Hello guise and gals :cool2:
If you plan on reading entire post, go grab a cup of coffee. This will be huge post.
INTRO WORD
I've fallen into twinking addiction in wotlk expansion after realizing you can lock your xp and wander around the world in your lowbie gear mocking 25lvls that think you are one-shot opportunity :biggrin:
After realizing you can lock your xp here on Kronos I had no doubt where I'll spend most of my time.
This server is my gaming dream come true. Vanilla twinks with locked xp :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: It simply doesn't get any better than that.
If you are reading this and you are not member of Kronos community, trust me man, you are missing out huge thing. Join us! Vanilla twinking is probably most balanced due to relation of talents and spells (no travel form for druids nor wolf for shamans). This server is best option if you are fan of twinking in general. Lock your xp and let the games begin!
PICKING YOUR RACE
Alliance:
Horde:
PICKING YOUR CLASS
Warrior - seriously underrated class which can obliterate you, if you get caught in hamstring without pvp trinket ready. Great burst damage, good for slowing flaggers cuz hamstring in this bracket has whole new meaning!
Paladin - ultimate faceroll class. able to survive what most classes wouldn't. High armor + self heals make this class great flag carrier.
Priest - if you can play this right... and I mean RIGHT as it should be played, you are pretty much outcome decider. BiS geared and enchanted priest is walking war machine in this bracket! Good dot dmg, absorb shield, heals, fear-alike cc on short cd... pfff whadaya want moar ?
Mage - fire mage or no mage at all. stack fiery wrath gear, get sp enchs where you can and do what you are made for - glass cannoning everything!
Warlock - everyone hates you. none likes you. you are annoying, you dot and run. you fear and dot again. your dots do sick dmg and you got very annoying bastard minion which you can sacrifice and get absorb shield. But your teammates will adore you!
Hunter - pew pew pew pew pew pew aaaanndd more pew pew pew aaaand everyone dead while not even getting near you. Ofc not literally like this, but hunters are ultimate balance keepers. Hunters are most played 19 characters for a reason. Easy to play, OP as fuk.
Rogues - if you ask me, most fun class to twink. Has no BiS weapon. All weapons you get as rog you can purposely enchant and use in particular situations. Can do insane burst damage, but when caught of guard it's easily kited by almost any class in game.
Druid - best variety of healing arsenal in bracket + great cc with roots. Hard to kill due to sick heals when geared properly and hard to catch due to great cc.
Shaman - one of those classes that can do basically anything. slow you down, do dmg, heal self and others... great addition to any team. If played smart it can really contribute to bg outcome massively.
GEARING UP
I'll take a slightly different approach to this section. Instead of listing gear for each class, I'll generalize a bit and divide it into two sections, caster and non-caster gear. I'll provide my personal thoughts on each item I feel like it needs some explanation.
Each section will get updates as I get to remember/find more useful items. Right now I'll list those which are most commonly used. Rings, trinkets and weapons will be listed in separate section.
Caster gear:

Tree Bark Jacket ( valued mostly for big mana pool it provides )

hand items:
Magefist Gloves ( best all-round stats for caster )

