    Famous 1-60 Leveling Guide!
    "Mining Thorium

    Estimated number of nodes to mine = 160

    This is the reason you took up mining, Thorium."My guide is totally updated for the Burning Crusade Expansion pack and more content added! For those of you who have not bought it yet, please read on to learn more about who I am and what my guide is all about! For those of you who already know who I am and want to get to know me even better, then you can go to my section here and venture with me on my journeys through the various servers I have played on! Possibly soon I will have a web log up where you can view what the heck I'm doing as far as what my current projects are etc, for now you can sign up for my newsletter if you'd like.

    My guide contains the same leveling strategies, questing patterns, techniques, and secrets I have used to get the best record time to level 60 on a new server, which is 4 days 20 hours /played! The realm I have achieved this on was the Jubei'Thos server, and I am currently getting prepared to set records for 1-70!

    More info about me:

    I either play a male character named Mancow or a female character named Joana.
    What a moneymaker.I have been first to 60 now on 6 different servers, one of my goals with World of Warcraft is to get to 60 (or 70 now) on new servers with the least amount of /played time possible, this means each time I went to 60 in WoW I have been revising my routes in order to achieve a better /played time.buy wow gold.
    Your also looking to get Arcane Crystal from the rich veins, which will sell for about 20g each (depends on your server).So far my best time is 4 days 20 hours /played time to 60, this was done on the Jubei'Thos realm.



    # Un’goro Crater: just go round and round the crater, making sure you drop down into The Slithering Scar and take a detour into Fire Plume Ridge.I have this entire 4 day 20 hour run RECORDED, the whole thing is recorded and implemented into my guide!

    I was the first to 50 in the race to 50 leveling contest Blizzard held last year, here's a pic of the runners up when I hit 50:

    Why do I level characters to get good /played times.wow eu.
    There is loads of Thorium to be had here, which is why its farmed constantly, so you will be competing for nodes here. Well, I am a speed runner, I have been doing speed runs through games my whole life, I am a dedicated gamer, and spend LOTS of my time finding the fastest ways to finish a game.

    # Azshara: start at the Ravencrest Monument and follow the coastal cliff all the way round to the Tower of Eldra.I am most likely the fastest Power Leveler in World of Warcraft because of this, many may know me by now with all the servers I have played on, and have seen the results of me hitting 60 under a weeks span.or wow.
    Then head back west to the Legash Encampment in a zigzag pattern from coast to coast.That's right I can get to 60 under a week (playing less than 5 days of it), so I log out plenty to eat, sleep, and other RL things.
    You may also want to drop into the Ruins of Eldarath and pick up the couple of nodes that spawn there. Take a look at typical screenshots of me leveling up on new servers, I get tell after tell all day long while leveling! (also note how far ahead I am from everybody on the /who list, usually when I hit 60, no one else has even hit 50 yet!)
    "
    .wow honor leveling.

    Azshara isn’t the greatest place to mine Thorium, due to its natural geography, but that does mean its less popular and therefore your likely to have less competition.

    # Winterspring: start at Everlook and head south to the Ice Thistle Hills.wow eu.
    Make a quick sweep of the yeti cave here and then back out and to the south.
    Keep going till you get to Owl Wing Thicket and make a small circuit there.
    Now you can either carry on south into Frostwhisper and Darkwhisper Gorge’s if your happy about avoiding the elites there, or you can head west over to Mazthoril for the slightly lower level elite area.
    Once at Mazthoril, you can either sweep the main cave (only recommended for Druids, Rogues or Hunters) or carry on up to Lake Kel’Theril and back round to Everlook.

    # Blasted Lands: not a massive amount of Thorium to be had here, but good for a quick run, whilst your looking for Mithril.

    # Searing Gorge: same as the Mithril run above.

    # Burning Steppes: No real decent run here.
    Just do full circuits picking up Dark Iron as well.

    # Eastern Plaguelands: start at Tyr’s Hand and head north past Lights Hope Chapel.
    Go past The Noxious Glade and onto Northdale.
    Head west to Northpass Tower and then south to Blackwood Lake.
    Carry on south to the Pestilent Scar and then onto Lake Mereldar and back to your starting point.
    You may want to throw in a quick diversion to The Fungal Vale, in between Northpass Tower and Blackwood Lake.

    # Western Plaguelands: start at The Weeping Cave and head south to Gahrrons Withering and then west to Dalsons Tears.
    Head northwest from here to the edge of Felstone Field and follow the cliffs north into the Northridge Lumber Camp.
    Follow the path up towards Hearthglen and then double back once you reach the watchtower.
    Head south and follow the cliffs all the way back round to The Weeping Cave.

    "to be continue...
    "My wife and I would like to try World of Warcraft together, so we are ready to get set up but I have some questions before we do anything..."Next, you need to put some consideration into what type of item you want to make.


