My husband LOVES quest helper. I tried quest helper, I used it for one level and deleted it. I just couldn’t deal with all the spam all over my map, lol. It is a good add-on, a lot of people I know use it. I’ve been using TomTom and Lightheaded, which I love. I could never quite comprehend all the colored symbols all over the map, but while I had it, it was very helpful!

Great review! I love this mod. Just a warning that once you start using it there's no going back. It was broken for the first couple days after patch 3.0.2 and I literally had to relearn how to do quests without it. It works great now though, and if you send in your data that it collects as you go every so often it will only get more accurate. WhoopinYes last blog post..How I keep travel time down

well, originally I had typed out a very detailed and grammatically correct response of things i think people should know, but my internet at work is aweful and it crashed and i lost everything… so now you can get the semi irritated and less grammaticaly correct version of what i originally wrote

1.) Vista users- Download the curse client and run it as Administrator. Most mods wont work unless you do this. Should save you the hassel of trying to figure this out yourself.

2.) If you PUG groups for instances while questing like i do and say you only have 3 of 5 so you keep on questing until its a full group, you will notice all of the group memebers quests show up on your map. If you dont realize what happened you will end up running all over and killing a bunch of mobs you dont need to and wasting a lot of time. Simply type /qh solo this will disable all group members quests and show yours only.

i hope this helps

@ Mae

It’s not so bad… They normally leave cute little Gnomes alone… well only if they have Pigtails or Princess Leia Buns. Male Gnomes are usually KoS.

@ shrinkage and Aurdon

I’m guessing he just leveled as fast as he can without actually learning what his abilities actually do. That or he didn’t have his PvP Trinket equiped and couldn’t get out of my Deep Freeze’s Stun effect. Gear has been a huge advantage for me throughout this whole leveling process, and I’m glad I kept raiding til the end. Also having the Human racial gives me freedom now to be in PvE gear at all times with a “PvP Trinket” ready.

@ Herc

Yea usually there is a cease fire on my server when new content is presented, and you will rarely see any ganking or PvPing in leveling zones. It usually lasts about two weeks over here.

Gratz on both achievements!

Nice some DK tried to gank me while mining heh I won .. barely though, I had to use a pot. Ganking between horde and allies are starting to get worse. It was almost non-existant while I was leveling a few days ago.

Bravo!

I’ve been working on getting my DK to Northrend so I don’t have any PvP stories from the Mage point of view. I will say that I’ve run across my fair share of DK’s trying to gank me while leveling. Usually they lose or its a draw. Shadow of Death FTW. I think most people tried to blast through outland instead of reading what their skills do.

Geared as well as you are…I lol’d just thinking of the frustration that was going through the “anti-magic” class player’s mind.

PvP servers are the only way to go in my book. Personally I believe they make you an all around better player. The level of difficulty between fighting an AI mob and a person is exponentially greater. You need to be quick to react to all kinds of different situations other players may put you in. As far as my DK goes im still learning how to PvP with him. That DK you fought “technincaly” should have beaten you. We have so many anti-caster spells its a little rediculous. Obviously that guy doesn’t know what hes doing when it comes to fighting other classes. But I will give you credit for legitimately beating him, a skilled mage is near impossible to kill. Luckily there aren’t too many skilled mages. Hope to see you on the battlefield sometime.

Congrats, on both fronts! The pet achievement is awesome and so is the pet you get as a reward, I love him!! As for killing the death knight, I never could have done it. I’m the worst at PvP! Even as a frost mage, I suck at having reflex enough to kill other players. Mobs, I can do, they can be anticipated. You are a brave soul leveling on a PvP server.
