Cataclysm Alliance & Horde Leveling Guides! (1-80)

Thank you :)I just started up WoW again (stopped mid-lich king era) and started on a new character to join some friends.  They’ve been playing for a while, and in about a day I’m at 42 on my shadow priest.  Thanks a bunch 🙂 Also, the Eastern Plaguelands seems to be alliance only? it tells me to go to Chillwind, when I don’t think that’s the greatest idea – so just skip a few steps.

What about old versions?Hello i love this web and it’s guides. But i have a 3.3.5a patched wow so most of the guides could not be used there… Where are the old guides? I suppose they must be stored in some old webpage… Anyone knows that?Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time toThanks for taking the time to comment 🙂 It’s always nice to hear from people who are enjoying our work!

I love your guides!!!You guys are fikktiging AWESOME!!!!! i love your guides and i stumbled onto them on accident looking for a leveling guide that i would buy. i saw WoW-Pro.com and i decided to check it out when i found out it was free i nearly freaked!!! Keep up the great work espeacially with the addon. I used your “Alt-tab” guides until you guys came out with the original addon. it was fairly simple and easy to use but i love the new one so much more and one more thing KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

This has helpedThis has helped tremendously!! thanks so much for this guide!

If anyone does want anIf anyone does want an overview of what our addon does, there is a youtube vid on our addon page: https://wow-pro.com/addon

Great News!Thank you very much for the feed back, I am glad you enjoyed the guides!

Love the GuidesJust wondering if people could post a review on James Horde Leveling Guide? I found one at (WKJezz- Removed link as it is a shameless Zygor plug) and it was awesome but just looking for a second opinion.. I’m always looking for Horde leveling Guides.

Ah okay. So, was this theAh okay. So, was this the Horde version then, or the Alliance? I’ll look into it.

Hmm I don’t think so. IHmm I don’t think so. I hadn’t actually done any quests in the zone at that point.. literally spoke to Thrall then entered Deepholm.. once I got into the zone the first quest it tried to give me was “Into Stonecore”, checked the guide and it was about 100 quests in!

Hmmm, I’m thinking you mustHmmm, I’m thinking you must have accidentally skipped a quest rather than manually checked it off. Our guide is set up so that you can skip a step and it will know what other ones to skip after it.My suggestion is to right-click the title bar or guide frame edge, and in the menu that pops up, select “Reset Guide”. Make sure you *right*-click any steps you want to manually complete in the future.This feature has caused a lot of confusion in the past so we may change how it works in a future update.

AzaraelwowThis happened to me twice, the first near the end of arathi highlands and for about 20minutes in blasted lands, my recommendation would be to either just continue w/ blizzards quest helper to the end of that zone, or to try re-installing the addon..

I am not an administrator for this site but both of these methods worked for me…

Trust me, this small hastle is well worth the time you will save by using the guide

ThanksThanks for the great guides, my rogue just hit 60 after only 23 hours played!

P.S. the addon worked flawlessly!

Problems with addon.I just installed the latest version of the addon but am having problems which are effectively rendering it unusable for now.So I just entered Deepholm and the first few quest steps were fine. Then I noticed that it has sent me half way across the zone to get the next quest. Checked the list and half the quest steps are now ticked off as completed although I have not done them. Attempted to untick them so I can get back in the right place to continue.. and I can’t. If I go to the end of the ticked quests and untick that one it works but if I try to untick the one before it, it just reticks the one I just unticked. GAH. Then, it puts an overlay with all the quests over the top of my screen and I can’t see or do anything (have to log out, I can only see the logout button because I know where it is)Please help!

All the starting zones areAll the starting zones are complete in the addon, if you’d like to try that until we get some “paper” guides finished!

I have not yet started on theI have not yet started on the Undead starting zone, but I am currently running alts through the low-level zones, preparing for the guide writing.As I said in my recent [url=https://wow-pro.com/node/3331]blog entry[/url], I will try to have most low-level guides ready by early January. Do not be overly disappointed if they are not published by then, as I will work continuously to get them finished. I am playing cataclysm myself, and as there are a lot of exciting end-game content and season 9 upcoming, I am also busy with these things, not to mention that this week will (surprisingly) be pure hell in school.

