I'm almost positive that you can't transfer items in the Gadget AH just by yourself because the game won't let you bid on your own auctions (using the same account). You need to find someone else to either list or bid on the auction and give the items/money to you.

I've got a 60 warrior on Suramar.

Once you get high enough level, warriors basically turn into punching bags. All the way up till mid-50's or so, I was using 2h axe for massive dps. However once you start running the high end instances (UBRS, LBRS, DM, Strath, Scholo, and especially MC) you really need a 1h and shield. From what I've seen, dumping 40+ points into protection spec is a complete waste for the high end stuff. The most you need is 15, maybe 18 if you don't want MS from Arms. What designates a good warrior from a bad one isn't necissarily what skills they have (although that helps), but rather player skill and equipment. I've got 2 completely different sets of armor for when I tank MC and for everything else. No matter what kind of skills you have, other classes can always pull agro away from you. Mages, Rogues, and especially moronic Hunters can be a real pain in the ass if they can't manage their own agro. It all depends on the group you're with.

40g? The Pally epic mount quest requires you to pay 300g+ through the course of the quest chain.

You aint getting shit for free

6/27/2005 3:51:15 PM

i shouldnt have said epic.

there is a quest at 40 and at 60 right?

6/27/2005 3:52:12 PM

You just now getting your first mount?

What really sucks for you is when you're able to get your epic mount it's going to cost you WAY more than 800g (what it'll normally cost a lvl 60 to buy one).

Plan on spending at least 1200-1500g for your epic.

6/27/2005 3:52:17 PM

my orc warrior has his normal mount.

I started a paladin a while ago, been playing him more now

6/27/2005 3:53:18 PM

^^^Yeah, the 40 one you get for free. and its 90g total, not 40.

The epic one, yo'll be paying out the ass and running through a bunch of end game instances to get shit for it.

hell, i'd almost rather pay the 900g and be done with it

[Edited on June 27, 2005 at 3:54 PM. Reason : ]

so does the actual mount cost like 70G and learning to ride it, as in the skill for mounting is like 20G? or so ive heard? i think someone posted it earlier in this thread but i forgot and a lot of random pages in this thread are blocked at work

6/27/2005 3:54:46 PM

together they are about a total of 3 pages if that.. haha

so did EQ2 totally bomb in sales and subscription and everything? i never really kept up with it but literally EVERYONE i know that started on EQ2 is in WoW now or switched to WoW and doesnt play either now. but either way i dont know hardly anyone that plays EQ2 anymore

6/27/2005 4:03:59 PM

^^^^^

Those ranks are the new PVP reward system. At each rank you can buy stuff from either the Alliance or Horde (Alliance quartermaster is in SW, Horde is in Orgamar I think). Once you hit rank 3 (Sergent) you get an added 10% discount on top of faction discounts. There's some really nice stuff for the higher ranks, but unfortunately you have to keep involved with pvp in order to maintain rank. Say if you make Knight-Leutenant (on Alliance side) and get a nice piece of armor, but then you don't pvp for a while and lose rank, you can't use that armor until you get back to Knight-Leutenant again. So there are tradeoffs. I personally just do what I need to to keep at Sergent so I get the discount, other than that I'm not too worried about it.

yea this patch has some really nice things in it actually

6/28/2005 12:19:47 AM

bought a dagger for 10g, sold it for 40g 20 mins later

now thats a proffesion. screw the real ones.

6/28/2005 12:32:07 AM

yikes i need to do that hah. im up to 56g..not makin as great a progress as i thought i would farmin SM. but i have leveled well in there so i cant complain. hit 39 last night in SM and am now about 39.5. ran cath a few times was all i got to do last night. got a really nice blue shield that i didnt even know was part of the cath drops ( i hadnt actually looked it up)

6/28/2005 8:17:15 AM

got my test of righteousness done last night for my paladin. got a pretty awesome 2handed mace for it too. hit 23 as well.

