Im level 20 and i have no idea what i can do. I already got revered for silvermoon and got the bag expansion. Im still working on quests and got blue items from some dungeon running i did.
I have some questions…how do i find my rider, i cant find mounts.
How/where do i craft?
Where are the heirlooms and are they the best gear i can get for a lv 20? I plan to stick at this level for an unseeable future.
anything else i can explorer?
Quick reply I’m off to bed. Heirlooms are expensive you wont be able to afford them until your high level. I wouldn’t craft now you need gold for good bags thats top priority. If you want to gather while questing for extra gold you can take herbalism, mining, and skinning. The blood elf mount is called Swift Green Hawkstrider in Eversong Woods. Google or you tube to find it.
where can i get good bags? i got 1 16 slot one from silvermoon.
The auction house. Sort by price low to high.
im on a starter edition i dont think i have access to the auction house.
If you can’t go higher than 20, I would level a few more characters to 20 to see what you like best.
i have 5 characters leveled up. im feeling blood elf hunter.
Mounts are in the Collections interface, just click the horse icon at the bottom of the screen, then go to the Mounts tab. I always forget the current hotkey, Shift and I want to say i
For professions, you’re limited to learning two at a time, and you can find trainers in every capital as well as scattered around smaller quest hubs. Right-click the magnifier icon on your minimap to track their locations. Blacksmithing and Engineering are done mostly at an anvil, Mining at a forge, the rest you can do nearly anywhere but they sometimes require special tools. Go to the Professions tab in your Spellbook, click the profession’s icon to open the menu (you can put the icon on a toolbar for faster access, Esc > Interface > Action Bars if you haven’t activated more toolbars yet), then for crafting you can see what’s needed for each recipe, as well as make the recipes if you have the correct items. Generally you’ll want to have matching gathering and crafting professions: Mining with Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, and Engineering, Herbalism with Alchemy and Inscription, Skinning with Leatherworking, then Tailoring and Enchanting (make items with cloth that you find, then disenchant it). There’s also Cooking and Fishing as secondary skills, and I remember there being something about Archaeology no longer available to Starter accounts, but you can check that sometime to see.
If you’ll be playing the Starter Edition for a while, might as well go through all of them up to the 100 skill cap to see how each one works. You’ll be able to make a few moderately useful things as well like enchants or armor kits, although with all the scaling I don’t think those have much affect anymore. Potions could still be useful though if you happen to find some good recipes like Swiftness, just keep in mind that when you unlearn a profession to switch to another one, you’ll also unlearn all recipes.
You’re right that the auction house can’t be used without an active subscription, most you can do is browse.
For bags, you can buy one at the Darkmoon Faire this week for a prize ticket, the others you can buy from the faction quartermasters once you’ve gotten their rep to Revered. You can do any available quests in their starting areas, but the quickest is running dungeons while wearing their tabard, and I recommend starting with Orgrimmar (Stormwind on Alliance characters). You’ll be limited to 16-slots for the time being, but it’ll be enough to fill your character and bank inventories.
You can buy a few heirlooms with prize tickets at the Darkmoon Faire, along with other account-wide things like pets and mounts. Fish up 100 Darkmoon Daggermaw (floating debris are good for them, just don’t auto-loot the bloated sharks because sometimes they contain more than 10g), and use them to buy a special treasure map quest item from one of the vendors on the pier, and it’ll lead to 100 prize tickets.
Since you’ll be hitting the 10 gold cap a lot, you can buy some Elemental Flux or Etherium Thread from profession vendors to drop the balance down so you can earn more gold. They stack to 200, and when you have an active sub again you can sell the stack(s) back to a vendor to recover part of that gold you would have otherwise lost. Also, when you’re fishing around Darkmoon Island, don’t auto-loot any bloated sharks because sometimes they contain more than 10g, just check to see what’s inside (there’s an Interface option you can check to adjust how auto-looting works when holding Shift), and if it’s more than 10g you can decide if you want to stash the shark for later.
