Hey Guys,
A while since I posted something and I thought of this after I just started a new character botting. Here is how to prepare your character for botting:
-Get at least 4 10 slot bags, I generally start out with 4 14 slots that are not soulbound in case that character doesn't work out
-Learn level 1 skinning from a trainer in a main city so your skinning will keep on par with the mobs you are killing so you don't have to go back and kill grey mobs to get up skinning. Skinning is great for money making in the higher levels but can still turn over a nice profit no matter the level.
-I usually level up to level 6 by hand to get the moves needed, it takes about as long as setting up a level 1 to use a bot
-Deposit around 10 gold on this new character, it will help in gearing up and training, starting a character with no funds is difficult
-Try and stack some stamina gear for the first 10 levels, I always find gliding in beginning zone gear doesn't work out very well once your level 14
-If I am gliding which I am a lot of the time I look on the Glider forums for threads about each class and leveling specs to accompany them. (Hint Picotto has a very nice alternative mage gliding guide )
-I try to get a leveling pack, Picottos are good if you don't need repair, I go to school so I generally leave it running AFK a lot hence I use profilepacks.com, I can highly recommend those.
For many people this might be common sense, usually for those who have botted before. However, this guide is useful for those who are new to botting and need to learn how to create a new character.
