Tips for WowX5 Players
1. Zeppelin to Undercity — the main cross-continent transport for Horde in Classic. Essential for reaching Eastern Kingdoms raids and dungeons. 2. Bank in Valley of Strength — open extra bag slots early; prices are low and the space pays off immediately. 3. On x5 Horde characters reach Orgrimmar very quickly — stock your bank with food, potions and reagents for raids early. 4. Auction House is busiest in evenings (server time) — more sellers and buyers means better prices. 5. Rogue trainer in The Drag — don't miss the early quest for a level 10 dagger reward.
