It's confirmed that DKs will start out somewhere between level 50-70. This means, that you'll have this new character, but he'll start at level 50 (this is going with the minimum). However, having a new character at level 50 seems annoying.


Why? Think about professions. Think where most people are in them at 50. Think about money. Think about how most people are financially at level 50, and than think about how annoying that would be to get starting without a single copper. I don't think blizz would force you to mail cash to your DK just to get him started. I think, personally, there's a lot better stuff to do with your time. I would imagine bilzz would realise this, and fix it up a bit.

As you're escaping Stratholme, or doing whatever the starting zone for Death Knights is, there'll be a quest to ransack a tower used by the Lich King for defenses. When you get to the top, there's a huge chest with some gold in it. However, this would makes problems with people just making an assload of DKs and taking all the starting cash. An alternative would just be to make DK starting stuff really really cheap.

Also, people were normal whatever their races were before they became DKs. This means they were likely to know professions. There could be a part where you and some of your DK escapees are in a camp, and reached the salvation of other escaped DKs after getting out of the starting zone. One of the elderly mage type guys could ask you to try and remember your old profession. You pick one, and he'll give you a tome that gives you an automatic 300 in one skill. This may sound OP, but remember the other skill is still at 1 by default...

This is just something I was thinking of. Unfortunatly, there's no way to give you 50 levels of knowing how to play your class good. But hell, we have Thottbot for things like that.

Are you saying u wont have $$ to fund the DK if u choose to lvl one? You do know that you will have to have a 70 main lvl to 80 first tho right? And if you dont have any cash on ur main, maybe the smart thing to do would be to stop playing the DK and get ut main some gear and do some dailies???

As for the professions... uh, are u saying its hard to get to 1-300 or 1-375? Sure crafting ones are a bitch and require a good amt of cash if u choose to buy it. But cmon now, any prof (gathering) can be maxed to 375 within a day or 2. The epic mount at 60 can be farmed in 2 days if not sooner just by doing dailies... If its difficult for you now, i would seriouslly stop thinking of the DK and work on ur current toons.

For ppl who have less time to play, it really is a pain in the ass though so i think his ideas r pretty good.
Oh and DKs can only be made once a month so ppl prolly wont be doin the money thing. Plus, 25g for ur DK wud be enough at lv 50 so it shouldnt be that much money for farming anyways. Not hard for u to mail some anyways. Its already not a lot and when WotLK comes out, it should be nothing.

An idea tho. For ppl who want money and dont really want a DK. Do the quest, make one, and level it to 80. Give the money to ur main then delete ur death knight. Then remake one. and so on. Im not sure if it will work or if it is any use at all... so plz post an answer. TY

THIS IS MAJOR BS!!!!!!!

DK will start at level 55 only if you have a lvl 55+ character on the realm. YOu will also be allowed to make 1 DK per realm.

Doesnt the deathknight have to do a bunch of quests before you get any of ur spells?

Guys its going to be all fine! Deathknights get at least first aid at 270 and their weapon skills, as mentioned by someone... you are going to have alot of quests which will get you some money and to 58 boom outlands your mount is covered its all good

I am comfussed do you have to have a regular warrior at lvl 50 and turn him into a death knight or can u just click to create one and he will start at lvl 50?

its lvl 55 u can do it on 50...

you must have a lvl 55+ char.

and NO it does NOT take any existing char away the death knight is it's own character
