WoW Horde Guide

The Basics and How to Make Money: If you have decided to play as a member of the Horde faction, you’ll need to select the right kind of race for your character. There are five main races for the Horde faction, including Blood Elves, Orcs, Tauren, Undead and Trolls. Each one has definite assets and drawbacks and it’s a good idea to make your choice wisely. Blood Elves – This race is known for its magical powers. Once believed to be a part of the race of High Elves, they have since changed and become members of the Horde faction. These elves are perfect for players who prefer to fight not with their might but rather their brains. The skills associated with Blood Elves include the Arcane Torrent which silences enemies within eight yards, the Mana Tap which will drain the energy of their enemies and their ability to reduce the efficacy of magic spells cast against a group.

Orcs – This is a very popular race due to their fighting abilities While they may not be very limber, they sure come in handy in the middle of a battle. The traits assigned to orcs include Blood Fury, where they increase the efficacy of an attack on an opponent or slow their opponent’s healing. They also have the trait of Hardiness which helps them resist attacks as well as axe specialization.

Tauren – These bull-like creatures are very powerful and well suited for those who prefer melee fighting to casting spells. They are incredibly effective warriors and do well in battle situations. Their traits include the War Stomp, where they are able to stun their opponents as well as the Endurance trait which helps them resist attacks from opponents. This is a great race for those who aren’t quite sure where they want to start and they have enough power to be effective for a new player.
Undead – Known as the Forsaken for the playable race, these are very powerful fighters who are also capable of using spells quite handily. This is a good race for those who prefer a combination of fighting skills. Their traits include the Will of the Forsaken, which can keep them from fear, needing to sleep or the inability to become charmed as long as it is activated. Other traits include Shadow Resistance and Underwater Breathing.
Trolls – Currently, the only kind of troll that is a playable character is the Darkspear Race. They are very handy in a fight situation and many players prefer them due to their large size and incredible power. Their racial traits include Beserking, where they can unleash an awesome attack on their enemies as well as Regeneration and Beast Slaying.
Once you make your decision to play in the Horde faction, you’re going to need to get through the levels as quickly as possible. It’s very easy to get bogged down taking quests and it can literally take hours if not days to progress through the initial levels. If you want to speed things up, one of the best ways to do this is grinding.

Are you leveling too slowly and is your character poor?

Introduction to Grinding
Grinding is a nice way of saying slaughtering all the mobs you can get your hands on. The fact is, if you want to get more experience points and more importantly, more gold for your Horde character, you’re going to need to get grinding. The problem for many players however is knowing which mobs to grind and where to find them. We’re going to make it very easy to get started.
Horde Grinding Levels 11 – 25: You may have noticed that we skipped over the first ten levels. That’s because there really aren’t many opportunities to really get grinding when you first start out. It’s best to start with the wolves in these initial levels to practice, but you won’t be able to really get your grind on until you get to level 11. So, let’s get started: Level 11 -12 When you are in the Barrens, the best grinding spots are Crossroads and Ratchet. What to grind: Savannah Prowler, Greater Plainstrider, Sunscale Screecher,Barrens Giraffe, Crocilisk, Fleeting Plainstrider, Elder Plainstrider, Greater Plainstrider, Sunscale Lashtail, and Zhevra Runner. Look for the crocolisks in the river. By consistently grinding in this area you can earn 14,000 exp points per hour.
Level 13 - 16
You’ll still be able to grind in the same places mentioned above, but head a little bit south to run into the Southsea Bandits and Cannoneers. You’ll be able to earn about 14k exp points per hour in this level as well.
Level 17 – 22
Head over to Norwatch and look for the Theramore Marines. You can earn around 16k exp points an hour here. For 19 through 22, keep an eye out for South Barrens Stormhides, they are very easy to kill.
You’ll also want to head over to the Northwest Barrens where you can find mobs of Ornery Plainstriders and Savannah Patriarchs as well as the other creatures mentioned above. You can earn up to 18k exp points per hour.

Level 22 – 25
You’ll want to spend a lot of time in Camp Taurajo where you can find numerous mobs to grind on. Look for the Thunderhawk Cloudscraper and the Owatanka in these areas.
What to Do With Your Items
Once you have been grinding for awhile, you’re going to have a plethora of items at your disposal. In order to start making money from grinding, you’re going to need to sort through these items and start selling them at the auction house. Before you list everything you have however, there are a few points you’ll need to remember.
First, it’s a good idea to observe the auction house for a few days before you list anything. You’ll want to get an idea of the current trends as well as the current prices for the items that you have. That will allow you to get an idea of what you should be pricing your items for and how much demand there is for specific items.
Try to focus on the items that are truly worth something to other players. The less valuable items can always be sold to a vendor or to someone else who needs them for a specific recipe. Nearly everything that is dropped by a mob in this game has a value, but some will be worth more than others. Even though you’re already getting experience points by grinding, you can easily make around 50 to 60 pieces of gold per hour in the locations we mentioned above. This should give you a lot of incentive to keep going.
