WoW: Death Knight Starting Area Guide Updated

Posted November 16th, 2008 by Xerin

Get through DK land as fast as possible!

Our Death Knight Starting Area Guide has been updated to help you get through World of Warcraft's newest class's starting area as fast as possible so you can get back into the real world. We've got step-by-step quest-by-quest instructions to walk you through the epic adventure. Our latest update includes more info on how to speed through the zone and how to get the quests done. Don't be left in the dust on the way to 80 as a Death Knight, get in and get out so that you can move on to the next level.

This is easier than it sounds. Just go into the mine (located left facing Gothik or just open your map and find it) and throw the item on the ground near a miner. They'll either turn into a ghost or a ghoul. As you gain more ghouls it'll become easier to fight the ghosts. Some say that going into combat with the miners will increase the chance that they'll turn into ghouls but to be honest I don't know if that's true or not.

Our DK Starting Area Guide will get you out of DK land in no time.

Nice solid guide, thanks for putting it together.

Here are a few thoughts as I read through it:

Would be nice to see some Tanking and 2H talent builds, I didn't look at the Blood build but both Frost & Unholy you had DW builds.

For racials, the biggest appeal for a Night Elf is Quickness, and for the min/maxer's out there this is the reason why NE's are the best Alliance tanking race over Dwarves.

Human racials

Hi, good guide, I just have to respectfully object to this:

Humans have the weakest set of racials, except when it comes to grinding for reputation.

That may have been true at one time, but nowadays, humans come with Sword Specialization (+3 expertise) and Every Man for Himself (free PVP trinket without using the trinket slot? yes please!). Add to that the aforementioned Diplomacy (+10% rep gains) and you have a solid basis to push all the way to 80.