    1) We pretty much just want to run around the world and do quests together without too much interaction with others (at least for now).Again, try to avoid making equipment with gray/white text.1GB MP3 PLAYER.
    Is Normal or RP the best for that.Look at your list of known recipes, and focus on the items with orange and yellow text, because these items will raise your skill the most per item made.


    2) I read that new characters start in a particular 'region'.Go to the auction house and search for the options you are considering.wow eu.
    If I choose Human and she chooses Night Elf, won't we be in completely different places when we start.Avoid making items that already have several up for sale, because with every additional item of the same type for sale along with yours, the odds of you selling your item is diminished.
    How do we find each other to quest together.Make sure the item you want to make is profitable to sell.best mp3 player.


    3) On a technical note, both our computers are behind a router.You can do this by adding up the costs of the reagents, then doing a search on the item to see if the going price is higher or lower than that number.
    I read that to play you must use port forwarding, but that can only go to one internal IP.For example, if you want to make Rugged Leather Pants, which requires 5 light leather and 5 coarse thread, then you would multiply the upper estimate of the going price, which we determined earlier to be 4 silver, by 5, and add 2 silver to cover the costs of the coarse thread, which the npc sells for 40 copper each.cheap wow gold.

    However, I know that others successfully play with multiple PCs behind the same external IP address, so is port forwarding NOT really needed after all.The total is 22 silver, and this will be the minimum price you can sell this item for without suffering losses.
    I am wondering if that is really only for the patcher utility.This amount can often make a good starting price for your item.fast wow gold.


    4) Logically I would think we should pick a Realm with Low population, but I read elsewhere that maybe that's not the best thing if you want to join Guilds etc.If the buyout price is equal to or less than this amount, do not make this item and choose something else.
    Is medium better or does it really matter.

    Once you have finally decided on what item you want to make, you can buy the reagents you need and get to work.


    1) not much difference (unless you like to roleplay)

    2) yes each race starts in different areas (with the exception of dwarf/gnome and orc/troll).Be sure only to buy reagents priced less than the upper estimate of the going price you calculated earlier, or you will have to reevaluate the minimum price for which you can sell the item.
    It's quite a hike to get a Night Elf from Teldrassil to Northshire, unless you can find a friendly mage to port her to Stormwind

    3) Not sure on this one, as I only have 1 computer trying to play wow on my router.Do not worry if you spend a lot of money on reagents, it takes money to make money, and if you are successful, it will all come back to you and more very soon.


    4)If you 2 are just going to be questing with each other, then doesn't really matter, although low pop may decrease the chance of having other people doing the same quests as you."
    .

    Once you have made your items, you are finally ready to sell them at the auction house.

    Your starting price should be somewhere around the minimum profit amount calculated earlier.
    Your buyout price should equal the going price for the item.
    To find the going price for equipment, do a search for the item.
    The going price is usually the lowest price you can buy it for.
    If one or two items seem to be priced unusually lower than the others being sold, buy them and put them back for sale at a higher price.
    Always put a semi-reasonable buyout price, because people usually want to buy an item so they can use it for a quest they are working on right away.
    Go ahead and use the 24 hour time period, if the item sells in less than 8hrs, the extra money will be returned to you in the email added in with the amount you sold the item for.

    "Raid Setup
    Tanks: 1
    Healers : 3-4
    DPS : 5-6


    Buffs, Potions and Gear
    Despite its 10 man level, Zul'Aman fights are quite intense."Raston found himself on the cold stone floor of a jail cell.
    Even with something like Tier 6, they're quite a challenge, especially for the healers.He could hear the many sounds of Stormwind threw his cell window.mmorpg gold.
    Therefore, full potions and flasks are quite handy, if not required, depending on the level of your gear.He had made it, though not the way he had planned.
    They're even more required if you're aiming to kill all the bosses on the 20 minute timer, where one wipe can cost you the bonus loot chest.


    Boss Abilities
    HP - 1,000,000
    Melee Hit - around 3,000 damage on each hit
    Enrage - There are 2 Enrages.He tried to stand up but his body ached.mp3 players.
    The first one is either after 5 minutes, or when he hits 25% HP, whichever comes first.He made his way over to the door of his cell to try and get a look around.
    It increases his attack speed and damage by 50%.His cell seemed to be at the end of a dark hallway with an iron door at the other end.runescape money.
    It's only a slight increase to his damage, and nothing to be worried about.

    The second Enrage is 10 minutes into the fight, which makes him go berzerk and kill everyone, hitting tanks for over 30k damage.He could see four other cells as well but could not see their inhabitants, if they had inhabitants at all.
    Shield Wall is the only way to survive it, so save that in case he goes berzerk at about 2-5%.

