WoW guide to WAR pt. 5


Other Warhammer Guides

Since launch we've worked hard to provide a ton of additional information to new Warhammer players, be they WoW veterans or new MMO player altogether. We felt these guides definitely deserved to be mentioned here, and links are included for your convenience:

Massively's Warhammer Online character creation guide
Are you going to be a burly Chaos berserker, giant axe in-hand? Are you going to use your faith as your shield, serving the church of Sigmar? Will you scuttle through the underbrush as a goblin, or stealth through the trees as an elf? We've got you covered, with out wrap up of every character creation aide we've ginned together in the past few months.
What makes Warhammer Online special, by Paul Barnett
In a conversation we had with the Creative Director via email Mr. Barnett offered up a few of his favorite things about Warhammer Online, things that he's noticed players have really responded to.
What's the difference between WAR and WoW?
Despite appearances of similarities, Warhammer Online and World of Warcraft are very different games. Looking at screenshots and videos will only tell you so much, because it's under the hood where you'll find the differences. That's where this handy guide comes into play. It's here to explain why certain quests in WAR are considered "public" and what "instances" are really all about. Unlike our previous guide, this is for the total MMO newb.

A fundamental guide to crafting in Warhammer Online
By now, you've probably spilled just enough blood in Warhammer Online to keep up that thirst for more, and crafting might be the last thing on your mind. Fortunately, the crafting system in WAR is effective and functional enough to interest the brightest of the Bright Wizards and easy enough that any Greenskin can get the hang of it very soon.
Our Guide to the Tome of Knowledge
This all-in-one in-game information tracker is so incredibly useful, every MMO on the market will implement a version of it in the next year or two. Yes, it's that good. Think of it as a lore wiki, quest tracker and creature database tailored to your individual character and available at any time while in the game.
Massively's WAR Camp: Tier 1 Scenario Guides
Each racial pairing has its own scenario, totalling three unique battlegrounds per tier. We've braved the frontlines in each of the Tier 1 scenarios in order to give you a preview of the landscape and objectives that are the backdrop for the RvR mayhem. First up, we'll take a look at the High Elf vs. Dark Elf pairing, then Dwarf vs. Greenskin, and finally Empire vs. Chaos.
Massively's WAR Camp: Tier 2 Scenario Guides
As in Tier 1, there is one scenario per racial pairing in Tier 2, totaling three new battlegrounds to visit. We've once again visited all three and documented our findings in gallery guides.

Conclusion

Despite all the differences, PvE players looking for endgame dungeons will find those to explore. Players looking to bust orc heads or split dwarven skulls will have plenty of fun doing so. There are lots in common between these two games, and as a World of Warcraft player you're going to find a lot to enjoy in Mythic's new creation. Go check out the Open Beta, explore the lore in the Tome of Knowledge, and enjoy Mythic's brand-new world! Waaagh!
