How do you get free xp on World of Warcraft?

There's no real "free XP", you have to earn every bit of it. However, there are some ways to get a bonus to how much XP you earn from killing monsters and questing.

One example is by buying heirloom items (chest and shoulders) each giving a 10% bonus to the XP you earn. There is also a ring you can win from winning the Ka'luak Fishing Derby which gives 5% XP bonus.

Second, if you log out at an inn, you get a bonus called "rested" which is gained the longer you do not play this character. When you start playing the character, you gain 200% XP. This was done so that people who have little playtime can catch up with their friends.

Finally, if you enter the Recruit-a-Friend program, as long as you and your friend adventure together you gain 300% XP. This lasts until level 60, and does not stack with the Rested bonus.

What is the best mage race in WoW?

i would go for either Gnomes because they have engineering which is a good mix, or Undead because the mix of mana tap (swap health for mana) and the Undead's racial ability cannibalism (gain health from dead humanoids) is a fantastic mix as well.

What is a World of Warcraft public test realm?

A World Of Warcraft (WoW) Public Test Realm is a realm that has the next unreleased patch or update data installed. This is open to anyone and is totally free for all users with active accounts. All you have to do is download the updated client. Blizzard uses these realms to test their unreleased updates, so they can make any amendments or improvements to the updates before it is released.

It is installed just like the live client, except it should go into a separate directory other than the one your live client is in.

What is the best mount in World of Warcraft?

What class should you be in wow?

Almost everyone believes that there is an overpowered class in the game. I think that it is generally understood that the Paladin is the most powerful in terms of pvp and leveling.

What is the Night Elf Mohawk?

The Night Elf Mohawk (grenade) is a special grenade that does not do any damage. It replaces the face and hair of anyone that gets caught in the "blast" with that of a likeness of "Mr. T" with Night Elf ears and a Mr T. Mohawk, hence, the Night Elf Mohawk.

This is a special item that is not in the game at all times, and Blizzard only pulls it out every so often as it is one of those advertising gimmicks.

What is the best wow private server?

Private servers in WoW are servers that are not connected to the official servers in any way. They basically are hacked copies of the WoW servers. Do not support them.

-

I support the private servers, first of all they are free, second of all they are different than the actual game and have different rules, monsters, and areas, third of all they all aren't copies. I support the private servers.

-

1. Yes, they are free. But you do not have the quality GM's that the official servers have. GM's on private servers are not bound by any rules. they do what they want when they want.

2. you might have different models or what not, but if they are not the same as the official servers, then you are not playing the game.

3. If you are not connected with the official servers, they ARE copies.

How much ram do you need for wow?

Answer:The game itself will take up 10 to 20 gigs of Hard Disk Space: 10 for plain World of Warcraft, 12-15 for Burning Crusade, 15-20 for Wrath of the Lich King.

Answer:Recommendations are 512 MB for Macintosh version, 1 GB ram for Wintel PC's. It's been run on Macs with 256MB and PCs with 512 MB. It runs faster and better with more memory and expect to have at least a 300MHz Video card with a minimum of 128MB. If you use the lower end memory hardware, expect screen rates to be between 5 and 15 frames per second depending on screen resolution.

What is the best dps class in 4.0.1?

Since 4.01 just came out a little bit ago people have been trying to find the best class and spec for highest dps. There are a couple classes right now that are extremely powerful, one being the arcane mage. It is so powerful, that Blizzard nerfed (adjusted their spells) big time. They can still be the top dog in raids right now. There are rumors that they may have been buffed as well, these are lies.

You also have to keep in mind that Blizzard is mostly balancing the spells and abilities of all the classes around being level 85, not 80. So what might be extremely powerful now, might just get replaced with another class.

Due to this balancing, it is possible to do the best damage with any class if you know what you're doing.

How come your wow private server is always down it says login server is down?

How can you get your husband to stop playing World of Warcraft?

There are several ideas below, as well as several more in the Discussion section for this question. The important thing is: Find somebody who you and him can talk to face-face. You need to find out if it is just a strong passion or if it is an addiction/obession. Based on that, will help shape how you move forward with it. Another thing, the only person who you can for-sure change behavior is yourself. The other person can be motivated to change, but everybody's motivation is different.

Maybe if you tried playing the games with him and show a true interest about the games, he will be more inclined to try something you want to do with the family. For men video games are a way to escape the stress and conflict of everyday life. My wife showed an interest and we now set time aside for video games and I set time aside for family. Hope this helps...

