Some help for a noob

[Ashock]

Welcome to Stormrage! Have you gotten bags yet? I know I (as well as many other Lurkers) have a stash of bags sitting in the bank that we no longer use and would be more than happy to hand them out to someone who could use them. If you don't have any yet, send me an in-game mail to 'Malody' and I'll hook you up.

A note about the Stormrage economy: Stormrage was one of the servers up on opening day, so it's pretty established. Auction House prices are inflated, which at first glance makes it look impossible to afford some of the nicer items. In reality, this works in your favor- sell anything/everything you're not going to use on the AH instead of to a vendor and you will soon have a very nice wad of cash. Low-level skinning products tend to not sell so well due to fairly low demand, but if you were to pick up another gathering profession like Herbalism or Mining and sell all the results on the AH, you will do quite well. Search for the item you're selling before posting it, just to get an idea for what other people are selling things for. No sense undercutting by 50% when you can undercut by 5% and still sell the item. :) 

Playing around with the auction house is one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game for me. It's like eBay but without the real-world financial consequences. :)  There is now an AH in every major city (Stormwind, Ironforge, & Darnassus), which makes things much easier- before the latest patch, there was only one in Ironforge.  To save even more time, many people create a level 1 alt, park him next to an AH, and just mail him stuff to sell. That way there's no need to run back to a major city to sell stuff- the AH is as close as your nearest mailbox.

Thanks for the additional info. As far as bags, I've actually gotten lucky and found 2 6 space bags before hitting lvl 5, so I'm ok. Will keep everyone posted.

I'll be back with additional questions.

Oh yeh, here's one. Is there a central location for the main quests or is it basically just run around and pick up quests (even main quests)?
