I'm using Questhelper as an add-on, which shows this big arrow on the screen, that points me to the direction
It's changes to bright green when I get close - very cool, but not completely accurate.

Hi everyone,

I haven't been playing WoW much. I started playing Sacred 2 and can't stop. It is a fun game. I also want to play Dragon Age and waiting for DD2 to come out.

Karen, I too have quest's for the Deadmines. I've been trying to find help to go through, but no luck. Maybe L4L can help both of us out.
I'll try to be on tonite so I can help you with some quest. I use the add on Carbonite to find my quest. I also have Atlas and Atlas loot. Atlas shows maps of the dungeons (keeps me from getting lost) and atlas loot shows what loot you can get from everyone.

Misslilo, what is the name of your toon? I can add him/her to my list,if you like.

I just thought of something. You use to have to pay for the full version of Carbonite, but not anymore full version is free for download.

lindy, I'm sure we can help you and Doc with a run through the mines. We'll just have to set up a time when we are all on.

Thank you looney.

Hi Guys!
I am feeling pretty good, I just went to get my wound checked at
the Dr's today nd it's healing very slow. still pretty sore & I
can't talk very much yet. but typing works fine for me


L4L what is Light-head and Koordinator??? and where do you get
them at?? I tried to use Thotbot site and it never found
my Quests when I typed the names in? I don't think I was
filling in the stuff right??

where do you get that thing you were talking about Lindy?
cn you Please send me a link to it??
and yours too Missilo?? i need all the help I can get PLEASE... Karen~


Hey Lindy! what iss your oher game like?? I would love
to do the Deadmines quests with you & L4L & soot when
Soot gets home that is! Hey L4L Soot is pretty close to
me right now! what town in Calf. is he?? are you playing
tonight Lindy? I'm gonna play soon as I'm done here. Thanks Guys!

Doc, he is in Monterrey. Tonight he is attending a dinner at the Monterrey Aquarium.

We get all our WoW add ons from Curse--- which in spite of the name, is a good place for add-ons.

Son says Curse has everything except Lightheaded. He says to just google for that one.

I think Soot uses a different Quest Helper than I do.

We can run the Deadmines this weekend-- maybe Saturday sometime, if you all are going to be around.

Edit: Koordinator is a program that shows co-ordinates for the in game map so you can navigate easily to where you are trying to go.

Lighthead is a quest helper--gives you info from other players about what they found worked and what didn't. It saves lots of time. However, like I said, there are lots of Quest helpers.

Also, I have found that I can google almost anything from WoW and get a link from Thotbot or Wowhead.

Good evening friends!

That's what I do L4L, I google the name of the quest, and choose the Thottbot one from the list that comes up. I's helped me a lot!
I also use Curse for some add-ons.
I'd like to get in on the group dungeon on the weekend as well, so count me in!
Andrea

WOW! That was a close call for Soot getting a seat!!

I will be advailable Saturday, but remember I'm 3 hours behind you
L4L, I think Lindy is too? Just let me know around what
time to be on OK? this outta be FUN! we'll have our
WOWing Gangle of Quest going Girlies!

I am so dumb! I don't have a clue what I should download
for a quest finder?? I went to CURSE and have no idea
what I am looking for?? Help! I'll try to Google Light-head
but I prolly won't figure that out either? I am just to
dumb at this kinda stuff sorry~ Doc

you can just Google the name of the quest & it will take
you right to the quest? OH! I think even I might be able
to do that?? Karen

Doc, I think you are 2 hours behind us--We are Central.

I went to Curse, clicked on WoW add ons, and then scrolled the list till I found Koordinator. Then you just download it and go to the root directory of your WoW (wherever you installed it), then Interface, then Add Ons, and unzip and install the game to that folder.

Son always tells me to only download add ons that have been downloaded a lot as those are the ones that are most likely to not have problems.

Like I said, I really like Koordinator and Lighthead, but Hubby uses Cartographer and QuestHelper--both of those are one Curse. Just scroll down and click on Quest in the Category list.

I know VA son has used various different ones--it's just a matter of finding one you like.

Because of the time difference, I'd say Saturday Afternoon--maybe mid afternoon here which would be early afternoon for you all?

Fine for me!
I google the name of the quest, then I get a list of possibilities. I look at the list and find the one that says Thottbot at the bottom of the few lines about the item, and click on that entry. That takes me to the proper page in Thottbot.
Andrea

I may not be able to join the fun on Sat. We plan on having the Grandson here. It would be 7pm server time before I can get on. I'll let you know if anything changes.

I use WoWInterface and Curse for my add-ons. Carbonite can be found at carboniteaddon.

Hi to all the WOW players. I have a question that maybe belongs in a new topic post but I will start here first.

I used to have a WOW account and was playing the expansion (Burning Crusade) before I quit doing Online gaming. Now I have an offer to try "Wrath of the Lich King" for 10 days free.

So I downloaded the material (4.7 GB), did all the updates to the current gaming, converted my old Blizzard account to Battle Net and now I can start WOW but where am I?

I pick a realm, create a new character (my old characters don't seem to be on my old realm for this trial) but I start out in the same old place outside the castle town (created a human character).

My question is, if this a "Lich King" trial shouldn't I be starting out somewhere new? And with a new type of character rather than the old selection? Where did I go wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks.