Cooking is worth to level up too. Provides nice buffs
First Aid is a pure MUST HAVE. You are not complete 19 character without 225 FA. Why? Click the link below.
For a second primary proffesion I tend to pick mining to supply my engineering.
"SECRETS" OF THE BRACKET
In this section I'll go over these tiny small world drops which are mostly ignore by players, and here they can actually make some difference in duel or bg outcome.
- Magic Dust
Many of you probably know about this but I gotta list it. 30 seconds sleep... do we need to speak anything else. Get healer to waste pvp trinket cd on something else and pop this up. Bye bye heals for 30 seconds!
- Large Rope Net
Most OP world drop in WoW ever made! Someone link me better one... Rogue sprints? Not anymore! Net him and send him back to graveyard!
- Magic Candle
If you are class without damage that leaves a dot on enemy this is your thing when fighting rogues!
If you sense rogue is gonna run and try to restealth pop this thing on him and you are safe from restealth for 4 more seconds. Weak damage but great tactical thingy.
- Explosive Rocket
If for some reason you are not engineer and you are on alliance, this rocket is could be handy for you. Easy to get cuz its reward from lvl 3 quest. Get it and mail it on your 19 char, it's not BoP. Usefull for discovering roges in wsg tunnels.
- Green Tea Leaf
Does NOT share cooldown with potions! This is 30hp more heal up if you chug it right before or after your potion. 30 hp actually means something in 19s.
- Venomhide Poison
If you can suffer one day and connect flight paths with your melee char from Ratchet to Marshal's Refuge, you will be greatly rewarded. This gold lasts 9h and does 15dmg per tick while stacking 3 times.
That's insane 45 dmg tick addition to your usual damage. This thing stacks on your weapon with your existing enchant so... imagine you got this on a Shadowfang which is enchanted with Fiery Weapon. I regret sometimes cuz I haven't rolled a paladin, rogue or warrior... and I regret it ONLY cuz of this posion.
It's not hard to stay alive in Un Goro, there is lots of passive mobs there. Hardest part is getting from Tanaris to Un Goro. But if you make it, you are blessed with this rarely seen thing in battlegrounds.
Yes... level 19 poison exists and you can get it :biggrin:
- Minor Wizard Oil
Pretty much self-explanatory. Yet, I don't remember seeing many casters with it.
- Heavy Sharpening Stone
Every melee must-have imo. In case you haven't made it to get poison which I mentioned above, at least you should get some of these in your bag to boost your damage.
- Thistle Tea
Why do rogues underestimate the power of this thing in 19s ?? Listen you freakz! Get agi packed set, stack that crit rate, get improved backstab and malice. Your backstab will have insane crit rate with such build.
Now make yourself some of these and open with ambush! If you get crit, and you probably will cuz of sick agi amount, your target will start fleeing. Backstab it! Now start sprinting cuz your don't want to loose your target. Drink thistle tea and backstab it again! In meanwhile you probably dealt at least 2 normal weapon hits and combined with ambush and 2 backstabs in short period of time... thats something barely anyone would survive. I used to down priests like that... very small number of them survived such burst.
- Rumsey Rum Black Label
Get fishing on 150. Buy Nightcrawlers and start fishing snapper, eel and blackmouth pools. Sometimes you can fish it up from Floating Wreckages too.
There are also weaker versions of this drink which give 10 and 5 stamina. Obtained from lower lvl pools in starting areas ( Westfall, Darkshore etc etc )
- Glowing Cat Figurine
Your completely legal combat pet! Yes, you have read that right. Not that hard to get, sad part is that it's unique making it one time use. But I'm definitely getting myself this one for the "WTF" effect in wsg :biggrin:
It has around 400 hp and does like 50-60 dmg to clothers, if I re-call correctly. Man... I gotta test it here...
- Feathered Arrow and Exploding Shot
9.5 damage ammo in lvl19 pvp. SICK. Get your guildmates to pick this quest chain in Desolace and buy ammo from them. Easy peasy to get and it comes in pack of 200.
I used to /who Desolace and whisper ppl to do that quest and buying it from them. Never went under 500 in my bags.
- Quivers
Thanks to Costner123 and Argathen for those, as I was unaware of quest level requirement for these.
Great stuff!
Alliance only:
Quiver of the Night Watch
Bandoller of the Night Watch
Horde only:
"coming soon"
That's it folks... I don't think I've missed much but I probably missed something.
I left out enchanting from guide to leave some space for individuality. It's pretty much simple to write it down and actually we all more-less know what enchants are best of for which slot.
If I get to remember more stuff I'll come back and edit the post.
For now that's it...
Hope you enjoyed it and mostly I hope it got you to start your own 19 toon.
For any further questions hit me up on my lv19 druid Tomerant or warlock Ifreet.
If you plan on reading entire post, go grab a cup of coffee. This will be huge post.
INTRO WORD
I've fallen into twinking addiction in wotlk expansion after realizing you can lock your xp and wander around the world in your lowbie gear mocking 25lvls that think you are one-shot opportunity :biggrin:
After realizing you can lock your xp here on Kronos I had no doubt where I'll spend most of my time.
This server is my gaming dream come true. Vanilla twinks with locked xp :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: It simply doesn't get any better than that.
If you are reading this and you are not member of Kronos community, trust me man, you are missing out huge thing. Join us! Vanilla twinking is probably most balanced due to relation of talents and spells (no travel form for druids nor wolf for shamans). This server is best option if you are fan of twinking in general. Lock your xp and let the games begin!
PICKING YOUR RACE
Alliance:
- Gnomes make best rogues in bracket.
- Gnomes also make good casters due to mana racial perk.
- Gnomes get +15 engineering, meaning they can reach 165 and craft jumper cables :biggrin:
- Human racial is very usefull for discovering horde rogues around you. Very useful if you are healer since lots of time you will find yourself chased by rogues.
- Dwarfs can remove bleeding or poisons.
- Night Elves... druids :biggrin:
Horde:
- Orcs can do more dmg with their racial ability
- Orcs are also more resistant to stun effects
- Tauren's racial is very usefull 2sec long stun. 2min cd
- Taurens also got more overall hp by 5%.
- Trolls can attack faster for short period of time. Great racial for rogues.
- Trolls regenerate hp and mana faster.
- Undead can escape fear, charm or sleep effects.
- Undead can canibalize dead body. Pretty much 2nd bandage.
PICKING YOUR CLASS
Warrior - seriously underrated class which can obliterate you, if you get caught in hamstring without pvp trinket ready. Great burst damage, good for slowing flaggers cuz hamstring in this bracket has whole new meaning!
Paladin - ultimate faceroll class. able to survive what most classes wouldn't. High armor + self heals make this class great flag carrier.
Priest - if you can play this right... and I mean RIGHT as it should be played, you are pretty much outcome decider. BiS geared and enchanted priest is walking war machine in this bracket! Good dot dmg, absorb shield, heals, fear-alike cc on short cd... pfff whadaya want moar ?
Mage - fire mage or no mage at all. stack fiery wrath gear, get sp enchs where you can and do what you are made for - glass cannoning everything!
Warlock - everyone hates you. none likes you. you are annoying, you dot and run. you fear and dot again. your dots do sick dmg and you got very annoying bastard minion which you can sacrifice and get absorb shield. But your teammates will adore you!
Hunter - pew pew pew pew pew pew aaaanndd more pew pew pew aaaand everyone dead while not even getting near you. Ofc not literally like this, but hunters are ultimate balance keepers. Hunters are most played 19 characters for a reason. Easy to play, OP as fuk.
Rogues - if you ask me, most fun class to twink. Has no BiS weapon. All weapons you get as rog you can purposely enchant and use in particular situations. Can do insane burst damage, but when caught of guard it's easily kited by almost any class in game.

