WoW Alliance Leveling Guides

Zygor's 1-80 Alliance & Horde Leveling Guide
This is without a doubt the best leveling guide available! I've used it myself and highly recommend it. It features an in-game addon to help you along on each quest. It also gives you the order of quests to do, the location of which quest to do next, and automatically progresses as you complete the quest. It even shows you on the in-game map where to go and what to do. It is a totally in-game guide. Gone are the days of switching windows to read a leveling guide!

Tips For Mage Leveling In World Of Warcraft

Tips For Mage Leveling

When it comes to mage leveling it is helpful to know that mages are one of the greatest damage dealers in the game. Also mage leveling can be tricky at times because you either move through your talent tree effectively or you end up with things you don’t need.

Mage leveling can either go well for you, or not so well for you. I personally use a mage leveling guide, you can see my own experience with it here.

For this report I wanted to focus on mage leveling 4.0 patch and Cataclysm

With the addition of Cataclysm came some awesome buffs. It propelled the mage leveling capability. But with every great buff comes a great Nerf, and yes, it effected the mage leveling capability as well.

One thing that will affect your mage leveling capability is the way you set up your talent builds. If you are unclear about world of warcraft talent then check out this post we put together.

For mage leveling consider some of limitations that come with talent builds.

At level 10 you get to pick your first talent. When you do you are locked into your choice of specialization. There’s no more of this fire playing with frost nonsense. Until you spend 31 talent points (at level 69) you will be fire or frost or arcane. After you have spent those 31 points you are free to branch out into other areas. Note that you don’t actually have to buy the top tier talent to branch out, you just need to spend the 31 points.

Obviously this means that 31/10/0 or 31/5/5 is about as far as you’re going to get into any hybrid builds, assuming that you have any interest in hybrid builds.

Mastery is a trainable skill that you have access to upon achieving level 80. Gear will come withMastery Rating, which will increase the Mastery effect much like Crit Rating does now. Whether stacking lots of Mastery is really worthwhile, compared to crit or anything else, remains to be seen and we won’t say much about it on this page.

You no longer learn several levels of spell. You buy the spell once and it scales as you level.

Mage Leveling Tips

When it comes to mage leveling you want to make sure you begin your rotation with your opposition at maximum range wherever possible and blast away.

The best thing is to use frost to keep them from shortening that gap between you and them. You also want to have a great wand with you. If you are hord there is a wand shop in the blood elf city. This allows you to do fare amount of damage without using all your mana. Especially if you are soloing.

When you are mage leveling at lower levels this is not as important, but once you hit 81 and above it seems like everyone is hitting you like a mac truck. I am consuming tons of Food in the higher levels – Keep well stocked. Regular foods are great if you need to recover a lot of HP. Beverages keep your mana up. Your Create Water & Create Food are free, use them. You can usually find beverages that will recover more mana than the spell in certain level ranges, so grab those when appropriate, but again… the spell is free.

Mage leveling First Aid - An essential skill, too bad there isn’t a “first aid for Mana.” Keep it maxed.

Mage leveling Gold: Make sure you have plenty of it. Believe it or not people are making $500 gold an hour all day long in world of warcraft. This is the WoW farming guide I use.

Mage leveling Wands - these aren’t quite as useful as with other caster classes, since they mobs will usually be running towards you, rather than away from you (fear spells,) but if your tank is holding aggro and you’re low on mana, then wands are great.

Mage Leveling Gear - Stam, stam, and more stam. With some Int if it comes with the Stam. Get the biggest bags you can afford. Carry plenty of food and bandaids and beverages.

The below section is nearly identical for all three specializations of mage, this is due to the usage of almost entirely the same stats for any mage no matter the talent build/elemental specialization.

Mage Leveling- Number Crunching

Sell Hit – 12.6 = 1%
Spell Critical – 22.1 = 1%
Spell Penetration – 1 = 1 Lost point of Resistance
Spell Haste – 15.7 = 1%/0.025 seconds off of Global Cooldown & Spell Cast Time

Spell Damage Coefficients:

Scorch = 42.8%
Fireball = 100.0% OR 115% W/Empowered Fireball
Pyroblast = 135% (or 115% intial damage/20% over duration of DoT)

Spell Hit Cap W/ (3/3) Elemental Precision = 164 For Fire & Frost/126 (Frostbolt Only)
Spell Hit Cap W/ (5/5) Arcane Focus = 76 for Arcane
Spell Hit Cap W/ (3/3) Elemental Precision & (3/5) Arcane Focus = 126 for Frost & Arcane

Mage Leveling Spell Hit, Crit, etc.