I had to go to the deadmines to get some wood from one of the goblin wood workers

then go to darkshore and get a quest to retrieve a corrupt Kor Gem from blackfathom deeps in ashenvale. the reward for that quest was a purified Kor Gem, which was what i needed.

then i had to go to Dun Morgh and get a quest to get some ore shipment from an elite ogre camp on the other side of the loch. had to kill a bunch of 19-20 elites to get the ore shipment. the reward was refined ore which was what i needed.

finally i had to go to the wetlands, walk north through arathi, east through hilsbrad and into silverpine and into shadowfang keep and find a fucking hammer in the stable. died a couple times getting to that but I got it.

I got a ding to 23 when I completed the quest along with my rare weapon

6/28/2005 8:28:33 AM

nice man. sounds kinda like the whirlwind axe quest that took me several levels and several deaths. as im sure you know well

6/28/2005 8:30:14 AM

^is that a warrior quest?

6/28/2005 8:31:48 AM

yes indeed

6/28/2005 8:32:46 AM

word, what level? and what are the stats on that axe?

6/28/2005 8:33:32 AM

im not sure what the minimum level is for it but youre killing shit in the upper 30s a LOT to do it and the guardian is lvl 40 elite, so you will need help

6/28/2005 8:41:09 AM

yea the trolls you kill for 30 tusks have a low drop rate. like 1 in 4. and they are around 33-35s in contested territory..but sinceyour PVE this will make it 1000x easier than it was for me hah

then you need 8 charms from each of 3 diff types of 38-39 elementals in very dangerous territory for horde on pvp server but youre pve once again. low drop rate on these too

then you need 8 liferoot.i just bought at the AH

then you fight a 40 elite whirlwind elemental

6/28/2005 8:44:03 AM

yea i got help from a 55 mage even at level 35

6/28/2005 8:44:48 AM

i did it all by myself at level 39

The elementals were near infuriating. I would have to nearly completely heal after fighting the fire or lightning ones and it would drop like 1 in 4 or 5. the water ones were easier but the drop rate was still ass.

The trolls werent bad because they were easy to kill 3 or 4 in a row. Plus I needed other tusks they were dropping for another quest too.

actually thats not true at all. I finished it at level 40 because i remember running around on my mount to kill the elementals and to go fight the elite bastard. my friend who was also a lvl 40 warrior completed the quest at the same time as me so we helped eachother with the elemental.

im confused about the whole warrior thing..im guessing no matter what my points are refunded and i respend them? i better write down what i have my talents in then before the patch gest implemented because i honestly cannot remember hah

6/28/2005 9:10:54 AM

is that patch supposed to happen today??

6/28/2005 9:21:23 AM

I think it goes to the test servers today.

Camp T gets a flight path!

my warrior gets a free respec

6/28/2005 10:09:46 AM

ok so sweet it is a free total respec? yayyyy it sounded like it but i was trying to remain calm haha

and yes FINALLY Campt Tarujo gets a flight path..i might try and run RFD some soon so this will really help

in this respec im going arms/fury still but i think im gonna skip some things like improving my thunderclap(which i used at lower levels) and say take those 3 points and add them into higher crit % or deflection or tactical mastery. something more useful at my level.

because the only thing thunderclap gains in your talent tree is the amount of damage it does and now at level 39 soon to be 40..the amount of damage thunderclap does is not even worth the slight extra damage like it was in the teens.

6/28/2005 10:15:51 AM

I miss my lvl 13 warrior They were fun. Much more fun than my 60 druid at the time :p

6/28/2005 10:25:10 AM

^^ I like thunderclap because it slows the enemies movement by i think 10%? I thought you had to buy that though, thats not on the talent tree is it?

oooh improved thunderclap

[Edited on June 28, 2005 at 10:39 AM. Reason : ]

6/28/2005 10:37:36 AM

yea. the 10% decrease in attack or movement speed (i forget which) stays the same. but the only thing that improves with the thunderclap is the damage dealt which is just kind of a byproduct of using it.

