Colors ( COLO123 )

Understand the color scale for skills, items, and quests in World of Warcraft: Midnight, from gray to orange.

Color Scale:

• Gray: Generally means easy, yields no skillup points, offers minimal experience, or items can be sold for silver.
• White: Normal item quality.
• Green: Should be your target for most items, offering better stats and buffs. For skills, it means easy and rarely grants skillup points. For quests, it means the level is almost too high but worth clearing.
• Yellow: For skills, offers a 60% chance to skillup. For quests, you can likely do it solo and get proper experience. For enemies, it means standard experience.
• Orange: For skills, always grants a skillup. For items, these are ultra-rare, end-game items.
• Red: For quests, you should not do them, but completing them gives more EXP than normal. For enemies, yields more experience than standard.
• Blue: The next tier of items, hard to come by, found at the auction house, as quest rewards, or rare drops.
• Purple: Super hard to find items, often obtained in end-game content or as rewards for battleground success at level 60.
• Skull and ?? (Enemies): Likely require a raid or are not killable through normal means.

Skill Specifics:

• Skills operate on a gray, green, yellow, orange scale.
• Skills usually work in 5's or 10's, requiring that many skill points to progress.
• Weapon skills and lockpicking maxes only move up by five as you level.
• Gray skills can still be useful beyond skilling up.

Item Specifics:

• Items use gray, white, green, blue, purple, and orange.
• Gray items can be sold for at least a couple of flights worth of silver at higher levels.
• Blue items can be obtained at the auction house, as rewards for big quests, or very rarely as drops.
• At level 60, you can visit reward houses after hitting battlegrounds to buy epic mounts; this is separate from zone quartermasters.

Quest Specifics:

• Quests use a gray, green, yellow, and red scale.
• Gray quests give only a fraction of experience.
• Green quests have limited time before your level is too high.
• Yellow quests can likely be done solo for proper experience.
• Red quests give more EXP than normal but are not recommended.

Enemy Specifics:

• Enemies have gray, green, yellow, red, skull, and ?? levels.
• Gray enemies yield no EXP.
• Green enemies yield a little EXP.
• Yellow enemies yield standard EXP.
• Red enemies yield more EXP.
