Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide – Addon Version

Tested the GuidesHello everyone,
ive tested nearly the whole guide (mulgore->ungoro+bc+wrath) and there were NO bugs.
so it worked completly, but i have to say that i were always 1-2 lvl above the noted lvls.
but this lvl was a great advantage, so i made nearly every hour a lvl till bc.
i went with 58 to Hellfire and it worked (but i wouldn do it again).

i spend 1 month with 7days and 12 hours in the game and got lvl 80.
but i spend also some time with leatherworking and anglin, so i could have got lvl 80 in 5-6 hours earlyer.

this guide is GREAT

DK GuideHey James/Snowflake and whoever else is updating these guides… right now I am running the DK guide and the talents are outdated. The guide is telling me to get skills I’m not able to get/don’t have the points for.

I would update this myself but I’m not good with picking skills.

It’s composed by 2It’s composed by 2 parts:

1) the arrow you talked about;
2) the core of the addon, TourGuide.

Basically, Tourguide is a database where are included all the guides Jame has done -as well as other players’ guides – made in a format compatible with WoW. The addon can work without the arrow (Which is a part of another addon , TomTom) you have just to search yourself the coords. Now, TourGuide is combined with TomTom, which is a gps addon. It can be linked with other addons, not just Tourguide, and it shows the coordinate you are aiming on the map as well as the infamous arrow. You can also link coords from Lightheaded, for example. Now, Cartographer -recent versions- has a similar arrow pointing system which is IMO better than TomTom; plus, Cartographer includes a lot of nice addition that make the addon worth to download.

To sum it up, basically if you download the 2 addons and copy-paste the folders correctly, you will have an arrow on your screen leading to an objective that Tourguide wants you to “do”. It’s light and it dosen’t invade your screen at all.

You should see two things onYou should see two things on your screen if you have all the necessary addons: an arrow which points the way, and a little sentence telling you what to do, with a checkbox next to it. If you mouse over that sentence, you’ll see more detailed information. Most of the time, when you complete the step, it will heck off automatically and go to the next one, but sometimes you’ll need to check it off yourself.

Help !I dont really get this guide thing. Is there just an arrow on your screen which you have to follow and it takes you to quests you need or what ? please tell me more info on what it actually does in the game

Thanks for the update. ToThanks for the update. To anyone who has updated the guides, really. I was eager to get even the most little update since the 14th of may and here it is. Thanks a lot again sweety =).

New versions out! Thanks forNew versions out! Thanks for being patient, folks. Unfortunately, I haven’t been keeping track of who updated what section, but I do know *which* sections were updated.

Did you have the addonDid you have the addon TomTom or Cartographer? You need one of those two addons to use the arrow. The links are at the top of the page. Make sure you also have Lightheaded, or it won’t show arrows for quest givers.

having trouble with arrowHey i just downloaded both the alliance and horde guide addon but whenver i pick up a quest or anything it never shows an arrow where to go so i have to walk around looking for each guy and where to go. Since there is no arrow what should i do so it shows up or should i just put the addon questhelper along with the guide?

Is there a seperate allianceIs there a seperate alliance DK guide in the making or hidden somewhere else on the site, and which guide do i need to follow after the DK guide, im currently using the internet based alliance DK guide, but cant find the addon version. otherwise thanks for the effort 🙂

Patience is a virtue, it just isn’t one of mine!

Impressive and excitedHey Jame I am REALLY am impressed with your level of Activity on these comments and such and I personally have not used the addon or your guides due to the fact that I am currently deployed to afghanistan and am unable to access internet on my personal computer. I am ULTRA excited about using it during midtour and I really hope you keep updating even after I return from duty in afghanistan. Thank you very much for giving a service to the community and as soon as I am able to download the addon and use it I will give you money from my wallet because I know that it is time consuming and probably not too cheap to keep a thing like this update.

It’s an issue with TomTom, IIt’s an issue with TomTom, I believe. It isn’t able to handle the DK starter zone. The Horde version, at least, is coded with lots of details on where to go so that this shouldn’t matter.

Quest glitch – Borean TundraHowdy!

After completing the quest “The Sub-Chieftains” the quest did not show up complete. I am not sure if this is an error from the add-on or the quest in relation to the add-on, however I figured you might like to add a note to click off after completion to continue with the guide.

