IAmHaivo: He did not just call MadSeason an OSRS youtuber in a video about wow

TwoAndAHalfShens: Thats hilarious that Madseason is a classic WoW youtuber, and Gbay knows him for OSRS.

prisonshankify: Lmao calling madseason a OSRS creator when dude has built his entire brand off of WoW content and his mascot is a his wow character is hilarious

AmbushIntheDark: Gbay really made a video about how shit wowhead articles are lol

MarkoDinicDinke: The mistake was opening a wowhead guide. 2nd link from the search was the correct one.

silvek99: I always find it interesting to find an old comment under a classic quest or item (I think migrated from Thottbot?). It's crazy to see discussions from over 20 years ago.

imnotthegiant: Legendary refresh pull

Wasshuss: This series is making me want to get into Wow Classic for the first time aswell.

VaderPepe: MadSeason being called an OSRS youtuber was not on my 2026 bingo card, but here we are. Good to see you finding him, his content is peak.

Zeldarulah: Mr. President, peak has just hit the Youtube homepage

pottoman: IIRC the wowhead drop rates or "fractions" come data collected from players that have an addon that sends info from their kills etc to the site. So for example the quest item that you were wondering about, players have killed Edwin with the addon and have either completed the quest or havent had the quest in their quest log while killing the boss, hence lowering the drop rate for the specific quest item.

earthrester9198: Your natural enthusiasm is so infectious, I'd watch you hype up a jar of pickles.

MickVolume: Another gbay WoW video? time to get comfy.

Fordavoodoo: Tip for newbies that are completely lost and really do need to look up something on WoWhead: forget the guides. Look up the item/npc/location, and immediately go to the comments section. That is where the useful information is hiding.

TrueNargin: Okay so the biggest misconception you had in this video is that WoWhead is essentially like a WoW wiki. It's really not. It's a database listing all the things in WoW in very specific and VERY TECHNICAL detail. Sound stupid as hell but the pages that don't say "Guide" are not guides. If you're looking at a quest page it will tell you all the elements of said quest and not how to complete it. If you want to know how to complete it then if it's complex enough to warrant writing a guide look for said guide. Otherwise someone probably explained it in the comments.

PS. The reason loot drops are listed as fraction and percentage is because they're all player-reported. WoWHead does not datamine what an NPC can drop and with what probability. Instead I think you download an addon that tracks how many times you looted a certain NPC and how many times you got each item. WoWHead then takes that data from all the players who sent it and sums it up.

АйдоралСмертестойкий: Back in TBC days I had a real life notebook with handwritten table of price for AH materials. There were 2 columns: sell for X, buy if Y or below.

I was a schoolkid but apparently had experience in market analytics lol

KingPappa14: Does anyone else scroll right to the comments on wowhead for useful information?

Koby5649: I started watching your videos after the first WoW video, and now I get so excited to see a new video from you about WoW from a fresh set of eyes. It's like a nostalgia trip.

DjKorppi: Wowhead is not a wiki, it is a database. Addon records info from the game and loads it into this database. Later they have added things like guides users have written, but it STILL is a database. When you look at mob loot, you get data from database, how many times the addon has seen an item drop for a mob. Not datamined info from gamefiles.

KyreBosler: First anti-ad for rested xp ive seen lol

milleymilley: i started playing classic wow for the first time a few months ago and experienced almost exactly the same as you did. the way you described loving watching new players play runescape was exactly what i loved about your playthrough. hope you're still loving it

CleareyeGM: Very true about magic in MMOs being about discovery.

maskoblackfyre: I literally started playing WoW because of your videos and I'm having so much fun. Can't wait for more videos from you!

I play TBC Anniversary, as a Drenai Paladin, and as soon as I finished my class introduction areas I took a long trip across the whole world (a ship to the Wetlands and then walking on foot, all the way to Stormwind) to Elwyn Forest because I wanted to do the same Defias quest as you. It didn't even matter that I was level 21 and would not start getting more XP until I got to Redridge. It was so cool, because it's written in a cool way.

Also, I tried to do something similar to what you did and the result was basically the same. As a new Paladin I wanted to look up "Paladin Builds" after clearing Duskwood and hitting level 30, but the information was so dense and so incomprehensible to my noob mind that I just gave up.

For me, WoW Classic is also the first game in over a decade where I don't "google game" it, but just enjoy discovering as much as I can.

TaliaNonya: so fun fact about he wowhead drop rates, there's actually no data mining, at least not in the traditional sense (or like it was that way a long time ago idk if its still true) they use community sourcing through a wowhead database addon, which tracks basically everything in game and then the user can upload it to the database, and that can lead to things like a 100% quest drop showing up as not 100% because someone cleared the dungeon with the addon and wasn't on the quest

GoodwynAndIn: I have a suggestion for your leveling journey: Friendlist cool people you meet during leveling so you remember their names

(with /friend username). You will probably run into them again a days/weeks later and that will make for a cool story/ experience

MarkBoyall: The big problem with Wowhead is that they are aiming to cover all versions of WoW in one go, rather than being dedicated just to Classic, so if you don't already know what is for Classic and what is not, it's not really obvious and they're more interested in telling retail players how not to play Classic rather than telling new players how to play Classic.

yeshuaschazzar: Professions come in two kind: gathering and production. Herbalism and mining are gathering professions. When you have either as one of your two main professions they come with a skill called “find mine / herb”. Located in your spell book in the general tab will be a new spell that puts the resource location as a little golden dot on your minimap.
