Newcomers to World of Warcraft make predictable errors that can quickly result in colorful or just blunt insults from more experienced players who get annoyed by questions they consider stupid. What a bunch of cranks.

Still, no one likes to be bitten, so here are five tips to keep you out of harm’s way while you’re learning the ropes.

1) Check your Quest journal every day (the ‘L’ key on your keyboard opens it up) to find basic information about how to complete your quest, including directions to major cities.

2) When in doubt, ask the City Guards for directions, not other players.

3) Be aware that every trade ha a gathering skill and a crafting skill, and you can only have two, so be sure each has its complement.

4) Don’t forget that the Number lock key is your auto-run.

5) Control your WoW pets and make sure you don’t keep them set to “aggressive,” a sure fire way to annoy more experience players.
