| I have compiled a list of the most import | | | | in the game and they're taking the time out |
| things every World of Warcraft player should | | | | of their busy schedule to help you. The least |
| know and follow. I have broken it down and | | | | you can do use their services. I don't even |
| listed what I think is the top five.1.) Read | | | | think they get paid!3.) Every trade skill has |
| your Quest JournalNow we hate to snipe here, | | | | a complement.Players can only learn two |
| people, but the "L" key on your keyboard | | | | "professional" trade skills (Fishing, |
| opens up your Quest Journal. This handy | | | | Cooking, First Aid and a few others). Be |
| little item contains literally all the | | | | aware that with the exception of Enchanting |
| information you need to solve whatever quest | | | | and Tailoring, every trade skill has a |
| your given. Check it early and check it often | | | | "gathering" skill and a "crafting" skill. |
| because if you're cluttering up the "General" | | | | Blacksmithing, for example, requires raw |
| chat channel asking "Where's the Wailing | | | | materials that can only be retrieved by |
| Caverns?" 47 times not only will you learn | | | | Mining. Be sure you select the appropriate |
| all sorts of new Azerothian insults, but when | | | | skill; otherwise you will end up buying raw |
| you eventually find the place, it's not going | | | | materials at auction or trying to trade your |
| to win you any friends when you start looking | | | | raw materials for finished goods.4.) The Num |
| for a group to explore with. Your Quest | | | | Lock key is your auto run.This should be |
| Journal has directions so precise they make | | | | obvious, but you'd be surprised how many |
| MapQuest look vague. So to avoid this | | | | players forget to use their auto run. Auto |
| situation just read your Quest Journal.2.) | | | | run is your best friend. During long runs you |
| The City Guards are your friends - use them | | | | can be checking your quest log, your |
| well.This is kind of an adjunct to the whole | | | | inventory, or chatting with friends. Use |
| "Read your Quest Journal" thing, but the | | | | it!5.) Control your Pets!This, of course, |
| other thing that clogs up the general chat | | | | only applies to pet classes (Warlocks and |
| channels is people asking for directions in | | | | Hunters), but if we had a gold piece for |
| the hub cities. Fortunately Blizzard has come | | | | every Warlock and Hunter who left his pet on |
| up with a simple solution - just ask a city | | | | "Aggressive" we would all have a lot of gold |
| guard! They'll give you directions to | | | | pieces. Your pets are tools. They're used for |
| everything in the city and even provide you | | | | very specific purposes. Putting them on |
| with a little flag in your mini-map! You | | | | Aggressive lets them attack indiscriminately |
| know, the employment situation in Azeroth | | | | and can draw a lot more monster attention |
| must be pretty bad when you consider that | | | | than your group is ready to deal with. All |
| most of these guards are level 75 or so and | | | | too often a pet on the loose means death for |
| can easily wipe out virtually every monster | | | | the group and a long, boring corpse run. |
