LoadsOFire's FREE Horde Leveling Guide

To this day, one of the hardest things to do in the World of Warcraft is leveling your first character. Over the past few years many guides have been made to help people level. Sadly, when I leveled my first character to 60, these guides didn't exist. You would find the odd "1-60 leveling guide, $4.99", the majority of these were scams. Listing useless information.

Many of the guides being released now are great except for one thing, they simply have too much information. You spend more time reading the guide, than you do leveling. Explaining exactly what quest to do, what level to do it, and where you need to go for it. They also take into consideration that you are willing to travel around the world to finish a single quest, when in my opinion it would be more worthwhile to grind, or simply do other nearby quests. Although making a long guide isn't a bad thing, adding in useless information is, going in depth with something basic and straightforward, is a waste of your own time, and the readers time. I will guarantee this guide will be fairly lengthy, but certain sections will not be meant for everyone to read. I will arrange this guide to be as organized as possible, so that you can easily find the sections you desire to read. I will do my best to leave out any unnecessary information.

For those of you wondering "Well, why should we listen to you?". Simple, I'm offering everything these people offer in their guides which cost $4.99, condensing it, and hopefully making it understandable and helpful even to the most brain dead of players. I am currently working on my 5th 70, and I am aiming for all 9 classes by the end of this expansion. My fastest record 1-60 was just over 4 days played, 1-70 in approximately 7 days played (I don't have an exact number since I normally PvP at 69, in the 60-69 bracket to get gear without worrying about having resilience).

[A1] Important Addons:

Over the past year countless addons have been released which make leveling extremely easy. I am a player who likes to have a clean, basic UI. If you enjoy downloading, and modifying addons, feel FREE to download more. It is important that you keep these up to date, since many of them are updated every tuesday, and some addons, every few hours (Sigh... When will omen stop updating itself every hour?).

Each addon listed is from Curse.com, the most trusted WoW addon site around. Please, if for any reason you suspect a file could be infected with a virus, scan it.

For those of you, on the nervous side, use this to scan:

Quest Helper
http://media.curse.com/dl2/47/53/74.zip/QuestHelper-0.47.19-abc40e6.zip

Quest Helper is the best leveling addon you will most likely ever see. It shows you the location of each quest in you quest log. It displays which quests are closest to you, where you go for them, where you turn them in. This addon will make questing a breeze, and I highly recommend using it.

Carbonite
http://media.curse.com/dl2/47/53/260.zip/CarboniteQuest1.240.zip

Carbonite is very similar to Quest Helper, but the advantage of using it, is that it adds an extra minimap onto your screen which you can position any way you would like. It shows quest locations on the minimap, as well as a window on your UI displaying quest progression in order of the quests nearest you. Even though this addon is very similar to quest helper, I would recommend using both while leveling.

Those are the two addons I would recommend you use to improve leveling. There are of course many more addons, but for the sake of keeping on track, the are the two you should use for this guide.

[A2] Choosing Your Race

I hope by now you have chosen if you want to play on the horde side, and you have a brief understanding of the races in WoW. I think it extremely important for players to choose a race they enjoy playing. I feel its more important to play a race you enjoy, than a race which is better for your class.

Each race has unique racials. Racials are abilities only offered to that race, for example, tauren have War Stomp, 5% extra life, and +15 to herbalism.

Racials

[A3]Choosing Your Class

I am going to leave this section empty, for one reason - The class you choose should be based off of a play style you enjoy. I think its clear which play styles certain classes have, and its up to you to figure out which to choose. Find a class you think is interesting, and level it.

I will keep this section empty for the sake of not posting any biased information, such as which classes I think are best.

[B0] Introduction to Leveling

I'll restate my intentions for this guide. I'm posting this to hopefully help new players to WoW find areas to level, I'm trying to inform you which areas are good questing zones, and which are useless. I will not go into depth which each zone, simply because I want to make it readable. I would prefer you are ingame leveling, not sitting here reading this guide all day, so I will keep it as brief as I can, without leaving out important information.

Let me state now, that some people are faster than others at leveling. Some can sit down and get much more done in a shorter period of time. If you are slower than most when it comes to leveling, don't get downhearted, don't quit because its taking to long to get to 70, only quit if you are not finding the game enjoyable.

Setting small goals will help you achieve your final goal, hitting 70. Instead of logging on every day thinking "Lets get closer to level 70!", think "Lets get from 30-32 tonight!", setting smaller goals will keep you focused. 1-70 doesn't take as long as most GAMES to level, but if you are impatient, you will never reach it.

I will give areas in which you are supposed to level in. because it would take an extremely long time to show you all where the areas are on the world map, I'm going to leave it up to you to find it yourself. You can use your ingame map, or the blizzard flash map, which is pretty handy.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/flashmap/

The most important tip in this guide... Have fun while leveling! Run instances a long the way, join a guild, make friends.


