WoW Speed Leveling Tip - Make A Mule

Your biggest time saver is a mule character. (This is just a level 1 character that you put inside the main city that has both an Auction House and a Mailbox). Simply put, a mule runs back and forth between the Auction House and your mailbox. This character acts as a middle man between your main character and every selling option. This gives you an unlimited amount of item slots.

When you are out questing or grinding and your backpack fills up, you will mail everything to your mule. (Except for items you would usually vendor, just vendor those.)

You can leave everything in the mailbox (this is what I do). This way when you need something like extra cloth for bandages, you simply log onto your mule character, open the mail and hit “Return” it send it back to your main character INSTANTLY! Don't worry about forgetting about items in the mailbox, if the timer runs out, it will automatically send it back to your main character.

Use your mule to buy and sell everything on the Auction House and to refill your main with any goods he might need. Try using Ctmod's Mail Mod to make this quicker. Get more exclusive insider WoW speed leveling tips from the Warcraft Pros

Best Hunter Talents Build for WOTLK

Out of all the classes in World of Warcraft the Hunter is a top choice of many players for its value in WOTLK. With the right WOTLK Hunter talent build you can get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. The learning curve may seem rather steep but the effort will pay off in the long run. This is because the Hunter is a tremendous DPS provider and an excellent gold farmer. Both are essential to being a well balanced class for maximum potential.

Many of the elite players have mastered and put together their own WOTLK Hunter talent build and most versions work well, however it is important to start with a great base build so you can tweak it to your tastes and skill level. For mid range players that haven't completely leveled yet it is a good idea to put your Hunter talent points in Beast Mastery.

If you are looking for better survivability and a very basic WOTLK Hunter talent build then go with a 57/14/0 set up. This works great for conducting instances as well as farming. Using this build requires Catlike Reflexes, Thick Hide, and Endurance Training. All of which are geared towards your character's survivability on the battlefield.

If you are looking for the absolute best WOTLK Hunter talent build then you may be looking for a long time just one definitive answer. This is because there is no set standard for what will work for everyone. Just stick to basic foundation build and tweak from there by finding out what works best for you. You can actually learn a lot for yourself just by playing with the numbers.

Tweaking your build to best fit you will prove very beneficial and before long you will be able to out-DPS just about anyone in your party. This does all depend on your exact goal and the plan you have for you character. Do not be afraid of messing around a bit with those numbers for different instances and quests and you may find that you might use something completely different when going solo.

Ingvar the Plunderer

Ingvar has two different phases. The first phase will pit you up against the following attacks:

  • Staggering Roar – Hits you with 2800 damage to all enemies within 60 yards, interrupting all casts for 6 seconds.
  • Smash – Deals 22,500 phsyical damage to all dnemies within 10 yards cone of the caster with a 3 second casting time.
  • Enrage – Buff for Ingvar that boosts his attack speed by 5% and his size by 5% per cast with stackability to 50.
  • Cleave – 150% of normal melee damage to any enemy and nearest ally.
  • After you kill Ingvar the first time, he will be resurrected by Annhylde the Caller and have the following abilities:
  • Dreadful Roar – Deals up to 3900 Shadow Damage to all enemies within 60 yards and interrupts all casts for 8 seconds. It also increases shadow damage taken by enemies by 5% with stackability to 40.
  • Woe Strike – Deals 200% normal melee damage and the debuff Woe Strike which will cause the healer of any party member with this debuff 1600 Shadow Damage.
Dark Smash – Deals up to 22,500 Shadow Damage to all enemies within 10 yard AoE cone with additional 2200 Shadow Damage to all enemies and a knockdown.

When you first see Ingvar, he will be talking to two other Vyrkul, but once you aggro him, the two fly away and never return, so you can ignore them. You want to tank him at the end of the platform if possible with all casters standing as far away from him as possible. The most devastating abilities he has have long casting times so you can get away from him, but you need to beware o Enrage in Phase 1 due to the stacking ability of the spell.

The key here is to maintain range, get away when he prepares to cast his biggest attacks and never pull aggro due to the potential for Cleave or Smash. Watch the casting bar closely and make sure to have a curse remover in the party for this fight as well.

The Prince Keleseth Encounter - Utgarde Keep


Prince Keleseth is the first encounter in Utgarde Keep and will have a Shadowbolt ability that hurls a bolt of dark magic at a single enemy inflicting large amounts of Shadow Damage. Additionally, he has a Frost Tomb ability that locks enemies within a block of ice with 400 Frost Damage every second for 20 seconds.

Additionally, there will be 4 Vykrul Skeleton adds in the fight which each have a Decrepify ability that reduces your strength by 100 and slows your movement by 30%.

The best strategy against Keleseth is to pull all four of the Vykrul first and kill them – they are no more special than the other Vykrul located in the instance and should be a relatively easy kill for your group. When the prince engages, put the tank on him and start the DPS process.

He will cast Frost Tomb occasionally on party members including the tank which will freeze them for 20 seconds and deal 8000 damage over time. Use Ice Block or Divine Shield to remove it. Four more Vykrul Skeletons will add mid-way through the fight. Just kill them quickly to avoid their ability. Keep them together to kill as Keleseth will resurrect them repeatedly.

WOTLK Tip- Understanding the Spell Power Stat


Along with the 3.0.2 WOTLK patch was that Blizzard combined Spell Damage and Healing all into single stat called Spell Power. This was done because it will allow Blizzard to maintain loot tables because it reduces the amount of items that are needed.

This also means that casters that are "specced" for damage are able to boost healing more and dedicated healer can inflict more damage when they are not casting a heal. This makes all casters more versatile during a battle.

Stats for haste rating, hit rating, and critical rating are tied to melee and spells. This reduces the number of the stat modifiers which is for easing things more than anything. The overall effect is the amount of gear on an epic instance boss's loot table is cut down substantially. This cuts out the super specialized gear that no one ends up wanting.

It does however create a bit more competition between dps and healing casters as they will regularly be rolling for the same items.
