Gratz =)



To do Kara, you must be attuned to it. If you go at the entrance of Karazhan, there's a guy with a quest for you, do that chain and you'll be attuned. This chain quest requires you to do Shadow Lab, Slave Pen (or UB can't remember), Old hillsbrad and Black Morass.

The rep in Kara is Violet Eye, you'll get the rep while running Kara, there's nothing you can do before that.



<--- Left hand menu, there's a Reputation tab... use it, looks at the loot and choose whatever you wish. You can also use Atlas Loot and look at the reputation loots...



Not true. You can do Skyguard (or whatever they are called) reputation without epic flying mount. The guy beside the fligh master in Shat has a quest that send you there. It's in Terokar, in South east corner in the mountain. You have to have your normal flying at least to go there.

The Shata'ri (spelling) is another chain quest that gives you access to other reps withtout epic flying mount (I think, never finished that chain quest hehe)

For the Netherwing dailies, you do need your epic flying to build rep higher than neutral. But before that, you can do the chain quest to go to neutral (start in near the crystals, not too far from the Scryer flight path in Shadowmoon).



Finish all quests you have in all the zones will give you money instead of experience (obviously). Do all the quests you can, pretty easy money... plus the dailies it should help you some!



It's one thing that will make you some money of course.. getting bored, do some quests.. grind some.. run some instance for rep building, loots..

Before heading to Kara, make sure your gear is good, some quest greens may not be the best gear available =)

Karazhan attunement has a couple of quests in front of Kara, then trips to Shadow Labyrinth, Steam Vaults, Arcatraz, and Black Morass (in that order, though SV/Arc are simultaneous).

I find I'm terrible at recommending gear as I instinctively compare to my own, even though that's not what you're looking for. I'll point you towards http://www.gurgleblaster.net/emmerald/Bear_Mitigation/Head.html as it ranks things quite well. You should shoot for at least 415 defense (not rating) before heading into Kara as that will eliminate critical hits. Also rings with armor, though rare, will go a long way in improving your gear, as they tend to have defense or resilience as well.

Faction-wise I'd look towards the Earthwarden from Cenarion Enclave exalted. That will last you a long time.

All that, plus some better gloves, such as http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30943 or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27531.

Agreed with RareBeast. With those, you should be able to tank the first few bosses in Kara. As long as you have enough defense, I'd stack stamina gems in for now.

For rings, an easy one to get drops off the first boss in Old Hillsbrad. And if you are determined, shoot for exalted with Cenarion Expedition for the Earthwarden. I've only recently replaced it in SSC, so it lasts a LONG time.
