Lesson #1: You have no talent. Haha. Well, until level ten.

Understanding the Talent system creates an excellent foundation for truly getting into the gameplay that World of Warcraft (WoW) has to offer. The talent system is one of the few ways to really personalize your character and make it yours and understanding it to the fullest can truly enhance gameplay. That's why we've made a detailed guide on how the Talent system works, how points are spent, and some basics on how to spend your points.

"Some Talents have more then just a prerequisite of having a certain number of points in a tree. These Talents often require points to be in a specific Talent before they become available. In these scenarios you must unlock the tier by spending the necessary points followed by purchasing enough ranks of the prerequisite Talent that it becomes available."
