   How to Use and Install Warhammer Online Addons [09/11 08:29PM]   
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks
Warhammer Online addons is a great feature that was developed to enhance a player’s usability. With addons and mods they can customize their entire interface just the way they like it. It can even add additional features that EA Mythic did not create. A player can customize their user interface to their own preference.

Warhammer Online addons are often mistaken as hacks and cheats but they are actually not. They are actually fully supported by the publishers. EA Mythic created an API system which allows for players to build addons. A player with some knowledge of programming can easily create their own addon and customize all of their user interface as well as other parts of the game. Even without any knowledge of the API or programming, a player can still easily take advantage of addons already created and use them like they were their own.

To install an addon you’ve downloaded, all you simply need to do is navigate to your Warhammer folder which by default is located at C:program filesElectronic ArtsWarhammer. Once there you may need to create an interface folder followed by an Addons folder inside the interface folder. If these directories are already created then you do not need to worry. The addon files you’ve downloaded are usually in a zip or rar format. If this is the case, you’ll need to download Winzip or Winrar to extract the original files. Once that is done, just copy your addon you’ve downloaded into your addons folder.

Once you start the game your addons will be active. Beware when downloading an addon that requires you to run the file. There is never an addon in .exe format. These are usually viruses and Trojans used to steal your Warhammer Online account and password. Also note that some addons may be out of date due patches released by EA Mythic. Always make sure you have the most up to date version of the addon you are using. Another thing to remember is that some addons may have special slash commands that can be used in the game chat interface. You will need to refer to the manual of your addon for more information.

There are over thousands of addons already created that players can use. Some popular ones are map mods. You can find locations of mobs, items, a loot table, quest locations, NPCs and much more. Auctioneer is also another popular addon which records and analyzes data from the auction house. It keeps track of every item sold in, the price it went for, the average price, the minimum price, the maximum price and much more. There are also many great mods to help RvR and PvE battles.

Damage meters are great to help measure the amount of threat generated on a mob. This helps keeps aggro on the tank. Every player is required to synchronize their meter together in order to determine how much threat is being generated and passed around. Healers and high damage dealers will need to watch this meter to make sure they do not pass the tanks threat towards a mob.

There are also many small Warhammer addons that can be extremely helpful. Some addons may tell you when your morale bar is full and ready to be used or when an ability becomes available after a cool down. Some addons even gives you a signal or notifies you that your health bar is low or your action bar is low so that you can take action to run, heal or whatever you think may be best for your situation.

   Benefits of a Warhammer Online Wiki [09/11 08:29PM]   
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks
Wikis are great sites to collaborate information, even for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. There is a ton of information in the world of Warhammer Online; over 20 different scenarios, four thousand quests, thousands of items, NPCs and much more. A War wiki is a great place to centralize that information and build a great informative community to help other players. The wiki relies heavily on the Warhammer Online community to develop its growth and accuracy of information.

Every person who visits a Warhammer Online wiki has access to edit, delete and contribute information to improve the content. It is a forever growing entity that continues to be developed by the owners and visitors. Every edit is logged in case of abuse or the previous edit was better and can be reverted. You can see as each page develops and the entire history of how it evolved. Volunteers and staff are required to monitor all the information inputted from the community to assure it meets guidelines and are of quality and not just spam.

If you’re unable to find the information you’re looking for at the time you visit, you can always check back at a later time or if you found what you’re looking you can always share it on the wiki. There is a discussion page on each content page which acts as a forum. You can request for updates, information, add comments or just chat away. You can find direct help from other members as you would on a forum.

We all know how popular Wikipedia is. They are the world’s largest encyclopedia. Their information is great but there are certain topics which are not covered in depth. With a game like Warhammer Online, their world is huge and forever changing. Patches are released approximately twice a month with new content and changes to the current environment. Without the help of a large community it does become difficult for a wiki to have the most updated information unless they have a large amount of volunteer writers or staffs who contributes to that information as well.

Wikis have their own built in search engine for you to find the information you need but like most things in life, it is never perfect. Broadening your search term or using different spelling variations may help with what you’re looking for. For example, instead of searching for “beginning quests for Chosen” you can instead search for “quests” and see what links become available to you. Wiki engine uses a rather different engine and many people may have trouble finding the information they’re looking for even if it is available. An alternative is using the most popular search engine Google as a medium. You can search the specific site followed by the information you’re looking for. An example would be “site:domain beginning quests for Sorcerer”.

Down to the core, wikis are a great place to find and exchange information. With a great team behind the wiki would be a good start but with a large community helping it can be the best source of information for Warhammer Online. If you find something useful in a wiki then give a little back to the community who gave you that information. Become a “good internet citizen” and share your wealth of knowledge. You will be recognized in the community and will receive great respect and help when needed.

