NEON MERCURY's ++ ps360ii Lite ++ thread -weaning you off WoW since 07

[Raikus]

I'm mostly playing my Rogue, because he's so much easier than the priest. But now I'm into some of the tougher quests in Loch Modan, and it's... tough. My problem is trying to pull one or two at a time... otherwise I'm toast. (Anyone know a way around this?) And in some quests, that's pretty much impossible unless you have a group. And getting a group together can be difficult on Sargeras, because it's a relatively low-population server. (Stuff is generally worth more in auctions, though.)

There are 2 ways for a rogue to pull, one is ranged weapon (use throw until you get to Lakeshire and complete the quest to get the Dwarven Fishing Rod and then start using your gun skills) and the other is Sap. Use your ranged when the enemies are in a chain (like they are around the excavation site or the Kobold near the damn) and use your sap when the enemies are standing side by side. Sap one, kill the other, back off and bandage, go for the sapped mob.

You can solo most of the Loch quests with the exception of the Kobold mine and the Loch Islands. You WILL have to wait until you're a higher level to finish some of the other quests (Dark Dwarves Sabotage and the Elite Ogres in the east). I think I closed out the Loch quests when I was 20.

(use throw until you get to Lakeshire and complete the quest to get the Dwarven Fishing Rod and then start using your gun skills)

I can't find information anywhere on the Dwarven Fishing Rod. And don't the higher level throwing axes do more damage than guns anyway? I'm pulling right now with throwing axes, but I often get two at a time. I'll definitely try the sap strategy.

I'm going to try killing Vagash (rested) a few times to level. Would it be worth it to travel to Darkshore to pick up some quests there?

[Raikus]

The Dwarven Fishing Pole (sorry, not rod) is a gun you get in Lakeshire after completing a certain quest. Normally, throw is fine, but an increased ability with guns is a racial feature with Dwarves. It out damages the throw most of the time and can really do some damage if you get the higher weapons.

Stay in the Loch area or go to Stormwind and complete some of the quests there and in Westfall. Darkshore is pretty hairy for someone of your level. You'll get ganked tons of times by Horde players and it won't be fun. You really won't be able to kill anything either. Wait until you complete the Loch, Westfall and Lakeshire (in this order) quests before you move on to that. Run Deadmines in Westfall when you get around 20. You should be able to get some really great stuff that you'll use until 25.

On the pulling issue, you really shouldn't have a problem if the enemies are spaced out. Wait for them to get farthest from the next mob and then hit them with a ranged. Make sure your back if free and then just backtrack as they're running towards you. If they are coupled then use Sap to full effect.

Anyone who uses the phrase "I tip my cap to...", and not ironically, needs to get out more.

I hit 40 and got my mount yesterday. It's nice.

I've promised myself never to grind unrested ever again. I did that from 32-40. I'm playing my alts when my rogue is unrested. 20 Gnome Mage and 18 Night Elf Priest:



I like playing the priest a whole lot more than I thought I would. Healing is pretty satisfying, and I plan to use a full healer build. The mage is fun, of course, and I'm leaning toward a Frost PVP build. My beloved rogue basically depends on criticals and backstabbing. (I'm a fan of Cold Blood and Improved Backstab).

[Jeremy Blackman]

I put together a little guide (mostly so I wouldn't forget my mistakes) for getting to 40:

1-5
quest home area
6-11
quest Dun Morogh and/or Elwynn Forest
12-14
quest Westfall
15-16
Harvest Watchers in Westfall (Alexston Farmstead)
17-18
Redridge Poachers in Redridge
19-21
Deadmines
quest Redridge
22-29
Stockade
quest Wetlands
Raptors in Wetlands (Excavation Site)
30-33
Yetis in Hillsbrad cave (Darrow Hill)
Gnomeregan
34-35
Yetis in Alterac
Syndicate & Mountain Lions in Alterac
36-39
Crushridge Ogres in Alterac
Scarlet Monastery

Places I try to stay out of (after learning the hard way) include Loch Modan, Darkshore, Ashenvale, and Stranglethorn Vale. Westfall Harvest Watchers and Hillsbrad Yetis were probably my favorite grinds. And the Stockade was the fastest/easiest instance grinding by far.
