WoW advice

pick your professions early. Start thinking about where you want to spend your talent points in the end so that you dont have to pay to respec, because you didn't plan ahead ( i learned that the hard way). Work on your stam/agil/int in that order.

QFT, not planning out your talents ahead of time is one of the most common mistakes of WoW noobies. i forgot the link, but theres a page on the WoW website that lets you plan out your talents.
 
You can respec for only 1g the first time. The price increases for each respec but after a month the price resets one level.

It's better to spec for soloing till you reach higher levels.
 
Poke around on WoW forums and talent guides for different hunter specs. Generally lvl 60 builds are quite different than leveling builds, plus you may want to re-spec from PvE to PvP later anyway. One gold won't matter at 60 so don't worry about your final build now.

Also if you start running low on quests at a given level you can always go to another race's zone(s) and do the quests there too.
 
Have fun and don't worry so much about leveling. It took me 23 days of in game time to get to 60 (which I got yesterday), and that is fine, I had fun along the way. I have spent over 1000g already, I spent 400g on 2 weapons at level 45, only to get rid of them at level 50, but it was good, they kicked ass for 5 levels.
 
Do your homework and find a spec for grinding/leveling. On my rogue the spec for grinding (combat) was totally different than my PVP spec. Make sure you get your proffessions up early~!
 
if you are going to do a gathering profession (skin, mine, herb), start it right away. it is alot easier to level those professions as you level. i hated puttering around westfall looking for peacebloom at level 60
 
Check out wowwiki.com for talent builds. They house the more popular 'cookie cutter' specs.
 
OMG this is the nerdiest thread of the century.......can i borrow 3g?
 
Enjoy the game, don't view it as a grind from 1-70. I would do RFC (ragefire chasms) at 15 and work your way up to WC (Walling Caverns). Instances are fun when you're with other people trying to beat down a boss.
 
My advice is take your time and enjoy the game. Don't get into the mindset of grind grind grind all the way till 70. Also, decide if you want to be on a PvP server or a PvE server early on to cancel the need of rerolling and regreting it.
 
I actually advise against getting into professions early. They are a waste of time for me, and a huge money sink. I got into crafting in FFXI, but WoW hasn't really interested me in that aspect. Having 4 level 60's, and just dinging 70, there was only one time I took a profession; tailoring, for bags. Other than that, I always go First Aid, especially if you're a melee kind of guy, always taking damage.

As the other folks said, definitely map out your talent points on a talent calculator first before using them.
 
Man this sucks, my rogue is 63 rested way into 64, but i've been very busy with my home business. No time to play and the guild is getting ready to start raiding :-(
 
If you want money, get into gathering professions (mining/skinning/herbalism), but don't dump your stuff into leveling up crafting professions (blacksmithing/eng/leatherworking/etc).

Why not? High level alchemists can make a killing selling various pots in the AH.
 
for hunter go Beast Master talents all the way. it's the best leveling spec. keep your pet current in it's training. go w/ a cat if you want it to be an offensive pet (high damage, lower armor), bear or boar for defense(high armor w/ decent damage) or go wolf or carrion bird for a middle road pet.

for your gear, agility is key. you want as much agility as possible so that you can increase your crit chance and your armor(gets transfered to pet). agility is even more important than armor rating/stamina because your pet will be your tank. if you're fighting a mob and it ends up attacking you, then you aren't playing your pet properly. growl is very important for aggro, so make sure you have it up to date and active all the time.

learn your shot rotations. autoshot will shoot at the rate of your gun/bow (lets say 2.0). so, every 2.0 your ranged weapon will go off. you can shoot inb etween those shots(during it's cooldown) w/ your specials (stings, multishot, arcane). if you time it properly it won't interrupt your autoshooting and you'll maximize your damge. example: arcane, auto, sting, auto, multi, auto, etc.

fast weapons will give you more, but smaller, crits. this will help when you do BM because there is an ability that will give your pet 50 focus for every crit you make. eventually you will want to go MM for raiding, thats when you want a slower weapon for massive crit damage.

train dual wield and use whichever weapons give the most agility. make an effort to keep your weapon skills up to date.

learn how to use your traps, they will save your life often.

have fun!

Whoops, :D. I actually meant "I actually advise against getting into professions early. They are a waste of time for me, and a huge money sink."

This is not in stone, if you are willing to spend alot of time "whoring" out your crafting services you can make huge cash.
