When searching for a wow leveling guide I had to ask myself the simple question of, What does a wow leveling guide bring me that the wonderful questhelper addon does not? Of course the only true way for me to answer that question was to purchase a guide. I purchased Zygor Leveling Guide and installed both the guide and questhelper.

I had been using quest helper for a little over a year but I immediately saw the benefit of using Zygor Leveling Guide. What I was able to conclude was that instead of using one or the other I would use both.

Zygor Leveling guide provides excellent quest routes and actually makes the game ten times more enjoyable to play. It provides great directions and now instead of not really know what to do I find myself enjoying the game more because the downtime is non existent; I finish a quest and the leveling guide tells me what quest to do next all very seamlessly. So indeed the benefit of having Zygor as my leveling guide does show in the speed and overall ability to enjoyment of world of Warcraft.

Questhelper brings a new dynamic to the WOW leveling experience. If you’re only using questhelper you’ll see that the quest routes are very choppy at best and often times outdated or simply wrong. On more than one occasion I found myself standing on top of the exact spot questhelper was telling me a cave should exist only to find that I was in the middle of a field. Questhelper is free and thus you get what you pay for. What questhelper does do that Zygor does not is provide you with easy scroll over information on mobs. For instance if you needed to kill 10 boars Zygor guide tells you where to go to find them, however questhelper actually places text in a helper window when you scroll over a boar that tells you what quest you will complete by killing the boar and how many more you need to kill to complete the quest.

So as a diehard fan of questhelper and now a new lover of Zygor leveling guide I can wholeheartedly say that instead of using one or the other, using both is probably the best way to go as they both bring a new level of help to your questing experience.

A few days ago I decided to create a new Blood Elf character. Dreading the long grind to the higher levels, I decided to buy the Zygor Leveling Guide for the Horde & see if it would really help level my character faster. Here are my impressions from the first couple of days of using Zygor.

I hadn’t found previous leveling guides to be of much use. As much as anything else, that’s because of the way you had to keep jumping in and out of the game to consult the guide. It got so frustrating that for a while I used two computers whenever I played: one for the game, and another to display the current guide page. Not only was it a pain in the neck, but it disrupted the flow and pulled my head out of the game world whenever I had to consult the guide.

Zygor Guides work within World of Warcraft. What does that mean? It means that the guide information appears in a window right inside the game. The information is easier to access, and you can stay “in” the game, which makes the whole experience much smoother and more fun.

You’re also in control of the amount of information the guide gives you. You can close the Zygor Guide window completely if you just want to focus on playing. You can have a small window with the minimal amount of information, just enough to let you know what your next objective is. If you want even more information, you can switch to a large window that displays all the details about your current leveling activity. There’s even an interactive arrow that you can display on the screen, showing you the distance and direction of the next objective. You get all the information you need without ever having to look away from the game.

All that’s cool, but you’re probably wondering if the Zygor Leveling Guide accomplishes its mission of helping you level super fast. Well, when I was ready to test the guide for the first time, my brother offered to escort me with one of his characters that was several levels higher than mine. I told him what I was doing & that I would do this session on my own, following the advice in Zygor. We both started playing, and he checked in on me a few hours later. His reaction says all you need to know about how well these guides work. His first comment was, “Hey! How the #3$%^& did your guy get so big so fast? Can my guy come with yours next time?”

A shaman can be a very fun class to play. Shamans are not as good as rogues when It comes to PvP, but they can be strengthened as well. When you start a new shaman, you should ask yourself: ‘What talent build do I want? ‘There are several build available for shamans. I highly recommend the ‘Enhancement Build‘. This build is the easiest way to level.

What is the enhancement build?

The enhancement build is the talent tree that focuses primarily on increase the enhancement skills. This will increase your overall attack. The main advantage of this is that you will use less mana. With the amount of money you save, you can buy gear that is way better.

I already chose this talent build, what more can I do to level faster?

Well, leveling all depends on which area’s you grind and how efficient you do your quests.  It is all about getting as much experience as you can as fast as possible. One way that helps is increasing your bag size. You are an ‘Enhancement shaman’, so you will melee often. Melee classes often need to refill more often than other classes. The best way to counter this is to get a very large bag. This should be fairly easy, since you save a lot of money on mana.

If you are above level 40, you can take on some mobs easily. However, this all depends on your gear and stats. It is very difficult to select a good location to train, even for professionals. This is because some locations don’t give enough experience, some area’s are too tough or overcrowded.

There is no doubt that a feral build druid is the best druid in World Of Warcraft. By using the feral skill, you save a lot of mana. This translates to more money in your pocket and more gold to spend on gear and weapons. So you want to be a feral druid? Well, there is only one choice left to make: “Do you want to have a strength build or an agility build?” Of course, you should also find good grind spots.

Strength Feral Druid Build

The main advantage of a strength feral druid is at lower level. You can hit enemies harder and use less mana. This gives you enough gold for a bigger bag in a very short amount of time. Having a bigger bag makes it easier to level, since you have to replenish less often.

Agility Feral Druid Build

Agility is way better for a druid at higher levels. However, it makes you level slow at lower levels. You can also aim for a hybrid build. My friend has a hybrid build. He has added a lot of strength in the lower levels. When he became higher, he could easily switch up gear and go for agility. He leveled so fast, that he was kicked by his guild for ‘Hacking and botting.’ I asked him if that was true. He said that he wasn’t hacking. But how did he level so fast? He said to me: ‘It’s all about how you choose the best grinding area for your current feral druid build.’
