A Guide for the New Level 80

Gevlon discovered a new guild member hadn't a clue about how to play his new Level 80 character, so he wrote a general guide.  Very helpful information from the Greedy Goblin!  I'd ignore the paying gold for helpful advice, though.  Goblins think like that but why pay when you can research things on this site (and others) for free?  Google is your friend, goblins are not.

Raiding Old Instances (Mostly Spoiler Free)

Hugh at the Pot describes his guild's experiences running old content cold in ten-mans.  He is having a blast and the experience has inspired him to write a list of things you absolutely need to know that doesn't reveal so much that there is no fun challenge.

Level 80 Mage Basics

A bit about how a mage works at level 80, with recommended enchants, heirlooms, etc.  This article is notable for a paragraph or two with tips for solo mages.  I should point out the author plays a Holy Paladin mostly, although he runs alts.
