Twinks in the 19 and 29 bracket can train in First Aid up to 225. Thus only learning up to Mageweave Bandages.
With 225 first aid you can actually use Heavy Runecloth Bandage. You want to use the biggest bandages you can to get yourself back and ready to fight.
Any twink rogue worth their weight in enchants knows how to gouge and bandage themselves while the stun ticks. You will get 250 health back from each successful tick of the bandage. Trust me... this is a duel decider.
If you see someone using a bandage in battleground, interrupt the process. What is that QQ I hear... To far? I'm melee! /cry *smaks you upside the head* You don’t just equip those Throat Piercers for looks. Throwing weapons are meant to be thrown.
I will sometimes keep Runecloth Bandages around too. Since sometime I pick them up cheep off the AH when someone was leveling their own first aid. Good for when I know the next wave of Horde are coming. Or in a strange generous moment to give out in a battle.
With all the stuff I keep in my bags … uggg…. I ran out of food. But that is a whole different issue.

Twink Pants
WARNING: Leg armor kits are changing in the 3.1 patch to include a level requirement.
"Twink Pants – 5/5s for 19s, 9/9s for 29s, and 12/12s for 39s."
Whatca tanking about Aurum?
In my Twink Guild Bank post I used terminology that may not be common knowledge. If you don’t twink, then you would not be expected to know.
The 5/5s, 9/9s, and 12/12s stands for the MAX relative stat on bind on equip pants at that level.
A combination of Stamina with Agility/Intellect/Strength can make that Stockade drop be worth twenty times normal in the auction house. Just remember that spirit mail is worthless at 19 as it is at max level.
You need to watch the random enchants on the items closely. You will notice Scouting Trousers and Rigid Leggings both come with random enchants.
...of the Monkey +(4 - 5) Agility, +(4 - 5) Stamina
...of the Eagle +(4 - 5) Intellect, +(4 - 5) Stamina
So to maximize your stats (and gold) make sure the pants are 5/5s and not 5/4s. There can be four different pairs up in the auction house for 20 gold and not one of them have the 5/5 stats. To me 5/4s will not cut it for a top twink. I will not make fun of you but I will judge you. *grin*
This fuss is for BoE pants because anyone with a level 60 or higher can take those NOT ALREADY EQUIPPED pants and apply a leg armor. Most commonly for 19s and 29s is the Nethercleft Leg Armor. For those more adventurous is Nethercobra Leg Armor (but you are a glass cannon and shouldn’t touch my flags). Once the kit is applied to the pants they can be sent to the twink and THEN equipped.
Even if you are not twinking this is important to know. Because if you happen to come across a pair of Rigid Leggings of the Monkey with 5/5 stats on the Auction House for 70 silver… buy it out… and repost for 10-20 gold. Profit!

Twink Guild Banks
A while back I took some screenshots to share with you what a twink guild bank looks like. I have access to Farstriders Elite but I can also peek into We Kill People bank.
WKP concentrates on level 19 twinking. Farstriders Elite focuses on 19 and 29, soon after I took these shots we (we as in FE… cause that is who I am tyvm) opened up the fifth bank tab. This allowed us to split up the gear for 19s and 29s.
We Kill People's Guild Bank (guests should always go first):
Farstriders Elite Guild Bank:
So what is in all those bank slots:
Twink Pants – 5/5s for 19s, 9/9s for 29s, and 12/12s for 39s.
Armor – Bracers, Gloves, and Waist. Stats are more varied on these items.
Rumsey Rum Black Label - Barkeep Kelly in the Old Hillsbrad Foothills sells this 19 and 29 twink food buff.
Training Books - Expert First Aid - Under Wraps, Manual: Heavy Silk Bandage, Manual: Mageweave Bandage, and Expert Fishing - The Bass and You.
Enchanting Materials - Large Prismatic Shards, Large Brilliant Shards, Greater Eternal Essences, Illusion Dust, etc.
Weapons - Throat Piercers, Twisted Chanter's Staff, Gravestone Scepter, Staff of the Friar, etc.
Consumables – Heavy Runecloth Bandage, Minor Wizard Oil, Minor Mana Oil , Fish Oil (for Water Walking), healing potions, and mana potions.
Now that Rumsey Rum Black Label is available at a vendor it should always be on your twink. As you can see both guilds try to keep some gear in the bank. Twinking is expensive. That doesn’t mean you should get ripped off.
As for how much all this is worth? I did mention that FE opened up the fifth bank tab didn’t I. *grin*