   How to Earn Lots of Gold in World of Warcraft [09/11 08:28PM]   
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks
The currency exchange works in WOW(world of warcraft), with three sets of coins, copper coins, and with a hundred copper coins it will equal one silver coin, with a hundred silver coins it will equal one gold coin. Now gold in world of warcraft is what everybody needs to thrive, there is hardly any advancement without working your characters toon butt off earning tons of wow gold, almost sounds like real life.

The difference from earning money in the real world and earning a living in world of warcraft is that in WOW you can bash someone’s head in and steal his money you won’t be put on charges, and in the game you chose whatever field you chose to go into. Yes in the game of world of warcraft you can pick and chose what job you’d like your avatar to specialize in and that is where a lot of the big cash comes in.

There are ten primary professions you can have alchemy, blacksmithing, enchanting, engineering, herbalism, mining, leatherworking, skinning, and tailoring. Now some of these professions go together with others such as mining and blacksmithing, you’ll need the metal the mining gives you to blacksmith with into weapons and armor.

There are three secondary professions which are first aid, cooking and fishing. You can learn all three of the secondary professions but only two of the primaries so chose wisely. You will gain lots of coin selling your special talents you pick, to others, not venders mind you, there are general prices that venders buy items off of you for, and the price the venders buy the items from you for is much lower then what you can get for them if you sell the items on your own to other players.

The more you use your profession the better you will become at it and the more specialized you will become to it. You can get so high that people will seek certain items only you and those of your level will be able to create for them, at this point you can name your price. Alternatively if you want to skip the whole having a profession thing then in my opinion you’re only other shot is questing. Taking adventure after adventure selling the spoils and keeping all the loot you find off of everyone you beat, the old fashion way. While the later might sound like a better road to travel since having a profession is just like real life, consider that fact that without that profession you might just end up a poor troll or sad Paladin in the world of WoW gold.

Professions and trade skills are not the only professions that can earn you cash, gold and money. You can easily farm large groups of mobs using area of effect spells or even kill high end bosses and mobs to acquire items of higher value. Using heavy tanks are often the key to killing strong single mobs while using a caster with an area of effect ability are able to kill lower level mobs but at larger quantities.

   Benefits of Running Multiple Warhammer Accounts [09/11 08:28PM]

If you own a very fast computer such as a duo core 2.4 GHZ with 2 GB of ram and a really nice video card, you can probably duo log an additional Warhammer Online account at the same time. By running two or more accounts you can have many benefits at your side. You are able to tackle down quests that are a little more difficult for solo, take down harder mobs, farm more Warhammer gold, and even swap around different characters to play when you are bored with one.

There are a few types of classes that can be mixed as 2 to create a really strong team. To break things down, the most common classes of any MMORPG includes a heavy tank, a healer type of course, the range damage dealer such as a caster or archer, a melee damage dealer, a support class with crowd control abilities, minor heal abilities or buffs and usually the least wanted class are the sneaks such as a stealther type. The most commonly build up of a duo usually pairs with a healer / support with a tank, melee or a range damage dealer.

Every group, whether it’s a group of 2, 5 or whatever numbers it may be it requires a healer or a support class. The healer is more or less the heart of the group and should be kept alive at all times. If your healer is dead, you are more or less going to go down as well. Secondly you would of course need to deal damage; tank, melee or caster dps would do just fine depending on the situation and what your plans are.

Playing 2 accounts is rather much easier than you would probably think it is. It is ideal to set up both clients on windows mode and have a very comfortable key setup. The “follow” command is your best friend. That will be first and most important command you will need to move 2 different characters around. My 2 most favorite combinations include a tank with a healer and a caster with a support class. I sometimes even mix tank with a caster as well. A caster with support combo can take down large piles of mobs faster but tank with a healer can take out much higher level mobs, usually good for bosses or special encounters. For an even faster killing you can go with double damage dealers.

Leveling 2 characters at the same time isn’t much slower than leveling 1 alone. Sometimes you can even level faster on certain games and situations. Another major benefit is if you are out in a RvR group, you have the many classes available to fill what your group needs. Sometimes your group may only have 1 spot left and they need a specific class to fill that spot. Running multiple accounts, you have the variety of options available. If you can afford an additional $10 to $15 a month, I would surely invest my money into that second account. If you want to play different classes, you can level 2 at the same time instead of leveling a new 1 over and over again. Keep in mind, with 2 different accounts, you can farm Warhammer gold much faster and sell those gold to other players to cover your account fees.
