You can find a lot more leveling guides here.
Jame and I will work hard on finishing guides for TBC as fast as possible, however if you have some time, think about contributing to the community and writing guides yourself :)
Cataclysm
What now?
with the new cataclysm updates to the old content, will it be the end of the guide, or is starting all over again the answer? O.o

Quest-box-thingie Gone
Hello, About the new patch that fucked everything up, I (stupid as I am) threw the box down below my spellbar. Now I'm not able to get my box up again, so that I can continue questing.
Help please :<

Press escape, go to
Press escape, go to interface, go to the addon tab, find Tour Guide in the list. You should have an option that resets the box to it's default position, which is under your mini map. From there you should be able to move it to wherever you want it.
Hope this helps!
It worked
It worked wonderous!
Thank you very much
Clicking on "Duskwood
Clicking on "Duskwood Alternative" under the 20-30 guides links to Boston's 12-20 guide. Since there's no mention of Duskwood in that guide, I'm hoping that's just a mis-link.
Term Paper
A level behind
I started this guide at level 33, however I seem to be a level behind in the guides. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to catch up on this level as fast as possible. Thanks!

I would recommend doing a couple of instances, if you can get a group. Either that, or just kill any mobs that are on the way as you do quests. Eventually you will catch up.
Thanks
Thanks, this worked great XD
Dual with druid and lock
I don't think this is the appropriate place to put this but anyhow, i was wondering if someone would know what's the best tree to go into for a druid/warlock combo (for both of them). Thanks in advance
druid/lock
well im gonna assume u mean best leveling spec:
druid: without a doubt feral. balance is fun too but not as efficient as feral(for leveling). its cool for casting; plus at level 40 u get moonkin(which is awesome btw). resto is for healing(mostly for instances).
warlock: affliction. alot of people assume demonology but they are wrong(mostly). blizz made the affliction tree specifically for the LEAST amt. of downtime. this tree makes ur curses hurt more and cost less. most people see the demonology specc as the beast mastery specc for hunters, and it kind of is. but affliction remains as the best choice for leveling.
hope this helped, gl, cya.

I think he means a warlock/druid combo as in 2v2 Arena, or am I horribly wrong here?
Currently working on a
Currently working on a Draenei Hunter to raid with some friends, and I find the Alliance guides to be working well.
My only qualm is that I hadn't remembered they had a 12-20 guide until I was already 15!

awsome guides
i lvled 5 chars 2 80 in 6 months 
but couldnt you add a few dungeons the the guides it would be awsomer 
Amazed
So I started a brand new toon with the stone keeper shard shoulders and decided to try out this guide.
I just hit 70 last night on him in the horde Nagrand guide.
Not wanting to head to northrend yet i've decided to keep going along in outland.
Just wanted to give you props for the guide.
Man! Im leveling FAST!!
I started this guide about 3-4 days ago and im already on level 28! I plan on getting to level 30 tomorrow, so about 30 levels in 5 days is really good progress (for me at least). I figure at this rate i can get to level 80 in about a month at most. Its all thanks to the your leveling guides. Keep it up.
-Kane23
Yep, Level 30
Well i got from level 28-30 today like i predicted. It only took me about 2-3 hours. Just thought I'd throw my progress out there. This guide is AWESOME!
-Kane23
BTW if anyone wants to look my character up, I am on the Garrosh realm under the name of Hawaiianbrah(as of now a level 30 hunter.)
fast lvling
I made my Character Sácer on Saurfang on wednesday, im already 34 (at the time i post atleast)
wowarmory link: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Saurfang&n=S%C3%A1cer (might say lower lvl then i am but its slow refresh timer....)
Speed Leveling
I have read about guys who "speed" or "power" level and get to lvl 80 or so in about a week or two. I was wondering, do your guides provide the information on how to do this, or is there a better, faster way to level than this? I am asking because i want to level as fast as i can.
THX, Kane23

Our guides are the fastest possible way to level. Trust me on that
The best is to use our leveling addon, it's simply unbeatable.

