Swordsmiths, Axesmiths or Hammersmiths

If you wish to specialize as an Armorsmith or Weaponsmith you can do so only at high levels. You can also specialize as Swordsmiths, Axesmiths or Hammersmiths. If you are unsure which area to specialize in, ask your guild which one they need the most. If at any time you would like to change your specialization you will be required to unlearn your present specialization and choose a new one which will require a fee to be paid. This varies from 5 gold up to 100 gold depending upon your level.

You can make a lot of gold by making and selling your wares at the Auction House and to other players, but you must ensure your goods are well crafted to obtain top prices.

Blacksmithing Alliance and Horde

Shields can be enhanced by attaching a shield spike which will increase the damage done to the enemy.

To become a Master Blacksmith (skill level 300-375) you will need to go to Outland to get training. There are various areas you should visit depending on whether you are a Horde or Alliance player.

Similarly if you want to become a Grand Master Blacksmith (skill level 375 – 450) you will need training at Northrend. Again whether you are Alliance or Horde you will need to visit various areas for training and quests to proceed. There are some areas that both the Alliance and Horde can visit side by side without coming to blows.

WoW Blacksmith Items

You can make a great deal of gold by selling items that you have made, either at the Auction House or directly to other players. Some WoW Blacksmith recipes require leather which can be bought from a skinner.

The ingredients you will need include Weak Flux, Strong Flux, Elemental Flux, Coal and Grinding Stones. You will need, for some recipes, cloth, leather or gems.

The Blacksmith can also construct items to enhance your equipment.

A weapon chain can be created to assist players to keep hold of their weapons as it becomes impossible for anyone to disarm a player once he has a weapon chain attached.

WoW Blacksmith

If you are planning to be a WoW Blacksmith we suggest you should also be a miner as the miner can smelt ore into bars that the blacksmith needs. With these you will be able to make arms and armor. These items are much sought after and are often of a better standard than those that are obtained from vendors or monsters in the game. The WoW Blacksmith can help with weapons damage by offering sharpening and weight stones.

One of the best complete WoW Blacksmith Guide manuals can be found at
Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide

Alchemists are well liked

Specializing in one of three areas is possible only for the highest skill levels – they are Transmuting, Potions and Elixirs. You must be at least a level 68 with 345 skill in alchemy to be able to specialize. There are various areas/trainers you will need to go to obtain specialist ratings WoW Guide To suggests you get additional information.

The Alchemists are naturally well liked, especially when they hand out free potions. Make sure you let your friends know you are an Alchemist and they will probably save any recipes or reagents they may find just for you.

Transmutation by Alchemists

If you wish to create mana potions the spell casting classes will be most happy to take them off you. You can trade or give your potions to other players and of course create potions for yourself.

Transmutation by Alchemists is a way to convert raw material. To do this you need a Philosophers Stone which you make yourself. Transmuting can only be done once, with a wait of anything from 24hours to 4 days before you can transmute again. Various transmutes are learned from formulas that you purchase from trainers, obtain as reputation rewards or find as drops from monsters.

Enchanting could be a second choice to Herbalism though this is not generally as good unless you want a one stop item or buff shop.

Potions Flasks Elixirs

You will also require reagents which can be obtained from the Profession merchants and can also be obtained from other players, monsters, chests and fishing.

All potions, Flasks and Elixirs need some type of Vial. Vials can be purchased from any goods vendor. There are five different vials: Empty – which is used for lower level potions. Leaded are used to create mid-level potions. Enchanted, Imbued and Crystal are all used to create the higher level flasks and potions.

WoW Alchemy is helpful to all classes of characters. You can offer buff (buff is a gift to one of your allies to improve their skills or resistance in some way) and of course healing potions to help your allies heal. WoW Guide recommends you seek further information in this area.

Alchemist

You will need to acquire Herbs to create alchemy recipes, although herbalism is not required technically, it a good idea to have. All WoW alchemy recipes require herbs and the Herbalist is the perfect gatherer skill to compliment the Alchemist. Wow Guide To recommends that it is better to collect these herbs yourself as they tend to be very expensive and other players may not have the herbs you require for a particular potion.

You can purchase herbs at the Auction House, but you will need a lot of gold. It is much cheaper to harvest them yourself.

WoW Professions

Of course in order to cook, you may need fish, so learn to take the rod in hand and catch the tasty fish that inhabit the waters of our world and it doesn’t stop there.

You may train as a crafter of fine jewels, pendants and figurines that may be just for decoration, but may have in them magical powers to beguile.

Finally, you may be one who cares for others and will learn the expertise required to provide First Aid to all who are sick and injured, making bandages and poisons to help when no true healer is at hand.

All of this and more can be yours in the World of Warcraft. Check out the pages in this section for more detail of The Professions of WoW!!

Professions

Maybe you will learn the fine art of enchanting and grant special assistance to those needing added strength, vigor and power.

Once you have gathered herbs, you may learn the fine art of inscription and inscribe Runes of Power that will aid your friends and confound your enemies.

Cooking the finest of dishes that magically add strength and stamina to the eater is another of the many professions you will find.

WoW Warrior PvP Guide

In PvP situations, you are often confronted with different challenges and problems that you may not know how to solve. In fact, if you are new to PvP , this might feel like what happens for every PvP situation. However, a good WoW Warrior PvP Guide can help immensely in this regard, especially if you have a WoW Warrior that you do not yet know how to handle in PvP situations. Combating casters, ranged fighters, and healers especially can be important for Warriors and the only way you will learn about how to do so is by reading about them in a Warrior PvP Guide.

WoW Warrior is for you

WoW Guide To Summary: The WoW Warrior is one of the hardest classes to play in the end-game, however if you become proficient at it you will also be the most popular. A quality Warrior is quite literally worth his weight in gold, and it is not unusual for good WoW Warriors to command huge sums when running dungeons. They also lend themselves to leadership – the warrior generally calls the shots if they have the necessary experience, for it is on their quality that most groups succeed or fail. If you want to be amongst the very best, to be in charge, and to run every dungeon in the world, then the WoW Warrior is for you.

WoW Guide to Warrior PvP:

The High End Warrior

Given their love of shiny metallic things, WoW Warriors are highly suited to being miners and blacksmiths. The high-end Warrior smith can find himself crafting his own weapons or armour, specialising in either field to create stunning swords or arrow-stopping breastplates with massive magical enhancements.

