Lack of starting gear

[CavemanTechandGamming]

After setting this up I'm having a problem with characters that aren't normally able to be that class starting without any gear or Hearthstone. I have tried a Orc druid a undead paladin and neither one of them started with gear or Hearthstone just a bag

I have definitely found there are a lot fewer issues with missing weapon skills and equipment if you:

1. Create a blizzard allowed character (e.g. Tauren Druid)
2. Log out fully
3. Race swap it in the database (update characters.race)
4. Log back in

It's less useful for high populated servers since it requires someone with database access but since the character is set up "officially" you:

• Get the correct weapon skills
• Get starting gear
• Get a hearthstone
• Are in an area that actually has a trainer.

It's not as good from a RPG/Lore perspective as you're in the wrong starting zone for your race but it's less buggy overall.
