I’ll be rolling an UD Rogue. I plan on farming herbs, getting devilsaur set and all the best items I can get. Stacking up on Gold for potions for when BGs roll around. I also plan on leveling engineering.
What else is there to do?
Edit: Also what is that craftable dagger called that’s really good at 60?
Fishing, cooking, exploring, looking
Dueling, questing, your alts stop resting
Rare finds, reputation grinds
BiS gear will take some time.
Do you have Ragnaros on fart?
…you have plenty of things to do before Phase 2 starts.
Get pre bis, start farming a ton to get as big a stockpile of goodies as you can for pvp in stage 2. Kill Onyxia alot. Do as many MC clears as possible.
Raiding won’t take much time in phase 1 so there’s lots of time for farming.
Is rogue Rank 13-14 gear better than Tier 1?
If this is a problem stop Door Dashing Taco Bell!!! 
HK’s start phase 2. If phase 1 is 3 months and phase 2 is 3 months BG’s will be 6 months out during phase 3. So you will have time to level and stock up.
Honestly though… you post something that is easily googled…
PvP BiS
PvP Items List
PvP Rep Grinds
Then I look and see you have zero posts… makes me wonder…
PvP Item list is what I will google
There are PLENTY of low level quest items you do NOT want to vendor because of their insane value in PvP. For starters; If it is an on use item KEEP IT!
Also you should roll alliance… dont hide bad PvP skills behind OP PvP Racials… and Dartols Rod!!!
With Classic they decided to add DK’s with Phase 2 when we have World PvP only; no BGs.
In Vanilla didn’t DKs come with the addition of BGs??? I honestly cannot remember getting DKs until after BGs were added and I WPvPed A LOT. Sacked horde cities killed faction leaders…
still… memories can get mixed up.
Gear farm dungeons
Gold farm
Epic mount
Any attunements
Any raiding you plan on doing during that time
Any practice you might need to learn how to pvp on your toon
Engineering (both goblin and gnomish to get all the spec specific items crafted)
Whatever your second profession is
Cooking /fishing if you want
Rep grind whatever reps you need
Level all your weapon skills
Any missing flight paths
Stock pile consumables for upcoming pvp
Level any alts so you aren’t wasting time leveling when you could be pvping
Repeating the rest of this list for those alts
Making contact with worthy guilds/players for both pvp and pve
They added the honor system in patch 1.4, DKs and BGs in 1.5, you’re not wrong.
Of course there’s less phases than there were patches, so they have to combine things somewhere.
TBH I was wondering why this was not as big an issue. One of the best things from Vanilla was WPvP. DKs killed it off but there was a way to continue your grind via BGs.
So… where is the #nochanges crowd on this one??? DKs should come with BGs.
Hey don’t look at me I agree with you. It’s funny that DKS are in phase 2, and BGs are in phase 3, when both happened at the same time. DKs would make more sense in phase 3 I agree.
Kill people. I mean you need to be killing folk.
Besides BGs are PHASE 3 from what I understand.
Phase 1: Random mayhem
Phase 2: Random mayhem with Honor system
Phase 3: AV and WSG
I thought it was a fart, but it turned out to be something worse…
Hash man, you crack me up lol.
Just trying to keep it together for 22 more days… 
I commend you, you seem to be doing quite well.
Don’t mean to derail the thread, looking for a guild? The guild I’m in definitely looking for casual players, as well as raiders. Great group of people, very chill.
If servers/time zones align, I’d be happy to run with you! In fact, there are many frequent posters on this forum that I hope to run into in Classic.
And some oh god I hope I never run into!
