I know it won't stop the question form being ask, but we seem to get so many Scryer vs. Aldor threqads that it might be worth throwing the wowwiki link into the faq.

You're correct. This question is asked frequently enough that it deserves to go into the FAQ.

This is not asked frequently enough to be included in a Frequently Asked Questions thread.

Thank you for the advice! Very helpful for this 47 year old newb. I really do appreciate your assistance with developing my WoW game. I have just started playing around Oct. 2006.

Again my many thanks.

Two questions to add, if you please:

1) Which side is better?
2) What are battlegrounds and how do I win at them?

Because I suck, I don't have a guide or witty answer for each of them. >.>

I would, but if I do, my personal views would show, since I find it hard to be very objective on these subjects.
Quote:
1) Which side is better?

I personally feel that neither side is better, and that it's a choice for individual players to make. Stop and think about it a bit. Each faction is made up of individual players, and it's the players that make a faction either good or bad. That means that what you are really asking is "which faction has the better players?" not "which faction is better?". As far as I'm concerned that's a can of worms best left unopened.

Quote:
2) What are battlegrounds and how do I win at them?

I don't do PvP. Period. At level 70, I have a grand total of 7 honerable kills to my name. I'm not really the person to answer this question. The second part of the question ("how do I win at them?") is really too complex to be answered in a FAQ - it's probably a subject that would take an entire guide to provide a proper answer. However, I am open to including it in the FAQ, and if someone finds a guide on winning strategies and tactics for all battlegrounds (for both sides), I'll put it in.

Newbie question that I couldn't see and answer to in the FAQ: What do the stars stand for? I'm guessing it has something to do with post count.

Also the 'I'm level 60 what should I do?' could be updated to level 70 and 10/25man instances + heroics.

Did you even bother to read the FAQ before posting your already answered question?

Hello Mike,

could you perhaps look into updating(or deleting) #8 of the game help section? (I've reached level 60 and don't know what to do.) Much of this information is out of date(especially the link I provided).

Maybe change the answer to, "Continue to grind until level 70!" Smiley: wink

Keep up the great work!

I understand this, and I've been thinking of upgrading the question to L70, but there haven't been enough really good answers that I can quote to that question yet.

Here's some suggestions for new 70's, hope these are useful.

I'm 70! What now?

There is more than ever to do at 70. Some options:

  • Questing
  • Running instances to improve gear and get keyed for Heroic instances
  • Getting attuned for raid instances
  • Running Heroic instances for even better gear
  • Running raid instances
  • Working towards a flying mount, and then an epic flying mount
  • Exploring the world on your flying mount
  • Arena
  • Getting and crafting rare recipe drops
  • Working on rep
  • Trying out old instances


  • Questing
    There are so many quests in Outland that it's almost certain you haven't finished all of them. Travel to Netherstorm or Shadowmoon Valley if you haven't already and collect some new quests. A lot of these quests are quite fun, and they give good rewards - either in gear or gold.

    Instances:

    The level 70, 5-man dungeons are:

  • Shattered Halls in Hellfire Citadel
  • Steamvaults in Coilfang Reservoir
  • Shadow Labs in Auchindoun
  • Black Morass (The Dark Portal) in Caverns of Time
  • Mechanar in Tempest Keep
  • Botanica in Tempest Keep
  • Arcatraz in Tempest Keep


  • If you're interested in raiding, the usual progression is:

  • Karazhan in Deadwind Pass - 10-man
  • Gruul's Lair in Blade's Edge - 25 man
  • Magtheridon's Lair in Hellfire Citadel - 25 man
  • Serpentshrine Cavern in Coilfang Reservoir - 25 man
  • The Eye in Tempest Keep - 25 man
  • Battle for Mount Hyjal in Caverns of Time - 25 man
  • Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley - 25 man


  • Attunements
    Karazhan has an attunement process, involving doing some quests in Deadwind Pass, then running Shadow Labs, Steamvaults, and Arcatraz for key fragments, and doing the Black Morass instance.

    Battle for Mount Hyjal requires you to have completed a quest in Serpentshrine Cavern and the Eye to get attuned.

    The Black Temple also has an attunement process including a quest series in Shadowmoon Valley and finishing quests and/or killing bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern, The Eye, and Hyjal.

