Hmmm, if they disappearedHmmm, if they disappeared from the list entirely that means you may not have the addon enabled. Check to make sure “Load out of date addons” is checked in your addon selection screen.

the addonHi there, i would like to know how on earth you reset the guides iv completed before. Iv done a little research and found that Shift+Click on the guild is ment to do it, i tried that and the ‘100%’ goes away untill i click on it again and its back and i cant load it lol. Also, all the guides i did complete e.g. grizzly hills. Have now disappeared from the guides list altogether. Would someone please help me out i want to get back to using this great addon again! Thanks in advance.

:DThanks for the replys I think im going to continue the Outland guide and finish up all the quests here and do the Northrend quests and get as much gold as i can Jeez those mounts are expensive well just to buy the expert flying training and guides for gold lol jk

Haha, I replied a minuteHaha, I replied a minute after you. You’re quite the devoted one, aren’t you? 😛

Keep questing in OutlandKeep questing in Outland until the quests turn gray. That way you’ll turn 80 pretty early in Northrend, leaving so many quests for juicy gold! You really won’t regret it. 😉

This comes up a lot. TheThis comes up a lot. The reason you are so far ahead of the guide is that Blizz changed that leveling range, making it significantly easier to level 60-70 in Outland.

As to when to go to Northrend, it’s really up to you. Definitely stay in Outland until level 70. At that point, if you aren’t tired of the content, I would just stay in Outland until the quests/mobs before gray to you or until you finish the guide. If you are sick of Outland, though, don’t torture yourself with it – just head to Northrend 🙂 Keep in mind that the longer you stay in Outland, the more Northrend quests you’ll have available after you hit 80 to go towards money. Also staying in Outland helps if you want to do those questing achievements.

Leveling GuideHi I am a first time poster LONG time user of these guides, first of all I Would like to say that these guides work incredibly well and I would like to applaud the creators of the guides for the time consuming hard work and dedication that they have put into these guides.

I had a question though, I started the leveling guide at level 60 with three bars of rest however I am now on the level 65 part of the guide and I am halfway to level 69 and I just got done killing the giant spiders. And I have only done Ramparts once, and BF once, I also three manned setthek halls last night. Should i Finish out the guide and hit Northrend or just go to Northrend at level 70? also could it be that my shoulders give me an added 10% Experience.

Also I would like to say that last weekend i was able to get 3 levels using your guide Thanks alot!

Problem wit guideHey jame i have been recently playing wow and decided to start you guide at level40, which is the bad lands. when i have to go to STV the quests that i need to do are already done,what should i do?

That section of the guide isThat section of the guide is currently being revised, and that error will be fixed (it’s due to missing zone tags). This may occur in other parts of the 20-30 guide section as well, so be aware.

Stonetalon Mountains GuideOkay, so I’ve been using the guides for awhile now, and let me just say that I absolutely love them. They have helped a great deal and have made leveling so much easier. 🙂 However, I have noticed an error in the Stonetalon leveling guide in the addon. Don’t know if this is a TomTom/Tour Guide issue, or if this is something with the leveling guide itself, but when you get to the point that directs you to Ratchet, the marker (and arrow) lead you into Stonetalon Mountains, the exact opposite direction of where Ratchet actually is.

The coordinates are spot on, leaving the arrow/map marker the only issue with this specific step that I have noticed.

Just thought I’d let ya know. 🙂

Whoops!Oh sorry about that, i didnt see that page.

Thanks for the help! 🙂

It’s no bother ThoseIt’s no bother 😉

Those levels are *recommended* levels. Basically, if you are jumping into the guide, find one in your level range where you have not done quests yet and follow it. If you are continuing from following the paper guide, then just start wherever you left off.

Even if you get a bit ahead of the guide, this is really okay. Just stay with the guide, Tour Guide will automatically take you to the next section once you complete one. Only skip sections if you start doing gray quests or killing gray mobs (or if you really really hate a zone!).

YesThank you, that did help I was confused. So even though its broke up like that Ex. 31-41 and it has like 4-5 places your supposed to bounce around, so this is also correct? So if it says 31-41 James Guide BadLands (44-45) so i go through at 44 and stay till 45 then go else where? Lol, sorry that i’m bugging. Thank you.

Look at the front page,Look at the front page, download TomTom, and Tourguide from the link awesome-o Jiyambi gave us and then load the game and click “Load out of date Addons”

Impossible to complete atImpossible to complete at level 8? Could you explain?

I have two suggestions forI have two suggestions for talent trees over here I suggest using the Unholy one though.
1.[url=http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deathknight=23050215300033032012231013500000000000000000000000000000230230302003210000000000000000&glyph=251008040506&version=9757#]Blood Build[/url]
2.[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jZG0xZfMbIxcdgcqMcsut:qrbM0z]Unholy Build[/url]

And as for pestilence use that, then use blood boil to cause damage, and use it when taking on groups of mobs, if you have the unholy build use Unholy Blight as well.

