If you need guides for any other level range (or race) please check out this page.


Suggestion on how to use these guides (from PraterR):

I found that playing WOW in Windowed Mode feels very comfortable while following along with this guide.
The guide will be open in an internet window.
You then Alt-Tab to your WOW game. (Log in and enter game world)
Press escape and access your Video options. Near the top there is a checkbox with "Windowed Mode" inscribed next to it.
Check the Box [x] and press okay.
You will notice that you can move and stretch your WOW window in such a way as to see the internet guide above or below it.
When you need to click the internet window and scroll down or up (depending on how you want to view it) to the next paragraph of the guide.

Now my wow time is up and I have a 60 prot pally .. i wont get to level him to 70 sadly using your guide .... but you own and that you took your time to make this guide I give you an imaginary reward!!!

Keep up the work ... I'll try to do something in return for you!

im new to these guides but..

do these guides come with addons like where u can have the addon in the game because when i installed the game i didnt have enough RAM which makes it hard for me to go from the game back to the start menu...when i log out it takes ;iek 5 minutes to go to the character screen..so is this guide in an addon format so i can view it in the game or do i have to keep coming to and from here..if so i might just print it out =] thanks

Member

Thanks a lot :)

I've always hated levelling, at least 40-58. (have two characters left in those levels)

Well, I decided to Google some levelling guide since I thought that it would be faster. Now, since I've got my first horde character to 70 I can only thank you.(Drood in ~7 days played)
The best thing of this guide was that I didn't have to use all my time in "thottbotting" the quest help. Also the fact that there are lots of more quests that I never knew made me happy.

First off I thought that "Well, I try to level to 58 with the guide and then start doing the Outland quests" - but since the guide was SO GREAT I had to just level to 60 in Azeroth and use the guide till 70.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting the epic mount (or form ^^) when I complete all the Outland quests.

I've to say that I can barely think that the chargeable levelling guides are better. This is just very good one. Hopefully u had fun making this though, I couldn't believe free guides like these even exist.

/Muhkea moos and thanks a lot. Smiling

This guide has helped me

This guide has helped me level very quickly, for me. I have recently returned to WoW after nearly 2 years away, new account, started from scratch. 12D17H to lvl 70 for basically my first character, and thats taking the time to get professions above 300 as well. Great guide, awesome. Thanks Jame

Member

Thanks friend.

Just wanted to say thanks for making this guide. I'm leveling my 4th 70 using it (He's 69 now), and it's just so easy.

I've always hated leveling, but your guide makes the entire process like one long quest. Thanks so much for your contribution to the WoW community!

Nothing you haven't already heard. Laughing out loud

Member

Thank you, Jame of awesomeness!

Dinged my first 70 today (Undead Rogue)! I found the guide to be incredibly helpful, and very well thought out. I took a little extra leisure time to bg and run a few instances, but managed to utilize the guide from 21-70. I used the quest tracker addon and it helped expediate the search for certain quest items/mobs, it complemented the guide perfectly. I just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work!

Guide with instances.

Heya Jame Smiling
First off, great guide. Started my Tauren Druid on the 21-31 one (29 atm)and he's powering through the levels faster than I could have ever imagined tbh Smiling

One thing though, it could be an improvement actually? I've also ran a few instances with a few guildies whilst following the guide, and have found myself to be well, near enough dead on track woth the guide - I've only had to skip one section so far (the run of Stonetalon at level 27). I haven't been killing everything I have run into so that's also another area I'm losing out on the exp and so the instance is keeping me 'topped up'.

