World of Warcraft General Discussion

IIRC it’s in the northeastern building at the Magus Commerce Exchange, where you also find the Blacksmith trainers.

Raises a hand

Depends a bit on the exact circumstances, but unless someone in your party is still in the instance expect to log back in at beginning of a fresh instance.

and then there were 4… 6 to go!

OK not too bad then, I was worried we’d be hearthed or something which would be very annoying as the inn is in Tanaris.

Quasi! I sat down this Saturday and put together what I think would be a good talent build for you to level with: Fury. If you decide to go this route, you will want to use **two **one-handed weapons, one in each hand.

Wolkie was 43 when I looked him up, so that’s what I started with.
1.) Talents at 43.
2.) Talents at 50.
3.) Talents at 60.

The point I have Wolkie take when he hits 60 is Titan’s Grip, and it will allow him to equip two two-handed weapons instead of two one-handers.

If you decide you want to change Wolkie’s talents, have him talk to any Warrior trainer (the ones you learn new talents from). They will have a dialogue option that says something about wanting to remove your skills or talents or something like that. It will give you a confirmation dialogue. (The first change costs something like 1g.)

Before you put in your new talents, I highly suggest that you enable the option that allows you to preview your talent changes. You want to go to Options, then Interface, then a tab that I believe is called Features. There will be a check box to enable talent previews. When you enable it, you will get a confirmation box at the bottom of your talent tree when you’re putting points in. You can click to add talents and right-click to remove them, and they’re not actually used until you click the confirmation.

Yeah, that’s always been so completely WTF for me that I just stick my fingers in my ears and go, “LALALALALA, NOT REALLY ARCANE DAMAGE.”

I was also thinking this morning about Tyrande. She already has a history of doing stupidly dangerous, short-sighted things if she thinks she’ll get some immediate benefit (e.g., slaughtering her own people to break Illidan out of his prison). So allowing Night Elf Mages again isn’t so completely out of the realm of responsibility.

Ferelas is an entire zone. Steamwheedle is on the coast of Tanaris, right?

  1. Go west in Tanaris to the Goblin city of Gadgetzan (it’s in the middle of the very north of the zone–get the flight point while you’re there, if you don’t have it yet).
  2. Turn north at Gadget and head into the zone Thousand Needles.
  3. Go west through Thousand Needles and you’ll get to Ferelas.

Sometimes the quest is just to find somebody. In that case, it won’t be “Complete” until you actually talk to them, but they’ll have their yellow question mark anyway.

This is always how I get to Azuremyst on a Hordie (which I’ve done repeatedly on my Troll Hunter). I get naked, swim to the end of the pier, drown myself, run back and wait at the end of the pier as a ghost, and then rez on the boat when it arrives.

Keep in mind: you don’t have a death durability loss if you’re naked, but you will still lose 25% on everything you’re carrying–whether equipped or in your packs–if you choose to rez at a Spirit Healer.

Side note: necks, rings, trinkets, relics, ammo, and tabards have no durability, so it’s okay to leave those equipped.

:smiley:

A lot of people have their chat logs filtered or just don’t watch them.

Hit “H.” This will bring up your Honor window. You can see how many Honor Points you have to spend, as well as your Honorable Kills (HKs).

Some quest items can be sold; some can’t. If you can’t find 'em, you can always start over. To be safe, I’d go back to the NPC who gave me the quest, abandon it, then pick it back up again.

On most servers, yes. Your average daily quest at 80 nets you about 13g (some get you 20g+), so max-level characters tend to have quite a bit to throw around, and a lot of the time it’s easier to just buy the mats to speed-level professions for yourself or your alts than to farm the mats yourself.

You want a shop in the merchant district called Tanks for Everything. It has an orange stained glass window of an axe. If you look at the merchant district like a rainbow, it’s at the bottom right side (across the road from the herbalist).

I can’t quite remember–but I think it either boots you outside or to the nearest graveyard.

Tanks For Everything, First To Your Aid, Simply Enchanting, Like Clockwork…

Apparently the pun is the highest form of humor in Dalaran.

I’m horrible with this. I get into questing and don’t even look at my chat window half the time. Hell, I’m in a great guild on Garrosh (the Daily Kos guild, The Wreck List) and half the time I completely lose the thread of guild chat because my attention is on questing. I’ve gone back through my chat log and seen direct whispers that I’ve completely missed. I’m really bad at paying attention to anything but my questing.

