Level Grinding In Northrend - Why are you doing this?

Level Grinding In Northrend - Why are you doing this....seriously?

OK hold the phones everyone shhhh..shhh... I need people to get this point and I need them to get it clearly.
When you ask me, "Hey Blackthought, where is all the level grinding and gold grinding in northrend going on", and I respond by laughing at you then telling you "wtf are you doing?" I mean it in with the utmost sincerity.

Seriously wtf are you doing still trying to grind levels in Northrend for...or gold for that matter? I understand the need to kill 5 or 6 mobs to level on occasion, we've all been there. Or the occasional need for a fast buck without having to spend forever in the AH. What I don't understand is when I ask, "well how much till you ding" how I can get "only 20 bars"...there is nothing "ONLY" about 20 bars that's damn near the entire level my friend. Stop what you're doing and think for a second.

Ask yourself: "What could I be doing to make the most of my time in Northrend?" ...If "I need to get my grinding on" was the answer you came up with do me a favor and go sit in time-out for a few minutes.

I really want to help out on this one, I really do. There's no reason you should be grinding for levels or gold in Northrend...or any other continent for that matter, it's just so cavemanish and boring, I mean really do you want to sit and kill the same thing over..and over..and over again? Yeah I didn't think so, you're paying money to play this game, why waste it grinding?

There are many different things you can do to help get both gold and levels pumped out more quickly. Many of these tactics I've covered on the site, ALL of them are in either a wow leveling guide (if it's leveling you're after) or a wow gold guide (if it's gold ye seek). Why waste your time waiting for things to respawn when you could be out pvping or raiding?

So some advice from me to you, if you want to know everything about level grinding or gold grinding in northrend start by looking at:

Zygor Leveling Guide - For Leveling & Gold Making

Warcraft Wealth - for gold making.

Trust me when I say you're time will be much better spent. ... If that's still not good enough for you then I'll give you a good grinding spot I used to use.

The city just south of Venomspite in Dragonblight is chalk full of humans. Grab your mount, pull 5-8, AOE, loot. Hop on mount, head down to the beach near the tents, pull 5-8 mobs, AOE, loot. Hop on mount, there's a ship nearby with 10 or so mobs, HEAL, pull them all, AOE, loot. If you're a miner theirs a cobalt node just as you come off the boat on the beach too. Just wash rinse repeat this and you're looking at 100-200 gold an hour depending on what drops...it's just not that fun.

Oh and if you are going to do this make sure to loot EVERYTHING, even greys. Remember a grey weapon will sell for 1-4 gold at a vendor.

Happy hunting.

Dugi’s Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide vs Zygor Guides: A brief review

Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide vs Zygor Guides: A brief review

So what's the story here? Which guide is better you're probably wondering. Well read on to find which of these two guides is best and which is the best buy for your buck.

I've touted Zygor Guides as the end all for quite some time now, having leveled several characters using it, portions of those levels coming at the hands of my 6 year old following the arrows. Let me be clear, Zygor Guides is an AWESOME GUIDE, bottom line point blank and I still recommend this for anyone wanting to level with ease and with speed. So why am I touting Dugis wow leveling guide?

The reason is simple, overall I feel the PACKAGED guide is more beneficial for the average player. Along with the built in leveling guide and such, very similar to Zygors wow leveling guide, Dugis guide offers other guides as well. Gold guides, character guides, etc, etc. These aren't just run of the mill guides either these guides are as solid as any major gold guide out there.

If you want to know how to make money, how to find grinding spots, learn how to work the auction house, or simply want to get your DAMN flying mount then Dugis leveling guide can show you how. GOLD SEEKERS HERE'S YOUR ANSWER

So what's the difference between the two? Well aside from the additional, more in-depth guides you get with Dugis, Zygors does still remain on top with it's automation of quest tracking. The automation in Zygor's Guide is definitely still a great plus. Beyond these two points the guide are more or less identical.

If you're just now getting in the market for what wow leveling guide to go hunting after I recommend them both as they will both get the job done. If you're an established player wanting to find a way to JUST LEVEL characters quickly then Zygor Guides is where you need to be looking. If you're new to WOW and want a little more...help in other aspects such as character development and gold making then Dugis leveling guide is for you.

On a final note: The Dugis leveling guide site says the Zygor leveling guide is not 100% grind free. As of 2/23/09 both guides can now boast this...however your experience is anything like mine you will most likely find that you will actually level much faster than either wow leveling guide says you can.

You can get your 30 day trial of both of these guides and decide for yourself. I trust that you will not be disappointed either way.

EDIT 4-23-2010:
As always guides evolve and change. ZYgor is now leading the pack again in all things wow leveling guide related. Dugis, while still a great guide, lacks a smart injection system which allows for you to plug into wow at ANY LEVEL seamlessly. Zygor is back on top!

So I’ve been away and all this time I continue to receive emails about Zygor Guides and wow leveling guides in general.
Do wow leveling guides work?

Are wow leveling guides effective?

Which wow leveling guide is MOST effective?

I want a wow leveling guide but don’t know how to pay for it?

I have a wow leveling guide but it suck, what do you recommend?

As far as leveling guides go ZYGOR GUIDES is still the guide to get, it’s updated constantly to be more and more accurate. IT has a SOUND and active forum community to help you with any issues or just discuss game talk. It interfaces directly with WOW so you’re not having to STOP playing to get something done. The long and short of it all is that it does what you need it to do.

If you’re on a budget, while you’re saving I would try using quest helper (the add on) as it’s pretty decent. There are a lot of bugs and the quest routes don’t always work out. The updates are a pain in the rear to get too, but if you don’t have the cash to spend it’s better than nothing. IF you do have the cash to spend the CLICK HERE and try your copy for 30 days. By the time the 30 days is up you could have several characters leveled up. I’ve been using Zygor Guides for a little over a year now and I don’t know what I’d do without them both.
