Most, if not all horde players with some knowledge of WoW have learned that questing is the most effective leveling technique. The effort put into running all over the place pays off with the acquisition of various items, the elevated experience, and the pure enjoyment you receive instead of just grinding. The debate between the two goes on and on, but the most important thing when leveling up faster is order. You can spend more time on the forums than in the actual game, but there are guides like Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide that will save you tons of time.
For someone who is perhaps just starting out and not ready to make an additional investment in the game, Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide is a great option. However, if he has a fever like many of us, then it’s worth paying $50-$60 to get a guide. Instead of simple screenshots and basic information, a top-notch guide is interactive, with videos and in-depth analysis that it would take you years to extract from forums and chat rooms. Let’s not forget all the clever and condescending responses you get from angry posters.
Any gamer worth their salt is aware that order is king, but the game is constantly evolving. What may have worked for you last week may not work this week. That’s what makes all of this so exciting and frustrating at the same time. The best guides have continuous updates that you are entitled to and you receive them much more efficiently than the rest of the world.
My favorite guide is Zygor Guides 3. Since part 1-60 of the game was redesigned from scratch and the level cap was raised to 85, ZG3 seems to be the only one that has been able to keep up. It has an easy to understand interface, step by step instructions, and has a good feel about it. I am basing this not only on personal experience, but I have visited all the reputable forums and did my homework to come to this conclusion.
The downside is that unlike Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide, ZG3 is not free. The last thing I checked was $40, which is less expensive than many of the other lesser products on the market. They usually have great bonuses and a money-back guarantee, so it’s worth at least giving it a try. Like I said, the Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide is great for newbies, but if you really want to get to level 85, then you really should check out the Zygor 3 Guides.