Here is the page with the
Here is the page with the addon information and download links. Basically the addon is a step by step guide to what to do to level through questing. Almost all the steps auto-complete when you finish them, and an arrow appears showing you where to go next. It's completely stress-free leveling, and very fast!
Exalted Member
Speaking of stress, when I
Speaking of stress, when I followed Joana's Horde Leveling Guide, I were almost constantly stressed about which quests to take or not because he weren't (and isn't) too specific on which quests to take or not.
But with now, while following WoW-pro guides, I'm never concerned whether I have the correct quests at the correct time, and when to turn them in.
Hi all! I'm in love with
Hi all! I'm in love with this site and the addon. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it. Have one question though, the arrow that's supposed to point me to the objective isn't showing up. I've downloaded the guide, tomtom, lighthead and tour guide. I tried turning on QuestHelper at the same time and I got two arrows, one was TomTom and the other was QH. Any help on this please because I am an addon noob. Thanks in advance!
Moderator
Hmm, well you probably don't
Hmm, well you probably don't want questhelper's arrow enabled at the same time since it will most likely not point you to the same place. What guide/faction are you using and what step are you on? Or does this occur for all steps in the guide you are using?
The guide is still being refined and some locations are missing, so it might just be that.
RESPECT!
Hello Jame! I'm from Russia, i want to thank you for this wonderful guides! I think Your site is THE BEST!
These guids will show you
These guids will show you most of the solo/questing content available at the moment. They are very up-to-date and almost always cover 100% (or close to that number, depending on the effectivity) quests available in the zone. As an example, you get quest achievements on all zones in WOTLK if you follow these guides. It gets harder as your level up because the amount of group quests not soloable is increasing but all of them are covered in the guides.
I have leveled 5 characters to lvl60+ before I found this site. I have been to areas and did quests on my newest character (following these guides) that I have never seen or done before.
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for replying
Have downloaded the Addon ( which is just a dream, and am now questing away )
Thanks again
Do the guides show you most of the content
Im thinking of using a this excellent looking guide, but have a question about them.
Do they show alot of the content of warcraft?
Say for example if i followed them from 30 thru to 80, I would obviously get to 80 very quickly and efficiently but would i miss say 80% of the backstory of Warcraft ?
Sorry if ive put that badly. Im a lvl 20 Hunter and I dont just get the time so sit and really hit wow. So a guide would be great for me but i dont want to miss the backstory / lore of warcraft. Im assuming the quests show you some if it but I guess you dont do all the quests in the questlines.
Just wondered in your opionion what the trade off is if any
Thanks

It's all the opposite,
It's all the opposite, you'll see MORE of the lore of WoW if you follow these guides, as they make you do a tremendous amount of quests, moreso than what you could do on your own, I guarantee you that
At least, that's what every person who followed our guides said

30-40 questing in STV.
Today I was browsing through the wow offical forums and I occasionaly found a post of a player who's using Jame's guides (horde side) but can't quest efficently in STV due to the level 60-80 playes ganking (clearly on a PvP server). So I was wondering, are there any alternatives at STV? I suggested to do some other areass and don't care about doing quests that Jame will include in the guide because every one will eventually finish way ahead of the guides. But, maybe, more expert players can suggest more interesting things. Another thing I think can be good is just to skip STV parts and go on with the guide, anyway there is always a chance to recover the "lost" xp and finish ahead.
Any thoughts?

New quest in zul'drak
In 3.0.8 blizzard added a new quest to Zul'Drak so that people will be able to get the quest achievement easier. You get it from Chronicler To'kini in Zim'Torga, you can get more info at WoW Insider
Exalted Member
I think it's wrong saying
I think it's wrong saying that my guide is Westfall/Redridge, it's more like Westfall/Loch Modan/Redridge. This is mostly because you'll level through alot of levels in Loch Modan aswell.
This is nothing major, but I thought I'd just mention it
Administrator
Ah :P
Editing it then, it's better that way anyway, it makes it more different from Boston's guide on the list
Trusted Member
Boston's 10-20
I'm not sure if it should have been removed. Currently Boston's is the only guide that goes all the way from 1-30 and now there's that large gap in the middle. I'm not going to say whether Maw's is better or worse as I haven't used it yet (though I plan to). It's just that it was nice to have a single consistent guide all the way to the start of Jame's.

Near-perfect guides!
Hi Jame and other people helping with the guides,
you are doing amazing job all in all. There are minor mistakes in the text but taking into consideration the sheer size of it, it is absolutely flawless. Whenever somebody is asking for help with quest and I can help them, I do not forget to give you credit and spread the word
Keep up the good work
I've loved your guides in
I've loved your guides in the past but the 3x experience gain would definately outpace your guides in a big hurry. Have you ever given any thought to writing up a Recruit-a-friend leveling guide?
Honored Member
Great guides
Your guides are amazing, well planned and the best I've ever seen. I was wondering about how long would it take to reach 70 using your guides?
Recruit-a-"Friend" Guides
I'm thinking about powerleveling up several alts with a multibox account that I would use Blizzard's Recruit-a-Friend program with. I've loved your guides in the past but the 3x experience gain would definately outpace your guides in a big hurry. Have you ever given any thought to writing up a Recruit-a-friend leveling guide?
Triple XP levelling
While I don't use Jame's guide anymore, I imagine the "outpacing" can be counteracted by following the guide till you reach the upper limit of the level group and moving on to the next group. Granted some quests in the next section might have prerequisites that you skipped, but bypassing them shouldn't be a problem either since you're getting so much more XP.
I play Horde, but if I'm leveling two toons with triple XP I generally go through the race's starting area ( not just the spawn zone, but the 7-12 one too ). Then I hit Barrens ( usually 14-16 already so Barrens is very easy ) through low-mid twenties. Depending on the class I'm primarily playing I either go right to STV, or Thousand Needles if I need a couple more levels to comfortably go to STV. Make sure you do Grom'grol and Booty Bay, not just Grom'grol. Next I go to Tanaris and The Hinterlands ( order isn't really important ). Finally Silithus or Eastern Plaguelands to 58 or 60, depending on my desire to get to Outlands. I do pretty much every quest so long as it's not gray throughout this process. Any green quest is giving good enough XP to make it worth the time it takes to do it.

I have a question:
what should I do if I choose to leve an alliance char beside gnome or dwarf? Do you think that boston's guides will still work on Humans? And, for sure, 20-30 for Draeneis and N-Elves?
