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 :)

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.

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 ! :)

You should definitely make those TBC gearing up guides you used to do but for wrath ofcourse

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

Would you suggest warmane for wotlk or is there other alternatives that are better?

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

Super awesome 👍 thanks :)

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.

How do people get stuff in raids? I see everytime that someone loot all the stuff and I have no chance to roll for anything :(

What add-ons and ElvUI settings are you using? I like how clean and organized your UI looks and I can't get mine to look as good as yours.

u can dungeon level all the way

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.

Why are u playing frost? Ffb or arcane must do more damage

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.

Sssst! Keep quiet boys, before Vaulty and Asmongold get wind of this.

Some notes: - Could have mentioned that the WG mob quests cant be done during combat (except killing of the enemy faction), and that if you are the holder of the castle there will spawn bigger mobs with extra drop rate on the quest items. Also; the quests are weekly, didnt hear you mentioning that, only that they were repeatable. - The sons of hodir enchants are BoA, so if you farm the reputation out on one you can send the enchants over to your other characters later. - Mages will start with bonus rep with Kirin Tor, and DKs will start with bonus rep with The Knights of the Ebon Blade - The quests to unlock Argent Crusade, KotEB, Sons of Hodir quartermasters are great to do while lvling from 77 to 80 aswell so it wont feel like a stretch to go do them after hitting 80 just for the quartermaster access.

Don't forget Venture Bay Dailies in Grizzly Hills! If your class uses a relic slot (Shaman, Druid, Paladin, DK) and you are trying to get into heroics, this is a MUST since there is not another good way to improve that item slot. All you need to do is complete three quests (to get 30 Venture Coins) and then take over the little island until a vendor appears. Also, another option is "walk in" heroics. Unless the server is fresh, this typically requires you to join a guild and get them to help you. It also requires the players know what they are doing since they are under geared for the content (this is especially true if your server has heroics that are more difficult than the standard Wrath Heroics).
