Time management, what not to do!
Managing Your Time Away from Grinding
WoW is a very easy place to waste time in. From constantly checking AH to doing professions, you can find yourself with a huge amount of wasted time on your hands if you don’t pay attention.
- When checking AH, check for gear for later (but not too far off) levels too. Doing this will save you AH trips in the long run.
- Know what spells you get every two levels. Typically, it isn’t worth interrupting your grinding if the spell you receive isn’t going to increase your grinding time. If, for example, you’re getting a new fireball spell, that’s definitely worth the trip.
- WoW is WoW. There is no getting around it. Travelling in WoW takes a huge amount of time. I’ve seen a huge amount of people go looking for better pits, for an extra 1-2k an hour, instead of just sticking it out and getting that 20k+ for that amount of time the other guy wasted LOOKING for a place to level. Even with teleports, don’t fool yourself; try to limit your travelling as much as you can.
- Professions. Professions are a very popular time waster. STOCK UP. Instead of turning clothe into bolts, and bolts into gear, every time you get materials, STOCK UP. Do it all in big bundles. Keep the materials in your bags if you don’t need the space (some spots don’t drop so much, some do), if not, stock it up in a local bank.
- Instances. Lower level instances are such a waste of time for a mage. The equipment received from doing them doesn’t increase your performance like melee classes. I suggest skipping the lower level instances and head straight for the ones that matter; the end-game ones.
- Dying. As I said earlier, if you’re dying a lot, it might be best to chose an alternative pit. Dying reduces your exp/hour rate a lot. It pretty much is equivalent to AH trips as a mage.
