I do the same thing. I think it is fine.
There's a wand vendor in Org if you get stuck
13:44 to be fair:
– Moonbrook is known for killing low level peeps, not only because of the mob density, but because of the Defias Pillagers hard-hitting fireballs. Independently of the class, you would probably have issues there, save for bubble running as a paladin, or sacrificing your voidwalker as a warlock;
– There are equivalent zones on the horde leveling path, but you should already know that, based on the shaman run haha. To mention a few: Skull Rock (especially the named mob that you need to kill at the end of a quest chain), The Kolkar casters in Barrens, and the ENTIRE samophlange quest. There are some other deathtraps in Mulgore and Stonetalon, but those are a bit more obvious, like the rare Quilboar that nets you, and the elite spider quest that you get from a wanted poster.
I've been trying to play along, and was reminded of the layer issue that will also be a headache for hardcore characters: Sometimes, mobs respawn instantly, and to aggravate things, some spawns are collective – meaning that some camps and other specific places will always spawn like a dozen mobs at the same time. Two examples that come to mind in Tirisfal Glades are:
– The named gnoll inside a house, that you need to kill for a quest, he has some company inside and around his little house;
– The entire undead population inside the Agamand Hills crypt. That place is a deathtrap, be careful.
Don’t forget the deviate fish for peak fashion!
Maybe try using powerword: shield when needed rather than at start of combat? Saves mana and you get a full shield if trouble arrives
21:12 you are correct: you basically only need to level enchanting to 70 so you can make both early-game wands. I'm playing as a warlock so that's more or less my plan too. After getting to this point, I'll switch Enchanting for a money making profession, like Mining or Skinning (vendoring those items is still very lucrative, despite not being able to sell them at the AH), while keeping Tailoring, since you can make some very good spellpower gear for cheap.
You can also ditch both professions and get Engineering+Mining or Alchemy+Herbalism: both combos are very good for hardcore characters, the former for early helmet slots and gadgets (like the grenades that apply blindness), and the latter for the many useful consumables.
22:24 not exactly waterbreathing, but REALLY good lung capacity – 300% more, as far as I know.
EDIT: nevermind, you checked on the spellbook. I'll keep the commentary, for the record.
You should go to your enchanting trainer where you will find a supply person and purchase the iron rods
copper rod is enchanting supplies/ general trade good or supplies. No ah needed.
Enchanting drops off later when you aren't able to get higher level enchanting Rods because they come from blacksmiths
45:17 —-> EVERY SINGLE REASON EVER WHY I DONT PLAY HARDCORE WOW AND JUST WATCH OTHERS PLAY IT
9:00 are you messing with me? You are, aren’t you. Clearly “harth”! 😂
Check the enchanting vendor on UC, also depends on how many are buying then
Hi rambles is there any way you can make your char level more visible as I can never tell what level you are ?
In the chunk of England I'm from, we definitely say "Harth". But there are plenty of dialects that say "Hurth", and even ones that say things like "'Orth" or "Heerth". So, frankly, you pays yer money and you takes yer choice.
I feel that if it keeps you alive longer, it's worth it as long as it takes!
the enchanting vendor sells the rods
This video randomly showed up in my recommendations and I don't even play WoW anymore (quit Classic before tbc came out) but this video was still very cool. I've seen some ppl do this hardcore thing as a soft revival(?) for vanilla classic? Is the hardcore checker official or is it an addon? Anyway, these videos will make for some great background stuff 👍
As previously stated enchanting supplies vendor and maybe others sell copper rods.
There's a vendor somewhere with a copper rod but I can NOT remember where lol
they changed forsaken underwater breathing passive in Cata. Currently in retail forsaken do not have to worry about breathing underwater. that is what you may be remembering.
I think the zone hopping on this character will help you early on. Easier to focus on green quests and it may take longer, but I think it's a better choice than grinding mobs because you feel unsafe with certain yellow quests you might have in your log.
I got a HC Undead Priest to 13. Then I walked away from my computer to help my kid with something. R I P
Go Shadow as it has the most benefits for an Undead Forsaken.
Get the 5/5 Spirit Tap talent followed by the stun for shadow spells talent as the RNG on it is unpredictably good.
You now open with Mind Blast+SW Pain and wand things til dead, you can't pull multiple mobs and need to abuse fear aoe but not chain more mobs into your death.
Do dungeons for cool wands and robes, you don't need spirit case you 5/5 talent you should be done by lv 15.
as others have said, enchanting to make lesser and greater magic wands, then drop it for a gathering prof, mining is good as the random gems you might get sell to vendors quite well, as well as the ore and stones that you will always get
Copper rods from trade goods vendor, maybe in the cities…?
I like the zone hopping. Change of scenery and you are enjoying it more. Makes for a better video.
It is Hearth as in Heart. The fireplace is known as the heart of the home. I'm speaking as a former chimney sweep.
Good video.
