10 Amazing Tips & Tricks In Classic WoW

[@PeterDB90]

Great list! I just wanted to point out for #7 - there are mob packs that are HARD leashed together and if some of them run back, they ALL do, even the ones you have been attacking the entire time you were kiting them. I noticed this mostly when I got to Redridge Mountains as Alliance - a gnoll mob, Lt. Fangore, in the northwestern part of that map (quest mob) travels with a posse of 2 or 3 other gnolls. There is no way you can separate Fangore from his pack except through cc. If you keep attacking JUST him (or JUST one of the mobs), if one of them starts running back, they all will, including the one you were attacking.

[@sakuyarules]

"you can unlock doors by dying and walking through them." But then you aren't unlocking the door are you?

[@ridooz]

sakuyarules so it actually costs to open any door, because u lose durability on gear

[@XanderCamacaro]

​@@ridooz Well, actually you can plan to go unnequiped before do this.

Might be worth mentioning that Whipper root *does* share cooldown with healthstone, making it, contrary to what you claimed, *not* something that any "hard core raiding guilds" would need. If they truly are "hard core", they'd just use healthstones instead, seeing as both the highest rank *and* the 2nd highest rank healthstone heals for more than the root.

[@HustlersMark]

^^^

[@alexgulino335]

yeah as a vanilla lock who carried more shards than most locks it's impossible to keep everyone good. Keep the healers/tanks stocked on hs

[@redjoker365]

Also shares cooldown with mana ruby for mages, that's a big no for this thirsty mage

[@VeluBeru]

[@FunFails]

@@VeluBeru No, he said both. "A lot of hardcore guilds will take advantage of that buff, *AND take advantage of the whipper root tuber*. So yes, your listening comprehension is about as horrid as your intelligence mate 😉

4:50 bandages start being more profitable starting at silk. Wool and linen are a tad less. But if you go tailoring you can turn 2 linen cloth (26c for 2) into 1 bolt which is 40c.

[@miskee11]

10. Whipper Root Tubers are hardly the only things that work like this. There are healthstones, mana gems (mage only), Lily Roots (from Lei of Lilies), Night Dragon's Breaths, Dark Runes, Crystal Restores and Demonic Runes. All of these things do share a 2 minute cooldown between each other, though. There are a few more items that work like this, but the ones I mentioned are the most useful in this niche. 8. Not all bandages are worth making. Sure, when working with vendor prices, churning Heavy Runecloth Bandages is a steady 24g/hr, Mageweave Bandages yield 18g/hr and Heavy Silk Bandages are 12g/hr, but making any bandages out of Linen/Wool is always going to result in a net loss. If you aren't the type of guy who likes to AFK and make bandages all day, selling raw cloth in the AH is usually better gold.

lulw people don't know this - aswell get the nameplate set distance macro / console command

[@grabatar]

@@Max-dv1kq Nameplate distance was nerfed sadly. Server and client is forcing the nameplate distance and whenever you do a cvar update it will simply ignore any number above default. And no, everyone do not know everything that can be done. Just like you didnt know that this was nerfed and i bet you someone else knows something you and i dont know, but everyone else does. thats how things are ;). Peace p.s i really wish the nameplate distance was higher, same with distance of showing mobs, wich they also nerfed back to classic levels.

[@shana7246]

If you want to reverse this what do you do or does it just reset when you log out & in?

[@John-wq3fm]

In addition to your bandage trick, cooked food typically sells for more than the raw meat. The vendor price is still higher than the raw mats even if it requires reagants from a vendor. For example, Jungle Stew. It really helped me get my lvl 40 mount.

[@riotdejaneiro3650]

08:07 just jump into the lava and hop up the lil edge, ez.. no double falling dmg and no healing required..

[@pd1jap]

That's what I thought. It looks even more spectaculair to just jump. Seeing the number of skelletons on the ramp, the #5 tip often goes wrong.,...

[@BulletBillWow]

That leashing mechanic is awesome, great tip!

