Paid levelling guides. Whats your opinion?

[mlwhitt]

I used Joanna's for my Mage and Pally. For my newer Alliance toons I am using Brian Kopps. He has a nice built in mod now that is sweet. I also have Team iDemise but never use it.

I've used Brian Kopp's and Joana's. I liked Kopp's better and used it almost immediately when TBC came out (he was down for a few days due to server load, I think). I found it to be excellent and I leveled quite quickly for being a semi-casual player.

The only drawback I find is you can get a significant amount of tunnel vision when you focus on leveling fast with a guide. Not that big of a deal if you're in a rush to start hitting the endgame instances and raiding. But I do think it hurts the gaming experience to rush through zones without really noticing what color the sky is.

If it's your first 1-2 max level toons I'd probably agree but when you are on 10+ level 70's you couldn't care less what color anything is as you have seen it all before and are just trying to get to endgame at that point.

Seeing this thread pop again, figured i would give a headsup on the path i took.

I didn't find a addon i wanted (that showed quests when 70 and all)

I ended up questing to 68 sofar. just finished nagrand. I been making a killer from other stuff in terms of gold. So thats not a issue and with dailys on top of that, i recon i should be set in a bit

I also use TourGuide (with TomTom).

Been using it since I started this team. You can easily skip quests that are a PITA and I have outleveled it a couple times because I decide to go off on tangent quests that aren't in the guide but I can easily do as a group.

I used Jame's guide from wow-pro once. It's free and awesome. After that experience, I pretty much just go where I remember to go and just wander around. Quest helper is a godsend for collection quests and such while boxing though.

I use both QuestHelper and Joana's Guide together. ( Joanas for running paths, which quests to pick up when and where... and QH for the tooltip display feature it has )

[hellsown]

idk...but i use the zygor guides... zygorguides.com...incredibly fast lvling...for solo..i turn it off for mb'ing and use quest helper i know most of where i am going now around azeroth...lol

I've tried to follow jame's at wow-pro.com, but its so janky compared to Joana's.

If you don't want to dick around with anything and you just want to get your character to level 70, Joana's guide will get you there. If you wanna do low lvl instances, quest randomly, explore then have fun, but there is no way I'm gonna play another character up to 70 w/out using a guide.

Plus, I've wasted more money playing poker, mtg, movies, shitty dates, etc to justify $30 to get my char to max level sooner than later. Just buy bud light instead of guiness for a month 8P

Joana's guide also tells you what zone to visit and when. Quest helper isn't gonna tell you to run to Stonetalon and do the first couple quests at lvl 15 because you have to get those quests for the addon to help you...

Not needed at all. End of discussion!