Happy questing,
Fleek

I’m getting the errorI’m getting the error “Cannot find zone “Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave”, using current zone” in the Death Knight guide.

And no, I do not have an outdated version of Tour Guide. I have version 3.1.0.52, the one linked.

Just like any other addon,Just like any other addon, you need to unzip it into you addon folder. The process is described at the top of this page.

InstallationI am going to download the addon, but how do i do it as there is no installation button, or i cant find one!!!!!

Missed a coordinate…Zangarmarsh (63-65)

After the quests Thick Hydra Scales, and Angling to Beat the Competition, then Hearthstoning to Cenarion Refuge, it states walk to Swamprat Post but gives the coordinates and waypoint for (27.8, 60.0) which Swamprat Post is at (84.5,55.0)

Great guides James, love your work 🙂

31-41I just installed the leveling guide addon last night. I started with the 31-41 as I was just barely into level 31. I leveled AMAZINGLY fast! I got from 31-35 last evening. Before that I was averaging a level a day. My only complaint is that the guides bump you to the next level as soon as you ding. I was only 66% of the way through the level 34 guide when I hit 35. The next level was 35-37. I finished that portion and am only sitting at a bar into 36. I’m going back to finish up the Tarren Mill quests that I dropped, hopefully this will finish me off.

Howling Fjord add-on coordinateThe add-on guide has greatly enhanced this site’s usefuless. Well done.

In the Howling Fjord add-on guide, ‘The Book of Runes’ coordinate given is 48,24 but there are no mobs in sight there. The dwarves to kill for the quest items are around 70,28.

Heh, done, and also, THIS isHeh, done, and also, THIS is the reason we originally disabled the default guides – because seriously more than half the people were using them thinking they were ours. The guides you were using were in fact not Jame’s guides at all.

Luckily Jahwo fixed this by simply listing our guides first in the addon, while still maintaining Tour Guide’s functionality and original guides.

Can’t load Howling Fjord *PLEASE CANCEL*Moderator: Please cancel last comment. I just realized after I reloaded the WoW Pro Add-on that there is a new list above my old list that has a functional Howling Fjord guide. So sorry! Thanks again!

Should already be in theShould already be in the addon files.

Let me know if you are still having trouble viewing it.

Also thanks for the nice comment!

Hey guys,I just wanted toHey guys,I just wanted to say thank for all the hard work you guys have been doing. I’ve been using these guide for about 4 months now and they’re amazing. Makes my life a lot easier been able to keep up with friends in game and live a normal social life hehe!
Was wondering about an addon for 57-80 for the horde though? Is there one already or one coming out soon?

It might make your lifeIt might make your life easier, but it would also mean the addon would not be updated. All the guides that people work hard on and post here, all the community built around the addon, would be wasted if no one visited the site, not to mention that without visitors the site could not support itself through ads and would no longer remain running.

Jame has made it clear that he will not put his addon on any kind of third party site or automatic updater for this reason.

sorry for posting this twicesorry for posting this twice but i was wondering why this addon is not availbe on curse? i love it and its really helpful and would make my life easy if i could update it on my curse client!

Woah, massive Fail hereWoah, massive Fail here 😀

Well that explain why my paper version was conflicting with the addon ! Thanks a bunch

helpi dont see the arrow that shud point the way… :jawdrop:
btw at the last screen shot up there ^ to the left you can see “TomTom” and “Tour Guide”…but i dont see the “TomTom”

(it is installed , it is in the addons folder, and i turned it ON in the character selection screen)

(im running XP, 3.0.9 , and all the other addons are turned off)

so where is the problem???

Yes, sadly this means you’veYes, sadly this means you’ve been using the non-WoW-Pro guides. All of our guides say “WoW-Pro” and have the author’s (usually Jame) name in the title.

This is a known issue withThis is a known issue with the non-WoWPro guide. If you look on the list you should find the WoW-Pro version, this does not suffer from the same issue. If you are using the WoW-Pro guide then try shift-clicking it to reset it.