Every melee must-have imo. In case you haven't made it to get poison which I mentioned above, at least you should get some of these in your bag to boost your damage.
- Thistle Tea
Why do rogues underestimate the power of this thing in 19s ?? Listen you freakz! Get agi packed set, stack that crit rate, get improved backstab and malice. Your backstab will have insane crit rate with such build.
Now make yourself some of these and open with ambush! If you get crit, and you probably will cuz of sick agi amount, your target will start fleeing. Backstab it! Now start sprinting cuz your don't want to loose your target. Drink thistle tea and backstab it again! In meanwhile you probably dealt at least 2 normal weapon hits and combined with ambush and 2 backstabs in short period of time... thats something barely anyone would survive. I used to down priests like that... very small number of them survived such burst.
- Rumsey Rum Black Label
Get fishing on 150. Buy Nightcrawlers and start fishing snapper, eel and blackmouth pools. Sometimes you can fish it up from Floating Wreckages too.
There are also weaker versions of this drink which give 10 and 5 stamina. Obtained from lower lvl pools in starting areas ( Westfall, Darkshore etc etc )
- Glowing Cat Figurine
Your completely legal combat pet! Yes, you have read that right. Not that hard to get, sad part is that it's unique making it one time use. But I'm definitely getting myself this one for the "WTF" effect in wsg :biggrin:
It has around 400 hp and does like 50-60 dmg to clothers, if I re-call correctly. Man... I gotta test it here...
- Feathered Arrow and Exploding Shot
9.5 damage ammo in lvl19 pvp. SICK. Get your guildmates to pick this quest chain in Desolace and buy ammo from them. Easy peasy to get and it comes in pack of 200.
I used to /who Desolace and whisper ppl to do that quest and buying it from them. Never went under 500 in my bags.
- Quivers
Thanks to Costner123 and Argathen for those, as I was unaware of quest level requirement for these.
Great stuff!
Alliance only:
Quiver of the Night Watch
Bandoller of the Night Watch
Horde only:
"coming soon"
That's it folks... I don't think I've missed much but I probably missed something.
I left out enchanting from guide to leave some space for individuality. It's pretty much simple to write it down and actually we all more-less know what enchants are best of for which slot.
If I get to remember more stuff I'll come back and edit the post.
For now that's it...
Hope you enjoyed it and mostly I hope it got you to start your own 19 toon.
For any further questions hit me up on my lv19 druid Tomerant or warlock Ifreet.

love that you include the venomhide poison, which so many people are not using. Btw Venomhide poison wont work with bear form attacks so not really worth getting for druids