As far as what to do, you can farm up rep with the other factions or make one of each race, then get any of their mounts you want. There are also a couple mounts from the Love is in the Air and Noblegarden holidays in the spring, and a rare turtle you can fish up from debris pools around Darkmoon Island and Northrend and Cataclysm zone waters.
It’s been a long time since I’ve played a hunter at that level, but the stats on heirlooms were normalized a while back so they’re more comparable to quest gear now. The gear you’re using is pretty good though, and you could get the Haste trinket for your next heirloom.
If you’re patient and up to exploring, you could go check out all of the other zones on both continents and unlock flight paths. You’ll probably have to corpse-drag now and then (when you die and run back to your body, go as far past it as you can and then release, repeat however many times it takes to get to a safer location), but it’s possible to uncover the maps for nearly all of both continents. If you’re feeling especially brave, the Horde have zeppelins to Northrend in Brill and Orgrimmar, the Alliance have ships in Stormwind and Menethil Harbor (the Wetlands). At the very least, you can spend 2g to fly to Dalaran and fish up coins in the fountain for achievements.
There’s a whole big menu of achievements you can look into, I used to have a lot of fun seeing just how much I could accomplish at level 20. There’s also farming all of the available gear for transmog appearances. A lot of players have been into the PvP too.
The Darkmoon Faire that Placido mentioned runs for a week starting the first Sunday of the month. It’s active right now. It’s a great place for starter accounts to mess around as most of the stuff isn’t level limited. You can do the various activities to collect prize tickets which can be used for stuff both useful and cosmetic.
Look for Darkmoon Mages in the major cities (I think the one in Silvermoon is near the entrance to the city.) They’ll give you a quest that will give you 5 prize tickets and a book that when kept in your inventory gives you a chance to loot special items that can each be turned in once per fair for more tickets. They’ll also teleport you to Mulgore where the portal to the Faire is for a nominal fee.
Every city faction has a bag you can buy just like the one you got from Silvermoon. The quartermasters are generally near the flight masters for the cities. (The main exception Horde-side is the Pandaran one. It’s in the Valley of Honor. Look for the red hot air balloon.) You can also get the tabards Placido mentioned to grind rep from them.
yea i got the 16 bag one in silvermoon. but i didnt find any mounts.
I also have a darkmoon faire ticket but have no idea where to get more. im still learning how to play wow decent and so im still getting used to things.
I also dont know how to get to ogrimmar, im currently at the undead city.
also since im settling for blood elf hunter what specializations should i do?
Run North from Undercity to Krill its not far. Go up the towers and take the Zeppelin to Ogrimmar. There are two towers so find the right one. I would read the icy veins hunter class guide and use the rotations and talents they give you, which are generally the best. you dont want to form bad habits now. There are also good you tube class guide videos for every spec.
Also, learn to play all three hunter specs while leveling switch it up. Almost everyone plays multiple specs on their characters for variety and nerf protection. Exp. for end game mythic + dungeons, BM hunter is currently above average and MM + Survival are bottom tier. Rankings are different for raids. There are periodic changes to rankings with buffs, nerfs, and new content as well.
If you’re looking for mounts you already have, they’re in the Mount tab of your Collection. If you want to buy more hawkstriders (you can’t buy the “Swift” ones until level 40), go to Thuron’s Livery just east of the main entrance to Silvermoon where the Riding trainer is (turn left when you exit the city and go up the hill).
If you used the Orb of Translocation to travel between Silvermoon and the Undercity, when you head into the ruins, turn right to go down inside the Undercity and look for the flightmaster, next to her will be the Undercity quartermaster who sells their tabard and bag. Turn left instead to go up to Brill, and on the way you’ll see two zeppelin towers, then go up the one straight ahead to find a portal to Orgrimmar. There’s also a portal room in Silvermoon near the Orb of Translocation.
When you arrive in Orgrimmar, head down the tower to find the flight master and orc/troll/goblin quartermasters. You should have a flight path to Thunder Bluff, but if not, go to the other tower and wait for the zeppelin that travels across the Barrens.
