1-80, 60-70 & 70-80 Horde & Alliance WoW Leveling Guides, Walkthroughs & Quest Guides
Note: I have reviewed more leveling guides than those seen here. I have only included the best ones on this page; if you want to read the others check out this page here. By the way, be SURE to read below on "Questing or grinding: Which is better?"
Questing or grinding: Which is better?
Basically, you can either quest or grind to 80. Grinding will bore you to tears from seeing the same scenery and mobs over and over and over again… Believe me, I’ve grinded non-stop (no instances, no battlegrounds, no quests etc.) from lvl 25 to 60 in the past and the monotony makes your mind go numb. I still can’t believe I did it, and I’ll never do it again.
That’s why many people choose to do instances, groups, some battlegrounds and such, but that, on the other hand, is soooo slow.
The other way is to quest. And, let me tell you, it can be just as frustrating as grinding because you don’t know which quests are worthwhile, where to go, whether or not you need a group for that elite quest or not, or you just end up traveling all across Azeroth and Outlands for delivery quests and it wastes your time a lot.
That’s why I chose to grind in the past, and dismissed the claims that questing would be faster. Yet I somehow thought questing could be faster, if you knew exactly what to do and didn’t have to look everything up all the time.
Then I found Brian Kopp’s and Joana’s guides and they confirmed my suspicions. Questing is A LOT faster than grinding could ever be, if you know the secrets. It’s also much more rewarding:
|

Get fewer flight points |
| Gives you skills |

| Gets faster every time you do it |
Leveling speed is limited |
| Rewards items and gold |
Good items may or may not drop |
Now that you know questing is the way to play WoW, check out the leveling guides on this page and why I think they are so good. Though they do not address every aspect of WoW, wouldn’t it be nice to power level a toon to 80 so fast that your friends will think you’ve bought a power leveling service?
Get this straight: The low leveling times you can get with these guides are not achievable by 98% of WoW players, so it will be something that sets you apart from everyone else.
And since these guides are mainly based on questing, you can level slow-grinding classes as fast as any other.
