Tips for Beginners

1. Always end you play session at an Inn or City where your character can become rested. When rested you get a XP bonus (200%) every time you kill a creature (Note: you do not get an XP bonus for completing quests)

Group Loot Rules

This is a guide to the loot rules when you are in a group:

1. If an Uncommon (Green) item is looted then use the Need or Greed buttons depending on whether your character can use the item.
2. If a Rare (Blue) or better item is looted then all group members should Pass. You then discuss amongst the group who needs the item. If 2 or more members of the group need the item then you roll for the item with the highest role winning (type /role in the chat window). If nobody needs the item then all group members do a Greed role (often referred to as a groll in chat) for the item.

Experience (XP) Gained

A brief summary of the experience gained for killing a mob:

Basic Formula: XP = 5 * Character Level + 45

• There is a 5% XP bonus for each mob level above your character level up to a maximum of 20%
• There is a 100% XP bonus for killing an elite
• There is a 150% XP bonus for killing an elite in an instance

The calculations get very compilcated when in a group or killing mobs of a lower level than your character (remember no XP for killing a gray mob). For a more detailed explaination visit WoW Wiki.
