Hey there guys, 2nd time posting here, just had a few minutes and wanted to ask a few questions i've been wondering about. Btw...I play on Firetree(PVP, alliance side) and my name is Unlucky ingame if anyone needs anything/wants to talk :D

1st off, im a level 28 NE druid right now, iirc i have about 1100 healthpoints and about 1300 mana points and 850armor WITHOUT any buffs or shapeshifted. In Bear im about 1400 health and about 1550 armor. Unbuffed also. I wanted to know if this was good? bad? normal? I've mostly targeted stamina items with intellect secondary because i usually play tank when me and my friends go out, my friends are (currently) 28priest, 29warlock and 30rogue, so i end up as winnie the pooh, mr. tank. And i think my health is high because so far, i've yet to encounter anyone with my health at my level :D Most the paladins/warriors i group with that are my level wonder how i have more health than they do :) But, anyway, is this good? bad? Are my stats bad?

2nd, I've heard both ways...but as a druid, solo (or most likely with just my priest friend, we hang together all day, but i play for a few hours before him everyday so i solo also) is it better exp to grind or quest? And this leads me to my second part of the question...Where, at level 28, can I go solo (grind or quest?) and/or can me and my priest friend go level (again, grind or quest?) Also...this doesnt have to be solo/duo places, we like doing instances, what are good instances or grouping spots at this level also? Btw...I'm looking for leveling idea's for solo and/or with my priest OR a group thing also, all the wway to level 60 if possible, i really wanna level up asap as my friends keep passing me in levels.

3rd, talents...You've read above and see my situation, i solo a little, group with just my priest friend, and also do some instances/groups. and eventually (AND on the way, not just at level 60) PvP...We head out just either me and my priest bud or the group of us 4 (druid, priest, warlock and rogue) to pvp sometimes. So! What is a good talent build to use while leveling and PvPing, then eventually i guess nearing level 50+, a build more towards PvP. I have seen and sorta like the 9/11/31 builds? Not sure if its good for leveling, but think i want to end up with Intervate whatever else i choose, unless thats a mistake? I really need help in this talent stuff...I want a build to level fast with what situations i have and also a lil pvp in there, and then eventually i guess mostly a PVP build.

And i guess thats it for now! I'd really apprichiate any and all help i can get, im really looking to level up fast, have some PvP fun on the way and figure out this dang talent thing :D

Btw, my weapon is a Emberstone(I think stone) Staff, the one from VC, like 20dps 8intel 3stam and 6spirit or something close. Incase you needed to know my weapon.

TY!!!!

Btw, dont know if it matters, but I am 225 Leathercrafting and 205 Skinning and have about 50g in cash (noooo I didnt buy gold with real life cash, i earned it through trade!) So if there is anything you think i need to buy/make, lemmi know also!

Thanks!

One last thing, i hear about all these people leveling up characters to level 60 in like 2 weeks, is this false? Cause i dont care if i have to play alot, i already play too much, but, if its possible, I want to do that!!! I wanna be high level asap. I REALLY wanna be the first of my friends to hit 60.

Thanks again!

At level 36 in caster form my HP can vary from 900 to 1500 without buffs. I'm an enchanter so that 1500 is with sta enchants to all my gear that already had sta on it. Your HP is very high. Most of the time, as I leveled I found that my biggest healing touch about equalled my total HP. Your AC is also very good. I'm actually wondering how, exactly, you got it that high at your level.

I always quested as 1. It's better experience and 2. I get very bored just grinding. Grinding with an AoE mage or two can rival both the 'fun factor' and xp of questing though. I know of two places you can go: Astranaar (alot of running to quest or grind), or Duskwood. I'd go to duskwood. Some of the fields out there are great AoE spots.

Make sure not to miss one quest in Astranaar where you get, in the middle of the quest, a rod with infinite charges that turns you into a Furblog. Don't turn the rod in, and, in fact, just abandon the quest as soon as you get the rod. The reward is crap compared to the 'fun factor' you'll get from the rod (image a Furblog strolling through the IF AH). Can someone help with the name of this quest, please.

Well, if you're in feral form grab those talents. Personally I think they're extremely underpowered compared to the other trees though. Don't miss the two restoration talents which give you rage / energy upon shifting into forms. If you really want DPS get the talent to reduce casting time on wrath then: Pull with starfire, root, moonfire, and repeatedly cast wrath. You'll exhaust your mana pool but you can kill most stuff within a level or two without even being touched. Take the talents you think you'll use most *now*. I see alot of people taking their first respec (10g) in their early 40s to early 50s. 10g isn't much more than a solo Deadmines run for me now at level 36.

Make armor kits. They sold like hotcakes in Auberdine when I was there. People can't really afford the enchants yet.

Personally, I'd level at the rate my group levels. Then you always have a trusted group to work with.

I earned over 50 gold with my level 22 rogue on a high population server (alliance side). I did it with copper and wool. Once I had the 50 gold I had my seed money and started playing the AH. Some people hate it I know but I have always enjoyed being a "merchant" in online games. But to play the AH you need seed money. I would mine copper and collect wool and sell them with a buyout of 5 silver less than any others up for bid. Often, mine would sell before I even left Ironforge.

Simply mining copper and collecting wool while exping was enough to net me right at 50 gold by level 22. Though, I don't think it would work on a low population server.
