Thread: Could use a guide

Hey guys, I was thinking about making a very custom funserver and I wanted to ask some of you guys that have been here for a whiles opinion. My scripting skills are shoddy at best, but I do know enough to do basic work with MySQL. Because of this I was thinking a repack would be best for what im trying to do. Having everything more or less done already for a server would allow me to just edit the things I want to change rather then code them from scrap.

I am aware however that there have been some issues with making custom items for some reason, but I dont have any info as to what causes that trouble to know what I need to get around it.

I more or less want to wipe clean the item drop tables for npc's bosses, and vender items too and start from scratch. Also I have some friends who are far more skilled in C++ then I am who are willing to help me upgrade every raid and instance to 80 or 85 (depending on cata or not)

What matters most to me is working class skills over scripted raids since we have to redo them anyway. I would prefer cata if there is one with a large working skill set but I know thats asking for a lot there.


Any help would be totally awesome, and thanks for taking your time to read this

Ok great! so 3.3.5 it is then. Can you recommend a repack with 90%+ skills working or so? I dont care too much about what core its under but if you think one is better for massive editing then another im all ears.

Thanks! im gonna dl it and try it out now!
Thanks for all your help Dread :)

Yes I agree with Dread cata isnt good on custom iteams but is getting stabler ive ran catta servers for months and never had a crash :)
