This WoW guide is designed to help the brand new or very recent convert
wanting to learn to play World of Warcraft. Casual, inexperienced players,
baffled by the game so far, may also find it useful. WoW is arguably the best
PC game there is, and this is probably the best guide available for new
players.
I am an experienced player but one of the problems I found with the game was
finding out how to efficiently play it. The information provided by Blizzard is
mainly gloss and of little substance, although the basic initial guide has
improved appreciably. Throughout I will guide you to the best resources I
have found to-date. This took a lot of effort and a long time to
accumulate. You will learn how to quest to start with and then I will talk
about how to change how you interface with the game. It will be necessary to
change the user-interface (the tools provided to enable use of your character)
to play the game successfully
Eventually we will turn to the world of player versus player, or PvP. All
you need to know now is that playing in PvP battles is hard, which is not
surprising given that most of the people you will be playing against have been
playing for years.
When you start as a low-level character it doesn't mean you are playing on a
level playing field. Players have numerous characters at all levels of play,
but they have knowhow to boot. Don't worry you will gain that experience and
will learn about the tools people use to improve their play. It is not all
about micro-management (mouse movement and button pressing), there's a great
deal of macro involved (programming commands and using add-ons). It is
suggested that you read all the tips before you start playing, because it will
save you a lot of wasted time and effort. So please read on and enjoy what
is probably the best free World of Warcraft beginners guide.
Want to level up your characters very quickly? Then read all the tips in
this guide first!
OK, Lets get Playing (if you find this
is too basic move on to the next section)
First, choose a server (Realm). It is best to choose a realm that has a
medium size population. It's up to you whether you choose a normal, player
v player (PvP), or a role-playing realm. Make sure you know what type of
game you want to play and then make your selection. Click on this link to
the Blizzard forums for guidance: Realm
Types & Picking Your Realm , it is one of the few helpful guides
I have found on the official WoW site.
Should you be Horde or Alliance? Should you be Tauren or Blood
Elf? Should you be a Druid or a Warrior? You will see all sorts of
claims and counter claims of which is best. Blizzard will, of course, say
it is perfectly balanced.
I must say that for questing (we all must quest) I found it a lot easier to
start off as a class that can attack from range, especially one that has a pet
to protect them. So, a Hunter or a Warlock would be a good choice. Hunters
also seem to be a favourite in PvP. Be aware that you need to be careful
that your pet does not attract all the monsters when you attack. If they
do, it is unlikely you will survive. So, learn to control your pet through
the Pet Bar. It is best not to have the aggressive stance in use during
quests and sometimes it is sensible to use the stay command.
The same caution goes for some of the spells. The Warlock fear spell,
for example, is best used in PvP and Battle Grounds and not quests. If you
use it during a quest be sure that the monster's crazed running doesn't attract
its mates to help kill you : (
If you chose to be a Warrior, it's difficult to try to make sure you are
always fighting 1v1 with the baddies. If there is a chance that you will
be mobbed if you attack, try to lure the target to you. You should be able
to beat two at a time quite easily if you got one of them down to low health before
his/her mate joined in! I recommend you find a partner if you choose to
use a class like a warrior, or wait until you are far more experienced. With
tank (take a lot of damage) classes in PvP you are supposed to be constantly
moving to avoid being hit whilst hitting at the same time.
