why?

[Uwe]

Hey, I'm in my second day of my trial and well, I'm having fun and thinking of upgrading early as I think you have access to an additional character etc aswell?

Why should I upgrade though? How actually will it benefit me at the moment? thanks!

Don't go getting Burning Crusade or Lich King just yet as it won't benfit you till 60 for Burning Crusade and 70 for Lich King. Get a char to 58/60 then go and get Burning Crusade, then after that hit 68/70 and then go and get Lich King therefor increasing your level cap and access to Northrend.

If you upgrade now it won't benefit you that much until your a higher level :)

Well, upgrading your account means you can join a guild, visit the AH, level past 20, and loads more. I'd suggest playing until you're around level 17+ so that you get the most of your 10 day trial and then if you enjoy it upgrade your account.

When it comes to the expansions, like Poon said, dont get The Burning Crusade until you're around 55 and The Lich King until around 65.

If u wish to upgrade to a full account, you get the benefits he said, BUT if you upgrade you still keep your trial days aswell, so you may aswell upgrade now if you wish to play the game for a long time

And also yeah i agree with the expansions.

[DrLacero]

Upgrading gets you the ability to:

Have more than 10g
Be lvl 20+
Join or create a guild
Use extended chat: General, Trade, LocalDefence et cetera
Play as Draenei or Blood Elf (If you buy BC)
Trade and use the Auction House

It's worth it imo, especially if you have friends who play

[Crimson]

But don't forget you loose your life!

[Uwe]

Thanks, everyone!
Another question: I'm being prompted to join a profession, any ideas of which I should definitly do and which I should avoid? thanks.

[Decapitated]

Avoid enchanting on your first char, it's really a money burner

Depends on your class and race really.

Blacksmithing is best suited to Warriors and Paladins and to a lesser extent, Shamans and Hunters.
Leatherworking is best suited to Rogues and Druids as well as Shamans and Hunters but again to a lesser extent.
Tailoring is best suited to Mages, Priests and Warlocks. Druids, Paladins, and Shaman on healing spec may do too.

Racial Benefits:
Tauren have +15 Herbalism
Blood Elves have +10 Enchanting
Gnomes have +15 Engineering
Draenei have +5 Jewelcrafting

There are common combinations such as
Mining goes with Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting and Engineering
Herbalism goes with Alchemy and Inscription
Skinning goes with Leatherworking
Tailoring and Enchanting stand on their own

Remember, you must have BC to get Jewelcrafting as a profession.

Hope that helps

[Gnome]

Also theres this new thing that if you get a certail level you get a passive or something, like with skinning at 75 you get +3% crit chance, mining gives you +hp and i dno the others.

[Uwe]

Have 2 more questions , I'll rep everyone in a second.

1) How do I get a polar bear? I've seen a lot of people with them and
2) My sword/knife is broken how do I get another one (I have 3 in total, but for some reaosn when i put some of them in my inventory thing, they flash green and won't work!)

[Bailey]

1) They were given out on blizz's 4th WoW anniversary

2) You can get your weapons/armour repaired, press the magnifying glass on your minimap and choose repair

[Uwe]

I got an achievment saying 'for logging in during 4th birthday', so is there still no way for me to get polar bear?

[Uwe]

[Gnome]

as Bailey said, click the little thing by your minimap and click Mailbox, What realm are you on? I could make char on it and show you where to find one :P

[Uwe]

Terokkar will be quiet as it has just opened in the last week/2 weeks. Kilrogg is where everyone is mostly at

[Uwe]

Kilrogg was too quiet for Gnomes so I decided to stay. Anyway, it takes AGES to pend... I'm bored of waiting to get full access, why isn't it automatically done like every other game? ;l

It should be done automatically, and what you mean it was too quiet for gnomes? ;s

Well since wrath came out, no one is making new alts and there wont always be new people joining kilrogg and such.


Also thats weird, happened straight away for me.

[Uwe]

Thanks - rep all given.
Also, how come I can only wear cloth items and how come I can't use staffs and things more powerful than the basic knife. I'm a level 14 Gnome Warlock.

You can only wear cloth as your a warlock, thats the highest type of armor they can wear.


And you can learn staves etc. from the different weapon trainers in cities (eg. go to SW and ask a guard for the weapon trainer/master)

[Casual]

10s per skill to train :)