[@CrazyGaming-ig6qq]

8:16 oh man I remember that place from what... 11 years ago. how epic

[@akoww1000]

4:48 I made a lot of money in Vanilla days doing the bandage trick. I would find stacks of cloth on the AH for Cheap and would buy it just to turn into bandages and sell it to a vendor for double or more in profit. yes this does work on all cloth, That's what I love about people undercutting on the AH with cloth lol

[@joshuaroe1402]

I have been doing that leashing trick a lot and figured it out myself by accident.

[@Dremag_Gaming]

8:11 I tend to jump right into the lava near the ramp, since you'll take less damage 12:00 Plus jumping near The Black Anvil will lead you to both the end areas for MC and the dungeon itself

[@alexgulino335]

yeah, its the same technique you use to "kite" mobs... is that still a thing? If you can't do that then you can't be a classic wow hunter

[@avici0182]

@@alexgulino335 Last night I was doing the quest Stromgarde Badges in Arathi Highlands with my Night Elf hunter. Popular questing with both Horde and Alliance as it requires you to group up and kill these elites for badges. On my way to the Keep, I passed by Fozruk, the Lvl 42 giant Elite that wanders the roads and fields of Arathi Highlands. The hunter kiting instinct in me smirks as I know exactly what and where to bring this big guy, you guessed it, Stromgarde Keep.... As I was approaching Stromgarde Keep, there was a full party of Horde busy killing the elite mobs facing the other way completely unaware of the threat that's about to face roll their way. They were casting all kinds of AoE, and Crowd Control. Accidentally hitting the giant as I safely and trollish-ly /cast Feign Death and watched the chaos unfold. Bodies dropping one by one. My favorite part was when a warlock's pet agrooed the giant as he was desperately trying to cast a Soulstone on himself knowing his inevitable death. Sad to say, he didnt make it. RIP Undead Lock, it's a dangerous world out there. Shortly after, general chat was blowing up with things like... "What was Fozruk doing in the keep?" "Who the fuck brought that giant elite in Stromgarde Keep where people are questing?" *correction, "were questing", because everybody's dead. [Insert troll face meme]

[@Tobez]

One of the best "Top # tips/tricks" Videos on youtube for Wow imo. Thanks for the info

[@billymanilli]

Yup, the bandages sell for more with all of the cloths... Been doing this for a long time, since cloths dont go for very much on my server at all in AH... Sometimes people list them so cheap, I buy them, turn into bandages and vendor to pick up a few extra silver (not much, but can add up!)

[@avici0182]

I love how you mentioned leashing. Learned that skill many years and deaths ago. Brought back many good memories.

[@dancurtis461]

In some dungeons the boss doesn't leash, so you can pull it all the way to the entrance or nearest spawn point. Thus, on a hard boss fight with lots of deaths and prone to wiping, if you pull the boss back to the entrance, the players respawn in range to continue killing the boss.

selim lechner there’s a mechanic called leeway (spelling might be wrong) but if you and your target are both moving spells and abilities have an increased range.

[@johnclegg1701]

It’s like when a your running from a mob, clearly away from it but it’s still beating on you. Melee range is increased against moving targets to make up for any server lag. Same applies to pvp

[@JohnYoungblood1337]

and Heavy mageweave (but not regular mageweave bandages)

[@CitizenNerd]

I leveld FA to 300 with that trick.. most AH prices where less than npc price so every stack of silk cloth was 30 to 35 silver and sold bandage for 40 solver pr stack

[@KiyokaMakibi]

For getting behind locked doors; Being a warlock was very handy, especially for Scholomance where no NPCs where available to kill you. :D

[@ladyofthemasque]

Lower level cloth bandages are actually sold at a loss. Linen cloth is 13c, but the bandages sell for 10c, same for heavy linen, and so on up the chain for a ways.

[@MrLightlike78]

The bandage trick is how I made a small fortune and was able to afford my mount in classic. Kurzen compound stv a cave called the stockpile is great!

[@evandavis5223]

This only works for Silk Cloth or higher. Linen and wool cloth LOSE value when made into bandages.

[@reakdx8692]

brd skip is much more convenient by not jumping onto the ledge but just in the lava and then walk up the ramp. you take no falling dmg at all and if you know how to lava-jump you dont have to waste a bandage or time for food (if you are not a selfhealer class) for the following jump -> essentially having it in one go.

