WoW Cataclysm Classic: A Complete Guide To Newly Released Rise Of The Zandalari In Phase 2 - Strategies & Rewards

Transmogs are a very popular feature in World of Warcraft, perfect for players who play on retail or Cataclysm-era servers. This feature allows each character to have more unique and creative customization options. In the minds of players, collecting different types of gear for transmog has become very important, even more than performing missions or raids in the game! What I need to remind you here is that transmog was added in Cataclysm expansion, so you don’t have to start exploring from scratch. You can use some of the equipment or weapons you have already acquired to transmog when expansion is released. Similarly, in WOW Cataclysm Classic Phase 2 Rise of the Zandalari, which will be released on July 30 as the second phase of the entire expansion, you can also use transmog. Any items you’ve previously acquired through quests, crafting, or even drops will appear in your transmog directory. Transmog sets available to each character are determined by their classes. For example, casters can only use cloth transmogs, while Paladins or Warriors can use plate and mail gear. This guide will detail the best transmogs you can use in the game, so you can be ready before Phase 2 arrives! Circle Of Flame Location: Dropped by Lord Incendium Ambassador Flamelash in Blackrock Depths This is a mid-level item, but the drop rate for this item is only a measly 2%, which makes it one of the most sought-after items in the game. It’s not without a replacement though, you can get a Crown of Desolation from Ragnaros in Molten Core raid to replace it. However, both items are very difficult to obtain and require some effort on your part. How To Find Ambassador Flamelash? Before explaining how to find the boss that drops Circle of Flame, I need to remind you that there is a level scaling function in Retail WoW, so if you want to get this item, your dungeon must be scaled to match your character. The same level, and you also need to team up with others to complete this exploration. The following steps are for Cataclysm because there is no level scaling, so you can complete them independently with a high-level character. Go to Blackrock Depths. This is one of many instances in the infamous Blackrock Mountain, and is usually the first place players visit, as it is a level 40-45 dungeon. Turn left at the entrance, go through the gate, and enter the door on the right that leads directly to West Garrison. Then find Grim Guzzler. This is the hottest tavern in Azeroth. Go through the back door, stay on the left, go up the first staircase, and turn right. Defeat Flamelash. Ambassador is alone in a large room filled with lava, but during the battle, several small fire elementals will join the battle and help him. He probably won’t drop Circle of Flame on the first try, so be prepared to do this a few times. If you have run this dungeon before and have the keys to get into West Garrison, you can complete the steps above. If you haven’t been to Blackrock Depths before, you can still go this route, but you’ll need a high-level character or a powerful class. Black Embersilk Gown Location: Get the recipe from the sewing trainer This item is one of the new decorative clothing added in Cataclysm, and you need to reach level 500 in the Tailoring skill to craft it. In addition, you need to use 8 bolts of Embersilk to craft it, so if you are currently using another class, you can use WOW Cataclysm Classic Gold to obtain it at Auction House or commission someone else to make it. But in fact, making Black Embersilk Gown is not that easy. Although this item is just for decoration, it requires a lot of expensive and rare materials, including Volatile Fire dropped by specific high-level enemies in Mount Hyjal, and Chaos Orbs dropped by the final boss of heroic-level dungeons, which are very difficult to obtain. It is also necessary to remind you that LFG function in Cataclysm will only show the option for Heroics when your total gear score is 329 or above, so you should always pay attention to your gear situation. Also, Chaos Orbs don’t drop in regular dungeons, you need to look for higher-level dungeons. Robe Of The Malefic Location: In the hands of Keeper of Lost Artifacts Tydormu in Scale of Sands Every caster in the current game wants this Robe Of The Malefic. Also known as Hood of The Malefic, it has a pair of long horns and a set of giant bat wings. The only way to get this set is to enter Mount Hyjal raid and compete with Archimonde when he drops Forgotten Conqueror’s Chestguard. Once you win the dice, you can trade it with Tydormu. How To Find Tydormu? The vendors who trade these items are usually well hidden, and so is Tydormu. Before trading, you need to prepare the tokens it needs in case the trade fails. You can go to Caverns Of Time. Fly through the entrance to Sanctuary. It’s the second Sanctuary to the right from where the dragon dropped in Cataclysm expansion.  Join Mount Hyjal Raid. You must be level 65 or above to join the raid and have Classic WoW installed.  And speak to Tydormu. Find him wandering the “foyer” of Mount Hyjal raid. This raid has multiple portals leading to different stages, making it one of the most complex and difficult 40-player raids in WoW. These are the best transmogs you can choose from in WoW Cataclysm Classic. Hopefully, you can use them to your advantage in WoW Cataclysm Classic Phase 2 Rise of the Zandalari! Have fun exploring!

