15 Minutes Of USELESS Vanilla WoW Information | Classic WoW

Vanilla World of Warcraft was a very different time when it came to WoW as a game. There would be developers just putting in stuff they thought was cool, unfinished projects, and hidden secrets which can easily be overlooked.

i know its dumb but i always liked how in classic/vanilla you can get wool by skinning a sheep sometimes.

[MuppetLord]

Original 2004 wow is something that I would LOVE to completely forget & experience completely fresh again, best gaming memories.

[AIRDRAC]

A great piece of lore, is that you can find the grave of Invincible (Arthas' horse) near Balnir Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, it was added in patch 3.0.2 with the grave open and empty, because Arthas resurrected it!

In Feralas, the Alliance quest to kill naga in the cave of Isle of Dread has a secret. At the end of the cave, the pool of water has an underground route to another back part only (accessible via swimming) which has a special area with more naga. Sometimes, an elite rare will spawn back there on a platform.

Strat and Scholo were 10 man to start with and UBRS was 15 man.

[eadamic]

Some things that I remember:

12:00 Very early on (i.e. late 2004, maybe up to early 2005) you could take 10 people in a raid into some of these instances and with some quests you could simply leave the raid group to loot a quest item. I remember doing this with a picture ("Of love and family"?) that was lootable inside Strat Live. That worked for a while. I seem to remember it being completely normal for a while to run Scholomance and Strat in 10-man raid groups.

14:05 There used to not even be battlemasters located in major cities. You actually had to go to the entrance to the battleground in the world (in Ashenvale or Alterac Mountains, for example) and talk to someone at the entrance to put yourself in the queue there. Sometimes the wait time could be 5-6 hours lol.

[Kenyt]

Back in Vanilla when people were bad at the game we used to run 10 man strat and scholo all the time. Doing 5 man was actually seen as a big deal.

[Sideshownicful]

The funny thing is, you found Lupos in Duskwood, where many of the mobs, who were undead, were shadow resistant. So you tested Lupos out as a pet and though his damage was terrible

[Blackread]

9:47 It's not Tirion that shows up to the fight, it's Bolvar Fordragon.

[shakeyownz]

The weapon skill/tradeskill system is entirely based off how Ultima Online’s skill system worked. If you use swords your sword skill increases and you could only have a total of like 700 points between all your skills, crafting included.

[KxanTheMonkey]

The path from hinterlands to scholo was great during classic phase 2, as many horde didn't know about it and it let us alliance get around that area without being camped to death like every other zone.

[Jokerman]

Back in 2005, it was absolutely common to do Strat and Scholo as a 10 man group - and it mostly was pure chaos... UBRS was a 15 man dungeon initially and got scaled down to a 10 man dungeon later in Vanilla. It was never intended to be done with 5 man.

[Max-ejoh]

Theres 2 or 3 graves near the entrance of the tin mine at Westfall, at night a white rare ghoul might spawn accompanied by its "relatives"

It's strange that these are quite specific graveyards since the others near Moonbrook are just normally placed graves, theres no other ones like these in the entire zone.

[shane]

I love the niche Vanilla facts/lore videos. I could listen to WillE talk about WoW all day.

[Dunified]

14:00 - for a patch or two(?), there wasn't even battle masters in major cities. You would have to go to Ashenvale/Barrens or Hillsbrad Foothills and run into the portal to join the queue. You could also only queue for one BG at a time. On my server there would usually only be one AV up because it was so bothersome to actually queue up for the BG, and you often had to wait for at least 2 hours (if you played alliance which was ~60% of the population).

I remember standing in the Alliance Warsong Gulch area in Ashenvale waiting along with many others for my WSG invites. When you returned from the bg, you'd converse with the other players how your WSG went. Nostalgic, but inconvenient as hell.

[vikingraider]

I remember doing "class groups" for Scholomance and Stratholm back in the day (on Earthen Ring server) - the party was made up of one of every class - which meant that anything that dropped would be potentially useful for just one character.

[wz]

lupos is an absolute monster, i got to experience it myself on a private server that did progressive patches. it got so bad that the alliance had a whole "lupos mafia" and controlled which hunters could tame it lmao, good times

[jgriff]

Vanilla wow was so special. Looking back there were lots of flaws. But in the moment it felt perfect.

[ricsouza]

these days I ran by accident by Zashi when exploring, found him pretty interesting thinking it would have a quest or something.

[DaSTA]

The footage of the Hunter shown at 5:43 doesn't even have Lupos, he has Echeyakee the white lion from Barrens... This is also evident by the Prowl ability on the pet cast bar, which wolves can't get in Classic.
