Player Guide

Getting Started
1
Create an account and enter the 6-digit email code. If the message does not arrive, check spam / junk, then send a new code. A confirmed account is required to download the launcher. Use the same username and password in the game.
2
Download the MiCasa launcher from the Download page and run MiCasaLauncher.exe. It installs the client, keeps the realm patch current, and can add the addons we have tested. Keep the filename MiCasaLauncher.exe.
3
Add Unbot and TipTac from the launcher if you want the in-game companion panel. They are recommended for bots, not required to log in. See the FAQ if a name box covers your buffs. Extra Wrath addons: Download.
4
Play from the launcher, log in, select the MiCasa WoW 3.3.5a realm, and create your main character. Then create additional characters on the same account to use as AI companions. Before a character reaches level 7, you can send them to another same-faction starter from the Locker if they are logged out.

Questions: FAQ on this page, Discord, or the Changelog.

Realm settings

House rules that differ from stock Wrath. Bags, potions, a personal bank, trainers, and flight paths are free from the Locker.

  • The launcher points you at wow.micasa915.com. Level cap is 80 (Wrath 3.3.5a).
  • Dungeons and raids scale to party size (AutoBalance). Alliance and Horde can group for that PvE — Cross-faction groups.
  • Auction House is one house for both factions.
  • XP is 2x; an Experience Potion from the Locker makes kill and quest XP 4x while it lasts. Experience.
  • AI companions auto-loot (your account characters in the party). Hunter and warlock pets do not.
  • World bots wear level-appropriate gear (item required level cannot be above the bot). About 15% of world/random bots are PvP-flagged in the open world. Your account AI companions are not. Battlegrounds and arenas are unchanged.
  • The world restarts every Monday at 11 PM Mountain Time (15-minute in-game warning). Minor realm changes wait for that window when they need a restart. Details in the FAQ.
  • If a character is stuck, log them out, then use Unstuck on My Account. Alliance go to Stormwind, Horde to Orgrimmar. Once per character every 8 hours.
Experience

Kill, quest, and exploration XP are 2x for everyone.

An Experience Potion from the Locker is usable from level 1. It doubles kill and quest XP on top of that (4x while the buff lasts). Each drink adds 1 hour, stacking up to 24 hours. The buff bar shows time remaining. It survives death and logout and cannot be cancelled.

Cross-faction groups

Alliance and Horde can invite each other, run Dungeon Finder together, and walk into dungeons and raids as one party or raid. You do not need to turn PvP on for that. The Auction House is shared — either faction sees the same listings.

While you are grouped, opposite-faction members are treated as friendly: heals and buffs work, and your AOE does not damage them. Ungrouped Alliance and Horde in the world are unchanged. Battlegrounds and arenas: see the FAQ.

Personal Bank

Mail a Personal Bank from the Locker. Right-click it in your bags while you are in a city, inn, or other sanctuary — same as talking to a banker. You do not need a target. The item is not consumed. One is enough. Limits and the Goldshire quest: FAQ.

Riding

Riding ranks are earlier and cheaper than stock Wrath. Any same-faction riding or flying trainer will teach you; you do not need that city’s reputation (a Draenei can train with a Stormwind riding trainer, and so on).

  • When you hit level 6, you get a system chat line and an on-screen notice that Apprentice Riding is available.
  • Apprentice Riding (60% ground) — level 6, free. The trainer also gives you one random ground mount (vendor mounts through rares). Once per character; bags first, mailbox if they are full. Any ground mount can be used at 6 once you have this rank — including 100% and PvP/drop mounts. Playerbots (AI companions and world bots) learn Apprentice Riding and a usable mount at 6 without visiting a trainer.
  • Journeyman Riding (100% ground speed from the skill) — level 20, 10 gold. You do not need this rank just to use a faster ground mount item.
  • Expert Riding (150% flying) — level 40, 40 gold. Vendor 150% flyers (gryphons, wind riders, and the other old-60 flyers) can be used at 40 with this rank.
  • Cold Weather Flying — level 60, 100 gold
  • Artisan Riding (280% flying) — level 70, 500 gold. Swift 280% flyers stay at 70.