[@Eye_Exist]

You can very easily control the direction where the enemy mob flees and by this avoid a fleeing humanoid ever chainpulling is to first drag him little bit away from his standing point and then walk between him and his comrades, facing to the direction you have already cleared, so that the enemy will always flee to a direction where there's no his comrades left to chain pull.

2:10 Uh the corrupted song flower plant is obtainable by just clicking it. You don't need to have any salves.

[@sarahbuck2506]

Michael steffens Cleansed songflower is what gives you the buff. You need the salve to cleanse it. What I would’ve liked to see is whether the same trick that worked on private servers works in Classic, where the entire raid surrounds the songflower and clicks at the same time, and all get the buff.

[@EtherealGoSu]

There is a much quicker way into mc by jumping straight into the lava from the other side of the pillar and swimming under the bloodelf.

[@robertscheu9771]

this leashing trick was needed so that hunters could finish their legendary-bow-quest to "kyte" the dragons and rouges farmed thistle-tea like hell in raid guilds number 5: you could also jump into the lava and lavajump up the chain next to the spot where you dropped in the video... or as a paladin you could simply jump down with one of your two invulnerability spells ... you could even cast the other spell onto a party-member number 1: raid guilds who needed mc equip killed the trash because of the materials for their weapon and armor quests in blackwinglair especially they hunted some because of the ingots they dropped and in upper blackrock spire a priest could mind-control a special enemy to give the whole raid for mc and bwl a fire resisting buff

#4 Jousting - You should never turn you back on the target or you can get dazed.

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

Amazing has really become a pretty worthless word to describe anything...How about slightly convenient/cool tipps?

[@Belkalton]

Oh my lord i almost cried as a tailor when you implied that players just take things like runecloth and vendor it when i spend so much time with NO profession to help me collect cloth for tailoring (like mining and herbalism and skinning provide).

[@nexzus1000]

Hey vaulty line cloth gives way more by turning it into bolt of line cloth more then the bandages

[@PeterDB90]

#4 - for Jousting, Paladins would greatly benefit EXCEPT you need a slow (which paladins do not have) or a speed increase (which ret paladins have a small amount of). If you want to joust as a paladin, look into anything that might provide a "slow" effect on your enemies. Another KZbinr had suggested use of Frost Oil - it grants your weapon a chance to shoot a frostbolt at an enemy while melee attacking, which applies a "slow" effect. Moreover, there's a form of Jousting that ROGUES can take advantage of as well. Obviously, rogues dual-wield and also typically have weapons so fast that most of the time your attack speed will be higher than the mob's making jousting useless, however rogues have a DIFFERENT reason to joust - ENERGY! Rogues are also a great candidate because of crippling poison. So for melee mobs, slow them with crippling poison, burn all your energy attacking them, then walk away from them so they can no longer reach and damage you, wait for your energy to regenerate, get back into the fight and unload more abilities on them - also quite useful in PvP.

5:22 This will NOT work for some targets whose companions are guards instead of just other grouped targets that are simply close around it.

[@highkergaymer8301]

My server constantly has stuff lower than vendor price. When you’re loaded up on something, some people like to share so they sell for super duper cheap. I would personally rather sell in AH for cheaper than vendor because you’re basically taking that resource out of the economy when you vendor it.

[@goofy-OD]

@@highkergaymer8301 you're delusional if you think people are intentionally listing below vendor price just to "share" you're also brain dead if you think listing below vendor price is helping someone out who needs it. you're most likely just getting sniped by someone with tsm or some other auction house scanning addon that auto buys anything listed for below vendor price.

[@tjlewis2710]

A stack of silk cloth goes for 30s to vendor...people are selling it anywhere from 32-38...(and obviously higher) but if you buy it for under 40s and turn it into bandages and vendor them, you profit. A stack of bandages go for 40s. Same thing with heavy bandages, they go for 80s a stack. so if you use 40 silk that you paid 70s for and sell them as heavy for 80s. 10s profit.