    Heroics
    If you're not in a raiding guild, or don't want to raid, you can still run 5-man instances on Heroic mode. Heroic dungeons are equivalent in difficulty and drop quality to Karazhan, but it's much easier to find a group for them, and they're more accessible to players without an endgame guild. To enter heroic dungeons, you need the Heroic key for that group of instances as listed below, which in turns requires Revered reputation with the respective faction listed.

  • Hellfire Citadel: Requires Honor Hold/Thrallmar rep

  • Running Ramparts and Blood Furnace to Honored. Past Honored, either saving quests until you're 70, or running Shattered Halls

  • Coilfang Reservoir: Requires Cenarion Expedition rep

  • Unidentified Plant Parts and pre-70 instances(to honored), quests, Coilfang Armaments, and running Steamvaults

  • Auchindoun: Requires Lower City rep

  • Arrakoa feathers and Auchenai Crypts(to honored), quests, running Shadow Labs past honored

  • Tempest Keep: Requires Sha'tar rep

  • Aldor/Scryer rep (to honored), running Tempest Keep regular instances, some quests

  • Caverns of Time: Requires Keepers of Time rep

  • Quests involving CoT, running CoT instances


    Flying
    At 70 you can buy a flying mount and riding ability. If you don't have enough money, a few days of questing/grinding should do it. Flying also helps in gathering skills, and is just plain fun. You can also work on obtaining the riding ability needed for your epic flyer.

    Exploring
    Once you can fly, there are several places that are newly available to you - check out all the floating islands over Nagrand and the broken off pieces of Hellfire Peninsula, Shadowmoon Valley, and Netherstorm.

    Have you been to the Warden's Cage? Have you seen Doom Lord Kazzak? Now's your chance. Just watch out for your cross-faction cities - fly over them and you're likely to get shot down...

    Epic mounts
    Netherwhelp - Netherwing rep
    Nether Ray - Sha'tari Skyguard rep
    Talbuk - Kurenai/Mag'har rep (this is a ground mount, so you only need 150 riding ability)

    Arena
    Arena is a great PvP option that doesn't require loads of time. Make a 2, 3 or 5 person team and do at least 10 arena matches weekly. You gain points that you can use to buy top-quality gear.

    Crafting
    There are a lot of great crafting recipes that you can work on obtaining, either through rep, instances, or the specific mobs they drop off of (See the Trade Skills forum for more info). A lot of high-level recipes require drops from high-level or heroic instances as well.

    Work on Reputation
    Reputation gives many nice rewards, such as better gear, crafting recipes, enchants, and mounts. Plus, you can work on rep while doing other things, like running instances, questing, gathering, or just grinding.

    Factions (in addition to all the existing factions pre-Burning Crusade):
  • Aldor/Scryer
    Mark of Kil'Jaeden/Firewing Signet to Honored
    Mark of Sargeras/Sunfury Signet to Exalted
    Fel Armament/Arcane Tome to Exalted (also gives mats for shoulder enchants)

  • Sha'tar - see above

  • Honor Hold/Thrallmar - see above

  • Cenarion Expedition - see above

  • Sporeggar - killing bog lords in Zangarmarsh, gathering spores to honored/hibiscus past honored

  • Lower City - see above

  • Consortium - Quests, warbeads, Mana-Tombs to honored (Heroic past honored)

  • Kurenai/Mag'har - Quests, warbeads

  • Keepers of Time - Run Old Hillsbrad and Black Morass

  • Ashtongue Deathsworn - quests

  • Ogri'la - quests, daily bombing quest

  • Sha'tari Skyguard - quests, daily bombing quest, daily escort quest

  • Netherwing - quests up to neutral, then daily quests (requires 300 riding ability)

  • Violet Eye - questline for Karazhan attunement, Karazhan mobs and quests

  • Scale of the Sands - Hyjal attunement quest, and then running Hyjal


  • Old instances
    A lot of people think that the level 60 instances are now obsolete. But if you haven't finished all those Scholo quests, or downed the Baron in 45 minutes, you can do it now much more easily than you could at 60. These instances are still fun, and with level 70's, you can be much more free with your party makeup, or even trying them with 2 or 3 level 70's instead of 5 level 60's. Heck, if you like, try soloing them! You may not be running them for uber gear, but you can still get a lot out of these instances in terms of fun and practicing party mechanics with guildies or friends.