Since its release, Cataclysm has been considered the worst expansion for WoW Classic. We have to admit that WoW Cataclysm needs some work to become a significant expansion. Fortunately, there are quite a few addons that can improve our game experience in ways we never thought possible. Major Issues To turn Cataclysm from the worst expansion to the best expansion, we first need to address four major issues in the game. First, we have to fix everything in the interface, from the terrible Group Finder to Chat Spam, which makes it very difficult to recruit for raids and enjoy the game. Second, we have to fix the clunky problem of maxing reputation and maxing professions on each alt. Fortunately, we have a new AI tool that will save us thousands of WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold in a more modern way, allowing our professions to level up faster. The third problem we had to fix was that Heroic Raids in Cataclysm are really hard, so we’re going to give you some tools to push dungeon runs. This is really going to help you out a lot. The fourth problem is that once you clear all those Heroic dungeons, you’ll have so much loot that loot distribution and how you manage it can quickly become a burden. Don’t worry, I’m here to teach you how to make really cool character gear to show off to your friends. Fixing The Interface Addon The first problem was the terrible Group Finder that players kept complaining about. Some Cataclysm groups were even forced to advertise in Barrett and Hold zones in order to recruit for raids. It was a disaster. Group Bulletin Board Our solution was to use the old Group Bulletin Board Addon, which was our best hope for group play. The caveat is that I had to go into settings and select all the different dungeons and groups to get it to work out of the box. Global Ignore List And Chat Spam Filter Secondly, one problem with relying on Chat Spam to fill your group is that Gnomes often spam the chat, which makes it harder to find group members. Even worse, NPCs are always shouting stupid things, and players are always promoting their upgrades. Of course, you always see some asshole who is trying to sell you his GDKP. The problem is that we can’t turn off the chat because Group Finder is so bad, so we are forced to use the chat system. Luckily, we found an Addon called Global Ignore List and Chat Spam Filter, which allows you to block terms such as GDKP boosting and even ignore NPCs completely. This way, we can finally meditate on the game without being disturbed by anyone. I have to say that Cataclysm already feels a lot better after our interface fixes. Reputation Addons But there is a bigger problem. Most players have to earn different reputations for each character they upgrade. Therefore, they have to complete specific daily tasks and max out very expensive professions, which is a nightmare. However, three specific Addons have completely fixed these issues in Cataclysm. Ny’s To-Do List The first is Ny’s To-Do List, which is like any other to-do list on a phone app. This one just happens to be in-game. I find it’s much easier to improve my gaming experience when I have all the steps I need to do laid out right in front of me. Reputation Guide The second Addon I’ve been using is Reputation Guide, which shows you how much reputation you have left, how many monsters you need to kill, how many quests you need to turn in. Realistically, these are all things that should be in Cataclysm by default, but they aren’t. Dailies The third and most powerful Reputation Addon, it’s Dailies. Once you pick up all the dailies, they’ll safely go into the list, making our reputation sorting a lot easier. Profession Addons But that expensive and frustrating profession problem still exists. You have to max them out in every single one of them. That’s where the gaming tools app comes in, though. We simply entered our server and target level into the game tool and we were instantly given a shopping list for the most cost-effective way to reach level 525. It uses AI to dynamically figure out the best route so you can save a ton of Cataclysm Gold. It made my Cataclysm experience so much better. This is definitely the future of profession leveling. Heroic Raids Addons We now have to address the biggest problem in Cataclysm, Heroic Raids themselves. This is where the right application of Addons turned my hatred of Cataclysm raids into a love, and it’s now the thing I look forward to most every week. We got clobbered by Nefarian the first week, but now, we’ve taken down six Heroic bosses and made some really good progress. Nova Raid Companion The first Addon is getting Nova Raid Companion, which is a Cataclysm timer that updates all raid cooldowns. You can also click on the mini-map to instantly see if your raid is fully buffed, depleted, and repaired. I have to say being able to see Talent and even Offspec Talent of each team member is a real plus. WeakAuras In addition to Nova Raid Companion we also have WeakAuras which is a must for every boss we face and it really improves our raids progress. Also, it provides a wearable that automatically minimizes the camera, Max Camera. Whenever I enter the game, it automatically minimizes the camera, which is very helpful for my raid awareness. Loon Best In Slot Eventually, you will get a lot of new loot. The question is how do we best distribute it and who should get the new loot? This is where Loon Best In Slot is wonderful. It adds tooltips for each item based on Best in Slot list, which makes it easier for each raider to understand and distribute loot. ReforgeLite Classic Once you have your new gear, Reforging will be a headache again, and this is where ReforgeLite Classic Addon comes in. Ideally, your Class Discord should have suggestions for stat weights. You simply enter these stat weights and automatically reforge your gear every time you get a new part. Equipment Sets For these new upgrades, while they can still be a burden if you have trouble managing them, I like using Equipment Sets to manage my gear sets to look nice. It lets you save Transmogs and load them, which is something that should really be in the interface. Narcissus Classic By default, if you want to show off your gear to the masses, Narcissus Classic lets you take some of the prettiest character shots imaginable. After all, what’s the point of getting new gear if you can’t show it off to everyone? So that’s our pick of the best addons we’ve found to solve most of the problems we’ve encountered in Cataclysm. Hopefully, they can help you improve your gaming experience a bit more.

