I started a couple months ago with this mentality and it was honestly the best decision. Played at my own pace, super casual. Took breaks to do professions and run dungeons. Met people. Joined a guild. Didn't rush to 60. The dungeons and raids aren't going anywhere. This is the way.

[@gscgold]

I don't care about getting to 60 right away, I'm gonna just enjoy the whole fresh experience at a slowish steady pace..no rush.

Yup! Can't wait to meet people along the way and make some friends! That is the whole vanilla experience! Otherwise you're stuck farming world buffs for really easy "vanilla" raids

maybe you can time it so by the time you hit 60 the server will be dead and 70% bots!!

(Great DPS, HPS, Total damage etc. tracker) GatherMate2 (Resource node tracker) MinimapButtonButton Or MinimapButtonBag (Gathers addon buttons into a single, clean button) Nova World Buffs (Shows timers for world events) Omnibar and OmniCC (cooldown trackers) Pawn (Compares chosen item stats and alerts when one better is mouse-overed) Questie (great quest guide) Range display (displays range from target) Rank Sentinel (Alerts chosen people when a lower rank ability is used when a better one is available) Tacotip (Shows item level) Threat classic (shows threat meters on target) Trade Skill Master (Sophisticated auctioning automation addon) Vendor Price (Show the vendor price for the mouse-overed item) Weapon Swing Timer [Show the time until the next weapon attack (main-, off-hand, range, wand)] Xptracker (Shows how much xp has been gain this session and predicts how much until the next level when "/xpt" is input)

Jesus you nerd. Do you even remember what WoW feels like without the addon makeover?

[@colonelsanders82]

I'm glad the community is collectively deciding to slow things down after I have said repeatedly that you don't need to speedrun the game to enjoy it. I have literally had people ask me "why are you levelling fishing?" as if to say "because I want to" isn't a valid response. People would literally tell you what professions to take and look at you weird if you picked anything other than mining/engineering. Anything that deviated from the prescribed meta seemed like a waste of time to them, but here we are. It took a few years, but people finally are willing to give the rest of the game a chance.

Good tips since for my playtime will be significally lower than the previous classic, and since this server being a progression server with a lifespan of 1.2 yrs for TBC, if i want to raid ill need to invest time smarter at the begining to dont fall behind and maybe have a chance to catch all the raids, so i think my limited 2 hours per day playtime will be a challlenge

[@xtadeus4777]

Just play and Enjoy guys ! My plans => Go fresh (new Hardcore server on EU has no sens ! Stiches & Nek Rosh should already be merged) => Pick undead rogue or orc warlock : cannot decide yet. => Only play one class as I have not the info if fresh will stop to TBC or not yet / No reroll nothing except a bank disenchant + stock materials => play my pace to avoid being burned like in 2019 by playing too much and leveling too fast ! => Get to 60, push my professions max ready for TBC release => Wait for TBC / will not give energy for the raid content in this level 60 content => Stop this fresh and return back to Era Classic to give my energy for raid or pvp ranking => Come back with TBC

[@kasplat5874]

I wonder how large the layer populations will be, especially the crowded starting zones, Stranglethorn hunting, etc. If there really is no gold buying, but huge overall server populations, the AH is also going to be totally different. It would be nice if they rolled back the AoE dungeon farming too. While the AH gets you more than vendoring, it takes an enormous amount of time, which could be spent actually doing fun stuff.

[@fritzbli82]

This was a great video! Thx m8!

[@Blizzhobbs]

I wish they would tune the classes a little bit to make some of the other specs more enticing to play at end game. Like make the meme specs actually more viable for raiding, and maybe make the bosses a little harder to balance it out. Doesn’t have to be anything big like SoD with new spells, just maybe interesting to try I think.

[@delsere7095]

Awesome tips! What sort of addon or macro are you using at timestamp 1:50 for the Healthstone, x0 Soulshards and Soulstone center screen?

[@MidgardGamesTV]

Another tip: taking enchanting early on can be very lucrative. People will often post level 11-15 boe green weapons on the AH for 10-12 silver. These items often disenchant to 1-2 greater magic essences. Each essence can be made into a greater magic wand which vendors for 15 silver. So if you spend 12 silver on an item and get 2 essences, you just made more than double your investment. Not to mention that means free leveling enchanting until 150

[@MidgardGamesTV]

@Sage2000 don't recall the source, I'm sure you can find it on wowhead but I just know from experience level 11-15 green weapons give you greater magic essence. Green weapons level 10 and below give lesser essence

[@MidgardGamesTV]

@@Sage2000 just check the AH. Any weapon level 11-15 under 15 silver is profitable

[@JackovdaBoro]

Great tip thanks

[@PrideNverDie]

Don't waste a profession slot on your main. Create a level 1 bank alt and park him in ogr/sw and take enchanting. You can disenchant any level item and that way your main has more important professions it will also free up bank/bag space since you'll be sending your unwanted greens to your alt.

