One of the biggest mistakes most WoW players make is just jumping into
the game and trying to kill everything in sight! Their friends tell
them that they can make a boat load of wow gold by finding the best
spots for grinding. If they run out of gold, just go buy some more
from the Chinese farmers! Crazy, isn't it? Well the best thing to do
is concentrate on the basic tips given here and that will lead you to
really enjoying the game, World of Warcraft as it should be.
Tip 1 -First and foremost, Read the Quest Journal
This can simply be done by hitting the "L" key on your keyboard. This
will open up your Quest Journal. This contains almost all the info you
need to figure out whatever quest your given. Check it from the start
of your quest and check it often throughout the game as your quest
levels up. The journal also gives you precise directions needed to get
you where you need to go. Read Your Quest Journal!
Tip 2 -Use The City Guards, They are your friends.
Instead of clogging up the general chat channels asking people for
directions in hub cities, just simply ask a city guard! They will give
you directions to almost everything within the city and even give you
a flag in your mini-map....
