Jame’s Leveling Guide: Addon Version – Cataclysm Ready

Huh?

Most of your answerHuh?

Most of your answer must be directed to someone else I guess 🙂

Either that or you have some serious skills (even though they fail since
I most definately am using the WoW-pro guides) in distance-mind-reading since
you can by no means draw that conclusion from what I wrote…

Anyway, the last part answered my question good enough so I am satisfied for now.

Hmmm, unless you are usingHmmm, unless you are using Scoot’s addon guides, I am a little worried that you have actually not been using our guides with the addon. WoW-Pro doesn’t have any officially guides past Grizzly Hills. So I think you may have been using the default tour guide guides.

All of our guides say “WoW-Pro” in the title. But maybe you already knew this and were just using the tour guide ones to fill in the holes!

As to your question, Jame has been pretty busy in RL lately and hasn’t been writing guides. It’s possible he’ll get some done before the expansion hits, but its more likely that, if he does come back to guide writing, we’ll only see Cataclysm guides for a while.

Any chance of a JameAny chance of a Jame Zul’Drak, Scholazaar Basin, Stormpeaks and Icecrown version of the addon guides?

Great Scott!It’s good to be admin!

On a more serious note, this is my favorite site and it has helped me enjoy WoW even more. You have put in an amazing amount of work, and it is truly appreciated!

Jiyambi has done a great job keeping this site rolling and I love that everyone is willing to help. I hope to have the knowledge to contribute soon, but until then, I’ll keep testing.

Keep hitting 88 mph, and whatever else it takes to keep up the good work! 😀

O.oI knew it!

No one could do all this stuff without time travel! Does it really look like a Police Call Box?

Nope, even as the siteNope, even as the site administrator I cannot cheat on dates.

The real reason is: I can time travel!

The front page is organizedThe front page is organized by date. As the site administrator, Jame can put any date he wants on things. So this one has a future date to keep it on top since it’s important.

2010? wtf

Unfortunately, you will haveUnfortunately, you will have to copy+paste your progress every time you change computers. Just copy the your character’s folder from the WTF folder in your WoW directory, and paste it into the WTF folder in the WoW directory on the second computer.

2 computersIs it possible to use the addon on 2 computers? How do i copy the progress between the 2?

This is a lua file, it isThis is a lua file, it is impossible for it to hack you. If you are using an auto-downloader or opening .exe files, that can possibly compromise your computer. Somehow a keylogger made it’s way onto your system. However, the lua file downloaded from this site cannot do anything outside of wow (after you’ve already entered your password) so there is no way it could have hacked you.

I suggest getting some anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, and also getting an authenticator, to help prevent these type of issues.

got hackedwhen i downloaded the guide and all the other stuff for it i ended up getting hacked from it any thing happen 2 anibody else?

Ok then, I’ll just have toOk then, I’ll just have to deal with it. Thanks for the effort anyway. 🙂

Hmm, unfortunately I’m notHmm, unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the guides and/or coding on the Alliance side. Has it done this with other quests, or are these three the only problems? My advice for now would be to try uncheck the completed steps, and if that doesn’t work just be extra careful to open the guide and complete each step for this section. It *shouldn’t* be doing this as long as you are allowing it to auto-complete the quest accept steps, and hopefully the next section of guide will not exhibit this issue. Sorry I don’t have more helpful advice 🙁

–Thanks for your reply. 🙂

In this case, I accepted the quest ”Mudrock Soup and Bugs” in Dustwallow Marsh 38-40 (Alliance), however the progress has already been checked, even though I am steps ahaid of that phase of the guide. When I scroll down I see that 2 other quests, and this one, I am on now as well are also already turned in..even though thats near to te actual end of the guide.

Any ideas? 🙂

Thank you again,
Gratch

This happens because you areThis happens because you are checking off a step you have no actually done yet. Tour Guide gets really confused when you do this, and checks off the follow ups to it as well, assuming that since the quest is not in your log, you must already have done it. If this is NOT the case, please let me know if there is a specific quest giving you trouble or is it all of them?

Basically, try being sure to allow Tour Guide to automatically check off the quest accept step after you get the quest, rather than checking it off yourself. If it still is doing what you describe, or doesn’t automatically check off the accept quest, it means there is either something wrong with the coding or you are somehow accepting the wrong quest (perhaps the wrong step in a chain). Please give us some more details about what’s going on and I’ll do my best to help 🙂

Auto-check?Hey!

