The Problems of a Solo Hunter in Classic WOW

The Solo MMO Player says that hunters and their pets have a lot of moving parts in Classic WOW.  Petopia explains it best.  This page is particularly helpful as it explains how to tame wild pets, learn their abilities and transfer those to other pets.

Basically you have to tame a pet that is your level or lower, then feed and level it.  You have to train it in the abilities you've chosen by spending training points, and those abilities must be leveled in rank as your pet levels.  Fortunately you can only have three pets in Classic or you would lose your mind trying to keep it all straight.  Follow the links in Petopia above to help you figure this all out.

WOWhead also has charts that tell you what your pet will eat, and organizes pets by whether they are better at offense or defense or whether they do ok in both.

Icy Veins has a great chart that compares DPS among the various pet types.

Good luck and happy hunting!

P.S.  If you are an experienced hunter, these BBB articles are for you.

The Problems of a Solo Rogue in Classic WOW

To get poison capability on your blades during a quest as a level 20 rogue you have to acquire lock picking in another quest as a rogue first.  The practice boxes inside the lumber mill you have to open to gain lock picking have a rare level 23 elite spider camping them, so you will have to level beyond level 20 to kill the spider.  This is a small area with two-three other spiders and some of the small fire-spitting dragons roaming around outside the mill, and a solo player will have to worry about the elite spider re-pawning.  Perhaps some wiser and better player can compensate for these issues as a solo Level 20 rogue, but if you are a regular player like the Solo MMO Player, don't listen to what WOWhead says about the practice boxes quest.

Actually, WOWhead's information is becoming similar to that of a travel guide writing about Thailand who has never set foot there.

I have to say that some older WOWhead information seems good.

For now Warcraft Tavern seems to have the best information, but the quality level of game info has dropped significantly across the board in the last five years.
