Five Reasons Why I Love My Wow Leveling Guide

I just came across a WoW Leveling Guide and it really changed the way that I play. I used to be fairly conservative, only fighting when I had to and grouping whenever possible, but now that I’ve followed my leveling guide I don’t need to be a wuss anymore. I went from level 9 to level 61 really fast (faster than any of my friends who were the same level), and I didn’t play any more than I normally would.

So, I’ve compiled a list of reasons why I love my WoW Leveling Guide (and you will too!):)

1.They make me look like less of a noob – When I am following a leveling guide I always know exactly what I should be doing and when I should be doing it. To the players around me, I’m always the one that knows what’s going on. I never wander around aimlessly, looking for my next quest or trying to figure out where to go next. I’m in control because I know what to do.

2.I know what kind of leveling I can expect – All of the good guides out there tell you what kind of levels you can expect to gain when you follow them. Now, admittedly, some of the free guides can be a little tricky, but hey, considering their price I think they’re still really good. All of the guides that I’ve paid for have always been dead one, hence why I never have a problem paying for them.

3.I know the importance of certain quests and items – This key in any MMORPG. Knowing what you’re doing is important, but knowing what kind of equipment to have and what kind of items to obtain is equally important. I can’t even remember how many times I would have sold some really valuable items for less than they were worth if it weren’t for the guide.

4.I learn really cool “tricks of the trade” - Knowing all of the insider tricks and strategies is worth the few bucks I paid for my WoW Leveling Guide. I know that there are many free guides out there that get into similar details, so don’t think that you need to pay for a guide to learn some cool tricks. But, if you can afford it, they help!

5.Longevity is important to me – A good WoW Leveling Guide will help you get your character set up so that not only do you level, but you also build a strong foundation that will you to have fun while leveling. I’ve had experiences in other games where I’d reached a high level focusing on one skill set, only to find out that I’d built a very high level but inefficient character. Buying a WoW Leveling Guide up front helped me avoid the frustration of starting over because my character was too weak to handle the end game.

A good WoW Leveling Guide avoids this by giving you tips on how to build a good overall character from the beginning to the end.

I’m sure I could think of a few more, but I think those 5 points addressed what I had to say. I need to mention that I have noticed a difference in the quality between a free leveling guide and a paid one. You can usually find what you are looking for with a free leveling guide, but it will take more time and effort to put all the information together. With a paid WoW Leveling Guide, it is right there at your finger tips, easy to find and understand, so you can spend more time leveling.

World of Warcraft, also called WOW by gamers, is an online massively multiplayer role- playing game (MMORPG).

Around twelve years back, Blizzard Entertainment developed a game called Warcraft, a single/multiplayer adventure game, which went on to become so immensely popular that they added two more Warcraft games, and World of Warcraft is the fourth game in the series. As on May 2006, World of Warcraft had over 6.5 million active users who were paying around $ 17 a month each to play it. That works to over 110 million dollars a month in subscriptions!

How World Of Warcraft Works

The World of Warcraft game takes place in a virtual gameworld called World of Azeroth. The storyline is fantasy-driven and like fantasies go there are many colorful and freaky characters in the game.

To play the game you have to choose a character from a variety of races (human, night elf, orcs, dwarfs, trolls, and more), and having chosen your race you have to decide what profession to take (hunter, paladin, rogue, shaman, warrior, and more).

Once you get into the game you are Level 1, the objective being to reach Level 60 while having a lot of fun adventuring around and gathering the best possible armor and weapons in the process.

To add to the fun there are friendly and hostile non-playing characters and also player characters that assign you quests, and then, of course, there are the enemies you have to slay in order to level up.

World Of Warcraft Gameplay

World of Warcraft is not ranked the number one MMORPG game in the world for nothing. It features two main gameplay varieties, which are : (1) Player versus Environment: When a player adventures in order to level up, he comes across game-generated enemies as well as other players who are against his race. (2) Player Versus Player: This is played only in specific areas where players can fight against other players, and such areas are level-specific.

