Level 60 Spec
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. |
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.

Free Gold Guide: Using a Mage World of Warcraft

Level 60 Frost Talent Spec Mage (enchanting profession is a bonus)
I have 10 Arc/ 0 Fire/ 41 Frost spec, but Ice block and Cold Snap are most important for this little run.
Go to Scarlet Monastery Cathedral. Run all the way to main Boss Chamber. Will be easy to dodge aggro as you are level 60. Kill pats if you can’t get around. With a little practice you can get there with only 1-2 fights tops.
Once inside you need to move down right or left side and dodge pats so that you are standing close to Mograine without aggroing him. Now the fun begins. But first…
Make sure you have all you spell cooldowns up so you can use everything at your disposal. Make a Mana Ruby for backup mana. You can use potions but these cost money and counter your profit. Your decision.
Ok, now that you are ready you can start the fight. Put up Ice Barrier and pop Mograine with a frostbolt and he will rush you and aggro the whole cathedral to come kill you. Take hits from Mograine until your barrier is removed. You will see the other mobs rushing you from all directions. When Barrier is gone pop Ice Block. This is the focal point of this run.
Ice Block gives you 10 full seconds for all the mobs to gather around you without damaging you. Now they are all nice and packed for some Area of Effect(AoE) blasting!
Ok, as soon as Ice Block expires you want to pop Frost Nova and Ice Barrier again as you strafe (don’t backup, slower movement speed) out of the groups melee range. Now commence to laying on the AoE damage. Remeber that Mograine can’t be Frost Nova’d so that is why you put your Ice Barrier back up since he will be beating on you while you are AoE killing his minions.
| Once all the minions are dead, Mograine should be less than 50% so finish him off. Immediately pop Evocation to refill mana because Whitemane is on her way.As long as you didn’t end up close to her spawn point when you killed Mograine (practice will show you to finish Mograine towards the middle of the chamber) then you will get off a full Evocation for plenty more mana.
Now kill Whitemane and Mograine again when she resurrects him. You’re done! |
This little run nets me 6-8g in change not to mention any vendor trash, greens, blues and cloth that drop off all the mobs you just killed. Plus if you are an enchanter you can DE the Boss blues from Scarlet Commander Mograine and HIgh Inquisitor Whitemane sell the shards in AH.
This run take a whopping 10 minutes tops after you run it a few times to get patrol behaviors memorized and I average 12-16g after counting all the change, cloth, random greens and blues, plus shards.
My AoE spell order tends to go like this:
Frost Nova (and strafe away about 8-10 yards)
Flamestrike (immediately followed by)
Cone of Cold
Cold Snap
Frost Nova (and strafe away about 8-10 yards)
Flamestrike (immediately followed by)
Cone of Cold
Blink (away from mobs obviously)
Blizzard
Arcane Explosion (repeat till all dead except Mograine)
Kill Mograine and Whitemane as explained above.
Most of them die in the Blizzard and Arcane Explosion gets the stragglers. And since it will take a little time to get back to the Boss Room again all your cooldowns should be up so you can start fresh!
As far as gear goes, obviously the better your gear the easier this is. Mine is not that great so any 60 mage can pull this off.
I have 5/8 Magister, 3/8 Sorcerer, Orb of the Darkmoon, and 2 Freezing Band. So many folks will have better.
Free World of Warcraft Powerleveling Druid Guide