Anyway, I thought maybe perhaps you'd be interested in either accomadating more group play and socialising in-game into your existing guide or adapting it into a second version for those of us who love to instance and such. The gear looted on the runs only makes the leveling go that much faster Sticking out tongue

Either way I'd be glad to offer any feedback regarding this as I believe it would benefit more people - getting to use the awesome guide without sacrificing other social aspects of the game means smiles all round imo Smiling

I'll think about it, sadly

I'll think about it, sadly for now I've to focus on revamping the alliance guide and do extra level 70 quest circuits for gold making Sticking out tongue

Hehe well if you'd like, and with your permission of course, I'd take up the challenge Smiling
Would be great to give something back and help others out more Smiling

New Priest

I have religiously followed your guide to 70 with my partner and we loved it! (Both hunters) Now I am trying to lvl a priest with it and I keep running into spots where something just seems too hard. I die almost constantly and I'm wondering if it's just my ability to play the character, or if this is a common concern of others?

I can't really say. I've

I can't really say. I've leveled a priest (shadow) and followed my guide and died very rarely. Are you properly specced and geared?

Best Guide on the Net

I am now using this guide for my third playthrough. Both previous times I leveled faster, more efficiently and easily by using the guide. Now I am on my third go and am beating both of my previous /played records. This guide makes it simple and hassle-free to level up. I have used guides that cost money such as Joana's, but if you look at what those are really based around, they are not for a typical, any class run through the game. This guide, however, is a blueprint for quick and efficient leveling. I can't thank you enough Jame for making this guide. It has been a great help to myself and thousands of others.

The Guide

I've been using this guide since 21 and I really want to thank you, it has been so easy. Since I dont have to worry about looking up quests, figuring out what to do next or anything like that. Thank you, and i'll look forward to seeing you in northrend.

Thanks

James,

As a veteran player (3+years) i want to tell you how invaluable this guide has become to me when leveling alts ( alliance and horde)

It provides a nice overview of where to quest at what levels while i dont follow it to the letter ( im usually ahead of the leveling curve)it gives me a good direction when i notice my quest log beginning to empty.

3 days played and just hit level 49! ( hunter Sticking out tongue)

Thanks for all your work.

Why would you not want to

Why would you not want to talk to the mob inside to finish it? Once you talk to him you get 8150 xp from EACH totem quest. If you don't go talk to him you're just throwing away 16300 xp.

Member

Thank you for taking the

Thank you for taking the time to write these guides. Without them I wouldn't have been able to keep interest in WoW as a casual player as it takes too long to get a 70 without knowing anything about the areas. I've gone from 23-65 entirely with your guides, can't wait for Chapter VI.

Deadwood Ritual Totem Quest

If a Deadwood Ritual Totem drops while doing the quests in Felwood and Winterspring. I'd recommend you take the quest that goes with it, because by the time you're done with the L57 part of the guide you'll be neutral with the Timbermaw and the quest will be complete. Just delete the quest after you complete it, No need to talk with the mob inside the path from Felwood to Winterspring to 'finish' it either.

EDIT: I thought I posted this in the L51-60 section. Can this be moved there?

Member

No, don't drop it.

Having a quest marked as "Complete" in your log does not mean you are done with it. You still need to turn it in, you just can't turn that one in until you hit Neutral. Turning the quest in will give you 700 more Timbermaw rep and 8150 xp. Why would you not want to turn that in?

Somewhere mid-march, sorry

Somewhere mid-march, sorry guys can't make it faster, quite busy atm. Sad

Member

Very nice

No problems there. I still have about 8 pages of the 60-65 guide to go and I have a new alt to start working on. I should be plenty occupied until mid-March Eye

For the Horde?

Hey Jame, any ETA on the 65-70 guide for Horde? I've been using the 60-65 with great results so far; I'll be pushing 67 when I'm done with Terokkar thanks to running a few instances and always having rested bonus. I can't wait for the final installment. I should have not only SMV and Netherstorm to do at 70, but a good bit of Blade's Edge I imagine.

Member

Hey,

What time are your 65-70 horde guide coming out? Smiling

Thank you Jame

Thank you Jame for all the hard work you've put in to these guides! This will be my 3rd 70, but thanks to your guide this one has been leveled much faster than the first two. I have followed your guide since level 21, and I am really looking forward to your 65-70 horde guide. Thanks again!

