PTR: The premade Warrior, Thistleorc
November 18, 2009 § 2 Comments
Ok, I know I shouldn’t be that surprised. I mean, the whole idea behind a pre-made character is so that you can jump right into the end game raiding world. But holy freaking crap man. It’s just a little jarring to log into a character that automatically has 5k gold, maxed enchanting/jewel crafting, 3 full sets of epic gear, enchanting and jewelcrafting supplies out the yin-yang and dual spec ready to go. My own character isn’t even close to being this decked out and he’s been around for years. So…it was a little weird.
And apparently there’s someone in trade who doesn’t quite understand the purpose of pre-mades.
So, how’s everyone enjoying the free epics that I had to work my ass off for in live?
Um…really? Clearly you missed the point. This comment (or something similar) was made probably once every 10 minutes.
In addition to all the gear and supplies, all my weapon skills are maxed out as well as riding and first aid (no cooking? sad). I’m also Exalted with all Horde Factions, the Horde Expedition, the Warsong offensive, and the Northrend factions you can champion. I’m also revered with the entire Steamwheedle Cartel. This of course gave me a number of achievements so I’m rockin’ the “Ambassador” title. I’ve also apparently been everywhere already, have all flight paths and have the explorers achievement/tabbard (which I’m wearing). It’s very interesting.
One of the things I’m looking forward to is seeing if I can get myself properly gemmed/enchanted/talented on my one without looking up any theory crafting sites. Should be interesting.
*Edit: It’s a little weird though that I get all this premade stuff, but no glyphs. Not that I’m complaining, I just think it’s interesting.
So, because I’m sure there are plenty of you out there who haven’t ever tried the Public Test Realms, and haven’t made an insta-80, I’ve decided to include a full list of what was included after the break. Because I find it interesting, so I imagine at least one of you does too:

Mammoth Cutters (1000 per stack) x1 stack
*Also included in the bank was “Mixture of Stoneblood” x10 and “Mixture of Endless Rage” x10. Each of these mixtures creates two flasks of the same name. So effectively I was given an extra stack of each flask.

The Inscription HQ in Dalaran should be populated with glyph vendors for every class. Sometimes it’s not, though, and sometimes it is, but they’re standing inside walls or other NPCs. Such is life, eh?
Since the glyphs effectively cost nothing and your pockets are effectively bottomless, buy a few stacks and swap them out on the go to see if you find something you like.
I finally did locate them in Dalaran. I think my problem was there was too much lag for the NPCs to actually load so I couldn’t see them.
I had the same thought as you though–buy a bunch of different glyphs and swap them around to see what comes of it.