Finally finally finally dinged exalted with Sons of Hodir. Now what will I do on a daily basis?

I had a similar problem at one point. I’m an add-on junky, to the point that I don’t think I have a single bit of Blizzard’s default UI left and I’m not sure how much other people like them, but I found WIM to be very useful for this. It pops up tells in a separate window much like AOL Instant Messanger that is very configurable (eg, hide in combat, single window with multiple tabs, etc.). After getting that, I seldom miss tells unless I get several from several different people at the same time.

As for guild chat, I’ve also found that getting a mod that will highlight anything in a text window with my character’s name and add it to SCT very helpful. That way, if it’s something where people want my input and to the point where they say my name, I don’t miss it. I use Chatter (I think Prat does more or less the same), and they also have a lot of other nifty features built in for making chat more fluid.

The Argent Tournament is an awesome time-killer.

Dalaran, nothing. All of Azeroth is full of puns.

ARGENT TOURNAMENT GOGOGOGOGO

Oh definitely. It just seems so out of place in the magocratic city of lights.

Show Gnomercy, bahaha…

OTOH, I frequently have quests in my log that are labeled “Complete” when they most certainly are not, so I wouldn’t depend on that as an indicator.

Thing is, my first attempt at communication wasn’t a whisper. When I portaled into SW, this other character was standing in exactly the same spot I was and I saw her name in the tooltip as I started moving and my mouse passed over her. I immediately stopped and turned around so I was facing her (if it was the real world, I was probably 6-10 feet away) and spoke via /s in dialogue bubbles, so she could hardly have missed it (unless there’s an option to turn those off the same way you can turn Party Chat bubbles off).

Thanks - it didn’t even occur to me to look there, as my brain processed that area as “Here there be trainers” :stuck_out_tongue:
I went ahead and sprung for the black shoulders for my draenei fire mage. As luck would have it, the Darkcloth Shoulderpads of Concentration were still there on the AH for 132g (which I wasn’t going to pay), but this time there was also a Darkcloth Shoulderpads of The Owl for 85g, which I didn’t mind paying.

Now I just need some black gloves to complete the look. Those are easier to find and less expensive than the shoulders, but the gloves Svelexi is currently wearing have the “of Fiery Wrath” suffix, giving me +10 to my Fire spells, and I don’t want to give that up right now.

1.) She might have been AFK.
2.) She might have had other windows up such as tradeskills or talent points.
3.) She might have just not been watching. (I have /say hidden in the chat window I usually use and I don’t usually read the bubbles around me, especially if I’m doing something else.)

There is, and I always have all chat bubbles off - I find them distracting and annoying, and I really don’t like feeling as if I’m playing in a comic book, heh. It’s easy to miss /say chat if you have a high-activity guild or general or trade channels on that cause fast scrolling. Heck, sometimes I miss /say just because it’s white text and doesn’t really catch my eye - there’s a reason my “important” channels are garishly coloured.

I guess that’ll do, but not for very long, I’m already exalted with 4/5 of the races. So what’s that? 5 days?

It takes about 10 days to get through the preliminary dailies, and then you can earn about 5 currency units a day through dailies to buy nifty shiny things. 30 currency units gets you an epic weapon (at least for Tauren, I don’t know if the other Horde quartermasters have different purples available) that’s roughly equivalent to a titansteel (whatever). There are also several different blue items, as well as tons of tabards, mounts, vanity pets, et cetera et cetera.

It’s worth more than just rep. You can make a lot of money doing it, and the Champion’s Seals are nice for things like the squire who can make bank trips for you, a tabard that can teleport you there (nice for doing the raid or dungeon), and you can buy some epics with them too if you’re still trying to gear up. I finished the Crusader thing a while ago, but I still try to do them every day because I make around 160g or so in about 20 minutes which generally covers the expenses for a night of raiding.

Yeah, but once you get the Crusader title a whole other set of daily quests appears… it becomes a bit of a grind but there are some pretty cool rewards for the Crusader Seals (the Dragonhawk mount in particular is bad-ass).

I’ve started doing the Argent dailies too, now that I have the “lower level” Hodir shoulder enchants on all my toons. Some of the items seem well worth the time. Right now, my eye is on weapons.

We ride the boat while doing our [For The Horde] festivities :smiley:

Nope. The only differences between what the quartermasters sell are the mounts, tabards, and pets. All the useful stuff is standard across all 5 factions.
