Question about stating a twink on the opposite faction...

[kangrave]

Well, my main is an lli char, but with the impending dwarf and draenei priest nerf (and consequently even furthering UD Priest OPness) I wanna start the twink I'm gonna create as a horde toon. I already have 2 of the items I wanna usei n the alli toon's bank. So my question is would the best (if not only) way of gtting items to my will be twink to put the item in a neutral auction house and have the horde toon buy it? Seeing as that means I'd have to first buy a very expensive crap item from my horde toon to give him enough gold to purchase I will be losing a lot of gold in the process... Just seeing if there was any other way... :(

You can't bid on any auctions made by your account.

Give the items to a buddy and get him to post them on the neutral ah for an outrageous price that you purchase it for and that he gave you the money for (the AH) in advance.

Here's my little timmy's pea shooter please post it on the AH for 300G and get him to give you 300G in advance. Then log on and buy it for said amount and he gets his money back (though he has to wait an hour - so give him a tip or something nice for his time without his money)

But I know nobody on my server IRL who plays WoW. :( None of my firends do, lol. So that means I have to trust sombody else with my items. XD

[Xlorep DarkHelm]

you could always get one of your friends to make a character on your server, and then get them to booty bay.

Well since you play quite a while on your server already isn't there anyone you can trust then? :s

Afaik the best way is to give the item(s) you want to transfer to an alliance friend, who puts it on the neutral AH for 1c buyout. Do this very early or late.
You just stand next to that friend with your twink and when for example he/she cheers it's the sign that the item is posted. Now you can buyout at no cost within 2 seconds.

But well if you really want to twink you need help to do quests and get quest rewards ofc. If you want to twink as a priest in the 29s you'll want the Skullbreaker for example, and you won't get it on your own.

Right.

Chastise is not totally going to rock for Priests in PvP.

*groan*

[moopy]

Aerath,

Faces will melt? :)

[kangrave]

No, I agree Chastise might be helpful for slowing pursuers down, but thats what spamming SW:P is for with blackout in my build. And the tiwkn I'm making is gonna be the FC so WoTF is much more useful, and for my purposes the loss of a very competent fear ward is a nerf. And yeah, I think I can trust peeps, lol, but hwen dealing with a bunch of BoE items worth 100s of gold, who knows? >_<

. If you want to twink as a priest in the 29s you'll want the Skullbreaker for example, and you won't get it on your own.

I realize that the skullbreaker is the highest one hand mace for a 29 but with the stats so low (only 5 int and 3 stam) why would you want that over say:

Lorekeeper's Staff (the level 29 version though - this one comes up no matter how I link it it seems)
Advisor's Gnarled Staff (Horde Version - same stats as below)

Lorekeeper's Staff (the lvl 29 version)
Binds when picked up
Two-Hand Staff
64 - 97 Damage Speed 2.90
(27.8 damage per second)
+11 Stamina
+7 Intellect
Durability 100 / 100
Requires Level 28
Equip: Restores 4 mana per 5 sec.

- which is free with some WSG marks and a bit of honor -

or to have a hand free for an OH item:

Death Speaker Scepter

Is there some benefit to that mace?

[xDarkDrifterx]

Edit: But can't edit lol I got busy at work.

Just noticed the item level on this weapon next to Windstorm Hammer . . .TBC enchantable.

Forget my above question :wink:

Yes. The mace is a lvl35+ item so you can have +81 Healing or +40 SD on it.
And I use it together with the Witch's Finger.
Together: +12 int, +7 sta and a lvl35+ enchant.
Not bad compared to the Lorekeeper's Staff/Advisor's Gnarled Staff.
(Btw afaik it's a horde-only quest reward).

Next to that I find the horde pvp staff really ugly .. the mace isn't pretty either of course - but with a +40 Spell+Healing enchant it looks ok.

Guaranteed vs 10% proc chance.
I know which I'll take in a PvP situation.