I’m assuming the screenshotI’m assuming the screenshot is just old. The guides you describe are how it’s supposed to be. Jame’s guide had to be broken into smaller sections so that it wouldn’t take forever to load and so that it could be organized by zone. It also makes it much easier to jump in part-way through.

Hope this helps.

Horde/Ally guideI downloaded everything i needed and its working but one thing is weird. I’m in game and open the guide to select a guide and theres like 15-20 James Guides I got like 4-6 that says 31-41 but then next to the name it says ( 31-32) and next one says 32-33 but it still says James Guide 31-41. Does this mean its still 31-41 but i only stay there for 31-32? If that IS so, how come the screen shot of james in game guide is different? He has 4-6 James x-x Guide. Mine has like 15? Why is this? And i downloaded everything off this site. Can anyone help me figure out why all these circuits are broke up like this and not orginized like james screen shot on how to install the guide? Ty.

Death Knight (Alliance) Talent tree
Hi there,

I just found your Death Knight Leveling Guide which is GREAT! Thank you! I noticed that, with the new patch, the Unholy tree is different now and I’m not sure how to re-apply my talent points. For example, the first talent point was to be applied to “morbidity” but now, with the new patch, “morbidity” requires 5 talent points already in Unholy before you can apply one to “morbidity”. Can you please update the talent tree advise in your guide so it applies to the new patch?

Also, with “pestilence” no longer doing damage – what are your suggestions for when and if applying that talent?

Thanks so much for the great service you do for us WOWers.

Best,

Talamoth

Patch 3.1.0So Patch 3.1.0 came out today, and i noticed that the addon for your guides doesnt work anymore, as it is outdated. maybe i just have to update lightheaded? for now i will go back to using the text guides but if you know any way to make them work or have any plans to update them then let us know.

thanks again for the awesome guides and the addons 🙂

Beginning Guide and AddonHey Jame,
I’m new to using the whole guide thing, but I’ve noticed that the Guide for Elwyn and the beginning is almost impossible to complete near level 8 as a Mage or Priest.

I was wondering if I am ble to make a Priest and Mage guide for all beginning of races for level 1-12…So it is easier for new players to level as a caster.

This section was only justThis section was only just compelted this week, and hasn’t been included in a main release yet. You can download it from the [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/wiki/addon_in_progress]Works in Progress[/url] page.

51-60 addonHey Jame and Writers,
I’ve been using your guides for like 3 years. I recently re rolled to horde becouse by friends are playing there now, and i descided to use your ingame guides(addon). I just got to lvl 52 and realised: WERE IN THE WORLD ARE THE REST OF THE GUIDES!!! Lol. When are you going to make the 50-60 addon guides becouse now im stuck for a while at this lvl=(.

I would probably have stopped playing if not for your guideI just could not figure out how to get places and quests that were level appropriate and still see the world so to speak. They at least owe you one for me.

Jame has always been prettyJame has always been pretty committed to the original version of his guides, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about 😉 The addon will however contain class quests and such, which is a nice bonus feature that Jame will probably not put in the paper guide because it would clutter things up.

Hi Jame, these are greatHi Jame, these are great guides. I’ve been playing since summer 2006, and i found your guides somewhere about a year and a half later, and they helped me level a few alts faster then I could have ever thought. My friend thought he could beat me to 70 one time, but I won so he had to buy me a mongoose which was part of the deal. One question, you said something like you’ll upgrade your guides as you put them in addon form. Will they also be upgraded in the paper form? I’m wondering because I prefer the paper form, just because I like reading ahead. I also like them better because I think they are more useful in some parts, like where you say do two things at the same time, or give specific instructions. Will the written version be obsolete after your finished?
Besides that, great work on the addon, even though I’d rather use the paper form I tried out the addon and it worked great. Keep up the great guide writing!

Hmmm maybe you missedHmmm maybe you missed something because this normally should not happen. If not, you could just take a grinding session till level 28 or look at the paper version of the guide, see when you have to complete the quest and just come back later and take it then.

Slightly behind addon leveling guide.I am loving this ingame addon, it is perfect and I have leveled very fast…but I have been sent to pick up a quest in SW from alter boy Thomas in the cathedral and I am not able to pick it up as I’m under level required. Obviously required level is 28 and I am 68% through level 27.

What should I do?

Thanks

My thanks alsoI just wanted to chime in and say that I’ve been playing WoW since the beta, but my main alt is only level 45 due to lack of time (I’m a working mom) and a lot of time wasted wandering around instead of efficiently leveling. I had also pretty much given up on WoW.

But since I started using your guides, I’ve had a lot more fun, and leveled a lot more quickly. I really appreciate the detail and the tips (and the addon).

The link to the releaseThe link to the release dates is on the front page, in the very first article called “TOP LINKS” 😉

Dont laugh too hard
YouDont laugh too hard 😀
You avoided me for running around like a chicken without a head.. doing the same circles again and again and again.. feeling stupid and loosing the touch… and I’m telling everyone I know about yr guides. (have been playing since oct 2006.. ;))

Now I was looking for the post where you have the list of next releases, but cant find them right now :S
Just wanted to suggest you hussle them around and release first the guides you haven’t posted yet.. the latest Northrend ones I mean, before you do the reviews of the old ones and the old add-on ones.