NOTE: This build is a bit tweaked toward a PvP server as that is the kind of server that I play on, so you might need to tweak it a little bit for PvE. I’ve also assumed that you’ll be soloing right up until 60 (if you start doing high end instances before then you’ll probably be forced to re-spec Resto like the rest of us are).
Also bear in mind this sequence may have a few steps which look pointless but in fact those steps are in there to jump to the next useful talent.
Lvl 10 - Nature’s Grasp - rank 1/1
This is for the sole reason that it’s an EXCELLENT backup when you get ganked. Hammer it on and RUN (if you can’t heal and sort them out)
Lvl 11 - Lvl 15 - Ferocity - rank 5/5
As we’re going to be concentrating on levelling as fast as possible we’re heading up the Feral tree as fast as possible. Ferocity is a better choice than Feral Aggression as FE is more for protection, whereas Ferocity helps with attacking.
Lvl 16 - Lvl 20 - Feral Instinct - rank 5/5 OR Thick Hide - rank 5/5
This is entirely based on your style of play. If you enjoy sneaking up behind enemies in cat form and then shredding them up go for Feral Instinct. If you prefer to just dive straight in and not bother with stealth go for Thick Hide.
Lvl 21 - Lvl 23 - Sharpened Claws - rank 3/3
6% Crit chance increase. Nice little boost for your feral fighting.
Lvl 24 - Feral Charge - rank 1/1
Great for duels, 1v1 PvP and stopping mobs tagging other ones.
Lvl 25 - Feline Swiftness - rank 1/2
Nothing really significant but a little extra speed in cat form.
Lvl 26 - Lvl 28 - Predatory Strikes - rank 3/3
Attack Power increased by 150% of your level. Now that’s a bit better huh?
| Lvl 29 - Lvl 30 - Blood Frenzy - rank 2/2 OR Primal Fury - rank 2/2 Decision time again. Do you fight more in Bear or Cat? Blood Frenzy = Cat, Fury = Bear.Lvl 31 - Faerie Fire (Feral) - rank 1/1 Saves you having to cast it in caster form. Also helps us get toward better talents.Lvl 32 - Lvl 33 - Savage Fury - rank 2/2 20% increase to damage by many of your feral strikes. Lvl 34 - Feline Swiftness - rank 2/2 |
Lvl 35 - Improved Shred - rank 1/2
Less energy used for Shred… Meh…
Lvl 36 - Lvl 40 - Heart of the Wild - rank 5/5
Increases your Intellect by 20%. In addition, while in Bear or Dire Bear Form your Stamina is increased by 20% and while in Cat Form your Strength is increased by 20%!!! Now this is what I’m talking about!
Lvl 41 - Leader of the Pack - rank 1/1
Increase in melee crit chance.
Lvl 42 - Lvl 43 - Blood Frenzy - rank 2/2 OR Primal Fury - rank 2/2
Balancing the Cat and Bear choice from earlier.
Lvl 44 - Improved Shred - rank 2/2
Lvl 45 - Lvl 48 - Improved Nature’s Grasp - rank 4/4
Stepping stone. Can be useful tho as it increases your rooting chance.
Lvl 49 - Lvl 53 - Natural Weapons - rank 5/5
10% Damage increase to all strikes.
Lvl 54 - Omen of Clarity - rank 1/1
Gives you a free attack/spell when it activates (the faster you melee the more it’ll activate so daggers and cat form help)
Lvl 55 - Lvl 57 - Natural Shapeshifter - rank 3/3
30% decrease in the cost to shapeshift.
Lvl 58 - Lvl 59 - Brutal Impact - rank 2/2
Slight increase in stun duration for your Bash and Pounce. May also work with Feral Charge but unsure.
Lvl 60 - Respec Resto so you can go and fight big nasty monsters or stay the same if you play on Muchos PvP goodness.
One Hit Kill for Paladins
Written by admin.
Note: IT ONLY WORKS ON MANGOS SERVERS, NO ANTRIX
You need:
1. Mangos based server(It doesnt works on latest mng revisions.)
2. 70 Level Paladin
3. [Magic Candle] item http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1399
4. Learn specific talents http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=skZEGtIgIdzhqt
Target mob. Use the [Magic candle], it will hit the mob with ~27 dmg, after 1 sec it will hit for -5 (-4) or something like 865403745 dmg sometimes.
Anyway every NPC after recieving a negative damage will DIE!

World of Warcraft Make 90k Gold in 10 minutes
Written by admin.
Just follow the Steps and get 20 000 x ANY Item OR sell this and get over 90 000 Gold =)
Confirmed under newest Ancent Server 2.2.3 at wowscape
You need:
-Any item - i recommended that you take a teach book because it sellable for 10g each.
-Your Charakter have to be near a General Goods Vendor.
-This Macro:
CODE:
/script local function buy (n,q) for i=1,100 do if n==GetMerchantItemInfo(i) then BuyMerchantItem(i,q) end end end buy (”Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper”,249);
Step 1
Have a item that you want to dupe in your bag (on the screen i take over 30 same item because than its faster)

Step 2
Buy Ribboned Wrapping Paper and wrap your items you want to dupe to a gift.


Step 3
Open the General good Vendor window and click the macro what you created.
/script local function buy (n,q) for i=1,100 do if n==GetMerchantItemInfo(i) then BuyMerchantItem(i,q) end end end buy (”Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper”,249);
Click the Macro as often as you have separeted items you want to dupe in your bag.


