Personally what I always did when reaching 80 (and if possible, some stuff before that) was the following: - Reach friendly with the relevant factions so that I can get their respective tabards. Only exception would be the Sons of Hodir, with them you just do the K3 quest chain "They took our men!" and then turn in the "Relics of Ulduar" (Hoard on these, you can sell them for good money on the AH) -Spam random heroics and look for a Naxxramas group. Preferably 25m, there's more room for mistakes and the loot is higher ilvl. (If you are a Shaman or Frost Mage, ya better be ready to kite at Gluth) -Do wintergrasp when it is available. Lots of honor, gold and useful trinkets / gear can be obtained from doing it. -Get your professions leveled up. If you can learn the recipes from Ulduar, ToC, etc. then you can just passively make gold by crafting people gear. -Just focus on whatever the next raid tier is that's coming out Ps: I was commenting as I was watching the video, I love how good and well made this video is. Lots of useful information. Well done as always :)
Thanks man! And yes your recommendations definitely work too! Unfortunately not on all private servers, cause fully progressed ones tend to never run naxx which is a shame but on fresh ones this definitely could be super useful to people! You earned yourself a pin :)
Lmfao, 4k GS DK on Sunwell and literally cant do anything to casters, maybe kill one If im lucky, casters are broken as all hell and DK's are only good in PVE.
@Lazare then man you dont know how to play a dk yet. Unholy is the worst spec to deal with right now on frosthold since they have so many cds like anti magic shield , zone , ghoul stun , gargoyle dps , death grip , strangulate , mind freeze to counter my mage , lock or priest. They do roughly similar damage now as they will do in Icc patch. I suggest to learn how to cc chain a caster becaude now they are easy kills for dks later it will get more balanced because of better gear for all classes
Hope is never relevant again I don't want they close the private server where I play on and lose my progression I hope blizzard never does any retail wotlk server
Look dudes. Blizzard literally can not stop private servers. There is NOTHING they can do about it. The cores have gotten so good people are now injecting custom models and assets from future expansions into vanilla. It won't be long until the source code is reverse engineered and we get Vanilla 2 with HD graphics that looks better than the retail version.
As I newbie, I must say one big THANK to you, you made me all clear, ofcourse I had to play video a few times, but I got it what to do. Everyone explains another way, this looks like logical way to progress step by step, how the creators of the game imagined it (at least in my opinion). You are one great person ! :)
Thanks bro. Just hit lvl 80 for the first time ever and get to experience end game for the first time ever and was kind of overwhelmed at first. Now I wrote myself a nice little checklist to go along to and it should be smooth sailing from now on.
I really feel like hamster is watching me somehow because all the videos seem to come just in time when i need them or have been thinking about the topics 🧐 strange
Firstly, which player/party/raid frame addon are you using? Been trying to find it for a while, but I can't! Would love the addon name + a profile to load, but mostly the addon name! Also, why was this created in 2020 when WOTLK is releasing now? Private Server?
On my server is a bit different (Dalaran WoW).By the time you hit 80, you literally have enough gear to que for heroics due to the x1 xp rating which forces you to do many quests and dungeons with nice gear rewards. But the coolest things is nobody (the majority at least) cares about gear score as long as you've done your homework and know some tactics, people will get you into raids to help you attune and get some cool gear. So gear comes more naturally i guess and with lots of fun while making friends.Cheers
Video was made for private servers, not in case blizzard releases wotlk classic, also servers got launched after this video, he made the video around the launch of warmane frostmourne which was a big success
This looks like Warmane (Paymane-Bugmane). Where u see fresh lvl 80s in greens and holding a Shadowmourne they bought from the online store, and half the content is bugged AF.
Yes it is Warmane Icercown, I chose it cause it was a good server for me to quickly gear up this character, I didn't want to sink in a boatload of time leveling up a character on a 1x server just for this one video
Hey Hmasterwheel, just wanted to say, keep up the good work, been watching your videos for years now, really big fan of your nostalgia videos! Keep it up, excellent content.
I mean its okay to buy from the AH but jesus christ man at least buy the items that fit your class don't buy spirit items for a bloody mage. Also Skill n Stats > Gearscore
So I should not get an item that even without its spirit is a huge upgrade for me? And spirit does nothing for mages? Spirit increases crit cause Molten Armor increases its critical strike chance the more spirit you have. Hell even certain items on tier sets have spirit...
@@HamsterWheelGaming i mean if you absolutely cant find an item upgrade sure go for the spirit one but besides that you wanna go for crit rating stat over spirit.
You need some markers for segments! I came here hoping to find info about why I should do the Battle for Undercity but, I'm not going to spend 30 minutes going through the video trying to find it.
Hi, what pc build do you recommend in-order to play to the highest settings of Wotlk(warmane) ? My budget is only $500 I have no idea about pc building or pc in general since I only play at local internet cafes and I’m more in mobile gaming since pandemic.. now that I have been bored of mobile gaming, I wanna go back to playing WoW private server. Sorry for my bad english.
Good god, why would private server players use a GS add-on? it was so toxic and broken, just twisting the score with stacking Stam gems as a caster, GG.
Oh yeah it sucks, you can buy 264 rings off of the auction house that have strength and stamina on it as a mage, but then you'll have a better gearscore so it makes 0 sense and the addon should have been made based on how beneficial it is to you, not just the item level. Unfortunately 95% of all pugs (at least on that server) use it, so you have to abide by their rules or make a pug yourself.
@@HamsterWheelGaming Ah I see, yeah unfortunately you kinda have to bite the bullet if the vast majority is using it I guess! Was just odd too see because I remember the backlash back in the day when it was on retail, didn't really rub me the right way haha!
showing stuff on a warmane is not accurate at all. This server is badly scripted and most of these items wouldn't be avalable, because the quest chains for those faction vendors to appear are bugged and not working. So basically pay for lolmourne and enjoy. If you call that fun xD
as far as early gearing, you need to do WG every time it is up, regardless of faction i recommend queueing in the last 5min of WG being available, if ur alliance u will farm tons of honor but lose(1WG mark), if you are horde you get a free win(3 WG marks} these marks can be used to purchase your boots/trinkets/helm from WG vendor they are about the same as deadly gladiator pieces, and offer a lot of hit rating. the 10k+ honor you will get will buy you all your savage glad pieces and offset pieces. Also dont forget to do class runs in VoA each week.
Man i can't wait for WOTLK classic, playing tbc classic the raiding is great but admittedly it was nostalgia that made me think TBC was as good as WOTLK, but WOTLK is just so much better on many fronts... going to be great (private servers are not an option for me -- 400 ping) so the wait is long
My greatest issue with the server you were playing on is that getting to 4.5k GS is painful, but it feels like I'm forced to queue randoms in order to buy new gear to get to 5k. And then, as a tank, I STILL need to get lucky as hell since getting 6.3k GS to even bother with NORMAL ICC is fucking horrific. That aside, great guide.
This is great. But just for everyone that came here wanting too use this guide for classic wotlk good luck the devs will most likely nerf and not release crafted gear till it’s too late.
@@HamsterWheelGaming trust me i know i play on dala wow and ur videos are helpful not dissin at all but mad ppl will see this guide when and if wolk retail comes around
>get the two most important factions exalted for the enchants. the other ones are rather useless. >clear t7 in raidweek 1 >raidlog until wotlk is over or do pvp if you are interested in that.
I may try Classic wrath, but I need to know if the leveling is any better, with the help of the dungeon finder the grind shouldn't be as bad right? More low level quests as well for the easier grind?
