[:1]Yea, I know, rogues are technically the best for lv19, but I just really want to play a mage lol. I brought my main mage in at 18 (33 now) a while ago and had a blast, but only hoped I could have better gear. Mostly I just want to use the Inferno Robe lol.
Things I can supply it at my leisure:
Green Tinted Goggles
Thick Bronze Necklace
Bronze Band of Force
Pulsating Hydra Heart
Banshee Rod of the Sun
Evocator's Blade
Troll Knickers until I find Sanguine Sandals in the AH
Level 8
Crystalline Cuffs
Level 10
Gold-flecked Gloves
Lavishly Jeweled Ring
Level 13
Feyscale Cloak
Level 15
Talbar Mantle
Level 17
do Quest:WANTED: Syndicate Personnel, prerequisite for Quest:WANTED: Baron Vardus
Level 19
Inferno Robe, from Quest:WANTED: Baron Vardus
End result:
Head: Green Tinted Goggles
Neck: Thick Bronze Necklace
Back: Feyscale Cloak
Chest: Inferno Robe
Wrist: Crystalline Cuffs
Hands: Gold-flecked Gloves
Waist: ??
Legs: ??
Feet: Sanguine Sandals
Rings: Bronze Band of Force and Lavishly Jeweled Ring
Waist and Leg items are up in the air for me since I can't seem to find a guide giving an affordable alternative to Keller's Girdle and Darkweave Breeches. Through my own research, I've found
Bright Belt
21 armor
+4 int
+4 stam
Colorful Kilt
33 armor
+5 spirit
+6 damage/healing from spells
Fact is that I've only been playing for about a month, so 1) I can't afford all those expensive top-notch enchants, so I'll probably just make do with my main who's and expert enchanter, and 2) this is all pretty much new to me, so, if you think you're detecting ignorance, you probably are.
Is this pretty good? Are there better choices for any of these? Most of these choices I've lifted straight out of a guide, so feel free to let me know if there's a better choice I've yet to see. Keep in mind I pretty much can't afford to buy rare drops that every warlock twink wants as well. I've got about a total of 100g amongst all of my characters.|||The thing about 'teh twinkage' is that it is generally considered an 'all or nothing' project.
To be honest, 100g won't really help you enough to make a difference. Most serious twinkers spend 10 times that getting all the gear and enchants together. As an example, you'll almost certainly want Spellthread for the trousers. That alone will set you back well over 100g, unless you have a VERY kind guildie who is feeling generous.
If your other mage also has tailoring, you might be able to make something and then enchant it. Can't remember of the top of my head what is available at that level.
hth
DelBoy|||So, you want a budget twink? Well it is doable, but the first thing you need to understand is your role as a mage at 19.
At 19, you will never be a huge damage dealer as a mage, no matter how much you spend. Even if you got the best enchants and gear, a budget rogue would out dps you without much effort. For this reason I have to strongly advise against fire (or arcane) talents. To be effective you need to use the frost tree. Your snares are what make you viable in the 19 bracket.
The talents you want are 5/5 Improved Frostbolt, 2/3 Frostbite and 2/3 Permafrost. the last point you can use to max out either Frostbite or Permafrost.
As for your gear question, there is only one stat that means anything to a mage, and that is stamina. You want to shoot for 1000hp minimum if you can. You can get most of that on a budget, as most stamina enchants are not very expensive. 100hp to chest can be had for a song, as can 9 STA to bracers, among others. The only exception to this rule is your boots. You can put stamina on them but as soon as you can afford it, get the runspeed enchant.
You should try to get the fishing boots and hat from STV. You get them during the fishing contest on sundays from 2-4pm server time. Be warned that it is very difficult to do on a 19 without help, especially if you are on a pvp server, but you end up with the highest possible stamina by far in both slots.|||Quote:

What do you mean by "brought your mage in at 18, 33 now"?|||Just make sure you want to invest the money for a short time, because Blizz is killing twinks after the expac, they may change it this tuesday in the patch >.<|||Quote:

I thought they weren't going to award xp for BGs/honor?|||A blue made a post about it a few days ago, stating they may put into affect exp gain during bgs, but, they werent releasing anything as fact yet.
With all the "i hate twinks" qqs all over the forums I'll be surprised if they don't kill twinks, or give them their own bgs.|||Quote:

Link please. (Not saying I don't believe you. I'm just curious as to what was specifically said.)|||Quote:

I haven't heard about this but it sounds like a great idea. PVP is all I really want to do and this would allow me to do it 100% of the time without doing the same stupid quests or doing the same stupid instances.
I don't hate twinks but I don't like them either. to bliz if they do it|||IIRC, you used to be able to turn in marks for XP. If they want to award XP for BGs I think this would be the best way to go. It give you the option of lvling via PvP, but doesn't force you to do so.