Step 4
This is the important Step:
Move your wrapped item you want to dupe on the slot in your bag where u have 249 Ribboned wrapping paper. Do this with each other wrapped item you want to dupe, every item have to come on a fresh 249er stack. On the position where your 249 wrapping paper was now you have only 10 wrapping papers and on the position where your wrapped item was you have now 240 wrapped items.


Step 5
Unpack or unwrap your wrapped 240 items and Wallaah you have 240 Items of the same type.

Step 6

World of Warcraft Outland Farming Guide
Written by admin.
I will organise this by level starting in Zangarmarsh because it’s where the basic gold farming begins, and can be done by lower levels. Just a quick note: These maps have indicators where rare spawn sort of path, so if you are near them give it a quick look. Might get you a gold or 2.
Zangarmarsh

South West and Dead Mire Bog Lords
[Mote of Life], [Unidentified Plant Parts], [Bog Lord Tendril], various herbs.
Not much to do here if you’re really looking for money, but it’s a good low-level farming spot and it will also let you farm your Cenarion Expedition (until honored) and Sporeggar (until friendly) reputation.
Greater Spore Bats
Greater Spore Bat
[Fertile Spores], [Unidentified Plant Parts]
Same as Bog Lords, don’t come here if you’re only seeking gold, but it could be a quite profitable spot if the Sporeggar faction become more interesting to level to exalted (at the moment, you only get an alchemy recipe which doesn’t seem to have much use)
Good grinding spot too.
Terokkar Forest

Firewing Point
Firewing Bloodwarder, Firewing Defender, Firewing Warlock
[Arcane Tome], [Firewing Signet], [Netherweave Cloth]
This is a good spot of low level monsters if you’re looking for arcane tomes and netherweave cloth. You can kill them very fast and you should really look into it if you’re a Scryer looking for some easy faction leveling.
Skettis Water Elementals
Skettis Surger
[Mote of Water]
Best Mote of Water farming spot. Don’t have much to say about it, just watch for Alluvion here, you don’t want to aggro a level 72 elite while you farm, do you ?
Shimmerscale Eels
[Mote of Water] [Mote of Mana]
Great spot for lower levels for farm some [Mote of Water] with a smaller drop chance of [Mote of Mana]. Bout a 20% chance to drop 1-2 motes every time, and they can be easily farmed, or 2-shotted by a lvl 70. One otherr great thing is that these mobs arn’t immune to frost, so if you are a frost mage, this is a good spot.
Nagrand

Warmaul Hill
Warmaul Brute, Warmaul Warlock
[Netherweave Cloth], [Obsidian Warbeads]
This is theorically the best way to make money in Burning Crusade. Why ? Because you can use the [Obsidian Warbeads] these monsters drop to level your Consortium faction. The Consortium will mail you a bag of gems at the beginning of each months, its quality depends of your faction with them so you should really consider farming this spot if you’re not exalted with the consortium.
It’s also a nice way to get Netherweave and a few green items
Northwind and Southwind Cleft
Boulderfist Warrior, Boulderfist Mage
[Netherweave Cloth], [Obsidian Warbeads]
The same as Warmaul Hill, just a little lower level but it’s basically the same, just pick whichever spot is free. If you’re a warlock or a hunter, you may prefer the Warmaul Hill though, because the Boulderfist Warriors may charge you even if your pet has the aggro, it’s no big deal but it gets annoying to get stunned 2 sec everytime you engage a warrior. This can be prevented by staying away of them (which isn’t really easy in a cavern)
Halaani Basin
Muck Spawn
[Mote of Water]
Why would you go here when you can farm [Mote of Water] in Skettis ? Easy, these mobs are the only water elementals NOT immune to ice. If you’re a frost mage, you want to go here.
Oshugun Earth Elementals
Shattered Rumbler
[Mote of Earth] There is a very large amount of them, probably the best mote of earth farming spot.
Elemental Plateau
Crashing Wave-Spirit, Raging Fire-Soul, Storming Wind-Ripper, Rumbling Earth-Heart
[Mote of Fire], [Mote of Earth], [Mote of Water], [Mote of Air]
Good mix of Elementals here, but it has been nerfed and the respawn isn’t as good as it used to be, in my opinion you should just farm here if you’re passing by and everything is repoped. Just do a full clean, and leave for another spot
Blade’s Edge Mountains

