Jame's Leveling Guide: AddOn Version - Works in Progress

I finally got a new character high enough to test my Storm Peaks guide (Horde) and made some revisions. Its in the package with my guides for Zul'Drak (Alliance and Horde) and Sholazar Basin (Alliance and Horde). I have deleted all of the older files, so any links below this comment will not work anymore. Here is the new link. Thanks for downloading my guides, hope they are helping. My newest character is almost to Outland, so it will be a little while before I do any more updates, unless anyone finds any problems and tells me about them. I'm also working on an Icecrown (Horde) guide, a guide for Hunter Pets, and updating the Alliance guides for 3.3 (I've gotten through the 20s).

Hey guys,

I'm back on WoW, now that my PC is working again after 4 very long months. Also its getting cold outside, so thats another good reason for wow

I was surprised to notice that progress here with the addons has stagnated

Nobody on it anymore?

Finished my Sholazar Basin guide. It's in the package with all the others. I've got some other stuff I'm working right now, so I'm putting Icecrown (Horde) on hold. Hopefully I'll get it done by the time 3.3 is released.

I've completed new guides for Zul'Drak (both Alliance and Horde). I need some testers please. You can download them here. In the zipped folder are both of the Zul'Drak guides and my Storm Peaks guide, as well as the appropriate XML files to make them work. Look at the Read Me file for installation instructions. Thanks to all of the people who have already downloaded my Storm Peaks guide. Hope you find it useful. You can send me a PM for feedback.

edit:
Found a problem in my post from yesterday. Fixed them and the link is now to the corrected files. If you downloaded it on Oct. 27, get the new one in order for everything to work properly.

I am currently working on the Blades Edge(horde) guide, but I am going to write it to be compatable with the 3.3 version of TourGuide which means that it will not work properly until the patch. This is due to the new quest history api that will be provided post 3.3 and the changes in the way TourGuide recognizes quests in response.

After Blades Edge I will then start on the other horde guides and release them when they are all done or the patch comes out(whichever comes first).

For those that want to know; every step that is related to a quest MUST have a QID tag.

ex:

N Thunderlord Clan Drum|Q|Thunderlord Clan Artifacts|QO|Thunderlord Clan Drum: 1/1|N|To the southwest, inside the hut. (40.17,58.34)|

N Thunderlord Clan Drum|QID|10524|QO|Thunderlord Clan Drum: 1/1|N|To the southwest, inside the hut. (40.17,58.34)|

I do not intend to do the alliance side at the moment so if someone would like to do that it would be great.

I wrote a guide for The Storm Peaks (Horde), if I did this right it can be found for testing here. Anyone wanting to do an Alliance guide is welcome to use anything I have written that is for both Factions.

For those of you that don't know, Blizzard has added the ability to see your completed quests in 3.3

Tekkub has already added this to TourGuide in his latest build.

This will make it MUCH easier to get Loremaster, among other things, though i already have Kalimdor(pita) and Eastern Kingdoms

Hi, i just wanted to ask what happened to my Tauren guide... the new one included in the zip doesn't in clude class quests or hearthstone and has some flaws here and there... not to say it's bad, but it's lacking some of the work i put into the old one and it's annoying that the effort i put in that just disappeared.

Hellfire peninsula has wrong coordinates for the signals in the valley next to falcon watch... the coords for the south beacon are XX,36 instead of XX,30 or something, i'd have to look it up my self. it's a minor mistake but however it cost me some flying around.

In Azshara, Delivery to Archmage Xylem, it doesn't tell you that to get to him you need to talk to Sanath Lim-Yo to teleport up to where he is. That might be something useful to add as it's a tad confusing if you haven't already tried Sanath before.

I've tested Snowflake's 1-12 Draenei Guide, and Sven's 12-20 Bloodmyst Isle Guide!

Did find the following errors:
67% through Snowflake's Guide for the quest "All that Remains", there was a waypoint that leaded to Exodar, which should be leading to the NPC "Cowlen", in the very south of Azyrmyst Isle, on a bridge.

So far, I'm level 20 with 9 hours and 35 min /played!
I will be posting more, along when I level up. So next step, Boston's 20-30 Guide !

your doing Loremaster? i am 640/685 in kalimdor and i have no idea where the quests are.

oops meant to be a reply to jiyambi's comment below

I will be testing Snowflake's Draenai Guide with a warrior. If I discover any problems, where should I report them to?

I've transcribed Jame's horde guide for Blade's Edge into tourguide. The file can be found here http://sites.google.com/site/bladesedgetourguide/

another azuremyst issue is that cowlen is in the zone "the veiled sea", so tourguide says "No zone provided, using current zone" and directs you in the wrong directon

I'm hoping it works. I think I have a 70 that can go back and go through it, but if anyone else could give it a run I'd appreciate it. Youcan dowload it through the link in the list above, or from here. Please place this in the appropriate addon folder. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hey guys, I'm finally back and love to see that my guide made it into your shiny, new (for me at last) addon.

testing the addon with my druid I found some flaws:

snoflakes azuremyst guide is missing some draenei only quest flags

the quests are:
You Survived!
Medicinal Purpose
An Alternative Alternative

the problem is that then the notes have to be overhauled for draenei and non-draenei also.

I won't edit that myself because it feels too complicated and I'm not that into the code yet. Instead I'll check my guide portion of the addon now

Edit: I managed to solve the problem.

I feel obligated to point out that the optional Silithus guide(horde) still directs you to itself, instead of Hellfire Peninsula, when the guide is finished.

Hi folks.

I'm working on compiling a new addon version. Unfortunately, some of the guide updates linked above are not functioning properly. Specifically, links from Boston's 20-30 to Jame's 50-60, on the Alliance side. The user who uses morrisland.com needs to either re-upload or fix the links if you want them included in the update. Sorry about that!

by the looks of it the Death Knight AddOn Guide looks great, other than the fact that I can't seem to get it to work. so perhaps to resolve the situation you should put it up with the rest of the finished downloads.

I'm having trouble downloading the half-finished DK Alliance Guide I clicked download then save then I saved to the Jame's Alliance add-on leveling guide folder in the addon folder but when I restared Warcraft I could not find the guide in the list of guides giving you you in the interface --> addon section of the in-game main menu. please help if you can.

Jiyambi, you made the comment about all the Achievements that you can get in the guide would be great, right?

I just uploaded the newest version of Alliance Borean Tundra, including all the points you need for the Exploration Achievement.

But I have been thinking......I know, scary.

What if I add the reading and "squirrel," fishing, and pest stuff into those. Is that overkill? I can see both sides of it and I'm just curious. If you think it's worthwhile, I can get in touch with Tekkub and see if there's an event that's fired within WoW that can have an automated step in TourGuide. Again, is that worthwhile, or just overkill?

My biggest fear is that I only have one more toon to go through and I'd need to do a "S.W.A.G" swing at the LUA before I went through with my last toon.

Let me know......

James

The guides that are linked to morrisland.com (ie. Boston's Leveling Guide (20-30)) aske for a login. Is there a place to get these updated .luas that doesn't require special access? Thanks!

Just uploaded a revised draft of the Alliance Hellfire guide. As usual, my goal was to run through the whole land without having to check off any objective or open my bags to complete a quest. The changes to the guide were mostly to add item buttons and auto-complete tags to the existing quests.
