WoW Battle Ground Warsong Gulch

Warsong Gulch


You can start coming here at level 10.

The supply officer is Illiyana Moonblaze.

At level 10 you can get the Silverwing Battle Tabard.  However, I can see nothing that the tabard helps you with.

Start at level 18 you can start buying trinkets, weapons, caps, necklaces  and rings.  This set of items repeats at levels 28, 38, and 48.

At level 20 you can get the rune.

At level 21 you can pickup the Report from the Northern Front quest.

At levels 25, 35 and 45 you can buy rations and bandages.  These can only be used in the battle ground.

At levels 25, 35 and 45 you can the the Sentinel Care Package quest.

At leve 35 and 45 you can buy healing and mana droughts.

The WOW Wiki site has some good stuff on strategy.

New Analysis Software

My buddy Mark showed this to me.  He doesn't even play WOW, but he still finds the cool toys.





This stuff looks awesome. I can upload my character and do some pretty sophisticated analysis, such as comparing two pieces of armor.  However, for just straight looking for a new piece of armor, I still prefer WOW Heros.

Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole

Got the Kalu'ak Fishing Pole today because I became Exalted with Kalu'ak.

This little puppy does 186+ damage per second(DPS).

Analysis

Maleee

Damage: 675-837 -> 730-961
Speed: 3.28 -> 2.81
Power: 1392 -> 1258
Hit Rating: 91 -> 91
Crit Change: 10.38% -> 13.18%
Expertise: 0 -> 0

Ranged

Damage: 582-725 -> 552-695
Speed: 2.09 -> 2.09
Power: 1478 -> 1344
Hit Rating: 91 -> 91
Crit Change: 15.74% -> 15.74%

Thoughts

The only real problem here seems to be the drop in attach power. My current weapon the Shark Fin Blade has a +134 attack power. This is what is dropping my ranged weapon DPS. The slower speed may be contributing to the greater critical strike chance.

What do do about the drop in attack power?

The WOW Insider has a nice article about on Rookie Weapon Mastery.

It looks like there are two things that I can do a weapon. One is a permanent enchant, but yout cannot do that with a fish pole :-( The second is temporary. Can I do this with a fishing pole?
