World Of Warcraft Getting Started: Quick Start

In-Game Help System: If you are new to the game, we recommend you take advantage of the in-game help system. By clicking on the flashing exclamation mark icon that appears at the bottom of your screen, you can learn about the basic elements of the game such as starting quests, initiating combat, and training your character.

If you have any questions about anything on your interface, hold your mouse over the item to bring up a tooltip with information on the relevant item.

To move in the game world, use the arrow keys or the WASD keys on your keyboard. You can adjust your character's view by using your mouse.

If you encounter an object, monster, or character that you can interact with, your mouse pointer will turn into an icon that will indicate that you can do so.

To select an object, monster, or character, left-click it. To interact with it, right-click it.

Read Your Manual!

We highly suggest you take the time to read your World of Warcraft manual. It was written for new users and contains many things not mentioned in this guide.