The Numbers above detail the percentage to which each point of +Spell Damage actually effects any given spell. For instance, 1 point of spell damage does not automatically equal an increase of one damage, rather it will increase it to a percentage as listed above.

If the spell you’re looking for isn’t listed above then simply take the base casting time(without talents) and divide it by 3.5. However, a different formula will apply to AoE spells.

Defacto Priority:

Spell Hit(Until Capped) – Spell Damage OR Haste – Spell Critical

What to shoot for when entering Karazhan & Heroics:

Just to make sure you are ready for karazhan and heroics try aiming for the stats below as an absolute minimum, surpassing them however is recommended.

Spell Hit: 90

Additionally, you can downgrade these stats somewhat for the easier heroic dungeons as Karazhan is definitely more challenging than most if not all of them.

Spell Damage: 600
Spell Critical: 20%
Health: 6,000
Mana: 7,000

What to shoot for when heading into 25-Raids:

These numbers should cover you for passing Karazhan into the 25-man raiding content, statistics such as spell hit will be notably harder to achieve prior to gearing up in Karazhan & Heroics quie a bit. Otherwise if you have this or higher by the time you eclipse Karazhan you’ll be fine.

Spell Hit: 10%
Spell Damage: 800+
Spell Critical: 25% or 28% W/ Molten Armor
Health: 7,000+
Mana: 9,000

Lock Picking Guide

Lock picking is best scene as a fun tradeskill like ability that only rogues get to partake in. It’s impossible to level this very high without leveling your character but it is a fun little skill to play with as you level through the game.


How useful is it?

Lock picking has limited use but sure is handy. Obviously enough it allows you to pick any chest or lockbox in the game, however slightly lesser known it allows you to open most doors that require keys. These doors include Searing Gorge, Scarlet Monastery, Blackrock Depths, Scholomance, etc. As you go through the game you’ll have to acquire keys to get through each of these doors, but with a high lock pickings kill you’ll be able to just pick your way through and toss the keys.

Can’t Blacksmith’s lockpick?
Blacksmiths can pick locks but only with keys they have to craft. The big problem is that the keys used in lock picking take resources such as Truesilver that are in a very limited quantity. Not to mention a blacksmith’s keys can’t open very high lockboxes, Mithral, Thorium and lockboxes of the like are left exclusively for your Rogue.

Pickpocketing

As you may know by now if you pickpocket humanoids you may receive a lockbox. These lockboxes aren’t the same as ones that drop randomly that contain green items or bags. These lockboxes are specifically for the use of leveling your lock picking skill. You’ll be able to pick pocket your way through humanoids while gaining lockboxes as you progress through the game, however only a few levels of humanoids have the boxes you’ll be needing.

You see lockboxes dropped off humanoids come in tiers. Each lockbox has a designated lock picking skill requirement that is necessary to open it. For example purposes lets say you need to get from 175 lockpicking skill to 185, then you’ll need to find a certain kind of lockbox, and for this range it will be Sturdy Lockbox. The only mobs that drop study boxes are level 40-47 humanoids in various places, mainly being Ogres. You would need to pickpocket these monsters over and over to gain the Study lockboxes you need to get the points you desire.

Money as a Lock Picker

Sadly it is not customary to receive money to open chests as not a lot of Rogue’s charge for their lock picking ability. Most people want to level their lock picking so they go to a major city and offer to open picks for free. In the game’s infancy that throws the supply and demand of lock picking services way out of wack and those Rogues looking to make profit for their services are poorly rewarded. So starting a lock picking service may not make you money if you are picking for other people, but it has other benefits. Remember, there may be 300 skill chests that drop in content not yet added to the game, at that point we may see some actual payout as Rogues no longer need to level their abilities, they will be able to charge for their expertease.

