Alliance Guide - Gnome 1-13 - Steps 13-31 - Warlock

[devfrag]

I started my first Gnome Warlock and noticed a couple of things.

1. Step 13 turns in Tainted Memorandum and wants you to accept Beginnings, which isn't available. After making sure I hadn't missed a step I found this comment at wowhead.com. It's true, Summon Imp is now an item you can purchase from Alamar Grimm (v3.3.0). This eliminates the need for steps 21 (get 3 Feather Charms) and 31 (turn in Beginnings).
   
2. Step 26 dings level 5. The problem here is that the Frostmane Troll Whelps (step 20), Frostmane Novices (step 21 no longer needed), and Grik'nir the Cold (step 24) are all yellow mobs now (v3.3.0). Nobody in this area aggros now meaning you can beeline right to the targets and lose lots of XP that you previously would be required to get. When I completed step 25 I was ~47% of the way through level 4.

I know that at level 4 getting enough XP to ding level 5 is only a matter of minutes. But to those who've just dropped $50 on a guide that promises no grinding it might be frustrating.

Thanks

Have you updated to the latest guide release that just came out this past Friday? The starting zones have been re-written to take into account the change in mobs. As for the buying the imp, I'm not sure if that change was made also.

We are still testing the starter errors with every single class of every single race. Gnome is next on the list, so this should be fixed very soon. Thanks for reporting.
