1-70 & 60-70 Horde & Alliance WoW Leveling Guides, Walkthroughs & Quest Guides
If you want to get a toon to 60 or 70 as fast as possible, then these guides will revolutionize your game. The most famous ones are Brian Kopp’s Alliance Leveling Guide and Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide. They are both written by WoW community celebrities. In fact, they are among the few guides that have managed to create a following and a "brand name". But others have followed and the good ones are included below. Also, be SURE to read below on "Questing or grinding: Which is better?"

Joana’s 1-70 Horde Leveling Guide
 - 7/10
The original, and for a long time the most popular, Horde leveling guide.
Written by a guy who has set the fastest 1-60 time solo on a new server, this guide is VERY fast but lacks some detail which would’ve made it even better.

Penn’s 1-70 Alliance Leveling Guide
- 6/10
Penn is the name of a draenei hunter played by the author of this guide. He was first to level 70 as a draenei hunter on a new server, which is pretty impressive. However, I don’t know if he was first to level 70 or merely the first draenei hunter to achieve max level… In any case, it shows he knows what he’s talking about.

Questing or grinding: Which is better?
Basically, you can either quest or grind to 60 or 70. Grinding will bore you to tears from seeing the same scenery and mobs over and 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:

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 60 or 70 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 99% 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.
In The Burning Crusade questing will be even more important for XP because grinding without having a quest to kill the mobs will be much less rewarding. The guides on this page are updated for TBC.
