7. First steps in Warlords of Dreanor WoW: Warlords of Draenor Guide

You start the game in the Assault on the dark portal location. This is where you will spend first hours of the game preparing for the tasks that awaits you on the Draenor continent. First tasks will introduce you to the plot and will show you the basic types of quests. This part of the game is heavily directed, so expect many cinematic fragments and animations. In this chapter you will learn not about completing the quests, but on things that you should do to prepare your character for the game.

After completing few first quests you will have all the abilities that a character on level 90 should have. Sacrifice some time to learn how to use them. Try to understand how they work, move them to the quick access bar. After a few battles customize the bar so that the most often used spells would be easy to access. Repeat it until the effect is optimal. It would be a good idea to search the web for so called "rotation", a list of best way of using skills for optimal effects. While You should search for rotation for your specific class and specialization.

Next, you should fill your talent tree. You will be allowed to add some talents after completing few early quests. There are three talents available in every line, from which you must select one that best suits your character. It is important than the talents corresponds to the rest of your abilities.

After you deal with quick choice bar, what can take some time, focus on setting your backpacks so that every one of them contains a different type of items. If you play as Hunter or Warlock give some time to your companion, learn his abilities, see if you can summon someone else.

Don't forget to change your equipment after every quest that rewards you with a new wearing item. At this point of the game even a change of single item might greatly improve your character stats. And the last thing: Don't be afraid to experiment! Most of the changes can be easily undone.
