by SnowflakeAs mentioned in this news post, all of Jame’s Leveling Guides will be revamped, to adapt to the changes that were introduced with patch v2.3.
Since many have been asking, I’m going to list approximate release dates as I’m in charge of testing the guides and adapting them. I’m currently running through the horde guides with a Blood Elf character and making leveling guides for blood elves at the same time, because they were lacking.
- November 22:
Release of Guide to Ghostlands (12-21)(Done: Guide can be found here) - November 28:
Revamp of Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide (21-30)(Done: Guide can be found here (url didn’t change)) - December 10:
Revamp of Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide (31-40)(Done: Guide can be found here) - December 29/30 :
Revamp of Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide (41-50)(Done: Guide can be found here) January 19 : Revamp of Jame’s Horde Leveling Guide (51-60)(Done: Guide can be found here)Will finish editing maps for Boston’s Guide tomorrow so a 20-30 guide is already available (sorry about the delay)(Done: Boston should upload the images very soon, you can find his guide here)Draenei starting guide is all written up, just need to make maps, should be done 11 February. (Done: guide can be found here)25 February: Finishing testing of Boston’s 20-30 guide and posting comments & suggestions(Done)- March 10/11:
Revamp of Jame’s Alliance Leveling Maps aren’t redone yet, should be done tomorrow or the day after.(Done: Guide can be found here) - End of March (possibly earlier): Revamp of Jame’s Alliance Leveling Guide Chapter II.
Please remember that these are very rough estimations. I’ll try to meet the deadlines whenever possible but never expect guides to appear on the exact day stated, delays of 1-2 days are more than probable, hence please be patient, we are really doing our best.
The more help we get the faster we can release the updated versions, so if you can/want to help out, shoot me a Private Message.
Take your time mate, good toTake your time mate, good to see you back:-)
(No subject)<3 Thanks Jame 🙂
ETA is: couple of weeks.ETA is: couple of weeks.
Revamp 40-50How’s it going with the revamp atm? I just can’t wait anymore till they get released 🙁 My priest(s) are way too eager to continue leveling…
(yes, i know i could do it without — but i just love the way the levelingguides work so far)
Any update about this?
Can we get an updated ETACan we get an updated ETA please?
So optimize itYou’re right you are paying for your time.. But Spamming f5 on the page to get the release of the guide could be better spent Learning how to PVP your toon, or rolling an alt or Mastering the Auction house so when you do hit 70 you can have enuf to buy ur epic flyer. The game doesn’t require directions to level. It has them built into it. Is there an “Optimum Leveling circuit from 1-70” I’m sure there are PLENTY Are some quests useless and there only for flavor? or something to do when you’re bored? YES. I know what you’re saying. I have several toons that i’m going to use to test the guide, to Help Jame out because I really do like the guides. However I’ve decided to focus on one of my characters and just level him because its fun.
I waited around for like a week for the release of the 40-50 guide and in that time i’ve Got my nether drake and leveled one of the toons i’ve had sitting at 40 for a while now to 50. and they will probably be 70 before the 50-60 guide is revamped.
What I meant is thatWhat I meant is that following a guide all the way to 70 means you only are as good as what you have experienced during the leveling process.
That means that if you followed Jame’s guide you will have no idea what kind of gear to get, how to do quests by yourself, and most importantly – no instancing and/or PvP experience. And if you do have instancing/PvP experience, it means you didn’t follow the guide exactly, which proves my point.
Unless, of course, you already have a ton of 70s, in which case I don’t understand why you need a leveling guide anymore.

First of all, thanks forFirst of all, thanks for making all of these guides Jame I first used them over a year ago to get my main to 70 and I’ve been coming to Wow-pro ever since(I just made an account recently).
I can’t wait until your 40-50 guide to come out I have 3 level 40 characters who are asking you to hurry up! 😛
Best wishes,
Joey 🙂
legend!Thanks! Jame you’re a legend and also I’ve got 4 70’s thanks to you man, you’re a legend }:)
lol/agree
as nice as Jame’s guides are. They dont teach you to play wow. You could very well be 70 by now, and if you dont know where to go Instance, You’re level 40 theres alot of instances at that level. PvP. Start an alt. L2AH. Jame’s guides aren’t the strict instructions for playing wow.
I dont reccomend Jame’s guides to anyone who’s never played or is new to either horde or alliance. There are some amazing stories that blizz has put in place. Some of them Aren’t covered by Jame’s guides and you dont get the story unless you read the quest text anyways.
Jame We love your guides but make sure they are right.. dont rush. I would rather have a quality guide then have a guide that was rushed to get out so that people stop whining about it.
Dont mean to be a jerk… but oh well. i sound like one.

