I have been playing World of Warcraft for awhile now but I can’t seem to get my character ahead of everyone else. I can’t seem to level really fast and my gold making skills are nonexistent. So my questions is what are some World of Warcraft guides that can teach me how to level faster and make more gold?
Man, oh man, I can really understand your frustrations with World of Warcraft at this point. Another thing we all know is that there are tons and tons of CRAPPY guides out there made by people who just want your money and give nothing back in return. I know I have spent tons of time and money on guides that just don’t cut it!
The good news is, as of right now, there are just 4 guides that I recommend any World of Warcraft player must have. 2 of them are WoW gold guides and the other 2 are actually powerleveling guides.
Gold Guides
The first gold guide that I recommend is actually the one that I followed specifically in order to get enough gold to learn my epic flying mount training. Derek’s Gold Mastery Guide was fantastic and easy to understand all the way through and even if you didn’t understand something in it the author, himself, will actually help you out. This guide has tons of potential and the easy to use strategies help out a lot. It only took me a week of following this guide to make a little over 5000g. The guide is called Derek’s Gold Mastery Guide. It is HIGHLY recommended!
The other gold guide has helped me out a lot is called WoW Cash Creating Guide. This guide covers tons of gold making tips which have helped me makes hundreds of gold in the game. Great guide but if you don’t have the extra money available I would go with Derek’s guide first.
Powerleveling Guides
I can bet everyone reading this will probably know which 2 guides I highly recommend when it comes to learning how to powerlevel your characters to level 70. Brian Kopp’s Alliance Powerleveling Guide and of course, Joana’s Horde Powerleveling Guide.
Playing Horde mostly I have received the most benefit from using Joana’s guide and it works best with leveling up a Hunter although you can use it with any class, it just seems to work best with a hunter. It is completely step-by-step and you can’t mess it up. It seems the only thing Joana’s guide doesn’t tell you is when to get up and go to the bathroom. It is THAT detailed.
I have used Brian Kopp’s guide a couple of times and it does for the Alliance what Joana’s guide does for the Horde. It really is a great guide as well and I have plans in the future to better utilize Brian’s guide to get a full review for you. It does come with an addon that shows every quest NPC you will need to talk to on your map and it really does help out a whole lot and is something that I wish Joana’s guide would add as well.
Anyway, those are my top World of Warcraft guides and if you decide to use them I know they will help you out greatly in your game playing. Also you can always see an updated list of WoW guides that I recommend under the “Apadwe’s Resources” on every page underneath the “Ask A Question” button.
No leveling/gold guide is actually worth it in my opinion, personal knowledge is the best way to go. You should try exploring a bit, off the beaten track so to say, I’ve found grinding spots that are rarely visited, little tid-bits that have helped me in the long run, you should keep your necessary proffessions up to par (gathering/crafting) to assist you in leveling, there’s nothing worse than having gear thats 20(or more!!) levels behind you…..