    Flame Breath - A coned AoE attack, much likes the mage's Dragon Breath.His head ached horribly.wow gold euro.
    It targets a random player, and everyone in its cone gets hit for for 4,375 to 5,625 fire damage.He sit up against the wall to where he would have a clear view of the hallway.wow level service.

    It has a 50 yard range, so it cannot be avoided on his platform.

    (continue)"
    .He passed out.


    He could feel himself being lifted.
    He opened his eyes to see what was going on.
    Two armed guards where carrying him by his arms down the hall then up some stairs.
    They walked down another hallway then threw a heavy wooden door.
    There was another man in this room standing behind a desk.
    The two guards sit Raston down in a chair in front of the desk and shut the door.


    “I am Sir Danon Strongarm.
    Tell me why you were heading for Stormwind, Horde.” He was dressed in very fine Armor.
    Raston could tell that he was in charge here, and that he did not care much for Raston.
    “I come to swear my allegiance to the Alliance, sir.” Raston let out a cough and then tried to sit up straight in his chair.
    He wanted to show a strong exterior.
    “Lies! How can you join the Alliance when you already serve the Horde.
    You can not deny it, you bare the mark of the Horde on your shoulder.” Danon pointed to Raston's shoulder as if Raston had forgot where his shoulder was located.
    Raston looked at his shoulder and then back to Danon.
    “I do not deny it, sire.
    I was part of the Horde.
    I have contributed to many deaths and to unspeakable acts of evil.
    I will have to live with that burden for the rest of my life, but doesn't a man deserve the right to try and make up for some of his wrong doings.
    I know that I can never make up for the harm I have caused while I was with the Horde, but maybe I can start doing some good if I am accepted into the Alliance.” Danon Strongarm stood there for a moment, looking at Raston as if seeing into his very soul.

    “How am I to know these claims of loyalty are true.
    What assurance can you offer me.
    ” Raston looked at the man straight in the eyes.
    “I offer you, sire.
    The Horde.”

    Danon Strongarm stands ontop of a grassy hill, overlooking a vally below.
    Looking down into the vally he see's exactly what Raston told him he would see, Horde.
    Raston had revealed to Danon the location of this Horde emcampment.
    While the Alliance forces would have discovered it eventually, the Horde forces from this encampment were behind many of the latest attacks on merchants traveling along a nearby supply route so Danon happily accepted Raston's offer.
    Not quite sure if he was actually going to find anything here or not, he was worried that he would be wasting his time, but if he was going to look for this encampment, he was going prepaired.
    Danon looks back at his unit of Men and Dwarves behind him and gives the order to prepair to charge.

    logged feeling
    "Raston stood there, in front of the entrance to Elywnn Forest."Right before I logged for bed last night, after my last EotS match, I decided to try my hand at the Twilight Ridge daily I just got since I hit honored on Netherwing earlier in the night.wow powerlevel.
    The view of the forest in the sitting sun was quite beautiful, but he had not traveled here for the view.Pretty tough, I have to watch out for elites and rez my pet a few times after some tricky pulls.wow honor leveling.


    He travels to Stormwind, the last remaining Human stronghold.

    A wandering pat aggroes me while I'm killing one of those snakes hoping for a Cobra Scale.mp3 players.
    It is there, he will pledge his allegiance to the Alliance.What I got was a lot better.
    It was not a decision that Raston made easily.I kill all three mobs (the pat had a little hound with him) and get to looting.eq2 platinum.
    He was unsure if the humans of Stormwind would accept him, having been trained in the Dark Arts of the Warlock.I see a flash of purple in my chat log.
    But it was not only his knowledge of dark magic that worried him.It's late at night, my eyes aren't focusing correctly, so I a double, triple, even quadruple take.4GB MP3 PLAYER.
    He had also served willingly under Prince Arthus during the last war.

    Yep, Don Santos' Famous Hunting Rifle dropped! Was on my hunter, and it was better than my current rifle, but my hunter is my gold farmer and he's already wearing the epic Ogri'la xbow.
    He was with there when Arthus destroyed Lordaeron and did not think twice after hearing that Arthus had killed his father, King Terenas.That's good enough for me.


    Raston treaded quietly threw the forest.

    Popped that on the AH for 1200 gold and it sold by the time I woke up.

    He did not wish to travel along the path.Wonder if I could've gotten more...
    The path is patrolled by Stormwind sentry's and he did not wish to be discovered, not yet.oh well that's enough price gouging methinks.
    He stopped, he heard movement up ahead.That's almost 1/4 of my warrior's epic flyer!

    So yeah, I logged feeling pretty damn good too.
    Thinking it best that he had some assistance navigating his way unnoticed threw the forest he began to cast a spell.Especially since I had enough honor to buy a new piece of pvp gear on my warrior before logging too."
    .
    After speaking the final word of conjuring an imp appeared in front of him.


