Blizzard's WoW Classic Primer for New Players

What Is WoW Classic?
World of Warcraft Classic is a faithful recreation of the original WoW experience, as it was in 2006. Everything about the game—from combat mechanics and talent trees, to character models and zone layouts—has been restored to realize a truly authentic experience.



Minimum Requirements





Getting Started
All players with active World of Warcraft subscriptions or game time on their accounts have access to WoW Classic at no additional cost.


  • Open the Battle.net desktop app and select World of Warcraft from the menu.
  • Under the Version menu, select World of Warcraft Classic. If you have more than one World of Warcraft account, you’ll see a second dropdown for Account. Select the active account you wish to play on from that column.
  • Click the Install button. The progress bar will show you when the game is available to play.
  • Once the installation is complete, click the Play button.

You’ll need to select the realm you want to play on from a variety of available realm types. Make sure you pick the same one your friends play on—in World of Warcraft Classic, characters can only group with others on the same realm!

If you’re looking for a group of like-minded players, you can head over to the New Guild Listings forum to begin your search.


Realm Types
There are several different realm types to choose from. Choose carefully, as each one has a distinct play style.

  • Normal—This realm type is best for those who don’t want to take part in open world PvP. All zones are considered contested except for enemy faction cities, in which players will be automatically flagged for PvP. Players won’t be able to attack each other in contested areas unless they flag themselves for PvP with the command /PvP.
  • PvP (Player vs. Player)—This realm type allows for open world PvP in all areas except for designated “safe” or sanctuary areas, such as the starting zones where new players begin.
  • RP (Role-Play)—This realm type is best for those who wish to take part in role-play with others. This realm type uses the Normal ruleset and does not have open world PvP.
  • RP PvP (Role-play Player vs. Player)—RP PvP realms are for role-players who prefer the ruleset of PvP realms—expect open combat in contested areas.


Creating Your Character


After you’ve selected your realm, you’ll be able to create a character and begin your journey in earnest. You’ll choose your faction, class, and race, as well as fully customize your new character and give them a name. Select the Create New Character option to begin the process.

There are four Alliance races and four Horde races to choose from. Each faction has access to nine classes, and just like in the original release of World of Warcraft, the Paladin and the Shaman classes are restricted to the Alliance and the Horde respectively.


Each race has specific abilities and traits that can have a big impact on your gameplay, so choose wisely.

You’ll be able to create a maximum of 10 characters per WoW Classic realm, with a total maximum of 50 characters across all realms in your region. You’ll also be restricted to one faction (Horde or Alliance) on PvP realms.


Starting Locations and Capital Cities

Stormwind City


Orgrimmar


Eastern Kingdoms: Elwynn Forest


Eastern Kingdoms: Westfall


Kalimdor: Barrens

Each race begins in a specific region of Azeroth.



Abilities, Weapon Skills, Spells, and Talents
Characters in World of Warcraft Classic earn new abilities as they level, based on their class. You’ll have to train these abilities as you acquire them (or earn higher ranks of existing ones) by visiting class trainers located in the capital cities.


At level 10, you’ll gain access to class talents, which enable you to further customize your character. You earn a talent point with every level starting at 10, for a total of 51 points at level 60. Every class has three distinct talent trees, and you can spread your points among them as you wish, depending on your goals and play style.

You can visit your class trainer to reset your talent points at any time. The cost for doing so increases every time you reset your talents, up to a maximum of 50 gold.

If you need help figuring out where to spend your talent points, you can check out one of the many talent calculators created by the World of Warcraft community.


In World of Warcraft Classic, weapon skills are key if you want to perform well in combat. The more you use a specific weapon, the higher your skill in it will be, which has a substantial effect on your ability to hit your target. Each class is able to become proficient in specific types of weapons, and you’ll need to visit a weapons master in your capital city to learn any weapon skills available that you didn’t start out with.

Available Weapon Skills
  • Bows
  • Crossbows
  • Daggers
  • Guns
  • One-Handed Axes
  • One-Handed Maces
  • One-Handed Swords
  • Polearms
  • Staves
  • Swords
  • Thrown
  • Two-Handed Axes
  • Two-Handed Maces
  • Two-Handed Swords
  • Unarmed
  • Wands


Resources
Some classes require resources to cast specific spells or use certain abilities. Priests will need to purchase candles to cast Prayer of Fortitude, rogues will have to craft the poisons they apply to their weapons, and hunters will need to keep a supply of food specific to their pets to maintain their loyalty or risk losing them. And if your character uses a ranged weapon such as a bow, you’ll need to keep a stock of arrows.