Tiers of Lockpicking

Now you can level with pick pocketing or you can be patient and level efficiently through other means. Though I’m only familiar with the Alliance Rogue, I won’t be able to tell the Horde players their initial skill-up device, but if you look on the boards you shouldn’t have too much trouble. It is also worth mentioning that Horde players can use the devices mentioned below, however it may be more convenient to find closer ones that are Horde related.

The “other means” I was referring to comes in the form of unclickable chests and doors that require keys. Anything that requires a key will basically allow you to level your lock picking on it, so doors are fair game. The list located on this guide will show you what you’ll need to pick to get to 300 lock picking.

1-85
On the Alliance side you will be given a quest to venture to Alter’s Mill and practice your lock picking to obtain your Certificate of Thievery (or something like that). You’ll want to pick this lock until you reach 85 skill.

86-175
When you reach level 20 on the Alliance side, you’ll be given a quest to obtain your poisons. Within the top of the tower there is a chest that you needed to open to obtain the item for the quest. This chest will allow you to level comfortably up to 175 (though it may take some patience from 160-175). Since there is a level 26 elite mob up top, you should definitely wait till you’re high enough level to take him out safely. You’ll now be able to open various Steel Lockboxes.

175-185
This is the painful pick pocketing part that you will have to endure. Currently there is no other means of leveling this stretch on the Alliance side, so you’ll have to get 10 sturdy lockboxes from 40-47 Ogres in Tanaris. Since the drop rate is really random, just be prepared to sit there for a while as you collect your 10 lockboxes.

185-250
I particularly enjoyed this stretch because it takes you into Scarlet Monastery to pick the doors. The doors outside the instance are on a timer and you can only pick them once every few minutes to get a skill up, however the doors on the inside (near Herod and leading to the cathedral) are always available. The only trick to picking the locks inside the instance is that you’ll need to reset the instance by joining a new group after you every pick. I didn’t bother with Herod’s doors I just grinded on the cathedral doors while getting the chest on the right hand side and killing the High Inquisitioner. You can farm so many greens so fast, you’ll be an enchanters best friend. Preferably you’ll want to be level 50+ to pick these locks because you’ll need a complete lack of agro range to pick safely without getting into a fight. So just join new groups, be it allegiance or non-allegiance to get inside the instance to reset it (have your friends invite you) and grind the door to the cathedral then exit and pick the locks outside the instance in hopes that the timer has reset. It’ll take a few hours and remember to go in with a barren inventory, you’ll need the space with all the greens you’ll be looting off the chests and High Inquisitioner. After this stretch you’ll be able to unlock Mithral boxes.

250-280
There are a handful of ways to do this stretch but none are as quick and painless as the previous methods. One thing to remember is that you can always pick the Searing Gorge gates for 2 points quickly. I think they may be on a timer so you may have to occupy yourself in Searing Gorge after every pick. A common practice is opening locks in a major city to get a skill up. While I don’t necessarily enjoy the means because it is time-intensive and hard to sometimes its hard to find someone to give you the box to get the skill up, it does get some points over time. The way I leveled through this stretch was I getting my Guild to send their boxes over to me for a week, it didn’t take long before I had my 280 and I was good to go. When you hit 280 you should be able to open Thorium boxes as well as any boxes currently in the game.

280-300
Talk about easy, easy, easy. Just go into Blackrock Depths, hit the gate on the left, the door past it and the next door for a quick 3 points. Leave the instance, regroup and reset it, and re-enter to get 3 more points. These 20 points should take 10-15 minutes tops considering you have friends to reset the instance and you’re at lvl 60 to get to 300 skill. When you hit 300 you can now navigate Scholomance without a key.

Conclusion
Though lock picking is limited use, it’s a fun thing to level especially when you’ve hit the higher levels and you need a break from questing. I think the most valuable aspect is that it showed me that I could use my rogue to supply my enchanter with items found in Scarlet Monastery. Hello Vision Dust!

I’d like to give a quick thanks to Aethix for all the help as we leveled our lockpicking together on Whisperwind. Thanks Vince

During gameplay, you can run into a profession trainer and he/she will teach you the ways of their talent. You can only choose 2 professions, and these are permanent, so choose very carefully.

He is a little run down of how you should pick: Skinning & Leather Working-You can skin monster you kill, then use the skin you get and make armor to sell or wear. Mining & Blacksmiting- Mine minerals, then use them for armor, weapons and other items.(Mining good with engineering also) Alchemist & Herbalist- Get plants from exploring, then use them to make potions. Fishing & Cooking-Catch fish, then cook 'em and eat 'em!(Fishing goes with alchemy a little also) Other professions arn't really combos with another profession.