You still need the previous riding rank before the next one. Unique late flyers (proto-drakes, Ashes of Al'ar, and the like) keep their usual high requirements.

Choose your starting zone

Once per character, before they hit level 7, you can send them to a different same-faction starter from the Locker. Alliance picks among Northshire, Coldridge, Shadowglen, and Ammen Vale. Horde picks among Valley of Trials, Camp Narache, Deathknell, and Sunstrider Isle.

The character must be logged out. On the next login they are in that zone, and their hearthstone bind is updated to match. Each of those spawns also has a mailbox.

Random vanity pet

Optional collectible from the Locker (once per character). Use the mailed item, then summon it from the Companions tab. It is not required for loot — AI companions auto-loot. Only one vanity pet or trainer companion can be summoned at a time.

Companion of Spells

A portable class trainer. Everyone gets the same flying Nether Ray, named Companion of Spells. Claim it from the Locker for each character you want to have it.

Use the mailed item once to add it to your Companions tab. Summon it from there, then right-click it to train class spells. You still pay the usual training gold. You can learn this and the profession companion on the same character; only one can be out at a time. Trainers are not required for loot.

Companion of Professions

The same flying Nether Ray, named Companion of Professions. Claim it from the Locker independently of the spell companion.

Use the mailed item once to add it to your Companions tab. Summon it, right-click, and pick a profession (including gathering, cooking, first aid, and fishing). That opens the normal trainer window. Pick another profession from the list anytime it is out. Summoning it dismisses any other vanity pet or trainer companion that is out. Not required for loot.

Playerbots (overview)

This server runs mod-playerbots — real Wrath characters with class logic. They are not mindless NPC escorts. A bot logs in as a character (race, class, talents, bags) and plays that class: a paladin can tank, a priest can heal, a mage can DPS. You assign the role.

Two kinds of bots share the world:

  • Your alts (AI companions) — characters on your account that you bring online. They auto-loot. Commands are below.
  • The living world — random bots already in cities and leveling zones so Azeroth does not feel empty. You do not have to manage them. They wear gear for their own level. About 15% are PvP-flagged in the open world (not in battlegrounds or arenas). If you queue a battleground, they can fill empty slots on each faction’s side. They do not start battlegrounds on their own.

The Bots page is extra background. Commands are below. Mouseover box over your buffs: FAQ.

AI Companions

Any character on your account can be used as an AI companion. Log each character in at least once to initialize them, then log back into your main. Your other characters will appear online and can be added to your party.

They remember roles, gear, and strategies between sessions. They follow, fight, heal, auto-loot, and can visit vendors when you send them. Hunter and warlock pets do not auto-loot. You do not need a Locker pet for loot.

Adding & Removing Companions
.playerbots bot add <name>,<name>,<name> Add one or more companions to your party (comma-separated)
.playerbots bot remove <name> Send a companion offline
.playerbots bot remove * Remove all companions at once

All party chat commands below can also be sent as whispers: /w <name> follow to target a specific companion.

Roles & Combat

Assign roles in party chat so companions know how to behave in combat:

co +tank Companion becomes the tank
co +heal Companion focuses on healing
co +dps Companion deals damage
co ? List all active combat strategies

Control movement and targeting:

follow stay attack flee runaway Movement commands — all companions in party respond
give leader Transfer party leader to the companion you're whispering
Supplies, Gear & Maintenance

When near a vendor or trainer, companions can handle their own upkeep:

maintenance Learn spells from trainer, buy consumables, repair gear — must be near a vendor/trainer
autogear Equip the best gear currently in their bags
s vendor Sell all junk/gray items to free up bag space — must be near a vendor
s * Sell everything not equipped
b [item name] Buy a specific item from the targeted vendor
Questing Together

Companions will work on quests alongside you. Share quests from your quest log (right-click → Share) and companions in your party will automatically accept them.

