What is your niche? Are you the master of profits, a provider, or someone who brings the goods that no one else can? Today I'll be talking about how we practice our professions, and the roles and styles that we can adopt to enrich our in-game professional experiences. The Farmer This role doesn't have to be as boring as it sounds, and no, I'm not about to give you tips about how to get through it. Everyone knows that cranking up the music helps the grind, but why does it have to be a grind? When people hear the word "farming" in relation to the game, most automatically cringe. Sure, the odd session can be quiet and therapeutic, almost meditative, but when we feel forced to do it, that element leeches right out. Some players, on the other hand, have the market cornered on pokgdlcvdjfotwso farming. They know that grinding is not necessarily the only way to do it. Here are some ideas to add some variety: Many players park an alt that they don't play much in a choice wow power leveling wow gold aion gold wow power leveling Last pokgdlcvdjfotwsu time on Addon Spotlight, we looked at Dominos, my current favorite bar mod for all my spells and abilities. Of course, like any good raider, I also have bar spots for my various consumables: bandages, potions, elixirs, buff food, and so forth. But it's a pain to manually reconfigure all that every time I get a new item. Fortunately, I don't have to: AutoBar does it for me, and means I never have to hunt in my bags for a scroll or a quest item. wow gold In short, AutoBar adds one or more bars to your screen, each full of buttons for various categories. For instance, the default "main" bar has slots for: Hearthstone (and related abilities, like Death Gate or Scroll of Recall) Health potions Mana potions Buff foods Mage foods Elixirs (battle and guardian) Mounts Tradeskills Quest items Trinkets And probably some more things that I'm not remembering right now. AB shows the most recent item you've clicked for each category (in some cases) or the best item (in others), and other options in the category appear on mouse-over. wow power leveling That's just the beginning, though. The bars are incredibly customizable, allowing you to move items between categories, create new buttons, set a preferred order, and so forth. You can even set up whole new bars if you want. You can bind keys to all the buttons (in the screenshot at top I have shift-B bound to bandage). AutoBar is also what actually provides the functionality I mistakenly attributed to Dominos to bind keys directly to spells in your spellbook, through a library it embeds. aion gold There are also class bars set up; for instance, for my priest (at right), there are buttons for buffs, the class pet, shield, and a button labeled "ER" which I assume is meant to be an "oh no" button; it maps to PW:Shield on my priest and Vanish on my rogue. I don't tend to use the class bars because I have my skills bound how I like them already, but I'm sure they're useful for some people. And if not, it's easy enough to turn off. location. The arena in Dire Maul, anyone? Just log on periodically to see if that rare mob you've been seeking has popped yet. Feel like being a big shot? Pick a dungeon you'd like to try soloing. By the end of it, you'll have a stack of disenchantables (or materials, if you can "de" yourself), blues, cloth, money, potions, and a variety of other items to throw into the guild bank. Think rare, semi-rare, or novelty. Go hunt a vanity pet, pick up some Noggenfogger's Elixir, gather materials to hand out Bad Clams or Delicious Chocolate Cake. Farm up a load of alcohol, make some fireworks, or snag a Piccolo. Is there some ingredient that your guild needs, but so far no one has taken the initiative to provide? Maybe no one is out hunting Mammoths, so Great Feasts are in short supply. Perhaps your tanks always forget to bring bandages, but you tend to turn up cloth when you're out and about. The Provider This role overlaps with The Farmer in many ways. You enjoy popping up with the things that people need. You feel good inside when you randomly appear with a few stacks of Frostweave Cloth to hand over to a starving Tailor. You love having people refer others to you. "Does anyone have any Scarlet Rubies?" "No, I used all mine. Whisper Jane, she'll likely have a bunch, because she's the biggest, badassiest crafter in all the land!" Here are some ideas: You might be best served to take gathering professions rather than crafting. That way, all of your goods are surplus, and you can sell what you need to, and shower the rest down upon your grateful guildmates. No matter what professions you have taken, cloth, healing and mana potions, and miscellaneous reagents such as Northsea Pearls or animal meat, are all at your fingertips. Hunting down Eternals could take you all over Northrend. If you are a crafter, then craft up a storm! Make up a few stacks of kits, threads, popular cut gems, sought-after enchants on convenient scrolls, key buff foods, repair bots, and the like. Find out what your guild consumes and be there when they run low. Come to dungeons and raids prepared. Bring enchanting materials, herbs, gems, and everything anyone might want, either to modify newly acquired gear, or to buff themselves up for a tough fight. The City Merchant Everyone knows their local merchant. Whether the character is found advertising on Trade Channel or working the Auction House, people will get to know you. If you're good at it, you'll make a pile of money and become a "household name." Whether you earn a good reputation or not is up to you. Rather than simply handing over your goods, you enjoy diving into the marketplace. Sure, you might offer good deals to friends and guildmates, but you love to advertise and haggle. You like talking to people, and you are drawn to the thrill of the unknown. Who will you meet in Trade today, and what sorts of conversations will you have? Will you catch a trolling stalker, or make a new acquaintance?
