7 WotLK Classic Tips That Will Save YOU a LOT of Time and Gold

hey welcome back good to see you man today we'll be talking about seven wrath of the lich king classic tips that could potentially save you a lot of time and gold now tip number one mount costs and level requirements are going to be reduced in wrath as of wrath of lich king patch 3 2 0 which came out in 2009 there are some pretty cool mount changes apprentice writing skill can be learned at level 20 for four gold this is a huge discount from what it used to be you also are going to get mail sent to you when you turn level 20 to remind you that you can actually go learn uh writing you know previously you just kind of found out eventually also journeyman writing which is level 150 skill can now be learned at level 40. this is um epic riding right ground epic riding for 50 gold epic riding for 50 gold crazy right the mail again is gonna be sent to you once you're level 40 letting you know that you can ride so you can save yourself hundreds literally hundreds of gold just from like vanilla amount like regular 60 speed and 100 speed discounts also uh it's worth noting that there were also reduced expert writing skill price so this is when you have your regular flying mount this this price was reduced to 250 gold so again you've got like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of gold of savings here this this happened in patch 3.2 3.2.2 where the writing skill was reduced the expert writing skills reduced to 250. so hundreds and hundreds of gold to be saved here and on top of it the faction discount so in tbc there were some faction discounts right it was honor hold and thrallmar uh in order to get a discounted epic flying mount or just any flying mount right from them and uh they they've changed this in the same three two two patch to be stormwind and orgrimmer respectively so if you go to thrallmar and you want to buy a mount if you're exalted with orgrimmar you're going to get a massive discount and this was mainly done because newly level 60 characters go and maybe want to buy a flying mount or something they're not going to have any honor hold or thralmar reputation they're probably going to have that storm in orgrimmar faction reputation instead so um if you're exalted with stormwind or orgrimmar if you're hoarder alliance and you go to buy an epic flying amount you can get it for 4 000 gold in wrath of lich king instead of 5 000 so another massive discount so i mean you add up all the savings probably almost like 2 000 gold savings if you just wait for wrath of lich king and buy your mounts then so if you're leveling an alt maybe you have a new max level character don't buy expert riding don't buy you know any any flying or epic flying just wait for raffle lich king it's gonna save you a bunch of gold to do it that way all right moving on to number two tip to save time and gold and wrath we have the vendor mount there's only one vendor mount in wrath of the lich king and that is the traveler's tundra mammoth this is the first ever vendor mount introduced in world of warcraft this is a beast of a mount the vendors literally supply you with reagents uh you can repair it's super handy and it'll save you so much time not having to go back to town uh to vendor your your grays and by reagents whether that's food or arrows or bullets or anks of reincarnation get some candles get symbols of divinity whatever whatever you need for your character right now it is worth noting you might be wondering what i could have sworn there were more than just the travelers mammoth for 20 000 gold that's true they are but they do not come with vendor mounts the uh sons of oh dear exalted mammoth does have two passenger slots but there are not vendors on that mount and the the um the grand black war mammoth that you get from vault of archivon one to two percent drop chance that does not have vendors on it either although it does have two uh like slots for passengers but it does not have vendors so the only mount that actually has vendors is the traveler's mammoth for 20 000 gold and that's probably why it's selling for 20 000 gold is because it's got the vendors and that's so awesome so that's going to save you a ton of time it's going to save you gold ultimately maybe you're grinding you know graze i don't know but um the vendor mount is super awesome and it's really kind of like a status symbol like you have 20 000 gold you were able to drop on a freaking vendor mount really really cool i remember i was just so poor i go around anyone i see with that mount i'm like come back come back i need to vendor it's hilarious i'm sure you've done the same thing it's awesome all right coming in at number three we have summoning stones there were some really big summoning stone changes in wrath and in tbc but basically forget everything you remember about tbc because it's all changed there really aren't any level requirements for summoning stones in wrath and this is important because well i mean you now you know like you can summon anyone of any level to any summoning stone except they have to be above level 15. this can save you time and frustration you know if you're level 14 and you're like hey summon me you know so that i can go do i don't know rage fire chasm can't summon you sorry and it's actually interesting because you had to be level 15 if you wanted to do uh rdf random dungeon finder or whatever dungeon finder uh level 15 was the minimum so it was actually perfectly aligned like the summoning stones and rdf and because there's no rdf in wow classic you will be using summoning stones much more frequently so it's good to know the level requirements are nixed i was thinking like for boosting it could be helpful right but boosting is is pretty much ruined gone uh once wrath lich king pre-patch hits they're gonna implement like the xp cut that we saw in season of mastery we're also gonna see uh mobs can't really be chain snared like they were uh that happens with boosting a lot so boosting is dead come raph all right number four this one is straightforward but i want to give you some details number four is heirloom gear this will save you a ton of time because it's gonna make it you level your characters faster it's arguably one of the biggest changes to the leveling experience and wrath of lich king it's gear that gets better as you level grants increased experience from mobs and quests pretty much all sources and it's a game changer because it's going to encourage everyone to make more alts more characters and it's going to completely change your leveling experience because you're not replacing this gear ever really until your max level now you get these by buying them from vendors in dalaran and also wintergrasp the ones in dalaran you purchase with emblems of heroism you get emblems of heroism from doing heroics and 10 man raids not to be confused with emblems of valor which dropped from 25 man raids there's also emblems of triumph emblems of frost and emblems of conquest now as content patches were released in wrath of the lich king emblems kind of evolved along with it so it does get a little