Luckily, the drink costs around 1.5g, so twinks on a budget can still afford them. This is truly inspiring, and I am going to start playing again just to grab this stupid whiskey. Someday...I WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST HP IN A BG!!!

R.R.B.L. Replacement!!!
This folks, is why you waste time on youtube. While checking out Roskmeg, Boglund, and , I came across a fantastic new item. It is called Halaani Whiskey, and it actually improves on Rumsey Rum! This drink is purchased in Nagrand, which is now opened up to trial accounts due to BC/Vanilla being bundled. Though only 3 can be held at a time, I think it would be worth it to grab a few sets and bank them (not sure if that's possible).

Alts
My favorite twink class will always be huntard, but I think it is time to make some new guys. Since my shaman dinged 20 off damned exploration XP, I will be making a rogue and priest. So far, the rogue is vastly OP, and the priest's shield essentially triples my health.
I chose these classes because they both have nearly all key functionality by level 14.
For the rogue, I want to make a kind of haste twink, with Berserking and Lifeblood as integral parts of a rotation. This would probably make combat the prime spec option.
The priest will be an FC or FC support. If I can get enough cash by level 14, I will stop in the lower bracket for the first time!

An Interesting Idea
Browsing around the WoW forums, I see that the trial twink concept is really starting to explode! There are probably 4 threads on the New Player forum devoted to this idea, and I found some external links in those threads that are worth checking out.
I had never even considered grinding for rep, but this twink acquired Ambassador! As one of the only titles available to trial players, I consider this worth the EXTREME amount of work. There is plenty of other information on twinking if you click around this person's blog, I have no clue who they are or where they play, but I do respect this player.

Bracket Choice
Sorry for the lapse in updates folks, I was on vacation in Florida! No internet for me, and I can't say I missed it terribly.
Today's discussion topic is bracket choice. There are 3 PvP brackets available to trial players: 10-14, 15-19, and 20-24.
It may seem obvious that the last choice there is foolish, as most players would be above a twink in level. However, that range of levels does not provide any truly key abilities, and twinking is extremely rare in the 20's. The addition of mounts at that level makes the game feel more complete, and several gear/buff improvements can be obtained at level 20. If you want to feel like a paying WoW player, this may be the bracket for you. Likewise, if you want to pump your stats up as far as possible, a higher level will always provide an easier path.
10-14 is a new division, built to reduce the effectiveness of twinking in low BG's. The idea here is to pick a class that gains an extremely OP spell either from a talent specialization or early on from trainers. It can be used to assassinate and decimate unsuspecting players. Another benefit is that gearing up in this bracket is extremely uncommon, and if one wears even full uncommon armor, he or she will have enormous advantage over almost all players in battle. The flip side of that, is that gear is nearly impossible to grab at such a low level, without the use of the dungeon finder.
Lastly, the infamous 15-19 bracket. Really, it should be called the 19 bracket, because lower players are few and far between. This range is the original twink arena, and will certainly pose the most challenge to any twink. As this is the objective of twinking, this is my chosen bracket, and the others are for relaxing after blowing up the legitimate twinks. Not much needs to be said here, as almost all of the blog deals with play at level 19.
Please comment with any ideas on class/spec choice in any of the brackets, and I will attempt to answer any questions related to gear.

Let's Start A Community!
So everybody has friends on WoW. Most of those friends like to do things together, so why not group up and twink around together?
I propose organizing on a chosen server, and adding each other to the standard friend's list (RealID does not work on trials). Twinks, in lieu of a typical guild, could use some sort of a clan tag system to identify themselves as such.
Right now, I am on Khaz Modan, but I'm open to switching off. If I am in-game, I will be in the Alliance capital cities, a dungeon, or a battleground. Feel free to find me in Stormwind (my main city) and /say something to get my attention. As trials are EXTREMELY limited in communication, that would likely be the only way to contact me, other than this blog, or the WoW forums. My character name is Bowhemian, though I am also leveling a shaman to twink -- Handell.