I even killed few more young wolves as a tribute for Eagan, I guess he knew what happened in Duskwood. Danged 10, got my Defensive stance to head directly to Coldridge valley... Many Dwarves went into the frontlines & Senir's observation has to be delivered to the dwarven senate to ruffle some feathers. Clearing Coldridge & green quests in Dun Morogh I danged 11 with 2 gold. Hogger tasted justice & Elwynn is fairly safe, I grab a big lvl 12 Healing potion to help me survive crocodiles dwelling the march, the Elves needed help indeed. Took the boat to Darkshore & met the Kaldorie. Ofcourse assisted the elves maintaining Teldrassil's balance. Back to Westfall, Saldaen is not alone... & Loch Modan is waiting me. Maybe this is just my Warrior but I'm lvl 41, didn't die & I have all Weapon skills/Blacksmithing/Secondary professions maxed out. I guess you got the idea guys, this is the only rite of passage. Only green quests, only lore... the best adventure of all time For the Alliance!

Honestly, I think getting 60 and then grinding gold is faster than trying to get along the way? There's many good raw gold farms like ZF aoe grinding and then just vendor all the shit except rare BOE epics that has value for Pre bis raiding. That would make lvling fast then grinding better gold/hour.

[@valentinzambelli9930]

Raids become available after 3 weeks, I don't know how that's not considered "a rush". 95% of people can not possible get to max level and get some dungeon gear within 3 weeks anyway...

[@learningagain4094]

Don't play troll mage. - Undead mages look badass but that's all they have going for them. Also some neat racial pvp buffs. - Humans generally have a nice figure in order to show-off all the armour you get. Especially late game. So if you end-up getting a full raid-set, it'll look good on your character if you play as human. You can't really go wrong with a human. - Personally I think Gnomes are the best mages since you gain racial passive for intellect and engineering, both of which are great for mages. And escape artist is a really neat racial ability for PvP. On top of that gnomes appear to run faster due to their size, which has a great psychological effect while levelling. Also a more niche and personal point, is the snowy ambience of Dun Morogh, combined with the cozy dwarven inns makes it my favorite vanilla starter zone; especially when its a fresh realm with tons of players. That's my take anyway.

[@maximecaron1969]

Depends on if you wanna play alliance or horde. Mage gnomes for pve (5% intel & Engineering Skill +15) and mage undead for pvp (Will of the Forsaken, Cannibalize) + underwater breathing is pretty fun.

[@harrynayeon4270]

@learningagain4094 thanks a Lot for the take, love what you say about the run faster animation, snowy is cozy too, Gnomes Mage lets goooo, thanks a Lot my friend

The frost bolt animation on undead males is the most satisfying animation in the game! Keep ion mind, you're going to press frostbolt a lot! And drink A lot! If you don't wanna sit and drink.... Dont play mage.

Either way, MC will be the only raid for months, so missing a few lockouts doesn't really matter. The people who clear it first week, every week, will play alts or other games when they hit a progression wall.

[@Sixi_]

while there is truth in this vid and I also have the opinion that everyone should lvl as he likes (also in terms of speed), there is this missinformation that leveling slower is better. this is simply not true. getting as fast as possible to 60 will bring you ahead in almost all scenarios. what you gather or skill professions during leveling, you will be able to do so at lvl 60, just way faster (because you have a mount, because you are higher lvl and you dont have to deal with the same dangers vs. mobs or other players). also getting 60 early will put you in a position to fight for important high lvl resourcess vs. less players because you will be one of the first at that lvl. there is a good reason some people rush to 60. And yes, this is not the only way to enjoy this game. if anyone decides to level slow, it is not to maximize gold/gear etc. it is just for the fun.

I fully support ensuring bots are eradicated. The harder it is for them to make farming bots, the higher the prices will be from higher effort to obtain the gold. That + no gdkp = a much more narrow incentive to buy gold. It’s fairly simple, a large amount of people today would rather pay to win than put in work to earn anything.
