Grats, man. How long does it take to get exalted with Netherwing? I've been working on mount reps with my Death Knight. So far, I'm honored with Skyguard, exalted with Orgrimmar, revered with Darkspear Trolls, and honored with the rest of the horde city reps.

How can people have so many mounts? I'm level 60 and I've only had 1. What's the point of having a lot? They all go the same speed (60% or 100%).

How does a flying mount work? You can fly to any flightmaster, any location on the entire game?

When you spend a lot of time traveling on a mount, using the same one over and over gets boring really quick. Having more adds variety and can be an epeen contest to show off rare mounts.

I use an addon off curse that will pick a random flyer or regular depending on which zone I'm in. You can also set each mount's "weight" so it has a higher chance to be picked in the randomization. I use this so my cooler mounts pop up more often than the crappy ones.

50 mounts nets you the Albino Drake.

100 mounts nets you the Red Dragonhawk or Blue Dragonhawk depending on your faction.

Grats, man. How long does it take to get exalted with Netherwing? I've been working on mount reps with my Death Knight. So far, I'm honored with Skyguard, exalted with Orgrimmar, revered with Darkspear Trolls, and honored with the rest of the horde city reps.

I did Netherwing off and on when I got epic training back in BC. I hit revered a week or so before LK drop'd and never bothered to finish it till now. It took me about 4 days doing just the quests and 1-3 eggs a day. The last day I did all dailies then got 6 eggs to hit exalted. It's not a bad grind, espeically at 80. You more or less one-3 shot everything (prot warrior need rage to one shot :p) and in the mines you can grab a group of 10 and kill 'em all without losing 3k health. It's super easy, and hardly anyone is out there, so there's hardly any competition and farming eggs to get you rep is even easier as no one else is doing it.

This may seem like a bad place to ask but someone else talked about it here.

Does anyone know a legit gold selling site? I have no jobs level'd and have no way of making gold. It's only $20 for 1k gold which is practically nothing, I'll just buy it and have it for a long long time.

Theres no legit sites.

Expect keyloggers or worse. Please I dont want to go into the many reasons not to buy gold least of all its against your t.o.s. But needless to say its frowned upon by most of the folk in this thread and indeed the comunity in general.

Spend a few days lvln a proff or go grind up Relics of Ulduar if your lvl80 and AH them all. You,ll make a **** tonne

If you buy gold, just do everyone a favor and quit the game.

Leveling mining, herbing or even skinning to 450 doesn't take long, and the huge amount of dailies found throughout the game can easily provide a steady 200g+ a day. Gold shouldn't be an isssue for anyone, unless you have sever time restainents but then you need to ask yourself why are you playing an MMO? I'm sorry I hate anyone that wants anything to do with gold buying/selling. Gold isn't hard to come by, not at all.

Small tip wanna make huge gold, level mining, and while you are at it level up JCing. Once you start prospecting Saronite, gold will flow via selling gems on AH.

I had 5000 gold in three days after I hit 80. Dailies, finishing Northrend quests that I didn't do while leveling, etc. And this was a DK, and I was too lazy to level any profession, so I wasn't selling any mats. I just had a goal (artisan riding) and I went for it. It really wasn't hard at all.

Alright, I understand what you're saying. In my old game Silkroad, if you didn't buy gold you were ****ed. Everyone bought the good gear and weapons etc. It just seems so tedious leveling these jobs now I'm 60 I'll have to go back to the beginner areas and click flowers.

I want to do dailies, but don't know how. Are they only available on BC? (which I'm leaving to buy right after I post this)

Only reason I want gold is for my mount, no idea how much it'll cost. Just the regular 100% one I mean.

Alright Bawx lets touch on gear.

Do not worry about buying ANY gear until you are 80, plan and simple, you will replace gear about every 2-3 levels, with new quest gear that comes so easy you do not need to worry about gear at all... Even at 80, you do heroics and regular instances which gives you the gear, so no reason to buy anything with gold. Same goes with weapons.

Dailies you can do from 60-80 but please do not worry about dailies yet, level level level... I can't stress that enough.. When you get through BC and on to WoTLK you will make money, good money, and the faster you are 80, the more money you will make.

100% speed mount, yes, you need to buy it as quickly as you can.

Journeyman riding skill (150) costs 600 for training and an additional 100 for the mount, both reduced by the appropriate reputation discount. Epic ground mounts increase movement speed by 100%.

So all you need to worry about is getting up 700g. Do not buy gear, do not buy mats, do not buy anything and just get 700g to buy this mount.

Once you are 70 do not buy a flying mount. You will only be able to use it while in the outlands, and its not worth the 900g yet. Once you hit Northrend, you will not be able to even use a flying mount until level 77 when you get cold weather flying, so save your cash until 77 to buy it all.

Damn I just dropped 100g for a new staff. It was my first purple and way better than my current staff so I bought it. Thanks for that though, it makes sense, I'll do exactly that.

I'm installing BC right now. I think I'm going to the Outlands and follow this guide 'cause I level really fast with it. (James' Alliance Leveling Guide).

Should I put things on the auction or just NPC everything? I made 30g this morning off random drops I threw on AH. I would have made like 5g if I NPC'd them.

Heh, don't worry about it. I made the same mistakes my first time around. Sometimes I still splurge on the AH if the item is just that good.

The problem with putting everything on the AH in Outland is that there is no AH in Outland. You have to go to Shattrath, port to a major city, and then go to the AH. Then you have to either port or hearth back. If you're a mage, it's no problem; otherwise, it's kind of tedious.

Vendoring everything generally nets you a good amount anyway. But, as you said, you can get quite a bit more if they sell on the AH. If I'm in the mood to go back to Azeroth and do it, I usually post stuff on the AH once and then vendor whatever doesn't sell the first time.

If you want to do that sure do it. Can make a good amount of money if you use/play the AH. Also on a side note, one of my alts only had 100G going into BC and by the time I hit 64, I had enough gold to buy Epic Ground and by the time I dinged 70, I had enough money to buy normal flying from just questing/vendoring.

yeah on the AH vs Vendoring items. It's kinda iffy. The biggest thing is people are now starting to buy greens to DE to get the infinite dust from them.. Considering infinite dusk sells for a crap load right now, they can get a better deal out of buying the cheap greens to DE to get a chance at 5xinfinite dust.

Problem being its only lvl 69+ items.

If I'm not mistaken you said your character is only level 60 now? Once you start questing in outland and then northrend your income will increase dramatically. Don't take the chance of losing your entire account buying gold.

Here's what I do, create a level 1 character, load him up with some nice bags, and then just mail things you want to AH to him. That way you don't need to travel back and for. The cost of mailing things is so low it's almost pointless to even have it. It's faster to log out on character then back into another than to travel back and forth.

Edit: Doh...I should have combined my two posts.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.

      Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans
