Cataclysm Note: I’m currently in the process of updating this page with Cataclysm info. In the meantime, please check out my own guides.
This page contains links to every single mage resource I’ve been able to locate. It covers everything from leveling your new mage all the way through to raiding and PVP. It also provides links to places where you can find mage advice, some of the best mage blogs out there and where to go for further information.
This list will never be complete, as new information emerges all the time. If you spot something that’s worth inclusion, or if you’re a writer yourself that wants to share something, feel free to contact me or add a comment at the bottom of the page.
Thanks to Zelmaru at Murloc Parliament and Gnomeageddon at Armageddon’s Coming for providing much of the information here.

Hey, thanks for this resource, and for including our site. A quick correction: our site isn’t strictly for fire mages. We chose the name because it was a mage ability that tied in with our feminist approach to the game, but our site is for mages of any flavor.
Thanks for the note! I’ve updated your entry, but please let me know if you’re unhappy with the wording still and I’ll change it accordingly.
Hey Gaz I see you’ve added my blog. A few changes are in order š I’m no longer arcane on my mage but frost (pvp) and fire (pve). And I will start writing about her in the near future again but main focus will be my warrior.
Good Morning!
I just added your site to my links. Great site by the way! I was hoping to get mine added to your links! Thank you!
Whow! Still working on Cata. I hope to see yout MoP Changes in 2014.