For example, there might be an area only for players at levels one to twenty; if you are at a higher level, you cannot enter.


Finding Out About World of Warcraft Guides

One of the quickest ways to get ahead in a game is to learn from experienced players. This is where World of Warcraft guides come in - experienced WoW players who have been there and done that can share their expertise with newcomers.

World of Warcraft guides can help you on the quickest path to level up your character, and gain gold and rare items. WoW levelling can be time consuming, difficult and - frankly - boring. Speed levelling is the main aim of many new players, eager to start the real challenges that only high level World of Warcraft characters can access.

There is a wide range of available World of Warcraft guides. From the very basic high level overview, through to incredibly detailed step by step walkthroughs that cover all relevant aspects of the game. There are detailed guides for all character types, and whether Horde or Alliance you can find a guide to suit your needs.

The usual way to gain levels in WoW is by grinding. Repeatedly killing the same enemies or completing the same mission again and again is known as grinding. Although you can gain lots of experience and some loot by grinding, it is incredibly boring. Faced with having to grind to gain a few more levels, many players despair. The grind in WoW removes all the fun of the game and quickly puts off newer players who aspire to own rare loot and compete in large, challenging raids.

World of Warcraft guides choose specific quests to help you gain the most experience in the shortest space of time. Focussed on solo play, a side effect of most guides is that they teach you a lot about the mechanics of the game, helping you become a more accomplished player. By understanding the more arcane and complex parts of WoW, you can quickly master the more challenging quests.

The real question is - why do you play the game? Is it to meet up with friends? For enjoyment? To escape the pressues of life, living within the fantasy world of Azeroth? Why waste your game time grinding away on the same boring quests and tasks, when you could be enjoying the real risks and rewards of high level quests.

Reaching the higher levels within WoW is becoming more and more difficult for the casual player. By using a World of Warcraft guide you can easily enjoy the high level, more challenging aspects of gameplay, without sacrificing your personal life to the game. Good luck!


World of Warcraft Tips - Improve Your Game

World of Warcraft (or WoW) is at the moment one of the most popular online role playing games in the world. You can logon anytime during the day, or night for that matter and you will find hundreds of thousands of people already inside the World of Warcraft servers.

All these people are grinding, questing, selling items, and basically trying to get their characters to level 70 in the best time possible. In some cases, it could take you a few weeks to reach level 70, for others a few months but, it can be done in days when you know what you’re doing.

Your WoW leveling speed is all up to you. It’s up to you on how long you play the game and it’s up to you on how you play.

If you can only put in a couple of hours a day then don’t expect to get to level 70 very quickly, the more you play obviously depends on how good you get with each new experience will could find an easier and quicker way of doing things. Two of the main ways you can gain experience and start levelling up quickly are grinding and doing quests.

So, a bit about questing. Questing involves going through some predetermined quests or tasks given to you by non-player characters within your game

While some of the quests can be easy for example, “Kill xx number of a certain type of enemy” other quests can turn out to be a bit more difficult and may involve travelling between more than one map while performing numerous tasks to finish the quest.

Quests are really what World of Warcraft is built around for its main storyline. Quests also strengthen the game by adding a lot of interaction between you the player and all the non-player characters in the World of Warcraft game.

What’s grinding. Well in simple terms it is easiest to say travelling around the WoW map looking for enemies to destroy.

You can go and attack groups of enemies which can have a high experience or you can go and seek out lots of enemies that you can defeat quite quickly.

Although this method can lead to a great deal of experience very quickly, it can also get a bit tedious and quite boring when you have to wander around the World of Warcraft map trying to find groups that will fit into the right criteria.

Also, you will not be able to stay only on one map and hope to be able to get to level 70. When your character begins to increase levels and gain experience, the groups that you were previously getting plenty of experience will begin to give you less and less as time goes on.