i should have been more clear, the damage from it is not useful now at my level but i still use this ability. i just dont need the improvements from the talent tree. i mean it is 40% improvement on damage when filled but its not big to begin with

6/28/2005 10:38:08 AM

i dont think theyre trying hard to do either in this patch but i think its to the benefit. they changed some abilities around a lot. like what they actually do and totally took out one or two and added one or two. changed trees etc...im kind of skeptical about the improved hamstring now tho..they said no longer does it decrease their speed by an increased amount (i think it was like 65% with my points) but now it will be back down to whatever you bought it for from the trainer but now causes a CHANCE to immobilize your target for like 5 seconds.

if this "chance" happens fairly often this would be really really nice

It is there in the dark recesses of the mountain's peak that Nefarian has begun to unfold the final stages of his plan to destroy Ragnaros once and for all and lead his army to undisputed supremacy over all the races of Azeroth. Blackwing Lair is a max-level, 40-player raid dungeon, with many new encounters and tempting rewards awaiting the intrepid adventurer that dares enter its halls. (Blackwing Lair will not be accessible during the public test.) Darkmoon Faire! A gathering of the exotic from around the world and beyond, Silas Darkmoon has brought together the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of the wondrous and mysterious found in Azeroth. While the Faire spends most of their time in parts unknown, they do stop from time to time in Mulgore and Elwynn forest. When the faire is on its way barkers will stop by Ogrimmar and Ironforge to announce its arrival. Battlemasters! There is a new way to enter the battleground queues. Battlemasters! Located in some of the cities, right-clicking on a battlemaster will allow your character to enter a battleground queue just like you normally would if you touched that battleground’s entrance portal. The functionality is exactly the same, so when it’s your character’s time to enter the chosen battleground, you will be teleported directly in. Glordrum Steelbeard stands in the Hall of Arms in Ironforge, serving as the Alliance battlemaster for Alterac Valley. Aethalas of the Silverwing Sentinels stands ready in Darnassus, next to the warrior trainers, to send Alliance characters into Warsong Gulch. And in the Hall of the Brave, located in Orgrimmar’s Valley of Honor, Brakgul Deathbringer serves as the Horde’s battlemaster for Warsong Gulch, while Kartra Bloodsnarl will send you to bring glory to the Horde in Alterac Valley. Guards in their respective cities can give you directions on how to find them. General * There is a new option upon the login screen. If you click the "Remember Name" checkbox on the left side of the screen, the game will automatically fill in your account name when it starts up. * Will of the Forsaken (Undead Racial) - duration of the lasting immunity effect decreased to 5 seconds. * Cannibalize (Undead Racial) - Regeneration increased to 35% of a character's total health over 10 seconds. * Stoneform (Dwarf Racial) can now be used to cancel self-inflicted poison effects. * Fist Weapons will now have the normal chance to parry that all weapons use. * It will no longer be possible to swap any equipment while stunned. * Pets will now enter passive/follow mode when their masters mount. * The Dazed effect caused by NPCs will now stack with all other movement slowing effects. Note that the movement slowing effects will not stack, but the debuff icons will remain to ensure the full duration of these effects persist. * Damage caused by environmental effects will now cancel stealth (e.g. swimming in lava). * Several creature spells that silenced players are now properly flagged as silence effects, which will allow talents such as Unbreakable Will to provide a higher chance to resist the effects. * Spells that drain mana will now properly report the amount of mana gained in the combat log. * Clarified the error message when no corpses are available for the Cannibalize ability. * Clarified the error message when trying to attack while mounted. * Resurrection spells should now check range properly when used on targets that have released their spirit. * Spell reflection effects have greatly improved visuals and functionality. * Knockback effects are now synchronized with any associated missile impacts. * Special abilities which are parried will correctly activate abilities which are usable after parrying. * Damage shield spells no longer damage you if you use spells that damage both you and your enemies. * Fixed graphical anomalies when using channeled abilities in a group with a grounding totem. * Fixed the duration of Frostbite on pets which are dismissed and then recalled. * Fixed a bug where broken off-hand fist weapons would prevent main-hand dagger abilities from being usable. * Health leech effects no longer give you health while you are a ghost. * You no longer spout profanity when talking about sitting while drunk. Macintosh * Some optimizations for terrain loading and rendering were added for the Macintosh build. * Enabled multisample support in the video options. * Fixed an issue where inspecting crafted items on other users could potentially show attributes that those items did not have. * Updated the Mac sound code to use memory more efficiently. PvP * Honor System o There is now a progress bar on the Honor tab of your character window that displays how close you are to your next rank. o The honor screen now displays a bar indicating how far along your current rank you are (Scout, Private, etc). This will let you know whether you are moving towards your next rank or falling back towards your previous rank. from week to week. o There is a new "This Week" section of the Honor tab, which will display PvP accomplishments of the current week. o The "This Session" section of the Honor tab has been changed to "Today", and will now display the entirety of your accomplishments for the day instead of the most recent session. o Players rank 11 or higher can now chat in the WorldDefense channel. o The WorldDefense and LocalDefense channels will now display your rank as well as your name when chatting. o Battleground scoreboards now display the time elapsed in a battleground. * Warsong Gulch o Warsong Gulch has new item rewards at the appropriate faction vendor near the entrances to the zone. These are available starting at Honored faction. o Friendly flag carriers are now displayed on the overhead map in Warsong Gulch. o Both the Warsong Outrider Supply Officer and the Silverwing Sentinel Supply Officer of Warsong Gulch now offer distinct tabards for purchase. Those heroes who are of Exalted status with one of these factions may purchase the tabard for 5 gold (discounts not included). o Players now receive a faction bonus for completing the repeatable Warsong Gulch quests. * Alterac Valley o Each team will now gain additional bonus honor if their towers are not destroyed by the end of the map.

