Don't be ferral druid, you'll either have to change your abilities or be prepared to never get to do instances or partys. Druids are healing characters simple as.

 

You get 8 per real

 

There are 100's of realms but you only play 1 normaly

[cjlhdevil]

Oh and a lot of the answers you're looking for won't be found here, they are either way too big questions with no exact answers or they are needed to be found out by yourself.

[bjbj1991]

bump ...

 

how many characters can i have on a single account on the 15 dollars US a month?

 

1 guy sez 8, others say 50

 

 

 

which is it?

 

 

 

Acording to wikipedia, 10 people per sever, 50 acounts total.

 

 

 

 

 

I have been looking at pictures/movies of WoW, does the time of the day change in game or by area? Also if it is in game is it a gradual change from light to dark?

The above is rather ignorant "raider heresay" BS. My druid (fully feral, 14/31/5) is in a BWL raiding guild, as is my warrior (31/20/0, no protection!). People claim that spec actually matters, but it doesn't, ESPECIALLY FOR A DRUID after Patch 1.11. They get Innervate (only reason to roll into Restoration) as a trainable skill, not a talent. Your talent are there to, at best, improve your performance slightly in a given role. They are not required by any guilds except Uber-guilds (you'll never be in one, and if you were, you'd quit because of the sheer hours they put in raiding) and people who want to be an uber-guild, but fail because forcing spec = angry members = they quit.

 

 

 

I am well known on my server for quitting the best guild on the server merely because they would not allow me to spec freely. In my attempt to prove them wrong, I main-tanked all of BWL one night without *ANY* talent points (thus making me known as that crazy guy who did it just to make people shut up about specs) and /gquit after the raid, making it well-known that I would not be a spec-monkey for their likings.

 

 

 

Sadly, some talent points have become very useful, so guild leaders try to force people to spec into them. Innervate was one of them, but Blizzard made it a core ability because a druid's role IS NOT just a healer. They are a hybrid and can do more jobs than ANY class in the game. My druid has tanked everything in Molten Core (Except Magmadar, due to Fearing, and I'm horde so we don't have Fear ward, lol) and most of the stuff in BWL...I haven't tanked Vael or Nefarian, and probably never will, due to the fact on Vael I cannot keep aggro Vs. warriors executing, and Nefarian fears. Druid's are the most powerful class in the game when you play them right, and "Restoration" isn't playing them "right". lol. I do primarily heal in raids, but druid's are more gear-based than talent-based for healing. I can heal with the best of 'em in my guild.

 

 

 

Ahem, anyways...

 

 

 

As I said, you get one account. Cost = $15. On that account, you can play on any server in your area (USA, China, where ever you live) and can have 8 characters per server. Primarily you only play on one server (of course) but you can play on any one you choose, you just make a character on it and play. I'm not aware of some "50 character limit" however. My girlfriend plays and makes characters all the time just because she likes to create characters, and I'd say her account has over 50, but I've never counted. Even so, would you really NEED 50 characters? :P I only have like 3. You can play anywhere/anything/whatever character for only $15, yes.

 

 

 

Yes, there is a gradual change from night to day. As the game clock gets closer to night time, it gets darker. The time depends on your server, like my server is an hour behind my time here in Minnesota, so it usually gets darker in-game an hour or so before it does here. :P Also, since patch 1.10 (few months ago) there are also weather effects like rain, snow, dust storms, etc. The rain in Un'goro crater, Stanglethorn Vale, etc is really good and looks very real. Mist, steam, visability drops a bit, it's quite cool.

 

 

 

Feral druid attributes are as follows, in order of importance while leveling: Strength, stamina/agility, intellect. You won;t need much intellect (my feral gear has NONE) because you don't need to heal much.

 

 

 

Tauren Shaman's are good, yea, because of Warstomp, which is a 2 second stun, enough time to get a heal off in some cases. Their attributes vary depending on spec. I've never played the class seriously, but I know that Intellect, Stamina, Strength are all important. Spirit is good for mana regen later in the game (instancing and stuff), they can make use of ALL the attributes in the game, as is the same case for a druid.

 

 

 

Yes, you can also delete characters.

[donutjunkie]

cjlhdevil dont double post in 2 minutes

 

so my feral attributes are as follows in importance

 

1.Strength

 

2. stamina/agility

 

3. intellect

 

 

 

so say i have like 120 points

 

40 points go to strength, 30 points go to stamina, 30 points go to agility and 20 points go to intellect?

 

 

 

also i would like to more about this "in the mail" thing, from what people tell me its sort of like drop trading in runescape sept it's allowed.

 

 

 

say i have all 9 classes which proffessions should i have on each.

