Zygor Guide is one of the most popular leveling guides around. It’s part of the new breed of leveling guides that have gone interactive, meaning the guide is presented as in-game software, making the leveling process much faster, easier, and interactive. No more alt-tabbing out of the game. The game is a nice leap forward and engineered for even the most casual of gamers. Let’s take a look at Zygor Guide and see if it’s what it’s cracked up to be.

Zygor Guide is one of a handful of WoW leveling guides that has the new in-game guide mod feature. Depending on which leveling guide you get, Zygor, Joana’s Guide, or Dugi’s Guide, your in-game features will vary. To simplify, each guide will offer something a little different. Let’s take a look and see what Zygor Guide is all about.

The guide is basically an in-game window with all the information you will need throughout the leveling process. The window comes in two flavors, which you can switch between at will. They are not shown at the same time. The first one is the big window aka the big guide. This has all the information you need to know to level up with, such as: coordinates, who to speak to, where to complete the quest, etc. It also shows what steps have been completed so you don’t accidentally backtrack. You won’t be using this window much while leveling up, it’s somewhat bulky and takes up a good amount of screen. It’s there primarily for use when you need more detail or at the completion of a quest in order to get more information on the next task. Window two is small and transparent, it only shows the immediate task at hand. This is the window that you will have on screen the majority of the time. It’s very useful with just the necessary information to get the job done.

Another feature of the Zygor Guide is the in-game arrow that points you in the direction you need to go to complete a quest. It’s a small compact arrow that does not take up much screen area. This is a handy little feature.

The next main feature is the waypoints that show on your mini-map and your main map. The original release of the in-game Zygor guide used to show a ton of waypoints. This was because it showed all the necessary steps you needed to level up. This was a cluttered mess. Now it just shows the waypoint of whatever quest you have highlighted on the in-game guide. This is positive because it means only the active quest waypoint shows. You now have a clear map. On the main map, when you place your cursor over the waypoint it shows you what you need to do when you get there. Useful addition.

The guide has an options feature where you can control aspects of the in-game guide, such as window opacity, waypoint size, guide size, icons size, and so on. These are multiple options and provide a degree of control that will prove useful for most gamers.

Zygor Guide – Horde And Alliance Leveling is a well implemented guide, especially for beginners. In-game guides provide a fast way of leveling up so that you can get to parts of the game where you can really have fun, there are multiple in-game guides out there so do your research to find one that suits you. Well, I hope you liked this critical review of the Zygor Guide. Happy gaming!

The Zygor Guides are a new breed of in-game, Horde and Alliance leveling guide for the World of Warcraft and is produced by the long time player of World of Warcraft, John Cook.

Leveling guides, that help you level faster, have always been popular with World of Warcraft players who are often time constrained in the real world and who want to get their favorite character from 1-80 in double quick time.

Most players will agree that the fastest way to level a character in World of Warcraft is to complete as many quests in a given zone as quickly and efficiently as possible. Traditional guides in this area have relied on detailed, step by step manuals explaining how to complete a given set of quests in a fixed sequence to achieve this. This can result in tedious game-play, with constant reference to the manual, and it’s easy to get lost in the detail.

Zygor’s Guides do away with tedious manuals and come complete in the form of an in-game addon. Addons or mods as they are sometimes called are small programs that add extra features to the game interface and are fully supported as legitimate extensions to the game by Blizzard.

With Zygor’s guide installed, there is no more Alt+Tabbing to leave the game to read a manual. Instead, Zygor brings up a Quest Tracker panel that gives you the detail of each quest that you need to complete in a given zone.

A nice feature of the Zygor addon is that it comes complete with its own map coordinate and button system. Quest items and NPCs are located both on the minimap and main map using a small button marker and set of coordinates making it a snip to locate quest givers and quest targets. No more searching on thottbot for the obscure location of a quest item – Zygor Guide points the way – literally – and leads your there. This feature is a huge factor in reducing your leveling time.

Unlike other traditional guides, the Zygor Guide in-game system has been written for both Horde and Alliance factions (sold as separate mods) and caters for all character classes – not just the horde hunters class.

The latest release of Zygor Guide is fully compatible with the latest patch 3.03 and levels player right the way from 1-80.