Warrior Strengths

Having said all that, never underestimate the Warrior ability to suddenly turn all of that around. It isn’t all a defensive game. By dropping a shield and drawing a second axe, the WoW Warrior can suddenly become a fearsome and unstoppable foe, dealing massive melee damage while still retaining massive toughness and implacability, shrugging off all but the most grievous of blows.

WoW Warriors are massively strong, and can wield two double-handed weapons. Indeed, the Warrior is probably the class most highly dependent on their equipment – their swords, shield and armour are their most prized possessions.

The Warrior Abilities

Unlike many other characters, a WoW Warrior is probably the most altruistic of all classes – they live with massive repair costs to their valuable armour, spend hours and hours sharpening weapons, polishing shields, repairing straps and building contraptions all with the thought of providing that front-line melee defensive juggernaut for their friends.

WoW Warriors rely on rage for their powers – pain makes them angry, whether receiving it or giving it out, and it is this power that provides the WoW Warrior with his exceptional abilities.

The WoW Warrior

Warriors can use any weapon, use any armour, wield any shield and don any helm produced in the World of Warcraft universe; indeed, it is their role, their purpose and their life. Their martial prowess is such that they have a strategy to suit any occasion: Battle Stance for when they need to fight long tough hours and outlast their opponents, Defensive Stance for when it is time to hunker down and draw attention on behalf of their allies, and then the insane Berserker Stance, where the WoW Warrior gives away all pretence at self-preservation and instead flies into a destructive, murderous rampage!

The Dangerous Warlock

Warlocks are powerhouses in PvP, especially Arena play, for a few good reasons. They are downright nasty to fight against. Their ability to load up damage on an opponent and then simply let them whither to death while feared is not only incredibly effective, it is downright cruel if you think about it and makes them greatly feared by many classes. Of course, they are not indestructible and essentially any skilled player can defeat a WoW Warlock if they have the knowledge to counteract the fear and DoTs that make a Warlock so dangerous.

WoW Guide To Warlock

WoW Guide To Summary: The WoW Warlock is a ranged damage class that gives away the sheer firepower of a WoW Mage for greater crowd control through curses, demonic assistance and longevity. WoW Warlocks gain in utility through the end game levels, as their array of damage over time abilities, given these often epic fights, have the proper time to come to their full, frightful conclusion. It is an intriguing and powerful class in Azeroth, and if you are into the darker side of light, then the WoW Warlock may just be for you!

WoW Guide To Warlock PvP:

Warlock powers

Of course, no demonic magic would be completed without the vampire’s touch, and the Warlock’s ability to gain health by draining it directly from his opponents is, perhaps, his most terrifying ability.

He also gains access to demonic steeds – these nightmare beasts, with fire for hooves and a mane of demon power provides a cheap and highly effective – if somewhat visible! – mode of transport for the WoW Warlock.

Finally, a powerful WoW Warlock gains power of death itself – able to place soul energy into demonic stone for his party members to use during their struggles, and even to cheat death itself.

Warlock Gossip

He has turned away from the traditional arcane studies of the mages and shamans of Azeroth – indeed, the Warlock was once one of those practitioners but their investigation of demon energies and control have led them into this dark realm.

An experienced WoW Warlock has a large number of demonic helpers – from the small, fire spitting imp, the beautiful and deadly dark mistress, to the massive, hulking void walkers, a Warlock very rarely travels alone.

With the ability to cast curses on a number of targets at the same time, the WoW Warlock’s other great weapon is fear itself – able to send even hardened veterans screaming from the horrors only he can control

The WoW Warlock

The WoW Warlock reaches into the dark places; their pursuit of power knows no bounds. Traditional magic users share an uneasy alliance with the WoW Warlock – many see them as the embodiment of evil at worst, and at best are simply selfish practitioners who care not a jot what dabbling in these dangerous forces could do.

A WoW Warlock has access to the fire magic – the WoW Warlock likes the fire and brimstone that heat provides – but he certainly does not use it for light. Fire is all about inflicting terrible burning pain upon the enemy, whether it be a spit of magical fire or a shield, it is a terrible weapon.

WoW Guide Summary to Shaman

WoW Guide To Summary: As noted earlier, the WoW Shaman is the second best at just about everything…and is highly sought after in the game. You can do far worse than roll a Shaman. They are fun to play and always in demand because of the buffs they bring.

WoW Guise To Shaman PvP:

The WoW Shaman is one of the most fun classes to play in World of Warcraft because of how much they can do in combat. From throwing down a dozen different totems to picking up a pair of swords with Windfury and slicing up an opponent or healing themselves back to full with a few well timed totems, a Shaman can do a bit of everything and they do it all with style. But, to be able to manage all of those totems and maintain a solid front in battle, players need to pick up a good Shaman PvP Guide.

Shaman Enhancement

ENHANCEMENT – The concentration here is on melee damage and is very handy for early levelling as the damage output is high and does not require mana use. At level 40 the addition of the dual wield skill with the windfury weapon bonus makes the Enhancement Shaman almost as deadly as a rogue or ret paladin when it comes to doing damage.

Shaman restoration

RESTORATION – This is the Healing Tree and allows the Shaman to concentrate their spell casting by reducing the mana cost and spell time of healing spells. They also offer totems to help the party recover mana and the wonderfully useful Chain Healing spell that is great if you have two or three melee dps in the group

Shaman Elemental

ELEMENTAL – This tree concentrates on the offensive spell casting ability through Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells. It offers reduced mana costs and time for spell casting and increases damage and critical hits.

Shaman Saus

The WoW Shaman can wear all but the heaviest armour, but to be honest, if they have to rely on their armour to keep them safe they are probably in a lot of trouble. The Shaman can make full use of weaker strength armour that carries better spell casting benefits in order to achieve higher levels of damage and healing. They are a versatile class that can wade into battle, restoring their allies while hurling elemental bolts of lightning at their enemies.

The WoW Shaman has three talent trees giving different aspects to the way you can enjoy the game.

Shaman info

The WoW Shaman utilises various combinations of totems, one from each of the four elements is available at any one time, which call upon the elements to assist their current task. These totems are learned as they level and added abilities present themselves over time.

While they do not master any of the aspects within the game, they do provide excellent support in any role and their ability to bring powerful buffs and totems to the group means that the WoW Shaman is always welcome on a raid or in a dungeon.

