this can’t be possible…can it?

The various comments from players on the guide seem to be divided into whether this is feasible or not; some claim to have done it, other’s claim it’s impossible. All I know is, if it IS possible, then it sure as heck shouldn’t be. I know powergamers will always find a way to beat the clock, as it were, but the level cap should not be able to be attained in just 2 days. Or should it? What do you all think?

WoWVault offers up their latest in strategy guides, this time aimed at BRD.

Resident writer and super friend, Trinity Divine, has completed an amazing and comprehensive guide for WoW Vault. This one is a must check out!

Blackrock Mountain, which sits on the border of Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes in northern Azeroth, is home to two instanced dungeons: Blackrock Depths (commonly abbreviated to “BRD”) and Blackrock Spire (or “BRS”). The huge city inside the bowels of the mountain was originally constructed by the orc Blackrock clan but it has since been taken over by Emperor Thaurissan, who summoned the
elemental firelord Ragnaros to help him control the Dark Iron dwarves in an effort to win a civil war. There are entrances to the fortress from both the northeastern part of Searing Gorge, as well as the western end of Burning Steppes.

BRD is the lower of the two instances in Blackrock Mountain, and is listed as a level 48-55 dungeon. However, not a lot of teams will consider taking you with them
unless you are over 50. Of course it all depends on which areas of BRD you will be venturing into, since the level of difficulty varies greatly within the instance. Unless you have level 60 friends who wouldn’t mind “running you through” BRD, I would recommend waiting until you are in your mid-fifties. At that point, you should be
eligible for all the BRD quests so you won’t have any “gray exclamation point” problems.
