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

Salve,

The links from the OP doesn't work anymore because of the new layout changes. In the spoiler you will find an update/backup with new working links.

Part I



Welcome!



Free-to-Play (F2P) WoW 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 (and the next), 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 and threads that are a good place to start if you're new to F2P, unsure what it entails, and want to learn more about what is and isn't possible with free WoW. :)


1.1 Introduction to F2P

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

1.2 How F2P Communities Work : The F2P Addon

If you want to be able to communicate with other F2P twinks on your server (and so much more), read the following post to learn about the features of the awesome F2PAddon:

Yasueh's Macros and Addons for F2P by Yasueh

1.3 F2P Communities

It's possible for any player to join any community they like. Increased latency / lag is of course possible. Aerie Peak US has the largest F2P communities on both factions and there are players from both the US and EU. With a New York datacenter most people do not experience any connection issues.

If you want to play on servers not in your region, you have two options. You could install a separate client for the region you want to access, or change your realmlist. If you want to know more about what this means or are interested in changing your realmlist, read the following:

Both US and EU Realms have thriving F2P communities. If you are interested in the activities possible, have a look at: 1.4 Videos

If you want me to add a community here, PM me with information about size, activites, etc. Making a recruitment thread is also helpful. :)

1.4 Videos

Still unsure about F2P activities or joining a community? Get a great first impression by watching some of the awesome videos listed in the ⇛http://www.twinkinfo.com/f43/f2p-movies-thread-23193/ by Hiidden! To get a taste I especially recommend:

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:



search15.png


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 http://www.twinkinfo.com/f43/darkmoon-faire-mat-farming-list-32460/ and Rhaellia's awesome http://www.twinkinfo.com/f43/darkmoon-faire-guide-28780/ are worth checking out. <3
Find more on the Darkmoon Faire under: 4.5 The Darkmoon Faire



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
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 dick around. I'm perfectly fine with being messaged by random people who want advice on the spec."
RogueSekcMustard's Rogue Guide / ⇛ DubbsBegins' Rogue Sapping Tips
Priest
ShamanPinochet's Resto Shaman Guide
MageDeadvulcano's Mage Guide
WarlockSalfir's Warlock Guide
DruidMrCer's Druid Guide


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




Continued in the next post!


EDIT : OP Updated it by Broken. New working links :)

5. Best-in-Slot Armoury References

The original http://www.twinkinfo.com/f43/f2p-armory-library-21494/ by leotseddap lists and links players with TI-accounts and is a great reference.

Imirak
's original http://www.twinkinfo.com/f43/f2p-rankings-pve-pvp-30245/ has been continued in the most awesome way by lofi: http://www.twinkinfo.com/f43/f2p-rankings-achievements-hks-more-36832/ 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! Thanks to Opinion, iaccidentallytwink, Yasueh, Hiidden, Purse, Swag, Ciroe, lindenkron, C O T U S, Win, Galvarino, pixie, Matterson, Broken, Pinochet, Eliot, jenks33, Battlepøpe, Deadvulcano, MrCer, rsq, Keyser, SekcMustard, DubbsBegins, solvogero, Arknoodle, Thor, Aradiel, Trialcasual, Zino, Rhaellia, Sephirus, Snowjobs, leotseddap, Imirak, lofi, Goldendays for being a one-man-BiS-reference, all the 19s guides authors, and everyone else who makes this forum so useful and fun! :)



Important ! I guess some of the guides here will me moved to this new section : Twink Guide Section. This means that some links will not work again. Don't worry ... Me or someone else will update this sticky again.

Have Fun!

Huge thanks to Broken and Thor for link fixing!

I edited posts as well, as TI randomly added / swallowed lines and spaces and bolded everything.

Undeleted? How? ._.'

Though, it's pretty cool he's back.

Anyone notice how MrCer also suddenly popped back out of nowhere? o:
You can ticket Blizz for an undelete.

Character

Character restorations need to be reviewed by Customer Support manually. Enter a ticket in-game or on the Battle.net Support site with the name and realm of the affected character and any details that may help us locate that character.


MrCer is indeed back, everyone go say welcome!