I really like this AddOn, use it to level all my alts. However, whenever I accept a quest, it also checks turning it in & the progress (for example: kill mob x at location y). This way I cant use the arrows…which is very annoying and basically takes out the use of the AddOn. Anyone know a way to fix this?

Thank you in advance

Need Help.My cousin showed me this and i thought it was a fantastic idea. I attempted to open it and come to find out my interface foler is missing. I know it could have been renamed but ive yet to find anything of the sort. Anyone know what i can do to find it?

Thanks

I doubt anyone would rip offI doubt anyone would rip off a freebie, no matter how good it is.

They ripped off the guideThey ripped off the guide many years ago (back in Classic), but I’m not sure if they’ve changed it since then. Probably.

Idemise are ok, no worriesIdemise are ok, no worries there. They’ve had many other guide versions in the past, and quite a few leveling guides have been put into TourGuide format lately.

Copie?From the looks of it I think this site “www.teamidemise.com/index2.php” might be selling copies of James leveling addon.

I CAN NOT! confirm it since I’ll never buy any leveling guides tho the screen shot shows a guide very similar to james.

Well, maybe this does notWell, maybe this does not belong to this page, but I’ve recently started a Dreanei, and I’m going through Snowflake’s Guide 1-12, and so on to Sven’s 13-20 Guide, etc.

So far, I’m level 12 with 3 hours 40 minutes /played!!
Things that could be reason to why I was ‘behind’ Holyjame’s leveling speed where: [list]
[*]I’m a hunter – The Pet class quest did take some time.
[*]A waypoint were bugged, it telled me to go through the whole land, when the quest giver was very close to me – I wasted 15 minutes there.
[/list]

I will start working on Sven’s guide today 🙂

Addon co-ordsGreat addon and an excelent guide loving it 😀

(6days /played at level 70 with my new Enhancement Shaman)

Just like to point out… that for the Thassarian quests in Borean Tundra, the arrow points you to the wrong place… while the lightheaded co-ordinates appear to be correct…

Also seems the co-ords for a few quest starters are missing…. so far i’ve just had to click them as checked and move onto the next one hoping that they’re not part of a big chain…. (XP hasn’t really been a problem due to this… although I suspect having 20% increased XP from BoA gear might be helping there)

UpdatesJame’s been away on RL stuff for quite a long time. I’m in email contact with him, and he keeps saying he’s coming back, but I’m not sure when. I actually had three people message me about him this weekend. I sent him an email asking him to post some sort of news update on the site explaining what’s up.

Update?Is there any ETA for guide updates? This version is a few months old now… is the project inactive?

Edit: BTW – I just submitted a bug report for the 1-12 Draenei guide. I see now I was not using a WoW-Pro guide. Please nix it!

Horde GuideThe horde guide for levels 42-43 Stranglethorn Vale has a problem with the Bloodsail Buccaneers quests (parts 4 onward) — seems to be skipping a couple of parts, screwed me up pretty bad

Thanks!I’ll check into that the next time I’m questing in Grizzly Hills.

Absolutely fantasticJame,
I’ve addicted to leveling, and so far have 2 80’s, several 70’s, and I just started a new hunter a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been using one of the more popular leveling guides (which isn’t free), and I was getting tired of the repetition, so I decided to install your addon guide, and I can’t tell you how angry I am that I wasted money on the paid guide. Yours is SO MUCH BETTER! It’s so simple to set up, and all the quest stacking makes sense and is easy to follow. The toon I’m currently working on with your guide is lvl 62, and I’ve been getting 200K experience/hour! Really amazing work. Thanks so much for putting in all the time and effort.

You rock!

P.S. I created this account solely to let you (and everyone else) know that your guides are simply the best. Thanks again!

Alliance.

It actually seemsAlliance.

It actually seems to do it with several of the quest giver/receivers in that little camp in Granite springs (notably Prigmon).

Thanks for the awesome guide!

It says that because IIt says that because I haven’t gone in and updated it to say it’s up to date with the new patch. It is, however, up to date, you’ll just have to check “Load out of date addons” for it to work.

Unfortunately this happens aUnfortunately this happens a lot 🙁 We’ve tried various ways of fixing it, but it seems that no matter what we do, someone is unhappy or still uses the wrong guides. So no worries, you aren’t alone, and sorry for the mix-up!

