WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Darkmoon Faire In Phase 3: How To Prepare For This Event?

Warriors of Azeroth, TBC pre-patch will officially begin on January 13th, and you'll still need to wait approximately one week. This pre-patch will bring numerous item changes, talent and skill adjustments, class mechanic changes, and alterations to item and mount mechanics, thus creating some exploitable glitches. These glitches won't disrupt balance, but they can allow you to acquire gear earlier or level up faster. These techniques don't have to wait until the pre-patch to take effect, so you can start preparing now in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary server. Gear Exploit This exploit primarily affects all non-bind-on-pickup items, as many item attributes will change. Some items that are worthless in WoW 20th Classic will become very useful in TBC. For example, Rugged Spaulders is a very useful piece of gear for Shamans, especially Alliance Shamans. It drops from the first boss in Shadowfang Keep. In WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, it was a common quality item, meaning you could trade it infinitely, and it wasn't bound to you. However, in The Burning Crusade, this shoulder pad will become blue quality. The trick is that you can now acquire a Rugged Spaulders item through the auction house or other ways, and then wrap it as a gift using Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper. The wrapped gift itself is not bound, and it's neither bind-on-equip nor bind-on-pickup, so you can trade it to anyone. Because the gift itself remains the same, but the items inside will have different stats after the expansion update. Normally, bound items cannot be wrapped, but since the current Rugged Spaulders don't have a bind-on-pickup attribute, they can be wrapped. When you enter TBC, this shoulder pad will become bind on pickup and its stats will be improved. Therefore, if you plan to level your character to 15 during the pre-patch, this shoulder pad will be the best leather armor for that level. You can use this method to obtain and mail the item to the corresponding character in advance. Regarding Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper, you can trade for either Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper or Blue Ribboned Wrapping Paper at any inn or general store for only 45 copper. This method applies to all non-Bind on Pickup items in the game. You can perform this operation on items that will become Bind on Pickup in TBC. This technique was proven effective during TBC Classic transition in 2021. You can test whether this method still works in TBC Anniversary live servers. Mount Exploit Mount exploits are related to the change in the way riding skills are learned. In TBC, you can directly learn riding skills and then obtain the corresponding faction's mount once you reach Exalted reputation. This is similar to WoW 20th Anniversary event. This system works differently. The key is that in The Burning Crusade, many mounts are bind-on-equip, similar to bind-on-equip items. If you want a Blood Elf character to ride a Tauren Kodo, the method is almost identical to exploiting an equipment loophole: you can acquire a Kodo now and wrap it with Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper. Then, you can mail this unbound package to your Blood Elf character. Blood Elf character will then open it and obtain and use Kodo. This method works for almost all race combinations of mounts, the only limitation being the race's own riding restrictions. For example, Forsaken cannot ride Kodos, and Tauren cannot ride Forsaken mounts. Therefore, you need to confirm whether the target race can ride that type of mount. This also applies if you simply want to have the appearance of a mount from a certain reputation faction in advance. The only requirement is that your character reaches the level to learn the corresponding riding skill. You will need approximately 1000 WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold to complete this. This method was also confirmed to work in 2021, so you still have time to prepare. World Buffs Exploit The last exploit is available to all players. First, you need to know that in TBC, world buffs will no longer be active after your character reaches level 63. However, you can use a trick. On the last day of Classic WoW, acquire the full set of world buffs, such as Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer and Spirit of Zandalar. Then, lock them in your inventory using a Chronoboon Displacer traded with Exalted reputation with Brood of Nozdormu. From the pre-patch until TBC, these buffs will remain in your character's status bar as long as you don't use other Chronoboon items that might overwrite them. Although they will expire after level 63, the visual effects may be retained. Before level 63, these buffs are fully active. This means you can enjoy the boost from these powerful buffs while leveling, especially while questing or running dungeons in Hellfire Peninsula, making your leveling journey easier and more efficient. There are many other changes in WoW TBC, including changes to equipment and mounts, as well as changes to profession skill training. If you plan to prepare in WoW 20th Anniversary server, it's best to keep a close eye on these changes to find more exploits. Even if you're well-prepared for WoW 20th Anniversary, your resources will be quickly depleted once TBC anniversary event officially begins. You can buy trusted WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold in iGMeet for a smoother leveling experience.

