Known for their cleaver inventions and their engineering skills the Gnomes are one of the most peculiar races in the World of Warcraft. Living together with the Dwarves in Dun Morogh the Gnomes have built the strange techno-city of Gnomeregan. Even though the Dwarves know their technology well, it’s the Gnomes that provide them with the critical and visionary designs for most of the Dwarves’ weapons and steam vehicles.

The Gnomes fought bravely with the alliance during the second war but for some reason they refused to send anyone to aid the Dwarves and Humans during the invasion of the Burning Legion.
However, later it was discovered that an ancient barbaric menace had risen from bowels of the earth and defeated Gnomeregan. Nearly half of the gnomish race was wiped out during the invasion but the rest managed to save themselves within the safety of the Dwarven city of Ironforge. Inside Ironforge the Gnomes built the Tinker Town ruled by the king of the Gnomes, High Tinker Mekkatorque. …continue reading WoW World of Warcraft Races - Gnome, Human, Night Elf
Formerly known as High Elves, the Blood Elves once resided in the Kingdom of Quel’Thalas. Sustained by the magical font, the Sunwell, High Elves were a race commanding extraordinary mystic powers. When, during the Third War, the Hoard Undead invaded Qual-Thalas, Arthas, leader of the undead corrupted the Sunwell in an arcane ritual to resurrect the lich Kel’thuzad.
The remaining high-elves, deprived of their source of energy, learned to extract magic from ambient sources. They became reliant on demonic energies, which corrupted and transformed their bodies. The alliance shunned the elves for their use of this ancient source of evil, and so the race decimated by the Horde joined their ranks to pursue the demons that initiated the conflict.
A new race to Burning Crusade, Blood Elves will start on Sunstrider Isle near Quel’Thalas
Blood Elves can choose from among these classes: Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, and Warlock.

The Skull of Impending Doom is an off-hand item that looks like a skull with horns on a stick. You can utilization this item in some very useful ways.
The Skull of Impending Doom is a reward for the Forbidden Knowledge quest (this is a series quest), you can get it as low as level 30.
The item, when held In off-hand, will give a plus 7 Intellect increase, but when used (have a 5 minute cool down) will increase your run speed by 60% for 10 sec, and will deals damage equal to 60% of your maximum health and drains 60% of your maximum mana over 10 seconds (You gain speed, but at a cost).

The first time you ever picked up a book, it was highly doubtful that you’d be able to read it. How many times did you crash into the ground before you learned how to ride a bike? The moral of the story: Nobody’s an expert right away. There have always been teachers there - in one form or another - to help us conquer our fears of spills and shortcomings. In World of Warcraft, you might experience a few minor setbacks at your first go ’round, but luckily, there’s some teaching available.
By reading this short and sweet WoW quest guide, you’ll know where to look when wondering about which quest to undertake, or where your next one may be. One of the best ways in life to learn - if not the best, hands down - is to mirror the actions of someone who’s done it all before. And with that hot nugget of priceless knowledge, let’s begin.
Many players have a hard time finding their proper quest per their designated level. And although there are several ways to locate your quests, the easiest, by far, is to simply ask someone what to do. Find some players in a group around your level. If you’re at level 12, ask someone at level 15. They’ve recently been where you’re at and should be more than happy to help. Just remember to be polite and non-demanding. …continue reading WoW Quest Guide - Short and Very Sweet
Have you seen the plethora of World of Warcraft information online? It’s literally insanity. For each and every level, every conceivable character and every individual quest, there’s some literature to be found. Needless to say, with a little research, you should never have to feel like a stranger when playing WoW. But with so many articles, programs and WoW quest guides out there, how will you know which one to read and which to ignore?
Okay, let’s start with the basics. You should never, ever drop 30 or 40 bucks for the same guide that you can find online for free. If you’re playing WoW and are having trouble locating the quests and can’t ask around or check the pages for the proper information, then you shouldn’t be playing the game anyway!
I know; it’s about more than that. A lot of WoW quest guides will have detailed, insider information about how to quickly complete the quest. It’s basically a detailed account - a walkthrough - of the mission and the dos and don’ts that lie within. Unfortunately, these are the guides that people usually slap a hefty price tag on. But if you look in the right places, like blogs, personal websites and WoW-specific web pages, you may be able to find that info for free. …continue reading WoW Quest Guides - Finding Insider Information Online
#1 when you find mobs let the tanks TANK, do not immediately launch a fireball or shadow bolt into the mobs. Let the tanks grab aggro and have at least 8 seconds to build aggro before you start with the fireworks. I can’t count how many times I have been in a party (as a warrior) and as soon as we see mobs the mage starts a fireball, and my warrior is left chasing a mob trying to get it off the squishy.
#2 when you draw aggro, RUN TOWARD THE TANK! You probably can’t get away from the mob very easily but you probably CAN get away from the tank, and you DON’T want to get away from the tank.
#3 if your healing, HEAL don’t use mana for anything except heals. I know I want to do a little damage when I am playing my priest and I often have to tell myself “it’s not your job to kill the mob!”
#4 put away your pets! Only bring them out for boss encounters. I’ve seen many a rogue pet run away and bring back half the dungeon. And worse I’m not certain why this happens, that’s why pets scare me in instances.
#5. Good DPS classes don’t just unload, they manage their hate by slowing down a little. That’s time to use your wands, unload 2 to 4 nukes and then start using your wand.
#6 Even if your not the tank, its your job to protect the rezzers, if a priest is getting hit you can ignore #5 and just unload with everything on the mob that is hitting the priest.
#7 /assist, learn how to use it, learn to love it and make a macro out of it. …continue reading WOW Combat Advice for Effective Grouping for Non-Tanks

Probably one of the more difficult spec’s a hunter can choose, being based solely on gear and skill.

A. The Rundown:
Survival Spec is definately not for everyone. If you’re after a DPS build I’d highly recommend a Beast Master Spec. If you want Silencing Shot, and a lot of Ranged Attack Power you’ll want a Marksman Spec.
Now if you’re looking for a a build that offers a little bit more then pure DPS, Survival might be what you’re looking for. With more options for versatility this build offers the greatest Crowd Control abilities. …continue reading WOW Hunter’s Guide - Survival of the Fittest
