Or….you can just get the “Tourguide” addon FOR FREE and not have to worry about interrupting your game by switching windows to read the guide.

Hey, I was just gonna let Joana know (if she reads this) that she should probably get a lawyer or a special consultant. I’d like to inform her that I’ve seen many a website with an illegal download of this guide. I was wondering where to get this guide, and so I asked my guildies, and one guy said “Oh, you just DL it, I did it for free” and I felt ashamed. There are a lot of people putting illegal copies of it on the internet for you to DL. (BTW, I did end up LEGALLY buying the guide)

Ive got already got a lvl 70 char which i lvled the ‘hard’ way – Ally paladin on hellifre aswell =] , so when i wanted to reroll horde, rather then spend forever lvling i decided to get this book ,and having used it for 15 -30 ( in 2 days ) i can safly say its a hell of alot faster, the only problem i have had so far is since im doing another paladin ( i know sucker for punishment) some of the quests are quite hard to solo at the stated lvl, as hunters are solo pve gods, and paladins, well arnt. great guide tho, would recomend it to anyone

Hello, well I wanned to add some comments about the guide. I’m currently a lvl 70 H rogue in a kara raiding guild and things are going good. I love to have alts and love to get them to high lvls and stuff. But I always got bored to lvl at certain places or even with my gaming experience I couldn’t lvl as fast as my friends or as fast as I wanned. I got joanas guide because it was alll over the internet and most of the reviews about his guide and his progress sounded really good. I personally haven’t tryed it but I’ve been looking threw it and besides the Allakazam links the guide is pretty neat. I can’t wait to go lvl my alts from 1 to 60 – 70 to see how long I take on doing that, I’m sort of a solo player and like lvling alone.. I hate grouping with dumb people and loosing (like most ppl) So I want to give it a try =). Thx joana/mancow

Gotta say I agree with Syriana. I played through, 1-60 w/o the guide as a hunter, took me 18 days+ /played. I’m a point-A-to-point-B-to-point-C kinda person, and the constant grinding I did drove me nuts. Then I got the guide, quested with it to 70, and now I’m using it to quick lvl my alts so I can earn money for a flying mount. I don’t like playing with other players, I’m one of those “Alone in a crowd” people, so the end gaming and raids weren’t my purpose, I just get annoyed at lower levels.

One big big big boone to me, though, was that I kept 1-2 levels above the guide at all times, even as a hunter. Sometimes, I’m not even sure how Joana/Mancow got through the quests he did, at the level he did. I don’t doubt, I just couldn’t do it myself. So if anyone is having difficulty with the guide, rested exp and staying beyond the guide is really really helpful.

That’s an excellent point Syriana for those into the RPG aspect of the game, would be a shame for them to miss that aspect of the WOW.

However I’m not that type of player and being lvl 70 for many months now the real fun starts at level 70 when you find a decent raiding guild, clear Karazhan easily and move on to the harder content.

The guild I’m in (Semper Fi on the EU Hellfire realm) is on the last boss of SSC (Lady Vashj) and the final boss of the Eye (Prince Kael’thas Sunstrider). We’ve cleared Zulaman as well (1st Horde guild to do so on our realm and I was there).

When we finally take those two down we’ll be onto Mount Hyjal and Black Temple which we hope to clear before we have to level to 80!!

From my perspective sooner you get a character to level 70 sooner you’ll be raiding and there’s nothing more enjoyable (IMO) in the World of Warcraft than 25 man raids.

Just a point, if you don’t wanna buy the guide, there are 2 things you can do for leveling somewhat quickly.
1. Get an addon(forgot what its called) that tells you what levels each zone are for
2. Ask someone higher than your range(range being, if you are level 20 you are in the 20-29 range) where they went for questing at your level.
Those are what I do personally, and its been very helpful, even if it does make you level a bit slower then the guide.
Also, if you are having trouble with a quest, most likely you can find someone who has done it that can tell you where to go or what to do, if you can’t find it on your Quest log O.o
Just wanted to give advice to those of you that don’t want to buy the guide.

Dear all,

I have to agree that its necessary to play the game once without the guide. Why so? If you use the guide you will less read the quests and will not be able to follow the storyline. (Which in my opinion is still the most important aspects of RPG’s) As I say this, I have lvl’d my main lock without any guide and had much of fun exploring dungeons, following the story, experience the different aspects of the game…)

Now I have bought the guide. The thing is once you now most of the game, the quests, the story and so on… it tends to get a little boring once your doing the whole thing over again to play another chart. In this scenario the guide is a must have. With 1day 7 hours played I am at lvl 26 now.

To respond to the mage area… I am leveling a blood elf mage now and have none problems with keeping track of the recommended lvl. It happened once that I was struggling with a quest 2 levels higher than my level and that was in Stonetalon Mountains… apart from that, no problems encountered. If so, do a dungeon… massively fun!

To make a fun comparison… my friend just started the game at the same time I started my alt. Me with guide, him without. +- Same game time played. He is lvl 16 now, I am 26. Do the matt.

To Joana: Many thanks for all the effort you have put in this guide. Its very elaborate, easy to follow, and still lots of fun!!!

To conclude: If your new, just explore the game without the guide. What’s the use if your lvl 70 in a couple of weeks and you still don’t know what AOD or BOE/BOP means… If your leveling your alt, ABSOLUTE MUSTHAVE!!!

Kind regards

Id just like to say that the review was great and i love the guide. I tried it with kroko a shammy, and although i went and took time to do class quests and some raiding i found the guide realy helped me lvl quicker and made the game more enjoyable.

Your mage point about leveling is valid, but easily solved.

While leveling at the beginning grind a little extra so when you should be level 10 at a particular time your at level 12, this will compensate for the pet you don’t have. Keeping at last one level higher than the recommended level for each area shouldn’t be too difficult, especially if you play the game for fun (instances, odd bit of grinding for mats).

You know as a Mage you also have an advantage, frost/slow thing you do. I’ve seen low level mages (never played one) take on half a dozen mobs with no problems at all, basically kiting them around on slow motion mode :-) So I doubt a Mage would have problems keeping up with the leveing guide.

The guide doesn’t put you in many situations where you need to be an imba player to survive, when it does there’s normally a video to explain how he did it as a hunter and you can always skip those quests. So 95%+ can be used by an average WOW player. I used the guide to level my Troll Priest and they don’t exactly have many advantages until they get shadowform (level 40+).

Received an email from Joanna that he plans to update the guide to take new changes (faster leveling to 60) as soon as he can. His past updates tend to be very fast.

He plans to do a new speed run as well since the current ones will no longer be valid.

BTW I think it’s levels 20-60 that will be faster, but not 100% sure?
