Jame's Horde Leveling Guide

Hey Jame!

Long time user of your guide here, though just now getting around to signing up to add some comments

This guide is absolutely phenomenal, even before the revamp with the awesome maps! I have been using it ever since about level 50 on my alliance druid, and have since used it to level that to 62-ish (before the post-60 guides), another druid to 63, a warlock on a PvP server to 50 (my current main), and numerous other characters to the 35-40 range.

If there was one thing bad about this guide, it would have to be that it makes me level too fast to quest or instance with other lowbies, unless they happen to catch me just at the right time!

While taking time to level tailoring, mining, first aid, cooking, and even some fishing, I leveled my warlock on a PvP server to level 50 in under 5 days /played. There was also some significant BG play, random chatting, and leaving the game on while I went to eat or whatever.

Every time I re-use your guide, I see more additions and updates. Major props to you for keeping it up to date!

I cannot believe you are offering up this masterpiece for free, but people sure love you for it! Do you accept any form of donations?

I had two level 60 alliance characters before I switched to Horde. I zipped my main up to 70 with the help of a buddy. Now I'm leveling my second character on my own. I was completely dreading this, my fourth trip up the ladder to 60 (and beyond) but this guide is making my trip fun. I'm exploring zones and grabbing quests I didn't know existed.

Thank you so much - I recommend your guide to everyone I know!

hey james great guide.
i have a 70 now and i was just wondering if you are gonna create some quest circuits for the rest of netherstorm and shadowmoon valley so i can get money for my epic flyer.

Hello Jame, I've read through quite a bit of your guide and it seems excellent. I've never used it before and I'm a level 52 Orc Warlock. Was wondering what you think is the best place to jump in. I'm one to finish random quests and I noticed that my leveling is getting very slow around this level so hoping your guide will help me progress, since I did random quests what do you recommend, following your guide and if I have already finished the quest ignore that quest and do the others that you state?

Thank you for your feedback and your great guide!

Hey Jame, i'd first of all like to say Kudos to you on making such a fantastic looking free guide.

I've been using another outdated leveling guide up until this point, but it has alot of errors and I feel as though im running around way too much.

I'd like to ask you on your view of where I should START in your guide. I play Priest alongside a Mage friend of mine and we have been exclusively questing together in a Group since we started. We are now level 25, and we have done nearly ALL Stonetalon and Southern Barrens quests. Done 2 quests in Ashenvale and started in 1k needles (done message to freewind Post, alien egg, pacify the centaur, test of faith). We have NOT touched any quests in Hillsbrad though.

Bearing in mind I quest in a group, (and most of the time been behind the old guide in terms of xp and what lvl I ought to be when I finish a zone) where do you suggest I start on your guide. I've heard you say that being infront of your guide (lvl & xp-wise) is a good thing?

I look forward to your reply, and fully understand that it will take a while to get back on track to the guide when starting mid-way, but any pointers on a place to start would be greatly appreciated. ^^

Many thanks, Hirsch.

There is a easy questline that invloves goign places you are alredy going that should be added to your guide.
During the level 30 section, add a part at either the part when your going from TB->hearthstone->Org or Splintertree->Org (start of level 31)To stop at the cross roads and pick up the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1145 then deliver it to the guy in orgrimar at the start of level 31 section for a easy 1450xp and pick up the follow up. Then turn in the follow up at the start of the 32 section when you are running to the shimmering flats for a easy 2150 xp, and pick up the follow up. If at the end of the 32 section you find yourself not 33 yet compleat the third section of this quest rather then killing random guys otherwise abandon it. (Its a hardish quest)

Also another thing you might want to add, is that at the end of the 31 section you can pick up the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1361 then turn it in when your flying from Orgrimar too freewind post, for a measily 675xp, (not out of your way though) and pick up the follow up and turn it in whenever you reach the desolance level 37 section for another 675xp, really only worth 6 kills of XP but its really easy and quicker then killing the 6 guys.

Hi,i have lvl 52 paladin and lvl 41 rogue.i was at the begining chapter3 (41-51) with rogue,and begining of the chapter4 (51-60)(both old versions).Now Blizz made lvling easier till 60.Where should i start with the new guides?Btw i followed Jame's guides with 3 chars before Tbc and it's a realy good guide.

im a level 39 lock and i really wanna use your guide,however in the past ive done alot of quests higher than my level,and i was just wondering where to start following your guide,and is it possible for me to? and will i end up having to have a big grinding session to catch up?

thanks

Ive leveled many characters since wow came out. But one thing I try to avoid is STV and instead level in desolace. I was suprised to see STV on the places to go. My lvl 33ish warrior could not do much quests in STV without getting ganked especially around Nessingwary's camp.

It has taken me around 5 hours to do all the quests in STV because of alliance camping Nessingwary. I had to log out for the day because BGs had shut down and a lot of 70 alliance have decided to raid STV instead. Just my luck!

Maybe you could create an optional place to level instead of STV?

Hi Jame. When is the guide coming out that finishes Netherstorm and Shadowmoon?

This guide was really good and fast, but if I may add a suggestion once I entered Ashenvale at lvl 21 I was 4 bars from lvl 22.I saw a quest giver mark (!) on my mini map and went to it. It was an Orc with a quest to assault an alliance outpost. Well I was bored so i took the quest and it turned to get me 2 bars from lvl 22 and only took me about 5> minutes. If you don't want to add it its fine with me but it might make something else easier.

I just wanted to take the time to register to thank you for this guide. It was so easy to use.

I'd suggest this guide to anyone who wishes to get to level 60 (and beyond I am sure) with the quickest and easiest time possible. At lvl 58 I am now 5 days 3 hours played time. I'm sure if I hadn't farted around so much lvl 1-20 as well as wasted all those hours in the AH and leveling my professions I could have done it in close to 4 days /played. (For example, I spent ALL of lvl 48 killing lvl 50 turtles for turtle scales for leatherworking. ugh.)