Tip: Buffs don’t come cheap, so if you want to get a pocket healer to join you on your next adventure, you may just want to buy them a few supplies . . . out of the goodness of your heart, of course.


Professions


In WoW Classic, there are nine primary professions to choose from, and characters can learn up to two of them at once. Blacksmithing, Engineering, and Leatherworking professions also have additional specializations that can be learned from trainers around the world. There are also three secondary skills, and all characters can learn all three.

Primary Professions: Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Herbalism, Leatherworking, Mining, Skinning, and Tailoring
  • Blacksmiths can specialize in Armorsmithing and Weaponsmithing.
  • Engineers can specialize in Goblin or Gnomish Engineering.
  • Leatherworkers can specialize in Elemental Leatherworking, Dragonscale Leatherworking, or Tribal Leatherworking.

Secondary Skills: Cooking, First Aid, Fishing

Tip: Even a healing class can benefit from learning First Aid.


Transportation: Getting Around Azeroth
You’ll need to get to know Azeroth’s network of flight paths, ship routes, and zeppelins in order to get around. Once you reach level 40—if you’ve managed to accrue enough gold—you’ll be able to learn the riding skill and purchase your first mount.

Tip: You can also befriend a mage or two to get a quick portal to key locations. If you do get a mage to use their talents on your behalf, it’s a nice gesture to give them a tip. Alternatively, you can also get summoned by a warlock (with the help of two other players) to another location. You’ll need to be group up with either the mage or the warlock first.


Grouping Up and Looting
You’ll want to group up with others to take on powerful foes or complete quests more quickly. While in a party, you’ll get credit for shared kills, so everyone in your group can benefit.

Your party leader will be able to set loot distribution to specific rulesets, including:

  • Master Loot: The party leader determines who gets the loot.
  • Round Robin: Each party member loots in turn.
  • Group Loot: Party members can roll on powerful items.
  • Need Before Greed: Only party members who can use the item can roll on it.
  • Free-for-All: Anyone can loot anything.

Make sure you establish loot rules with your group before getting too far into your adventure. If there’s a specific item you want or need, you’ll want to understand how the group plans to handle distributing that item.


Raids and Dungeons


Stratholme


Molten Core

With the launch of WoW Classic, you’ll be able to take part in some of the dungeons and raids that defined the game in its earliest days. That said, you’ll need to find a few friends to join you first. The Looking for Group channel (/join LookingForGroup) is a great resource for finding players to group up with. If you want to summon them to your location, you’ll need to add a warlock to your group—otherwise, you’ll need to wait for them to make their way to you. If you travel to the entrance of a dungeon or raid, you can hover your mouse over the Meeting Stone outside to see the name of the dungeon and its level-range.

While soulbound items generally aren’t tradeable among players, there’s a two-hour window from the time an item drops from a raid boss where you can trade it another player in your raid group, provided they were present when the item was acquired.

This is just the start of your new adventure, and there’s a lot more to learn as you rediscover Azeroth. We wish you the best of luck—may your blade never dull!

Celebrate 15 Years of World of Warcraft With New Alabaster Mounts!

Patch 8.2.5 PTR - Finding Wrathion Quest Chain

Overframe.gg our Warframe website is now out of beta! Feel free to check it out if you're playing the game and looking for Warframe builds

Patch 8.2.5 PTR - Embassy Changes
The Patch 8.2.5 PTR has seen some changes to the faction embassies. The faction leaders have all left and only the Pandaren leaders remain with various representatives from the current allied races.

New


Old



Patch 8.2.5 PTR - Bee Mount Alliance Exclusive
We knew going into the PTR that the bee mount was going to be an Alliance specific quest chain, but many assumed it would work much like Kua'fon and Child of Torcali which are usable on Alliance even though the methods to obtain them are Horde exclusive. Currently on the PTR, the Honeyback Harvester's Harness is the only bee mount in the mount journal and has the Alliance symbol next to it, meaning it is only rideable by Alliance characters. This could change, however, as the PTR is still early.



Patch 8.2.5 PTR - New Addition to the Mount Journal Preview
Currently on the PTR, when you preview a mount in the Mount Journal, you now see your character riding the mount!



Patch 8.2.5 PTR - Party Sync New Quest Tracker UI Elements
The Patch 8.2.5 PTR is currently testing the new party sync feature, and the quest tracker ui now has two new icons to let you know if you are replaying a quest you completed and whether or not you will receive bonus loot for participating.




Patch 8.2.5 PTR - New Character Menu UI Updates
The Patch 8.2.5 PTR updated the character menu UI to display an opaque logo of the character's faction as well as their class name being color-coded like in game.