The pre-patch for WoW TBC anniversary will be released on January 13th. Unlike the original TBC, players can create Draenei and Blood Elf characters and level up before entering Outland in WoW 20th. These two new races belong to different factions, so their starting locations differ, which will affect leveling. Let's look at how Blood Elf Paladin players can choose their starting zone and level up quickly. Early Preparation Starting Zone Blood Elf starting area, Silvermoon, is not suitable for Paladins. You can let Mage or Warlock teleport you to an area with Paladin trainers, such as Orgrimmar. Avoid Thunder Bluff or Under City, as they lack Paladin trainers, severely impacting your skill learning and leveling efficiency. The differences in leveling between the zones are not significant. If you have prepared consumables for your Blood Elf account in advance, you can quickly go to the nearest mailbox, retrieve these supplies, and then use your Hearthstone to return to your starting zone, giving you a significant advantage in questing. Weapon Enchantment In WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, leveling up at lower levels still relies on killing monsters in the wild. Enchanting your weapon can boost your damage and improves leveling efficiency. Fiery: Deals 40 fire damage, essentially defeating monsters in one hit in the early game, with a high trigger rate. Crusader: Lower trigger rate, but when triggered, it heals you and grants 100 strength for 15 seconds, allowing you to easily defeat enemies during this time. It's recommended to use Fiery Weapon before level 30, switching to Crusader after level 30, as it performs better in the mid-to-late game. It's also highly recommended to prepare some Frog Leg Stews. Available from level 1, it restores a significant amount of health, making it ideal for farming and leveling in the wild. When killing monsters, try to kite the current target to your next planned kill. This allows you to immediately begin the next attack after the fight ends, avoiding wasting several seconds running away after a kill, thus significantly improving efficiency. Remember that try to stick to the same weapon type. This avoids the need to upgrade multiple weapon skills due to frequent weapon changes, which slows down your leveling. If you have limited WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold, prioritize trading for better weapons over armor. Weapons not only improve stats but, more importantly, directly increase your damage output, allowing you to level up faster. How to Choose Talents? A Blood Elf Paladin's first talent point can be invested in Holy, Protection, or Retribution. It's recommended to use Retribution talent tree for solo leveling until at least level 16. After level 16, Holy and Protection talents will begin to show their advantages in dungeon groups. Retribution talent tree is your primary solo leveling talent. If you plan to switch to dungeon leveling after level 16, you can also choose some Protection talents. However, note that at level 16, Paladins will learn Righteous Fury and Righteous Defense by default, so even with Retribution talent tree, as long as you have a one-handed weapon and shield, you are perfectly capable of tanking in low-level dungeons. Holy talent tree is not suitable for solo leveling in the open world unless you are leveling in a group or plan to level entirely through dungeons. Also note that Consecration is a default Paladin skill in the pre-patch and no longer requires Holy talent points. Paladins with Retribution and Protection can also use it while leveling. Leveling Path At level 11 or 12, it is recommended to go to Ghostlands. Before setting off, be sure to go to Silvermoon City to pick up Paladin-specific quest chain. You will eventually learn Redemption, a skill that is very useful in groups. From level 12 onwards, you can stay in Ghostlands questing until level 20. This area has concentrated quests, offers abundant experience, and most quest rewards are upgrades to uncommon quality equipment. The questline will also reward a rare weapon at the end, after which you can move on to the next area to level. The following is the recommended leveling route: Level 1-10: Eversong Woods, Durotar Level 10-20: The Barrens, Ghostlands, Eversong Woods Level 20-25: Stonetalon Mountains, The Barrens, Ashenvale, Hillsbrad Foothills Level 25-30: The Barrens, Hillsbrad Foothills, Ashenvale, Thousand Needles, Stonetalon Mountains Level 30-35: Stranglethorn Vale, Arathi Highlands, Thousand Needles, Desolace, Alterac Mountains Level 35-40: Swamp of