One suggestion I would make, is that you suggest the use of the 'Questhelper' addon. I would regularly alt/tab back to review the guide as to where to go exactly, or sometimes use thottbot. With Questhelper you just look at the map and the location of every quest you have is there. It shows you exactly where to go to kill mobs, get drops you need, find people etc etc and also where to turn the quest in. After I got the addon it helped speed things up a little more. Combined with the guide it made leveling a breeze!

thank you.

ok just done with the complete guide with my mage,started at 21 and dinged 70 with 7 days 8 hours and 24 min.
And also leveled tailoring too 375 and jc too 330 so i can just say it waz pretty fast with the guide.
Done 3 chars to 70 before without any guides and the fastest of them were almost 9 days so im superhappy about the guide.

Tnx for the help Jame an if im gonna lvl some more chars i know were i look for the help,hehe.

I started using your guide when my druid was lvl 33. I went to the start of lvl 30 to pick up quests I was missing and carried on from there. It worked great. I did stop following the guide when I hit Outlands, because my guild ran me through and pushed me through instances to get me to 70.

I have a mage at lvl 30 and I am going to do the exact same with that one.

Thank you for creating a wonderful guide. This system works great when you have dual monitors or a second computer beside your gaming one.

I'd recommend that Mages are at least 2 levels ahead of the guide if you dont want to die a lot. Thats what i did, and i leveled nicely. All the quests are still yellow, and i get good xp. BTW great guide Jame =)

Im a new member here and I must say I realy love this guide. its nice and easy to understand with enough description so that you dont get lost but not so descriptive you start to get a headache from reading the huge amount of text that realy could have been left out.

Hi, I've been a member for a while and i was just wondering if you were ever going to create a PDF version of your guides? I ask this because there amazing guides and well printing out the whole guide would be kind of a pain.

Any plans on adding class specific quests (ex. Warrior for lvl 30 Bezerker Stance, Druid form quests, Shaman totem quests) in the future? They help out by being available to use so that the person can not only be a higher level, but has to tools to know their class inside and out.

There's one mod that I think is absolutely great to use. It's called mobmap. What it does, is you can look up where to find creatures, look up drop rates, where to buy recipes, etc. It's good to show exactly the drop rates and such. Test it out, you may like it enough to add it to the addon section.

Any tips for a person wanting to start the guide at level 29 or 37? Personally, I'm kind of lost.

Mate you are the best!!!
I will translate your lvl. guides on croatian language if you let me??
I have 2lvl 70, lock and warrior and following your guides was very easy and with very fast lvling...Thanks mate... you are the best!!!

Admin's Note: Fixed spelling. Please use 'mate' instead of 'M8', 'thanks' instead of 'thx' in the future.

Hey jame, love your guides but i have a recommened mod that could possible increase leveling time.

Its called Liteheaded or lightheaded not sure how they spell it.

Wat is it? Well its a quest mod not only for quests but it has a interesting feature that allows you to set waypoints on the map and when you do a arrow comes up on ur screen pointing you to the waypoint.

I thought this would help people who need to mark coords you set so they dont have to keep looking at there map to see if there going the right way.

Heres a screen of wat it looks like

The arrow is completely movable so you can put it anywhere on ur screen.

Hi, first of all I must say the guide was greatm I leveled it from 45-69, on the part were it said that I should have hit 69, I was actually about 30,000 experience ahead of the guide. But when the guide said that I should have hit 70, I'm still lacking 45% aka 349,000 experience. I have done all the steps inbetween and reread it just to make sure I didn't miss anything and I didn't. Just wanted to let you know because I don't understand what I might have missed.

Seriously, I followed this guide from 10 - 70, took me 7 ingame days. I loved it Good Job Jame and all the other contributors! and THANK YOU!

Jame you rock my socks off! Thanks for putting together such a kick ass guide. We are all indebted to your service and trust me when I say karma will come back to repay you. Keep up the good work!

Hey, I've wanted to use this guide ever since I found it at like 40, but I cannot, for one huge reason. Every time I try to use it, you have about 10 quests in a row that require a prerequisite quest, and I can't ever find a spot where you can jump in at any time. If you could put points in the guide that are good to jump in to, that would really help.

I first want to say thank you for a fantastic guide...I just ran into a slight issue with one of the quests, and thought I would warn people.

I am certain that this would be easy in most circumstances. However; I am a bit unlucky. A rare elite named Heartrazor http://thottbot.com/c5934 is flying around where the escort takes place. Poa'Ka gets owned by him even with me healing him. Then he comes over and eats me for dessert. He seems to like the taste of Lion, Bear and Tauren, because he has eaten me in all 3 forms.

My advice, if he is there...forget the quest.

Do these guides come with addons like where you can have the addon in the game because when I installed the game I didnt have enough RAM which makes it hard for me to go from the game back to the start menu...when I log out it takes like 5 minutes to go to the character screen..so is this guide in an addon format so I can view it in the game or do I have to keep coming to and from here..if so I might just print it out =] thanks.

Admin's note: Edited spelling - In the future, please use "you" instead of "u". Also use proper capitalization, "I" instead of "i". Thanks in advance.

i'm j/w. me and some friends want to group up to 70. would this guide be viable for maybe 2 or 3 people in group?

Just wanted to create an account just to say thanks! Wonderfully written and can tell alot of love and time was put into it. This is my second character to level to 70 and with this guide I will be doing it a second time. I was able to nail down a 5 days played to 60 and then hitting 70 at 8 days. Thanks a ton and cant wait to see you in WOTLK!