    “Do you require my service, master.
    ” The imp said, bowing his head in obedience.
    “I am here to serve.” Raston put a finger over his lips as a sign to be quite.
    “Tell me, Drakken.
    What creature blocks my path.
    ” The imp looks off into the distance.
    It was total darkness but that did not matter to his abyssal eyes.
    “Kobolds master, a small patrol of Kobolds.
    Four of them.”

    Raston crept slowly towards the Kobolds.
    Once in view of the creatures, Raston begins to once again cast another spell.
    The creatures did not know what was going on before it was to late, they all burst into a blue flame that seemed to burn their very soul.
    They all collapsed.


    “Very nice, master! Your power is so great!” stated the imp in excitement.
    “Shut up! We need to stay quite.
    Tell me if anything else gets in our way.” Then, from the south the sound of running, tearing threw the underbrush.
    “Humans master! It be Humans after us!” Drakken jumped up and down pointing towards the south.
    Raston knew that he could not get away now that the patrols knew he was here.

    He turned to Drakken.
    “I release you.” A flame engulfed the imp and when the flame was gone, so was the imp.


    The human patrol came upon Raston and surrounded him.
    Their torch light seemed increadably bright to his eyes after being in the dark of the forest for the past several hours.
    They had their weapons drawn and Raston could tell by the look on their faces that they were ready to strike him down.
    The groups leader took a step forward.


    “What are you doing here in the woods.
    ” said the sentry, looking Raston over.
    Raston straightened himself up as if trying to make himself more presentable.
    “I am Raston Darkfall.
    I travel to Stormwind.
    I wish to pledge allegiance to the Alliance.” “You wish to join the Alliance you say.
    ” The sentry stepped up to Raston and tugged on the collar of Raston's robe to reveal a mark, burned into his very skin, on his left shoulder.
    “As I suspected, the mark of the Horde.” Raston was worried now.
    “Wait! You don't understand!” Raston was silenced by a sentry's sword hilt to the back of his head.


    The lead sentry looked at two of his patrol.
    “Take him to Stormwind for questioning.” They picked up Raston's limp body and headed off to towards Stormwind.

    Blog:Activision Blizzard….WTF!
    "Right now, you NEED to take advantage of mining."So much news going on around Blizzard this month.wow honor.
    Mining is required right now for mad loot.I know I am no where near the first or last blogger to blog about this merger between Activision and Blizzard.aion gold.
    Your other profession is up to you, but as far as money makers, enchanting/tailoring/herbalism is good.

    Copper ore will probably sell 2-5g per stack.I really had to take some time to get my head around this merger.

    Of course, everyone is like it’s no big deal…nothing will change.zubehoer mp3 player.
    You can either farm and sell the raw ore, or craft the bars.I really don’t believe that at all because nothing can’t stay the same forever and anytime you put two companies together changes are going to happen.wow lvl service.
    The bars tend to sell for more money, but with jewelcrafting, they can prospect the raw ore into gems.

    Blacksmiths need around 500 thorium bars to reach 300.The good, the bad, and the ugly will happen from this.runescape money.
    Thorium veins are rare and often hard to get to.I might be overreacting a little bit which I hope I am.
    A rich thorium node contains between 2-6 pieces of thorium, plus you will also have a chance at an arcane crystal.When I first read the news I got a sinking feeling in my stomach, you know that feeling that happens right before you are in a car accident…yeah, that kind of feeling.

    I’ve been playing (addicted) to Blizzard games since the good old Warcraft 2 days and haven’t stopped since.
    After farming, I can usually get around 1 stack a night (after working for about 2 hours, with some distractions).Some say that’s good, others say that’s bad but that’s for a different post.
    It's not unusual for thorium going around 30-35g a stack.

    Tailoring is just a good way to make money off of bags. I just feel like the end of a great era of Blizzard is coming, who knows.

    I'm not too sure how the market is doing these days, but Runecloth bags are still a good money maker.I just don’t see this merger as good…what do you think.
    I would imagine Netherweave bags sell for a decent amount of coinage.

    comments:
    Yeah, Blizzard games have always had their own “flavor”… The question is, is this like Pepsi buying 7up, where the flavors say distinct and different, or is this like Mercedes buying Chrysler, and the Chryslers start to look more like Mercedes.
    Herbalism, just picking roots to sell to alchemists...

    My bet is that there are one or two people who hold the gold-dust for Blizzard.
    still a decent way of making some quick dough."
    .Maybe we don’t know who those two people are or maybe we do, but it’s really their heroic influence that has made these games great.
    If that person or if those people don’t exist or get shoved aside or eaten up.

    Oh man, I’m really getting worked up about this.
    I’m going to have a cup of water and do my deep-breathing exercies.
