Wow Tips & Tricks

Post your best tip or trick here to make our experience more fun/easier.

Mine: Before every major expansion or update, I farm MATs and hold them. I then sell them the first week. I usually make 300-400% what I normally would and this funds my entire expansion (and usually more!)

Here is a helpful tip for all you Demon Hunters out there! You know that Darkmoon faire game where you launch yourself into the air using a canon? Well if you’re a Demon Hunter you can click the flight buff off right when you’re about to hit the target and then just use your demon wings to easily fly right into the bullseye every time! Also you will get an Achivement for getting a bullseye.

And here is a tip for everyone that I find to be really helpful! There is a boss in Ahn’qiraj named Viscidus that can only be killed with frost damage. Well there is a toy that can help you with this! The Endothermic Blaster which you can get from the Winterveil event actually freezes Viscidus for some reason. So if you’re a class that doesn’t have access to frost abilities just use this toy to kill the boss.

Edit: Ok scratch that last one, Blizzard removed the ability to freeze Viscidus with the toy recently :frowning: But if you’re a Hunter you can always bring a Chimera, they have a frost breath attack that can help you kill it.

This is very good! thanks for the tip

Gosh, I don’t think I have any.

I do set my Microsoft Office to sent me a reminder to get up and stretch every 30 minutes. I originally started this at work to keep me energized because working at a desk drains me. I do this also while playing WoW particularly on Saturdays.

Also the logoff at an inn for resting XP.

Tip: Your main should always be an Enchanter, since they’ll see the highest turnover of disenchantable gear that you don’t need.

Trick: Name your shadow priest “Female” so thirsty boys invite you to their M+ groups until Blizzard fixes your spec in the next expansion.

When flying, use the Ins and Del keys to fly in loops.

haha! genius

To go off the Darkmoon Faire one, for the turtle one where you got to land rings on the turtles back, aim for the place it always “returns” to instead of the random location it decides to go to. May take a couple tries, but in my opinion, its easier than trying to get used to the other random places and perhaps waiting longer if you just do one of them.

When flying or swimming the sit key will move you down just like jump will move you up.

/mountspecial will get flying mounts to do their special animation while on the ground instead of lifting off.

/guildroster will bring up the old, less awful guild interface.

If you raid regularly, make your main an alchemist. I level with mining/blacksmithing but drop mining for alchemy at max level. The 2 hour flasks have saved me hundreds of thousands over the years.

if you are in the BFA alliance main city and want to test talents/gear at the target dummies - stand on the small boxes/crates next to them to change talents…no clue why it works, but it does!

If you have a five button mouse, keybind the thumb to the fishing pole. The fishing is endless in BfA if you want to make feasts – hours and hours – make that cast simple and on your thumb.

Totally minor and probably known by most people, but that annoying locked chest in Drustvar by the chapel, the birds next to it have the key. If you don’t want to hurt the birds, the lock can be picked, even with a scroll of unlocking.

Also, scrolls of unlocking do actually work in Tol Dagor. I was in a group that didn’t think it would work but I got them to wait a second and let me try and, yeah, much easier run.

Dreadpearl Shallows in Zul’Dazar is a great place to farm Sea Stalks. Approximately 40-50 per circuit. For the horde, its a 2 min run from the war table.

The toy Pretty Dreanor Pearl can be sold or traded. It is only once per character to get it but if you have alts – it is a great present for the season!

If you need to gear an alt: two easy ways - do both PvP and PVE but… Start your own group. Most players lower level will be alts too, so they know how to play the game. Start a group, but be stingy in who you invite. Waiting 5-10 min will be better than accepting anyone with high ilvl. Make a good comp of player = easy, fast gearing runs.

You can move bags into the bank while they are full. If you like to run old raids simply swap your full adventuring bags with empty bank bags and you can now pick up everything that drops.