You earn prize tickets at the Darkmoon Faire by playing the fair games each day and doing quests each month. More info here:

Many people stick with the specs they prefer, especially with level 20 twinking since min/maxing works different because you don’t have much to work with yet. It comes down more to whether you want to do ranged or melee. “Best” depends on what you plan to do, although I think Marksman has been a common choice for PvP and dungeons.
im in ogrimmar now but see no darkmoon faire stuff nor do i see the heirloom gear.
The heirlooms that you’ll be able to buy are at the fair.
If you took the portal from Brill to Org, the flight master is at the bottom of the tower, and just past him is the Darkmoon Faire mage who can send you to the fair’s portal just outside of Thunderbluff. She should also have a quest for you to visit the fair.
Use the portal and follow the path down to the fairgrounds. When you get there, the very first NPC to your right sells game tokens that you’ll use to play the games that reward prize tickets, further in is the goblin where you can turn in the quest and buy the Darkmoon Storage Box (16-slot bag), and next to him are vendors who sell heirlooms, and replica armor that’s used for transmog outfits. Most gear costs 50 tickets, and you can earn I think 7-8 tickets each day.
You can also ride the carousel or the new roller coaster for a 10% buff to EXP and rep gains, which helps in grinding rep for bags and mounts.
When you’re ready to return, go down to the pier where you’ll find a return portal, then go up to Thunderbluff and to the top of the highest tower to find the flight master (and their quartermaster) to fly back to Org.
In Orgrimmar, when you head south to the main gates, instead of turning to leave the city, turn to your left to access the portal room where you can return to Silvermoon. Just before that room is a long tunnel down to another portal to the Caverns of Time, where 15th Anniversary events are taking place. I didn’t see much to do there without a sub (can’t access the mail about the event), but it’s worth a look.
I think that zepplin portal dumps you out in the portal room, not the Zepplin Tower. If that is the case, then head out of the portal room and hang a right into the main city. Look for an elevator to take you up to the bluff in the middle of the city. There you’ll find the flight master as well as the Darkmoon Faire Mage. They’ll be standing next to a Darkmoon Faire banner:
For DMF heirlooms, the bow goes for 75 tickets and armor pieces for about 50-55 tickets. You can create alts just to fish up the 100 fish to get the treasure map quest that rewards the 100 tickets and get a few heirlooms for a given class from several alts as they will be account bound. But, as noted above, dungeon blues will give stats compare able to heirloom stats.
For starter account alts, I would recommend that the first heirlooms be weapons. Followed by trinkets, then helms/shoulders.
Weapon heirlooms ensure you will do at least reasonable damage while leveling 1-20. Trinkets don’t drop until well above level 20 and helms/shoulders are rare through level 20.
You can also create multiple alts of various classes, factions, and races and level them to 20.
leveling to 20 was very easy.
the heirlooms doesnt look all that fantastic.
so since im starting out on engi+mine professions what are some tips you guys have to craft/mine
Starter accounts have a profession skill limit of 100. There isn’t really much a level 20 Hunter can use within that skill cap other than bombs/dynamite but using them also means you are not doing other dps.I don’t recall what level an engineer needs to be to make a target dummy, but they are useful .
I usually pick alchemy/Herbalism as the two main professions on starter account toons along with fishing and cooking as secondary professions.
Alchemy provides low level health and mana potions that are better than nothing and also a stat potion for buffing each major stat (agi, int, str) which, again, is better than nothing. Stat Potions which last one hour for regular players will last two hours on the alchemist who made them.
Some low skill level cooking recipes also provide stat buffs, and fishing is the easiestway to gather materials for leveling cooking.
Wow-professions.com has profession leveling guides including route maps for gathering profession materials like herbs or ore.
if ur just startn out and lookin for a buddy to lvl with and help ya out toss me an add gixxerkid702#1640 and pm me im usually on helpin others lol
