Instances...

Well well well, the achievements are just popping up.
Started doing a bit more instances and thus started leveling up my gear quite decently as well as made lost more XP.

Tuesday I hit Deadmines with a level 80 and a level 20 and it went quick, picking up a lot of good items and making some copper from fallen enemies.
Tried it again directly afterwards with a full group featuring a level 24, me (21 at that stage), 17,16 (x2). This was hard as our tank was brilliant but a level 23 Druid and the other guys didnt know what their roles were thus the beginning was a bit sketchy with level 16's aggro'ing everything in site and getting the group killed numerous times. After about 35-45 min worth of play the level 17 druid left and it started going smoother. The level 16's stayed back and healed (Priest and Paladin) and myself and 23 Druid got to kicking some arse.

Was good and more items were had (Blue's and Greens)

So last night I get invited by the 23 Druid from the night before to do Gnomeregan (an instance in Dun Morogh (close to Ironforge) but he didnt pitch till late due to other party member being tardy. So i found a level 75 mage which agreed to take me through (even though I was too low level at 22).
We were joined by a level 28 hunter and his friendly Raptor pet and went off into the wild dark dungeon.
Needless to say, its HUGE and thus we got lost a few times, but using my skills as a navigator we made it to all the bosses and thus also got the Achievement and some great items.

Tips to newbies of instances:
  • If you low level, stay back (even if you are a paladin and want to tank, you cant if your level is too low)
  • Rolling Need/Greed: If you dont need it, pass. If you want it but its not a neccesity the roll greed. And if you the only i.e. Mage in the group using cloth and a cloth item comes up then roll need. Then only!
  • Dont spend too much time looting, you hold everyone back if you in a high level group. Just love the free XP your getting.
  • Try to assist if your shots keep missing. Heal, Buff and make sure your not getting flanked
