World of Warcraft Leveling Guide

Banned?!? Yep. Blizzard officially frowns on buying powerleveling, gold, or gear. If they catch you: Poof! You're gone. (read section 8). So if you don't want to risk your account you have to get leveled the old fashioned way.

But leveling in World of Warcraft can be a pain. I'm serious and here's why: the first time you run up to level 60 or 70 or 80, it's fun; obviously it should be given since this is a game right? Well, that same logic doesn't necessarily apply the second time, or the third, or the fourth... When you're doing the same, or very similar, quests over and over again.

Basically each time you feel like trying out another class, race, faction, or whatever, you're inevitably going to end up getting tired of the same old quest or monster grind to 80.

Sure, some parts are great fun, especially if you have a very different character, but others are just repetition. So how can you avoid the burnout?

I experienced the burn-out quite some time ago. It often makes leveling, grinding, or even just plain old questing, tough. Some ways to relieve this include taking a break, but often-times you aren't tired of World of Warcraft, you're just tired of the time wasted leveling that new character in an attempt to try raiding with some new character, that level 80 warlock or paladin, for example.

Especially if you don't want to play that character for several months first.

Don't make the same mistakes I made, please. In an attempt to solve the problem I essentially memorized every single quest and monster in the entire game, and I proceeded to force myself to level as fast as possible. It worked... somewhat.

In the end, I managed to make even the idea of touching a new character trigger my gag-reflex. Not fun. A much easier way to solve this would be to simply skip the torture of normal leveling and try out one of the many guides that are available (for far less money than buying a high level character.)

The easiest and best way to solve the whole dilemma of leveling burnout is to either make it so fast it doesn't matter, or make it so easy it's fun. Both of these are easily solved by picking up one of these helpful guides rather then wasting days, even weeks, of your precious time forcing yourself through the leveling grind; it's not worth it.

Zygor Sets a Blistering 1-80 Speed Leveling Pace

Zygor's Guide has taken the 1-80 leveling system and made it better, faster, and stronger than it ever was before by bringing it into a totally in-game system. For both Horde and Alliance! Don't want to have to play a Hunter to get to 70? Don't want to have to constantly switch between game and guide? If you play either Alliance or Horde then check out Zygor's Guide now!

Zygor's covers the entire 1-80 process step by step, with where to go, what to do, and no switching back and forth between game and guide. Also included are class quests, talent builds, a forums (for questions) and more.

It's not any the guide is a "magic leveling pill," though Zygor's is close. It's that the guide will show you all the shortcuts. It'll show you what to do and what not to do to get the most efficient leveling per hour, whether you're a hardcore gamer or play just a couple of hours a week (and congratulations on your resistance to the WoW addiction!)

Speaking of burnout: one thing that can help avoid it, and easily increase your fun time, is playing music. This is a great distraction from the grind that I've personally used quite a bit.

Some people read books or watch movies on their computers, or they might do a whole slew of other distracting activities while leveling. How can one do this? Just memorize all your movement and attack keys. Lay them out in such a way that you don't have to think much.

One problem is that this distraction often leads to slower kill times, and results in slower leveling. You might even find your face buried in a cliff, especially if you're reading a very interesting book! This would be why the determined leveler's solution leads back to the World of Warcraft leveling guide.

Some of these guides have the info will save you hours, and sometimes days, of your time if you had to look them up on some website. Things such as automatic waypoint setting, which make it trivial to find where you need to go, and enough detail about the quest that you never need to consult you quest log (or anything else.)

Beyond that a good guide contains quest completion tips where necessary. Wouldn't you rather know how to kill the dreadlord *before* you fight him, rather then die six or seven times before figuring it out?

Well, ok, the challenge is fun sometimes, but everytime?

Pick up a hot leveling guide and you'll have all this info, before that next quest sends you on too many trips to the graveyard.

Bottom line: save yourself the stress and hours wasted and the potential burnout and boredom and just snag yourself one of the World of Warcraft leveling guides. It will work better and faster for you in the long-run and is an inexpensive price to pay to save your sanity while leveling.

For the player who's brand new to the whole WoW game it can be intimidating. Definitely fun, but you're kinda lost and you haven't a clue as to what does what.

If you have an experienced player with you, that's great, but if you don't...

So this is one area where the leveling guides really shine. They're like the strategy guides for your favorite console games, helping your every step of the way while keeping things fun.

The top leveling guides have an addon which modifies the in-game system to show you every objective. This is amazingly handy and saves lots of time, since you don't have to research locations or bug people with too many questions.

As for your class or race the WoW Forums have a ton of info on whatever you want to be. It really boils down to what you like playing.

While you can buy a guide that will cover every last inch of any given class, for example, I suggest reading the forums and experimenting with your character first. Buy a class guide when you have a little experience and you're tired of wading through the forums.

Have fun!