Since WoW Cataclysm Classic has been online for about a week, I am going to share with you an efficient gold making guide which can help you obtain tons of gold in WoW Cataclysm Classic. It contains methods from AFK gold making to daily quests and some others. Let's get started! Overview Below are 4 specific types of gold making in WoW Cataclysm Classic. Open World Farming: This is the least scalable method of them all. But it is a very important way to generate that initial income to level professions. Profession-Based Methods: Crafting items that bind gear to sell, prospecting ores to sell gems, or you can even gamble on Darkmoon Cards and sell them on Auction House. Daily Quests: These have an outsized importance in WoW Cataclysm Classic because they're used to gate some of the most lucrative recipes in Azeroth. AFK: This is the most scalable method of them all. These are the AFK passive cooldowns from professions that allow you to generate thousands of gold per week. Open World Farming Let's quickly start with open world farming. The reason we're starting with that is that if you want to make large number of WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold, you kind of have to have some startup gold. So, Volatile elements farming is the most popular method by far right now. What I would do is search the Auction House for all the different elements - Volatile Fire, Volatile Air, Volatile Water, and Volatile Earth. Whichever one's the most valuable, that's what you're going to go out and farm. For Volatile Air, my recommended location would be Uldum near the middle of the map. For Volatile Water, which is currently the most valuable on my server, that would be west of Dragonmaw Port. For Volatile Earth, which is cratering in price and I would not recommend farming it, that would be found near Black Breach in Twilight Highlands. For Volatile Fire, east of Sulfuron Spire in Mount Hyjal is a very good spot as well. Profession-Based Methods Let's then talk about professional gold making in detail. After leveling, you can immediately rush your Jewelcrafting to 500 to prospect Pyrite Ore. It's worth noting that with any of these professions, you could actually max them out at Level 75 and don't have to be Level 85. With so many Miners at the start of the phase, you are able to buy over 12,000 Pyrite Ore very cheaply. It is important to note that this ore is purchased in large chunks. Prospecting that nearly 200,000 gold worth of ores led to a variety of gems. In addition, Prospecting works in Cataclysm are exactly like it did in Wrath of the Lich King. You can just get 5 ores and use macros to spam as fast as possible. Each prospect has a chance to generate uncommon gems and the new Inferno Rubies are still the most valuable item by far to receive in Prospecting. Next, let me talk about some specific ways I'm taking. The 2 methods I'm setting myself up with for a full expansion of wealth are daily quests and passive gold-making. The 2 methods I'm setting myself up with for a full expansion of wealth are daily quests and passive gold making. Daily Quests As for daily quests, the new Tol Barad daily quests reward about 50 gold each. So, just one time per day before Tol Barad, I'm going to pick up all the quests near the portal, and then complete all the quests. We can earn over 350 gold in about 20 minutes. In other words, unless you are playing in an Alliance, you can make gold using this method. These dailies are setting characters up that'll make us tens of thousands of gold in the next couple of weeks. Starting with Jewelcrafting, these new dailies are arguably the single best long-term profit maker in WoW Cataclysm Classic. Your reward for doing that is 16 gold. Far more importantly, you get a Jewelcrafter's Token. These tokens are used to get recipes so you can cut rare gems like the Bold Inferno Rubies for Warriors. Since the recipes take so long to get, you're guaranteed profit by doing these cuts for the next several weeks. However, this isn't the only daily quest that Blizzard designed to heavily reward the savviest and most dedicated players though. Azeroth's brightest gold makers are speeding up their Cooking as quickly as possible. The reason to do these dailies, just like with Jewelcrafting, is to unlock the invaluable recipes. These recipes are gated behind Chef's Award, and you can only get these from daily quests. The more recipes you have, the more potential gold you have flipping on the Auction House. Profit potential is well over 5,000 gold per hour. AFK The last method to talk about is passive AFK gold making. After all, Cooking and Jewelcrafting still require a fair amount of manual backbreaking labor. The single best profession cooldown by far is Truegold. Truegold is a one-day cooldown, so every single day you can make over 1,000 gold like clockwork. The next best profession cooldown is Dreamcloth, and that is a bind-on-pickup cooldown and it uses Embersilk Cloth and Volatile elements. The way that you unload your profit is to craft items like the Dreamless Belt, and then you can sell those items on the Auction House for insane profit. Currently, the belts are worth over 18,000 gold right now to mages. Conclusion Having talked about the 4 ways of Cataclysm gold making, from the open world farming to the professions, the dailies, and of course the cooldowns. Hopefully, you are set up to maximize your profit-making. I'm curious what you think about gold making in WoW Cataclysm Classic.