Do you have any(incoming) or can suggest any Nagrand/Blades Edge/Netherstorm/SMV guide?

I think Jame planned on making a Netherstorm/SMV farming guide once he's done but that might take a while.

Great Stuff

I just decided to roll Horde after leveling 3 alliance to 70 (2 of them followed your guide) and decided to use your guide for *edit* Horde. I wanna say great work Snowflake, you have a great style when writing the revisions I enjoyed them a lot. However as soon as i entered realm of 60-65 I could tell I was back with Jame again. You guys both are both very good at what you do, and the whole experience was like I had done all this horde business before!! (which i have not)

One thing I would like to say, I understand why outlands take along time, because so far reading thru level 60-65 the quests are kinda like how I ran them without the guide... but the order you put them in just makes so much more sense.

One thing about the revisions... It's a shame in some ways we dont get to run the instances as a manditory step because the instance guides you write were amazing too.

I babble... Thanks for the hard work and see you in Northrend Laughing out loud

Member

Sweet

Hey, thanks a bunch for this guide. You get pretty much everything Brian and every other con artist claim to have. And best of all...You have an actual Horde guide!

Great guide for a group of 3!

Jame,

I would like to thank you so much for taking the time to write this guide. My two dormmates and I rerolled a Warrior, Rogue, and Paladin. We picked the guide up at level 21 after going through Ghostlands with no troubles.

I just followed the guide word for word and had my group follow.
We have not yet fallen behind, in fact we are usually half-way into the next level when you say we should ding.

Wish you included some of the really good EXP group quests, but this is meant for solo play anyways.
Just wanted to let everyone who is wondering about this guide or even if you, Jame, needed some hard data.

Group of Warrior, Rogue, and Paladin(Ret) are pounding out levels with ease, and haven't fallen behind. This guide supports quest groups too, not just solo play.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your feedback,

Thanks for your feedback, I've never heard reports on my guide with groups of 3+, so it's welcome Smiling Really happy to hear it works well.

Great guides!

Just had to drop by to say thank you.

I've leveled 2 chars side by side with these guides, another being at 60 now (still getting AV marks for the mount) and the other I got to lvl 67, tho your guide says 'ding 65'.
Most likely because I followed the (old) guide in Azeroth until I was lvl 61½. You have very good and easy to understand content in your guides all along the way.

Now waiting for lvl 65-70 content, and as I've leveled chars to 70 before without guides, I clearly understand how much effortless it is with a guide like this. Playing in windowed mode on widescreen monitor, switching every then and that to see what's next on the list. Ah! Simple life. So thank you for your effort to make our leveling experience easier. ^^

Jame's Leveling Guide

I recently opened a new account and decided to level up yet another hunter on the horde side. I can usually level myself rather quickly and have never had issues in the past, but I was pointed at this guide and decided to give it a shot. Long story short, I went from level 22 to level 29 over the past few days with very little time spent actually levelling. I would say that I spent 50% of the time doing auction house scanning, in transit or crafting. This guide is VERY effective. I even found myself doing quest chains I avoided because of either difficulty or annoyance of the PVP around me.

Nice work. I'll more than likely use this guide throughout.

Sadly I've been so busy lately I didn't get time to do speed runs to try it.

It should be somewhere in between 6-8 days /played.

As I mostly play on rested mode,
I am now level 53.
I did level 52 in 2 hours 16 minutes and couple of seconds.

Totally I think I have played with the guilde for about 5 days or so.
can't tell exactly, but an average for 2-3 hours is what I have per level.

This looks really Awesome! But....=(

I have a lvl 25 War right now, i've been following another guide and i've been playing for like 5 days......

Because of how slow im leveling and how frustrated im constantly getting, i've decided to search for a new guide, and this is what i've just ran into.

Since im level 25 and im at Stonetalon mountains, where and how should i start on this guide?