Sorrows, Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Badlands, Stranglethorn Vale Level 40-45: Dustwallow Marsh, Badlands, Swamp of Sorrows, Stranglethorn Vale Level 45-50: Tanaris, Feralas, Searing Gorge, The Hinterlands Level 50-55: Western Plaguelands, Azshara, Felwood, Blasted Lands, Un'Goro Crater Level 55-60: Silithus, Western Plaguelands, Eastern Plaguelands, Winterspring, Burning Steppes Paladin Combat Techniques When fighting a single target, Consecration is relatively inefficient due to its high mana consumption. Its value increases significantly when facing three or more targets. Use Devotion Aura against a single target, and switch to Retribution Aura against two or more targets to increase damage. You can primarily use Blessing of Wisdom to maintain mana sustain. While Blessing of Might increases kill speed, its mana sustain advantage is more pronounced when dealing with multiple targets simultaneously using Consecration. When facing fleeing monsters, save Hammer of Justice to prevent it from attracting more monsters. Use it as soon as it's off cooldown to control monsters, reduce damage taken, and decrease healing frequency. Retribution: Paladins can combine Hammer of Justice with Seal of Command to deal extra damage to stunned targets. Before learning Seal of Command, use Seal of Righteousness against normal monsters, and use Seal of the Crusader against elites or high-health monsters to gain attack power bonuses. If you're short on mana, you can switch to Seal of Wisdom to replenish it. If you have other max-level characters, preparing some consumables for your Blood Elf Paladin in advance will be very efficient. If this is your only character, you can find some partners to team up with for even faster leveling. Reaching your Blood Elf to level 60 isn't the end. After the official launch of WoW TBC Anniversary, new mounts, new equipment, and more will continue to provide you with upgrades. You can buy cheap WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold at iGMeet to keep your character in the top tier and maintain an early advantage.

Greetings, although WoW Classic 20th Anniversary servers are nearing their end, and we are about to welcome the new Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary realm, this doesn't mean completely abandoning the old servers is a wise decision. After more than a year of playing, we have a deep understanding of the class characteristics on the Anniversary servers, which classes perform best, and which specializations are most likely to excel in TBC. Therefore, here we will analyze the class rankings in WoW 20th Anniversary. A wise choice will help you have better team support capabilities, an easier leveling/grinding experience, and higher demand in raids and dungeons after entering the TBC Anniversary pre-patch. 1. Warlock First is Warlock, which dominates in WoW 20th Anniversary and is highly likely to remain one of the strongest DPS classes on TBC Anniversary server. Why? This is because Destruction Warlocks can deal incredible single-target damage, especially during Heroism/Bloodlust buffs. Currently, Warlocks have two playstyles. One is the Shadow spec, focusing on Shadow Bolt; the other is the Fire spec, focusing on Incinerate. There's also Affliction Warlock, which, while not a top-tier DPS spec, provides important debuffs like Malediction, which increases the damage of Curse of the Elements. Most raid team compositions include three to five Warlocks, mainly with Destruction spec, plus one Affliction spec for applying debuffs. It's worth mentioning that Warlocks also have the opportunity to deal massive area-of-effect damage when clearing mobs with their AoE skill, Seed of Corruption. Therefore, whether dealing with raid bosses or killing mobs to farm WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold, they are an excellent choice. Warlocks have excellent scaling at every stage of the game, especially after acquiring new gear sets. Furthermore, they can gain unlimited mana through Life Tap, and the team-wide Bloodlust effect resets their skill cooldowns, greatly enhancing their burst potential. Therefore, the conclusion is that the Warlock is likely to be the first class to shine in the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition. 