-'''Alt''' is an abbreviation for ''alternate'' character, or ''alter-ego''. Virtually all MMORPGs permit a [[player]] to create more than one [[player character]] on his or her [[account]]. An alt is a character to which a person devotes less time and effort than the person's [[main]] character.

+== Objectives ==
-What constitutes "less" time and effort can be subjective with respect to the player. For most players, the main is the most powerful, highest-level, or simply the oldest character on the account while some refer to all of their characters on their main server as "[[main]]s" while their characters on other servers are referred to as ''alts''. A few players may play multiple characters simultaneously, keeping them roughly equal in power.  In those cases, players often simply use the term ''alt'' to refer to a character other than the one they are currently playing.

+*{{Mob|Forsaken Invader}} slain x10
-== Uses ==
+== Description ==
+<name>! I'm still not sure if you're alive or dead... human or worgen...
-Alts are created for a variety of reasons.
+I'm not even sure if I'm really awake. But THIS I am sure of...
-=== Variety ===
-Some players create alts to have a different social experience.  In some cases, the change is minor, being simply a second character with a slightly different personality and/or abilities. In other cases it can be drastic, as in being a member of a different race or gender. Alts may have wholly different circles of friends from the main, or no friends at all.
+We're going to kill a great many of these motherless [[Forsaken]].
-In WoW, many players create alts to try different classes and professions, to enrich their gameplay, or to remedy boredom. People who bought the game when it first came out typically reached the maximum level of 60 within a few months, and started alts.  WoW does well in this regard, by providing ten different [[race]]s, nine [[class]]es, and four [[realm]] types; it's easy to encounter a completely different gameplay experience.
+== Rewards ==
-=== Reinforcing other characters ===
+{{itembox|You will be able to choose one of these rewards|Repeller's Bracers|Gilnean Soldier's Waistband}}
-Some alts are created on the same [[realm]] to increase the power of a player's main, or to create a team of characters all mutually reinforcing each other. Many [[quest]]s and [[recipe]]s in the game require materials not available to single characters without help.  For instance, a [[tailoring]] recipe may require ingredients obtained only by [[skinning]] or [[mining]]—or both—while a single character may possess only two of those types of [[profession]]s at a time. With alts, a person can work other professions, and avoid problems with availability of materials, at the expense of spending extra time leveling up.

