While we all wait with baited breath for the new World of Warcraft expansion pack: The Wrath of the Lich King to drop upon us like a beam of light sent from the heavens above, what are you doing to prepare?
Details about the new expansion pack are being released in minor chunks here and there, but I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say that we’re all excited about the new Epic class: Death Knight.
From what I’ve read thus far, there’s a lot of peeps out there that are already making plans as to which class and race they’re going to set their Death Knight up as and how the heck they’re planning on (smartly) playing this new character.
Rizelle of Gurubashi is already on the ball and getting ready for the arrival. In a thread titled ‘I’m already playing my Death Knight’ over at the wow forums, she posts a few interesting tidbits to keep in mind:
- Farmed enough materials to powerlevel Engineering/First Aid/Cooking to 350, and farmed a few stacks of each precious ore (silver, gold, truesilver) to smelt for Mining levels (even though i’ll probably have to do some back mining anyway).
- Farmed up quite a bit of rep items to turn in upon hitting Outland. So far i’m up to 300x Unidentified Plant Parts, 150 Arakkoa Feathers, 80 Firewing Signets.
Smart thinking. I think a lot of us hit 70, max skills and professions, and then just want to start building up our purple gear sets. Sound familiar? Yeah, me too. So for a different bit of play strategy, why not take some queues from Rizelle, and start your farming today?
Is YOUR Death Knight prepared? If not…get started today…as there’ll be nothing more satisfying than having one of the first level 80 Death Knights on the block. As a side note…be prepared for the barrage of ‘Can you Tank our group’ whispers you’ll be receiving.