2. Hunter Next is Hunter, who were top-tier in the early game and remains so, even becoming stronger. Because pets inherit the Hunter's attack power and critical strike chance, their growth potential is excellent. Beast Mastery, which increases pet damage, health, and Focus regeneration speed, and also allows pets to taunt enemies, provides very high DPS in the early game. However, keeping your pet alive is crucial, as your DPS will drop significantly if your pet dies. With proper play, Beast Mastery spec has incredibly high output. While Hunters might see a slight dip in performance during Sunwell Plateau Raid, they remain competitive throughout Anniversary expansion. In raid setups, many guilds will bring four Hunters, including 3 Beast Mastery specs and 1 Survival spec to apply Expose Weakness, significantly increasing the entire raid's attack power. 3. Shaman Then there's Shaman, who also received a significant boost in WoW 20th Anniversary, bringing a lot of utility. And with the introduction of Draenei in TBC Anniversary, Shamans are now playable in TBC Anniversary. Furthermore, Bloodlust now affects the entire raid and resets after killing a boss or wiping, which is a huge boost for Shamans in raid setups. In raid configurations, Enhancement Shamans are almost essential for melee teams, increasing the team's attack power by 10%. Compared to Elemental Shamans, their DPS is weaker in early raids, but they start to shine and surpass the latter in the later stages of the game. As for Elemental Shamans, Totem of Wrath remains very powerful for caster and healing classes, and synergizes well with Haste and Crit. They have strong and consistent DPS in the early game, but their performance declines in the later stages compared to Enhancement Shamans, Warlocks, and Hunters. There are also Restoration Shamans, who, thanks to Earth Shield talent, are excellent tank healers. Also, Mana Tide Totem now restores 6% of mana per tick, instead of a fixed amount. Therefore, every raid still needs a Shaman. In the early stages of TBC, each raid group would have four to five Shamans, but in later stages, this could increase to as many as six, especially with the increase in melee DPS. 4. Mage Next is the Mage, who was very powerful in the early stages. Arcane Mages were a top-tier DPS class in the early game, with a damage rotation basically consisting of spamming Arcane Blast, and with the buffs of Arcane Power and Presence of Mind, they possessed immense burst damage. However, their DPS would significantly decrease in the later stages. As for Fire Mages, every Fire Mage now applies their own Ignite debuff to the target. And unlike in WoW Classic, you're not limited to only applying one debuff to the boss. Therefore, if you are a Mage and have the Ignite skill, you will gain a significant DPS boost. In short, in the early stages of WoW TBC Classic Anniversary, Mages could be very powerful, but once it reached the mid to late game, their strength decreased, making them more suitable for support roles. 5. Paladin Ranked fifth are Paladins, who shine with their new abilities and are available to both factions. Regarding specializations, Protection Paladin is the best AOE tank in Anniversary Edition. Their Avenger's Shield talent is not only excellent for pulling mobs, but also holds its own in single-target tanking, as it provides a shield that absorbs 60% of the damage dealt for 8 seconds. Retribution Paladins gain much-needed depth to their skill rotation with Crusader Strike ability. It's clear that this class is still more focused on support functions than DPS specialization. So they are definitely a viable option, just not a top-tier DPS choice. Holy Paladins offer the strongest single-target healing ability in the class, Divine Illumination, which reduces mana cost by 50% for 15 seconds. Therefore, although this spec is slightly lacking in raid healing, it is unmatched in tank healing. Overall, Paladins provide immense support and play a crucial role, especially for players who like strong self-healing and self-sufficiency. 6. Warrior Ranked sixth on the list is Warrior, whose performance has also undergone some significant changes since the expansion's release. In WoW 20th Anniversary, their burst damage was very high, especially in terms of critical hits, while in the TBC version, their damage became more stable. Now, their output is highly dependent on weapons; if you give them a set of Warglaives of Azzinoth, they can dominate the rankings. So, in the early game, their performance might be slightly inferior to Warlocks, Hunters, and Mages; but in the later stages, with the right weapons, they can become top-tier DPS. As for specializations, perhaps only Protection Warrior is worth trying, because Devastate skill makes stacking Sunder Armor easier, resulting in decent single-target output, but it's generally overshadowed by Protection Paladins and Feral Druids. Simply put, they are strong, but not essential. 