WoW Guide To Summary:

The WoW Rogue is a straight-up damage-dealing melee combatant, and one on one is the most deadly melee combatant in Azeroth. They are served well by herbalism, as many of their poisons start as far more humble plants found in the Azerothian wilds. If you’re interested in moving sideways, disappearing without trace, keeping one step ahead of your foes and generally dealing awesome damage, then the WoW Rogue is definitely for you!

WoW Guide To Rogue PvP:

The WoW Rogue is one of the most fun classes to play in World of Warcraft. Their plethora of abilities, lockpicking, stealthing, and poisons give them a multitude of ways to take on enemies that no one else is quite capable of pulling off. That said, they are also one of the most complex classes to play in the game for that exact reason. While they can rule in PvP , many players find themselves needing a good Rogue PvP Guide to help them through the process of mastering the Rogue’s many techniques and taking out nearly any opponent.

Rogue Craziness

Rogues also have a great disdain for locks, no matter which side of it they are on – indeed, being prevented from going wherever they wish to drives the average WoW Rogue absolutely crazy! To that end, they are masters at quickly picking even the most complicated locks.

Finally, rogues aren’t averse to using a wide variety of poisons with which to adorn their sharp blades, causing intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, violent convulsions and, finally, death.

Rogue Talents

Perhaps the most important is an almost mystical ability to vanish from sight. A good rogue could be standing within just a few feet of his foe and they are none the wiser as to his presence.

From this almost omnipotent position, he can strike without mercy, with a specialised club used to stagger a foe for almost a full minute in some cases.

Or, if he feels like it, he can take the opportunity for a crippling kidney shot or good old fashioned stab in the back, with their opponents already half dead before they have even registered they are under attack.

Keeping friends around is no protection either! Rogues are adept at distraction – a pebble shifting in another area, a whisper of motion off there somewhere, and he has split groups apart where they are easy pickings to his hide-and-seek style of combat.

While a WoW Rogue can deal awesome damage, subtlety is his art form and where murder is not tasteful, he has a number of other tricks up his sleeve. Quite able to pick a purse from a passing guard, he can make good living simply relieving unsuspecting saps of their gold

WoW Guide To Priest PvP

WoW Guide To Summary: Whether the WoW Priest takes on the role of healer or killer, the versatility of this class makes it an excellent choice to learn the best ways to tackle group activities, raids, and end-game bosses. The same versatility makes it one of the most popular additions to such groups. If you want to play in the end-game regularly, you can do a lot worse than have a quality priest in your party.

WoW Guide To Priest PvP:

There isn’t much that can be said about a Priest in PvP that isn’t true. They are both extremely versatile and often very weak depending on who is playing them and how they go about playing them. With a plethora of heals and a ton of mana, they can be a pain to kill but with minimal health and no armor, they are also fairly easy to kill if they are not smart enough to keep themselves alive. Their keys to success are in careful preparation and roundabout damage dealing, an essential reason that every WoW Priest should find a good Priest PvP Guide

Priests the forsaken

Some races, given their particular beliefs, have some interesting variation on the WoW Priest role. Horde Trolls can become Witch Doctors, with powerful voodoo magic derived from the essence of their mad gods. Night Elf Priestesses of the Moon channel the divine magic of the moon goddess Elune while providing not just magical protection but ranged bow and arrow attacks. And Forsaken Priests, having turned completely away from the philosophy of The Light, nonetheless use parts of it while ensuring they remain committed to the furtherance of Shadow Magic, believing now in the importance of death to balance life.

WoW Priests the raiser

Even getting to the stage where their physical forms become little more than an absence of light, an experienced Shadow Priest can use mind control, curses, and vast abilities to counter the magic or physical prowess of others in order to deliver devastating attacks.

WoW Priests, much like mages, give away physical protection for those afforded them through service to their chosen gods. Wearing only the most basic armour, they tend to surround themselves with followers of much tougher build, who they in turn pay with life, energy, and benefits of wisdom, clarity, rejuvenation and the removal of curses.

Priests are also one of the rare classes who have the ability to raise the newly fallen. Even if an opponent is able to down a member of the priest’s coterie, he is able to cheat death itself, raising and healing their allies in the space of a few seconds.

WoW Guide to Paladin PvP

WoW Guide To Summary: If the Shaman is the Jack of All Trades, then the WoW Paladin is probably the Master of them all. The abilities manifested by the Paladin make him an unstoppable tank, a fantastic healer and one of the most destructive forces in the game. The only downside is probably the amount of WoW Gold you need to spend to keep all the equipment at peak performance. The Pally is an expensive toon to maintain.

WoW Guide to Paladin PvP:

Have you looked at other Paladins in PvP combat and wondered if you could truly join their ranks and be nearly as good as them at what they do? A WoW Paladin can be a wonderful thing on a good team – a melee fighter with heals that can pretty much survive a nuclear winter. But, none of that does any good if your opponents know you better that you do yourself – which is why a good Paladin PvP Guide is vital to any newcomer to Paladin PvP.

WoW Paladin abilities

The WoW Paladin is equally comfortable as a healer, tank or damage provider and can be top of the tree in each. Their talent tree is split into:

PROTECTION: This is the tanking tree. As they level paladins gain an increased ability to tank enemies and are especially famous for their ability to tank multiple targets with rapid threat production utilising the AoE spell Consecration and the multi-target attack Hammer of the righteous to hold aggro. When added to the fantastic Ardent Defender talent, they are probably the best tanks in the game.

RETRIBUTION: damage personified. The added bonuses that the WoW Paladin can bring to the fight from the talent tree plus seals and auras mean that perhaps only the Rogue can do more damage over a short space of time.

HOLY: The WoW Paladin healing tree contains two spells that are among the best in the game for healing. HOLY LIGHT is the main healing spell and grows with the Paladin as they level.

BEACON OF LIGHT allows 60% of the healing cast onto a nearby player to also heal the Beacon of Light target. With both of these at maximum the Holy Paladin is considered to be about the best tank healer in the game.

WOW Guide To Mage PvP

WoW Guide To rating: The WoW Mage is excellent to play if you are new to the game, or enjoy a support role in a large group, as opposed to the more intense roles of healing or shielding the group from damage. Given it’s damage-dealing abilities, it is also an exceptional tradesperson, with strong abilities to quickly gather resources for other clan members, or PCs that you control.

