How are you suppose to find all this stuff out generally?? As if I handt read it on here, I wouldnt know half the things to be honest!

Ive been playing since US Beta, so well over 3 years now. You play a game for 3 years, you pick stuff up.  :lol:  Theres tons of stuff I dont know, mainly about classes I havent played to a high level, so plenty for me to learn.

A great start to learning is to read up. Or if you dont like reading, try wcradio.com - its a WoW Radio station, almost all shows are available in podcast format, so you can listen to them on the way to work or whatever. The shows go from the absolute basics (Learn2Play) through to the raiding part of the game (Dungeon Master), or PvP (Killing Blow) if you like that sort of thing. There are some more general shows on there too. Its recently started a 24/7 stream of old shows, nice to have on in the background whilst grinding, although you may not understand some of the stuff as the shows go back a few years and things have been changed/added/removed since their original broadcast.

If you do like reading : http://www.wowwiki.com/ is a good start. The official forums : http://forums.wow-europe.com/ whilst full of kiddie idiots can be a useful source of info, particularly the Newcomers forum for those that have just started playing. Of course wowhead.com for looking up specifics etc. There are thousands of sites out there to help and give info, youll find ones you like over time. Oh, and if you want your mind to boggle, try http://elitistjerks.com/forums.php its required reading for my guild  :shock:

*edit - Just got my belf pally to 69. Oh joy, another character to grind exalted to with Shatar  :?

*edit2 - Egg, the carrot on a stick is a trinket. Simply right click on it to equip it. It will only have an effect whilst you are mounted and the effect is passive, you dont need to use it, simply have it equipped in a trinket slot whilst mounted.

yea, im wearing it, but still only showing 60% speed :-(

White Giant

Aye, that percentage wont should the benefit of anything, but as long as you have it equipped it will work. Try timing yourself running in a straight line with and without, it wont be much but itll be different.

Cheers for that. Will read through those sites and see what I can make of it, lol.

what the fudge? maybe someone can help explain this?

I was doing a rogue mission and pickpocketed about 30 battered lockboxes.

It wont let me open them when i right click them though? it says Battered Lockbox(1) and the text is green! my lockpick skill is 80 odd.

anyone know why it wont let me open them? or is it just a bug?


on the other hand, ive gone from 23-30 this week and enjoyed it so much, in thousand needles atm and its starting to get a bit frustrating, i need a questing buddy.

nevermind i was being an idiot, expecting it to just use pick lock when i right clicked it, instead i had to actively click pick lock in spells and abilities, and then click the lock. PITA tbh.

Leon

eh? swear you can just right click to pick?! Been awhile since played rogue tho

Is that the Axe?? Looks pretty tasty!!

Eggtastico


White Giant

Hehe, was about to abuse the gnome!

The axe that the felgaurd uses has the same model as the Arcanite Reaper (Hoooooo!). Useless thesedays, but pretty nonetheless.
