Ok so last night the hubby and I decided it would be fun to start anew. We created a Tauren druid/warrior combo and began our journey in to Mulgore. I am not a huge fan of vanilla WoW, for the simple fact that I have been there done that too many times. With that being said we were having a very good time. The strength of the combo is seen very early on with the fact that without anything but the starting gear we were able to dominate 6-8 mobs 4 to 5 levels higher all at once. I am excited to see how the growth goes and if we continue to be this nasty as we get older. We were able to make it to level 9 fairly quick, even with stopping to learn some trade skill stuff. We finally made it to the little town where we had access to a mail box and were able to get out our heirloom gear.

The best thing about heirloom gear is that you can pass it around to whatever character you are lvling once you buy a set of each cloth/leather/mail/plate. The other cool thing is that you can wear the set that you will be able to wear when you are 80 not what you can currently wear. For example, a warrior can only wear mail at level 1 but he can use the plate gear and it will scale to mail. Same holds true for all other classes like Hunters and Shamans. Also ya know all those stone keep shards you are running around with? This is a cool way to spend them if you don’t have enough badges or don’t want to convert frost badges down. You can find the vendor in Wintergrasp next to the stairs sitting on a mount. Downside to the stone keeper gear is you do lose a stat for resilience. The only experience boot you get is from the chest and shoulders and it will your 20 percent to everything including quest turn ins. The weapon is good to have because it has decent stats and you are not going to find anything better even on group quests. I am currently using one on my druid and we still need to get one for the hubby’s warrior.

I will keep this updated as we move through our levels.