Leveling that Alt
Have you noticed how much alt leveling there is going on? My guild has had 14 or more individuals online at once. Each of us was on an alt.
Husband took 11 months to level his rogue. He leveled all his professions as he leveled, including his fishing. When we started talking about him leveling himself another toon I wanted him to avoid this long journey to max level. I remembered Nibuca mentioning the addon TourGuide.
I got him to start using TourGuide. Off he went and is leveling very steadily.
The add-ons we are using for leveling are:
Tourguide - Lists and shows which quests to pick up and in what order for efficient travel.
LightHeaded - Mini wowhead ingame.
TomTom - Simple waypoint arrow.
For a new player I would never ever recommend a leveling guide. Depending on the player I may suggest lightheaded with tomtom after the first 20-25 levels. If this player was already alt-tab researching to find quest information I would highly recommend them.
One of my guildies checked out TourGuide after he kept hearing Husband say “But the guide says to go here.” He was skeptical about the addon. This was his sixth alt he was planning to level. But Husband was using it and they planned on leveling together. He downloaded it to see what Husband was referring too. He started a shammie and used it from level 1 and is now in the mid-50s. He stating to me after the first 30 levels that he will never level another alt without this addon.
Honestly, more you use it the more you trust the guide. We stopped to do Raene’s Cleansing to get the Dartol's Rod of Transformation. The guide had us open the Noggenfogger Elixir, so we can go back and get more. We also got the Sprite Darter Hatchling and Mechanical Chicken. So I have been having a lot of fun doing the selected quests.

A Twig and a Cat
I, Iuncusia, am coming along quite fine. I will be hitting my 60th season quite soon.When looking at weapon upgrades I was being really picky. I have been clinging to my Manual Crowd Pummeler for way longer then usefulness. Nothing came close until I found a Twig of the World Tree and enchanted it up nicely for some great kitty killing. The dripping blood is so nice it matches my claws after a good time.
I have been practicing kitty killing with the guidance of BBB. I even respec talents at 50 following BBB guide for leveling and talent points.
At level 42 I did finely get over to Darnassus to pick up my level 30 mount. I looked at an old tired grumpy spotted cat. Lelanai told me he was once a mount of a Night Elf huntard. I don’t know what that is, but apparently it is a terrible awful agonizing creature of deep oozing slime ... to top it off it is pink too. *shiver* Poor cat.
He didn’t want anything to do with me. So I picked him. I renamed him “Spot”. Spot wants to be left alone and I want to run alone. I keep telling him “We are almost done, and then I can dump you in a lake… I mean a meadow.”

ZA Imp Pull
I randomly go to Zul’Aman. I have been doing the imp pull to the eagle boss, Akil’zon.
At the bottom, right of the ramp, where the pond is, I use my macro:
/target Amani'shi Tempest
I send up Naltog, he climes up the hill, and firebolts the Tempest and transfers the agro to me. The Tempest and two casters all come chasing after me. This pull lets us do the gauntlet without getting all the birds on the ramp up.
Imps work really well for this, but that doesn’t mean hunters cannot do it. I mean of the three with me … one was survival and we had two cats with us. Lazy hunters.

Honor … No Touchy
It looks like they cannot make up their mind on the honor points. So now they will NOT be reset.
We had hoped that the introduction of some new Honor rewards in the upcoming patch would give players a great opportunity to spend any of their remaining Honor. However, many players would still be surprised by an Honor and token reset as it isn’t something we’ve done in the past. As such, we've decided to not reset Honor or tokens upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King. Players who save their Honor will be able to spend it on level 80 rewards, although those rewards will be significantly more expensive than their level 70 counterparts.I will not be responsible if they change their mind... yet again. To be on the safe side I would still go for items that you want prior to Wrath.
