Understanding the Game

Hello guys so ehm this is my first time playing on x1 xp server like Lordaeron,i've never played original Wow and i'm not as Hardcore as you guys are,the point of this conversation is that i lack some experience of the game i mean i played Cata and Mop On Warmane,and my first time playing wow was on Deathwing Warmane server about 2 years ago then i constantly switched realms or i just stopped playing but i get back after 3 or 4 months, i barely did any dungeons and i usually got my gear from Ah or Point Shop and i've never been into a raid(Because i was playing on fast lvlimg servers)And now i came here to ask for help i'm currently level 34 on Lordaeron i know what should i do Like Questing Doing Dungeons and getting professions to get gold but what do you suggest me to do since i'm new to this Hardcore server i mean what should i do right now(I can't kill myself) and what should i do when i hit 80 because usually when i hit max lvl on wow i stick with my charachter for few days then i del him and i semd gold to my new one just because i like leveling the most and then i quit wow and i come back again in like 4 months lol thanks for reading my story and i hope you can suggest me some things and give me a nice guide Thank you for your patience and Have a nice day.

First of all its not really a hardcore server, its just....normal. For many of us we did this all back in the day and overall we for the most part enjoyed it. I can only hope new players and players like yourself that have played on increased xp servers aren't to overwhelmed as I assure you it does get easier. I just turn on some music or youtube videos and zone out and before i know it i've skipped several levels. It really isn't that hard, just a bit time consuming.

Just...wow, you delete your toon when you hit endgame? O.O You do know there is like a whole 'nother game at max level, right? Endgame isn't about getting levels, but increasing your gear and truly mastering your class and the game as even on a x1 server, leveling is the easiest part.

I would like to suggest giving endgame a real chance. Once 80 you need to start working on your toons item level (gearscore) and you can do this a few ways. For example; you can find factions that you're at least honored with like Son's of Hodir, Ebon Blade, etc and buy some nice blue items off of them, you can also work on your crafting, once your crafting is around 400 you should be able to make some nice blue gear that can help lift your gearscore, also icecrown quest are a really good way and then there's High Level Dungeons like Utgard Pennicle, Halls of Light/stone, The culling of Strathholm, etc and gear from quest or boss drops will greatly help you out and then you start on heroics.

And you basically do the samething and until you're around 3000 gearscore or so and you can start working on clearing naxx and OS and you do that until Uldaur comes out and if you're bored in off hours you can level alts or make gold, farm pets and mount, etc.

and that's bacially how wow works. Hope this helped and good luck.

Why do you lie the man about that part ? Maybe it wasnt intended because you havent reached that part of the game so i will not blame you

So at 3000 gs you will just begin clearing some of the harder heroic dungeons but it will be already easier for you to find groups unlike at 2200 gs which will ne the gear you will probably have when you just reach 80 lvl (i had 2080gs when i hitted 80 as tank so i began with Nexus HC with that gs it was just about doable but only if the rest were very good geared) at 3500 gs you will be able to go to VOA 25 (maybe before that if you lie that you are 3.5 and the leader doesnt bother to replace you)
In Os you will get at 3600 gs (around 50% of the pugs manage to finish OS acording to my observations), NAX at 3700 gs you are in but if you go with a pug you will kill 1-2 bosses max and after 2-4 wipes it will be raid over often you wont even kill a single boss, EoE with pug - never happened on lord

actually I'll correct you on this and point out i'm not lying. I personally was around 2.5k gs and clearing all heroics on my Dpriest as none of them are actually hard at all. Wotlk Heroics were never, EVER hard. Cata 4.0 had a lot more fun heroics then Wrath ever had, because at least in cata you had to pay attention, in Wrath I watch Youtube videos and read forums while barely paying attention to what's going on in my party.

Now here's the catch and the one thing you missed, I said, "around 3000 gs or so". I didn't mean 3k gs on the dot, and VoA10/OS10 are incredibly easy and can be done around 3k gs and Naxx 10 can be started at around 3.2 to 3.3 gs, sure you won't clear it every week, but it's a fair item level to start out raiding on.

Don't delete your characters. That's plenty of playtime you're putting into each - why waste it? You're not even making a fraction of the gold or achievements you can make as a geared 80 with maxed professions. It's like going through the whole journey and then turning when you see the city sign and going back home to start all over again - I see that the journey is more to you than the destination, but still there's no use deleting characters. Keep gearing your main and keep them so that you have a backup; a helper if something goes wrong - an ally ganking you or something like that. You'll get into dungeons and raiding and you'll start liking your main and get attached to it. What I do is roll alts in such a way that I can eventually cover all roles - DPS, tank, healer - and I try to keep them all at approximately the same gear level at 80. Often one of them gets focused on PvP - the one which I enjoy PvPing the most with - while the others are PvE-oriented.