-=== Farming Alts ===
+== Progress ==
+These blaggards aren't so tough now, are they?
-If you are rerolling on a new [[realm]] or on the opposite [[faction]] on the same [[realm]] as your main, it is worth considering creating a [[Death Knight]] purely for the purposes of [[farming]], provided you meet the initial level criteria and do not already have a [[Death Knight]] on that realm. Since the character starts at level 55, and enters the standard content at level 58 with a very fast mount they will be able to gather resources such as [[ore]], [[herb]]s, [[leather]] and even [[cloth]] with much greater efficiency than a starting character. Furthermore, having a dedicated [[farming]] alt will allow more unusual [[profession]] combinations among the player's other characters, such as [[blacksmithing]] and [[jewelcrafting]] or [[leatherworking]] and [[enchanting]]. Ideally a farming alt would have two of the three [[gathering]] professions, [[skinning]], [[herbalism]] and [[mining]] and whatever resources are not used by the player's other characters should be sold at auction to provide much needed gold.
-===Bank Alt===
+== Completion ==
+Yes, <name>! Just like old times...
-A bank alt is an alternate character that is usually level 1 and sits in a trade [[city]]. This character's primary use is for:
-#Extra Bank Space (possibly including a 1-member guild with a [[guild bank]].)
-#Have a Character right next to the [[Auction House]] to Auction all your stuff if you're far away from one.
-#Manage numerous amounts of resources
+I'm going to have to work hard at not shooting you, but {{NPC||Krennan Aranas||Krennan}} explained everything to us.
-=== Other reasons ===
-Some alts exist primarily:
-*to be [[Mule (game term)|mule]]s (AKA bank alts, very common, usually low level, often level 1)
-*to be [[twink]]s (fairly common, focused on PvP, does not want to level past their bracket)
-*to be [[bot (character)|bot]]s (which is contrary to the [[Terms of Use Agreement|Terms of Use]])
-*to [[Multiboxing|multibox]] (requires separate accounts per character; it is within the Terms of Use)
-*an [[addon]] debug alt (AKA debug toon) may be created on a separate realm in order to debug addons that may cause them to lose gold and/or items.
-These types of characters are not always played in the normal sense; see their respective pages for more information.
-== Same account ==
+==Notes==
+Pick up {{quest|You Can't Take 'Em Alone}} before heading out.
-All accounts may have up to 50 characters at a time.
-=== Abilities ===
+== Quest progression==
+{{:Worgen starting experience/Duskhaven}}
-Alts on the same account and faction can [[mail]] [[item]]s to each other.
+==Patch history==
-Alts on the same account and faction can be in the same [[guild]] and use the same [[guild bank]]. If their individual privileges within the guild allows them to, they can trade cash or items through the guild bank; there are no account based restrictions.
+{{Patch 4.0.3|note=Added}}
+==External links==
-=== Restrictions ===
+<!-- Read http://www.wowwiki.com/WoWWiki:External_links before posting your links here.
-Alts on the same account cannot both be present at once.
+Links that do not conform to the rules will be DELETED.
+Repeat violations may result in a BAN.
-So alts on the same account cannot [[trade]] with each other using the trade window.
+Have a nice day. :) -->
+{{elinks-quest|14347}}
-Alts on the same account cannot buy each other's [[auction]]s. This prevents direct transfers between [[Horde]] and [[Alliance]] alts on the same account on the same server.
-[[Conjured]] items cannot be sold at the [[Auction House]], mailed nor put in a guild bank tab, but can be given, sold, or traded with other player characters using the trade window. Unfortunately, that means you cannot pass these directly to an alt on the same account.
-=== Benefits ===
-{{Quality|Heirloom}} items [[Bind to Account|bind to account]] and can be handed down to alts on the same account. This is also true for [[Collector's Edition]] companions and the {{loot|common|Baby Blizzard Bear}}.
-Item delivery via [[mail]] between alts on the same account has no delay; between [[player character]]s there is a one hour delay.
-As of [[Patch 3.3]], it is possible to mail [[Bind to Account|bind to account]] items to cross-faction alts residing on the same server.
-== Separate accounts ==
-There is no restriction on the number of accounts you can have, but each costs an account fee per month.
-Alts on separate accounts circumvent the restrictions placed on Alts on the same account, and also lose the benefits. Few players run a separate account just to occasionally trade items.
-The primary use of alts on separate accounts is [[Multiboxing]].
-=== Trial Accounts ===
-You could run an alt on a [[trial]] account, but that trial account would not be able to trade, use the auction house, nor mail or receive items, so a trial account alt cannot get around the trading restrictions of a same account alt.
-You can Multibox with trial account alts, but gearing your alts is a problem, since you cannot directly share. The best you can do is run as master looter on your main to allocate items that drop. You will also quickly exceed the level limit for trial accounts. Anyone serious about Multiboxing will probably prefer to run paid accounts.
-==Alt-itis==
-{{Silly}}
-Players who have a large number of mid-level characters rather than a few high-level ones are sometimes jokingly accused of suffering from "alt-itis". Symptoms include:
-* playing for over a year without ever getting a [[mount]]
-* trouble keeping [[Mule (game term)|mule]]s &mdash; you just can't stop leveling them!
-* running out of global character slots (a player can only have 50 characters across all realms, and 10 on each individual realm)
-* needing an [[addon]] to keep your [[Friends]] lists synched ((Addons include Friends and Ignore Share, and others - This is actually a default feature of certain games more loosely associated with realms such as Guild Wars))
-*Inability to commit any characters to max level or a even a [[Twink]] level
-This term is almost always used in good humor, despite the usual implication that it's a sign of indecision. The most common causes of alt-itis are:
-* wanting to experience as much of the game as possible (different classes, races, professions, zones, race-/class-/faction-specific quests)
-* trying to socialize with as many people as possible (with enough online friends, you seem to end up with one at every level)
-* before [[Paid Character Transfer Service|paid character transfers]], needing to start over on a new server
-* enjoying lower level content more than higher level content, especially the more [[solo]]-friendly quests and equipment progression before level cap.
-* addiction to the fast level-up rate of levels 1 through 20.
-* Various mental organization disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-Deficit_Hyperactivity_Disorder] or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive-compulsive_disorder]
-Many sufferers of alt-itis are proud to wear the label.
-Alternate terms include:
-*Alt-aholic (A reference to all drug addictions usually defaults to/relates to alcoholism, and World of Warcraft can be a "drug" in a modern brain chemistry sense.)
