So, I posted in haste a couple weeks ago that the 3.03 patch was coming. Missed it by a couple weeks. Looks like it’s almost a guarantee that 3.03 hits today. What’s that mean for twinks?
- I am pretty sure it will fix a few things, mainly the Mining 70 Stam bug. While I have toons with this bug, I am happy to see it get fixed.
- Opens the gathering professions back up. No more cap, again. I kinda wish they just rolled us back to 150 instead of making it where you will have to get gathering skills up to be competitive. I did enjoy being one of the few with the upper tier benefits, but it was kinda OP.
- Lots of Glyph issues, but I don’t think any affect the average twink
Anyhow, soon… soon… We shall see!

The twisted part of me loves that the truly dedicated twinks will need to lvl 1 or 2 gathering profs to 375 to be uber. Here is how I view some of the outlandish things we do to twink:
Fishing gear item: 8-10 hrs each, avg
Furbolg Med Pouch: 4-5 hrs
AGM (without guild help): 12 hrs avg
Lvling Mining to 375: 40 hrs
Lvling Herbs to 375: 60 hrs
So yes, dedication will be required more than ever before now. But if you are reading this, you’re already more dedicated than 99% of twinks.
Tabards required about the same time as mining and ppl did tht for what? a different look
“Fishing gear item: 8-10 hrs each, avg”
I WISH! Not the same for everyone, and not nearly that little time for me, and still i’m left with bags full of Dezian Queenfishes.
wtf are you getting 40hrs to get to 375 mining, i got to 300 in a few hours. Skinning is even easier, you can get to 300 in stv. However i can see herbalism being the hardest because theres no smelting your way up like you can with mining.
I should have 375mining, 375 skinning on my hunter soon.
Sorry, I did mining the old-fashioned way: by mining (before lvl 19 ofc). If you smelt your way up, you need a fair bit of cash (tho you can resell the bars to get some/all of it back). But you can smelt to 280 or so before you have to leave the city.
Mining is currently bugged: my 225 miner has 700 +health instead of the +70 health he should have. I expect this will be fixed soon.
Okay I have the same thing on my 39.
My health is 3,256 and that was a jump from 2,606 when I leveled mining past 225 and stopped at 290.
Are you telling me if I go from 290-300 that bug will reset? Because I’m floored that this bug is still in place. It’s like 70 stam instead of 70 health.
with my 70 being a miner/herber prior to this patch i had bank storage alts holding lots of ore. this ore was obtained passively as i went around, quested and helped others.
the day i found out about this i was able to take my twink player from 1 to 225 just on smelting ore. 225 has the bug that gives 700hp instead of 70.
fishing gear, was able to fish in STV at 150 fishing, 100 lure…caught hat fish and +5 line fish on first day….skipped some sundays, on 7th sunday after intial start of fishing for gear got boots.
skinning went from 1 to 375 in 4 hours, don’t have wotlk
