You've Reached Level 60 In World of Warcraft - Now What?

wow


It's an old question for those who have reached the top of their game, whether it's World of Warcraft or tennis or something else altogether: "Where do you go from up?"

In WoW, those of you who reach the sixtieth level actually have several options during the endgame. PvP and raids are the usual places to start.  For the uninitiated, "PvP" refers to "Player vs. Player" - individual duels between yourself and another player or a "non-player character" (NPC). These contests, governed by an elaborate set of special rules, are not for everyone and definitely not for the novice. Beginners will consistently get their arses kicked and are likely to get frustrated.

As far as "raiding" goes, this is pretty much what you think it is: a chance to invade an area or a territory and take on some monster. Again, this is usually for advanced players. However, raids are not generally conducted by individuals (with good reason). It's a nice opportunity to play in a "team" setting, and acquire loot - which, by the time you get to level 60, is really what it's all about.

Since your character has probably acquired and honed all the skills available to him or her, the endgame in WoW focuses on acquiring the loot that will increase their ability. "Epic" armor and "epic" weapons will enable you to defeat a wide range of enemies, whether PC or NPC. It's true that some NPCs are well-nigh invincible, but if you've acquired enough "loot"  consisting of high-end gear, you'll have a sporting chance - and after all, doesn't  part of the thrill of the game lie in the possibility of defeat? While society in general is fixated on "winning," it's a good bet that if you were invincible, even World of Warcraft would get pretty dull in short order.

I am invicible!! :P

Where do you go? You go PVP! There is nothing like an intelligent sentient opponent as an adversary. Get into it early. Getting your "arse" kicked in the begining. Duel attack higher level enemy, die over and over. Each time you do you'll get better.

Eventually you'll become nigh invicible (Like the Tick is nigh invulernable)

End-game instances are ok but the battlegrounds are the bomb!

i think "licked" was surrposed to be "kicked". it sounds sort gross for "Beginners will consistently get their arses licked". but thats just me =)