WOW Guide To Mage PvP:

How many times have you thought to yourself that you would like to give the PvP options in World of Warcraft a real good shot? Have you wondered what you would encounter or just how good your opponents would be? It can be intimidating to consider what you might face if you were to set foot into an arena or battleground for the first time, but the truth of the matter is that all of those great players were once where you were and they all got better through practice and resources such as a good Mage PvP Guide.

Mages Targets

This WoW Guide would not be complete without recourse to the Mage’s other talents. WoW Mages are one of Azeroth’s most powerful Crowd Controllers with the exceptional “Sheep” spell, more officially called Polymorph.

This spell quite literally turns their target into one of a number of small, harmless mammals! Many targets run loose, helpless for far too long as the rest of their group is picked off by the experienced WoW Mage, only to find his wrath turned on them just as they – well, regain the use of their faculties.

Heat, Cold, Arcane - Mage

HEAT: Also known as Pyromancers, or Pyros for short, the heat-specialising WoW Mage gives away all pretense at subtlety for a fast-burning, highly effective ranged damage barrage that quickly, and quite literally, reduces the target to smouldering ruin. His primary weapons are Fireballs and Flame Bursts, ranged heat attacks that deliver to a single target. He also has access to a number of specialisations that cause burn damage over a prolonged period (known as Damage over Time, or DoT.)

RIGHT HERE!…The Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide

COLD: A frost mage gives away a little sheer damage dealing for improved survivability. A WoW Mage’s biggest weakness is his physical body, and the Frost Mage has a number of crafty ways, from Frostbolts to Frost Novas, that are designed to keep their targets in place and, more importantly, away from him!

ARCANE: A more esoteric and yet blunt application of power is the Arcanist. Using bolts of raw energy and manipulations of the wider ether, the World of Warcraft Arcanist gains a number of very powerful, sustainable attacks that quickly dispatches even a hardened warrior.

WoW Hunters Guide

In WoW, Hunters can train many pets and each pet can play a slightly different role in aiding their hunter. Some pets, like the Bear and Boar, can take a lot of damage, drawing the enemy away from the hunter and allowing them to use their ranged weapons to devastating effect. Other pets like the great cats and raptors rely on speed, teeth and sharp claws to rend and tear and snakes and scorpions can add poison to their arsenal…and there are many more options.

As we follow the WoW Guide To through the various classes, you will see that the WoW Hunter is probably the most versatile of the classes and always sought after in both raiding and levelling. The hunter and pet can move very quickly through the levels and is a welcome companion for most of the other classes.

As the game progresses, the WoW Hunter will develop cat-like speed, the vision of the hawk and the agility of the monkey in order to achieve their goals and will add to their arsenal traps and snares and the use of poisons to stun and incapacitate their foes.

WoW Guide To Summary: The WoW Hunter is fun to play and trying out different pets lends an added dimension to the game. They level very quickly and are sought after for groups and raids. If a stealthy ranged approach is your thing, the Hunter is for you.

WoW Guide To Hunter PvP:
For a new player in World of Warcraft, the prospect of jumping into PvP against players who have been playing there since 2004 is incredibly daunting. There are so many combinations, so many strategies, and so many ways you can make mistakes right away that it is downright intimidating to even consider throwing your hat in with your newly leveled WoW Hunter.

WoW Hunters

From the Horde, the Orcs prevail as Hunters and also prefer the bow. They learned their task from the trolls inhabiting the forests of Lordaeron. The mighty Tauren are natural hunters and can move silently, belying their size and strength.

As WoW Guide To explains, WOW Hunters also include mystic abilities to enhance the damage done by their weapons and require tuition in magic. Their spells focus on the elements and the land calling upon spirits to aid them and wind and fire to add power to their arm. A steady supply of MANA is required to keep the Hunter at their peak. As health is the source of strength and vitality, MANA is the source of magical power and needs to be replenished regularly

The WoW hunter maintains a deep connection between man and beast, and is not merely an individual who tracks animals to slay them for food. However one of the Hunter’s strongest attributes is their ability to capture and train animals to do their bidding. Starting with overcoming the animals will, they quickly grow a lifelong bond with their pets who become more friend than animal until the two develop an almost uncanny ability to sense the needs of the other. They will protect each other to the death.

The WoW Druid

WoW Guide To Summary: The WoW Druid is the most versatile of all the player classes. If you are new to Azeroth, you can’t go wrong by taking on a Druid, for you can be whoever you need to be, and can easily change roles as you need to. We also recommend Druids undertake the gathering professions: herbalism, mining and skinning. Their ability to move quickly through the realm gives them a great advantage.

WoW Guide To Druid PvP: In Player vs Player tournaments and events the WOW Druid is a very complex character. The many varieties that the Druid brings to the game mean that they approach PvP from different angles so a good PvP guide is essential. Further, because of their variety, the Druid is often one of the first targets selected by opponents. A good World of Warcraft Druid PvP Guide needs two things…the first is a detailed guide on how best to approach PvP in the many and various guises the Druid can assume and the second it to advise upon how the Druid can best interact with the other classes in their team. WoW Guide To is pleased to recommend one guide that we believe does this very effectively.

WoW Druid Guide

Bear – the ferocious bear, or later Dire Bear forms can stand toe-to-toe with even the staunchest warrior. With thick hides able to absorb tremendous damage, and a huge bulk to block the path to weaker comrades, their durability is almost second to none.

Cat – the wild black panther is a sleek killing machine, with claws, teeth and speed their trademark. Striking suddenly from shadow, the Druid’s Cat form is a killing machine, dealing tremendous and sustained damage to multiple foes.
CLICK HERE for the Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide

Moonkin – WoW Moonkin are an intriguing form with features most closely resembling a huge, flightless owl. The Moonkin can, itself, undertake many tasks, but is most famously used for a magical nature barrage dealing distance damage just like the most powerful WoW mages.

Tree of Life – The experienced WoW Druid can even turn themselves into a walking tree, with powerful healing and protection abilities that make it incredibly valuable in group situations. A druid who follows the Tree Totems will find themselves very popular with characters that need their protection and blessing when dealing with the more frightening monsters in Azeroth.

Travel Form – Ever able to be what they need to, this minor totem allows speedy travel throughout the realms. Why buy a horse when you can turn into a speedy cheetah?

Aquatic form – WOW Druids learn early in life that breathing water, to them, is just as easy as breathing air! This form, most resembling a giant seal, is the fastest of all the (normally) humanoid races in WoW, moving through water with amazing speed.

