WotLK Best way to spend coins?

[owlkinhooter]

I'm planning to make a donation and it seems minimum amount is 20 bucks.

1) What is the best way to spend 20 coins in the store? I mostly play PvE on Wotlk IceCrown realm.
2) Is there a way I can donate more or less than 20 dollars (so I can match the price of purchase)?
3) Is 20 dollar donation enough to become a premium account?

1) Get a good heroic trinket or weapon, make sure to use the discount we got for New Year here: https://www.warmane.com/account
2) There's set amounts of donations, they vary by country. 10 is the minimum in most places and also the minimum to be considered "premium" and allow queue skip. You can't change the donation in such specific amounts, you'll have to pick presets.
3) Yes.

One option is that BiS trinket/weapon as Thorbjorn mentioned. On long term it's smart decision.

Another option is to get gold (or BoE's) with coins. Buy yourself set of BoE's to boost your GS, so that you don't spend week or two painfully farming yourself into ****ty ICC10/25's. Rest of the gold goes to enchants, gems and professions.

I'm super new and I don't know what those fancy abbreviations mean...
I should get a set of BoE?
But what's BoE? (Is it gear? Food? Emblems?)

Oh, and I have another question, can I somehow get a 11~15% discount coupon please? I want to buy 23 coin worth of item with 20 coins :)

BoE stands for Binds-on-Equip type of gear. Such gear is mostly crafted from professions, drops from certain trash mobs in dungeons/raids and rarely as a boss drop. Since they bind to your character only when you equip it they can be sold in AH for gold. Usually, gear is BoP (binds-on-pick up).

Check if you have a coupon available on the link I provided, it will look like this: If you don't have a coupon you didn't create your account in time and now it's too late.


To further elaborate, your choices are:
1. Buy BoP trinket/weapon that is a rare boss drop (heroic version) [make sure to google a guide or some BiS (best--in-slot) list to determine which trinket/weapon is best for your class]
2. Buy gold from other players on Trade section and buy BoE gear with that gold in game through AH (auction house).
