3.1 (Wargame) Arenas!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of F2P is being able to enjoy arenas for free. Check out the following threads to get started.
⇛ Billow's Intro to Arena Guide by kablam
⇛ AP Arena++ by youakim

Videos:
⇛ Swagcleavic
⇛ Salfir
⇛ Nevmind

While most arena enthusiasts still have characters on Aerie Peak, the current project is:
⇛ Korgath US Arena Server


3.2 Videos and Impressions

Still unsure about F2P activities or joining a community? Get a great first impression by watching some of the awesome videos listed here:
⇛ F2P Movies Thread by Hiidden
To get a taste I especially recommend:
⇛ AP Horde V AP Alliance Stream by Swag (includes video of the game)
⇛ Horde AP had some fun premades this weekend (a F2P video) by Purse
⇛ Video Upload of the Battle for Southshore! by Footman
(Two amazing videos of Rhaellia's incredibly fun event: The Battle for Southshore: Cross Realm WPvP Event)

Take a look at awesome screenshots to sample the F2P community life!
⇛ Screenshot Thread! by Shfthappens

Two more threads to get to know the TI community.

(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.

While following any guides I advise that you keep in mind the possibility of patch changes, author's mistakes, etc. and think all advice and gear choices through yourself.
Some of these are outdated due to MoP.

Warrior	⇛ Oldspike's F2P Warrior Guide by sevenslacks7 ⇛ Keyser's Warrior Guide
Paladin	⇛ Earl's F2P Paladin Guide ⇛ Brokendemon's Paladin Guide ⇛ Eliot's Protection Paladin Guide ⇛ Battlepøpe's Holy Paladin Guide
Hunter	⇛ MoP F2P Hunter Guide ⇛ Pinochet's Hunter Guide
Rogue	⇛ Pugging the Gulch with the F2P Rogue by iminibiv ⇛ SekcMustard's Rogue Guide ⇛ DubbsBegins' Rogue Sapping Tips
Priest	⇛ Veinte's Priest Guide
Shaman	⇛ Pinochet's Resto Shaman Guide ⇛ Holypowah's F2P Shaman Guide ⇛ Dasha's F2P Resto Shaman Guide
Mage	⇛ Arcane Mage Guide by lolipopp ⇛ Deadvulcano's Mage Guide
Warlock	⇛ Salfir's Warlock Guide
Druid	⇛ MrCer's Druid Guide ⇛ Arberian021's Feral F2P Druid Guide MoP by Arberian021

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

5.5 Best-in-Slot Armoury References

The original F2P 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) stickied thread 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!

Not updating BiS references at the moment due to MoP changes, inactive players, etc.

While following any guides I advise that you keep in mind the possibility of patch changes, author's mistakes, etc. and think all advice and gear choices through yourself.

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 or other rare item 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. You can research these in Pinochet's Comprehensive Profession Guide​

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 onSearch 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
Find more on the Darkmoon Faire under: 4.5 The Darkmoon Faire

is there a leg enchant for strength users (ret pala/warri) which wont bind the legs (like the shadowleather enchant for agi classes) so i can use it on foremans? ty

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

found one, Angerhide Leg Armor - Game Guide - World of Warcraft

Good to know, thanks. Once I get back on wow I plan on trying to get me a pair of goblin mail legs ^_^

 

[Yapah]

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

Goblin Mail Leggings (13 str 9 stam) with Angerhide Leg armor (5 str 3 crit) is max AP but I wouldn't recommend it

Heirloom Legs now give crit rather than haste so the stats are 9 str 13 stam 12 crit and with 400 LW you can put 6 str 4 crit leg enchant on them

Goblin Legs vs Heirloom is 3 strength vs 4 stam 13 crit

Just to make sure:

If I understand it correctly, F2P/Vet below 20 can now lock XP, can participate in wargames, but can not queue for BGs?

Will edit that.

Thanks a lot!

Because this thread rocks and because [MENTION=10336]Yde[/MENTION] isn't busy enough (joking), here's what I see:

- First, awesome undertaking, updated links, so useful. It's gold.

- It's most useful for new players, but it's a wall. I'd like to reformat or see this reformatted with color, larger text for headlines, and pics / vid links which show the thumbnail, so it's more inviting (I hear attention spans are shrinking? If so, presentation is key) - If I do reformat, I won't change content cuz I'm out-of-date. It's intimidating to look at and consider reformatting

- The link for the translated f2p addon could be visible in the first post so whoever among the Spanish-speaking community makes it here sees that.

- Gnomeball is awesome, but it's outdated. I assume you gave that the vid link as opposed to the others because it sticks out and gives a good impression, so I actually don't know if I prefer that one way or the other.

- I think the BiS armory references could be dropped completely. Lots of updating, not much benefit I see over inspecting in-game or using the guides.

- I can't see the images in "How to use the site search" - could just be me.

I'm not being as meticulous as usual, so I might've missed some things. For instance, in the "Thanks" section you say "Good luck with F2P" but this has been changed to lvl20 resources, nitpicky things like that could really burnish this gold imo
