You said that you have to be 80-85 to get heirlooms. On my first char ever (undead rogue) i played a lot of random battlegrounds and i got the pvp shoulders. It takes time but it was totally worth it :D. And btw great guide.
You can smooth the hard edges of a selection by feathering. Feathering blurs edges by building a transition between the selection and surrounding pixels. This blurring can cause some loss of detail at the edge of the selection.
There are three basic strokes when you sharpen-sliding the stone onto the edge, sliding it off the edge, or circular strokes. At the first stage, any of the three is okay, although sliding the stone off the edge makes a larger burr, which in turn makes it easier to detect. For the next step use a medium stone.) Sharpen until you raise a burr, and. 3) Hone or polish the edge smooth. Some instructions refer to the sharpening motion as trying to slice a thin layer or a decal off the stone. This is bad advice, and here's why: most people won't hold a constant angle this way.
