You know how some folks seem to always have the answers to every WoW question that comes up? And are always recommending a blog post to you to read? It’s probably not just because they have an encyclopedic knowledge of the game. I’d bet they have a well-worn list of WoW bookmarks, like I do. The following are the five resources I can’t get by without:
- Wowhead.
I used to be a thottbot fan. But eventually, I became a WoWhead believer and fangirl. They have a frequently updated item database, great comments that inevitably address whatever annoyance sent you there. And they have some timely and informative blog posts too. - MMO Champion.
I remember WoW life before MMO Champion, but just barely. It’s truly become the Gawker and CNN rolled together of Azeroth. I go here to keep up on what the blues have to say, keep track of patch note changes, and to get a sneak peek at the bling future raids and instances will provide us. - WoWpedia/WoWiki.
This is where I go whenever I have a burning question about an NPC or bit of lore, or want to read a profession guide. And if I have extra time, I go on a bit of a click safari here, moving through related topics, learning more about Azeroth and its inhabitants. - Tankspot.
Despite its name and original purpose, Tankspot has become the defacto boss strategy resource for most folks I know, not ust for tanks. If I had a quarter for every time I’ve heard someone say “Did you watch the tankspot video” or “Go watch the tank spot video” I’d have laundry money for months! - The Daily Quest.
This occasional column on WoW Insider rocks for drawing attention to thought provoking (or just plain fun) posts throughout the greater blogosphere. There are days when I really need a good WoW read. And this is where I always look first.