Undead Starting Zone Guide (Cata)Hello !
First, I wanted to thank all the guide contributors and especially Jame for making such wonderful guides which I have previously used and will use in the future.
I would like to know when will the Undead Starting Zone guide will be updated for Cataclysm, any ETA ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Yes, I’d love having someYes, I’d love having some Goblin-fun! I’m actually thinking of making guides for starting zones (1-5) for all classes that do not yet have guides, and then I’ll move on to making regional zone guides for levels 5-11. Example: “Durotar 5-11 leveling guide”, or “Dun Morogh 5-11 leveling guide”.I think I’ll make some sort of post or blog entry later concering my upcoming guides. And yes, it’s great to be back! 🙂

Awesome to see you aroundAwesome to see you around again, Maw!You are welcome to take on my goblin guide, and to do the 5-10 part if you like – I’ve sort of abandoned it.

For some bizarre reason theFor some bizarre reason the leveling book was moved into the class guides book. I fixed it.

Starting region guides?I see that guides for levels 11 and above are either complete or works in progress, and my contribution to these are therefore most likely not neccessary, but I could make guides for the uncovered starting regions, if there is such a demand. I will most likely ding 85 on thursday or friday, and after that spend the weekend on new content. Next week, however, I can more than likely take my time to go through the starting regions and make guides for them. If this is something that is okay for you (just throwing it out there), please let me know.

Good! I couldn’t rememberGood! I couldn’t remember where it was, but found it by backtracking from my Durotar guide. lol.

Helps a ton, thank you,Helps a ton, thank you, didn’t even remember we had that page ^^

Jame, did you find this page?Jame, did you find this page? https://wow-pro.com/leveling_guides/cataclysm_leveling_guidesMight help?

Manovan’s Troll GuideJust wanted to mention that the Troll guide is currently being reworked into a full Durotar 1-12 guide with the perspective of a troll character. The guide won’t be closed so you will be able to read it and follow its progression, but it will look like a total mess soon enough.

However, I would like to know if demonco who said he’d code it a long time ago is still up for the job. If not, I will remove him from the list of helpers. In addition to this, I want to mention that I may only be able to work on the guide during weekends, so I can’t give a good date on when it will be done. Hopefully next week but no promises.

Edit: Oh, I noticed there was a 5-12 Durotar guide that is perfectly compatible with the Troll guide already. I suppose there’s really no need for me to do this. I’ll move on to Tirisfal Glades then.

😛

Durotar Guide should be readyDurotar Guide should be ready for use as well.

I’ve updated this list andI’ve updated this list and removed all guides with old information. I’ll be updating this list as new guides are written, but if I forget, please leave a comment!

To all the guide publishersCan I just say, long time guide user, 1st time poster, your guides are awesome! I’ve levelled 3 80’s using your various guides and am currently working on a hunter (74 and just tamed Arcturius :D) and a frost mage (thanks Kwaice)19 and storming through Ghostlands. I’ve recommended your guides to my guildies and I know a few have downloaded the addon version and they say the same, “how the hell is something this good, free?” Enough said I guess. Keep up the good work Jame et al

DoneDone 🙂

Could you replace the linkCould you replace the link to Taralom’s night elf guide with a link to mine please? When I wrote mine 1,5 years ago it was with updated quest circuits. Even though mine too is outdated of today’s standards, it’s still the newer of the two.

Summer vacation is aroundSummer vacation is around the corner, I’ll look into it in a week or so. That’s actually a pretty good idea, I’ll check if the guides are up to date. If they’re not, they will be marked as outdated =)

I’ll handle it, although I’ll have to complete my exams first. Guess I’ll run through ALL the guides next week and see if they’re dated or not.

I agree that this isI agree that this is something that should be done more often. But since there are no guide writing policies saying that it’s mandatory to do so, people tend not to think about it. But good post with a good suggestion. I’m sure guide writers will do this for future guides.

