The core links/most used site you should know of:
WoWhead
This is the google of World of Warcraft
need information about a quest? A dungeon? Or even an item you can't find - they got it.
The site can be a bit overwhelming at first though, but the best advice is to check the comments on the post(s) if there are any

Icy Veins
This is my own go-to site for figuring out class talents and what covenants are best for said toons.
This site can be a lot to take in as well, but once you get it down, the site is a loyal companion for you, trust me.


Helpful Youtube Channels that cover World of Warcraft
BellularGaming
Need some WoW news? Look no further, Bellular got you covered.
He will also do class reviews among other things like lore videos, throwback videos to older expansions and much much more.

Hazelnuttygames
This lovely lady covers WoW news, makes boss guides, guides for mounts and/or battle pets.
If you like your news to be nice, sweet and short, she's the go-to Youtuber for me for sure.

SignsOfKelani
Much like Hazel, Kelani does guides, covers wow news and much much more.
Not much else to say about him, he does have a cat cam on his streams, so if you like that go crazy~

Taliesin & Evitel
If you're looking for some more lighthearted and fun WoW news, Taliesin & Evitel's channel is a good place to go~
They cover WoW news with a fun spin to them in from of skits. Knowledge is power!

Addons, UI and how to get them
For changing the default UI in WoW - I personally use Elvui, but you can easily find other UI changing addons on Curse as well.
I just like Elvui, since you can do so much with it, but I do know it can be overwhelming for people if it's their first time using, downloading and installing an addon. I can help and walk you through getting Elvui if you have trouble getting it installed.

Deadly Boss Mods (DBM)
Is another really useful addon, it more or less just tells you when to move out of the way if you're standing in fire or if there's an attack coming from the boss. You can edit the addon to your liking as well, with voice-packs and different colours. This addon can be found and downloaded with Curse.

Gatherer
Is the addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in WoW. It tracks and shows you where the notes you have picked up before are, so you can easily see which "routes" you can take to get the most of out your farming time. They will be shown on your minimap and some of the features are customisable as well. This addon can be found and downloaded with Curse.

Handynotes
It's an addon for your maps. It will show a small guide for treasures, rares and more on your maps. So you can know what spawns where or even how to summon them as well. Really a helpful addon to have, the only "sad" thing is that you kind of have to download a version from each expansion, but it's not that bad in the long run.

I’ll be breaking this first part into two steps.
One for people who want to try out the game and two, people who want to get back into WoW but just find it overwhelming.

Just as a fair warning I’ll not be covering anything about WoW Classic.
Also please note that World of Warcraft is a pay to play game, you'll need your parents or guardians permission if you're underage. Please make sure to read the rules and guidelines by Blizzard as well.

So, you want to get into WoW but you have no idea how or where to begin?
Blizzard has made it fairly easy for people to try out WoW and since the levels got pushed down to 60 and with the new level revamp, you’re in for a treat.

You’ll want to start with getting Blizzard’s game launcher, Battlenet downloaded.
It can be found here.

Once it’s downloaded and installed, then you should be greeted with their new launcher.
From here you can pick which games you’d like to play/buy. But a thing you need to figure out first is what region you’ll be playing in. You see Blizzard’s games are separated into different regions, EU, US and ASIA.

This will be important for you to pick the “right one” for you to begin with since you will be unlocking things for that said account. You can change from EU to US if you want later on, but I’d advise you to pick the one you want to stay with and stay there. That way you won’t lose progress like achievements and mounts among other things.

When you have picked your region, you can pick your game, which in this case is World of Warcraft. You should be presented with a free trial up to level 20. I’d advise you to pick this option at first, to try out the game and see if it’s really something for you. Blizzard has made a completely new levelling experience for new players like you! If this is your first character you will only have the option to pick the new starter zone. It should help, guide and teach you the basics of the game - don’t forget to explore and have fun!


Once you get to level 20 you will have to buy the game to get the full experience. It is a lot of money but keep your eyes open for sales and add it to your wishlist for your birthday or Christmas if you celebrate those things.

A thing you should also note with World of Warcraft is that it is a subscription-based game experience - that means you will have to pay to play it. There are a few different ways to do this, I personally just pay for it each month, but you can choose other plans. A thing you also can do is to pay with something called WoW tokens. They can be bought in-game for in-game gold, and with the token, you can then buy game time or other things from the shop.

I wouldn’t advise a new player to go for the WoW token method though, it can be really stressful and it can be a hard learning curve to get to where you really pull in the gold you need.

Once you are done and ready to take on the full game, there are a few things you’ll have to keep in mind:

Which expansion do you want to play through, when you get out of the starting zone? For completely new players you’ll only be able to pick “Battle for Azeroth” as your levelling experience - but should you be a returning player, that has had characters at higher levels before, there is a new levelling system in place.

First, you need to locate Chromie in either Stormwind or Orgrimmar. She’ll be sitting on a big hourglass. If you’re having trouble finding her, it can be helpful to go to the mission board and pick the quest up there. That should lead you right to her with the new quest marker system if you have it enabled.

Once you have found Chromie, you can pick the different expansions to level in. You can pick between The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion and lastly Battle for Azeroth.

As a new player, I think it’s wise to go with something you think you’d enjoy more, either the story, landscapes or even NPC characters. You can also go after which one you give you the fastest levelling time, but I wouldn’t say it’s worth it. If you’re new, chances are you will get lost not knowing where to go or do, so take it easy, you’ll get to the end-game at some point. A part of the adventure is also the journey - remember that.

The game is about having fun and exploring the World of Warcraft universe.
I hope this guide helped you a little bit, maybe even got you interested in trying out WoW yourself.
Should any of you need any more help or feel like I'm missing something in this guide, please just pm me. I'd love to help out or edit parts if needed~
