Jame's Guides to be Revamped
As soon as patch 2.3.0 goes live, the WoW-Pro team will level through both Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide and Jame's Horde Leveling Guide to adapt them to the new changes that have been made. Everything will be updated from scratch.
- "The amount of experience needed to gain a level has been decreased between levels 20 and 60. In addition, the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60."
We will take this into account and we think that this will greatly decrease the amount of grinding sessions in all guides, especially the horde beginner guides.
- Many elite creatures and quests in the level 1-60 experience have been changed to accommodate solo play.
Jame's guides included a few of those quests that required 2 or more players. We received feedback that this was slowing down the leveling process, especially lately as less and less players visit the old zones. Those quests will now (most likely) be doable solo. In addition we will include all the elite quests we left out previously, if they are doable solo after the patch.
- "Dustwallow Marsh: Many new quests have been added to the zone. The Steamwheedle Cartel have just completed building the new town of Mudsprocket in south west Dustwallow Marsh."
We will include those quests and we'll remove all annoying "gap filler" quests and grinding sessions that we initially were obliged to use at that level range.
If you'd like to have a look at the patch notes yourself: please follow this link.Although we have level 20 characters ready for both Horde and Alliance, it will take a few weeks to change all the guides. So if you have some spare time and want to help us with this, please send a private message to Snowflake. In any case, I encourage everyone who uses Jame's guides after patch 2.3 to post comments and tell us about possible changes. The more input we get the faster we'll update Jame's Guides.
Great job
I just want to say great job on this guide. I have leveled 2 characters with it and I'm working on a third. Great job guys!
I can't wait to see the changes to the guide for Dustwallow, I'm holding off on a character until you have that in.
Thanks Jame
hey m8 first of all thx for the good guide it helped me allot
but still got a question, when will the new guide come out ?
because i started to lvl a mage now he's lvl 30 but the first quest Highperch Venom in theramore i can't get that anymore because she left theramore she's in auberdine and blizzard removed that quest.
hope you can tell me when the new guide will be added

We will reveal the release
We will reveal the release dates soon, keep checking the news page in next 2 or 3 days
Level 70
Will you also be adding a guide for level 60 to 70?
Don't forget new flight
Don't forget new flight spots in Felwood and STV
Elite or non-elite, that's the question
Following Quests in STV don't involve any elite-killing anymore since patch 2.3
Raptor Mastery, Tethis is a regular lv43 mob now.
Panther Mastery, Bhag'Thera is a regular lv42 mob now.
The Eye, Gri'Lok is now a regular Ogre, lv45.
Colonel Kurzen, all the mobs in the cave are non-elites, including Kurzen
Bang'lalash, for the Great Hunt, however, still is elite
In Loch Modan, the ogres have become regular mobs, so the mercenaries quest is easily solo'able. The boss still is elite.
A couple of quests involving killing in the mine before the instance at the deadmines could be included in any guides, since all those mobs are regular ones now.
So far a few of my additions..
Where are the elites??
It really is terrible that the elites were cut out because yes it was a pain, but it encouraged people to interact with oone another for something other than instances. I couldn't tell you how many times I was running around STV when out of nowhere I stumbled across a 40+ elite then got killed. Yeah I wasnt thrilled by any means but I learned to be on my feet and I didnt get bored as easy. I must give props to blizzard for putting the flight path at the rebel camp though it has been needed forever.
Skookey
Mok'Nathal
since patch
All in all a great guide, however the WPL/EPL quest section could easily be replaced or at least suplemented with silithus quests. I managed to level my gnome mage to 60 in almost exactly 5 days played (a personal record by many, many days), and only had to turn in one silithus quest. The guide did a great job of including quests that I simply had no idea existed. There's no need to grind outside of completing quests, and by all means do the Duskwallow Marsh quests in the mid 30's. Running instances wasn't even an issue, I caved in and ran ZF (the only run I participated in)
Format wise, the explainations having different numbers than the map key was at times a little confusing (especially due to the amount of alt tabbing that I was doing). Otherwise, and once again, a great guide that has changed the way I approach leveling on nearly every front.
:)
nice to hear about this
I got a lvl 38 ud warrior right now and I'll post some stuff in the comments while I'm going on with the old guides..
keep it up
THanks
Just wanna say that its good to see the guides being updated for the new patch.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work. It's highly highly appreciated!!
Is it possible for you guys to keep this old guide?
first, i would like to say AMAZING GUIDE! second, I love the idea of you guys updating this leveling guide but also, can u guys keep this old one? rather than replacing it with the new one. I asked because from my own opinion, i like getting rep from all factions, and this guide right now is amazing! got my warrior to level 70 in a month and also exalted with 3 major cities! unless WoW also makes reputation gain from each quest increased then I guess you can just ignore this section.. lol
As long as you are updating
As long as you are updating the guides there is something that could help in general. For the parts having the maps with the numbers on them and the explanations below. You could add a number 1, 2, 3... in front of the explanation that correspnds witht he map to make it a little easier.
Draenei / Blood Elf Quests
In certain places in the guides (such as the Hinterlands) Draenei / Blood Elf Ambassadors have been added and harbour aditional quests, most of which also take you to the places the current guides locate you to, will these ones be added?

It will be done yes. I'm
It will be done yes. I'm already doing this on my more recent guides
A small other question ...
Great guide, btw
I use your fantastic guide to level a char of each class next to my main. I only play on rested xp and so I am quite often a bit ahead of your expected level. Could you please mark those quests which are not part of a chain and which are not needed later in your guide as optional, if the current XP is beyond the suggested level? That would help my style of play a lot
Everytime I tried to skip anything, because I was ahead, it got much more complicated later on, and so I do it in the order you suggested and sometimes have to search for the suggested quest givers, as the "!" is not shown anymore because of my higher level 
Would be great
Is there a chance...?
Is there a chance we can get something to help guide those of us who don't want to go right to the Outland at 60, but instead finish the original end game? I know running Scholo isn't really necessary anymore, but I'd love to see some of the original content!
Keep it up!!
Jame,
Please keep up the good work! Your leveling guides were priceless to me. I have created a new toon and want to keep using them! Can't wait for you to update them!
Although many that use your guides may not say it -- know that your hard work is not going without appreciation!
And please keep the guides FREE!!!
Keep it up!

Dustwallow Marsh
Since there are a lot of new quests in Dustwallow Marsh, will you be adding that to your guide?
Administrator
yes
Yes, we will include the new quests from Dustwallow marsh. We will also include all the other quests, which were previously elite and that I left out of the guide, whenever it is possible.
May I ask though, is will
May I ask though, is will Hosho's guide to the barrens still be fully compatible to this new guide? and also when will there be a possible release on this new updated guide, as I got my undead rogue to level 19 and will be doing wailing caverns and might possibly stop to wait for this new guide to come out.
Administrator
It is already being worked
It is already being worked on, no release date yet but it should be rather quick
You guys rock!
Yeah, I've used this guide for 5 characters now, and I realized I never said thanks. I know you get it a lot, but I really appreciate the time being taken to provide these guides free of charge. Keep it up