[B1] Level 1-10

1-10 can actually be very difficult despite what many people may believe. These levels wont take a lot of time, but they can be very boring. The quests aren't amazingly fun, and you don't get any cool abilities until you hit level 10. Remember that every even level, you get new abilities you can train at your class trainers (Level 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ect).

Finish each and every quest in your starting zone, if you are Orc, or Troll, Durotar. If you're Blood Elf, Eversong Woods. For Tauren, Mulgore. And finally Undead, Tirisfal Glades.

The reason you want to complete each quest is because they offer a good amount of experience, as well as reputation. By the time you have completed every quest you your starting zones you should have reached honored with your reputation faction.

An important thing is that at level 10, each class is given a cool new ability they can train, or a quest that leads to a skill reward. It is normally an ability very important for your class, such as, the ability to tame beasts for hunters, ability to use a fire totem for shamans, ect. Although the quests sometimes take a long time, they are without a doubt worth doing.

A small tip, in many starting zones players will offer 1g, or something for you to sign their guild charters. For someone to form a guild, they must first get 10 signatures agreed to also form the guild with them. Many times, the Guild Master will get all 10 signatures, form the guild, than kick all the lower levels that signed. They're not being jerks, they simply needed signatures. If you want to sign to get some FREE money, you are FREE to leave the guild whenever you wish by typing /gquit. I would recommend signing them if they are offering a fair amount of money. The earlier you start saving gold, the better.

[B2] Level 11-20



I think its fair to say that levels 11-20 are possibly the slowest levels. After patch 2.3 Blizzard reduced the amount of EXP needed to level from 20-60, and EXP gained from quests from level 30-60. Since 11-20 wasn't affected by this buff, these levels are now very slow. Certain classes have a harder time during these levels, for example, 11-20 is very slow as a druid, because you are forced to level in bear form instead of cat form (which you get at 20). Try to stay focused, and just get these levels out of the way.

The up side to these levels is that you will begin to get uncommon quality armor and weapons, which now give stats, which as +2 stamina, or +4 attack power, ect. These stats will help you level quit a bit, a good rule of thumb to follow is this - Melee should collect strength, agility, attack power, and stamina. Certain classes need more of one stat than another, and because of that I wont go into detail, since it would take too long to explain. If you are a melee class, those are generally the stats you should be looking for though. Casters should look for int, spell damage (There isn't much spell damage on gear until outlands), stamina, and spirit.

Areas:
The Barrens (Level 11/12 - 21/22)
Ghostlands (10-18)
Silverpine Forest (10-18)
Stonetalon Mountains (18-22)

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/flashmap/


During these levels you're going to be venturing off to new zones, you have a few options at this point, depending on your race. Most players choose to stay in their starting zones until approximately level 12, than head to The barrens. I would recommend Undead finishing at least a few of the easy quests in Silverpine forest so that you get extra reputation with the Undercity, as well as Blood Elves staying in Ghostlands. Ghostlands has a lot of quests, but Silverpine has a limited amount of quests, with weak rewards.

Every player should finish the majority of the quests int he Barrens, they offer good experience, rewards, reputation, and are all around easy quests.

An important thing to note, is that there are instances in this game. Instances are zones made for groups of 5 people. I group consists of 1 healer, 3 damage dealers, and 1 tank. The point of instances is to get a group of 5 people together, to work together to complete the zone. Unlike many other zones, they're note wide open. To enter an instance you have to enter a portal, which will take you to the instance. The importance of this, is that players wont be able to interfere with your group, no one other than the 4 other people with you can enter the same portal as you. Each instance includes bosses which drop Uncommon, rare, or epic gear. This gear is normally better than most gear monsters will drop, or quests will give you (Not always true). There are two instances without level 11-20, Ragefire Chasm, which I would recommend being level 12 for, is located inside Orgrimmar (The orc main town). The second in Wailing Caverns, for level 17-21, located in The Barrens.

An instance portal:


At level 18 you can choose to stay in the Barrens, and finish the southern quests, or head to Stonetalon Mountains. The downside to going to Stonetalon is that the area is horribly designed, its basically a straight line. Doing each quest requires a lot of running back and forth. Despite the fact that you are forced to waste a lot of time running around, it does give good quest rewards, and experience. It will be your first taste of a contested area. A contested area is an area which Horde, and Alliance are both flagged for PvP, which means alliance can attack you, and you can also attack the alliance. An easy way of telling a contested area apart from a friendly area is looking at the color of the area name ontop of your minimap. If the name is green, its friendly, meaning alliance can only attack you, if you attack then. A yellow name means its contested, and anyone can attack the opposite faction.

Remember to do your class quests at 20, some give unique abilities, others give good item rewards.

[B3] Level 21-30


These levels are when leveling starts to become a little more entertaining. By now you should have gotten rid of all your grey / white items and replaced them with green / blue items. You're going to get a few new abilities, which make leveling a lot more enjoyable, and easy. The only downside to these levels are you have to go to contested areas where a lot of PvP goes on. These are most likely the worst levels when it comes to getting ganked. Level 30s, 40s, 50, 60s, and even 70s come to these zones to camp lower level people. Don't worry though, the majority of them are absolute idiots, and are only there because they can't beat another level 70 in a fight. So they go after people weaker than them. At least you can laugh at their pathetic attempts to be badasses, while they gank you? By now, you should be getting the hang of your basic abilities, and the play style of your class.

