I'm thinking about playing WoW. My sister is into it, and she's been telling me about all the basic stuff.
My questions are, what is the best race/class for a noob like me, and what professions should I take?
race doesn't really make much diference, other than what classes are allowed for each. class choice is a matter of personal preferance and style of play. try many different ones to see which feels most natural to you.
for profession: after you choose which class will be your main, i recomend skinning(roughly half your kills will be skinnable, so why let it go to waste), and either minning or herbalist for your first toon. that way you can sell all the mats you gather to earn money. the auction system economy is so screwed up from gold sellers/buyers, and people with high lvl toons with plenty of money, that it can be tough for new players to get any decent gear out side random drops or dungeons.
i also have a secret tactic for getting paid as a new toon, but i won't share it publicly. PM me for the details.