Flight and Swift-Flight form – The most experienced druids are able to take to the skies at will, soaring effortlessly on their own steam where all others must pay huge amounts for rideable mounts.

WoW Guide To Summary

The WoW Death Knight appears all powerful and, to some extent, they are. Their ability to wear the most powerful Plate Armour and wield all manner of weapons gives them huge range and scope. However timing is critical. The ability to know how and when to use their powers and abilities is crucial to their success. In the right hands they are deadly…in the wrong hands, be prepared to cop some abuse.

WoW Guide To additional comments: It appears that in the new Cataclysm expac the Blood Tree will be redesigned as specifically a tanking tree with a new addition known as Vengeance to ensure that the tanks ability to hold threat keeps up with the better gear the DPS classes will find as they level.

WoW Guide To Death Knight PvP:

The first question any good Death Knight needs to ask themselves is what type of role they want to play in raiding. There are so many options out there within just this one class that it can be confusing at times deciding how to play it. A good World of Warcraft Death Knight PvE Guide will show you how to perform all of the possible roles in a raid – including tanking, support and DPS. With that kind of knowledge in hand, it will be much easier to master the class when it comes time to play in a real raiding situation. Click below for one of our recommended guides.

WoW Death Knight 2

The WoW Death Knight also comes endowed with Runes of Power that allow all their abilities to manifest. Once a rune has been utilised, it takes time to recharge. This time is referred to as a cool down. However as the DK uses their Runes they generate another resource known as Runic Power. Some of the DK’s abilities require this Runic Power and once used it takes time to replenish, rather like the rage of a warrior.

RUNEFORGING is an ability that applies solely to Death Knights and allows the WoW Death Knight to imbue their weapons with powerful runes to aid the specialization that they have chosen. Only one Rune can be placed on a weapon at a time but they can be removed by over-writing them with another at a runeforge.

WoW Death Knight

The WoW Death Knight (or DK) can specialise as either a tank (designed to stand and receive damage, holding the target to them with massive threat, while the rest of the group slays the enemy) or as a destroyer (DPS) using disease and pain to slaughter their enemies.

The DK can build themselves into three areas of talents, known as trees:

BLOOD – Focusing on weapons, armour and strikes.
FROST – Focusing on control, counters and combinations
UNHOLY – Focusing on spells, summons and disease

For more Information visit The Ultimate World of Warcaft Guide

In addition these trees are augmented by PRESENCES;

BLOOD PRESENCE – increases damage output and returns health as a percentage of damage received.

FROST PRESENCE – increases threat and lowers damage taken

UNHOLY PRESENCE – increases attack speed and reduces global cool down on DK abilities.

WoW Classes

The Paladin – Soldier of the Light, protector of the innocent, pure in thought, word and deed, the WoW Paladin stands as a bastion against the darkness.

The Priest – Holy healer of the sick and injured the WoW Priest has a dark side that can cast evil Shadow magic at their enemies with fearful effect

The Rogue – Crafty, sneaky, able to disappear as if by magic, only to return when totally unexpected and unseen until you feel a knife slip between your ribs, the WoW Rogue combines guile and poison to be the deadliest killer in the land.

The Shaman – Controller of the elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water, the WoW Shaman uses totems of power to bring healing or death in equal measure to those most deserving.

The Warlock – Setting aside any pretence of light magic, the WoW Warlock casts Arcane spells of immense power bringing disease, pain and death…and cares not.

The Warrior – Strength and stamina are the friends of the mighty WoW Warrior as they stand tall in the midst of danger, death and destruction to protect their allies and torment their foes.

WoW Addicts Guide

In a llittle more detail:

INTERFACE OPTIONS – There are a number of options that you can change throughout the game, and if the author of the Guide things they are a good idea, who am I to argue. Little tidbits like “Instant quest Text” will really help things along. That one alone will make a huge difference to leveling speed

WoW ADD-ONS AND INTERFACE – There are a number of addons that can really help you with things like the Auction House, controlling what goes in your bags and being able to mark on your maps where to go next are all of great benefit. I notice the author really likes cosmosui.

SPEED TIPS – As you would expect given the topic of the WoW Addicts Guide, the pages are packed with tips on how to speed up play. Things like the strategic use of pets, how and when to eat and drink and when to quest or grind are all designed to speed you through.

GOLD – Everyones essential part of the game…getting gold. You will be directed to the author’s favourite area where you can grind up towards 300 gold per hour. If that doesn’t make you happy nothing will.

MEMBERS AREA – as an added bonus the Member’s Area will help keep you up to date with new developments and strategies as they appear

I can highly recommend the WoW Addicts Guide for fast and efficient leveling guaranteed to enhance your game enjoyment.

WoW Addicts Guide

Before delving solidly into this guide, I should tell you that the WoW Addicts Guide is designed SPECIFICALLY for those who pick the alliance as there target. If its the Horde you prefer, the Guide for you is probably Joana’s Horde leveling Guide although truly, The Ulimate World of Warcraft Guide edges them all for content if not speed.

Although there are five Alliance races (at least until the OWrgen become number 6) the WoW Addicts Guide is split into the four sections with Gnomes and Dwarves sharing quests given that they start in the same starting zone. All you need to do is follow the directions and keep moving. Given that the World Record was set with a warrior, arguably the slowest leveling class, your may even be able to beat the record using the Guide of the person that set it!!

The great thing is that it doesn’t matter which class you chose to play, the result is always fast leveling.

The WoW Addicts Guide will, however, give you more advice than just fast leveling. There is assistance on finding a good guild, making best use of the game interface to help your play, recommendation on add-ons (although these are always at the users risk) and if you follow directions well you will not only level fast but will be able to grind out 200 gold an hour in some areas as you do it. All in all, this is a very good package.

Zygor Guides

The author of the guide is John ‘Zygor’ Cook. He has been playing the game a VERY long time and has taught himself many tricks and secrets that are brought to you through this guide. John has levelled countless characters to 80 and consequently you can every confidence that the information that you are getting is current, valid and will work.

Zygor Guides is a step-by-step guide. Even as a newbie to World of Warcraft, you should be able to follow the direction arrow that appears on the screen. The map has tags on it to show you where your next target is and the IN-SCREEN information guide tells you what to do when you get there. You can alter some of the settings yourself to make the guide a little more suitable to your playing style.

