Cataclysm Leveling Guide - WOW leveling guides in Cataclysm

Well it’s been quite some time since last this site was updated but without further delay let’s get to talking about cataclysm leveling guides and whether or not they are still necessary with the built in quest tracking blizzard provides.

First and foremost let me say blizzard did a pretty good job at marking where quests are and where they need to be turned in. In almost all cases the built in World of Warcraft quest guide is accurate. The benefits of their new system clearly crap on what they previously had...which was pretty much nothing.

The question then is, “DO you need a World of Warcraft leveling guide for cataclysm?”

The answer still remains yes.

The beauty of a World of Warcraft leveling guide was never the map icons. Don’t get me wrong they were/are a great thing and make leveling a breeze. No, what you’re really benefiting from when you get a World of Warcraft leveling guide is the LEVELING PATH; in other words the most efficient way to complete quests in order to level the fastest. With literally thousands of quests in World of Warcraft it’s very easy to simply finish quests after quest and trudge along killing and basically wandering around with no real goal beyond leveling. Don’t get me wrong, you will level you will get gold and you will EVENTUALLY make it to level 85. The issue here isn’t leveling its leveling speed and THAT is what a good leveling path provides.

Now you might have leveled 100’s of characters in the past the difference now is that cataclysm has pretty much changed everything in Azeroth. Cataclysm leveling guides provide you with all new quest paths. Paths that have been tried, tested, optimized and made available for you. Speed my friend, speed is what Cataclysm leveling guides are bringing to the table. After personally using zygor to level several characters from 1-85 and then testing out what a typical no guided run to level 85 is like I can attest for a 4 day play time drop in leveling time.

Only 4 days you say? That’s 96 hours of game time. A little math and that’s 3.2 hours of in game time in addition to the 4-6 days game time you’ll get with a guide. Do you get that. Without a guide you’re looking at roughly 11 days of play time to get to end game activities.

11 days.
That’s 264 hours.
IF you played for 8.8 hours a day you’d do that in 30 days.
4.4 hours in 60 days
2.9 in 90 days
3 months of 3 hours a day to get to level 85.

Now let’s look at the 120 hours you can get safely with a leveling guide.

That’s 4 hour a day for 30 days
2 hours a day for 60 days
1.33. hours a day for 90 days.

In a nut shell you’re leveling time is quite literally cut in half.

Are World of Warcraft leveling guides still relevant in Cataclysm?

Only if you like leveling twice as fast as you normally would.

Warcraft Formula - Take your WOW to the next level.

Every now and then a new guide hits the market that captures a niche or hole in information that no other guide has yet covered. Recently, I had a chance to sit down with just such a guide – the incredibly accurate and overwhelmingly detailed new monthly guide being released by Warcraft Formula.

The idea is simple. You pay a small upfront fee for full access to a past library of Warcraft Formula guides going back to the release of Wrath of the Lich King and every month, for $17 you get the newest guide in the series. Each guide comes with PvP strategies, recent news in the game, class strategies, recent gold making options, action plans, and information that is as up to date as it comes, written as often as it is.

You also get a nice bonus in the form of an Action Plan that guides even the noobs among you to build an account from the ground up to be as effective as the pros out there. What Warcraft Formula does is nothing short of astounding, creating a new product that allows users of all skill levels to start out with nothing and build their way up to pro status every month with sharp, pointed strategy guides. It’s not a select guide – you don’t get a leveling guide or a gold guide or PvP guide alone. But, unlike the guys offering those guides, you get information that isn’t three months old and mostly nerfed. You get info as it is added to the game and you get strategies that no one else has seen yet. I was astounded at how much information is included each month in these guides.

Consider the source...Brad Johnson and T Dub Sanders – are the geniuses behind Warcraft Millionaire(arguably THE best gold guide available) and PvP Bible (No argument here it is THE best PVP guide out there), making them the best possible sources for all the top new info in the game. You can’t get much better than the best around in PvP and the best around in gold making. If you’re looking for the next big thing in Warcraft guides, this is it folks – don’t miss out on Warcraft Formula.

My take on this is pretty simple. I've been a very adamant supporter of two levelign guides, Dugis and Zygor, I stand by them, if you want to level this is the way to go.

But what do you do once you've leveled? Settle down and just SUCK? IT's hard work PVPing or knowing what to do in raids. If you're goal is to become an elite wow player then Warcraft Formula is only going to get you there quicker.

Take a look at their site, read what they have to say, this is easily the most affordable guide out there at only $17 & you can always get a refund. Check it out:

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
