Wow All Day

Author: Scott Holmes

World of Warcraft is an exciting MMORPG game that is absolutely filled with quests that you can do to gain levels, money and reputation with dozens of different factions.

Beginning with level 1 you will be offered quests to help get better armor and weapons and the better equipment you have, the easier it is to survive in the World of Warcraft environment. Often times you can accomplish several quests at the same time or at least in the same areas. The trick is to know which order to do these quests to get the most done in the least amount of time. This can be tricky at times, especially when you are dealing with “chain” quests.

Chain quests are a string of quests that tie together. You do the first part of a chain before you are eligible for the second part. Once the second part is turned in you become eligible for the third part and so on. These chain quests are usually a good way to build your reputation with whichever faction you are questing for and generally have a pretty good prize for finishing them. That prize may be a new piece of armor or a weapon and money. Sometimes the quests in World of Warcraft only pay money but that money comes in very handy for buying potions, buying materials to raise your skill level in a trade or saving to buy things that are expensive, like mounts.The higher your level, the more money you earn with each quest.

If you are looking for an exciting way to explore the many different areas and fascinating creatures of Azeroth then log into World of Warcraft and start questing.

If you’ve been playing World of Warcraft at all consistently over the last two years, you’ve seen the way the game has been moving toward more casual play. By this, I mean that there are fun things to do at all levels, without the need to spend many hours or days to achieve anything. The idea behind this drift seems to be to attract and retain more casual players, people who can’t or won’t put in the amount of time and energy a hard-core player will. Considering how many people now play the game, this strategy has clearly worked to get people involved. But some people are wondering if having lots of casual players is good for the game itself, as well as for the hard-core players. Here’s a breakdown of the situation.

The Positive Side of the Casual Trend   Probably the best thing about the more casual style of play is that it causes Blizzard to make sure to add lots of fun things to the game.. Changes like Achievements, lower level requirements for mounts, less XP to get to the higher level content, along with the large number of events held throughout the year all add a lot of depth and detail to the World of Warcraft universe. For hardcore players who spend large blocks of time repeatedly playing through the same area over and over trying to get a new epic shield, pair of spaulder, it keeps you from getting stuck in a rut and adds some depth to your gaming days.

The Negative Side of Casual Style Play   The trend toward casual gaming has drawn away from resources Blizzard previously poured into raiding content and things for more devoted players. Surprisingly, the highest level raid for Level 80 players is significantly easier than the top raids for Level 70. Raid sizes are now 10 and 25 men as well. The top-end Players who reached Level 80 days after the expansion came out are left with PvP or Achievement grinding if they want something to do as they wait for the higher end raids that will eventually come to the game.   What Casual Play Means for World of Warcraft

In the end, casual gamers coming to WoW is good for everyone. It brings in new revenue and as long as Blizzard maintains quality levels and puts the necessary resources they should into the game, they will be able to maintain a steady flow of new content for all level of players. It might seem like the faithful are getting shortchanged, but it is the price we have to pay to give the company the resources to develop new content in the future that might not otherwise get the go ahead.

Pain, agony, suffering… also known as “leveling in the World of Warcraft.”

Say what? Ok, to be fair, the first time, or even the first few times, leveling characters in WoW is a kick. Many of the quests are clever, fun, interesting, and have a good story behind them. Of course, some are little more than an excuse to kill off a bunch of Raptors, but others have a lot more detail, story, and humor.

Still, like any story told more than once, if you’ve done the quests several times they get old. If you’ve leveled many characters they might be really old. Trying different races doesn’t help, since they all do the same quests once they get into their teens. If you’ve leveled many characters you might even find it … painful. Doing it yet again becomes somewhat unattractive.

People do the leveling grind anyway because the end game content is so good and because their friends are already there and/or they want to try another character at that level. .

Playing different classes helps to alleviate the tedium, since the strategies and abilities are different, but still, it’s all been seen before. PvP might help here. Twink out your character a bit and run around ganking other players. PvP adds a level of interest to the game, especially when the players that you’ve been ganking get some pals and look for revenge. But PvP doesn’t help you level.

In the interests of avoiding further pain, agony, and suffering, here are the four best ways to get leveled fast:

1) Buy a level 70 character off ebay.com. This character has the levels and probably has the gear and might even have some cash (gold.) Take some time to learn to play and develop your skills. Of course, the one downside here is that Blizzard will ban you if they catch you, since this is against their Terms of Service.

2) Buy a power leveling service. Pay some cash, they level the character for you. Come back in a couple of weeks and you have a brand spanking new 70. What could be better? There’s just the small issue that this is also against the Blizzard ToS and they’ll ban you if they catch you. But what’s several hundred dollars down the drain?

3) Instance grinding - Find some high level character who is willing to take you through the many instances in the game. He will clean out the dungeon (kill everything) for you while you get the experience and the choice loot dropped by the bosses. Quite legal, quite boring, and you’ll have to work on your skills when done, but it’s fast.

4) Treat yourself to a WoW leveling guide. These guides provide you with a step by step path, already done by experts, that will take you from level 1 to 70 as quickly as possible. All of the “what to do and where to go” info has been provided ahead of time. All you have to do is follow the path provided and you’ll level up faster than you ever have before.