Another BIG hing in the Zygor Guide is the assistance in building your talent tree. As you will see from other parts of WoW Guide To…each character has a number of different ways that they can grow. Zygor Guide has built in talent help so that you build your character the best way to suit what you want to be. Healing may be your thing, ranged attack or magic caster, and of course you may wish to do ultimate damage in melee fighting or specialse as a tank keeping others safe from harm. This Guide will keep you on the straight and narrow.

Follow the directions and stick at it. I have heard it said that you can level to 80 and have 5000 gold in under a week. I cannot claim to have followed Zygor Guides that far, but the initial look I have had at it certainly suggests to me that it could well be possible.

Flipping

Flipping is finding items at the Auction House that are priced below market value and turning them around for a profit. This works well, but set aside time for it. Then you play while things sell.

You will need to have some marketing and selling skills to make this work.
Firstly, note which items are sought after and which not. Laws of Supply and Demand will dictate what you can sell something for. Focus on rare and needed items.
Consistently scanning the Auction House is required. There are add-on programs that can assist you.

If you have lots of a rare item, don’t throw it all onto the Auction House at once. Trickle it in to ensure that prices remain high.

There are rules to doing this. Lots of people are trying the same thing. If you try to undercut the market all the time they will not like you. If one of the big players gets angry with you, they will use their resources to follow you around the Auction House and undercut everything you do until you go broke. Remain competitive…it’s safer that way.

Grinding, Farming, Professions Guide

Grinding
Grinding for WoW gold is probably the easiest way to get lots in a short time. It is however incredibly boring.
There are a few excellent locations for this and the WoW Gold Guide will show you where they are. Most of your opportunities for earning high amounts of WoW gold are going to be at higher levels. However, you can turn a profit by grinding almost anywhere.
Once you get past level 50 the opportunities really open up. Winterspring one area where can earn 50 gold per hour.
As you get more experience and get past Level 80, the Mossflayer Zombie in the Eastern Plaguelands should be an easy target.
Farming
This has become prevalent since the introduction of honour points. Get a group together and attack an enemy village. Killing all the guards will get you loot and will draw enemy players. Killing them will give you honour points that you can trade in for items to sell.
It isn’t fool proof…you may keep dying which means someone else is getting the honour, but it does work.
Professions
The WoW Gold Guide will show you how working on your professions is good. However the economy within WoW is a bit strange.
More often than not the materials (known as MATS) that you use to make a finished product will sell individually for more money than you can get for the finished product.
Most people just use what they have to get their professions up and then sell the rest

Here is a summary of what you will get with the Ultimate WoW Guide

Thursday, June 3, 2010

WoW Guide

On some servers you will be allowed to select players from either faction, but on other servers this is not possible. Your players progress through the game by undertaking quests and tasks which award experience points, gold and other equipment rewards to help increase your abilities and strengths. Throughout the game you will interact with computerized characters referred to as NPC’s and other human “Avatars”. From a lowly level 1, you can reach the heights of level 80 and all you need is the correct Wow Guide to get you there quickly.

In your travels you may select from a number of professions and specialties that will assist you in gaining experience and gold and, if you pick the right ones, can greatly benefit your character at higher levels. For example a Mage can only wear cloth, so a Mage/Tailor can make clothing for himself rather than having to buy it from someone else, or find it in his travels.

The various professions available are:Alchemy; Blacksmithing; Cooking; Enchanting; Engineering; First Aid; Fishing; Herbalism; Inscription; Jewelcrafting; Leather Working; Mining; Skinning; Tailoring.

Several of these professions link, for example an alchemist requires herbs to make his potions, so therefore alchemy and herbalism make a good team.

Finally your character will be asked to take on a certain class and these clsses all require different skills, abilities – either physical or magical – and come with restrictions. These classes are:

Death Knight; Druid; Hunter; Mage; Paladin; Priest; Rogue; Shaman; Warlock and Warrior.
And that’s only the beginning…. If you are new to the game, this is all really confusing so wouldn’t it be nice if there was a WoW Guide to take you through the whole process and help you along the way.

WoW Guide

Historically Blizzard Entertainment announced the fourth released game in the Warcraft Universe on September 2nd 2001. The game was released on November 23rd 2004, which coincided with the 10th anniversary of the World of Warcraft franchise. Amongst those who play the game, The World of Warcraft is abbreviated to WoW and we will use that abbreviation throughout these pages.

WoW is a massively multiplayer on line role-playing game (MMORPG). By December 2008 WoW boasted over 11.5 million monthly subscriptions and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG by subscribers.

The game has expanded on two occasions, the Burning Crusade in 2007 and the Wrath Of The Lich King in November 2008. A third expansion, Cataclysm was announced in 2009, but a final date for the release has yet to be set. So as you can imagine a professional WoW Guide could come in really handy.

When you first enter WoW you will be asked to select a server. Each server is named as a realm and this will be the world in which you play WoW. The realms are split into different styles of play, some of which emphasize a “Player Vs Player” (PvP) approach and others which concentrate more on a roll playing environment. You can select from two opposing factions The Horde and The Alliance, both of whom offer a range of characters with differing traits and abilities and our WoW Guide will help you with your choice of characters.
These are:

The Horde: Blood Elves; Orcs; Trolls; Tauren; Undead

The Alliance: Draenei; Dwarves; Gnomes; Humans; Night Elves

WoW Undead

The WoW Undead were trapped under the tyrannical rule of the Lich King. After many failed attempts to break free of his clutches, the banshee queen Lady Sylvanus Windrunner managed to lead a large group of Undead away from the Lich King’s control.

Seeking a home, these renegades found sanctuary in the ruins of Lordaeron, former capital of the humans and have formed the thriving Undercity where evil grows in the caverns and cellars below the old city. Growing in strength and stature these dark creatures renamed themselves The Forsaken and have pledged to bring death and damnation to all those that oppose them. They have also resolved never again to be dominated by the will of the Lich King.

Now, deep within the bowels of the old fortress, royal apothecaries strive to invent a new plague to devastate and destroy, not only their old enemy The Scourge, but ALL of humanity along with them.

In a move showing great cunning and determination, the Forsaken have pledged their loyalty to The Horde but this is deceitful. They hold no loyalty to any other than themselves and, all unknowing, The Horde have agreed to join them in their fight against their common enemy, The Lich King.

WoW Trolls

As the Gurubashi Empire fell apart, the tribes returned to rivalry between themselves and the Dark Spear Trolls found themselves driven from their Stranglethorn Vale homes. They settled in the Broken Isles and soon found themselves in conflict with a band of Murlochs.
The Trolls were saved from destruction by the intervention of the Horde Chief Thrall and his warriors, who saved the Dark Spear tribe from extinction at the Murlochs hands.