I’ve found a mate who has been there and will help me get the last level.. but it would be nice to do the rounds and get the achievements in ‘your’ way.. (and not my chicken way :P)

That’s what I like to hearThat’s what I like to hear 😉

Blizzard probably owes me a few hundreds of subscribers, mwahaha!

Addon versionI was really bogged down with Wow and was not enjoying playing anymore. A friend of mine put me onto Jame’s Leveling guide and I have been powering along and really started to enjoy playing again. It must have taken a huge amount of time and effort to set this up and I really appreciate the effort. Thanks Jame.

Definitely not. The guidesDefinitely not. The guides are designed to be good enough without rested. With rested, you will probably be ahead of the guide – which is a GOOD thing! As long as you aren’t killing gray mobs, just keep with the guide even if you get ahead – doing green quests is actually fine, and you get them done so much faster so there’s really no reason to skip ahead.

Anyway the point is: rested XP is good, these guides are just designed so that someone who is leveling very fast and has no rested XP can still use them.

I just startedI just recently started your guides and was just wondering if rested xp would screw up the process. Thanks and you did an awesome job with these guides!

* I followed the addon* I followed the addon version*

Yeah I died once and got lost for about a min or two but nothing that significant. I guess I just thought it was the zone because everything is so spread out even though options of transportation are there. I thought it was just those time consuming quests like the The falcon one along with the ship bombing quest that would take longer than other quests but maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Hmm no, for me the xp/hourHmm no, for me the xp/hour is about the same between the two zones. You must have taken AFKs or something?

Is it just me or is howlingIs it just me or is howling fjord just not a good zone to lvl in exp/hour wise? I barely hit 320k >.> when in tundra i was doing +450

The addon – some comments on Zul DrakHey Jaime,

Simply put, I LOVE the addon. Started a new char just to use it and I love it. I was checking the parts on my main (80 paladin) and I reserved Zul Drak to wait your guide to make money at 80 (quest money and sell the rewards).

I was amazed to find a part on Zul Drak in the addon when it’s not on the website. I’ve done 45% of the guide so far and I gather roughly 200g per hour so it’s going great.

I thought you might need some feed back, here are a few glithes I encountered.

– The whole questline involving Stefan Vadu (the one with Drakuru), the waypoints for Vadu are often misplaced, we see 3 waypoints for him, revealing the positions he gets to during the questline. You might want to check that.

– For the quests ”Kickin Nass and taking Manes’ and ‘Invitiation of sorts’, there are 2 waypoints that are wrongly placed.

– For the quest involving the bombing of spider nests (forgot the name), the waypoint is misplaced).

I’ll keep on reporting these few bugs as I encounter them. Thanks for the amazing amount of work

I’ve got a similar questionI just dinged 80 on my main last night, and now I’m looking to bring up my alts. I’ve got a 45 Alliance Mage and I want to plug into Jame’s guide to speed up my leveling. It looks like the 41-50 guide starts out in Dustwallow, which I avoided on this toon after clearing it on my main. What would be the easiest way to jump into the path of the guide? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve downloaded the add-ons, by the way, I’m looking forward to trying them out. =)

Thanks!

I love you Jame!– I just made an account here so I could thank you for all your hard work making these guides! Also I thought I’d throw in an idea I had for your Storm Peaks guide:
– I dinged 80 in Zul’Drak, and with QH i finished all the quests in that area, and decided not to do anymore quests until all your guides are complete, so that I can finish the Northrend Loremaster achievements as easy as possible.
– However, I felt the need to complete the quest chain for Sons of Hodir reputations to friendly, and I’m a little worried that it will set me back a little when following your Storm Peaks guide when ot comes out.
With that in mind, I was wondering perhaps if those quests should be emphasized by having a green text-box surrounding them (or something like that).
– Many people (including myself, obviously)are saving zones for post-80 quests, and I’m assuming that I wasn’t the only one of us that bothered to finish this particular chain.
– This would probably make it easier to either do this chain seperately, or to skip it for those of us that are saving the zone, but who have also finished these quests!;)

– Please don’t see this as a request or demand in any way. Just an idea.
Your work has already helped so many wowheads that I don’t think that anyone is in a position that will justify asking you any extra favors. Ignore this idea if it would mean extra (mehh….) work.

Love from Norway 😉

Zul’Drak?When oh when will the next step in your awesome leveling guide come out? It’s perfect <3

Yes,

The quest has indeedYes,

The quest has indeed been removed from the game.
Did Onyxia’s Lair a couple times, very fun, especially without the attunement needed. Recommended.

Marshall WindsorThe quest “[54]Marshall Windsor” from Marshal Maxwell (and possibly the whole quest chain starting with “Dragonkin Menace”) at the Alliance Outpost, Burning Steppes, is no longer available. The following is a comment found on Wowhead:

“This quest is no longer in the game due to the fact that there will be no requirement for Onyxia. Patch 3.0.2”.

Would be good if others can confirm this.

Cheers,