These fading returns stop you at around level 20 from gaining any further rewards by killing enemies that are levels lower than you. The time you will spend travelling from map to map will also slow your levelling speed.

Although grinding can and does help you reach level 60-70, it must not be your main focus within World of Warcraft.

Questing is the almost always preferred by players, including two who have been able to reach level 60 in almost record times.

Questing can also be great fun and add excellent experience in your play, going that route to reach higher levels in World of Warcraft will not only get the player to level up a lot quicker, but it will make your game a lot more enjoyable in the long run.images4

If you are reading this, you already know what World of Warcraft (otherwise known as WoW) is, and why it is so important to have gold in World of Warcraft. You use it to buy everything, and without it, there is limited to no fun in the game! It can be a challenge to acquire gold, but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite easy.

Following are some of the most important things you can do in World of Warcraft to ensure you will be absolutely overflowing with gold and the envy of every player you encounter!

WoW Gold Tips:

Tip 1) Even when you enter World of Warcraft as a level 1, get bags. All that you can carry. If you have a high level character already, buy the biggest bags you can and send them to your new character. This is a simple and easy to understand step that most people fail to use!

If you have all 4 bag slots filled up right away, you can:

A)continue questing without having to return to sell off items so you will level faster .

B) More importantly, be able to make much more gold as you will not have to delete items to make room for others. You can sell all your loot when you return for maximum profit even from the very beginning!

Tip 2) Even though crafting professions (Leatherworking, jewelcrafting, tailoring and blacksmithing) are temping to pick up, avoid them like the plague!

If you want to drown in your own gold, pick up two gathering professions! For example, get herbalism and skinning or skinning and mining or mining and herbalism.

Then, SELL THE LOOT YOU GET! The Auction House is always alive with activity and buyers trying to get their hands on leather, ore and herbs. People are LAZY, or they simply don’t have the profession required by their trade skill! So, you’re the hero they needed to deliver the goods to them, and you pull a hefty profit at the same time!

*The above alone is one of the greatest techniques there is to massive gold earning! Seriously… try it.

Tip 3) Ties closely to the previous tip, but often overlooked as well. This tip can alone can also earn you substantial gold income in World of Warcraft.

Now, enchanting is often seen as a crafting skill stated above, you want to avoid these, right? Well, not when it comes to enchanting! You just won’t use enchanting to Enchant! “Huh?” It’s simple… think about it.

As you know, when you get a rare drop in the world, you can disenchant it and get the dust or diamond used in enchanting out of it. Instead of using these to enchant your own items or others items, SELL THEM ON THE AUCTION HOUSE!

That’s right! People are always wanting enchants, however most people do not enchant… and most enchanters don’t have the materials required to make the enchant that people want! So what do they have to do?

Check the Auction House! This is, again, where you are the hero and in exchange for your “heroics” you get a large profit margin! Cha-Ching! Gold ahead! So save your rare drops and sell the disenchanted remains instead!

Earning gold in World of Warcraft is not as difficult as it seems. With the tips above, you are more than well on your way to being the envy of your entire server!

The World of Warcraft trading cards were released in 2006.  Since then, their popularity has increased. Now, there are quite a large number of different packs available for card traders to collect.

World of Warcraft Gold-Profitable Trade Skills

World of Warcraft players have a lot of activities available at any given time but what about the times when you just don’t feel like questing or are waiting in the queue to get into an instanced dungeon? That is a good time to raise your trade skills in WoW.

There are several different trades available to gamers including tailoring, skinning, leatherworking, blacksmithing, engineering, enchanting, herbalism, jewelcrafting and mining. Tailoring is a good skill to take up, particularly if you are a cloth-wearing class like a priest, magician or warlock. Looting most humanoid monsters in World of Warcraft, gives you a very good chance of getting pieces of cloth that can be tailored into cloth armor and various other valuable items such as bags. Bags sell very well in the auction houses that can be found in most major cities of Norrath. Cloth may also be found in chests or awarded in World of Warcraft quests.

