question about paladin.

[j_d]

what is a good build for a paladin. human of course. im just wondering what skills are good for just starting off. also what is good tradeskill to aid paladin.

herbalism/alchemist
or
miner/blacksmith

[kockblocker1]

Miner/Blacksmith would be better for a pally.

Worked great for my OB pally. I was one of the best (if not THE best) Blacksmith on my server until I moved. I had the best wares at the auction house, and stuff that most people couldn't wear yet. I was rich.

Being able to make your own junk is handy, as well. The only problem is that Veins might be hard to come by on a highly populated server.

When do you start running into iron veins -_-. Im tired of mining tin.

Im on the illidan server and I'm having no trouble finding silver, tin, and copper veins. Im lvl 22 atm, and usually look around lakeshire.

Go to third tier areas. For horde, it works something like this:
1st Tier-lvl 1-10, Just copper
Durotar,Mulgore,Tirisfal Glades
2nd Tier-lvl 10-20, Copper and Tin/Silver
Barrens,Silverpine Forest
3rd Tier-lvl 20-30, Tin/Silver and Iron
Ashenvale,Stonetalon Mountains,Hillsbrad foothills

What annoys me is that silver is actually a rare tin spawn, making it especially hard to find in the 2nd tier areas where copper is still much more common than tin. Also, the whole tin being useless without an equal amount of copper thing is total BS.

[Randuin]

I don't know... Ashenvale kind of is like a 3.5 tier. Most things there a beginning level 20 couldn't take...

Oh yea, there's tons of tier 2 for alliance.

Loch Modan, Westfall, Redridge Mountain, Darkshore

[Sovereign]

Darkshore actually has Iron deposits. And gold. I was just there, mined like 12 iron or so. But yeah, thanks ^-^

[Randuin]

You mean Darkshire? I would be VERY intrigued if Darkshore had Iron and Gold...

You can't really use Tin by itself, it's mainly used in alloys anyway. It's a soft metal, isn't it? I don't know as much as I would like about Metallurgy. Maybe I'll pick up a book at the library.

But they could have bronze veins couldn't they? I'm sure I've heard of native bronze somewhere, so it's not impossible. I guess I'm just annoyed that I have to give up all my precious copper to do anything with tin; that and the fact that I don't really use bronze for much; I'm just mining the tin so I can get to iron, but that is taking forever. Heck, Surge has 100 bronze sitting in his bank because he mines the tin for the course stone but the tin itself is mostly useless.

They need straight stone veins, I swear. I want to go and just mine stone.

[Sovereign]

Hah. Ive got 100 tin, 100 copper, 12 iron, 22 silver, and 4 gold ^_^.

ANd yes randuin, I meant darkshire :(. The gold and iron veins are usually heavily guarded with lvl 30's or so.

Also, wetwired, if you look at what you need to make bronze, you don't see "bronze ore" anywhere. I don't think blizzard would leave that out.. but Iunno.

Native bronze COULD be possible in the real world, but I doubt it. Like I said, I know less about metallurgy than I would like. I don't think there are Bronze Veins in WoW though.

If you need more Coarse Stone, another decent place to get it is in Ragefire Chasm. The 'Molten Elementals' seem to drop them like crazy. If Surge has 100 Bronze in the bank, I would use it for Skillups or put it on Auction.

[WetWired]

Did you actually read my post? I said that I'm annoyed that I have to give up all my useful copper to combine with tin to make mostly useless bronze. If they're gonna make bronze so useless, they could at least just give it to me instead of making me pay for it.

[Grav]

I have 200 bronze, and nothing to do with it because I've outleveled bronze items. Prices on it dropped significantly also, so selling it would be mildly worthless. I think I'll just deplete my supply on daggers I sell over time, or hand it down.

Also, those elementals drop it 1 in 3 times, at best. Not worth it at all, I'd rather just mine tin. Which is the problem!

[Randuin]

Sell to vendor then? At least make SOME profit.

[Sovereign]

Did you actually read my post?

Not really. Just skimmed over it. Guess I should read more closely ^_^

[Grav]

I decided to blow it all last night after I got a new recipe, to gain about 15 more blacksmithing.

[Randuin]

What's it at now? I really want that blue chest piece :(

[Grav]

I could make that billions of years ago. It's just 4 gold is more tempting.

[Randuin]

Fine... Tabard plz
