My pallygirl and four shegoats are 80! Started in mid-Dec 2009....half year later, omg!
What a long and arduous journey! Never been in an instance at all.
Now, questions:

1) What to do to get gears? PVE first, PVP second
2) How to get them? Need to buy tanking stuffs for the pallygirl? Piss poor, but combined all five toons, should have 5K
3) I read somewhere that PVP, you dont have to actually fight, just log in and exit to get the credit?
4) Long way before I can farm heroics using Shokodan's guide
5) I am just glad that I made 80...
6) Still scratching my head on how to set up the spread formation (this is still after reading Ualaa's guide over and over again! Please help me with pix and clear instruction if anyone is up to it...
7) THANK YOU ALL FOR SETTING UP THIS WEBSITE AND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS...COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT COMMUNITY!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Yay!