 

comparing what i mean to runescape:

 

1 character mines runite and coal

 

1 characters smiths it into a rune med

 

1 character high alchs it

 

or:

 

1 character kills a dragon for it's hide

 

1 character tans the hide into range armour

 

1 character wears it because the character is a ranger

 

how could i use "in the mail" to my advantage?

 

 

 

also can my characters, horde and alliance all send each other mail, or is it like the chat system horde cant speak to alliance or send them mail?

 

 

 

my friends are on pvp servers, i originally wanted all my characters on pve servers (i guess after playing runescape so long and having bad experiences in the wildy influenced this)

 

So: if im on a pve server can i talk to him?

 

if i do go on a pvp server can i have my alliance and horde on the server or will i have to have alliance on 1 pvp server, and my horde on another pvp server or my horde on a pve server???

 

 

 

how much does playing on a pvp server to playing on a pve server influence your gameplay?

 

will i constantly be getting pwned by gangs of lvl 60 horde members?

 

 

 

also, what is more popular horde or alliance, i thought it would be horde (who can resist the tauren?) but wikipedia corrected me but my friend says that the horde get everything easier so they are more popular.

 

 

 

if there is a lot more alliance then horde and many alliance members go around slaughtering horde for fun, i will probably have to play on a pve server

 

 

 

ill edit this into my original post

Point are not "distributed" that way.Except for certain talents that increases a stat pÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¥ by a %, you will get gear that adds those stats. The list provided is what priority you should give each stat when choosing what gear to go with.

 

 

 

Visiting a mailbox allows you to send mails to people, include your alternate characters. This way, you can spread your stuff over a wider bank selection.

 

 

 

Using professions (i.e. tradeskills) over multiple characters is, in all honesty, a right pain in the rear. I'm not sure if they have the cap anymore, but you may have to hit lvl 30 to be able to max one out. Few people will want to grind a second characterthat far just for his professions.

 

 

 

Your choice of professions should also take your class into account; Mining/Engineering is excellent for PvP no matter what class you are, Herbalism/Alchemy is mostly for casters, Mining/Blacksmithing is for people with heavier armours and Mining/Skinning (Herbalism/Skinning) is for making money selling materials. There's a few more recommended combinations as well but they the logic behind them is a bit more game-versed. My advice is to always start out as Mining/Skinning (Herbalism/Skinning). You can then replace one, or both of them, with a crafting profession which you can easily level if you've saved all the materials. (For example, if you want to have alchemy, you start out as herbalism/Skinning, and keep all the flowers you get and sell all the skin you get. Then, once you feel you need alchemy, you get rid of skinning and use all the flowers you have to boost your alchemy)

 

 

 

There's no cross-server communication. You must choose one side (on a PvP server at least, not sure how it works on a PvE one...) one each server, and all your character on that server will be on thesame side.

 

 

 

I've never played on a PvE server so I can't speak about the differences, but the primary thing about the PvP servers is that it forces you to stay awake. You need a completely different awareness of your surrondings, and IMHO that adds a lot to the gameplay. That, and taking a break from grinding to go tell the guys AoE grinding that killing you was probably not the smartest of things to do is plain fun.

 

 

 

It also means you have to play a bit smarter. Yes, Stranglethorn Vale is a great place to level in a specific level range with a huge amount of quests. However, they call it Gankthorn Vale for a reason and leveling there during peak hours without a group is done at your own risk. Solution: Choose a different area to be in during peak times, or make friends with one or two people and go there togheter.

Visiting a mailbox allows you to send mails to people, include your alternate characters. This way, you can spread your stuff over a wider bank selection.

 

 

 

You can also mail it to yourself and just use your mailbox for an extended bank too (unless that was changed since I stopped playing).

[BlueTear]

You can also mail it to yourself and just use your mailbox for an extended bank too (unless that was changed since I stopped playing).

 

 

 

Nope, you have to bounce it via an alt (mail alt, have alt return mail, do not open or pickup mail until you need whatever's in the mail).

[donutjunkie]

ummm so ... with 20 characters what professions should i have on each?

[Kielmccaul75]

Normally I would offer a large reply here ;) But I will just drop a couple of tips.

 

Generally, if you intend to raid endgame instances you will want to select one of the rarer, and more necessary classes. I am a hunter and had a lot of trouble finding a decent guild, and in the end just got lucky with a friend being the GM of an MC raiding guild (we are nearly through BWL now)

 

However, avoiding the worries of finding a guild is possible, learn which classes are rarest on your server (Normally warlocks, priests and druids) and create one of these. That way, when you hit 60 you should have an easier time getting into a guild that will get you phat lewt.

[donutjunkie]

^^^ and how exactly do i do that?

[Lionheart_0]

ummm so ... with 20 characters what professions should i have on each?

you can only have 10 on each server. What i recomend is that you dont use all 10 right away, slowly work your way there. Makea main first and do quests and waht not to get the storyline of the world.

