——————
———————————————————————–
—————————————
I suggest to do quests until level 20 and then start to do aoe at the places belove ( since frankly, you wont do that good before u get some talent into frost tree imp blizzard and the fact that you don`t get blizzard before lvl 20 :> so you will do more xp pr hour by questing and stuff :> from lvl 1 -20

Level: 25-29) Skeletal Undead - Raven Hill Cemetary (Duskwood)
(this is a GREATE spot also the Gy is really close ( not that greate for horde tho, since there is quite alott of allys add`s around :>)

(Level: 21-24) Bael’dun Dwarves - Bael’Dun Dig Site (Barrens)
( very easy to get adds =( so pay attention to mobs around before pull, since its a loooong walk from gy)

(Level: 21-25) Foulweald Furbolgs [Bring a Healer] (Ashenvale)

(Level: 21-26) Shadowhide Gnolls (Redridge Mountains)

(Level: 22-26) Hillsbrad Farmers/Peasants - Hillsbrad Fields (Hillsbrad Foothills)
(you shod bring a mage friend or a healer for this, since you often get adds. ( you shod also pick up the quest for this spot in tarren mill(Horde), since the you do get somewhat decent xp from those)

(Level: 23-31) Highperch Wyverns (Thousand Needles)

(Level: 25-32) Dragonmaw Orcs - Angerfang Encampment [Few Casters/Bring Healer] (Wetlands)

(Level: 26-28) Plague Spreaders - Raven Hill Tomb (Duskwood)

(Level: 26-28) Hillsbrad Miners/Sentrys- Azureload Mine (Hillsbrad Foothills)
(I sugest to bring another mage or a priest here, since u dont get alott of space to move in therefore cant use blizzard to well, and mobs hit kinda hard)

(Level: 28-30) Nightbane Worgens - Near Rotting Orchard (Duskwood)

(Level: 29-33) Syndicate Humans - North of Tarren Mill (Alterac Mountains)

(Level: 29-35) Sparkleshell Turtles - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles)

(Level: 30-34) Salt Flats Vultures/Scavengers - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles)

(Level: 33-35) Dabyrie Humans - Dabryie’s Farmstead (Arathi highlands) (HORDE)
This spot is amazing, I would advise doing this area until 37-38

(Level: 33-35) Hammerfall Orcs - Go’shek Farm (Arathi Highlands) (ALLIANCE)

(Level: 33-36) Silithids - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles)
Shimmering flats is to spread out i never did it

(Level: 33-36) Crushridge Ogres (Alterac Mountains)
I’ve ran through here, I never personally grinded here but it is a viable spot, the mobs are kinda spread out though

(Level: 33-36) Scorpid Reavers/Terrors - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles)
same as before

(Level: 33-40) Saltstone Basilisks - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles)
The Basilisks are grouped nicely but personally there are not enough to make it worthwhile

(Level: 35-38) Mirefin Murlocs - NE of Zone (Dustwallow Marsh)
The next best spot, For a frost mage i’d advise doing this spot until 44, just a filler until you get your next blizzard

(Level: 35-38) Syndicate Humans - North of Zone [One Caster per Camp] (Alterac Mountains)
Never liked it, tried it a little bit

(Level: 35-39) Darkmist Spiders - North of Brackenwall Village (Dustwallow Marsh)

(Level: 36-39) Lesser Rock Elementals - NW Corner (Badlands)
Not enough mobs to make worthwhile

(Level: 36-40) Bloodfen Raptors - NE of Brackenwall Village (Duskwallow Marsh)
Seem to be spread out

(Level: 37-39) Elementals [Various Locations & Types] (Arathi Highlands)

(Level: 37-40) Shadowforge Dwarves - Agnar Fortress [Few Casters] (Badlands)
The casters make this a pain

(Level: 39-44) Woodpaw Gnolls (Feralas)
The gnolls have a few ranged mobs, so as a frost mage I did not find this spot to be suitable

(Level: 40-43) Grimtotem Tauren (Feralas)
Again some casters, not advisable, depending on your aoe spec

(Level: 40-45) Wastewater Bandits (Tanaris)
The bandits have casters mixed in, to me there was not enough of these mobs to make it worthwhile, I’d advise doing the murlocks

(Level: 40-45) Southsea Pirates (Tanaris)
Ahhh now LOST RIGGER COVE is where its at. On my server not many people grind this area. I catagorized the area into 5 pulls, will last me until 52. At level 51 im able to grind 40k/hr.

(Level: 41-47) Green Sludges (Hinterlands)

(Level: 41-48) Dark Iron Dwarves [Various Locations] (Searing Gorge)

(Level: 42-48) Dunemaul Ogres (Tanaris) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.htm…zoneid=1015

(Level: 45-50) Thistleshrub Elementals (Tanaris)

(Level: 46-47) Rage Scar Yeti’s (Feralas) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.htm…zoneid=1009

(Level: 46-51) Nethergarde Humans (Blasted Lands)
Good spot to level besides the fact of not being able to mount in the mine, a few ranged mobs, not advised unless you have no other option

(Level: 47-50) Northspring Harpies (Feralas) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.htm…zoneid=1009
Have alot of casters mixed in with them

(Level: 47-50) Ravasaur Raptors (Un’goro Crater)

(Level: 47-50) Deadwood Furbolgs (Felwood) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.htm…zoneid=1008
Have ranged

(Level: 48-54) Jadefire Saytrs [Various Locations] (Felwood)

(Level: 49-50) Saltwater Snapjaw- East Coast (Hinterlands)

(Level: 49-54) Thunderhead Hippogryphs - Northern Peninsula (Azshara)

(Level: 49-55) Jaedenar Forces (Felwood)
Just a bad spot

(Level: 50-52) Felstone Fields [Few Casters] (Western Plaguelands)
The casters don’t make it worthwhile in my opinion

(Level: 50-53) Flamekin Imps [Various Locations] (Burning Steppes)

(Level: 50-54) Warpwood Elementals (Felwood)

(Level: 52-56) Sorrow Hill [SE of Anderhol] (Western Plaguelands)

(Level: 52-58) Ice Thistle

frost mage spec guide for levelling

Posted on 2011 under Wowgrrl | No Comment

14 Jul

Frost Mage has been largely seen as a PvP spec, but don’t let them fool you - a player who plays their Mage skillfully can be a giant in terms of fast levelling and high damage in dungeons and raids in addition to being a formidable foe on the battlegrounds or in the arena.

