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 send me a Personal Message. Thanks! -Huntn.

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 10.3.9:
933 MHz or higher G4, or G5, or Intel processor
512 MB RAM or higher; DDR RAM recommended
ATI or NVIDIA® video hardware with 32 MB VRAM or more
6.0 GB available HD space
4x CD-Rom drive
56k or better Internet connection

These are the recommended system requirements as posted by Blizzard:

Mac® OS X 10.3.9 or newer:
1024 MB RAM or higher; DDR RAM recommended
ATI or NVIDIA® video hardware with 64 MB VRAM or more
Broadband Internet connection

[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 Macs running Mac OS X 10.3.9 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]

G3 Systems

Poor to Weak

Computers with G3 processors are not technically supported, however the game will run on the newest of them. G3s faster than 800mhz, with more that 1gb of RAM, at least 64mb of graphics memory, and with a fast (7200rpm+) hard drive can expect relatively weak performance with the graphics settings at their lowest.

[edit]

G4 Systems

Weak to Good

Computers with G4 processors vary widely in their performance in World of Warcraft. Dual-processor G4s often display surprisingly decent performance at slow processor speeds, between 700 and 900mhz, which are not technically supported. Computers slower than 700mhz, even with maximum RAM and graphics card will typically perform weakly. Here is a breakdown of the various G4 systems that can be used to play WoW and how they hold up:

  • G4 Towers- Being the most customizable, G4 towers have the most WoW potential. Dual processor machines, greater than 1ghz, having greater than 64mb of VRAM, with 1gb+ of RAM will show decent to good performance. Slower machines will still perform decently, but the amount of RAM and VRAM remain extremely important.
  • G4 Powerbooks- G4 Powerbooks represent a wide range of computers, but can easily be broken down into Titanium and Aluminum models. Titanium Powerbooks are at the low-end of being able to run the game. As usual, the faster the machine, the faster it will run the game. Don't expect great performance from Titanium powerbooks. Aluminum models range from weak performance to good performance. The amount of installed RAM and VRAM make a huge difference, with the 1.67ghz Powerbooks with 128mb VRAM and 1gb+ of RAM will exhibit the best performance, in the 'good' range.
  • G4 iBooks- The graphics card in the iBook G4s does not provide for the best playing, but WoW will perform weakly to decently. The amount of installed RAM is just about the only customizable part, and having the most possible will make the biggest difference in gameplay.
[edit]

Mac Minis

The Mac Mini is essentially the same as the iBook G4, and will exhibit pretty much the same performance.

[edit]

G5 Systems

Decent to Excellent

  • G5s will show the best performance in WoW. Any model faster than Single-Processor 1.8ghz has the memory and processing power to run the game well, and the rest of the performance depends on the graphics card. A fast graphics card with a lot of VRAM (256mb+), in a SP G5 with a 2.0ghz+ processor will run the game at maximum graphics settings and very rarely drop below 40fps. This cannot be said of any other Mac systems. The G5s are the best computers for the game, and, being customizable, can all provide consistently high frame rates. Graphical settings can be customized to balance eye candy with performance.
  • G5 iMacs will run the game well, but since the graphics card is not customizable performance will depend on the revision of the computer itself. Newer revisions with better graphics cards will perform better.
  • 2008 Update- If your frame rate slows to a crawl in expansion areas, if you are at 1GB ram or less, try upping your ram. On my 1.8 GB dual G5 tower, increasing ram from 1GB to 2 GB helped alot!- Hunt'n

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
  • Socketable Gear- When you have gear with a socket, get those gems installed! See Jewel Crafting for what gems give which attributes.
