If you are a skinner you make even more gold.

In winterspring where the elite dragons are you can make alot of gold
They have a pretty high drop rate of Mature Blue Dragon Sinew that sells for 300-400g depending on your server but on my server they sell for 300-400g. They also drop lots of grey that you can vendor for some g, And plenty greens to. If you don't already have 16 slots bags you will get yours there to
I've got pretty much of Traveler's Backpack. That sell for 18-25g at AH depending on your server as always

If you are a skinner you get alot of rugged leather and blue dragonscales.
And they also drop silver from 14-20s, They are easy to kill solo also, I'm a shaman with decent gear killing them with no problems.

My exact amount of gold right now is 3453g

I hope this will help all those poor guys out there.

This is a fun trick to pull in the lowbie towns. Use a priest's Mind Control power on a town NPC and order him to follow you. Then start to lead him outside of town. Once the Mind Control wears off, have another player root that NPC, heal, then Mind Control again. By rotating those powers you'll be able to lead your hapless villager anywhere in the world you'd like. So take him to the middle of nowhere and lock him in so he can't just wander back.

Be sure to grab crucial quest NPCs, and go and watch the chaos when the guard captain the newbies were gathering rat tails for is nowhere to be found.

The deal with the coins:
There are 44 'Elders' all over the world (and 6 in instances). They are easy to spot, because they have a bright white shaft of light all around them. Each elder has a quest, which is really just talking to him. There is no pre-requisite to do this, you can simply walk up and talk to any of the 50 Elders listed below. A quick 'Continue' then 'Complete,' and you have yourself a Coin of Ancestry. Each elder gives you 1 coin, and 50 reputation with all horde/alliance factions (example: 50 reputation with Darkspear Trolls, Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, and Undercity — so, 200 reputation total) when you talk to them and complete the mini-quest.

The Coins of Ancestry can be turned in to 2 NPC's in Nighthaven, a city in Moonglade, for various rewards (listed at the bottom of this post). Now, the rewards aren't that good, but the reputation is outstanding. If you visit all of the NPC's and get their coins, you will recieve a total of 10,000 reputation. TEN THOUSAND. That's the same as turning in 200 stacks of Runecloth. The mini-quests give no EXP. (Thanks Basic, of Kil'Jaeden). You, however, get no bonus for collecting all 50. Which is a bit of an anti-climax.

simply make or edit a macro with
/target playername
/cheapshot 1 (this line is actually longer but i cant remember off the top of my head)
now press this button like a maniac nonstop while looking for the other rogue

Wierd thing is that even if that person gets the cheapshot off on you, you'l get it off on them aswell

doesnt work with ambush because positioning is trickier.

Alright, I decided to write this little 'mini-guide' because I keep hearing about people having problems with priest.

Priest is honestly not a hard class to play if you know how to play it right.

This isnt a guide to go out and kill Onyxia solo, this is for the average fight you encounter wherever, knowing how to start a fight properly, and knowing how to react to a sudden attack.

This really only applies to Soloing.

I. Starting a fight: This is for the times when you see a mob and have time to set up an attack.

1.Preparation
a. First thing you do is make sure all of your buffs are in order, Power Word: Fortitude, Inner Fire, Etc.
b. Pop on Power Word: Shield. Alot of people make the mistake of putting on PW:S after youve already hit the mob with your pulling spell..this is WRONG…so dont do it. Instead, turn on PW:S and wait until you have about 15 seconds left on it before attacking. Most mobs take down your shield within 15 to 20 seconds, this way your mana will have time to recharge plus, by the time the mob takes down your shield, you'll be ready to pop on another one.

2. The Actual fight (first blow to last)
a. Many people start the fight with Mind Blast because it does the most damage and takes the longest to recharge, wrong. dont do it. Start the fight off with Smite…Yes you heard me, Smite. Nobody mentions smite in their guides because it takes FOREVER to cast. This is why you cast it in the beginning. The mob will then start rushing towards you. You want your second attack to be Mind Blast because you can cast it in the amount of time it takes the mob to get to you. From there you want to hit the mob with Shadow Word: Pain and start the DOT process. (If youre in a group, or taking damage at any point in the fight, cast Vampyric Embrace to get some health back)
b. So far your attacks should be (IN ORDER)
Smite
Mind Blast
Shadow Word: Pain
c. For the rest of the fight you want to cast in this order.
Mind Flay
Mind Flay
Mind Blast
Repeat.
And apply SW: Pain or PW:S again when necessary

II. Sudden attacks
1. Alot of the time youre going to get attacked by mobs that just spawned or ones that you didnt see. The outcome of this fight is dependant on reaction time…so the biggest tip is this. KNOW YOUR HOTKEYS. Quick reaction time can save you from certain death.
a. First things first, pop on Power Word: Shield. This thing should give you enough time to get the next couple of spells in.
b. Vampyric embrace, dont bother with Renew, Minor Heal, Flash Heal, or Heal, These take too long to cast and take up way too much mana. Rather regain health as youre attacking, your DOTs should bring you the amount of health that you need.
c. Shadow Word: Pain to start the DOT process.
d. From there just follow the steps in section 2 based on a normal fight.
Mind Blast
Mind Flay
Mind Flay
Mind Blast
Repeat.
And apply SW: Pain or PW:S again when necessary

This is really more of a guide to soloing than a group guide, its also entirely dependent on you being a shadow build.

PS: You cant cast Smite while in Shadow Form. Take that into account.