Also, there are 3 specific professions that can be learned and they will not take up one of the two permanent slots. They are: First Aid-Make Bandages and heal after battles. Cooking-Cook your fish and such to get more health from them. Fishing-Fish for free food!

Tailoring 1-300 Guide

This guide will show you how to get your tailoring skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 275 and vendor available recipe's from 275 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require cloth and vendor bought material (thread, dye). The only exceptions are the vendor bought recipe's to get to 300 which require rugged leather. The leather needed is easily acquired through skinning or the auction house.

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guild members.


Preparation

You are going to need a lot of linen and wool cloth and huge amounts of silk, mageweave and runecloth. Create an alt storage character to store these amounts of cloth and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the cloth needed. Use the in game mail system to send the cloth to the storage character. You may need more than one storage character. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the cloth back. Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e the linen cloth are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the wool, silk, etc.

The recipe's used require vendor bought components such as threads and dye. These cost gold. To learn recipe's from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is approximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the cloth. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 250 gold. This does not include gold for recipe's from vendors or the auction house.

Below is a table that shows the amount of cloth needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you make something so you won't always get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of cloth. If you are buying all the cloth you need from the auction house, I suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed. The numbers in the estimated amount column are rounded up to full stacks of whatever the component stacks up to.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount
Linen Cloth 140 (7 stacks) 160 (8 stacks)
Wool Cloth 165 (9 stacks) 200 (10 stacks)
Silk Cloth 700 (35 stacks) 760 (38 stacks)
Mageweave Cloth 450 (23 stacks) 520 (26 stacks)
Runecloth 750 (38 stacks) 900 (45 stacks)
Rugged Leather 90 (10 stacks) 120 (12 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50

Getting from 1 to 50 seems easy enough. Making a bolt of linen cloth greys out at 50, so it looks like this is the easiest way to get to 50. However, since making a bolt of linen cloth becomes yellow at 25 and green at 37, you will most likely make much more bolts than needed to get from 50 and further.
Getting from 50 and further requires at least 70 bolts of linen cloth, so lets make those first and set those aside. If you haven't reached 50 yet, make a bolt of linen cloth and then a linen belt. The linen belt will give a skill point. Repeat this until 50.
Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Tailor. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.
Skill Item From - To
1 Bolt of Linen Cloth 1 - 50 (50)
15 Linen Belt 45 - 50 (5) Getting from 50 to 125

First use the bolts of linen cloth set aside earlier to get to 75. Make linen bags to get from 50 to 70. Make the reinforced linen cape to get to 75.

There are two other recipe's that can be used to get from 50 to 70, the heavy linen gloves and the reinforced linen cape. These recipe's are cheaper in components than the linen bag, but since the bag sells for more silver at a vendor (2 silver for the bag versus 29 copper for the gloves and 67 copper for the cape) and you have to make a lot of bolts to get to 50 anyway, I decided to go for the linen bag so you can recoup a bit more of the money you lose wasting material.

At 75 you can train to make bolt of woolen cloth. Bolt of woolen cloth greys out at 105. To get from 105 to 125 you need at least 55 bolts of woolen cloth, so lets make those and see how far we get.

If you haven't reached 105, make 1 bolt of woolen cloth and then make a woolen cape until you do reach 105.

Now use the 55 bolts of woolen cloth made earlier and make gray woolen shirts until 110 and double-stitched woolen shoulders to get from 110 to 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Tailor. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.
Skill Item From - To

45 Linen Bag 50 - 70 (20)
60 Reinforced Linen Cape 70 - 75 (5)
75 Bolt of Woolen Cloth 75 - 105 (25)
75 Woolen Cape 100 - 105 (5)
100 Gray Woolen Shirt 105 - 110 (5)
110 Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders 110 - 125 (15)

Getting from 125 to 200

At 125 you can make bolt of silk cloth, which greys out at 145. Since you're going to need at least 175 bolts of silk cloth for your skill up recipe's you will most likely reach 145 with that, so lets make those bolts of silk cloth. Make azure silk hoods to get from 145 to 160, silk headbands to get from 160 to 170 and formal white shirts to get from 170 to 175.

