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.’

The race to power level your newest character is on. On average you can expect 8-10 days of play time. Or 192 hours of time you need to spend killing and questing at a rate of 4 hours a day this can take quite a bit of time to completely get a character from level 1 to 70. While it is possible this task is not an easy one.

So what can you do to give yourself a little edge? Simply follow these few hints to help you cut that playing time down.

Questing is by and far the fastest way to power level a character. This might seam like common sense, however there are some people that refuse to do it. The reason questing is so beneficial to leveling is because of the massive boosts in exp you get in one shot. In addition to the one shot experience you get for completing a quest; many of the quests require you to kill things…which also give exp. These are the best quests to shoot for as they can be done in groups and NPC’s are easily killed when 1-3 people are killing them.

There is of course a flip side to this. On quests where you have to gather items NPCs drop it is NOT wise to work in a group on these as you’ll have to loot double the corpses to get the same amount of items as the drop rate does not increase but stays the same.

For questing it is important to remember this: Killing quests good with groups. Gathering quests best if soloed.

One could take the approach of running around wildly completing quests in a random pattern with no real goal. One could also take a hammer to their skull. I don’t recommend either.

The greatst part of power leveling through questing is that you can often complete several quests at once or in a close proximity to one another, further cutting down the amount of time you need to level your character. Rather than completing one quest, then running back to complete another, why not complete three quests in the same general area and then turn all three in, effectively eliminating 2 extra trips.

Finding these paths is not that hard if you simply read the quests and generally you can find many of the quests in the same location. There is of course a much simpler way of organizing your quests and streamlining your questing route. Zygor Guides, which provides an in-game tool to help chart a course that will yield the best possible return on your time.

In addition to setting a course you can see on your map, Zygor Guides provides crucial help in completing quests. Can’t find that book in that cave? Zygor Guides gives you detailed instructions on where to locate it. Don’t know what direction to walk? Zygor Guides provides you with a taxi cab like arrow to point you in the right direction.

Leveling from 1-10 is typically the easiest thing to do as it requires little grinding and all the quests are centrally located in one specific region. Not until you get to higher levels will you start to experience having to travel for 10 minutes to compete a quest and another 10 to get back to turn it in. This leads to one crucial questions, what quests do I do then.

Ideally you’ll want to quest in an area your level or slightly lower. Slightly lower because you will tend to clear the quest quicker. It does not make much sense to spend 45 minutes on one red(high level) quest and get a slight boost to experience, when you can spend the same 45 minutes completeing 15 quests and get a HUGE increase to your exp.

Rested experience is also a must for anyone looking to power level.

Rested experience is a small bonus you get for NOT PLAYING. When you’re in a capital city or in an inn and you see “zzz” below your character icon this means that you’re recieving Rested Experiences, which is 1.5 times experience. ALWAYS make sure you log out in an inn or a capital city as you can accumulate rested experience when you’re not playing. You can identify your rested experience by looking at the experience bar right below your aciton bar. If it is blue you are getting 1.5 times your normal experience for killing things, if it is purple you’re on normal experience.

With the release of WOTLK looming, leveling your new character to 70, or at least to death knight status is a must, and with these few hints and tips is capable of being accomplished by anyone.

Happy Hunting.

Zygor Guides has been around for a long time. In fact a couple years ago it was one of World of Warcraft’s most popular pdf leveling guides. But then things changed. Thanks to changes allowed in mod development in-game leveling guides were taking over and John Cook creator of Zygor Guides knew that if he wanted to stay up to date with the game he had to change along with it. The result was the Zygor leveling guide was revamped and changed to become a complete in game WoW leveling guide.

When I finally had a chance to review the newly charged Zygor Guides all I could say was wow! John added many features inside the Zygor leveling guide that made this map mod easy to use and fun to level along with.

The first thing I was impressed by was the questing arrow, that hovers right above your character. Not only does this point you in the direction of where to go, but it displays a small tooltip that contains key questing information, like the NPC’s characters name and distance to destination. This is very valuable to have as in a glance a player and see very quickly both where to go and what to do, all while still playing the game.

The guide itself is also 100% legal and great care has been taken to not interfere with any other addons a player may be using. Included is a complete how to install video which is great for those gamers who struggle with installing in game addons.