If we level like that thenIf we level like that then there’s no purpose to the guides might as well not write them. What we want is the most efficient way to level and that’s what the guides provide. This is like saying you don’t directions to get from new york to california because you know you just have to keep going west and eventually you’ll get there. The point of the directions is so you don’t get lost or make mistakes along the way. We pay for our time so we want to optimize it.
Really?I’ve levelled multiple characters to 70 without the use of any guide. I just happen to enjoy experimenting with ways to level in minimum time.
It’s a pity that you completely missed the joke.
MaybeWell maybe he, like me, is levelling an alt, which means im not new to the game and just wants to level it as fast as humanly possible 🙂
Doesnt make him a noob at 70 just cus he cant be arsed to level by himself 🙂

DisagreeI have to say that I disagree with what you’re saying there. You’re basically saying that following a leveling guide makes you half a noob. But why is that? Following a guide still makes you play your own character and therefore get to know about it for 100% if not more… What makes you a noob then?
What you’re talking about is a levelingservice where you let your char be played to 70 and therefor you’ve got no experience in playing the class at all when you’re level 70.
That’s a big difference from a leveling guide like Jame’s. That’s just all about efficiency and speed –one of the fastest ways to get level 70.
Well, if you simply can’tWell, if you simply can’t wait to level up your characters, why don’t you do it yourselves? You should know by now Jame’s tactic: go into a new zone, gather all quests you can find and then actually read the quest message to know what you have to kill, where you have to go, etc. And, no, I don’t believe you don’t know how to do that.
Following a leveling guide all the way to 70 can be a bad thing, because after that you will be just half a noob, and 1/2 noobs don’t get too far in the end-game world. Take advantage of these ‘waiting periods’ and try to do something on your own.
Really, not trying to sound harsh at all… <.<

No hurry, but any idea on anNo hurry, but any idea on an updated ETA? Soon will suffice if thats all we can get.
Thanks for all your time and effort to put together these great guides!!
thats what i’m doing rightthats what i’m doing right now, leveling 9 chars at the same time. i have always more levels than the guide show though, because of rest bonus.
ThanksFirst let me thank you guys for the BEST frikkin guides out there… They are a million times better then the pay ones. ( I know i’ve looked )
Also if you guys need any help with formating Let me know i will be happy to test for ya.
I was thinking the sameI was thinking the same thing but didn’t want to be the first to say lol
i would seriously love toi would seriously love to see the release as well…
just can’t wait to level my priest further to 50 🙂
Alliance Chapter IIIt’s past the end of March.
Just thought I’d point that out.
Really…no pressure at all. 😉
I think it would be wiser ifI think it would be wiser if you just focus on getting ONE character to 70, then another one and so on…

A change in tactics ;-)So, I’ve changed the plan a bit 😉
Goal is to have a 70 Alliance of every class.
1) all to lvl 12
2) then full rested per 2 levels (so get one to 14 then rest and next char)
I think overall it’ll take longer to get there, but with the rested bonus the played per char should greatly diminish (all classes also prevents the boredom of rushing a single class to 70 😉 )
J
HmmWell, rested bonus is definitely going to give you a major boost in XP gained from mobs, but I’ve never played a shaman before and I don’t know how fast a shaman usually levels. But if you follow Jame’s leveling guides, I’d say somewhere around 7 or 8 days /played.

Estimated time 1 – 70Hiya, I’m planning on levelling a Draenei (Shaman) via the WoW-Pro guides:
1 – 12: Draenei Guide
12 – 20: Sven’s Guide
20 – 30: Boston’s Guide
30 – 70: Jame’s Guides
What would be a good estimate on the played time? (no professions and only rested xp from logging out till the next day)
J
Yes, there will be revampsYes, there will be revamps of the 40-50 and 50-60 Alliance guides. ETA is unclear, most likely April or May.
And yes, you should keep on following the old guides, they are still better than no guide at all. If you end up in area where all quests are grey, just skip to the next circuit.
Hey Jame I have a lv 46Hey Jame I have a lv 46 alliance character and I stopped using your Lv41-50 guide because I got about 3 lvs above it and some quest were not going to give any more exp and I saw that u were updating it. My question is are you going to create an updated lv 50-60 guide or not? And if so how long will it take and should I use your current one or not?
SweetThat’s awesome! :jawdrop: I can’t wait to check it out with my warlock!
Mid marchMid march :p
I’m chomping at the bitI’m chomping at the bit waiting for the revamp :jawdrop: Thanks for making all these guides Jame.
I’m sorry this may soundI’m sorry this may sound stupid but what does 1/2 march mean? the 1st or second of march?
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
I just finished levelling aI just finished levelling a character from 1 to 60 on the old alliance levelling guide and it took me 5 days 6 hours played time. This is by no means a record after patch 2.3 but it’s still fairly fast in my eyes. I’m looking forward to the revamped versions to see how much faster it would be.
Hey Jame, I can’t wait forHey Jame, I can’t wait for the Revamp of Jame’s Alliance Leveling Guide 30-40. I hope its not delayed. Many thanks,
fosco
Thanks :)Hey Jame, I’d like to thank you for writing these levelling guides, as It has made WoW a much more pleasurable experience for me.
However, is there any way you can incoporate more instances in to you future levelling guides, and perhaps for those who do not want to do them there are optional quest curcuits? It’s not too much of a bother, It’s just i don’t want to get to 60 on my priest and not have a clue how to heal, and instances are generally fun and provide a gear upgrade.
Anyways, despite that minor concern, your guides are simply superb, and once again, thanks 🙂
Thanks in advance, andThanks in advance, and please do post your results!
Thank youThank you 🙂
Just wanted to say that IJust wanted to say that I will be running a Horde and an Alliance character, when it is finished, through the guides. Not only am I doing this for the guide’s benefit, but for myself as well 🙂 I have yet to hit 70 and I’ve had the game for a year 5 months now. I’m sure I can tough out 65-70 by myself. So thank you Jame and Snowflake for these, and I’ll be sure to post any faults that I find, but I’m sure there, if any, are few and far between.