accept * All companions accept all available quests from the targeted NPC
quests all List all quests a companion currently has (with clickable links)
drop [quest name] Companion abandons a quest
talk Companion interacts with the targeted NPC to turn in a completed quest
r [item name] Choose a specific quest reward item
Looting

AI companions auto-loot by default. Hunter and warlock pets do not. You do not need a Locker vanity pet or trainer for loot. Need/Greed rolls stay on the corpse for the group. If you ever turn loot off, turn it back on with the line below. The ll commands only change what they pick up.

nc +loot Turn automatic looting back on (it is already on unless you turned it off)
nc -loot Turn automatic looting off for companions in the party
ll all Loot everything
ll quest Loot quest items only
ll normal Loot normal quality and above
ll [item name] Add a specific item to the loot list

FAQ

What client is this?

Private World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (Wrath of the Lich King) on AzerothCore. Classic, Burning Crusade, and Wrath content; level cap 80. House rules are under Realm settings.

No confirmation code in email?

Log in (or open Resend code) and tap Send a new code. Check spam / junk — Gmail may file the first one there. Codes expire after 30 minutes; you can request another after one minute.

This is separate from the Monday realm restart.

Character is stuck?

On My Account, log that character out of the game, then tap Unstuck next to View. They appear in Stormwind (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde) on the next login. Hearth bind is updated to that city too.

Once per character every 8 hours. The button stays off while they are online or while the cooldown is running.

Why can’t I connect?

The launcher must set set realmlist wow.micasa915.com. set realmlist micasa915.com (no wow.) will not get in. Open the launcher once with the game closed so it can write that file.

When does the server restart?

Mondays at 11 PM Mountain Time, not every night. You get an in-game announcement and a 15-minute countdown. Extra restarts use the same warning if something cannot wait. Live notes go on the Changelog and Discord #announcements.

Action-bar spells only show the name?

That is Wrath’s Enhanced Tooltips setting. The launcher turns it on by default. Name-only: Esc → Interface → Help, or /console UberTooltips 0. After you change it, the launcher leaves it alone.

That is not TipTac (character mouseover). See the next question.

What is the name box in the upper right?

That is TipTac from the launcher addon list, not Unbot. It often sits over your buffs.

/tip anchor Drag the anchor off your buffs, then close it. Bottom-left is a common spot.
/tip Options. Under Anchors you can follow the mouse instead. /tiptac is the same. Enable TipTacOptions at character select if /tip does nothing; /tip anchor still works from TipTac alone.

TipTac is recommended with Unbot so companion details can show on hover. Moving it does not turn bots off.

A mat is missing from the Auction House?

The window filters by your character level. Search by name if it is not on the first page. Stock is whites through epics and trade goods; no greys.

Can a mixed group queue battlegrounds?

No. Battlegrounds and arenas stay same-faction. Queue PvP alone or with same-faction friends. Mixed groups are for PvE (dungeons, raids, Dungeon Finder).

Personal Bank won’t open / still looks like marbles?

It only works in a city, inn, or other sanctuary — not in the open world, while dead or in combat, or for playerbots. Close WoW and let the launcher update if the icon is still the old Goldshire marbles picture.

It is the same item as the Elwynn quest Gold Dust Exchange (Remy “Two Times” in Goldshire). You can only carry one. If you already have the Locker item, that quest still completes but will not give a second bank.

Experience Potion has the wrong name or no timer?

Open the launcher with WoW closed so the client patch can update. If you already have the old no-timer buff, drink another potion after that to start the countdown.

Do starting zones have mailboxes?

Yes, at the new-character spawn in Northshire, Coldridge, Shadowglen, Ammen Vale, Valley of Trials, Camp Narache, Deathknell, and Sunstrider Isle. Stock Wrath starters do not.

Do I need the Locker vanity pet to loot?

No. AI companions auto-loot. The random vanity pet and the spell/profession companions are optional. Only one vanity pet or trainer companion can be out at a time.
