I got that.  I even put the arrows in the quiver!

you only need a quiver or ammo bag if you're planning on carrying more than one stack of ammo. i find that for warriors/rogues you're just fine keeping the stack of arrows/shot in your inventory and freeing up that slot for a bag rather than wasting it on an ammo pouch or quiver.

I did not know that!  Awesome, more room for my rogue!

... if I ever played her again.

Using a quiver or ammo bag increases firing rate, by the amount noted in the quiver or bag's tooltip. Really doesn't matter as a non-hunter, you'll only be firing a shot or two before you're in melee.

Hehe, or so you think...

Now wouldn't that be a suprise twist.

I've got a strategy going for soloing. Clear an area of roaming baddies near a Defias Brotherhood group.  Use the crossbow to draw the melee only DB members to me.  During melee slowly back into my safe zone.  When the DB member runs away, its now possible for me to follow him and finish him off even if he runs toward his group.  Once the melee only bad guys are dead, work on the projectile bad guys and eventually the mages.  Of course its more fun in a group, less care is required when dealing with a group of baddies.

Does anybody know where I can buy shoulder pads or a helmet?  I'm not finding those for sale anywhere.

Stormwind doesn't have any guns in the trade district.  I'll have to go see if the dwarves make those.

I've been surprised a few times.  The cleared roaming monsters eventually respawn.  Its heck to be beating up on a DB member and have a Fleshripper and Coyote join in.  Yet another return from the dead.

Also, I believe guns are sold in Dwarven District of Stormwind not the Trade district where the Tram is. -netnutz

p.s. What really sucks is playing a melee class and a ranged mob is spawned up in a cliff or in a tree where a) you can't get to, & b) they can keep ranged firing at you. The worst is when they are stuck in 'evade' mode where anything you throw at them misses. Best just to leave the area if u can. /rant

That evade thing.  I noticed that on a character or two and thought that must be a bug of some sort since their strikes never hit me either.  I did finally just ignore that character and go beat up on a different DB member.  Heh, I've not yet had a group of spawned baddies appear in a location I can't reach.

I also noticed some dead critters laying around that never disappear.  There's a dead Goretusk near Sentinel Hill that's been there for at least three days of real time, not game time.  I thought all killed things eventually fade away and respawn.  What's up with that?

I was wondering what the relative speed of game time is vs real time.  It looks like game time runs about 50% faster than real time.  However I haven't watched a clock to verify that.

Thanks, I'll head over to the dwarven district for a gun.

Gryphons (the winged mounts) are not purchased but used on a one-time basis, for a small fee.  Some are free.  They transport you to a set destination and disappear...the most expensive rides are 9 silver.

Game time is real time. It used to be set to Central Standard Time but now I am not so sure. If you see anyone in game saying such and such at a certain time, they a referring to game time. What you are probably seeing is that in game they made sun rise and sun set last a little longer than they are supposed to since it looks pretty.

Oh, and those guys you were talking about were probably bugged. It happens.

I know WW is on CST. Mouse over the game clock and it's the same time for me. Wish they'd dump that clock tho. Don't need reminders of how much time I've blown.

The Evade bug:

It happens when you or your target is in a spot that can not be attacked. I.E. Wolves can't/don't swim so attacking them from water won't work. Sometimes positioning way up on a hill with the idea of "raining hell" down upon your foes will not work.

I too had a baddie fall through the terrain and attack my feet. I coined a phrase for it "A WoW WTF moment" or "WoW WTF!" for short.

Perhaps that's true in some instances but not all.  I had a Defias Brotherhood member standing in the middle of a field with no plants between her and I.  We had nothing but evade, evade, evade.  So I went to beat up another.
