Overview

World of Warcraft is a computer game developed by Blizzard Inc. It is a 'MMORPG', or Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. Taking place in a fictional online world, players interact with millions of other players worldwide. The game is fee-based and costs $14.99/month to play, $13.99 for a 3 month subscription, and if you are committed, the best deal offered is $12.99 for a six month subscription. This article will attempt to answer the most common questions about World of Warcraft (sometimes known as 'WoW') and playing it on the Macintosh platform.

Note: Most, but not all additions I have made are Alliance specific as I have no active Horde characters. If you see any links, comments, misc that need updating, feel free to update as you see fit as I am retired from this outstanding game. -Huntn.

[edit]

Compatibility

World of Warcraft is simultaneously developed for the Windows and Mac platforms, and the two versions are entirely interoperable.

[edit]

System Requirements

These are the minimum system requirements for Mac as posted by Blizzard (link):

Mac® OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.4, or newer:
- Intel processor
- 2 GB RAM or higher
- 25.0 GB available HD space
- 4X DVD-ROM Drive
- Broadband Internet connection

These are the recommended system requirements as posted by Blizzard:

Mac® OS X 10.6.4 or newer:
- Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor - NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GT or ATI Radeon™ HD 4670 or better
- 4 GB system RAM
- Multi-button mouse with scroll wheel

[edit]

Performance

World of Warcraft performance is a highly debated and asked-about topic. Typically performance is broken down into two categories: in-city performance, where there are many other players, and outdoor performance, where there are few other people on the screen. The game can be installed on most Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer, whether they meet the minimum requirements or not.

Key, assuming the graphics are all the way down, or only slightly enhanced:
Poor: Averaging less than 10fps outdoors, unable to function in cities/raids.
Weak: Averaging between 10 and 20fps outdoors, 1-5fps in cities/raids.
Decent: Averaging between 20 and 30fps outdoors, 5-20fps in cities/raids.
Good: Averaging between 30 and 40fps outdoors, 20-30fps in cities/raids.
Excellent: Averaging greater than 50fps outdoors, greater than 30fps in cities/raids.




[edit]

Core Duo

Poor to Weak

Computers with Core Duo processors are supported, however, the game will be barely playable due to the processor speeds, the video cards that came with these macs, and their RAM capacity.

[edit]

Core 2 Duo

Decent to Excellent

The Core 2 Duo has been used by Apple extensively, and because of this, the range of video cards that come with a Core 2 Duo processor vary tremendously.

[edit]

Core i3/i5/i7

Good to Excellent

The Core iX processors all come with video cards that are more than capable of handling world of warcraft at maximum settings.

WoW Issues on Your Mac

  • new Slow Download Speeds 4-14-09- If you get the dreaded "your computer appears to be behind a firewall" message and you're experiencing glacial patch downloads from Blizzard, consider downloading the latest Mac WoW patch from BigDownLoad.com. Note: This link points specifically at the 3.1 patch and maybe perishable. Frequently I get the dreaded message despite the fact that I have my firewall open and ports forwarded. If you get this message, there is a link that appears within the downloader that takes you to Blizzard's configuration pages for both your firewall and your router (if you have one). Give it a shot! But on my MacBookPro, these settings made no difference in my download speed. My download today after sitting for 8+ hours was only at 225MB. The download from BigDownLoad.com finished in 28 min at 441KB/sec. The patch installed without incident.- Hunt'n.
  • Reinstalling WoW from Scratch- Do you want to start playing WoW again but have uninstalled WoW and dread reinstalling the game along with GBs of patches to download? There is not a universal update that with a single patch will make the client current. Depending on the age of your WoW install DVD, bunches of patches must be downloaded and installed a process that can take 5 hours or longer. As an alternative to this time consuming process, head over to www.worldofwarcraft.com. In the upper left corner in the Account Section, select Manage Account to log in. Under the Free Services section there is an option to download the game client. If your original plan was to install the game from a real old WoW DVD, this might be a better option. Either way it's not going to be a super fast install because the game with both expansions totals close to 14GB. (from post by Digitard in MR forums 12/28/08.)
  • Macs with HD2600 graphics cards, Mac OS 10.5.5 and setting the video to 8x Multisampling crashes computer. See this Blizzard Mac Technical Support thread for more. The suggested solution is lowering the Multisampling setting.

