Ore: Pyrite Ore
Zones to Farm: Deepholm, Twilight Highlands
Required Mining Skill: 525
The best farming advice you can get for Pyrite Ore is to keep in mind that it is a rare node spawn of Elementium Ore. Basically, where you will find Elementium Ore you will find a smaller amount of Pyrite Ore. Don’t forget you must be 525 in order to Continue reading

While I don’t have the exact locations of the best areas to farm Sha Leather yet I have placed a general Mists of Pandaria map below to give you an idea of the layout of the continent. It’s likely that you will find Sha Leather and Sha Leather Scraps in variou Continue reading

The Burning Crusade and it’s zones were left unscathed in the Cataclysm nerf so every spot that was good to AoE Level in, is still a good spot.
Hellfire Peninsula Levels 61-62
Southeast of the Temple of Telhamat, the Burning Crusade famous leveling spot of Continue reading
The long hailed favorite of in-game power levels, most of them dual boxing or doing run throughs, is getting a substantial nerf. The instance will go from 4 instances total to 2 instances, a lot of the areas will be available but the armory and cathedral appear to be available as continuations through the two side entrances now.
What this means for power levelers is that there may not be any advantage to running through Scarlet Monastery and it will become more like a normal instance. Continue reading

Just like with BC, Wrath of the Lich King was untouched in the Cataclysm Expansion, therefore, if you could AoE effectively in WOTLK then you can still AoE effectively in WOTLK because nothing was changed. There are some very good AoE spots however that did receive some of a nerf in the forms of reduced experience, but the best spots are listed below. Continue reading

Think of it as what Titanium Ore was to the Wrath of the Lich King expansion or what Pyrite Ore was to the Catacly Continue reading
For those of you playing in the Mists of Pandaria beta you’re probably well aware of the monk ability Fists of Fury. What it does is pummels targets in front of the caster (no limit to how many) for 4 seconds while stunning them and causing damage. At the lower levels, this damage is enough to essentially kill all of the NPCs. This ability will most likely go through a nerf or re-balancing adjustment as it might otherwise be called.
Due to the 45 second cooldown on Fists of Fury this allows for the monk, with the aid of a healer, to pull very very large groups of enemies (as many as you can find) and kill th Continue reading
