Guides

How to get on the realm, how to gear up on it and what to do when something has gone wrong. The realm's own players and creators make these, so the list grows slowly and honestly.

21 of 23 guides in this index have somewhere to point today. The rest are listed with their subject so you can see what is coming, and marked as not written rather than linked to an empty page.

Getting started

Account, client, realm address. Everything between deciding to play and standing in the world.

Gear and farming

Starter kit, Heroism sets, weapon upgrades, and the bosses and routes that pay for them.

First looks

The realm seen from outside it, filmed by the creators who cover it. Impressions and the odd short rather than instructions.

Deathwing (Cataclysm)

The 4.3.4 realm. Nothing has been recorded on it yet, and this is where it goes when it is.

  • Video guides for Deathwing

    Nothing has been recorded on the Cataclysm realm yet. Every video on this page was filmed on the Wrath realm.

  • Installing the Cataclysm client

    Deathwing runs 4.3.4. The launcher installs it for you; the download page also has the client and patches for doing it by hand.

Troubleshooting

When the client will not start, will not patch or will not connect.

  • The client will not start after patching

    What the game does when it finds modified interface files, and how to undo a bad patch.

  • Windows warns about the launcher

    The launcher is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen asks before its first run: choose More info, then Run anyway, or install by hand instead.

Not covered here?

Ask. A question asked twice usually becomes the next guide on this page, so nothing is wasted by asking one that is already answered somewhere.