At 175 you can make bolt of mageweave which greys out at 185. Later on you're going to need at least 90 bolts of mageweave, so lets make those bolts. This should get you to 185 easily.

Now back to silk. Make Crimson Silk Vests to get from 185 to 200. Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Tailor.

You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Skill Item From - To
125 Bolt of Silk Cloth 125 -
145 (20) 145 Azure Silk Hood 145 -
160 (15) 160 Silk Headband 160 - 170 (10)
170 Formal White Shirt 170 - 175 (5)
175 Bolt of Mageweave 175 - 185 (10)
185 Crimson Silk Vest 185 - 200 (15)

Getting from 200 to 275

First make some more crimson silk vests to get from 200 to 205 and crimson silk pantaloons to get to 215.

Make black mageweave leggings or vests to get from 215 to 220, black mageweave gloves to get from 220 to 230 and black mageweave headbands or shoulders to get from 230 to 250.

At 250 you can make bolts of runecloth, which greys out at 260. Make bolts of runecloth until you reach 260 skill and use those to make runecloth belts.

The runecloth belt recipe becomes yellow at 270, so you should be able to reach 275 using this recipe.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 200 to 275.
Skill Item From - To
185 Crimson Silk Vest 200 - 205 (5)
195 Crimson Silk Pantaloons 200 - 215 (5)
205 Black Mageweave Leggings or Black Mageweave Vest 215 - 220 (5)
215 Black Mageweave Gloves 220 - 230 (10)
230 Black Mageweave Headband or Black Mageweave Shoulders 230 - 250 (20)
250 Bolt of Runecloth 250 - 260 (10)
255 Runecloth Belt 260 - 275 (15)

Getting from 275 to 300
Although the rune cloth belt recipe greys out at 300 I wouldn't use this recipe to skill up to 300, because the amount of rune cloth needed would be huge and thus expensive.

Below is a table with recipe's available from different vendors. These are limited availability recipe's, so you need some luck getting them, but i think they are much more useful in getting your skill to 300.

Of course there are plenty of dropped recipe's that can get you to 300, but getting those require even more luck than with the vendor available recipe's or spending some money at the auction house.

Make runecloth bags to get to 280 and runecloth gloves to get to 300. Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in tailoring.

This table shows the different recipes that are available through vendors to get from 275 to 300.

Skill Item From - To
260 Runecloth Bag 275 - 280 (5)
275 Runecloth Gloves 280 - 300 (20)

This table shows who and where the different vendors are for the previously mentioned recipe's. The vendors are neutral to both Horde and Alliance.

What Who Where

Runecloth Bag Qia Ever look in Winter spring Runecloth Gloves Qia Everlook in Winter spring

This table shows the material needed to get from 270 to 300.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Runecloth 525 (27 stacks) 700 (35 stacks)
Rugged Leather 90 (9 stacks) 120 (12 stacks)

Some advice on arena

The way Blizzard describes the arena can be a little confusing, so I wanted to make it a bit clearer here.

Terminology Rank- How your team compares to other teams. If you are "rank 1", you are the best team in your battle group.

Rating- Your team's "score". More on this later. If you have a rating of 1, your team is the worst team on the server (and ever created).

Arena Points- The points you earn to buy things from the arena vendor. These are NOT accumulated the same way as honor: kills or wins don't matter. They are converted straight from your rating.

Mechanics :

The arena works very simply. Players fight against other players in 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5 brackets. The team who wins has its rating go up, while the team who loses has theirs go down. If a strong team defeats a weak team, their increase is small. However, if a weak team beats a strong team, their increase is tremendous (while the strong team loses a lot). Teams can consist of up to twice the amount of minimum players needed to participate (2v2 can have at max 4, 3v3 at max 6, 5v5 at max 10).

Points Earned:

Points are acquired at the end of the week based on your team rating (see above).

Things that do affect points earned:

Your rating (based on your team's wins and losses against whatever ranked opponents).

Things that don't affect points:
Number of Players on your team
Matches played (past 10).

