WoW Expansions

• Also see NPC/Quest Info Section for TBC and WoTLK related links.

• See the MacRumor WoW Dungeon Boss Summaries Guide for specific boss strategies.

Summary

World of Warcraft features three expansions: The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm. They should be bought in that order. However, since patch 4.2.0, The Burning Crusade is free and once you buy or own World of Warcraft, your account will be upgraded to this expansion as well. The Burning Crusade offers Outland, a continent that lets you level your characters from 60 to 70, two new races and respective starting zones: Draenei (Alliance) and Blood Elf (Horde), as well as additional dungeons and raids. Wrath of the Lich King offers Northrend, a Nordic continent that lets your characters level from 70 to 80, one new hero-class: Death-Knight, as well as additional dungeons and raids. To start playing a Death Knight, you need at least one character at level 55 or beyond on that realm. Cataclysm offers a revamped Azeroth, additional high-level zones for characters up to level 85, two new races: Worgen (Alliance) and Goblins (Horde), a new glyph system, revamped talent trees, new race/class combinations, and extra dungeons and raids for level 85 characters. Much of the content is available for all players, including those who have not bought the Cataclysm expansion, like the revamped Azeroth and new race/class combinations.

WoW Class Info

GEAR, Baby!

• A Must Resource WoWArmory- an indispensable database of WoW Gear organized in by category, by dungeon, by gear type, etc. Select a category of items such as Weapon> 1 handed mace. Turn on the "Item Filter" if it does not come on automatically and search.

• A Must Resource WoW-Heroes.com. Most excellent site to look up your character and evaluate your gear. It shows gear ratings and even makes suggestions for upgrades.

• A Must Resource Valuable Gear is available from QuarterMasters based on Reputation. This is something that can be overlooked. For whatever faction you are currently increasing you rep through questing, see if there is a quartermaster and the gear they have for sale.

Misc Gear Tank Oriented Ivory Reinforced ChestGuards- Honored with Kalu'ak (Sairuk) in Dragonblight; Cloak of Peaceful Resolutions and Sabatons of Draconic Vigor- Honored with Wyrmrest Accord, Reins of the Red Drake revered with the Wyrmrest Accord, see (Ceilstrasza Quartermaster) in Wyrmrest Temple.
