Building ur Twink

Learn how to build your twink character in World of Warcraft, covering professions, gear acquisition, enchanting, and PvP vendors for optimal performance.

Every class can be twinked. From my experience it's the healers, druids, rogues, and paladins that can have the greatest impact on a fight. Hunters are the easiest twinks, but please try to be more creative than that...

You really only need the gathering professions or engineering, depending on the desired level. All of the gathering professions give a nice bonus: Herbs - self heal, Mine - stamina boost, Skin - critical bonus. Of course since you must level to advance your professions, you are limited in how much these can help you. And 90% of the good PvP players use engineering, so take that as it is; it's also the most expensive profession because you won't earn back quite as much money as with enchanting.

Once you reach your desired level the only thing left is gear. A nice idea is to consult fellow twinks of your level, you should see them from your server if you keep playing a lot, or ask if there are any in chat. Not all twink gear is at the 9 level, some may be as low as in the 7 spot. You can also search for quests rewards you could solo where you don't earn a ton of XP.

Aside from raid gear, which would probably require a whole raid meant to help you in your twinking efforts (raids would start with the 50 bracket and up), the only other form of gear is dungeon drops and rewards. The art of dungeon runs for twinks is to go in naked, bring a high level that can revive, and die a lot until you reach the desired boss; you don't release your soul in death of course.

Enchanting your gear is less tricky that it was before. Before a recent patch there were a lot of good enchants for twinks, but now almost all of them have been wiped. You are left with just a select number of enchants for your gear, and make sure you get them.

Don't forget to consult which sets of cards net good rewards - basically you'll either need to be a scribe or buy them, just make sure they are for your level.

Finally, there are PvP vendors who sell blue gear in exchange for your marks of honor from the battleground of choice. Just find the quartermaster for the BG in which you've earned multiples of 20 marks, and you can get good gear from all of them if you play all the available BGs.
