I take it horde and alliance can't enter each others towns w/o having the guards on their butts? Kind of like EQ, where you could group with a Iksar or a Dark Elf, but try and go to their cities, and you're KOS.

nope, you cannot /tell, talk to or fratrenize with the opposite faction. Can't trade, invite to group or anything. The opposing faction doesn't even understand what you say, it comes out in all gibberish.

A question about bugs and dupes for wow

My friend was over the other day, and I showed him http://www.exploitsrus.com/wow.html It is a site with cheats, bugs, dupes, etc for World of Warcraft. He told me it was against the rules for WoW to do this. Is this true? I am used to cheating on video games for my whole life, so I was sort of shocked to hear this.

Of course it's true. WoW is a multiplayer game, not single player. When you signed the TOS, you agreed not to use any third-party hacks and cheats.

It's not like WoW is rocket-science. No need to cheat anyway.

I have a question. I have my 11 spells in the first button area at the bottom of the screen. I want to use more spells, but it's a pain to go to the 2nd and 3rd set of buttons all the time. Is there a way to make more buttons that are on the screen all the time?

Go to www.wowinterface.com or one of those similar sites and get one of the add ons. I believe I have 44 on my screen at all times. There are tons of add ons for WoW. Just make sure whatever you get is correct for the current build of the game.

You don't need an add-on to add extra bars any more. Just go to interface options and add the extra bars there.

Lvl 48 shadow priest here. Will be making the move to healing probably around lvl 55. Sometimes my gameplay is limited (10 minutes here or there) so I have become proficient at manufacturing money and have over 700g saved. I buy arcane crystals for 17-19g (I normally send a message in IF or respond to people selling, find out how many they have and buy their whole lot) and will transmute myself (when I can) or pay 4-6g to have the transmute done by someone else. I will then sell the arcanite for 28-36g depending on supplies at the current moment. So profit is nearly 8-14g per sell minus the nominal cost for thorium bars (3g per stack). I rarely buy any super expensive gear as I can normally find just as good gear (as a priest I look for +stm and +int) for 1-5g per item or I get the various drops in the instances. I want my epic mount when I can get it.

There's no real reason for you to switch to a holy build at 55. If you are a good healer you can do it regardless of talent spec. The upper level holy talents don't really do that much (though imp flash heal would be nice for pvp). My compromise, which gives me the best of each talent tree, was to go with a 21/9/21 build. This gives you access to Inner Focus, Spiritual Healing, and Silence. You lose a bit in damage, but you gain it back in improved healing. At least this way you can still defend yourself if you are on your own...

Full-size image - After I made this I forgot to include my mount, which is an emerald raptor. If I think about it later I might redo it.

Here are a couple of screens I took this evening. First one shows all my bars, bags and character info and the second shows how it looks with everything off. I have a menu on the right hand side that controls the bars.





The mods I'm using are Discord Action Bars, Unit Frames and Group Buttons. You can find them here.

A friend just sent me this. Pretty funny 'roleplaying' experience. No bad images but the dialogue might be NSFW.

I wish I could do this too but the crystals are about 25g on my server which would pretty much knock out all profit after a transmute as the bars sell for about 30g and I'm not an alchemist. I did however find a few for 20g. My friend got heartseeker plans for cheap and we are hoping to make a few to sell as a guild and profit off those.

I just started playing this again last night after picking WoW up from Bestbuy for $35. I'm up to a level 9 warrior (woo hoo! ). But one question... I got to the bottom of some mine last night, and found this really nice 2 handed sword. BUT, it says I can't use it because i don't have the two-handed skill. I can't find anyone that will teach me that (checked all 3 local warrior trainers). Where do I find that skill?

Oh yeah, when I was mining last night, I found a chunk of TigerEye or something like that. What's that for?

Could someone type out a macro that would allow me to switch what I am wearing for armor. I want to easily move from shadow damage to +int +stm armor.

Is anyone on the DragonBlight server? If so, i need a good guild to join. Plus, if you want to send a poor warrior something cool, I'm Shankwood.

BTW, I'm kind of confused about quests. I failed this quest in Loch Modean to escort this dwarf to the excavation. I thought I was supposed to abandon the quest, and then go back to the guy who gave me the quest, and he'd give it to me again. But he won't even talk to me now. Have I screwed this quest for good?

And where's the best place for a solo 16 warrior to level up? Should I be attacking guys at my level, or a couple levels below me?

for level 16 i would do the quests in Loch Modan and Westfall. after doinging most of them you should be at 20-22.

the Rumored 1.8 patch notes are fake.

neiname: there is an addon that switches armor/weapons all at once for you. It might have "stance" in the name since it was made for warriors changing stance but it works for everyone.