The Darkspear Trolls, led by the cunning Shadow Hunter Vol’jin swore allegiance to The Horde and now fight beside them lending The Horde their dark magic and highly skilled fighting techniques.

Trolls are barbaric, superstitious and extremely vicious. They are renowned for their cruel natures. The WoW Trolls of the South Sea Islands are a solitary group who usually kill foreigners on sight.

Interestingly, although the WoW Trolls have welcomed a relationship with the Tauren, they are highly distrustful of the Forsaken and are probably the only race to truly doubt the Forsaken’s loyalty to The Horde

WoW Tauren

The WoW Tauren appear little more than huge beasts to those that first encounter them, but they could not be more wrong. For counless generations they have hunted the mighty Kodos across the plains of the Barrens seeking the wisdom of their eternal Goddess the Earth Mother. Although they are scattered across the land in nomadic tribes, they will unite against their one sworn enemy the marauding Centaur.

Seeking aid against the Centaur, the Tauren Chieftan Cairnebloodhoof met and befriended war chief Thrall who, along with the other Orcs, had recently arrived in Kalimdor. With the help of the Orcs, the Tauren were able to reclaim their grasslands and for the first time in a millenia, they had a land to call their own.

Their bestial exterior hides an immense intelligence and cunning that makes them a formidable foe. They live very close with Nature and endlessly strive to maintain the balance between the wild things that inhabit their lands and the restless spirit of the elements. This makes them a peaceful and quiet tribal society…until roused.

WoW Orcs

The WoW Orcs were originally brought to the Kingdoms of Stormwind through the inter-dimensional gateway known as the Dark Portal. They are a savage people originally from the hellish world of Draenor and were once a proud and noble people, the WoW Orcs fell under the sway of the Burning Legion who corrupted them and then forced them to fight against human kind.
Without the magnificent efforts of a young war chief named Thrall, the Orc rebellion against the Burning Crusade would not have succeeded and it is quite possible that, without their efforts against their former masters, the invasion of the Burning Crusade could not have been beaten back.
Now from their capital in Orgrimmar, the WoW Orcs of The Horde fight to maintain their place in their newly adopted world and command respect from their friends and enemies alike

WoW Gnomes

It has been said many times before that the dividing line between madness and genius is a very fine one indeed, and nowhere is this better represented than in the world of the WoW Gnomes.

Their almost obsessive desire to invent strange and wonderful machines has led them to develop radical technologies to bring into existence incredible machines for every purpose imaginable.
From their home in Gnomeregan, the WoW Gnomes shared a peaceful co-existence with their dwarven allies. They were not only inventors of great skill, but often conceived ideas for magical and mechanical devices borne of an almost insane genius. Whilst the Dwarves are renowned for their inventions, it is often forgotten that the Gnomes were often the originators of, and driving force behind, the progress made by the Dwarves.

During the second war the WoW Gnomes continued to supply technical aid and supplies to the alliance but it was not until the war ended that the lack of personnel supplied was explained. The city of Gnomeregan had been invaded by an ancient and barbaric foe and, although they won the battle, the city of Gnomeregan was lost.

WoW Dwarves

Beneath the snow-covered peaks of Khaz Modan lies the city of Ironforge, home to the enigmatic and irascible WoW Dwarves. Secure in their impregnable fortress, the WoW Dwarves have spent countless generations mining the treasures found deep within the earth and have rarely ventured beyond their wintery peaks.

Staunch allies of the Humans of Stormwind they prove to be a resiliant and brilliant addition to the alliance forces, proving to be the backbone of victory after victory against the invading Orcs.

The Dwarves love battle, drinking and storytelling…not necessarily in that order. Although they are reclusive by nature and rarely leave their homes, they brought their keen axes and tenacious fighting abilities to aid the rest of humanity when the battle-call sounded.

The WoW Dwarves have recently come to believe that they were created by the Titans, carved from sheer rock and given life. Their main aim in life now is to seek out more signs of their heritage and to understand from whence they came.

WoW Draenei

Once upon a time there was a brilliant and magically gifted race called the Eredar. To them came Sargeras the destroyer of Worlds, he offered their leaders untold power in exchange for their unquestioning loyalty. One of the three leaders Velen was gifted with a vision which saw his people demonically transformed, growing to immense size and slaughtering all who opposed them, while the other two leaders accepted the offer from Sargeras.

Velen prayed for help and his prayers were answered by one of the benevolent Naaru, who offered to shepherd Velen and other believers to a refuge, renaming his people the Exiled Ones, or in his language Draenei.

The lost survivors from the ravaged Outland, the WoW Draenei fled their homes seeking the source of fabulous tales of an alliance that had stood against the Burning Legion and prevailed.
Recently the remaining Draenei survivors under the guidance of Velen took control of one of Tempest Keep’s Satellite Structure and used it escape to Azeroth.

Piloting their great ship, The Exodar, they flew to the skies to seek aid in retaking their own shattered homeland, but a terrible explosion ripped through their ship sending it plummeting to the ground in northern Kalimdor.

WoW Blood Elves

Unknown, unrecognised and protected by a magical barrier, the High Elves developed a rich and magical kingdom within the depths of the forests around Lordaeron. For seven millennia they prospered and thrived, but their peace was about to be shattered. An immense army of Amani Trolls assaulted the High Elves kingdom.

Vastly outnumbered, the Elves sought a hasty alliance with the Humans of Arathor. With the aid of the Humans, the High Elves destroyed the Trolls and in return the Elves taught a small number of Humans how to weild their magic.

The Elves returned to their seclusion, but all of this ended when the Undead Scourge invaded Quel’Thalas slaughtering the Elves almost to extinction. Under the command of the evil Death Knight Arthas, the Scourge destroyed the Sunwell, severing the Elves from the source of their mystical arcane power. They returned as the WoW Blood Elves

WoW Race Guide

Many different peoples reside within the boundaries of The World of Warcraft, WoW Race Guide lists them for you as follows:

The Blood Elves – Once the High Elves gaining power form nature and their vaunted Sunwell, are now reduced to seeking the power of the blood crystal to regain their former prowess

The Draenei – Refugees from a far flung land, they crashed upon the surface of Azeroth and now seek to stand with humankind hoping for retun aid in their fight against the Burning Crusade

The Dwarves – Small in stature but big in heart and fighting prowess, the Dwarves have left their mountian homes to fight the evil of the Lich King

The Gnomes – Small but vicious in a fight, the insanely genious Gnomes build weapons and engineer devices to aid in the fight against evil.