One interesting note is that points are NOT summated from bracket to bracket (i.e., if you're in three active arena teams -one for each division- your points are only taken from the team that would earn the most points). Another good point about points is that they do NOT decay. You can leave for a week, a month or even a year and still have the same amount of points as you did when you left. However, you cannot stockpile points past 5k. This is to prevent players from stockpiling points at the end of one arena season so that they may buy alot of the new gear released at the start of the next season. And while we're on that:

Seasons:
Seasons are like baseball seasons, except instead of just bringing about new rounds of competition they also bring out new pvp rewards. These are blizzard's way of being able to reward newer prizes as the game progresses, always providing more and more incentive to go into the arena.

How to Play:
Besides learning EVERYTHING about your class (including other tactics that you wouldn't normally use since all of your cool downs under or at 10 minutes are available in arena combat) you need to learn how to actually play the arena. Unlike other PVP areas, time played does not equal points returned. Each team starts with a rating of 1500. Each victorious game brings your rating up, while each losing game brings your rating down. A good strategy is to play and win just enough games to get your rating to 2000 and stop. This is because at 2000, you have a very small chance of going up, but a very large one of going down. This usually takes most teams about 9-10 wins. Also, if you're having an off week and losing a lot, your team should stop playing after hitting 1000 as you don't want to go any lower. Either way, to get points you have to participate in at least 30% of the arena battles your team plays in(to prevent free loaders). Finally, 5v5 teams gain more points than 2v2 teams do (about 80% more actually). Since points are not summated, if you are playing on a decent 5v5 team you shouldn't even waste your time in 2v2 play. An additional note someone pointed out is that ratings are carried over week to week: in other words, if your team finishes one week with a 2000 rating, you start the next with a 2000 rating. So, you want to perform your very best in the minimum number of games you need to play (10) so as you don't lose you’re rating. If you do happen to sink under, remember to keep going for 2000. Either way, always try to stop playing when your rating is around 2000 as its very easy to go lower but hard to get any higher.

So as you can see, the arena requires more than just being good at your class: you also have to know how it works.

Finish each week with a 2000 rating, and you can generally have full arena gear within 3-4 months (about the time it takes to get full raiding gear anyway).

Hope this helps some people confused over it

Crafting Leatherworking 1-200

k, first off, leatherworking is a resource hog. I spent a grip of gold power leveling this profession just to 200. We will start with an itemization based on the items I used to get to 200. As always, your mileage may vary and these are not my hard numbers used to get to 200. These numbers are what you should expect to consume during the leveling process.

Light leather: 255 (sure seemed like more)
Medium leather: 160
Heavy leather: 200

Light hide: 0
Medium hide: 25
Heavy hide: 20

Course thread: 150
Fine thread: 65
Silken thread: 10

Grey dye: 20
Green dye: 10

Salt: 85

Now that you have all your consumables, it’s time to start crafting ….and crafting….and CRAFTING.

1-30: Light armor kits
30-40: Light leather quiver
40-50: Light armor kit
50-55: Hand stitched leather boots
55-90: Embossed leather gloves
90-100: Fine leather belt
100-115: Medium armor kit
115-125: Dark leather boots
125-135: Dark leather belt
135-150: Hillman’s shoulders
150-180 Heavy armor kit
180-190: Green leather bracers
190-200: Guardian gloves

All the items I chose to grind on were either with resale in mind (to offset the cost of mats) or pure skill ups. I’ll go over each item and detail my reason for choosing it.

Light armor kits: No brainer. They take 1 light leather and are yellow all the way to 50. They sell ok on the AH too.

Light leather quiver: These take 2 light leather and 1 course thread. Every hunter wants (or should want) one so resale is great. They are orange to 40 so take the guaranteed skill up.

Light armor kits: We go back to light armor kits because it’s just smart due to the minimal resources. It’s yellow but if you’re on a budget it’s the way to go.

Handstitched leather boots: Filler item just to get to 55. Vendor trash.

Embossed leather gloves: Good for grinding because of the low resources used. More vendor trash

Fine leather belt: Another grey grinder to get to 100. **DONÂ’T VENDOR THESE** (YouÂ’ll see why in a bit)

Medium armor kits: Just like light armor kits, they are reasonable on the resources and will sell on the AH.

Dark leather boots: Filler item. Vendor trash

Dark leather belt: THIS is the reason we kept those fine leather belts. Almost no resources (minus the hide) and these things sell well on the AH. I put 4 up at 50s and they all sold first time. I’m betting you can get more.

