Does anyone have a good classic Alliance leveling guide? I tried the one posted one the first page but it's an in-game mod and I don't find the literal step-by-step directions very helpful. I've always played Horde since release so I'm more looking for a general guideline of zones and levels.

I use the Cartographer Addon and it gives me the level ranges of zones and instances. Kind of handy when you're not sure where to go next, I guess.

So. Mount grinding at 38-39. Rock Elementals are the wisdom, but they're also the wisdom for the Horde city next door -- which makes them quite non-conductive to grinding, especially at peak. Any other suggestions?

Basilisks at the southern edge of shimmering flats. They respawn much faster than you can kill the camp and there's vendors nearby.

Just watch out for Horde. They love to bring roaming gank squads to that area, as it IS a popular farming spot. AND it is right next to Gadget.

There's a better camp of rock elementals to farm on the south side of the zone.

I've been working on a castbar addon which displays latency and stops casting intelligently before new spells and has lots of custom configurable movable castbars included).

From the bat, known bugs:
  • channelled spells are displaying latency on the wrong side
  • sometimes the spellbar disappears but you are still casting. I am still debugging this one, it might be a Catch22 situation mostly fixed sometimes the server is too ambiguous

The features of this one are:
  • Quite configurable. Look at the readme. You can use this with other castbar addons
  • No macros needed. It intelligently calls SpellStopCasting() if you are spamming your spell key

If you are a caster and your ping is over 80ms this mod might make your life less painful.
If you are a caster and your ping is over 300ms download right mod right now.

Oh poo poo, here I am terrified of rolling a caster because of the hassle manually stopcasting to maximize my potential, and you just up and fix it just like that.

Now that I'm looking around, it seems that at least one addon existed from 2005/2006: http://classic-addons.feenixtools.com/Fastcast_v1.11.2.zip (looks fairly comprehensive but I haven't used it)

(I have another crafty idea for a mod)

Just realized I've been using the wrong thread all this time. Anyway, PROGRESSION. Our first all guild BRD run ended in success (Obviously, since we are a professional raiding guild with no casuals). Only Paladin loot dropped from every boss.

Thanks, tried it and it does indeed work well. I read through all the rules and haven't seen anything being mentioned about dual boxing except that we weren't allowed in pvp. That's fine and all, but I was planning on leveling with my own pocket healer, since I have a limited amount of play time as of now. Does anyone know if it's allowed or not?

You are allowed to dualbox to level up. I think we have a guild member that 5boxes. They just don't want you doing any PVP with it. I've heard that means if you get ganked you can't fight back dual boxed.

Yes, if someone attacks you, and frapses you multiboxing to defend yourself, you can get banned. It's absurd, but apparently true.

I always jumped to stop spellcasting when you couldn't move around because you were max ranging your heals/cast. Or you could always bind space bar or some Ctrl+space to move forward to stop casting.

I take it the stopspellcasting() command wasn't in 1.12? Otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this?