Version informationHi All,

One thing that I think could prove invaluable in the guide information is the version number of WoW the guide was written for. This would be a nice and easy way to check the validity of a particular guide as quite a lot has changed in WoW over the last 5 years. As well as giving users a steer on the validity of a particular guide for them it could also allow moderators to easily check and maybe mark guides as out of date for us.

Possibly this is more important for class guides than levelling guides but can still prove to be very useful and could be added into the guide selection screen of the addon e.g. Jame’s xyz guide (WoW V3.99). A side benefit of this would be keen guide writers could quickly see the most out of date guides and start working on them, keeping all the guides as up to date as possible.

I realise the guides usually (if not always) have a date on them but I think that this is a more valid and sensible way of noting the relevance of the guide than simply providing a date for the users to look at.

Thanks,
Gil

warlock guidehope this is the correct space – found your guide very helpful and will put it to the test.
For me it was easy to follower – thank u : :cheers:

Hi Newtimer, and welcome toHi Newtimer, and welcome to WoW-Pro. No worries, we all make mistakes. Unfortunately I can’t move your comment to the correct guide myself – however if you copy and paste your comment there yourself, I can delete this one for you 😉

Thanks for offering feedback, and keep it up!

[b]Edit:[/b] Saw that you copied the comment, so I deleted the one here.

Wrong guide… me is stupidSorry about my last comment, it was for the wrong guide (I was at the wrong page when posting…). I just hope the moderator catches that error, in which case this apology will not be needed. 🙂

fast lvlingI made my Character Sácer on Saurfang on wednesday, im already 34 (at the time i post atleast)
wowarmory link: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Saurfang&n=S%C3%A1cer (might say lower lvl then i am but its slow refresh timer….)

I’ve loved your guides inI’ve loved your guides in the past but the 3x experience gain would definately outpace your guides in a big hurry. Have you ever given any thought to writing up a Recruit-a-friend leveling guide?

It’s not so simply to make aIt’s not so simply to make a pretty good custom essay, first of all if you are engaged. I advise you to define buy essays and to be free from query that your work will be done by professionals

I’ve emailed Jame aboutI’ve emailed Jame about this, waiting for a response from him.

CataclysmWhat now? :O with the new cataclysm updates to the old content, will it be the end of the guide, or is starting all over again the answer? O.o

It workedIt worked wonderous!
Thank you very much 🙂

Press escape, go toPress escape, go to interface, go to the addon tab, find Tour Guide in the list. You should have an option that resets the box to it’s default position, which is under your mini map. From there you should be able to move it to wherever you want it.

Hope this helps!

Quest-box-thingie GoneHello, About the new patch that fucked everything up, I (stupid as I am) threw the box down below my spellbar. Now I’m not able to get my box up again, so that I can continue questing.

Help please :<

Clicking on “DuskwoodClicking on “Duskwood Alternative” under the 20-30 guides links to Boston’s 12-20 guide. Since there’s no mention of Duskwood in that guide, I’m hoping that’s just a mis-link.
Term Paper

I think he means aI think he means a warlock/druid combo as in 2v2 Arena, or am I horribly wrong here?

druid/lockwell im gonna assume u mean best leveling spec:

druid: without a doubt feral. balance is fun too but not as efficient as feral(for leveling). its cool for casting; plus at level 40 u get moonkin(which is awesome btw). resto is for healing(mostly for instances).

warlock: affliction. alot of people assume demonology but they are wrong(mostly). blizz made the affliction tree specifically for the LEAST amt. of downtime. this tree makes ur curses hurt more and cost less. most people see the demonology specc as the beast mastery specc for hunters, and it kind of is. but affliction remains as the best choice for leveling.

hope this helped, gl, cya.

ThanksThanks, this worked great XD

I would recommend doing aI would recommend doing a couple of instances, if you can get a group. Either that, or just kill any mobs that are on the way as you do quests. Eventually you will catch up.

A level behindI started this guide at level 33, however I seem to be a level behind in the guides. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to catch up on this level as fast as possible. Thanks!
