The Cataclysm Handy Hints Thread

Don't buy your 7th GB slot with someone who isn't the Guild Master.

Pain in the arse.

If you happen to have the somewhat unusual combination of Enchanting and Alchemy, crushing the epic Alchemy Trinket is a cost effective way to make Maelstrom Crystals and could net you a decent profit for the next week or so.

I'm sort of annoyed that I need to crush epics to buy and create the only good caster weapon enchant in Cata. :(

Hurricane isn't terrible if you're poor; haste is generally a useful stat for most casters.

It's the only other option, and I'm using it. But the difference is huge. Haste may be useful for some casters, but it's usually at the bottom of the list. I'm seeing mostly Int > Hit > Crit (>= depending on class) Haste or Mastery.

Mostly annoyed in the sense that in the past, the "best" enchant may be pricey and hard to come by, but was usually only a few percent off from the easy to come by version. In this case it's what, a 450 haste proc versus a 500 int proc? That's not a close choice for any caster.

I'm mostly whining because while abyss crystals were in plentiful supply in Wrath, all the maelstrom enchants are absurdly good compared to the non maelstrom enchants, and there's no repeatable way to get them besides raiding. At least in Wrath the last boss in a heroic dropped epics for crystal creation.

Bridge jousting! If you can't get into TB but still want the honor, stand on the bridge between TBP and TB itself and run in and out when your team gets close to winning. This works better if you have someone on the inside on vent or guild chat, who can tell you when the node is about to flip. If you time it right, you'll get all the honor at the end of the battle, including the 1800 honor if your side won on offense (gg win trading).

This was possible in WG (by flying above the zone) before but limited by the fact that your rewards were dependent on rank, which was difficult if not impossible to get without actually being in the zone. Now, however, there's no such limitation.

Guilds are dinging level 10 today, which means heirloom cloaks,

Any Enchanter who can do Enchant Cloak - Stealth might want to consider getting some scrolls up on the AH. There was only one on my AH and all the small prismatics and Fel Lotus were going for less than one gold each, so I bought out all the Fel Lotus, bought some planars (11-14g a go) and stuck up a load of scrolls at 275g. Will see how well they sell I guess.

Why Stealth ?

Easiest way to abuse the twink market: sell rogue stuff.

Why Stealth ?

It's +8 Agility and +8 Dodge Rating, which is the best enchant for any non-caster by a long way.

My level 11 rogue has 35% Dodge thanks to that

Probably a good call. I bought one for my rogue/druid/hunter twink(s).