For all gamers, the pursuit of the ultimate experience in the game is very necessary. However, no game is perfectly balanced, and Cataclysm Classic is no exception. In terms of pure DPS, some classes are better than others, and choosing a DPS Spec that can cause crazy damage is an important factor in satisfying players’ pursuit. After Phase 1 of World of WarCraft: Cataclysm Classic went online, many players wanted to return to the battlefield with a very ideal DPS Spec so that they could easily find a Raid group. Knowing the 10 best DPS Specs to play in Cataclysm Classic currently shown to you in this guide will help you make a choice. 1. Unholy Death Knight Unholy Death Knight is one of Death Knights, and they are particularly powerful. The super powerful Summon Gargoyle’s skills contribute the most to their power, and they can produce huge AoE bursts and continuous Single Target Damage. They excel at Dungeon Farming, and there is no raid encounter that they cannot excel at. The other Death Knight, Blood Death Knight, is an extremely powerful Tank, and both DPS Specs are in the top ten. However, Unholy Death Knight performed well in Cataclysm Classic and can be said to be the best DPS Spec in Phase 1 of World of WarCraft: Cataclysm Classic. 2. Survival Hunter Hunter can play an important role in team battles due to its tremendous damage and the powerful utility hunters it has (such as Misdirection). Survival Hunter is an important one among them because they do not need a lot of equipment to play a role. However, the quality of equipment will affect the ability of Survival Hunter, but they will start to cause tremendous damage before Gear Dependent Spec. If you are interested in Survival Hunter, you can use WOW Cataclysm Classic Gold to provide it with the necessary equipment. 3. Fire Mage Fire Mage can achieve results that other Specs cannot approach in many situations, but this requires good game operation, proper settings, and a little luck. Because it requires luck to achieve optimal DPS, even if this RNG element doesn’t detract too much from its power, it’s still a frustrating trait for some players. Fire Mage’s iconic Combustion in Cataclysm Classic takes this Spec to a whole new level. 4. Demonology Warlock Phase 1 of Cataclysm Classic is a great time to experience Demonology Warlock. Demonology Warlock offers incredible burst in both AoE situations and Single Target Encounters. Demonology Warlock has been reworked from Wrath, and everything came together at the beginning in Cataclysm. As a Warlock, they also offer a ton of utility and AoE cooldowns. 5. Arms Warrior Arms Warrior has amazing and sustainable Single Target Damage and an excellent Burst Window with a short cooldown. It’s easy to see why Arms Warrior is extremely powerful and has been an S-Tier Spec throughout the Phase. And not only is it great now, it’s been great throughout the entirety of the Cataclysm and is a highly anticipated Spec. 6. Elemental Shaman Elemental Shamans have excellent On Demand AoE Damage and consistent Single Target Damage, but lack the burst damage above their Specs. As Shamans, they also bring a ton of valuable Raid Buffs to the team, which makes them shine in any Raid Comp. 7. Shadow Priest Shadow Priests are a brilliant choice for your Raid group at this level, as they bring incredible utility to Raid, and some Raids even completely need the utility of Priests. However, Shadow Priests have solid damage in both Single Target and AoE scenarios, but lag far behind the above Specs. 8. Frost Death Knight Frost Death Knight is also a type of Death Knight. Frost Death Knight is similar to Unholy Death Knight in some ways, but differs in how it deals with damage. While Unholy Death Knight focuses on summoning Minions and applying DoTs, Frost Death Knight focuses on repeatedly hitting enemies hard with powerful striking abilities and the passive effect of Short Burst Window. Frost Death Knight also lacks in terms of AoE compared to Unholy Death Knight. While Frost Death Knight is certainly worse than Unholy Death Knight, it is still a great spec and is much better than most other DPS specs in the game at the moment. 9. Affliction Warlock Affliction Warlock is also a Warlock. Affliction Warlock provides huge AoE damage by spreading their DoTs and brings the strong utility you expect from Warlock Class. They do lack sustained Single Target Damage, though. 10. Arcane Mage Arcane Mage is also a Mage. Arcane Mage is a good choice, but will perform very well in front of Fire Mage with similar skills. Arcane Mage has great utility and Single Target Damage, but there is one Spec that offers all of those same benefits but with far more AoE damage than any other class. So there you have it, the 10 best DPS Specs to play in Cataclysm Classic right now. Be sure to check it out, pay attention to these classes and pick a DPS Spec that deals insane amounts of damage that can help you outshine your competition in the game.
