Classic Level 19 Twink Priest BiS Guide

Psychic Scream: Something to consider when playing 19 twinks is that every class doesn't have access to their crowd control abilities and, the fact that Priest actually does is a huge bonus.

Shadow Word: Pain: In Combination with Blackout this gives you a mana efficient way to add some crowd control to your already diverse toolkit.

Dispel Magic: This is probably Priest's best spell as it allows you to remove debuffs from allies while you purge buffs from your enemies.

Power Word: Shield: it's worth noting that at level 18 you get rank 3 Power Word: Shield, when looking to make a 19 twink it's always worth looking at what they get at level 18.

Faction Choice

Race: Whether you are going for the best racial for PVP or the most aesthetically pleasing appearance, you're going to be limited to your Faction's Races.

Faction Specific Quest Rewards: Some quests are Faction specific, meaning that if it is an Alliance only quest you won't be able to get it on Horde and vice versa. It's important to research what quest rewards are available to you so that you can get the quests done at early a level as possible.

Best Alliance Race For a 19 Twink Priest

Dwarf: Dwarf has the best of both worlds in having the most powerful "Race Racial" in Stoneform, as well as the best "Priest Racial" with Desperate Prayer. If you're looking for the biggest impact in game play with your Race decision, I'd go Dwarf.

Night Elf: For Priests it is all about the "Priest Racial", for Night Elves that means Starshards which is a channeled damage spell. Unfortunately for elf fans, the Dwarven Racials are much too good to pass up.

Human: This is the race you go if you don't like the way Night Elves look, you might gain a slight edge on Rogues in duels using Perception, but I would focus much more on the "Priest Racial" that humans get which is Desperate Prayer. Humans are probably the 2nd best Race next to Dwarf.

Best Horde Race For a 19 Twink Priest

Troll: Personally Trolls are my favorite looking Race and they also happen to be the best race for Priests in the 10-19 bracket as well. With Hex of Weakness as their "Priest Racial" they can debuff the enemy flag carrier and put out tremendous pressure on a kill target. In addition to this they have their normal racial of Berserking.

Undead: If you don't like the look of a troll there is a solid second option in Undead, Their "Priest Racial" isn't as good with Touch of Weakness but their normal Racial is an iconic one in the form of Will of the Forsaken which helps you deal with Warlocks in the 10-19 bracket.

Managing Your Experience

Explore Zones: Although it might sound tedious to do so, explore every zone you think you might go to on your 19 twink. This is actually quite an important because certain quest chains can only be started at level 19 and in some cases can even give you 95% of the level; the last thing you want to do is accidentally level up by stepping into a new zone.

Don't Equip Your BoEs Until The Very End: Many items that twinks use are Bind on Equip and can be equipped with no cost to your experience. With these items, I wouldn't equip them until you are 19, finished with everything else, and ready to PVP.

Do Dungeons and Quests As Early As Possible: If you need an item from a Dungeon you should have a friend run you as soon as possible, it may take you several runs to get a particular item. In addition, Quests and/or Dungeon Quests should be completed as soon as you can pick up the quest, most of the time you can finish all of your quests before level 18. It's worth noting that certain quests will require level 19 to begin so you will want to have everything else completed before then.

Be Patient: There's a lot to complete on a 19 twink and you should be ready to invest the time necessary to make sure you are happy with your finished character. For instance, you are able to complete things like professions, the STV fishing event, as well as the STV arena event all at level 10, there's no reason to rush these things.

Rare Fish - Keefer's Angelfish: If you happen to fish up a Keefer's Angelfish you can return to Fishbot and claim your Lucky Fishing Hat, this is the best helm for all 19 twinks.

Rare Fish - Brownell's Blue Striped Racer: If you happen to fish up a Brownell's Blue Striped Racer you can return to Fishbot and claim your Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots, these are the highest stamina boots you can get on a 19 twink. It's also worth noting that in The Burning Crusade you can enchant these with level 70 enchants.

Rare Fish - Dezian Queenfish: If you happen to fish up a Dezian Queenfish you can return to Fishbot and claim your High Test Eternium Fishing Line. Although this doesn't actually give you a twink item, you can take pride in having collected something else for your hobby character.

Most notably, every chest will contain a single Arena Master which will begin the quest Arena Master that can be turned into Short John Mithril.

Short John Mithril can be found nearby in the spectator seats opposite the entrance of the arena. Once you bring him an Arena Master he will ask you to bring him 11 more for a total of 12, upon completing such a grandiose task he will reward you with Arena Grand Master.

Green Tinted Goggles: Before you get your fishing hat, this is going to be your best option for a helm and it requires you to max Engineering. If RNG isn't in your favor, you might be using this for quite some time while you are trying to catch a Keefer's Angelfish.

Minor Recombobulator: This is another item from Engineering that can hold one of your trinket slots while you are working toward your Arena Grand Master.

Big Bronze Bomb: With this, Engineering gives any twink character the ability to stun enemies as well as deal a bit of extra fire damage. This item is extremely useful similar to how useful grenades are for max-level PVP.