He needs to get his priorities straight. A game can never even begin to compare with the importance of family. Honest, open, and straightforward communication is the best idea. Try not to sound too accusing or angry though, because that will probably make him feel defensive.

Wow-it is nice to hear someone like me....It is sad but I just broke off my engagement and cancelled my wedding due to my fiance putting in 55 hours a week on his computer. He works 10 hours days as well. So to make a long story short-he spent no time with me at all. I tried to involve myself in his world. I really did. I showed an extreme interest in his realm. However, he did not want me in his world. He would get irritable if I interrupted his PC time. We literally spent 10 mins a day together and that was when he would suck down his dinner really fast and return to his PC. He skipped meals and he lets me do everything inside and out. He also lets his personal hygiene go as well. Thing is I can't afford to live on my own.

My advice to you is you could try to play with him but if he shuts you out I think you have huge problems you will need to address immediately. From what I have gone through if this were to occur again-I would be very direct about the issue. Sell the computer!

Good luck

Speaking from experience: I used to play video games because of things I was missing from real life. A sense of strength, control, adventure, excitement, sense of accomplishment, relative freedom from responsibility, etc. All these can be granted through video games, and are often missing from the real lives of those who play too much.

Ask yourself - is he missing any/all of these elements from his real life? If so, how can you show him that video games are not as good as getting these from real life/family time? Is it possible in your current environment? What needs to change inside your family dynamic so that these needs are met? Chances are that not all of these needs can be met outside of video games (freedom from responsibility, for example), so don't expect him to sell the system any time soon (except to buy another one). But if you can show him that he can find strength, limited control, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment (on a consistent basis) he will probably begin to reduce the amount of time spent on the games.

I am in the same situation. I have tried to play the video games with him with a true interest and he does not want me to play because then there is a "Split screen". He too lets his personal hygiene go, and doens't spend enough time with our son because he's too busy yelling at us to get out of the way of the screen. He is a student retaking a class he took last term that he got a D in. Sad to say he was quite proud of his "D" stating that he is a genious for getting a "D" and not even trying hard in the class. Now he is retaking the class because he was told that a "D" is not going to get him into a program he wants to get into. He still isn't studying like he should, possibly wasting more money on another "D" although he may be pulling a "C" if he's lucky. Besides that he works 4 days a week, so he's not full time. I am in school myself. I was taking 14 credits but I ended up in the hospital (I'm pregnant) and had to withdraw from one course so now I'm only in school 2 days a week and not working. I have supported us financially with money I had in the bank. The money is now gone and it's up to him to support us. We luckily don't pay rent, and I am very good with managing money. My point is he thinks that because he works 4 days a week and he is in school for 2 hours on one of his days off, he is entitled to play video games all day every day on our living room television. Forcing me and my 3 year old son to tip toe around making sure we don't walk in front of our only television to block his view. Besides that I can't stand to see him wasting away sitting on the couch cursing into his earpiece in front of my son, this is a terrible example of what a man should be and I need my son to have a good male role model! I know this was about me, but I'm sorry I needed to vent. Good luck with your situation. I don't know what to tell you because I can't even help myself.

My guy and I been together for 12 years. Recently he started work on the computer and needed something to do when waiting here or there at times, so he found an online game and now half-azzzes his real work and stays on all day and night also. No time for us and when we are together all I see is little computer men like super Mario bros. NOT sexy. Almost 2 years now of no housework indoors or outdoors and no fun for sure.

Where and how do you get a guild tab on World of Warcraft?

You can add a chat tab quite easily by right clicking an existing window, click create new window, and giving the window a name (a popup will open asking for the name).

After that it is just a matter of choosing what you want the window to display by editing the settings for the window (right click the window and choose Settings).

How do you change stance bar in WoW?

The default Blizzard interface includes Stance bars, which will replace your normal bar if in a particular form or stance. Examples are shifting to Bear or Cat form as a Druid, Shadow form as a priest, or Defensive/Battle/Berserker stances as a warrior.

To see this bar, simply change into a particular stance, and you will be able to alter the abilities slotted in that bar. At any time you get into a stance, that bar will pop up.

On most addon-generated action bars, you can also use the scroll button of the mouse to scroll between bars.

At what level do druids learn to shapeshift in World of Warcraft?
