Unlike your other World of Warcraft blogs. Quality over quantity, and a terrific community.
I just logged into Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide to see what his time to level 33 was and found a new link! He originally had an overview reference for Outlands, but it wasn’t his optimized path or anything uber-fast yet.
Now he has put it all in order and it’s built for speed. Get all of your 60s collecting dust to level 70 now. This update, and all new additions he will make are included in your original purchase. It was like a stocking stuffer in May. 🙂
Huntr spent about 2 hours in Desolace in the water last night checking traps, killing crabs, killing naga, and coming up for air. This would be so much easier as Forsaken. I managed to kill a 37 last night and a 38 this morning to complete two quests.
Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide has been a HUGE help in Desolace. It led me to every quest-giver, turn-in, and mob area for each quest flawlessly. It doesn’t get any more helpful than having your path drawn on a map, coordinates for the givers/turn-ins/areas, and outlines for where the mobs are located for collection/kill quests. If you need to, you have 3 helper options: you can click the quest name, and it sends you to one of the Big 3 database sites for that quest, you can watch his video of killing a specific boss/mob for a quest, or you can skip to that part of his video for that segment of playing (he recorded all 60 levels, sped 6-10x for the boring stuff).
My /played time is updated in my Journey to 70 page, but here it is anyway: 1d 19h 29m.
I’m a couple of steps away from hearthing back to Shadowprey Village to do a massive turn-in of 8 more completed quests. I am 2 clam meats away from being done with a quest that I forgot to wrap up before I came out of the water. They are way up the coast from the SV, so I think I’ll hearth back after playing Paladr after I gather the last of the meat.
I logged into Bankr to buy Huntr some new gear because it’s going to be a long time before he goes back to Orgrimmar or TB on a mission, and he’s carrying around some pretty dated gear. The profiles are all updated now, too.
I dinged in Shimmering Flats this morning EXACTLY where the guide said I “should be 32 now.” I got to skip the “if not, grind to 32.” That made me smile.
/played time 1d 16h 22m.
I know it’s a bit off of [tag]Joana’s Horde Guide[/tag]’s pace, but this is still pretty stinking fun to be this high after less than a month of RL time AND starting a new toon and getting him to level 24 within that time.
I hope you all noticed another person’s review of their experience with the guide Saturday, when Komiel left me the following comment:
Jame’s guide start off from 21+ but the only thing that isn’t really tempting me to use it is because of the zone he uses to level. If you’re on a PvP server and is looking toward powerleveling your toon you will probably suffer a lot of your time using James guide to level at Hillsbrad. In the other hand Joana’s guide uses Stonetalon as the zone for leveling 21+ which is much better compared to Hillsbrad. Stonetalon is also contested but I haven’t seen much heavy PvP or high levels running around ganking lowbies. I am sure there will be some same level PvP going on, but it’ll definately speed up your leveling a lot faster compared to James. I’ve also notice James guide also ask you do some rediculous quests that are completed underwater, which is painful for many others that are not Undeads or playing as Warlock.
Anyway, I just felt like sharing my thoughts toward these guides. I personally prefer to use Joana’s and it’s definately worth getting.
What more do you need to finally level like you should? You don’t have to skip out on instances or other quests, but doing things in this order this Joana’s organization really will get you leveled faster, and you can choose how fast by how much other stuff you do.