Then once you have good WoW leveling guide in your hot little hands, try this: Get a friend to open a new account. As of this writing Blizzard is offering a promotion where if you invite a friend then you and your friend will get triple experience for monsters slain and quests performed!

Team up with your friend. Duos level faster than singles anyway, due to less downtime and faster slaying, now add triple experience to that and you’ll see the levels fly by faster than ever before.

There are some conditions, so read the Blizzard FAQ page, but if you have a willing friend this is a killer way to go. Heck, if you have enough computing power you might be able to do it with two of your own accounts and run them both on the same machine.

Now, no leveling guide, for WoW or any other game, will be a magic pill that will poof you right to 70. It won’t get you leveled to 70 in mere hours of in-game time, since you still have to deal with all those monsters. It will, however, show you a well thought out, fast and efficient path that will get you leveled in as little time as possible. Even if your game time is limited to a few hours per week.

Assuming that you’re still bored, or in agony at the thought of more leveling, one thing that will help is to play energizing music in the background (no suggestions here since my tastes are likely way different from yours.) This will help keep you awake and motivated.

Some people who are skilled at multi-tasking have even been known to watch movies or read books while leveling! Sometimes however they also find themselves parked in a cliff face, due to having dozed off or the book/movie being really good.

The bottom line is this - save your sanity and invest in a World of Warcraft leveling guide. Not only will you keep from losing your mind, you’ll save many hours, even days, on the leveling grind. And isn’t your sanity worth it?

Let’s face it,  Wow tips are a dime a dozen in World Of Warcraft forums. Unfortunately, many of these suggestions are offered by players who have little or no real game experience. This article will reveal successful Wow strategies that have withstood the test of time, and have been implemented by many champions.

Strategy 1) Perform as many quests as you can, all at the same time. Quests must never be performed one at a time. When players enter a new map region,they must proceed to the main town first. After that, talk with all the NPC’s, obtain all the quests, then they can continue to explore. It is a point of fact that  some quests are a waste of time.They often make you  spend an hour or more running back and forth from different people. It is often in your best interest to quit quests and select other ones. Your time is too valuable to spend on useless quests.

Strategy 2) Make sure you use groups properly.This is one of my favorite Wow tips. Grouping can really speed up your power game, but execute it only when you have to. About a quarter of  quests are group quests, and to try to do them yourself is a big time waster The exception would be if  you wait until you are a few levels higher. At that point, the quest becomes green. For the balance of the quests, you can go it alone. Be aware of these stipulations, though. Many groups are inefficient.    A group that messes around or continues to die trying to finish a quest will bog you down. You are in a better situation going it alone in this case. If you are a Shaman, or a Paladin, or have a fast method of self healing  and mele both, you should probably spend most of your time soloing.  Warriors and other types that mele well are better off in groups because they can’t heal. Also, priests and mages are better suited to groups because they lack armor function. Groups can be beneficial, but they must work efficiently.

Strategy 3) This is one of the  Wow tips  I give the most often: Honor Kills; stay away from raid groups just for honor points. You will gain almost nothing. Solo or a normal party is a better choice for getting the most contribution points. Being in a RAID will decrease contribution points down to the barest minimum for each kill.

I hope you received benefit from these 3 proven Wow strategies. I know that when I first started playing, I would have appreciated helpful  Wow tips.

So you like chasing monsters, you need action and never pass off a chance for some adventure and yes, you play World of Warcraft because it is an exiting and original game, this is exactly the reason it is still that very popular online role playing game. It is such a unique game because of it’s multiplayer online format. The fact that you need a  PC to play this game makes it perfect if you want to create some art work with World of Warcraft as the main theme.

Art pictures, a way to remember

This game is very dynamic and there will always be moments that you are in a situation that will not happen again but you would like to have something to remember it by. Being a role playing game that is very, as said before, dynamic not found in other games. The perfect option in this game is that you take a snapshot of those moments of the game that you would like to take a look at later on. If you have an editing program like photoshop, gimp or something else why not create some art pics of World of Warcraft? Some would say that you are involved with the game but those people just do not understand the pleasure one can have from playing an online game. So never let yourself be discouraged by anyone if you want to keep some screenshots of those perfect moments you spend online in the World of Warcraft.

Need to settle a dispute

If only the online world would be better then the offline world normally is, but it is not. So as in the offline world there can be times that you need to settle a dispute with someone else, and having some screenshots to prove your point and case can be very helpful in those situations. There will always be people that will say that those pictures can be fabricated but an official that has the power to make decisions and who is unbiased will know what those pictures are worth.

Some of the other places

Why limit yourself to only your art pics of World of Warcraft of your online sessions? If you do a search there are a lot resources where you can get other art pictures, you will be amazed at the amount you will find. There are a lot of picture galleries where you can find graphic and art work from other players and a lot of times they are free of charge. Why not do some trading with other players, find forums online where you can post your screenshots and show the online community what you have achieved in World of Warcraft.

Maybe you want to have some nice artwork as your desktop background but you are not that artistic or creative, then you could always take a few screenshots and ask someone who has those capabilities to create a desktop background for you so you can look at those nice moments of your online live when your desktop is visible.
