== Motivation ==
For the last few weaks i couldnt help myself overhearing all the whining about stuff beeing removed from the 19's twink bracket.
But as a matter of fact we have gained quite a lot from this. Speaking just for myself I find the changes quite Amazing.
This wont be a whining about all the things lost post, nor will it be a all hail to 3.1 post.
In this post, i will try to highligt and showcase what really gives me shiny eyes.
== My background in twinking ==
When i first leveled my mage (Calilo) to level 80 i used to play battlegrounds in every bracket and 19s was far the best.
At that time i didnt have the money nor the will to actually get the best out of her as i wanted to gain max level.
(As a little side note: I got my start on TBC). But still i had a lot of fun fighing in bg's during my levling process.
Now many of you will probably assume i got 'owned' a lot whilst playing, and guess what - i did. But to me this
never really mattered as the main mode of beeing in world of warcraft is dying, and you cant really escape your destiny anyhow.
With that in mind i always tried to support others rather than be the big fighter myself, and i really enjoyed teamplaying rather tan
soloing 10 non twinks like some others i know did. What do i mean by supporting you may ask?
Well, would polymorph oppenents, and freeze them for the stronger ones in place, help distract flag carriers, slow enemy's changing ours,...
And i have a strong feeling this has been in fact brought back by 3.1!
The really interesting question that strikes me is when i am reading somebody's whine about the changes is - are you just making up
the missing skill thruout enchants?.... - Anyhow, back to topic
Whilst stuck between 70 and 80 and loosing my motivation to level as i had done 70+ in a row i wanted to make my comeback in 19's.
And what hell of a ride it has been. I did to my own view extraordinary things, and accomplished my goals very well.
I first off got a pretty decent gear, and especially the arena master trinkets where fun. So much fun i eventually got two of them.
Then i had my highs and lows leveling my professtions to 450 (wich is really a big pain in the arse to be honest and everybody who hasnt
taken the time and pain shouldnt talk about how unfair it is. - i myself did it and consider it a unfair advantage)
After having some of the best gear, and best things i could find to use on my rouge, levling professions and getting enchants the fun for me began.
I am currently at 5k honorable kills. This means i play quite a lot, and i have most of the achievements for wsg (except for the rep one).
But as it turns out for me the real fun isnt all about owning in pvp, shure its nice and i like it but i wont do this all day long when i am logged onto
my twink. As a matter of fact there are a few more things that i really love.
== Things Lost, Things Gained - Really, code or pretense ==
One of the really nice tooltips ingame has provided me with some really good inspiration its "nothing ventured - nothing gained" on the venture
coins from the grizzley hills. Since my twink was close to finished in last december i really saw a lot of fun stuff to do and spent enourmous
ammounts of time on it.
- Achievements:
I know this sounds odd, but since i had gotten thruout all the pain of gearing up as i call it - life had been sweet for me and i definatly wanted to change it.
Accomplishing achievements (some are close to impossible with 19 and some are impossible) - i descided to try to get every possible one with 19.
This has provided me with a lot of fun after wsg or whilst in queue for joining the game.
-Alternate Professions:
*Now this may sound like i am a jerk, but i eventually got cooking up to the max i could get and now own 76 reciepts (all allience chars at 19 can possibly have
..the only ones missing are the thislte tea and the few ones gotten in shatt thruout quests)
*Fishing - All of the twinks i know have gotten theirs up just for the sake of getting the fishing gear. I myself enjoy fishing a lot.
I do it whilst watching movies, or when there is not much going on at nights.
-events and Rp items (+ rp)
I roleplay a lot, partcipate in roleplay events and by the nature of this i choose to customise my little twink rouge to the highest extend.
Carefully coosing my clothing, trying to get all the nice items (picknic basket, beer keg, dvarfen dices, trainset ,.....) and having fun with them.
TWINKING IS INDIVIDUALISM and i really enjoy that. I have no problem wearing medium gear if everybody else can wear the same in pvp.
But at the end of the day its not all about killing in wsg and arena's - for me twinking is more.
The new patch actually brought up some neat changes.
Of corse it has been quite a shock to see my health drop from 2.8k to 1.2k but hey, after i rebalanced the gear i want to use i can go on the farm again.
That will be a lot of pain/fun i guess. Now close to everybody underestimates that the changes beeing brought up to gear.
You will loose a whole shitload of stam but then again if you rebalance your gear you can still get a decent amount if you are willing to have your dps drop a bit.
-- so yeah after all it looks balanced to me
With the FISHING AND COOKING quests removed and a few changes to them you can even level fishing up to 450!!!! - This will be so much fun, dalaran coin seal inc.
Dalaran sewer rat inc,.... Ah now you are getting the idea... (i am not shure about cooking atm)
== summary ==
After all the gear changes, the profession buffs beeing fixed (in a bad way, but fixed) - 3.1 hasnt gotten us all a lot of trouble, it has also gotten us a lot of fun.
And after we get used to it it will be definalty one of the best patches our bracket has ever seen.
== Twinking on Budget ==
As a matter of fact my rouge cost me about 15k gold so far, i have it all 22 slot bags from shatt, nice gear,... jewelery,... but hey i did it all on budget.
Now i guess that since i seem to be one of the best geared, best playing twinks in my battlegroup having accomplished this on budget and financially limited
i see it as amazing. 15k gold are a lot, but you may wonder why i say it was on budget. I earned 14k of it with my rouge.
Fishing for deviates, trading at the auction house and so on provide a neat income for every twink if you do it right.
My rouge caîce is a standalone twink, he is my only charakter on his realm. and stll one of the best geared ones i figure...
== Afterwords ==
Dont always look on the bad things, take a look on the bright side of life and enjoy twinking with even more possibilities.
I wish you all the best luck/fun for 3.1! ( will definatly have fun)
So long

== EDIT 1 ==
i forgot to reference this so here goes
==> http://www.elsanglin.com/3_1_changes.html
guess what i will be up to over the next couple of night =)
the dalaran coin seal will be mine
"Only character level 10 is required to train fishing all the way to 450."
i wonder if they removed the limitations on cooking aswell - as the cooking
quest is gone according to the patch notes. So maybe with a little luck i will be able to get cooking up to 400 or so (cooking stuff is still untested due to the realms still beeing down in .eu)
