1-80 Leveling Guide Horde – 1-80 Leveling Guide Alliance: What is the best wow leveling guide?

WOTLK is just around the corner and people from around the world are gearing up for the newest release to WOW. Not only has team blizzard been hard at work, teams of guide creators have been hard at working gearing up for Northrend with updates and notes. With so many people fighting for the top spot let me break things down for you very quickly so you know which 1-80 Horde Leveling Guide & which 1-80 Alliance Leveling Guide you need to pick up.

There are four really big contenders out there right now in the wow leveling guide world.
1. Zygor Guides Horde and Alliance Leveling Guide (click for details & 30 day trial)

2. Team iDemise Leveling Guide (click for details & 30 day trial)

3. Brian Kopp's Leveling Guide (click for details & 30 day trial)

4. Joana's World Wow Leveling Guide (click for details & 30 day trial)

While these four guides are all great in their own right we’ll rate them in 4 categories:
Leveling Help Detail:
Functionality:
Overall:

Leveling Help Detail:
Zygor Guides: 10/10 – In a nut shell Zygor Guides is hands down the best 1-70, soon to be 1-80, leveling guide. It’s as close to a BOT as you can get without getting banned, between the on screen help and the map mods this can’t be beat.
Team iDemise: 8/10 – While there are some functions missing from Team iDemise’s guide it is still a top notch
Brian Kopps – 7/10 - I didn’t want to give Brian Kopp’s guide the same score as iDemise, but in essence they offer the same detail.
Joana’s World – 7/10 – A very good guide as well with somewhat of a mod available but the lack of detail on quests placed this at the bottom of my list.

Functionality:
Zygor Guides: 10/10 – Again simply the best. 1-70, soon to be 1-80 leveling guide on the market. The add on available with Zygor provides detailed instructions, paths and tips to complete every quest as well as a keenly optimized quest route , making leveling form 1-70, and soon leveling form 1-80, as simple as it is enjoyable.
Team iDemise: 9/10 – Respectable it’s own right Team IDemise has put together a great package. Quest time optimization is not necessarily on par with Zygor, but is definitely there.
Brian Kopps: 7/10 – Questing is great but can definitely undergo some path optimization. Other than that the Kopp’s guide is still an industry leader.
Joana’s World: 5/10 – While you don’t have to alt-tab to much there are a few things missing here. I would leave this guide for more experienced WOW players as it does leave out some noobish details, while the other guides provide a bit more of a comprehensive package.

Overall:
Zygor Guides: 10/10 – without hesitate if your experience or inexperienced Zygor guide brings a whole new dimention to your game. Along with a free gold guide you get so much more in detail and functionality. With very few drawbacks, Zygor Guides is my preferred leveling guide.
Team iDemise: 8.5/10 – A great leveling guide and arguably the best bang for the buck. Well planned and easy to use good map mod, all in all a solid leveling guide..
Brian Kopps: 7/10 – A great leveling guide, lacking in some focus when compared to the #1 & 2 spot this guide still comes highly recommended.
Joana’s World: 7/10 – not for the faint of heart this wow leveling guide provides everything you need to know what quests to do but not necessarily the detail. If you know the quests but just not the best order to put them in this is your guide.

Winner: Zygor Guides - Horde & Alliance Leveling Guides

Recap: All of these guides are truly great and will cut time off of your leveling from 1-70 and soon from 1-80 as they are all poised to have updates as soon as WOTLK comes out. Each having their own strengths and weaknesses any of them will help you level.

Below is a chart from Zygor Guides highlighting their edge.
Note: This review was made with the current information available, as makers of these wonderful wow leveling guides are consistently adding and updating some of the information may not be 100% accurate when you read this. Please check their individual sites for details.

How to make gold in world of warcraft - Free WOW gold secrets

SO I’m sure you’ve heard of people making 60g an hour and getting an epic mount in 1 week starting from scratch, the real question is . . . are they lying?

Truth be told I seriously doubt 1 week without playing 24 hours a day...BUT 1.5 weeks. Sure why not.

One of the least fun things about World of Warcraft is grinding for experience and/or gold. That is unless you’re making serious gains in either department...then it’s just plain fun.

So to focus on the gold aspect we’ll take a little look at one of the simplest ways to average 40-60 per hour consistently...and quite honestly you can do much, much more given certain drops, but to stay conservative I’m going to pretty much guarantee 40-60 gold per hour.