Not much things to do here, most of the flying mount accessible zones have way too strong monsters to be farmed efficiently. There is around 10 possible spawns of Mana Thistle though.
Fel Rager
[Mote of Fire]
Located where the yellow Mana Thistle area on the mid-left side of the map above. Great spot to farm [Mote of Fire] and rarely camped, only bad thing is that there arn’t too many of these mobs, so if you are a high DPS class it’s basically just a clear it on the way by kind of thing.
Death’s Door demons
Deathforge Technician, Deathforge Over-Smith, Death’s Might, Death’s Watcher, Void Terror
[Mark of Sargeras], [Fel Armament], [Mote of Shadow], [Netherweave Cloth]
The lowest level demon spot you can farm, there are plenty of monsters and you will get all the fel armaments you need.
Searing Elementals- My favortie spot to farm
Searing Elemental
[Mote of Fire]
The only spot with the Hand of Guldan in Shadowmoon valley where you can farm motes of fire efficiently. Monsters are level 67-68 so it should be easy to kill them if you’re level 70.
Netherstorm

Manaforge B’naar, Manaforge Coruu, Manaforge Duro, and Sunfury Hold
Way too many monsters to be listed here, click for a complete list
[Sunfury Signet], [Arcane Tome], [Netherweave Cloth]
Yup, tons of blood elves to slaughter. This is a total of 4 spots to farm your Scryers faction (or items to resell at the AH of course), just pick the one you prefer, they’re basically all the same.
Kirin’var Village
Mana Wraith
[Mote of Mana]
So … Why should you farm motes of mana ? Easy, they’re used to make [Primal Might] and people tends to forget them, farming earth/fire/water/air elementals instead because they’re the one they’re most used to. This is the best spot for farming [Mote of Mana], just a little hard on caster because oen fo the mobs has a spell reflect, adn the other a big mana burn.
Forge Camp: Oblivion and Gehenna
Wrathbringer, Cyber-Rage Forgelord, Gan’arg Mekgineer, Ironspine Forgelord, Wrath Priestess
[Mark of Sargeras], [Fel Armament], [Netherweave Cloth]
Like in most of the Legion spots, monsters are easy to kill, they drop good loots, and the zone is relatively safe so you shouldn’t aggro too many things when you don’t want to.
Shadowmoon Valley

Eclipse Point
Eclipsion Centurion, Eclipsion Archmage, Eclipsion Bloodwarder
[Sunfury Signet], [Arcane Tome], [Netherweave Cloth]
If you didn’t find enough spots in Netherstorm to level your Scryers standing, Eclipse Point is a good place to do it. Be careful though, it could be a little harder than the spots in Netherstorm because of the bloodwarders who will spawn an Eclipsion Hawkstrider when they die. You’ll also encounter a few Eclipsion Dragonhawk, they’re not hard to fight but won’t drop the loots you’re looking for
But overall, the spot is quite good.
Legion’s Hold- My favorite for Aldor Rep Grind
Wrathwalker, Terrormaster, Mo’arg Weaponsmith, Shadow Council Warlock
[Mark of Sargeras], [Fel Armament], [Mote of Shadow], [Netherweave Cloth]
Legion’s Hold is probably the best place to farm your Aldor reputation (or money of course, since all these loots are sellable at the AH). Monsters are easy to kill, and they don’t have much special abilities.
If you’ve got troubles surviving, just don’t rush in the middle of the path, and you should be ok.
Be careful of the two elite roamers, even if you could solo them by kiting, you don’t want to aggro them while you’re fighting, and killing them is pointless to make money.
South and North air elementals
Enraged Air Spirit
[Mote of Air]
These spots aren’t really good to farm if you compare them to other spots, but they are the only way to get motes of air efficiently. Depending of the price of [Primal Air] on your server, it could be the best thing to farm.
The south spot is usually a lot more camped than the north one, and it seems that monsters are more spread out. But most of the time you won’t get any adds (except Collidus roaming here sometimes)
The north one could be a really good farming spot if it didn’t have Scorchshell Pincer everywhere.
Basically, they both have their good and bad points, just pick the one you prefer.
Hand of Guldan Elementals
Enraged Fire Spirit, Enraged Earth Spirit
[Mote of Fire], [Mote of Earth]
Even if Motes of Earth don’t sell for a very high price on most servers (you can get them from mining), you can get a decent amount of Motes of Fire here. The zone is quite large so an epic flying mount will probably boost your efficiency a bit.
There yah go, should be about all the worthwhile farming spots from Zangarmarsh on.