??I just installed the add on (including all of the others needed to run it), clicked the link it said to and it says “out of date” (I’m talking about the actual Wow-Pro one) under my add on screen on WoW. Does it say that for everyone or is there a different download I was supposed to use?

Thanks for the quick replyThanks for the quick reply Jiyambi. I was afraid you’d say that, since I’ve been using the wrong guides and will now have to manually check the quests I’ve completed. Ah well, now I will know for future reference. Keep up the great work.

The ones that don’t sayThe ones that don’t say WoW-Pro are not from this site, and were not written by Jame. They are guides that come with the addon Tour Guide (which we didn’t write – we just use it to bring our guides into the game).

Basically – use the guides with “WoW-Pro” in the title, unless there isn’t a guide for the zone you want (such as Sholazar or Storm Peaks).

Hey Jame
Thanks for theHey Jame
Thanks for the addon to the tourguide. I’ve been using it for quite a while and love it. Not sure this has been answered yet, after the 3.2 patch when opening the guides, it shows |WowPro with author, zone and level in the top half, but the bottom half just shows zone and level. What is the difference between the top half with |Wow Pro and the other bottom half guides? I wasn’t sure which one to use. Thanks for your answer.

Post ErrorPlease post the error message. That will help us track down the problem.

Faction?Which faction, Alliance or Horde?

Minor GlitchIn the Grizzly Hills section of the guide addon, whenever it sends you to talk to Samir (ie, for the quest turn ins for Troll Season and Filling the Cages), the waypoint that gets sent to TomTom is *way* off…..it is putting the waypoint somewhere off the coast of Howling Fjord.

This may just be an issue with my machine, but it is always setting that waypoint to the exact same place.

Help PleaseJust recently, my addons for the Horde and Alliance leveling guides stopped working. Whenever ever i enable them, Tour Guide doesn’t even show up. I checked to make sure everything is up to date. But now every time i log on with the Wow-Pro Guides enabled i get an error message. Help please.

I’m not sure this isI’m not sure this is possible, but if it is it would be somewhere under the interface options for Tour Guide.

Does anyone know how to makeDoes anyone know how to make the TourGuide status frame (the one where the objects are shown) bigger? I’m using a small UI scale, and it’s the only thing I can’t read.

If the guide doesn’t have anIf the guide doesn’t have an author’s name, it’s not ours, it’s a default guide. It sounds like the guides aren’t loading in game for you, make sure you have the newest version and that “load out of date addons” is checked.

Missing AddonsHello,

Since 3.2 came out I’ve found out some Alliance guides are missing. All addons with an authors name are missing, and Alliance LvL 35 is missing from the list I am following (no author). It has 34 with Desolace, then skips to 36 in Stranglethorn.

Thank you very much forThank you very much for taking the time to register and post such nice feedback 🙂

AMAZING guide!i just wanted to say, this guide, which doesn’t cost a penny, is AMAZING, it is basicaly charity, and i have leveled SO fast with it, im really grateful, and i thank you veryveryvery much for the time which you’ve donated and keep up the great work!!! 🙂

Well I tried using thisWell I tried using this excellent guide for my way through the Eversong Woods and the Ghostlands, and I really only encountered two problems. The first was:

After following the guide all the way to the ‘War on Deathholme’ quest it seemed I were ‘far’ behind on experience point to be at the 20th level. I had indeed killed everything on my way thoruhg the guide, and had even completed my class-quest-chain. I had almost half a bar till the next level, so I saw the suggested grinding session as quite a long one.

The second problems was that somewhere you had misspelled the word ‘boat’ and wrote ‘baot’ instead. this was at the quest to retrieve the Kel’Dorei plans from that little island in the Ghostlands.

Well I hope you can use this input to make the guide even better. Right now it’s REALLY good – at least for my taste. Quite nice and smooth.

– Like is like a box of chocolate frogs, ya never know when they are gonna jump at ya.

Just a thanksI just have to say, this is the most amazing addon I’ve found thus far for WoW. The time and effort put into this must be staggering for what is essentially a charity project for new players (and altoholics like me) and I can’t possibly thank you enough. But if you will, try and imagine what it would have been like if I *had* thanked you enough. That’s what I’m aiming for.

Thank you.

Glad the guide is workingGlad the guide is working great for you, thanks very much for taking the time to post and leave us such nice feedback! 🙂