7. Rogue Next is Rogue, whose strength has declined significantly compared to the beginning. Their Combat Rogue specialization mainly revolves around Improved Expose Armor, but this requires an Armor Penetration gear set to keep up, and these items are usually only available in the later stages of the game. As for Subtlety Rogues, they are the kings of PvP. With Shadowstep, they can deal massive burst damage, allowing them to teleport behind the target, gaining a 70% movement speed bonus and enhancing the next damage ability. However, although Rogue's strength improves in the later stages, the Warrior still takes priority in gear allocation because the Warrior's performance is slightly better than Combat Rogue. Therefore, in raids, teams usually only bring one Rogue, after all, their PvP control is very effective. 8. Priest Ranked eighth is Priest, who possesses powerful healing abilities and important team support capabilities. In terms of Holy Priest, they have one of the best team healing skills in the game, so most raid teams will bring at least one Priest. In terms of Discipline Priest, they have excellent support skills such as Pain Suppression and Power Infusion. Although their healing output is not as high as Holy Priest, their mana burn is also very useful, and their survivability is good with the right gear. Shadow Priest specialization can provide mana regeneration for Hunters, Mages, and Warlocks. Therefore, they are usually included in raid teams because their Misery talent increases the spell damage taken by the target by 5%, which is almost indispensable. However, Priests typically perform well in early raids like Karazhan, but their power declines significantly in the later stages of the game. 9. Druid Last on the list is Druid. All of its specializations gain Cyclone, one of the best PvP control abilities Druid has ever had in the game, and it excels in long battles and raid survival. Their Feral Druid specialization is primarily used for tanking. Thanks to the Mangle ability, they have excellent single-target threat generation; and Leader of the Pack provides a 5% critical strike chance for melee and ranged attacks. However, the overall DPS of Feral Druids is relatively weak. For Balance Druids, Moonkin Aura critical strike bonus is increased from 3% to 5%, and Improved Faerie Fire also adds a 3% hit chance for the entire team. However, their overall DPS is weak, and they face mana issues throughout the expansion. Summary So, in terms of overall performance in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, the biggest winners are clearly Warlocks, Hunters, Shamans, and Mages; while the worst performers are undoubtedly Rogues, Druids, and Discipline Priests in early raids, although they have good support abilities, they are not mainstream DPS. Now that you know this, have you decided which class you're going to play? Which specialization will you start with in the new TBC raids? See you next time!

With the upcoming WoW Classic 20th Anniversary update to The Burning Crusade pre-patch, stockpiling gold is more important than ever. Flying mounts, skill training fees, professions, and various preparations will quickly deplete your wealth. Entering TBC expansion with a sufficient gold reserve will make your gaming experience much easier. Below are some gold farming methods before the pre-patch. Most of these are well-suited for solo play, while a few are more efficient when cooperating with another player. 1. Azshara This area is home to Satyrs who drop Felcloth, which is your primary gold farming target. The value of Felcloth varies across servers, but should be around 5 gold. Felcloth is in high demand because it's used to craft Mooncloth, high-value bags, and important tailoring items, especially with TBC pre-patch approaching. Besides Felcloth, these Satyrs also drop Runecloth, merchant miscellaneous items, and occasionally uncommon items that can be sold or disenchanted. Most classes can easily solo this farm without special gear or professions. You can adjust the number of mobs you pull based on your class and comfort level. The mob spawn rate here is generally good, making farming this farm very low-risk. 2. Scarlet Monastery Graveyard, Tirisfal Glades This farm spot is especially excellent if your profession is Herbalism, as you can gather resources undisturbed. Inside the instance, you primarily gather Grave Moss, along with Kingsblood, Fadeleaf, and Goldthorn. This farm is suitable for all classes as long as your level is high enough. Normal monsters are around level 30-32, while elite monsters reach a maximum level of 34, making this