One of the biggest mistakes most WoW players make is just jumping into the game and trying to kill everything in sight! Their friends tell them that they can make a boat load of wow gold by finding the best spots for grinding. If they run out of gold, just go buy some more from the Chinese farmers! Crazy, isn't it? Well the best thing to do is concentrate on the basic tips given here and that will lead you to really enjoying the game, World of Warcraft as it should be.

Tip 1 -First and foremost, Read the Quest Journal

This can simply be done by hitting the "L" key on your keyboard. This will open up your Quest Journal. This contains almost all the info you need to figure out whatever quest your given. Check it from the start of your quest and check it often throughout the game as your quest levels up. The journal also gives you precise directions needed to get you where you need to go. Read Your Quest Journal!

Tip 2 -Use The City Guards, They are your friends.

Instead of clogging up the general chat channels asking people for directions in hub cities, just simply ask a city guard! They will give you directions to almost everything within the

city and even give you a flag in your mini-map.

Tip 3 -Remember that every trade skill in WoW has a complement.

As most World of Warcraft players know, you can only learn two professional trade skills. Remember that fishing, cooking, first aid and a few others do not count! Also, be aware that except for enchanting and tailoring, every skill has a gathering and crafting skill. Such as with blacksmithing, it requires raw materials that can only be had by mining. So be sure to pick the appropriate skill from the start. Otherwise, you will end up buying materials at auction or trying to trade for finished goods. Not a good place to be.

Tip 4 -Auto Run. The Number Lock Key turns it on.

You would really be surprised as to how many World of Warcraft players forget to use their auto run. This is your best friend! During long runs, you can check your quest long or futzing with your inventory to see where you stand and even chat with friends.

Tip 5 -Make Sure you control your Pets.

This only applies to the pet classes, Warlocks and Hunters. The mistake that most WoW gamers make is leaving their pets on the aggressive mode. Remember that your pets are tools and are to be used for specific purposes. Leaving them in the aggressive mode lets them attack without discretion and draws a lot of monster attention to your group. Unfortunately, doing this can mean death for the group and a long boring corpse run.

PS. Remember that using WoW cheats and hacks can get you banned! It is best to learn the game the way it was truly made to be enjoyed. Once you get the hang of it, you can really start wow leveling and making wow gold faster than ever before.
