I saw my friend there out on the field today, I asked him where he's going, he said "All the way."
My memory is very hazy but Elemental Shaman (Windfury) is sorta viable for vanilla right? On retail I played Undead Rogue for vanilla and cant remember much about Shamans.

I dont even know if its worth me trying to level since the main thing I do remember about vanilla is it was brutal and took fairly casual players months.

Enhancement Shaman, which use melee weapons with Windfury, is pretty good at PvP by my recollection, since Windfury has a bunch of burst, and they're taken as token buffers in PvE.

Elemental Shaman I think are pretty bad at this version.

Ah yeah you are right, Im getting my e's mixed up. I do recall having one in the melee group for raids to boost the rogues etc. Overall not the best out and out at anything, but sometimes useful I suppose. Thanks for answering.

Edit: The OP could use some more info or an update perhaps? Are many Goons playing this and which side is more active, Horde or Alliance?

However, the problem of money and bags and stuff is constant, it feels so difficult to make money on this server, what with the price of stuff you can gather at lower levels (like Light Leather, Copper Ore, low level herbs etc.) being pushed to borderline pointless levels due to such huge supply.

I kinda get the feeling that vanilla WoW servers never had this many players and there being a reason for it, I'm finding it quite difficult to play ... any tips?

On the money side of things, when I was playing on Nos I made it to level 29 or 31 with my rogue, and made about 14 gold net, with like 30 gold in materials/gear to liquidate. Before, I was struggling to afford class skills and gear upgrades from the AH, but by leveling up past 20, it gets easier to accumulate wealth from mob grinding and selling greys, and I was also mining and smelting to bronze, because there was a market for it at the time.

But the most lucrative thing I did was search up the chest spawn locations in Silverpine Forest and checked them in a circuit, until I had the respawn timers for all of them to myself, and checking each every 2 hours. Usually you could get at least 4 or 5 chests in one circuit, and then camp one or two locations in the mean time. It gets time consuming though, as I remember many late nights of "just one more circuit" after spending 6 hours getting everything on lock-down. As an enchanter, I could D/E the crap greens, vendor the crap 2handers/shields etc. and sell the great stuff at below market price, which was usually 50silver, or around 1gold for truly useful items.

If the profession market is saturated from overpopulation, I can almost guarantee that the useful low level gear is sparse or overpriced.

These were the two pages I memorized. http://db.vanillagaming.org/?object=106319 , http://db.vanillagaming.org/?object=2849 The more valuable chests are the latter four. (there are two chests at thule's keep. one in the main floor north west room, and one in the stairs leading to the roof.)

Man, I had forgotten about the Defias Traitor quest. gently caress that guy so hard. Did a loop of all of Moonwhatever the gently caress as he ran into EVERY random fight just to reset his slow rear end walk path to the beginning. After 7 years, I had forgotten.

Had a nice discussion with Westfall chat though. Next quest is to kill Van Cleef, the quest text has Poopbutt Stoutmane say quote "I hate to condemn any man to a death sentance...". Motherfucker you just asked me to kill 55 dudes prior to this. Dont lie to me, you love this poo poo.

Is it just me or is this server's weapon skill mechanics different? I'm leveling Two-Handed Maces from nothing and it feels like I'm hitting way more than I should. Like I can actually kill a green mob without missing 3/4ths of the time.

If you're asking if Herbalism is worth picking up to make money, it depends. Competition for herbs during EU and early evening NA hours is very high given the server population, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you can play during late NA hours. Higher competition means higher prices though, so Mountain Silversage for example is up to 17g a stack.

If you're asking about just Alchemy, it's actually a really nice time to be an alchemist. There's an endless demand for Arcanite transmutes right now as people can finally craft Lionheart Helms. This will only go up when the plans for Titanic Leggings start dropping in a month and every warrior will need an additional 12 bars for those. Guilds will also start stockpiling the 100 arcanite bars required for Thunderfury as Bindings start dropping with BWL's release. It's a good profession if you like logging in to collect free money.

The rise of internet libertarianism and neoconservatism has made certain instances of Trade and General significantly more unpalatable than I ever remembered it to be on Retail.

My Warrior just hit level 28 and I'm still enjoying myself, although I can already see that I'm soon not going to be able to train every new rank/skill as soon as I get it for lack of gold.

Warlock is tricky because you are kinda trained to use your voidwalker as a tank; then they pull the rug out from under you and succubus can't do anything but dmg and maybe seduce an add. For my young retail mind the solution was chain-fearing mobs which is dangerous because adds, and who wants to do that from lvl 25-60?
The real answer is to re-spec into drain life tanking but it took me till lvl 35 before I figured that out.


Tempted to get in on this but I'm not sure I have the will to do another 1-60.