One of the best things about Zygor Guides in-game leveling guides is that they take into account each class, not just hunters as most other guides do.

Out of all the World of Warcraft leveling guides on the market, Zygor Guides rank right at the top. It also comes packed with extras to enhance your play.

Full In-Game Guide

Most other guides on the market make you tab out to use it to the fullest extent. Others will have you play in windowed mode where you have to sacrifice valuable screen space in order to keep the guide handy. Both of these methods are inefficient.

Zygor Guides in game leveling addon shows you step by step what to do and where to go without having to tab out of the game, or give up screen space. It is simple to use as well.

Unlike other addons, there is only one dot to follow. Other addons show you a dot for every quest location, which leads to confusion and wasted time. It makes it difficult to follow, and you will end up making extra trips back and forth between the wilderness and town simply because they flag the closest dot. Chasing the closest dot is the biggest time sink out of them all, unless its the one dot from Zygor Guides.

Help with installation

Some players are not as technically gifted as others, and need help with the technical aspects of installing the addon. Zygor’s World of Warcraft leveling guide steps to the plate to show you how. It comes included with a step by step video that will take out the guesswork and save you valuable time.

Free Extras

Zygor Guides come with plenty of extras as well.

1. Lifetime Updates – You will not need to buy another copy because Blizzard releases another expansion.
2. Talent Guides – Zygor Guides has a step by step talent guide for every class so you can maximize your experience gain.
3. Nether Drake Guide – Zygor Guides shows you the fastest way to obtaining some of the coolest mounts in the game.
4. Death Knight Guide – Shows you how to play the newest addition to World of Warcraft.
5. Inscription Leveling Guide – Step by step guide that teaches you how to quickly level the newest profession in WoW.

1.) To be honest I could simply say get a guide like Zygor Guides and that’s really all you need to get you off to a flying start to your leveling. Well flying start would be the understatement of the year. But it is fair to say that you really should find a guide that can plot a course through the virtual world of WoW.

2.) Take time to learn and understand your character. There are so many different combinations between race and class, that each and everyone have they’re strengths and weakness’s. There are forum’s galore out there which give great advice .

3.) Talents make sure you understand these. These are critical to making the most of your character. Many people end up guessing which ones they should choose as they become available, because they don’t fully understand how the talents work in conjunction with each other. With Zygor Guides there is a talent tree bonus guide, which covers the very best builds, covering every class in the game. It is a guide like this that you should seek, knowing that the builds come from a solid background of experience and use.

4.) Do everything in your power to stay alive. This may seem obvious but many players, when they get into trouble freeze. Learn the tactics to make a hasty exit when things go wrong. For instance the paladins bubble, or the mages blink are good to keep available just in case. Dying and having to do corpse runs back to your body wastes a lot of time and depending on where you have died it can be awkward to res safely. So even if you know your going to die try and get your character to an area where he can res safely.

5.) If you get your hands on a guide like Zygor Guides make sure sure that it operates 100% inside the World of Warcraft. This means that you don’t have to leave the game (as with many guides) to read and use. The guide should sit nicely within your game screen and provide everything you need to level at a blistering pace.

6.) Also the guide that you may be using should cover every race and class. A guide is not really that much use to you if, to make the most of it, you are restricted to only playing certain classes. Here I am being a little biased towards Zygor Guides because this is unique to them. Unfortunately many people notice that the guide they are using don’t cover the starter zones. However Zygors does.

7.) Make sure you complete the class quests for your character. Class quests are all important, they provide major developments for your character as you progress through the levels. As yet the only guide for WoW to incorporate class quests is Zygor Guides.

8.) If you choose not to go with a guide of some form, then don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are many players online whether they maybe members of your guild or not who will be only to happy to help you out. Make a request in the various chat channel, but never shout or continually spam. If no one answers after a short while, move on and try again later. There’s nothing more annoying than someone spamming the chat channels and it can get you a bad name.

9.) Take regular breaks. To many people play WoW hrs on end without no break. Remember that it’s a game enjoy it, but as with everything take it for what it is. A virtual release from the daily routine. Taking a break every now and then allows you to refocus, stretch your legs and gather your mind.