 

 

 

Money is important in, as in all games, but in WoW, its no the deciding factor, its more the time and effort put in to level up your character. There is no merchanting and that kinda stuff (as far as i know). Just worry about yourself when you start to play, and pick a profession (well two since you get two per player) that has to do with your class. Like for example im a roug nightelf, and my character uses leather armour. Why spend tons of money on buying leather armour (unless way better then i can make) when i can just go kill animals and use their leather in my leatherworking profession?

[donutjunkie]

at the moment im a little confused

 

 

 

now your acting as if 10 characaters is the limit, why is it people think ur really only suppsoed to use 1 server?

 

Point are not "distributed" that way.Except for certain talents that increases a stat pÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¥ by a %, you will get gear that adds those stats. The list provided is what priority you should give each stat when choosing what gear to go with.

 

what the hell do u mean?

what the hell do u mean?

 

 

 

Because most people, when they start, pick out one server and never leave it. You can, it's just that most people don't. For example, I don't leave Perenolde because it's a server I know all the people on. I tried playing on Warsong and I felt lost. :P Nobody to talk to, you know.

 

 

 

What BlueTear means is this...I'll try to give an example.

 

 

 

You don't have a limit on "points" you can spend into stats. If you can find a peice of gear with +40 strength and +20 stamina, then you can wear it. If you can find one with +1000 strength and +1000 stamina, you can wear it. That last one doesn't exsist, thankfully, but you get my point I hope?

 

 

 

For example, a peice of epic "Feral Druid" gear:

 

 

 

Malfurion's Blessed Bulwark

 

Binds when picked up (binding means it cannot be traded, ever)

 

Chest Leather

 

392 Armor (a lot of armor for leather, it's more on par with mail!)

 

+40 Strength

 

+20 Stamina

 

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19405 < link to it.

 

 

 

This can be worn, and if you could find every other slot with these same stats, you can still wear it. No limit on # of stats is what I'm getting at.

 

 

 

But I think I see your question, you're wondering how much to put into each stat...Well, I'll tell you this. As a feral druid, Strength is most important, then stamina, so load up on those two. Agility gives crit chance (200% damage on hit) and dodge chance, so that'd nice too, finally, intellect isn't important unless you're PvPing, because you'll be shifting in and out of stances, which costs a considerable amount of mana. Even then, it's not REALLY important. However, as a Restoration (healer) or Balance (think very weak mage :P) your main stats are Intellect, for more mana, spirit, for more mana regeneration, and stamina, so you can stay alive to cast. :P

 

 

 

In comparison, a Rogue's main stat is Agility, then stamina, then strength/attack power. A rogue can focus pretty much all he's got into Agility because it does EVERYTHING for his class...AP, crit chance, dodge, armor (every 1 agility gives you 1 or 2 armor, I forget..lol), everything.

 

 

 

A warrior's focus is pretty much the same as a feral druid...Strength/stamina, agility. A mage focuses on intellect and stamina (and spell crit, spell damage). A warlock focuses on stamina and intellect (and spell crit, spell damage). I think you get my point. You'll be able to find out pretty easily what your class needs. The first time I played I was loading my warrior up with strength/stamina gear just because the warrior part of the WoW website said it was important. Read some there later.

 

 

 

Hope that helped a lil'.

Don't double post in 2 minutes? :? Who are you? Just BUY the damn game don't sit here asking every single question that can be answered in 15 minutes of playing. Apart from the games being MMORPGS there are extremely little similarities between RS and WoW

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and fine at people who say feral druid is fine. I've been in 5 big guilds, I've done every instance apart from AQ killed Nef, and not a single time ever has the guild let feral druids in, they are average DPS average tank and great healers when heal spec. No guild will want to take feral druid as cat when they can take a rogue and no one will take a bear when they can take a warrior.

.

Exactly, my friends spent 20 days playing time on a druid to get to level 60 only to learn that all he's going to do is sit there and heal, I spent 10 days playing time leveling my paladin upto 45 to only learn how boring their end game is. End game is the biggest part of the game. 1-60 will take 20 ish playing time days. Some level 60's have 120 days playing time.

So i'll double post all I want thank you

 

 

 

The post weren't related so I didn't need to go in same post, you're not a mod stop trying to act like one.

[donutjunkie]

ffs double post then jeez

 

if it brings you hapiness double post!

 

 

 

hell its a free bump for me anyway

 

 

 

what classes go best with what race?

 

the tauren, night elf and orc are currently assigned to shaman, druid and warrior

 

are dwarves good rogues?

 

when the blood elf comes out should that be my hunter?

[Tigra00]

Racials depend on what you want to do. For example, Orc racial (25% stun resist) and Undead racial (fear immunity on command) are the most useful in PvP. Warstomp is also useful in PvP...Noone else racials are really that great. :lol:
