Leveling and Questing Guides

I was actually thinkingI was actually thinking about the amount of exp you get – lower lvl quests and mobs give less exp then regular. I dont know though whether the amount of exp for regular quests compensates for the time spent. If my ultimate goal is to level as fast as possible, and I don’t care for gold that quests might give at 80, should I skip a zone or not?

Jame has often set some ofJame has often set some of his leveling in zones that are a little lower level than player’s current level. First of all, the quests are easier and you will complete them more quickly. Secondly, the more of the low level quests you do, the more high level quests will be available at level 80 to get some gold.

However if you like more of a challenge or don’t care about the end game gold, go ahead and skip to the next zone.

Keep in mind that the guides were written before heirlooms were available and before the dungeon finder made it easy to gear up, so the general difficulty level is a lot lower now than it once was.

quests are low levelI cant help noticing that leveling takes place in zones lower level than your toon. For example, lvl 72-74 guide is in Howling Fjord which is 68-72. Is there a reason for this?

Fastest leveling everJust leveled a Pally to 80 in 7 days 0 hours and 58 minutes using James’ add-on guide. I did have some help from bind on account items for 20% extra XP. But still… WOW!!! You a fool not to use the guide

Thanks a ton!Thanks a ton! I actually did use your guides on my paladin! I got him to 45 without ease but then got bored because i felt too overpowered… BTW i am almost 73 already 🙂

One recommendation – WhenOne recommendation – When you go to a new zone with your hunter, you can very easily jump into the next guide, if you want to.

Heirlooms can certainly be used with our guides! You may find yourself getting ahead of the guide. If you start doing gray quests, just skip ahead to a later zone. The guide is just that – a *GUIDE* not a rule, as many people seem to think. Feel free to skip parts! Watch out for quest chains, though, especially in the last part of the 50-60 section. Hopefully we’ll have some awesome features in our new addon that will make it easier to skip around!

For your tank… I’m assuming you meant which race should you be, not which class, since you seem to want to be a warrior! Well, if you were Horde side I’d recommend Tauren for the health buff. But honestly, I *never* pick a race based on the racial features – only based on the flavor. If you are going Alliance side, I am quite partial to dwarf warriors myself 😉 but pick whatever seems most fun to you!

I am on AllianceI just decided that I would simply finish leveling my hunter the hard way, but when i can get heirlooms ill make a warrior and follow your guide to 80. I definitly want an 80 warrior for cataclysm… seeing as worgen warrior is going to be a crazy tank! By the way, is using heirlooms with your guides ok? And what class should I be for a tank? I will obviously be switching to worgen anyway but i would prefer best tanking until then. Thanks Jame!

Alliance or Horde? I wouldAlliance or Horde? I would recommend just skipping the quests you’ve already done, and queuing up in the dungeon finder to help you catch up if this causes you to fall behind.

Just startedHey Jame! I just started using your guide but i’m not sure where to start. I have just leveled to 72 but I am mixed up because i have already done a lot of the quests for the howling fjord guide. Thanks!

I made another post on thisI made another post on this already in a different forums, but it can’t hurt to have it as many places as possible. I contacted Blizzard and they immediately asked if I had used curse client. I did. Apparently, they are getting a lot of calls about curse client and wowmatrix. They suggested I install add-ons manually and get rid of curse client.

They also mentioned that they are prevented from ‘posting’ this, but encourage spreading the word.

Thanks, it’s lovely.. but just one suggestion.Great guide, keep up the good work.
But if possible, could you add a check in the addon to see if you actually _have_ the quest.

Before you find yourself trying to do the ! part on some distant location but don’t have the ? part (anymore).

(even tho i was trying to follow the guide i still managed to get my quest log full and apparently abandoned the wrong one. 2 guides later i was doing a quest .. but ..didn’t have the actual quest in log. Good thing i noticed in time the drop rate more than sucked while doing something and found it out in time. but it still was some unneeded traveling to fix it again.)

Did u use addondid u use addon when u used the guide

I just want to say thank you.I’ve leveled my first character to 80 in just over 10 days /played time using Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide. This includes activities such as battlegrounds, profession training, and playing the auction house. If I just straight used the guide and did nothing else I’m sure I would have reached 80 in 8 or less days. This is amazing considering the claims that the pay guides make.

So I just want to thank everyone who’s helped to create the guides on this site. These guides are invaluable and, in my opinion, a ‘must have’ for WoW players. THANK YOU!!!

Thanks WOW-proLately became a member to post my thanks to Jame and all the other Guide guru’s of WOW-pro.
Thanks to your guides, WOW has gone from a dust collecter on my book shelf to being my favorite past-time 😉
Switched to Alliance server recently and leveled a hunter to 80 in just 7days 10hrs played time. I was amazed at the efficiency.

Well, my warlock guideWell, my warlock guide ([url=https://www.wow-pro.com/class_guides/destruction_levelling_path_less_travelled]Destruction levelling- the path less travelled[/url]) is up to date with the latest patch but still needs some work before it can be considered completed really

My warlock guide is out ofMy warlock guide is out of date, and I don’t plan to update it (lazy).

Hmm, again it depends onHmm, again it depends on which ones you are talking about. The date the guide was written should be visible at the top of the guide. Most authors post comments or make a note in their guide when they do an update, so I’d check for that.

the warlock/mage/hunterthe warlock/mage/hunter Guides. are the ones im most curious about

Depends on which ones youDepends on which ones you are talking about. Jame’s Death Knight guides are quite out of date, as are some of the early leveling guides. As for the more end-game guides, some of them are up to date, some are not, and some are in the process of being updated.

Are the class guides even up to date with 3.2.2?Subject Says it all. Im just curious.

I added this to the AddonI added this to the [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/wiki/addon_faq_page#hack]Addon FAQ[/url], so you can check out the answer there. Short answer – highly unlikely, but we suggest you use anti-spyware/anti-virus software, and an authenticator if possible, to protect your account.

got hackedI downloaded the addon and the components i needed for it to work and i got hacked. i think it was from the other addons not jame’s addon. Did this happen to anibody else?

Guide for Daily QuestI dont know if this exist already, if it does I couldnt find one, but it would be nice to have a guide with the location of all daily quest broken down by Alliance, Horde, Faction, Neutral, etc. I know there can be variable quest for things like Fishing and Cooking but just having the location for those quest givers would be great. If it were a stand alone addon that would be even better!

missing quest pickupjame, addon version or your guide is F$%&ING AWESOME, THANK YOU. there is a part in the first section of the guide where im instructed to take shindrell’s not to kayneth stillwind, but there is no instruction to pick up that quest on the way through astranaar, if i find anything else like this ill let you know, love your guide, thanks for taking the time to put it together!!

Horde version.

Also on theHorde version.

Also on the horde version, while I was doing the Feralas guide I noticed a quest had changed (not sure what patch). The quest “A Strange Request” apparently requires you to take the shrunken head to a guy in Feralas now.

“Witch Doctor Uzer’i in Feras”
Take the Shrunken Head to Xerash Fireblade at the Lariss pavillion in Feralas”

According to Wowhead this quest was changed in 3.2

You may wish to change it for the guide as well 🙂

Here is the wowhead link for the quest: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3121

Thanks,
Fleek

Thanks for the info! WasThanks for the info! Was this on the Horde or Alliance side?

I am having the same problemI am having the same problem with the quest “Stranglethorn fevor”. This is happening on the horde version of “Stranglethorn Vale”

I did the quest and the crossed swords part did not go away, so i tried checking it off, and it just stays checked on that quest. Looks like I’m going to have to use the website for this particular part of the guide.

Thanks,
Fleek

Side note: I disabled the addon and then re-enabled it as I was writting this and that seemed to fix the problem. Even so I figured I should still post this and let you know about the error.

Is this the Horde orIs this the Horde or Alliance guide? I seem to remember something like this occurring in the Horde guide, though I thought I had worked most of those bugs out.

Bug or not Bug that is the questionHi,
First up awesome guides, this my second time using them first on the addon.
I have noticed that on alot of the quests when the addon updates to say that you have aquired the quest it is automatically checking the do quest now symbol (cross swords) and the turn in quest indicator as well.

This has been happening on the STV and Hillsbrand / Arathi highlands section of the guide (32 – 34) I think.

I am not doing the quests in strict order, so didnt know if this matters or not. But didnt want to raise loads of bugs if it this.

Ta

If you’re talking about theIf you’re talking about the addon being updated, you can find that information [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/node/2587]here[/url]. In terms of the guide content, little fixes will be made as they are found, but the “paper” guides will probably wait until Jame has time to fix them.

3.2??does anyone have an idea if these guides are being updated for 3.2 and when? thanks 😀

Your English was fine,Your English was fine, thanks for registering and posting such a nice comment!

I believe the addon *should* work with Carbonite, just make sure Carbonite’s waypoint arrow is disabled – otherwise they might conflict. I don’t use Carbonite so I’m not sure exactly how to do this, but perhaps someone who is familiar with it can help.

JamieHello Jamie & Friends,

After playing WOW for quite some time I finally registred myself at WOW-Pro.
Hello to Everyone.

Jamie, if I may say this….
I hope you are doing fine now in RL.
I think that others may feel the same way…that you might handle the situation at your home.
I wish you the best of all luck.

To your friends, taking care of your guides and addon….
Yeah…those guides…..I used it and I like it.
Being at the start of Zuldrak and becoming Level 78.
So..it is fun.

About your addon!
I have a question!
Can this addon of yours work together with Carbonite?
I am a hugh fan of it.
But don’t take the risk to use your addon before I know there will be no trouble to suspect.

And for the rest….I hope you can keep up this great jobs of yours.

With Kind Regards,

Daroyski.
(I hope you can forgive my terrible English Grammar)

Hmmm, that just soundsHmmm, that just sounds weird. I have no idea why it would have been working fine and then vanish. It just really sounds like you might have been using the default tour guide guides – they were previously listed at the top of the guide list, above our guides, but are now located at the bottom. Try scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the list where the default guides are.

I am sorry about this, but I do know for a fact that we have no leveling guides from Jame for those zones. As far as I know, our addon has only one guide past Grizzly Hills, and that is for Icecrown and is only on the Alliance side. I’m really sorry that this isn’t working out for you, but I have never seen those guides so I have no idea how to recover them for you.

It’s possible that a user on this site did write optional guides for those zones and uploaded them as a separate file, but it definitely wasn’t part of the main download package from this site.

Can anyone else shine some light on this issue? I really wish I could help but I’m just not sure what guides you were originally using, and I definitely don’t know why they aren’t working now 🙁

Oh my…. 😕 The thing is… it was working fine up until a couple nights ago. I used this same add on guide for my now level 80 hunter, level 80 priest, 80 druid. It was working one moment, and then my UI freaked out. I ended up having to “reload” my ui, and that’s when it appeared that Sholazar, Storm Peaks and Icecrown disappeared. Yes, I have used the “wow-pro” guides all the way up to IC on all toons. It wasn’t until IC did I have to use “a different” type of guide.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled yalls tour guide now 5x … and it hasn’t changed. The alliance one is perfect, it has guides up to IC. (optional ones too)
I understand that directly you guys don’t have an actual SB guide, however … there WAS optional guides that DID DL with the tour guide before. How could it just…up and disappear? :O I KNOW I USED a guide through yalls site FOR SB for my horde toonS. Its what I used to get to the quests for the oracles there! I never got those quests UNTIL I got yalls guide add on?

I am assuming you are usingI am assuming you are using the default Tour Guide guides instead of our guides.

The Horde tour guide guides go up to Grizzly Hills on the newest version.

Make sure the guides you are using say “WoWPro” in the title – if they aren’t, they aren’t ours. Try downloading the new version as well.

Regardless, there are no guides currently available from WoWPro for Sholazar.

Oh my …. I went to try and load up this leveling guide on my 80 hunter, to do the Sholazar Basin quest line. When I try to find said guide on my list, it doesn’t go above Howling Fjord/Borean Tundra for levels 70-72. Even the “optional” guides do not go over to Sholazar…. 🙁

My alliance guides? Not a problem…. any info to help me on this problem is greatly appreciated.

Out of date add ons are loaded too…. 😕

ReplyWhat I normally did was jump to the next area. And if its a higher level than you go run a dungeon your level to catch up! 🙂 😀 🙂

Great Guides!Hello, and I just wanted to say Great guides! I’ve been using the addon one and its amazing.. Ill try and donate in the near future.. and to anyone that is thinking of trying this addon…. do it cause its worth it.

I have already pressed theI have already pressed the load out of date addons still getting the error message, I have tried re-installing them, but im so glad to hear about the release of newer addons. thnx for your help =)

Though they are “out ofThough they are “out of date” they should still work fine, just click “Load out of Date addons” on the addon selection screen. Jame will be releasing a new up-to-date version soon.

Check the Works in ProgressCheck the Works in Progress page, the guide exists but just hasn’t been released in one of the main versions yet.

updatesDo you know if the horde addon guides have been updated?? I wanted to start a new DK but when I try to use them im gettign an error and its saying the addon guides are out of date I really loved leveling my first DK with them and I have become reliant on them because they are so awesome.If so could you post a link please.

There is one, but only asThere is one, but only as “paper version”, it has not been written for the addon, yet: [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/class_guides/jame_death_knight_leveling_guide_55-60_alliance]Alliance DK Guide[/url]

jame firstly i love thejame firstly i love the addon guides they ROCK!!! i used them to get my DK (im loving it) secondly i just wanted to ask why there is no guide for alliance DKs?

alliance lvling guide addonHi there, just want to say these guides are fab i have been using them for all my character over all their lvls, however i just wondered why there is an alliance online dragonblight guide but it is not included in the alliance addon guide :S as my next guide is for grizzily hills lvl 75 but im only lvl 74 and your online guide’s do included the lvl 74-75 guide :S

Hah, no need to feel thatHah, no need to feel that way, the reason I was so excited is because now I have something to tell all the [i]other[/i] people who have been complaining about the same thing 😉

aaah now i see lol, o dear iaaah now i see lol, o dear i feel like an idoit! well thanks for telling me. I can now level fast again 😀

AHA! Thank you so much forAHA! Thank you so much for the screenshot, you have confirmed something I have been theorizing for quite a while now.

You see, some people have had this problem with the Howling Fjord guide and others, like me, have not.

The problem is with [b][i]Tour Guide’s default guide[/b][/i], NOT our WoW-Pro guide. I’m sorry to say it, but you’ve been using the [b][i]wrong guides all along[/b][/i].

Check your addon screen and make sure WoW-Pro’s guides are enabled. WoW-Pro’s guides ALL say “WoW-Pro” and the author’s name (in this case Jame) in their titles, NEVER just the zone name. The current guides are “out of date” so you need to enable out of date addons for them to work.

Hope this helps, and again thanks so much for the screenshot, the mystery is now solved!