bit confusing now the other place i did mention was winter grasp where you can buy heirlooms from you can buy these using a currency called stone keepers shards which you attain from doing wintergrasp quests like uh there's even there's a quest called victory in winter grasp you know just go and win a match of wintergrasp you know whether that's like defending or attacking just win win the battle and you get like 10 stone keepers shards there's quests like toppling the towers which involves destroying you guessed it towers in winter grass so there's plenty of quests in winter grass where you can start getting those stone keepers shards and the wintergrasp heirloom vendor is actually the only vendor to sell the trinket heirloom which you might want to get if you're one of if you're on one of those very rare pvp servers where it's actually balanced and you actually see the opposing faction while you're leveling um i've never heard of such a thing but um anyways um there's also one other heirloom that many people probably overlook and you actually need to have your fishing skill pretty high level for this because you have to win the callaway fishing derby now this happens each saturday it's very similar to the stranglethorn fishing extravaganza extravaganza which happens happens each sunday for this one the catalog fishing derby you need to catch a black tip shark this is super rare you could fish like all day and you wouldn't find it any body of water can have it in northrend um but when you get it the reward for turning it in first is this amazing dread pirate ring which is a heirloom ring very very awesome to get on a mega server you can bet this will be super tough to get because you know how many people will be probably participating in it but you know you'll probably eventually get it as time goes on but um very very cool there's tons of heirlooms to get tons of weapons trinkets armor it's awesome so heirlooms very cool addition will save you a bunch of time while you're leveling all right coming in at number five we have moley the portable mailbox for engineers but anyone can use it once it is placed now this is a huge time saver if you're out in the wilderness farming you can easily mail all the stuff you farm to a bank alt and then keep farming save you a bunch of time from going back to town now combine this with that vendor mount we were talking about and you literally don't need to go back to town you can just vendor the grays mail the white items the prior sorry the eternals you know any other item you've ever found you've been farming just mail it to your bank all it's amazing also if you're an engineer you should really take advantage of the wormhole generator northrend you can get around super quickly to where you want because when you use it you actually get a list of options of places you want to go right and so you can save a lot of time getting around now some of those options are bree and tundra which will actually teleport you super high above the lake in brian tundra which you will survive the fall from if you choose howling fjord you'll end up on a ledge on top of utgard keep you'll you'll either need a flying mount with cold weather flying or a parachute to get down from there but also if you like want to go to ut guard keep it's good to know anytime you choose howling fjord you're basically using your wormhole generator to teleport yourself to guard keep so keep that in mind if you're like oh i'm an engineer i know i'm going to be farming utgart keep heroic because i want that blue proto drake dude you got the wormhole generator which you might as well just rename to the guard keep hearthstone so pretty cool tip there if you choose uh scholazar basin you're gonna land on a ledge on one of the pillars uh you'll need flying or a parachute to get down could also be good to just get to show lazar because that's a super popular farm spot for like engineers miners herbalists like it's a great farm spot even if you're like skinning or or just uh gathering crystallized water and earth or air like it's it's a great farm spot so show lazar is a place you want to get to frequently if you choose ice crown you'll land on a mountainside you know you can get down safely you might take some falling damage but most importantly in my opinion is you can choose the storm peaks this one lands you right above the meeting stone for ulduar now i think everyone will probably be doing ulduar so come phase two you'll you know if you like to raid this is a super easy way to get to ulduar basically like in ulduar hearthstone you know if you want it to be um so this this wormhole generator is fantastic um highly recommend if you're an engineer get this use it to get around northwind super quick save you a bunch of time now i should note that there's also the underground option this will teleport you to a chamber below the hoard section of dalaran and there's actually a vendor sitting there called k two g and she sells three limited stock engineering items the schematic arcanite dragonling methoral mechanical dragonling and mechanical dragonling it's kinda cool but nothing crazy you'll definitely want to have a hearthstone ready or a summon because you are stuck down there if you don't have either of those up by the way so keep that in mind when you choose that option all right number six we have profession linking now this is pretty straightforward but honestly it is a time saver you can finally let everyone know what you're able to make quickly and easily by giving a clickable link that allows anyone who clicks it to see exactly what your trade skill is able to do as if they opened it it's a great quality of life change for everyone instead of having to list out all the enchants your you know gems you can cut you can just link your profession for people it's really awesome change and helps a lot of players who want to make some gold from their profession be able to you know just post the link and that's it it's really cool all right number seven enchanting vellums now these are very very helpful for both the enchanters and people who need enchants and i would say enchanters can really rejoice now because previously they were just spamming you know all the enchants that they have in the trade chat but now you can just list them on the auction house and you have a way to make gold with your profession uh while you're not actually you know enchanting stuff and i think this also saves players time with getting their gear enchanted because now they don't be like looking for enchanter for berserking or whatever you might be looking for so next time you win your best in slot item you won't need to spam trade chat looking for an enchanter you can just go to the auction house type in your enchant buy a scroll with your enchantment on it and boom you're done it's pretty nifty now if you like this video you might like this video where i asked the question and answer it is world of warcraft still casual friendly i think it's an awesome video that dives into some of the problems that blizzard has been trying to solve check it out and i'll see you there take care