a very safe area for high-level players. Besides herbs, this dungeon also drops several valuable items: Chain of the Scarlet Crusade pieces Freezing Shard Quillshooter Corpseshroud Feet of the Lynx 3. Wetlands In this area, your primary farming objective is Tiny Crimson Whelpling. Simply farming Whelpings monsters gives you a chance to obtain a Tiny Crimson Whelpling pet. These are among the rarest farmable pets in WoW 20th Classic. Due to their rarity and high demand, this pet can sell for a significant amount of gold on most servers. This farming spot is suitable for all classes, especially for leveling. Because the monsters are relatively low-level and easy to kill, you can farm at a relaxed pace without special equipment or preparation. Even if the pet doesn't drop, this farming spot is still worth trying. These monsters frequently drop Small Flame Sacs, which can be used for crafting and consumables. They are usually worth around 1 WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold. Additionally, you can loot merchant junk and uncommon items. If you've learned Skinning skill, you can also obtain leather, and these gains accumulate to a considerable amount over time. 4. Tanaris Coast This farm spot is primarily for players who have learned Skinning skill. Your target is Steeljaw Snapper, which is abundant along Tanaris coast. The main item you'll farm here is Turtle Scales, which can be used for leatherworking and can also be sold directly at the auction house. After learning Skinning, you can also obtain Thick Leather and Heavy Leather, both of which are valuable. This farm spot is suitable for all classes and is very easy to complete. Because Steeljaw Snapper are distributed along the coastline and spawn quickly, there is usually little competition, especially during off-peak hours. If you've learned Skinning and want a simple, stable gold farm this is a solid choice. 5. Un'Goro Crater This farm is also great for players who have learned Skinning. Your targets are Devilsaurs, Ironhide Devilsaurs, Tyrant Devilsaur, and King Mosh. To use Skinning on these monsters, your skill level needs to be at least 270. There's a small chance to get Devilsaur Leather from killing Devilsaurs, but you're guaranteed to get it every time you skin them. This is why this farm is extremely valuable for professional players; when competition is low, it's incredibly profitable. Devilsaur Leather is always in high demand because it's used to craft pre-raid and raid gear, especially favored by melee classes. You don't have to worry about selling it. However, since these Devils share a spawn point, this means that once one is killed, the next one will spawn approximately 14 to 16 minutes later, and it could be any of the three types. This farm spot is most effective if you can time the spawns and move efficiently between locations. If you're willing to invest the time, this is one of the best skinning farm spots in the game. 6. Winterspring, Darkwhisper Gorge At this farm, you'll be slaying Hederine Slayers. They are elite demon monsters, so they are very powerful and have high attack power. They drop Runecloth, merchant junk, and some equipment, but these aren't the main focus. They have a chance to drop The Eye of Shadow, a unique item used for important endgame quests and crafting, especially important for priests. Due to their extreme rarity, they are in high demand. Because these Hederine Slayers are quite dangerous, it is strongly recommended that at least two players team up for this farm. Bringing a friend will make the farm process much safer and more efficient. 7. Shadow Fang Keep, Silverpine Forest Shadow Fang Keep dungeon is suitable for all classes. You can choose to farm it solo or in a group with other classes. You'll encounter some level 20+ monsters here. If your level is high, this dungeon will be safer and more efficient. The main reason to farm here is that Shadow Fang Keep has a large amount of valuable BoE items. These BoE drops are always in demand, and if you're lucky, this farm can be extremely profitable. You should pay attention to the following items: Shadowfang Night Reaver Witching Stave Black Malice These items sell well, especially among players leveling alts. Since this is a dungeon farm, you can run it repeatedly, resetting after completion, completely avoiding competition in the open world. These farms can help you accumulate wealth before TBC pre-patch. If some farms are too competitive, you can combine multiple methods. Before you start farming, it's best to check the value of each item and choose the most efficient farming method.