WoW Add Ons

  • Carbonite includes quest helper and more. One of the most helpful features is the warehouse which if you pick something up, will give a readout of the total number of like items held by all of your toons.
  • CTMod- Buff Mod shows buffs on party members.
  • Quest Helper- excellent questing guide. Simpler look than Carbonite. In many zones, desired mobs can be found in many spots on the map. Quest Helper does a better job of identifying the different spots that you are near than Carbonite does. This developer for this AddOn announced that he will no longer be updating it anymore, so finding an alternative is recommended.
[edit]

WoW Keybindings

An ever-present argument in the WoW community is that of the usability of Keybindings. For example, there is an ever-growing rift between clickers and more hardcore players that utilize keybindings. Casual WoW players often say that they are comfortable using their mouse to cast spells and use abilities, however more experienced players rightfully point out that the ease of use of a layout with keybindings is an advantage that could take any WoW player to the next level.

A Quartermaster blurb is also in the Class Misc Spec section.


  • Gahz'rilla: Since the expansions, Gahz'rilla can be summoned without a charged hammer. Old Info: The Gahz'rilla Quest location: Zul Farek Instance in Tanaris. To complete this quest, Gahz'rilla must be summoned and put down. See Zul'Farrek Instance Quest link and How To Summon Gahz'rilla info below. Quest reward is "Carrot on a Stick", a trinket the increases mounted speed by 3% and also stacks with spurs if you are so equipped. A Sacred Mallet would be obtained from a mob located at the top of the Altar of Zul in the Hinterlands and then it would be charged at the alter located high a top Jintha'Alor (located in S.E Hinterlands). Later in the Zul'Farrek Instance in Tanaris, the "charged" hammer is used to summon Gahz'rilla from a large rectangular pool by hitting a "gong" at the end of the pool. Obtaining the mallet is not officially part of a quest, although most players will run across this item when they do the Altar of Zul Quest which is part of a chain quest starting with Witherbark Cages offered by Gryphon Master Talonaxe. Achieving the Mallet requires fighting 2-3 mobs, one a L50 (non-elite) at the top of the alter at the same time. Once the Sacred Mallet is in inventory, examine it and read "Use at Jintha'Alor alter to create the Mallet of Zul'Farrak". If you have never done it before, player descriptions in the Mallet of Zul'Farrak link offer excellent info on how to get to the top of Jintha'Alor which is large and takes some time to work through. Jintha'Alor is located on the South side of the Hinterlands to the East of the Altar of Zul almost on the coast. Another link to the Mallet of Zul Farrek.

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.

[edit]

GEAR, Baby!

  • These links may also be posted in appropriate class sections below.
  • 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. Outside of dungeons, it is the easiest way to gain access to some nice gear...

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. Don't overlook Inscriptions that can be purchased such as the Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle that can be purchased from The Sons of Hodir in Storm Peaks. More items may be posted. Check the quartermaster link, then pick an individual Quartermaster to see the list of gear they offer. For more reputation and gear, also check out dailies and gear available through The Argent Crusade in Dragon Blight, Zul'Drak, and Icecrown (Veteran Crusader Aliocha Segard). See this Daily Quest link at WoWWiki for all of the Daily quests that can be used to increase reputation by faction.

  • Tabbards- Don't over look tabbards which can be purchased from quartermasters. When worn in a L80 dungeon you get rep with that particular faction.
  • A Must Resource for Pally Tanks Protection Palladin Field Manual- at ElitistJerks.com. Very worthwhile reading. Includes gear that any Plate wearing character would want.