Okay first you need to be a tailor that can make white linen shirts. The get some linen cloth and make it into bolts of linen cloth. then buy supplies(coarse thread and bleach) which only cost 35 copper and make some shirts that sell for 75 copper. this is for fast small amounts of money. Make sure you dont buy the linen. Farming makes it easier(if their gray you can get more without leveling so you can catch up in money). This guide is easier for undeads because the scarlet crusade guys drop alot of linen. i made about 1g in about an hour of working. So enjoy joy this quick money.

As many of you know, fishing and cooking go well together just like mining and blacksmithing. If you do it right you can save yourself a boat load of time and energy. Seeing as theres a tutorial about fishing from around 125-300 and cooking from 125-300 i thought it would only make sense to help people out by making one from 1-125.

To start out, youll need to get the two skills fishing and cooking http://thottbot.com/?s=fishing+trainer For fishing trainers everywhere, and http://thottbot.com/?s=cooking+trainer cooking trainers everywhere.

Now, youll want to begin by fishing in low level areas such as ice flow lake, in dun morogh. youll be catching longjaw snappers and brilliant smallfish, you can sell these because you wont be needing them, continue fishing in these low level areas untill you reach lvl 75 in fishing, then train in journeyman fishing and its time to move on…

The next place to go is the Westfall Lighthouse which is on the south west shoreline
http://i72.thottbot.com/en/Interface/WorldMap/Westfall/Westfallbig.jpg

Here you will be catching Slitherskin Mackerel and Rainbow Fin Albicore (also some bottles with scrolls in them, which are always useful)

And this is where cooking starts to come into play

Before you leave sentinel hill to go to the lighthouse, visit the quater master and get yourself some wood and flint to bulid a fire or two. Once you get to the light house (which if your a lower level is still easy to get to, not many agros to avoid) look to the south, there is peir there with a man on it (Kriggon Talsone) He sells recipies for Both of the fish youll be catching.

Catching the amount of fish youll need to bring your cooking skill up to 75 then 125 will be a bit of a challenge if you plan to do it all by hand, using a bot is a good idea but, you use them at your own risk. Once youve caught enough to fill half of or backpack, or more, your ready to start cooking, youll want to start with the Slitherskins to get you to level 75 from there, its rainbowfin to 125.

This is where my tutorial ends, but before i do, a note:
If you plan on going past 125, going to Render's Valley in the redridge mountians is a good place to start fishing again. its a 100% drop of Briskle Whisker Catfish, these will bring up your fishing skill, and if you go to stormwind and buy the recipe from the local fisherman you can use these to cook your way past 125.

I hope this tutorial helps all who read it

Thanks, Musicfreak266 (musicfreak226)

I have been in beta since june, so this might help some people… Im not going to cover night elf land though. This should get you to level 20 in 2-3 days 95% solo.

When you start off as a level 1 in any area that you are in make sure that you do every single quest possible in your "newb area"…
If you pick human you will start in northshire abby. Talk to all the people with the yellow question mark above thier head. The newb mobs you will kill are behind your starting area. After you finish those head to goldshire it should be on the map. Now the idea of getting every single quest that you can at the time, is that some are collection quests wich you do while you are on the main quests. If you get a delivery to storm wind dont do it untill you finish the others. The lost guard quest and the elite trogg Hogger is where you should hit around level 8-10 or so.. This should be about the end of quests for this area. Keep reading for the rest.

Dwarf or Gnome you start in the same area. Basic run down pick up all the quests you can the newb mobs are back to the SouthWest just follow the road do everysingle one of these untill the only ones you have left are the delivery quests. Then go up to khranos and do those ones. When you finish Khranos head up the road to Steelgrill depot your quest log will give you directions. There is also Brewnwall village wich you should do. Do everysingle one of these quests. You will need at least a 3 man group for the wendigos, frostmane hold, vegash.

Now if you were a human and you finished Elyyn Forest, you need to travel to Iron Forge. Take the gryphon to out of Stormwind city to there. Start on the quests in khranos.

If you started dwarf or gnome go to iron forge and take the gryphon to stormwind. Now do the quests in elwyyn..

Basically your leveling in the other races starting lands now the mobs your killing should be a little lower level than you so that you can cut right through them.

After you have done both of these. You will head to westfall or Loch modan. Do the lower level quests in these, DO NOT attempt the high level ones yet. As your trying to do quests that are around 1-3 levels below you right now for increased xp gain.

After you finish the tunnel rat ears and some trogs in Loch Modan go to West Fall and do some defias from sentinal hill. Also when you kill the harvest watchers there keep 5 flasks of oil, 5hops, and 5 okra as these are for other quests that you will get to later on.

Once the quests start getting hard in the loch go to westfall untill they get hard and then go back the loch when the westfall ones get hard vice/versa depending on where you are at the time.

If you do go to redrige you can do a couple there at level 16-18 or so. Dragon whelps after you do a delivery to goldshire. Also kill some trogs there. The delivery quests make sure that you do these as 90% of the time they lead to other quests.

Well i hope this can help some people if you have questions just ask..

Also see www.thottbot.com for quest locations.
If you are night elf and want to get to the human or dwarf lands take a boat from darkshore to menethial harbor and you arrive in the wetlands. Make sure you stay on the road, and nothing should kill you. Run up to loch modan through the dun algaz gates.

Things needed to do this:
Noggenfogger Elixir (Make sure you have several of these)
Savory Deviate Delight
Must use a Level 35 (or higher) Male Character

Drink Noggenfogger until you're a skeleton.
Once you're a skeleton eat the Savory Deviate Delight.
You have to be either a pirate or a ninja.
Get rid of (right click) your Noggenfogger buff.
You're now a female ninja or pirate until you die or the buff runs out.
