Haven't really twinked since OG Vanilla/BC

[Gangstuh]

Loved twinking in Vanilla/BC (When I was like in Middle School), and I'm looking to get back into it to keep the BC nostalgia flowing. One thing that I noticed, that differed from back in the day, is BiS 19 twink gear. I could've sworn back then I was BiS with Twisted Chanter's Staff with +25 agility and the green cloth shoulders talbar mantle, etc... but I've seen some twinks with white shoulders, Naxx enchants, and 25 agi on a green, 8 Agility 2h Axe...

Is there a comprehensive 19 twink gearing guide on here or on some community discord? I couldn't find one on here, but I may not be looking hard enough / maybe I'm dumb.

Lemme know.

Also, I think I remember when this website used to be twinkinfo . com and, I know it's unlikely that y'all will remember my twinks from way back in the day, but they were 19 Gnome Rogue Tyromebiggums and 19 Nelf Hunter Ballin.

Welcome back!! : )

Here are a couple gearing guides:

https://xpoff.com/threads/tbc-gearing-guide-bis-chart.96000/

I think James B's guide is generally better, but there are some of the new TBC items that must be considered in the 2nd thread as well : )


Twisted Chanter's Staff is still arguably better for many situations! Some people use the green weapon since they really want more AGI, but that's preference : )

The Naxx shoulder enchants worked back in the day, but they were so difficult to obtain, and almost no knew they could be obtained on twinks that for the most part only Naxx raiders had them : ) You can still obtain them, though they are rare and expensive! Obtaining the Naxx shoulder enchants on Serpent's Shoulders is however considerably harder, unless you are super hardcore or can throw a lot of $$ I would put them out of mind!

In late TBC a number of items were upgraded to Rare including Serpent's Shoulders which were a huge upgrade over the Talbar Mantle people used prior to that!

If you want to be fully try-hard BiS then naxx enchants is part of the game, but every twink does not have it.
Should be even fewer twinks with it in TBC
