Health bar is provided by DXE a replacement for deadly boss mods, bigwigs, etc.

Mail etc is Stat blocks. Think of it like a replacement for Fubar

but you're allowed to position your little modules anywhere on the screen. The are plugins for things like dungeon finder, mail, calendar, DPS, etc. that

you can add.

Both are available from curse.

Thanks man. Stat Blocks reminds me of Sldatatext and I've been looking for a suitable replacement for that for ages.

Now to find a suitable buff addon to replace Buffalo and why squeenix isn't allowing me to turn off 'Show Clock' (i uncheck it, it still shows) and I'll be set.

I think I'm going to pop back in game for a while and take a gander around. I stopped playing last year when Crusaders hit, I just didn't have the time for the game anymore and I wanted to stop raiding. I killed Yogg-Saron (10-25) and I haven't been back since.. I know it's a between expansions point right now, but is there anything I will really need to note going back in? (downloading 3.x.x to 4.0.0 now)

[MR_Candyman]

In all likelihood you will be very confused as to how to play your class.

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

Haha, I figured that might be the case after I watched last years blizzcon... I'd say no time like the present to learn them again, but I believe tuesdays are still patch days aren't they? So even once this thing finishes installing I wont be playing till tomorrow.

If I do get back in to it I'll have a lot to learn I guess, I have a few 80s to choose from so if they bork up one class too badly I can switch around.

[MR_Candyman]

I'll put it this way: my hunter used to be my main in vanilla and TBC. I'm now leveling it to 80 now. I'm at 76. I was having a great time with it until lvl 74 when the new patch dropped. I hate playing him now. They took away a bunch of abilities that made the class interesting. I'm sure some people like the decrease in useable abilities, but I am not one of them. I have yet to play my paly since the patch (it became my main), but I am not looking forward to it.

If it didn't take so damn long to level through northrend I would consider leveling my priest up.

And yes, Tuesdays are still patch/maintenance day. It generally only last a few hours, so you should be able to get playing in.

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

I managed to get into 3 of my toons in the little time I was able to play, but it seems to take nearly 20 minutes to log into any toon in Northrend at the moment and about 10 for anywhere else. I gather the character recovery isn't speeding that process up, nor is the client downloading.

The moment I got in I saw that a lot had changed... should be interesting.

Hilarious minifig

If he had a roar of Justin beeber, that would be terrifying.

[Minifig]

Chuck up the ideas on youtube gang (I really like that Beiber one.. :laugh:).. I'll add them in the next one .. :D

Someone gave me the idea to do Shatner's "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!" from the wrath of khan. .. which will probably be in the next installment as well.

THE **********ING GUILD REPUTATION CAP! I'm 1 rep point from exalted so I can get the mount but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I got to wait till next week to get it. *headdesk. Look at my experience bar ; _ ;

How much does the mount cost when You hit exalted and what about the flying one?

No Idea about the flying one as my guild doesnt have "Glory of the Cataclysm Raider" but the lion mount is 1350 gold.

Holy crap! That mount is full of win. :D I can't wait to get that on my shaman.

How the hell do you guys reach this much gold, i am trying to save up 6100G for artisan flying, a mount and cold weather flying.

I've just hit 72 so am in Northrend but mining is quite scarce where i'm grinding, i'll be finished before i ever reach that much i've got just over 2000G

Professions. That's about it. I've got about 30k gold spread out amongst all my characters (though 26k of that is on my shaman :p).

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

25 daily quests with an average of 13G per quest (325G per day) from Dailies not to mention Heroic Dungeons loot, non daily quests. took me about a week to make the 4K gold required for the 310% flying before the 4.0.1 patch hit. and since then i am already back up to around 5K gold.

• Buy cheap crap on the AH and sell it high. Right now glyphs are still pretty viable: buy up anything with <5 on the market selling for less than 30g and repost it. "good" glyphs (read every classes 'how to play in 4.0 guide') can be resold for 100g+. Don't waste your time farming for herbs or making glyphs unless it is substantially cheaper than just buying finished glyphs and reposting.
  
• Selling mounts and titles. An ICC achievements drake will net me around 10k for about 5 hours of work. An Ulduar drake brings down half as much gold but takes about half as long too. Titles (kingslayer typically) will turn up 2k for about 10 minutes of work so I sell those when I can.
  
• If I'm just chatting in town I might make up some of the old enchants: mongoose, 30 spellpower, crusader, etc. using materials from the AH. If the difference in mats vs average sell price is > 100g then it's worth the effort.
  
• Gem buying/cutting/relisting worked but the profits are way down from where they used to be. I rely on friends to do the cutting for me now so I almost never bother with it these days. It's probably the easiest market to get into because you can farm justice points for your first 10 gems and after that it's entirely self sustaining
  
• Selling rare items at a markup. 8 months ago I'd hop in trade chat and try to buy things like Battered hilts or primordial saronite for 6k or 1k respectively from anybody offering, then I'd just take them to the AH and list them for 8k or 1.5k respectively (about 5% under AH price). Profit rolled in pretty fast. Some BOE items (necks, wand, chest from ICC) sold very well but I try to avoid dealing in items I can't use myself.
  

When I'm actively trying to make gold I'll spend around 30 minutes a day with the auction house and then my normal activities (basically I just raiding) was bringing down about 2k per week from boss drops and stuff I could shard or sell.

Once you've got dual spec, all the heirlooms, and your tier sets for all of your specs there's no cost in the game. I make it a rule to stay above 50k at all times and average around 75-90k on a typical day. Sometimes I'm way up or down from gambling, but over time you'll break even on that. Past 20k there's really no change in 'quality of life' so it's hard to be motivated to earn gold past that point.

I'm not a mount or achievement ###### and the best gear is from raiding so I don't buy anything other than flasks/food/potions (and even those I buy in lots of 100+ so the price is very cheap, ie 10 stacks of fish-feasts for 1k instead of buying them individually for 180g per stack)