Howling FjordI can’t get Howling Fjord addon version to work, when I click on load guide, it goes directly to 100% completed as if the guide was empty

Other than that, I’d like to thank you a whole lot for your guides. Been using ’em since Classic WoW never got disapointed 🙂

swamp of sorrows (41)It tells me to get Mokthadin’s enchanment pt3 when in the previous STV seesion it only made me do the first and i’m currently on the 2nd one

Grizzly hills 75-77 guideGrizzly hills 75-77 guide has a misprint in the name… instead of sasha’s hunt it says Sashsa’s hunt. idc my gf is over here complaining to say something :X

Base addonAs well as the WoW-pro data, you also need to download the Tourguide addon from http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7674-TourGuide.html

Problem downloadingSo, here is the deal: When I download the addon and start the game, when I enter the addon page in the beginning, it says that the addon is dependency missing. In that way, the addon won’t work, any way to fix this?

Badlands 41-42Thought I would write all of this before I forget.

I had a bit of trouble with the “Study of the elements : Rock” quests. I there’s another mix up with two quests of the same name. A) Told me i’d finished the quest when I hadn’t. B) Never told me to get the second part of it…I was lucky I decided to grab it anyway.

As well as that, I think it would be nice to add more level checks in, so we know if we’re on track or need to grind a bit.

Currently working onCurrently working on revamping this section, thanks for the info!

31-41Ok, just finished 31-41. Not including what i’ve already posted:

-The “Mount up and ride back to Hammerfall” note should be on Foul Magics (Part 2) rather than The Broken Sigil, as Foul Magics is the quest we are told to turn in first.

-Tomtom points in the wrong direction when told to “Travel to the Badlands” for the first time.l

-Told to pick up the quest Lack of Surplus (Part 2) but then never do anything with it?

Also, I would like to mention that the order in which we are told to pick up quests should be looked at. I would often be told to take one of the two quests an NPC had to offer, walk to the other side of town, and then walk back again to take the second quest =(

I may have missed one or two things as my original notes paper was thrown out >.< But otherwise everything's A OK.
Moving onto 41 - 51 ^_^

Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide – Hellfire Peninsula guide is asking for turn in for “Source of the Corruption” before it has sent you on the quest

also. i have just finishedalso. i have just finished testing the 1-12 undead part of the guide. first of all a very good guide and accurate with the progress. however here are some things i found wrong with it. At war with the scarlet crusade part 3 and 4 needs cords. also i had a large problem with a new plague part 2. where you have to get the murloc fins. it did not pop up when i was in northern tirisfall and i went on without the proggres. it could have been my mistake but i doubt it since i did not get a message to hand it in. and finally i now have a 12 character from this guide. is there a particular section for that level that needs to be tested?

i suggest making a separatei suggest making a separate forum for every part of the guide. seems it will be easier to keep track of that way

I agree. I think, when JameI agree. I think, when Jame goes through these guides, he is planning on adding more circuits to help counter this.

Yup here is fine, we have aYup here is fine, we have a bug reporting page but I think it’s having some problems, so posting here works.

Please be very specific with what section you are talking about, so it’s easy to find and fix the problem.

so is this where we shouldso is this where we should post our test data so that the addon could be revised and the bugs fixed if there are any? cause im interested in helping out with it

Sounds fine to meLike the title says, sounds fine to me. It would save me a lot of tabbing out =P

Arathi Basin 35-37Now, this is more of a problem with the actual guide…but I think that there shouldnt be any need to grind 10k or so experience near the end of the Arathi Basin part of the guide. Surely there are more quests that can be done to get this experience? I know I didn’t pick up a few while following the guide.

First off, let me say thankFirst off, let me say thank you so much for the hard work you are doing, and for being so clear in your bug reports.

I do have a request to make, however. Would it be possible to, instead of making a post for each individual bug, to continue to make notes and when you come to the end of the 31-41 section, make one post, or even just PM me, with all the bugs at once? This would probably make things easier for us. This would mean keeping track of bugs as you go in some sort of notepad file (or even good ole paper and pencil!)

I know this might be a little more work for you though, so feel free to keep doing it like this if you like 🙂

Hillsbrad Foothills 35-35 – Helcular’s Revenge This quest gives wrong coordinates for the town of Southshore. Points to somewhere in Alterac Mountains instead.

This section is need of aThis section is need of a serious revamp. I’ll probably get to it towards the end of the month, sort of on hiatus from this stuff till then due to finish classes and moving. But I’ll look into this when this section is re-done 🙂

Crystal in the MountainsActually, after having read the written guide, I don’t think the quest given by the pendant is ever completed. Maybe remove this from the addon altogether?
