WoW Leveling Guides – How Do They Work?

A lot of people ask me the question, does a leveling guide really work? My answer is, of course they do! But then I sat down and started to wonder why everyone questioned it in the first place. What seem liked common sense to me was plaguing all of these people. After thinking on it a long while, I realized that most people didn’t really understand how the leveling guides worked. I am confident that once you see what they offer, you will know that there is no question as to whether or not they really work!

In Game Add-ons

A majority of the players I talk to don’t realize that the WoW Leveling Guides I recommend are full blown in game add-ons. They have been led to believe that they are PDF’s or simply map icons, but that is simply not true. Most of the guides currently on the market offer a huge feature set and are completely fleshed out programs that run within the game.

Are they Legal?

Every WoW Leveling Guide currently available is 100% legal. None will get you banned by Blizzard and one of the top leveling guides alone has sold over 50,000 copies without a single complaint from anyone. In fact, because it increases a lot of players enjoyment of the game and allows players to reach end game raiding faster, Blizzard more than likely loves leveling guides.

What do they do?

This is probably the most important question to answer. Once you understand what a leveling guide can do for you, your going to feel a lot more comfortable buying one. The first and most important part is that they give you a step by step path to take from level 1 to level 80. This is important because it will keep you from ever getting lost while leveling. I know that a lot of time was wasted on my various tunes because I didn’t exactly know where to go for my next few levels. This problem will be completely alleviated as the guides will tell you exactly what to do, every step of the way.

They do this using an in game interface. I will use Zygor’s Leveling Guide as an example since I think it is the best. Basically once you install the add-on, it places a small box on your screen. This box will list the next step you need to do in order to level. It starts by taking you to an area with quest npc’s, tells you who to talk to, and which quests to accept. Then, the leveling guide will move on to the next step and direct you where to go in order to complete the quests you just accepted. Once you reach the area to do the actual quest, it will explain what needs to be accomplished and track your progress. Then, after you complete the quest it will direct you back to turn in all of the completed quests and then move you on to the next location.

Now you might be saying to yourself, what if I can’t find the location for the quest or the NPC. That is also taken care of by the various leveling guides. Each will place a small arrow on your screen that will show you which direction to go in order to reach your next step. Most even tell you how far in yards you need to run.

In Conclusion

WoW Leveling Guides have a lot to offer the new or even veteran players (they make leveling alts a breeze). I hope I have cleared up some of the misconceptions about leveling guides and given you a better understanding of exactly what they can do for you. Hopefully now that you understand how they function, you can see that not only do they work, but they actually make the game a lot more fun.
