I've just bot my BE pally to level 15, and am currently hand-doing a class quest to get the Redemption quest, and just realized... All my gears are crap. They're all white items w/ no beneficial things at all. What do you guys do regarding gear? Buy them from AH every 10 levels or so?
It's usually the toughest with the first character, since gold is the most limited with them. I grabbed skinning on the first to get a good head start for gold, and played once in a while to get decent gear. On my subsequent characters, I just pick up the appropriate crafting profession. It's usually easiest to start with a leather class since the skinner will have a bunch of skins. After that point, you'll have enough gold to buy anything you want.
AH every 10 or so levels.. I just geared up at 68.. that and 58 are the most important imo.. you get the outland/northrend weapons then.. I just got a lvl 68 green with 83.4dps versus my outlands blue 66 that had 51dps and a 1.8cast compared to the new green 1.7
