Isn't this thread supposed to be about the new content announced?

This "planning" isn't really possible when you're a reroll hitting 60 two days before the xpac and a tailor/enchanter.

I'm very sorry but all everyone's "solutions" involve sacrificing significant other portions of the game in order to start earning your money. Drop your professions. Level an alt. Go respec. Or my favorite, "you should've saved money at 60", as if there aren't a ton of Draenei/Blood Elf out there already.

I'll admit I'm bad with cash, but even assuming I make twice as much as I said... 100g an hour. I can't even imagine 50 hours of farming.

Rant over... back on topic.

I guess it varies a little bit based on your class and how you levelled. Personally, I started TBC with nothing (I only got 150 riding skill a month or so before the expansion, which cleaned me out, and then I went on holiday for three weeks). I had 1800g at 70, just by not wasting my money on BOE blues, and dinged 70 in Nagrand because of all the XP I'd earned in instances. Blade's Edge, Netherstorm and Shadowmoon were worth about 1000g each to me.

Sure, I had sort of planned it that way after I hit level 62 or so though - but I didn't have to grind a cent. If you save your quests up for when you hit 70, you will make an absolute fortune.

Edit: And to put this back on topic, the new announced content should be a new fund of gold from questing for those looking to improve their financial situation.

Woohoo!

More world PvP!

Its time to finish levelling up my alts and pumping my warlock full of cash.

Silithus boss ganking was a highlight of the era. Nothing like costing another guild lots of gold in an instant.

Well this certainly has gotten off track since it was posted last night.

Anyways, Ogri'la? Anyone else think it will have a sort of Japanese/Asian theme to it a la Shangrala?

Japanese orges? Might be interesting.

Let's not talk about hunters

Are you honestly complaining about paladins and ranged attacks? What about all the rogues out there that have to be in melee range? Do you think we use our bows to pull mobs?

Making gold in TBC is a joke in itself entirely. I'm not an Alt kind of guy but if you do have one take on one of the other peoples suggestions and don't do any quests until 66 or so and just run blood furnace. Once you do that go back and do ALL the quests and you will have more gold than you know what to do with.

As for a solo reputation grind, I would LOVE to have another one of those. All my downtime now is spent farming herbs and running instances for chests. Another Cenarion type rep grind would be great. I did it with a warrior friend of mine over 3 days or so. This was also before all the quests were fixed and he gave you random ones to do.

I really liked Lost Horizon, so I'm hoping for at least a few good references. "Moderation in all things, including moderation"

I wonder if they'll release new 5-10 man instances or just start developing new 25 man's from here on out.

I don't think a new 5 man came out in Vanilla after DM/Mara.

Repeek · 04/10/07, 3:32 PM

I worry that Blizz is lumping all thier eggs in one basket with this patch. They're stalling things which need immediate fixes (anti-melee mobs, trash respawns, epic reitemization, trade skill fixes) to be released at a much later date along with non-pressing content such as Black Temple (provided you need tempest keep/SSC lvl gear to compete in BT.

Dralmoo · 04/10/07, 4:23 PM

They always do that. For example, the Mage + Shaman talent revamps were in the same giant content patch as Naxx, along with dozens of other fixes.

Wow, I thought my suggestion of not turning in quests AFTER 68 until you hit 70 would be considered rough for people. You're suggesting a person run Blood Furnace from 60-66? Sure you'd have money when you went back, but you'd also be slicing your wrists.

Agreed on the wrist slicing. Also I don't see how you would get any more money, you need to be max level to get the exp->gold conversion.

Ramparts/Blood Furnace until you're honored (61/62 most likely) then do Hellfire in between Slave Pens/Underbog until honored (64/65, maybe 66). Then do Zangramarsh while grabbing Crypts and Halls runs until honored- once you hit that, finish out your questing in Terokkar/Nagrand.

At the end you'll be spitting distance to revered with HH/CE/LC, honored with Consortium, and geared with great gear to start the level 70 instances. Hell I started Shadow Labs at 68, Steam Vaults at 69 and finished my Kara key pieces the day I hit 70.... took another day to find a decent BM group to finish it.

At the end you've got a VERY well factioned and geared alt (great for professions!) and most of 3-4 zones left for questing gold.