The Humans – Masters of diplomacy they have lost much but now stand ready to face the threat that seeks to overcome them.

WoW Tailoring Guide

As you travel around the World of Warcraft, you will come across all kinds of cloth. Linen, Wool, Silk and more exotic cloth will become available to you as loot from kills and other random sources.

As you will note from the other areas within the WoW Tailoring Guide, WoW professions are normally split into a gatherer/crafter relationship pattern but with the tailor this is not the case.

The materials, or MATS as they are referred to in the game, are more or less lying around. So given this, what is the best pairing for a tailor? Probably the best answer is Enchanting.

In WoW Guide To the various classes playing the game, you will probably see that Mages, Priests and Warlocks, the spell casters, can only wear cloth as other materials interfere with their spell casting.

A quick read through the Enchanting Guide will tell you that the enchanter can weave special enchantments into all kinds of clothing and armour but truly their best enchantments relate to the use of magic.

WoW Skinning Guide

Basically skinning is the simplest of the professions that you can undertake in WoW.
WoW Skinning Guide advises that you need to find a trainer to get started, buy a skinning knife and head off to kill animals for their skins.

Most of the professions in WoW are split into two main categories. These are crafting and gathering. Consequently, many of the skills pair up really well and such is the case with Skinning and Leatherworking.

As with the other gathering professions, whilst they are easy to do, your bags will fill up really fast with bits and pieces of leather.

WoW Mining Guide

Mining is an adjunct to Engineering, Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing, however you do not need those professions to be a miner although you can mine to gather materials for them.

WoW Mining Guide advises that a lot of people just travel the world gathering resources and reselling them.

Firstly you must find a trainer who can be found by asking a guard in a city where one can be found. Once you have been trained your major objective is to locate mineral veins. This can be done by opening your abilities book (hit”p”) and select “Find Minerals” icon. Shift, Click and drag that icon to one of the rows of your action bar.

When you want to find minerals, click on the “Find Minerals” icon. A small map will show you the approximate location of veins. You will have to seek them out and they are often found near quest locations, inside mines and near mountain terrain.

If your map shows a grey mining node it means you are probably over a vein or it is in a nearby cave. Wow Guide To recommends that you have the “Find Minerals” icon active most times so you will know when you are near minerals.

WoW Leatherworking Guide

In the WoW Universe many of the professions are linked into a gatherer/crafting relationship.
WoW Leatherworking Guide advises that Leatherworking goes well with skinning, which provides the leather for making goods. Mining links well with Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting and Engineering. Herbalism is the gathering process for alchemy and Inscription and tailoring and Enchanting also pair up very well together.

In WoW Leatherworking you will be able to craft leather and mail armour out of the skins and hide of wild beasts. The WoW Leatherworking Guide tells us that some classes can either only wear leather armour or need to train to wear heavier duty metal. So a good leatherworker is always wanted.

You can also create armour kits of various levels that help to bolster the protection of other pieces of armour made from all kinds of materials and this again is a source of income and a way to help the levelling process.

Leatherworkers can also create miscellaneous items, such as the highly sought after Riding Crop which will, increase the riding speed of your mount.

WoW Jewelcrafting Guide

In WoW Jewelcrafters learn the art of creating beautiful jewellery and trinkets from metals and rare gems, but their inbuilt artistry allows them to imbue these gems and trinkets with additional powers to benefit the purchaser in many different ways.

WoW Jewelcrafting Guide points out that Jewelcrafting goes hand in hand with the mining skill as miners often pick up jewels from their digging. Jewels can then be added to armour and weapons to enhance the powers of those items and benefit the wearer.

As the game has developed, WoW players have been able to benefit from this process which is called ‘socketing’.

WoW Inscription Guide

WoW Inscription Guide advises that this profession is only available with patch 3.02 “Echoes of Doom”.

To become a scribe you must, of course, get training. You can ask a guard in any of the main cities where to find a trainer. Scribes should visit their trainers often to hone their skills in inscribing, which can be taught and updated regularly.

One of the first purchases a scribe will make is a Virtuoso Inking Set from an inscription vendor. Obtaining this set is essential and you will not be able to train without it.

Once trained you can enhance a rogue’s backstab ability, deal more damage to stunned targets or allow a priest’s circle of heal to heal one more target.

WoW Herbalism Guide

In the World of Warcraft the many professions quite often go hand in hand. Enchanting and Tailoring are a good combination, Leatherworking and Skinning provide a good team, and Mining pairs up well with Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting or Engineering. Wow Herbalism Guide points out that the main reason for this is that one supplies ingredients that the other one needs. In WoW these ingredients are called Mats!

With this in mind, Herbalism is almost an essential pairing for Alchemy or inscription. It helps you find the herbs you will need for both.

What is an alchemist? The WOWWIKI definition of an alchemist states, in part, “…achieving ultimate wisdom involving the improvement of the alchemist as well as the making of several substances described as possessing unusual properties”.

WoW Fishing Guide

As always, with any profession you will need a trainer to start. WoW Fishing Guide advises that most people will help direct you toward an NPC (computer generated player) who can often be found around a lake or body of water.

Once you have learned how to fish, the first thing you will need is a fishing pole. Also you will need lures, bait and of course the necessary fishing attire. Poles are available from trade merchants, or you could check out the auction house. There are eleven poles available which become attainable as your skill increases. WoW Fishing Guide recommends you get further information to obtain a list of these poles.

To obtain bait you can go to a trade merchant. The higher your skill rating, the better bait you can buy however your bait will only last so long, so ensure you reapply it regularly.

WoW First Aid Guide

If you enjoy the prospect of saving lives, curing poison and healing wounds then WoW First Aid Guide suggests you become a Physician (Trust me I’m a Doctor). The beauty of this skill is that any of the professions can become one, with no penalty, as an adjunct to their main professions.
Like all Professions you will need training. As usual you can go to a guard in a city who will direct you to the nearest training spot. Alliance and Horde players need to go to different trainers WoW Guide To suggests you obtain further information to ascertain where you need to go to get this training.
One of the major tasks is to create various bandages that you can use on players as required. Only if you have the necessary training can you apply a bandage to a player
