WOW Leveling Guide Review
I had problem with this guide. I hate having to alt tab out every step I do to look at this guide. Highest I got was 5.
WOW Leveling Guide Review
I had no problems reading the guide (1-60) while playing in a window and turning off “auto-hide” on my taskbar. I did have other problems however.
Quests items with random drops. In Tanaris, for example, the Laden Dew Gland for “The Thirsty Goblin” quest dropped on the first kill for me. This item here can drop on the first kill or anywhere past your 100th. If I wasn’t strictly following Joana’s guide I would have thought myself lucky, but when I was supposed to move on to the next zone I was many bars of XP behind the level I was supposed to be. It seems that “Joana” assumed I would’ve been rather unlucky on the Thirsty Goblin quest.
This happened many times after. At level 52 I was desperate not to have to grind the last few empty bars, so I went into AV to do the quests in there and still couldn’t make up for the missing XP.
As a prot pally, it was/is a horrible experience to grind as it takes forever to kill a single mob. I can’t AoE grind 5 mobs anytime I feel like, either, because I play on a PvP server and… lets just say I hate rogues.
Who knows though, maybe all of you were “luckier” than I was. As for me; I’m determined to make use of what I paid for.
TL;DR : Too many assumptions (e.g “You should be level XX, by now, If not, grind it”). Long story short — I did lots of grinding.

WOW Double Experience
Oh, and I should mention that I often had double experience stacked up and still struggled to keep up with the guide.
WOW Horde Leveling Guide
Hi Meh,
Thanks for the comment, I tabbed out rather than using windows mode and didn’t have a problem, I have a newish PC, so tabbing in and out of WOW was fast. My son though uses my old PC and he had major problems (PC sometimes crashed from tabbing out of WOW!) so had to use windows mode when using Joana’s guide.
With regards grinding I experienced the exact opposite of what you experienced, by the time I’d got to level 70 I had 2 and 1/2 areas still left to do (Netherstorm and Shadowmoon valley) which I did at level 70 for the gold you get from doing quests.
I was leveling with skinning/leather working as professions and would occasionally farm mats, so maybe that’s why I did so well.
Would be interested to hear others experience using the leveling guide (positive or negative no censorship here :-)).
WOW Horde Leveling Guide
WOW Alliance Leveling Guide
hi just wanted to say that i enjoyed your review, as well as all of your points regarding areas of improvement (I have the alliance version from Brian Kopp) – especially the fact that the creators should try a different class rather than just a hunter (or a warlock for that matter) in any future updates.
This is the most important fact to me because i decided to try this guide with my priest, and a few of the quests on each map are simply not soloable without a pet and class-specific skills or a partner – hence you would have to replace the xp lost from these quests with either more grinding or dungeons. another fact however is that i had already leveled a mage and a rogue to 70 prior to the introduction of his guide, but done also through quests and not one time do i remember grinding – though i did supplement dungeon excursions throughout. this is because i used a few minutes each time beforehand to look up relevant and available quests on sites like wowhead and thottbot. it may not have been as efficient, but i found my total played time from 1-70 to be ~12 days – not too much of a difference to their records of

WOW Leveling Guides
Hi, I have several characters above 60 at this time and have been lvling them for the last 2 years. I am an officer in my guild on Blackhand Realm. I spend a lot of time helping my guildies, and running instances, so Grinding was never an option, but spent a lot of time learning the quests with my guild. As you can imagine, with toons on Horde and Alliance Factions it can be rather difficult to remember all the quests and where they can be found.
So I ordered this guide and have enjoyed using it, Currently I’m working with my girlfriend and teaching her to play WoW. This guide has ben an immense help for those that really would like to play the game, yet really dont know anything about it.
Some Examples: You can get into Stone talon mountains and get to Sunrock Retreat, get the quests in the area and head out and attempt to do them. I let my girlfriend try that solo.. I gave her the WoW World Atlas, and the WoW strategy Guide initially. She was completely lost after 5 minutes. I handed her joana’s and wow it made a difference.
I would say this guide is a good thing, especially for the new players who are cautious about games in general. I know many people who i mention WoW to and they are negative about it, because it is a “Game”. Yet I show it to them, let them try it and show them how to play using the guide and some of them buy their own accounts.
This Guide is a tool, thats all it is, not something that should be ridiculed, and noone should be insulted for using it. I have 18 toons over 6 servers and I use it, not only for myself but to help others. I normally wouldnt write about something like a ebook, or on any WoW forum for that matter, but i was looking around and noticed this review and its comments and felt I would like to speak.
Everyone should enjoy the game, and Grats on 70 those who made it and to those who will attain it soon!

WOW Levelling Guide Value?
Personally, I’ve been considering picking up a copy of this guide, not because I’m having problems leveling to 60 (usually around 6-7 days /played time,) but mainly because I HATE how vast the Outlands are.
Also, if I can level myself to 60 that fast, I’d love to see how it worked out with Joana’s Guide.
I am, though, a bit skeptical on the efficiency of leveling a mage, per se, instead of an easier solo class, like a Hunter, or Warlock.
Also, with the next patch, the experience needed to level from 20-60 is supposed to be slimmed down, and the experience rewards from quests in the 30-60 range is supposed to be increased.
At this time, I personally don’t know if the guide is worth it, and, as stated before, I am still a bit skeptical.
If anyone has any advice or feedback about the guide, please let me know.
Thanks,
Drakaenar (Drake)

WOW Mage Leveling
Your mage point about leveling is valid, but easily solved.
While leveling at the beginning grind a little extra so when you should be level 10 at a particular time your at level 12, this will compensate for the pet you don’t have. Keeping at least one level higher than the recommended level for each area shouldn’t be too difficult, especially if you play the game for fun (instances, odd bit of grinding for mats).
You know as a Mage you also have an advantage, frost/slow thing you do. I’ve seen low level mages (never played one) take on half a dozen mobs with no problems at all, basically kiting them around on slow motion mode :-) So I doubt a Mage would have problems keeping up with the levelling guide.
The guide doesn’t put you in many situations where you need to be an imba player to survive, when it does there’s normally a video to explain how he did it as a hunter and you can always skip those quests. So 95%+ can be used by an average WOW player. I used the guide to level my Troll Priest and they don’t exactly have many advantages until they get shadowform (level 40+).
Received an email from Joanna that he plans to update the guide to take new changes (faster leveling to 60) as soon as he can. His past updates tend to be very fast.
He plans to do a new speed run as well since the current ones will no longer be valid.
BTW I think it’s levels 20-60 that will be faster, but not 100% sure?