Now you could quest and get gold, this is a very simple way to hit that 40-60 mark. If you’re not level 70 yet I would highly recommend this. Again optimization is key here; knowing how to finish the most quests in the least amount of time (see zygor guides on how to do this)
Farming for mats is also pretty effective as well but really becomes a money maker once you’ve gotten your flying mount as it’s much easier to go from spot to spot farming things out. Skinning or mining are best IMHO as you can skin tons fast and you can get gems from mining as well as the amount of gold a 20 stack of adamantite or fel iron go for on auction house.

So I’m going to do the unthinkable and tell you where the best mithril mining spot is and then I’m going to tell you the best spot to go grind for greens and silver.

First the mithril. On deathwing a stack of mithril will sell for roughly 25-30...so 2 stacks is 50-60 gold. So how do you get that so quickly? Believe it or not you can find mining veins in get this...MINES. Yeah crazy right? I’ve found the best spot to be in badlands. Right near the top middle of the map near the grave yard is a mine. In that mine there are approximately 15-20 veins of mithril and thorium which all respawn at a damn good rate. On my best hour with gems and such I’ve made upwards of 120g per hour. You can ideally start doing this at around level 50 I believe...forgive me it’s been some time since I went there and didn’t just steam roll everything. So yeah if you see Boneshank on deathwing tell him I told you about his mining spot...he’s gonna kill me;P

There are a few people in wow who simply cannot sell things on the auction house. Either because you don’t get how to price things or simple no one likes them, if this is you I’ll show you how to grind for some serious gold pretty quickly.

There are a few spots in outlands that regenerate tons of mobs that are easy to kill and they drop several good things. One is silver. Yeah it’s only silver but if you kill 10 guys and they drop 10 silver each you’ve just made a gold my friend. Now if you can kill 10 guys in 2 minutes you’ve just made a gold in 2 minutes...or 30g an hour. Not bad. Now what if those same 10 dropped 2 greens and a various assortment of greys and or nether weave cloth? Well then yeah your Gold per hour ratio is simply going to jump off the charts.

Usually I don’t recommend grinding out for gold, but that’s because I can mine. There have been times though when I needed 20 or 30 gold really quickly and the following spot has not failed to deliver. Right outside Shatt you’ll see in the south east section of the zone outside shatt a small camp, I can never remember the name so forgive me, I just call it Goldy Land...I suspect that’s not the official name.

At any rate, if you start on one side of this camp and walk to the other side killing everything in between you’re gonna make 10-20g in silver drops and greens. I’ve not seen a place drop more greens than in this little area. The greens range in VENDOR sales price of 2-10g. Obviously if you want you can auction the good stuff for much, much more. Did I mention these guys drop greys? Did you know a grey weapon will sell for 1-4 gold? Yeah a grey for 1-4 gold. Sell 2 of those and you just added 2-8 gold to your total average on the hour. Did I mention the nether weave they drop as well? No well they drop nether weave too. Auction or make bandages...or auction your bandages...whatever your pleasure is.

I hope this helps out a bit. Admittedly this are not the 2 BEST ways to make gold, but for some people these 2 way will simply put your gold production at 5x what it currently is.

Now if you want to go 10-20x your normal gold production then you seriously have to check out the gold guide on the top left portion of this blog. OR CLICK HERE

Hands down the best gold grinding guide out there right now.

Top Three Reasons to Get Your Copy of Zygor Guides

  1. 1-70 is long...and 1-80 is 10 levels longer
  2. You’re paying 14.99 a month to do what everyone has been doing for 4 years...get to 70 now so you can get to 71 when the real fun comes out in November
  3. You don’t believe it works. Try it out for 30 days (enough time to level 1-5 guys to 70) and if you don’t like it send it back and get a full refund. What have you got to lose?


    If you’re like me nothing turns your stomach more than seeing a ret pally (even post nerfing) hit a BG or Arena and completely turning things upside down. “I need one of those”, you say to yourself. You’re probably right you do but if you don’t already have a pally started you’re looking at some serious time ahead of you before you can really do anything. OR you can get a copy of Zygor Guides and get you a pally to 70 in just 6 days. Yes it really can be done. If ever there was a time to jump on the “I need to level my characters” band wagon now is that time.


    In a months time you’re going to be so busy killing things in Northrend all your alts are going to fall to the wayside. Get them to 70 now.

With that said, let's get you back in game and leveling your characters again!Here's what you need to do:

2. Follow these installation instructions found here:http://www.zygorguides.com/installation.html
3. Overwrite, or replace, your old guide folder with these new folders. It will ask you to do this during the installation of the new guides. Click "Yes" to overwrite the files.
