I recently won a Burning Crusade Beta Key and have just begun messing around in the new areas of Azeroth (my main, sadly, has yet to transfer over.) Elizabeth Harper and Paul Sherrard are also participating in the beta. I am planning on doing pictorial guides for levels 1-20 for a draenei shaman and a blood elf paladin. My question to you, the readers is: what else do you want to know about the Burning Crusade? Are you interested in jewelcrafting? The new PVP arenas? How fast the quest rewards will outstrip epics?
Post your questions/ideas here. Hopefully, all our mains will transfer over soon, and we'll be able to step into Outland as a blog!

Write a good review and critics about the new WorldPvP in the Burning Crusade. :-) And personally I'd rather skip most other things, I don't want to read too much spoilers.

I'm interested in jewelcrafting-- specifically how one will be able to make money using it.

New factions, I've seen guides but few showed just what they look like in general. I wanna see more spore people.

Here's one - my friend and I were questing in EPL, and spotted the road north to the Blood Elf territories. We wanted to investigate so we started following it - and the road ran smack through an area of lvl 60 mobs (we're still at 55/56). So my question is - how the heck do the Blood Elves get out of their starting territory?

halaa is just so damn much fun, i stoped going there after one day because i knew i was gonna be there all the time when BC goes live. gotta save myself some stuff!
have fun with the dreanei starting area. it might be a bit chaotic when it goes live (rep farmers galore!), but personally i thought the dreanei starting area was the bbest of any races (level 10 elekk mount ftw! belf starting area is a close second, btw.)

#5, If I remember correctly, there's actually a portal in Silvermoon (the Blood Elf capital) that teleports you to the Undercity I think.
Can someone confirm this? I remember reading that somewhere.

#5, 7:
There is a Translocation Orb (a red orb with three small golden statues circling it) that lets you teleport between Silvermoon and Undercity.
#3:
BE get +5 to all resistances, +15 to enchanting, Mana Tap (mana drain, gives a charge, stacks 3 times), Arcane TOrrent (silences enemies nearby for 2 seconds, can be used without Mana Tap, but for each charge you have you get some mana/energy back).
Draenei get +10 to SHadow Resistance, +15 to jewelcrafting, Heroic/Inspiring presence (+1% to hit aura for your group, spells or melee depending on class [casters+shaman for spells, the others for melee, and maybe ranged too]), and Gift of the Naaru (HoT, scales with level, also get that symbol on their foreheads).

I'd like to hear more about gear progression. How quickly they replace epics, what the effort level is to get them, etc etc.

I'd like to know how hard it will be to obtain the new PvP weaponry and gear. As I'm grinding out the honor now to get the Grand Marshal's gear, I'm wondering how much better the new gear will be.
