Leveling with Zygor Guides...simply easy as all hell

So i've been leveling several different toons using zygor guides and I must admit i'm impressed. I still recommend using questhelper to supliment the guide as there are still a few little things I like about questhelper, but as for pumping out levels well I hit 75 on my main that I've not really been playing in a little under a level every 7-8 hours...depending on how focused I am. The detail of the quests is VERY accurate and I've found very few mistakes. I actually am enjoying the game a much more as well. There's no down time where i'm not really sure what to do. Once I complete a quest i'm off to complete the next quest in line. THIS is the beauty of the guide. You don't even realize it but in you log in, do a few quests and then realize , "wow...i just finished 6 quests in like 15 minutes...damn!"

The biggest benefit has been the grouping of quests. Rather than riding around blowing time doing quests in the order I get them in I follow the guide and i'm able to group quests up. For some reason the WOW designers must have figured we'd enjoy riding all over the place criss crossing each zone for a few quest, because without the guide that's exactly what you end up doing...I know I strayed from the guide to do some quest for gear and OMG it was like pulling teeth in comparision to the ease of using the Zygor Guides.

If you haven't tried it out you really should. The game opens up and you can actually focus on enjoying Northrend

GM's and a Glitch

So this morning was a mixed blessing. I was able to get on and pump out 30+ steps on my leveling guide and get like 5-6 bars in about an hour. Right before I decide to log I figure I’ll finish up another quest or two by killing this lich lord guy in the Northern part of the Tundra Zone. I walk into the undead “temple” like structure and step on a hill leading to the second level and the next thing I know I’m like 10000 feet above the ground, so high in fact that I can’t even see the ground. I’m plummeting down fast and I’m angling so I’m heading north at break neck speeds. On the 1 hand I got exploration experience for most of the zone north of the tundra as when I finally died I was at the northern part of the next zone :) ON the other hand I when I released I was still in the tundra with my corpse nowhere in site on my map.

It just so happens that at that very moment a GM whispers me about a ticket I put in 2 days ago...talk about fate :)
GM: Hello Blackthought, how are you doing today
Blackthought (as I’m trying to locate my body on the map): it’s funny you should ask :)
GM: Oh and why is that?
Blackthought: Well because I just fell through the floor and into the sky.
GM: Ah I see, well then that is a problem isn’t it.
Blackthought: Yes it is, especially since I can’t seam to find my body.
GM: Have you checked (Zone Name)?
Blackthought: You know it didn’t occur to me as I was in Tundra when I died.
GM: Hmmm well that does make sense then. Tell me where you near the (Area name in Tundra)?
Blackthought: Well yeah it just so happens that I was.
GM: Yeah we’ve been having some trouble with that and they are working on fixing it.
Blackthought: Ah well it’s not all bad I did get some exp for exploration.:)
GM: HA! Well then it’s not an entire waste. So I wanted to check with you on your mailbox issue...

I tell him things are just fine now and he goesGM: Ok well Blackthought is there anything else I can do for you?
Blackthought: Again, Funny you should ask. My body is 20k yards from me in a zone I can’t get into because there’s a giant mountain in the way. I’ve recently used my hearth stone and the zone is well above my level...this is going to make both getting my body and walking back...well it’s going to suck. Is there any way you can res me? And if it’s not to much place an epic item in my mailboxJ
GM: LOL I’ll take care of the res as you DID fall through the ground into the sky. The epic you’ll have to work on though.
Blackthought: yeah well you can’t blame a guy for tryingJ Thanks for the res.

LOL GM’s are cool.

Gold in Northrend - Easy Northrend Gold Grinding Spot

UPDATE: Well now that 80 has arrived the next crucial thing is gear and gold. I went ahead and went the route of the “GOLD GUIDE” and tried a couple of them out. If you want a MONSTER of a gold guide then I highly recommend this guide. It is pretty much the TOP of wow gold guides and is easy to use and understand i'm sitting at about 6k gold after a little less than a week...not hardcore play time either. No grinding and such. If you're serious about making gold, or serious about getting that flying mount get your copy of Warcraft Wealth.

Getting gold in Northrend is like trying to hit the floor when you spit, that’s to say it’s pretty damn easy.

I’m by no stretch of the imagination a “GOLD MACHINE”, love machine maybe, but “gold Machine” I am not. BUT I’m finding that without doing dailies and just questing I can rake in about 150g in an hour and a half easy, keep in mind that’s not including the Cobalt Ore I’m selling at 2.5-3g a pop.

I decided to simply try to grind to see what the rate of gold was...I was pleasantly surprised. Right outside of WS Hold as you head out the main entrance there is a big “wall’ with spiders on it. Head up the ramps on that wall till you get to the area with moths and little troll type guys that shoot fire, Blood something harvesters or something like that, and you’ll be in what I like to call the gold zone. Between the moths and the harvesters and the various nodes out there I was hitting about 150g an hour there. The trick was LOOT EVERYTHING especially the greys. Sure it’s not the funnest thing in the world to do, but gold is gold. The kicker here was the amount of grey weapons (2-4g when sold to vendors), and the green drops (2-6g when sold to vendors) were dropping from the harvesters like they’d just robbed an armory. Also be sure to pick up the various crap grey items as well a stack of 20 will often sell for 2-4 gold.

I would still recommend questing as a means of getting gold as you can definitely make more money that way. But if you’re in the mood to just hit a few guys and make some gold try this spot out. The mobs are easy, they drop 10-20 silver per humanoid and then they drop any number of green and grey items you can vendor. PLUS you’re getting semi decent experience to a point. There are a few more of these area’s I will be dropping hear in the near future. After taking a holiday vacation from WOW I have some levels to quickly make up. I will say I went from 70-72.5 in a little under 10 hours with the help of Zygor Guides, bare in mind this was with spending some time in Nexus and a few other instances.