There are subtle differences in the talent configurations in order to be successful as a Frost Mage in different areas of the game.

Note, although this is a Frost Mage guide, often many Frosties have points in the Arcane tree as well, making us a Frost/Arcane mix if truth be told.

Gear Choices, 1-56

Go for Stamina and Intellect as a priority in your gear for this range of play.

What about those extra gear bonuses? Spell Damage and Spell Hit and things that restore Mana every 5 seconds?

Spell Damage is a higher priority than Spell Hit while levelling, although Spell Hit can help you lower resists when fighting against mobs higher level than you are. MP5 gear comes around more frequently in the Outland, too.

When in a group with a healer, be sure to check that Spell Damage gear to ensure its Healing bonus is equal or less than the Spell Damage. If Healing bonus is higher, let the Healer get first crack at the gear.

Massive gear upgrades, 57-59

In this level range, Outland gear becomes available from those doing low-level Outland quests and selling the green BOE drops in the Auction House.

Outland gear is often a significant stat and +damage upgrade to the things you’ll be wearing as you approach this level range.

As you approach level 57, visit the Auction House on occasion to pick up a new wardrobe of gear that you can quickly switch over when you hit 57, 58 and 59.

Again, go for Stamina and Intellect as a priority in your gear for this range of play, but you’ll find that there’s a fair amount of gear with both stats plus +spell damage and healing on them that you can pick up as well. Spell Hit and MP5 gear is still lower priority during levelling through the Outland.

Gear Choices, 60-69

Outland gear is much more clear in terms of who gear is generally best for.

That being said, Mages have a lot of gear competition, especially in groups: Prime competitors for gear will be Warlocks, Shadow Priests and even Moonkin Druids on occasion. Remember to share with your teammates

Priorities on Stats on Mage levelling gear remains the same: Intellect, Stamina, Spell Damage, MP5 and Spell Hit - in that order.

Sockets are introduced in this level range for all players, and this guide recommends the addition of +spell damage gems in all of the slots, no matter what color the slot itself asks for in order to get the socketing bonus. Most socket bonuses aren’t worth sacrificing the +spell damage.

“Mage AOE spec”

Name commonly given to the talent configuration aimed towards gathering up multiple mobs at once, keeping them slowed or iced in place, and downing them all together.

The “Blizzard” skill is required for this strategy, and since it isn’t obtained until level 20, a Mage must make their way through quests and mob grinding to get to 20 in order to being the faster progression that AOE grinding can offer. At around level 28 things get easier thanks to more talent points that strongly affect this strategy of play.

The final spec you’ll end up at as a level 70 is a Frost/Arcane mix.

Sample Mage AOE spec/talent build development:

lvl 20
lvl 30
lvl 40
lvl 50
lvl 60
lvl 70

5-man dungeon spec, clear to heroic

Talent configuration built on high damage output and improved crowd control
Sample spec: lvl 20, lvl 40, lvl 60, lvl 70

Raiding spec, Karazhan and beyond

Talent configuration built on high damage output and improved mana efficiency
Sample spec: lvl 20, lvl 40, lvl 60, lvl 70

PvP Spec

Talent configuration built on slowing and stopping opponents while delivering damage with high levels of penetration
Sample spec: lvl 20, lvl 40, lvl 60, lvl 70

Troubles With Your UI? How To Reset Your WoW Folders

Posted on 2010 under Wowgrrl | No Comment

11 Aug

Hi there!

This is Valdesta from WoWGrrl.com and I’m going to take you through the process of nuking your interface and WTF folders safely in World of Warcraft.

Fixing WoW UI Problems

I’m on a Macintosh here but the process will be the same for people on a PC - you’ll have to go into your hard drive and into Program Files and into the World of Warcraft folder to see what I’m seeing on my screen.

You want to find a couple of directories: One of them is Interface, and if you list them alphabetically it might be easier to find things - the other is WTF.

These are the folders you want to know about when you’re having troubles with your game interface, or you’re having problems with long long login or log out times, or you’re getting disconnected before it fully logs out.

If you’re having troubles, these are the first two folders that the World of Warcraft support people are going to ask you to reset. So before you even think about any type of support, this is the first thing you should do.

But what I recommend is that you don’t actually DELETE these folders - that you keep them, but that you do it in a way that the World of Warcraft game re-creates the original folders for you.

Note: When you do this, you’re going to lose a whole bunch of settings (addons, key bindings, etc) because they’re saved in these folders. That’s why I say you shouldn’t delete the folders, but should instead rename them. That way if you ever need to restore the folders to recover something in-game that you forgot about, you can do that.

We’ll just rename the WTF and Interface folders while the game isn’t running, and when the game is started back up it’ll re-create those folders with the original settings and any troubles I was having with the game should be handled.

If you’re still having troubles with WoW after having renamed these folders and restarted the game, you might want to try a game repair, or you might need to re-install entirely.
