I found my BradyGames Battle Chest guide for Vanilla WoW

If you need any hot tips, I can give them to you. It even has a way for you to select your class based on your personality:

  • Druid: “People who crave change”
  • Hunter: “Those who hold back from direct conflict”
  • Mage: “The fearless” (?)
  • Paladin: “People who hate losing”
  • Priest: “Supporters” (They didn’t like Priests much I suppose)
  • Rogue: “Aggressive players” (The most true statement out of the bunch)
  • Shaman: “All types”
  • Warlock: “Those who love to win”
  • Warrior: “Leaders”

So yeah. I’m ready with all the hot tips and tricks.

After the FFIX abomination they loosed from their bowels, I swore them off for good.

Does it have any tips on running the deadmines?

I remember sitting on the toilet reading that almost a decade and a half ago.

What if I hate to lose BUT love to win ?

We should add descriptions for classes that were added later. I’ll start.

  • Death Knight: “Tryhard, likes listening to metalcore”
  • Monk: “Balding”

I’m glancing through the guide and most of it seems to be opinion pieces, but I find it pretty hilarious.

Sure does, here goes:

"With almost an entire instance of humanoids, Mages and Rogues are primary choices for crowd control. Enemies are fairly close together but run for help, so killing them quickly is fairly important as is having a tank that can take the attacks of multiple enemies.

In the Deadmines, but not quite in the instance you will find undead. While the undead portion is fairly small, Priests can take up the CC duties while you’re there. Deeper in the dungeon are casters. Once you begin meeting the casters, have an interrupt order ready as their spells (primarily fire based) can be quite damaging and are cast at range. Consider Polymorphing casters if running to them to interrupt casting risks pulling more enemies.

The Defias Leather armor set is quite nice. Rogues, Hunters, and Shaman are certain to enjoy the armor, while Warriors and Paladins may even find the bonuses to their liking."

Demon hunter: if you like to be top DPS and AFK

I actually completely forgot there was an undead segment of the deadmines.

Doesn’t matter. According to the guide, you’re a leader. Winning and losing is irrelevant.

Anyway, this guide also offers a lot of etiquette lessons while you are adventuring, including PvP. Here’s my favorite one.

"The use of [/spit] is extremely unpleasant. Though realistic for roleplayers and an allowed action by Blizzard, many players find spitting to be rude/insulting. Reserve this for enemies who are vile. Graveyard campers, perhaps?

The flipside of emotes is that they can be used to show respect or friendship toward allies and enemies alike. Try [/salute] to let people know that they are respected even if you are trying to kill them. Or, [/love] and [/hug] work well for friendship. A good [/dance] is another way to let people know that things aren’t always about fighting. If one side of a battleground is vastly outnumbered, the other side my choose to play around while accomplishing their goals as a way of saying, “we’re going to try to win this quickly, but we won’t fight you directly unless you attack us.” Given the understaffed side the initiative in this way is very good form."

I want to say red items were GM tier? 'Cause yeah, there’s not a single item in Vanilla that shows up as red otherwise.

Also, for you RPers out there, the guide has roleplaying tips. I want to share the Night Elf tip, as I think it explains a lot of the things currently going on in retail.

“As one of the longest living races in Azeroth, night elves tend to be slow to change. Slow to anger and slow to cool off, the night elves experience emotions as deeply, or perhaps more so, then the younger races. While generally slow to respond emotionally, their minds have seen much and tend to have a honed wit and sense of humor.”

I’m just picturing Tyrande making a sarcastic joke as Darnassus burns down.

I totally forgot about those books :open_book: that were available for the earlier expansions.

I’ll have to hunt around a bit and find mine to see if there’s anything of interest in them.

Thanks OP for the big cow head’s up!

/moo :cow:

Hi yes… did they have a pre raid Bis list available in there?

Or can we get some tips on how to kill Hogger, hes a tough boy.

#nochanges

"He is very dangerous and can be the doom of you or your party if he attacks while you are engaged with other gnolls. When you see Hogger, rest to full and wait for him to be away from other gnolls. He is an elite enemy, shown by the gold dragon encircling his portrait, and has many more hitpoints and does much more damage than most enemies his level.

…That’s all it gives.

Dang better get 2 raids…

I used to have one of those! I loved that thing, though I treated it more like a comic book rather than an actual guide for FFXI. As a guide it was terrible, but reading all of the horribly wrong information was really funny