Strong Fishing Pole: Can be found on almost all fishing vendors but, it is only sold one at a time. Fortunately the cooldown isn't very long and you should be able to get one of these quite easily.

High Test Eternium Fishing Line: A reward for catching one of the rare fish at the fishing tournament, you can upgrade your fishing pole with a stronger line.

Bright Baubles or Aquadynamic Fish Attractor: Lures are a consumable that will increase your fishing skill by a dramatic amount for a short while. These should be attached at all times during the fishing tournament.

Expert First Aid - Under Wraps: Will allow you to reach a skill of 225.

Manual: Mageweave Bandage: Finally, this will make getting your last 15 points very easy.

Deneb WalkerBalai Lok'WeinRagorism's Classic First Aid Guide.Concluding Thoughts

Twinks are an excellent in-game "hobby", your character will reflect the amount of time, effort, and gold that you invest into the character. Getting the absolute best gear on a 19 twink can be very expensive and very time consuming.

There are a lot of extracurricular activities that go into creating a 19 twink, you should be patient and plan ahead so that you don't accidentally level your character to 20. Events like the Gurubashi Arena, The STV Fishing Tournament, and Dungeons can be done early on to avoid unnecessary experience gains.

Grinding max level reputations can give you powerful pieces of gear and flashy items to show off your dedication. Grinding reputations becomes very popular among 19 twinks during The Burning Crusade expansion.

Engineering, Fishing, and First Aid are required to make a twink in the 10-19 bracket. Using these professions will allow you to gain access to unique pieces of gear, as well as powerful consumables to aid you in combat.

Shouldn't it be Insignia of the Horde for horde or Insignia of the Alliance for alliance?

Great twink information here, thanks for the guide!

I have extensive experience in classic with 19 priest in twink premades. I would like to point out a few things here with the talents real quick.

Firstly improved renew: Let's assume we have +117 healing power in phase 3 (staff w/chant, ring, cloak, and bracer chant) then the three talent points there only add 15 healing (3 per tick) for rank two and only 7 healing (1.4 per tick) to your rank one renew spell. This means these talent points have several better places to be spent.

This brings us to my second point: Martyrdom is the best talent for a level 19 twink priest, especially against twink rogues and hunters which tend to rule the 19 bracket. It will proc almost immediately and make you and your team very tough to kill buy ensuring NO push back which is huge against all the pets and players that will be focusing you while also providing 20% resist to kick. Without this talent it is very tough to survive that initial test of "focus the healer" and if you fail that test on the first try you may have singlehandedly lost the battleground as the enemy team will essentially GY camp you after that.

Lastly, priests at this level have access to one of the most overpowered DPS items in the gulch in Gravestone Scepter. When combined with the +25% damage provided by wand specialization you will almost never lose a 1v1 against another 19 regardless of class due to the high consistent damage output and extreme mana efficiency which means you never run out of mana for heals. I feel it is too powerful to pass up even in a premade situation. I tend to go 7/2/1 putting two into healing focus for extra push back insurance while martyrdom is down and just one point into blackout will make you swear the proc rate is higher then 2%.

I have so much more information on this class in this bracket, please feel free to DM me if anyone has any questions and thanks again for the guides, happy twinking!

Until you are able to get Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots, Sanguine Sandals or Greenweave Sandals of the Eagle would be BiS I think.
Voice Amplification Modulator is probably best until the Sentinel's Medallion can be purchased.
I think I am going to use Lavishly Jeweled Ring until I can purchase Lorekeeper's Ring.
Until Caretaker's Cape can be purchased, Engineer's Cloak is probably BiS.
If Staff of the Blessed Seer is unavailable or too expensive, you can try Twisted Chanter's Staff instead.

If you don't want to spend all the gold needed (or time) for the leg enchant, Heavy Armor Kit can be used instead (but you need to apply it on a 60 character). Same goes for the gloves until Enchant Gloves - Healing Power is out.

A few notes on quests:

The quest chain for Seal of Wrynn, starts with The Unsent Letter which is started with An Unsent Letter dropped in The Deadmines by Edwin VanCleef at level 16. It is a very long chain, requiring a run through The Stockade and many turn in's along the way (it is a total of 12 quests). So be careful with this one.

The Glowing Shard (for Talbar Mantle) dropped by Mutanus the Devourer in Wailing Caverns. He is spawned after killing all 4 of the bosses and speaking with an NPC at the entrance of the instance. The item can be gotten at any level, but the quest cannot be started until level 15.

Talk to Argent Guard Thaelrid in Blackfathom Deeps, where he will give the quest Blackfathom Villainy (which awards the wand).

The first quest in the chain for Engineer's Cloak is Ziz Fizziks available at level 16 in Stonetalon Mountains, there are 5 quests in this chain.

In other words, at level 15 finish the quest Glowing Shard and at level 16 start The Unsent Letter as soon as possible because it awards a lot of XP, and do the quest chain for Engineer's Cloak starting with Ziz Fizziks. Finally, as soon as you are 18, start In Search of Thaelrid. Until then, there are not many essential quests.
