WoW Tips and Tricks
* Pressing Shift + B opens up all of your packs.
Makes selling easier. You can also shift-click any
bag in the toolbar to open/close them all. Or, Bind
your bag opening key to ;Open all
bags; instead.
* Holding down Alt causes you to select yourself as
the target for spells, buffs, etc. F1 does this as
well. F2-F5 selects your fellow party members. If
they have a pet, hitting their F key twice will
select the pet.
* Be sure to log out inside of an Inn or major town
to build up your rest bonus. This bonus is
determined by how long you are in the rest area (captial
cities count in their enterity) and caps at
approximately 1.5 levels worth of xp doubling which
takes about 2 weeks in a rest area to hit.
This time accrues whether you are logged in or not
so ALWAYS log in an inn or capital city.
* Shift + Right click to auto loot kills, crafting
nodes, chests, and any world object that can be
manipulated.
* Shift + Left Click either posts an item into the
chat window as a link if you have chat open, or it
splits a stack of items. This can also be used to
select how many of a non-stacked item you want to
buy from a vendor.
*Clicking on a name in the chat window sends that
person a tell.
*Shift + Clicking on a name in chat performs a /who
* With a teammate targetted, typing /assist will
fight what they target. In the default
configuration, ;F; will select their
target. If you;re running a pet, F1-F1-F will
select whatever your pet is aggro;d on.
* Not so much at trick, but faction discounts apply
to the flyers and trainers as well, so don;t
be so quick to throw away newbie quests that you
forget to complete - they help out in the long run.
Be aware that the reputation received from a quest
drops off sharply when it goes grey, unless the
quest is a high-profile one for that faction (i.e.
Defias for Stormwind). Also, many quests give
reputation bonuses in more than one faction; you see
this a lot with Ironforge/Gnomeregan Exiles.
Finally, if you hover over a quest-giving NPC, the
game now tells you in the tooltiip which faction
they;re aligned with.
* The command /random # # makes dice rolls between
the two numbers specified (ex: /random 1 100 will
roll randomly (1-100)). It;s useful for
quests and such, as I always use it to roll for
chests or veins of ore, etc.
* Go Swimming There are often chests at the bottom
of lakes aswell as mineral nodes that won;t
show up on radar until you are submerged. (the lake
outside Loch Modan (sp) is Amazing for tier 1 and
has 5 chest spawns that I have found so far)
* Increase the range of your ;Target
nearest; key. Go into your WTF folder and
edit the Config.wtf file. Add the following line at
the bottom:
SET TargetNearestDistance ;40.000000
* The Auction House will respond to you much quicker
if you narrow your search range. If nothing else,
use the level range boxes, and search by
armor/weapon category. Also, using the text-string
search box is the fastest way I;ve found to
find consumables.
* of the : These are paired stat bonuses based on
the animal type, and they will always have the same
two stats paired. If you;re looking for stat
buffing armor, and you know what stats you want,
search Auction House for the following animals:
Bear: Strength, Stamina
Boar: Strength, Spirit
Eagle: Intellect, Stamina
Falcon: Intellect, Agility
Gorilla: Strength, Intellect
Monkey: Agility, Stamina
Owl: Intellect, Spirit
Tiger: Strength, Agility
Whale: Spirit, Stamina
Wolf: Agility, Spirit
* To make fast cash when you;re really bored,
farm -5/-6 humanoid creatures. They drop
Linen/Wool/Silk, all of which sell very well in AH
if you put low buyouts. They also drop more
copper/silver than comparable beasts, demons,
dragonkin, or elementals.
* Cooked food stacks to higher amounts than raw
food. By training cooking, you can double a single
slot;s worth of storage, and get more
benefit.
*While on autorun, hold down the right mouse button
to steer. Easier to make small course corrections
this way.
*To learn more about your guild (How many actual
players there are, for instance) Type /ginfo
* Don;t want to use a mod to speed up that
quest text? Use these scripts instead
Speedy Quest
/script QUEST_DESCRIPTION_GRADIENT_CPS = 600000
/script
RegisterForSave("QUEST_DESCRIPTION_GRADIENT_CPS")
/script
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Quest;s are
now SUPER SPEEDY!");
Regular Quest
/script QUEST_DESCRIPTION_GRADIENT_CPS = 40
/script
RegisterForSave("QUEST_DESCRIPTION_GRADIENT_CPS")
/script
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Quest;s are
now regular speed!");
* Alt-Z will hide your UI and makes for better
screenshots.
* V will bring up health bars under the names of
everything you can see, and switch it off again.
* Hunters, If you and your pet get in over your head
and you want to keep the pet alive, set the pet to
;stay; and run away. If you can get
out of range before the pet dies, the pet will
unsummon itself. You can then instantly call it back
to you once you have reached safety. It;s a
lot quicker and less mana and food intensive than
having to rezz and feed the pet.
* In the key bindings there;s a thing called
camera flip. By default it;s not bound to
anything. It flips the camera view so you;re
looking at yourself from the front instead of the
back. May be useful when running away and want to
see if mobs are still chasing you.
* Mail is the great extra bank account. Create a
level 1 alt. Mail it all your stuff you want to
save. It can sit on that guy for 29 days. Then have
it use the return option to send them back to your
main for another 29 days.
* You can fish while waiting on a boat. Do not stand
too close to the edge though, because the boat will
knock you off the dock and into the water.
* Ask guards in town for directions. Now press m and
you will see a red flag marking where you need to
go.
* For high levels that want to level up skills. Head
to Scarlet Monastery and attack the Scarlet
Chaplans. They HoT themselves and heal for a decent
amount. so long as you dont out damage you can
basically attack them indefintely.
* Also for leveling up wands attack a caster. You
resist 99% of there spells and so can easily skill
up that way.
* To see what class/lvl/guild someone is on the chat
hold shift and left click their name it basicly does
a /who on them ..