"World Environment * Flight Paths o Added a Wind Rider Master to Camp Taurajo in The Barrens. o New Horde Flight Paths -- + Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Crossroads in The Barrens + Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Thunder Bluff in Mulgore + Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Freewind Post in Thousand Needles o Fixed several problems with the flight path from Undercity to Hammerfall while passing through the Ruins of Andorhal. o Fixed some problems with the Ironforge to Stormwind flight path. o The Darkshire <-> Booty Bay flight paths no longer fly over the Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale, and therefore no longer flag fliers as being in Free-for-All PvP. Also, they should no longer fly through the zeppelins coming in and out of the Grom'gol Base Camp. * Graveyards o Feralas, Durotar, Mulgore, Darnassus, Tirisfal Glades (excluding the Bulwark graveyard), Elwynn Forest & the Eastern Plaguelands have now all been converted over to the new graveyard system. The system will place your character's spirit at the closest allowed graveyard in the zone. For example, an Alliance character dying closer to the new Darnassus graveyard, detailed below, will use that graveyard rather than the one located at Dolanaar. Starting area graveyards are still reserved exclusively for characters of similar faction that die within their confines. For example, the spirit of a Horde character dying right outside of Deathknell will not use Deathknell graveyard, but will instead go to the next closest Tirisfal Glades graveyard. o A Horde-only graveyard has been added in the northern section of Durotar, just to the south of Orgrimmar. In addition to serving northern Durotar, Horde characters dying in Orgrimmar, The Hall of Legends and Ragefire Chasm will use this new graveyard. Alliance characters dying in Durotar will continue to only use the Razor Hill graveyard. o A Horde-only graveyard has been placed at the northern base of Thunder Bluff in Mulgore. Horde characters dying in Thunder Bluff will also use this new graveyard. Alliance characters dying in Mulgore will continue to only use the graveyard at Bloodhoof Village. o An Alliance-only graveyard has been added at the eastern end of Darnassus. Alliance characters dying in Darnassus will use this new graveyard. Horde characters dying on Teldrassil will still only be able to use the graveyard at Dolanaar. o An Alliance-only graveyard has been added just outside of Ironforge, around the side of the mountain. It is only for use by Alliance characters that die inside Ironforge and in the Gates of Ironforge sub-area of Dun Morogh. Horde characters dying therein will continue to only use the Kharanos graveyard. o The Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity now has a Horde-only graveyard. Horde characters dying inside the Undercity will use this new graveyard. Alliance characters will continue to solely use the Faol's Rest graveyard. o A neutral graveyard has been added at the Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest. The graveyard at Goldshire is now for use by the Alliance exclusively. Horde characters dying in Elwynn Forest and its sub-areas, as well as in Stormwind, The Stockade and the Deeprun Tram, will have their spirits travel to the new graveyard at the Eastvale Logging Camp. o A neutral graveyard has been added on the island of Caer Darrow in Western Plaguelands. It will serve characters who die on Caer Darrow and in Scholomance. o A