Lately, The Classic World of Warcraft has been enriched with The Burning Crusade. After entering the Dark Portal, there are a few things you should do. Here is what experts recommend.

1. Roll a Draenei
Shamans have handy totems and impressive DPS. The elephant-like elekk is also one of the best racial mounts. In terms of design and lore, these aliens have a lot to offer. They also come from a spectacular place — the Azuremyst Isle.
2. Download the Attunement Add-on
After reaching 70, you go through attunement to continue raiding. Completion of various activities at every level allows you to advance. The process is complicated, so get an add-on as a helpful guide. Alternatively, just get a WoW TBC boost to progress faster.
3. Go Through the Dark Portal
Players rarely adore The Blasted Lands, but they are useful for those who pay attention. As the zone hosts the Dark Portal, it is packed with demons, evil animals, and Blood Elves.
4. Gain Respect of Outland Factions
The universal ones include The Cenarion Expedition and the Sha’tar of Shattrath City. For raids, you need Best in Slot items, which are found in particular dungeons or can be bought from special vendors. To obtain them, you need a high standing among the factions.
5. Beware of the Fel Reaver
This giant creature likes to sneak up on players. Those who enter the Shattered Halls are often distracted by the novelty of the experience, quests, and raids. This is a big mistake, as the 20-story tall creature can take you by surprise.
6. Level Professional Skills
Work on both gathering and crafting. The former will help you make money following a new patch or expansion. Professional skills become available at a certain skill level in the profession. Some crafted items are instantly soulbound to their creators, which requires maximized skills.
7. Choose Scryers or Aldor
One of the first quests is the choice between the Aldor and the Scryer. The former are associated with the Alliance, while the latter are connected to the Horde, but you will be able to access common loot either way.
8. Buy a Flying Mount
Some places in Outland are only accessible through flying mounts. You need to spend 250g for Expert Riding and 5000g for epic Artisan Riding. Thus, prepare some gold.
9. Explore Shadowmoon Valley
This zone has a lot of gear, but it is also the starting point for the quest to obtain Netherdrake. The Netherwing Drake is one of the best flying mounts.
10. Roll a Blood Elf
Finally, do not ignore The Blood Elves — the first Horde race to access the Paladin class. Their powers and abilities also favor Warlocks, Mages, and Priests. This is your opportunity to watch the aftermath of the Third War up close.