HillmanÂ’s shoulders: The perfect grinding item. Reasonable resources and they sell very well. These shoulders are the first decent green for an up and coming rogue/feral druid. DE is also an option but you’ll do better to AH them.

Heavy armor: Same as light and medium armor kits. AH them or give them out to guilders.

Green leather bracers: Nothing exciting about these. Crappy stats but the best option for leveling at this point. I recommend DE for the vision dust/GME

Guardian gloves: Vendor trash.

Well, there you have it. Leatherworking 1-200 with full itemization. This is not the be all end all of LW grinding but more of a guide for those looking for a quick, semi-painless way to power level. These are many other patterns that sell well while you’re climbing the LW ladder. Give those a try if you’re skilling up while you level your character.

· There are also some addons that Blizzard doesn't like, as they consider some of them cheating, and they will ban your account for these. Most of the addon sites will tell you up front if Blizzard doesn't like these, since it doesn't do them or their site any good to get your account banned. So, if a site tells you that an addon isn't liked by Blizzard, it's best not to download it.
· Also, last but not least you must pay attention to the site where you are downloading your addons from since some players make addons or implement code into an existing addon that is used to steal your account. It is recommended that you always do a virus scan with any file you download not just WoW addons. Better safe than sorry! With that said you will be fine downloading from the above sites since these sites are authority sites but it never hurts to scan a file just in case.

WoW Arena Guide - Form An Effective Arena Team

· The Burning Crusade brought on yet another fun and challenging area for PvP'ers in the World of Warcraft – the Arena. This complete PvP environment allow you and up to 4 other players to band together to defeat a team from the opposite faction. And, for those who are already avid PvP'ers, this is a dream come true. For those who aren't, it's their chance to learn what it takes to become a great PvPer.
· Those who are new to the PvP world need to get a bit of practice in under their belt before they head into the arena.
· The best way to do this is to PvP in game. So, head out into your realm, flag your character, and have fun with PvP on other players in your realm.
· This will help you gain experience fighting and help you learn the right tactics for your specific toon. While you may get creamed your first time or two, you'll swiftly learn what it takes to become good at PvP.
· Once you have a bit of experience under your belt, you can start to select your team members. Arena teams are formed in twos, threes, fours, or fives, and while most people assume that 5x5 is the way to go, you need to remember that there will be 5 opposing faction members there as well. There are some classes that are better suited for the arena than others and you need to consider this as well when you are going into a battle.
· For example, a priest isn't well suited for the arena since they have a small amount of hit points and the other players will attack them first – knock out the healer, knock out the group. So, for a healer, a shaman is better suited for combat and healing situations to help the entire team out.
· Warriors and Paladins are always great choices because they can jump in and tank to help take out some of the other stronger players in the arena. Both of these characters carry a phenomenal amount of damage and hit points, and you should have at least one or two on your 5x5 arena team.
· Hunters and Warlocks are two other classes that are great for the arena. Both have pets that can also be used to help attack and kill other players, and the warlock has many great affliction and curse spells that can help to slow and subdue the other side. The hunter will have better hit points than a warlock, but with the buffs and potions that are available to any player, a warlock can bulk up before hand.
· Rogues are a great addition, as they have stealth abilities and can easily strike first without being detected. You must be careful though, other warlocks can sense invisibility, and your rogue can be caught in a compromising situation if you aren't careful.
·
· Mages are another casting class that can do a great amount of damage over time to an opposing player. They also have the great ability to freeze and sheep other players, which can help to immobilize them so they cannot attack the group.
· When you select your arena team members, you should know if they are skilled at PvP or not. If not, then they don't have the skills needed to be a great PvPer for your arena team. A great way to see how the team will fight together is to group up and flag yourselves. Then, head into an instance or opposing faction area and see how you do. The more practice you have with each other, the better you will become. This way, you will also be able to define which roles everyone plays – caster, tank, healer, and so on.
· When you think that you are ready, have all your equipment repaired and have the best possible equipment that you can. You should also have all buffs on and ready before you step into the arena, as you won't have time once the fighting starts. Basically, before you head into the arena with a team, you simply need to make sure that you select smart when you are putting your team together. By selecting smart, you will come out victorious in your arena adventures.
