Level 20 Resources (F2P)

re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

Can't believe I hadn't linked you yet! -_- Need to go over the list this weekend, off to uni now, will put you in this afternoon!

Also that sucks about the hitrating. :/ Hope you get DWB soon!
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

Backup post, just in case TI eats my OP during editing again.

Welcome!

F2P has been around for a while now, and over time a lot of people have compiled some tremendously useful information about F2P twinking. Feel free to have a look at this post, in which I've tried to index this information in an easily readable way. :)

I hope you have fun and will find what you are looking for here!


Good luck!

1# Getting started with F2P

There are some great introductions that are a good place to start if you're new to F2P and unsure what it entails. :)

Start out by reading the first posts of these two threads:
Free to Play: 20 Twinking and You by Opinion
Free to Play FAQ and Information by iaccidentallytwink

If you want to be able to communicate with other F2P twinks on your server, read about Yasueh's awesome addon:
Yasueh's Macros and Addons for F2P

Unsure about Free-to-Play community? Get a taste by watching some videos!

2# How to use the Twinkinfo Site Search

In the upper right corner of this site you will find a search box that you can use to search the entire forum for your keyword(s):​


You can narrow it down to the F2P section by clicking on Search Forum while you're on the main F2P Twinking forum page:​

You can use the Advanced Search to narrow it down further, but usually this won't be necessary. Let's say you want to farm materials for profession levelling during Darkmoon Faire, and are looking for a guide. Type Darkmoon Faire Farming, hit enter or click Search, and in a very short time you will have a small number of matching threads!​

In this example both the Darkmoon Faire Mat Farming list and Rhaellia's awesome Darkmoon Faire Guide are worth checking out. <3



3# Class Guides (Write more guides, people!)

Most (but not all) of our Guides are hosted in the F2P Twink Guides section; I'll link the class guides here for easier access:

WarriorKeyser's Warrior Guide
PaladinBrokendemon's Paladin Guide
Eliot's Protection Paladin Guide / jenks33's Protection Paladin gear sets
Battlepøpe's Holy Paladin Guide
HunterPinochet's Hunter Guide / some pre-BoA Horde gear
Pinochet has also offered: "I believe BM to be the stronger hunter spec, at least for BGs. I only switch to marks/surv for short periods to **** around. I'm perfectly fine with being messaged by random people who want advice on the spec."
RogueSekcMustard's Rogue Guide
Priest
ShamanPinochet's Resto Shaman Guide
MageDeadvulcano's Mage Guide
Warlock
DruidMrCer's Druid Guide

19 Twink Guides are also a good reference for classes, gear and PvP advice.

5# Best-in-Slot Armoury References

The original F2P level 20 Armory Library by leotseddap lists and links players with TI-accounts and is a great reference.

Imirak
's original F2P Rankings: PVE & PVP has been continued in the most awesome way by lofi: F2P Rankings: Achievements, HKs, and more! is a fully colour-coded list of the top-ranked 100 world F2P twinks with links and up-to-date relevant statistics, also links downloadable spreadsheets with even more players, and is just indescribably fantastic!

For a shorter overview I've tried to collect a few examples of very well geared, active players for each class.

Keep in mind that for BiS the occasional LFH, MM, RoP, Mindthrust Bracers, Drakewing Bands etc. might be missing. People might also log out in RP gear, during spec experiments, etc. Some classes can also switch between specs quite frequently, so please forgive any mistakes I made while attempting to order these. ^^ Not everyone uses Medium Armor Kits and enchants like Enchant Cloak - Minor Resistance, you can research these in Pinochet's Comprehensive Profession Guide.

Feel free to suggest more references!​

*Spirit geared​




Good luck!


A huge thank you and hug to Shft! Also thanks to everyone else who helped collecting! Hugs to Omgwtfsap, Klinda, Pino, Veinte, Mialo, Thor, Broken and Purse.

Most of all a salute to the excellent people who wrote the content I tried to index here!

Nice cache ... I mean nice signature you got there
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

I'm one of the only Arms warriors I've seen around, just 2 arena masters and 1200 honor away from crit-stacking BiS if you want to throw my armory under the references. Armory is in my signature, just click the image.

Please reroll Fury or Prot. Arms is so much garbage -_-
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

Lol. In your opinion. If you're good at the class and play Arms for a while Fury just starts to feel weak and clunky. But that's my opinion.

I have 20.20% Crit (self buffed) and an affinity for getting in healers/flag carriers personal space and it usually makes for good mojo on the field. But feel free to keep playing the way that everyone else plays forever, and I'll keep playing the way I enjoy playing forever. Because we'd really hate to break the mold and discover different/better/unique alternatives to playing classes.

I'll give you several good reasons why Arms is bad:

Fear
Wing Clip
Conscussive Shot
Scatter
Pet abilities
Disengage
Cone of Cold
Frostbolt
Crippling Poison
Gouge
Frost Nova
Pet Nova
Chastise
Piercing Howl
Hammer of Justice
Entangling Roots
Improved Catform
Travelform
Infected Wounds
Earthbind Totem
Ghostwolf
Engineering bombs

I think thats plenty of reasons why you really want that slow.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

I'll just go ahead and say you're" right" since you're so desperate to prove a point simply based on the fact that you don't agree with someone on the subject in question.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Good day to you, Sir.

I'm right because I can base my statements on my own observations and experience, during almost a full year of F2P and 15 days played on a Warrior. . I'll Crippling Thrown kite you next time I meet you.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

I said you were right ;). And you do that.

I just want everyone to note that just because Mialo is bad at Arms Warrior doesn't mean the specialization is unplayable. Also, that just because he's played the class for an extensive amount of time doesn't mean that everything he says about the class is a fact.

This has been a public service announcement. That is all.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

Just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean he's bad at it, and he's not saying the spec is unplayable. What he IS saying is that the lack of a slow makes it a worse spec than the others.

#public service announcement
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

He said he's speaking from experience so one could only assume that he played arms and he wasn't good at it.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

SILENCE !!! This Thread is a F2P Sanctuary.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

When did you decide for everyone that not liking a certain spec makes you inherently bad at it?
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

I never said that. Helps to read when blindly defending someone.

On a more important note, however; I have the original post saved in notepad. If anyone needs this information just PM me because some of it is very useful and somewhat crucial to the F2P community.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

So by your definition, if I have tried all three spec on my priest with 16 days played, decided that disc is better than holy, that makes me bad at playing holy?

Yes. Your name isn't Veintebad for nothing, amirite? <3.

And I'm certainly terribad @ Warrior.
 
re: Level Twenty Twinking - FAQ, Info and Guides Index

I said arms. What's with you people and not reading? Lmao.
You said, and I quote:
just because Mialo is bad at Arms Warrior
You're assuming this because he feels the spec is inferior through experience, when you have never met him ingame to see how he plays. I cant think of a single reason why your reasoning would be solely restricted to warriors, so that makes me "bad" at holy priest?