neutral graveyard has been added in the Eastern Plaguelands near the northwestern shore of Blackwood Lake. Characters that die in The Fungal Vale will continue to use the Darrowshire graveyard due to the mountains between it and the new graveyard. Additionally, characters dying in Stratholme will now use the new Blackwood Lake graveyard. o A neutral graveyard has been added in Feralas, just to the southwest of Dire Maul. Characters dying in Dire Maul will use this new graveyard. * Darkmoon Cards have been seen dropping from high level Humanoids around the world. Collect a set of them and bring them to the Darkmoon Faire when it is in town! * The "Human, Theramore" faction is now the "Theramore" faction. This faction is allied with the Alliance and is at war with the Horde. * High Elves now have their own distinct faction – "Silvermoon Remnant". This faction is allied with the Alliance and is at war with the Horde. Not all High Elves are a part of this faction. * Several NPCs around the world are now associated with the proper faction. * Dimetradons in Un'Goro Crater should be found more regularly now. * Fire Elementals in Searing Gorge should be easier to find. * The pair of gryphons guarding the entrance to the Hinterlands have finally decided to stop staring at one another and will now wander around the entrance to the pass. * Rashona Straglash was moved to be with other cloth-centric citizens in Orgrimmar. * Several NPCs that were not marked as Civilians are now correctly labeled. * Dark Strand Cultist and Enforcers are now correctly labeled Humanoid. * Morbent Fel’s level was slightly reduced to better fit the level range of Duskwood. * Brinna Valanaar in Azshara now sells higher level arrows. * Hadoken Swiftstrider of Camp Mojache, Feralas and Dinita Stonemantle in Ironforge received promotions; they are now significantly tougher than before. * Certain floating herbs, minerals, and chests should now be more down to earth. * The Barrens should now feel more alive. * Sickly Gazelles now have a sickly look to them. * Jarven Thunderbrew in Kharanos warns players in Common now, and not in Dwarvish. * The Wastewander Scufflaw of Tanaris now spells his own name correctly. * Swift Green Raptor has been renamed to Swift Olive Raptor for clarity. * An icon has been added at the Kalimdor continent map level for Revantusk Village. * Revantusk Village will now have an arrow pointing in its direction on the mini-map when you get close enough to it. * Fixed some typos in Gilnid's text in The Deadmines. * Fixed some typos in Supervisor Raelen's text in Elwynn Forest. 5:23 PM 6/27/2005 "

haha nice

and i just saw this

Recklessness
Instant 30 min cooldown
Requires Berserker Stance
The warrior will cause critical hits with most attacks and will be immune to Fear effects for the next 15 sec, but all damage taken is increased by 20%.

good lord man. no wonder that has a 30 min cooldown haha. if i could use that even every 5 mins itd be insanely hard for an enemy to solo kill evena half decent warrior in melee range hah

*************edit**

PS man level 40 has some great rewards! improved heroic strike, awesome improve to execute, rend improvement, cleave improvement..unfortunately i dont think ill be buying any of these until i get my mount hah and if it keeps going like this ill hit the 42 and possibly 44 upgrades too w/o buying anything before i get my mount

in which case ill be broke and wont be able to afford them for a few more levels..not sure when ill ever catch up on the money