Skinning and leatherworking kind of go hand in hand. The corpses of beasts may be skinned to provide leather for the leatherworking trade. Hunters and shamans wear leather armor until level 40 when they can start to wear mail armor. Rogues and druids use leather armor for their entire careers. Leatherworkers can craft leather armor, ammo pouches, quivers and other useful items.

The mining trade is performed by using a mining pick on nodes of ore that can be found scattered all over. Blacksmiths use metal ore to make chain and plate armor and weapons. Warriors and paladins wear mail armor until level 40 after which they can wear plate. Death Knights begin their careers at level 55 and so always wear plate armor. Engineers use mined ores to make all sorts of handy gadgets. Jewelcrafters use ore to make jewelry and prospect ores to acquire gems to ply their trade.

Herbalism is the art of picking various plants that can be found in all World of Warcraft environments. These plants can then be fashioned into potions to perform a number of things including restoring mana and health. Enchanters can add statistics to improve armor and weapons. They can also disenchant items and gain valuable materials for more enchantments.

Each of these skills has advantage and disadvantages and some can be difficult to get to grandmaster status but there is a great deal of World of Warcraft gold to be made if you stick it out.

In the world of World of Warcraft, the real magic lies in creating macros. By using macros, you can enhance and personalize your gaming experience. Once youve created them, you can bring up all sorts of nifty little commands with just the touch of a button. And probably the best thing them is that you dont need to be a programming expert.

Creating a World of Warcraft macro is as simple as typing /macro or clicking on the talk button and selecting macro. Doing either of these things will present you with a pop-up box listing your macros.

The first time, of course, the list will be incredibly short. Because, you know, you wont have any macros yet. That will change very quickly, however. Since there are any number of web sites that will give you detailed instructions on exactly what you need to do to add macros, well end the instructions here.

The point is that macros can increase your enjoyment of the game and you should use take every advantage they offer. For instance, lets say you are exactly the fastest typist in the west.

You can make a macro that repeats text for you so you dont have to face the mind-numbing repetition of typing the same thing over and over again and over and over and over again. Yeah, that repetition can be a real buzzkill.

In addition, you can use macros to repeat text for online auctions. You can also create macros that will perform a list of commands. World of Warcraft macros can do many, many things.

And heres the best part. You dont have spend time thinking up all the wonderful things that macros can be used for.

Fortunately for you, the world is populated with a seemingly unlimited number of people who apparently have nothing better to do than figure out how to create macros that do things you would probably never even have thought of.

The world of World of Warcraft macros is already more populous than the town of Springfield. (The one on The Simpsons.)

In fact, you may find yourself spending more time at first tracking down useful macros than you will learning anything else about the game.

Just be aware that some sites will give you access to their macro scripts with little fuss or trouble, but many of the more comprehensive sites require that you register before you can get access to the really cool stuff.


imagesIn addition to gathering gold, farming will enable you to gather experience and eventually level up as well. This is an important aspect of the game as level gaps can make a huge difference between winning and losing a battle with the enemy. But for some, levelling up is a very difficult task and sometimes no matter what they do, they can’t their levels high fast enough. If you are one of those who are having trouble in the game, then perhaps World of Warcraft Guides can help you in your quest.

World of Warcraft Guides will show you how to effectively level up in the shortest amount of time necessary. They show you where you should farm at certain levels and what your item stats should be to maximize the efficiency of your character. At the same time, World of Warcraft Guides are there to provide you with the most important information there is, which is what to expect after you take a step forward.

Most beginners fail in missions and quests because they lack the experience to know what to expect. World of Warcraft Guides provide you with that information so you can better prepare for what’s to come your way.

The battle for Azeroth wages on. Threats come in from different directions and you should be prepared to defend yourself and your territory. This means you have to level up quickly so that you can match strength and power with the enemy. World of Warcraft Guides will help you do just that.
