Horde Hunter: Which Race is Best?

This information is verified to be accurate as of World of Warcraft Patch 3.3.x.

As I pointed out in my Horde Warlock Race Guide, you should choose a Horde race based on their unique traits. These racial traits occasionally figure into game play, but, as every Forsaken rogue knows, these game-changing racial traits can and will be changed. With that in mind, choose a race that suits your playstyle or just looks cool.

The Total Noob Project

Lately, I’ve been leveling a protection paladin in order to do some tanking. Even though I’m leveling as protection rather than retribution, the early going has been much easier than expected. This is helped by the fact that I’m wearing both the shoulder and chest BOA pieces. This gives me two blue equivalent items in those spots as well as a 20% XP advantage. This got me thinking, what must it be like for a completely new player to level today?

And thus, the Total Noob Project is born.

So, I’m going to start a completely new toon on a server I’ve never played on before. I’m going to pick a server that is specifically flagged for new players. Therefore, I should be on a fairly new server with no friends or high-level alts I can depend on. That means no BOA items and no 20 slot bags!

Since my preferred realm is Horde and my favorite class is hunter, I’ll choose both of those. This gives me a bit of an advantage because I’ve played both of these before. But, I’m still going to have to make it completely on my own.

In a future post, I’ll post information about my new toon.

Maximizing Fuel Gifts

Currently, your Farmville neighbors are able to gift you a 1/5 tank of fuel. A normal fuel tank holds 150 units and replenishes at 1 unit every 2.5 minutes. To get the most benefit from the 1/5 fuel tank gifts, you should redeem one gift every time your tank is full. Since you can have additional tanks of fuel stored up, this will push you over the limit and into a new tank. You can then let that tank fill up over time and end up with an additional full tank.