Lindy, Soot and I could do Sunday after 4 if that is better for everyone?????

Oldfeeble, even though you are trying out the Lich King expansion, that just means you have the latest version and expansion.

To go to the new areas offered by Lich King, you character needs to be a level 68 or above.

When you create a new character, you start out in the starting area for that race which will always be in Azeroth.

There is a way to reactivate your old characters, but I'd have to google for it if you are interested.

Wrath did not introduce any new races--but it did bring about the death knights and some new professions.

If you have an old character who is 55 or above, you could reactivate him (but you can't do that on the trial I don't think). That would allow you to make a Death Knight which would start at 55. So you would be closer to getting to Northrend and the new content.

Hey L4L the new timeSunday sounds fine to me, I'm not sure if I understnd how to install
those add-ons?? I know how to dowload them, can you
cut & paste the files once you unzip them to your
WOW folder??
Another question does anyone know why my
Night Elf-Hunter lvl 18 cannot just use sharp arrows?? I have to have Rough arrows or she will say "I'm out of ammo" why is this? it says you only have to be lvl 1o to use sharp arrows so why can't I just use sharp arrows?? Thanks for all the help~Karen

Make sure you have an arrow in the arrow area of your character screen (the one that shows your armor, weapons, etc)(Press the letter "C" to open that screen) Sometimes it just doesn't put an arrow in that slot for you and it says you're out of ammo. Glitch I guess. Just drag one from your open quiver over to that slot that's empty on your character screen.
Hope that makes sense.

Doc, when you unzip the files, just unzip them into the add on file in your WoW directory. Don't let it make a new folder or install. Unzip it and you are good to go, but don't have WoW running while you do that.

Did you drag the sharp arrows from your bag or quiver to your ammo slot on the paper doll? I've been able to use any arrow that I could buy.

edit: Hi ya Debra, ya beat me

Edit 2: Just a thought for hunters. Hunters do not have to use a quiver. You can replace the quiver with a regular bag which will give you more storage

Hi again!
Either day is fne for me! Do you mean 4pm server time?
When you change arrow types, I've noticed that it doesn't automatically switch the arrows over so you have to drag them to the ammo slot on the character screen to use them.
Andrea

Well, I meant after 4 pm CST time as I think Soot will want to fish--Ok now I've confused myself.

Fishing on Sunday is from 2 to 4 for us--but it can't be 2 to 4 for you Andrea, cos you are 2 hours behind us--so is fishing from 12 to 2 for you?

Wooooo, I need more coffee to figure this out

L4L, Sunday 4 CST works for me(thats also server time for us on CST). Those on the West Coast it will be 2 server time. I think. Anyway I hope we can get together.

Hi Looney,
Thanks, that helps. I hadn't correctly merged my old WOW account into Battle Net. Now that I have done that I can start the game with access to my old Alliance characters and all is well.

Thanks again.

Yes, L4L. Fishing is 2 to 4pm server time, and I intend to do that too, like Soot. Last Sunday, I actually caught 3 of the 'special' fish and got 2 of the fishing lines and 1 fishing hat!! WooHoo! Now I have all 3 of the prizes, The boots, hat and fishing line. I wish they'd let us gift extras to our friends or alts. <sigh> But it's soulbound. I don't think I'll ever win for the first to 40 TF though, becuse of so much competition for fish from the schools. I would really like to win that though. The amount of money you get for turning in the TF has gone up since I started. I think it goes by your fishing level or something.
I need to get ready for work. I have a 1/2 day today, more or less. 1pm to 6pm. Crazy hours.
Later.....Andrea

PS since the rest of you went off daylight savings, AZ is in the Mountain time zone and I am only 1 hour off your time L4L, and 2 hours from Eastern TZ.

Oldfeeble

I'm glad you are able to use your old characters. If you haven't done the Outland quests, you can fly there at 60 and it makes those quests sooooooo much easier.

Andrea, Woo Hoo! Congrats on catching those fish. I've not caught the one for the line yet.

I'm always amazed at how quickly folks win that contest. Sometimes I don't have 40 fish total and they have 40 tasty fish already.

I think it's your character level that determines how much you get paid per tasty.

Ok, so you are only 1 hour off--have fun at work!

To any other Boomies wanting to get into fishing on WoW, go to elsanglin.com for really great info about the subject.
Thanks again!
Andrea

Thanks Andera! I'm gonna go their cause I have not
fished at all on any of my toons and I really want to but
don't know how yet? aren't you like an hour ahead of
me Wash?? I have a good friend that lives in Phoneix.
is it still hot their?

Hey L4L I'm ready to play anytime, doesn't matter to me I'm only lvl 18! so I'm the wimp of the group!

Lindy are you gonna be playing with us too Sunday?
does this work out for you?

OOHHHH I can't wait for Turkey day YUM!!!

Karen

Hi Karen!

Yep, since you went off Daylight Savings, I'm now an hour later (?) than you are.
No, it's not hot anymore thank goodness! I'ts in the mid 70s for the highs during the day, and down to the high 40s at night. Clear skies and sunny and dry.
Got up this morning with a sore throat. Trying to avoid getting a cold.
Hope to see you in-game!
Andrea