Areas
The Barrens (10-22)
Hillsbrad Foothills (20-30)
Stonetalon Mountains (18-24)
Ashenvale Forest (20-30)
Thousand Needles (28-34)


To start these levels, I would recommend finishing The Barrens as well as Stonetalon mountain. Even though I'm sure you're dying to leave these areas, its best you stay until you're finished. Theres nothing worse than going to a new area to early. Finishing these quests should bring you close to 22, possibly 23.

From 22 head to Ashenvale. Stop off at Splintertree post, and grab some quests, as well as the flight path. Now, we have some walking to do. Head to the north west corner of Ashenvale, there you'll find a beach called The Zoram Strand. Theres a town south of the beast called Zoram'gar Outpost. Travel there, and pick of the quests. There are about 5 easy quests to do in that area, which should get you close to a level. Kill the Nagas, and if you can, find a group for Black Fathom Depths, a instance north of the Zoram Strand for levels 22-26, exp is good, gear is good, and there area a lot of quests for the instance.



When you're done with those quests, you'll want to head back to Splintertree post, and finish some of the quests there, some may be too high of a level for you, so just skip them for now. Ashenvale should bring you to about 24-25 before the quests start to get too high of a level. When they begin to start getting harder, head to Hilsbrad. To get their you'll need to head to Orgrimmar, and use the Zeppelin to go to Undercity, once there, you have a lot more running to do. Run through Silverpine forest, picking up the flightpath there, than head to Tarren Mill. Hisbrad is a cutthroat area. PvP is life there. It will be your real taste of WoW PvP. Like I said though, get ready for higher levels to kill you, they patrol that area day and night. There is an amazing quest chain related to the Hisbrad fields, the great thing about this quest is that only horde have the quests, so you don't have to worry about alliance fighting over the same mobs are you. All the NPCs are friendly for the alliance, which means there shouldn't be as much PvP there.

Hilsbrad should last you until about 28, you may have to do some grinding, which is killing mobs over and over for EXP, instead of questing. Sadly, even after Blizzard made leveling easier, there aren't enough quests in certain areas. When you get to about 28, and have finished the majority of the quests, head back to Ashenvale, and finish those quests. Which should bring you to at least 30. If not, head to Thousand needles and finish a few of the quests there, run instances or grind. A great instance from level 24-28 is Shadowfang keep located in Silverpine forest, its worth doing at least once.

Remember to talk to your class trainer at 30 for any quests / new abilities.


[B4] Level 31-40


Heres where things really start to get good. Quests now give great rewards, and much more experience, thanks to patch 2.3. An important note to take is that if you haven't already started saving for your mount which you get at level 40 start now. One of the main reasons I stressed for you to finish the starting zone quests to get reputation is because the higher your reputation is with a faction, the cheaper they will sell you goods for. Instead of a mount costing 100g, it would cost 90g while honored. Each rank gives you a 10% discount. If you are unable to get the gold for a mount by level 40, don't worry, you'll get it soon. Its important that you collect everything mobs drop, including gray armor, which can be vendored, or cloth which can be sold on the auction house.

Areas:

Arathi Highlands (30-40)
Desolace (30-40)
Thousand Needles (28-34)
Stranglethorn Vale (30-45)
Dustwallow Marsh (38-42)
Swamp of Sorrows (35-45)
Badlands (35-42)


We're going to start these levels off by going to Thousand Needles, if you decided to go earlier, thats fine as well. A lot of these quests are fairly straight forward, Quest Helper will tell you exactly what to do. Start off by going to FREEwind Post, grabbing the quests, and the Flightpoint, than heading a bit north, and you will find another small camp. There should be about 3 quests at this camp which are worth picking up and doing, one involves you killing a elite cat. Certain classes that can kite (basically run away from the mob attacking with ranged, so that it can't get to you, but you can keep attacking it) will be able to solo it, while classes like warriors will have to find another player to help you with it. An important thing to know with thousand needles is that if you look up you see extremely high cliffs, similar to the Grand Canyon, there are ways to go ontop of some of them, which there are quests. FREEwind Post, the main town, is also located on one of them.

When you're finished with Thousand needles start heading over to Arathi Highlands, Arathi Highlands are very similar to Hilsbrad, but with less PvP. Its one of my favorite zones to level in. You're going to have to take the Zepplin from Orgrimmar to The Undercity again, than take the flight path to Tarren Mill and walk to Hammerfall. Hammerfall is the only horde town, so pick up the flight path, quests, and than start questing.

When you run out of quests we're going to head over to Stranglethorn Vale. Stranglethorn vale is a very unique area, its a jungle in the southern most part of Azeroth. To get their you need to take the Zepplin from Undercity, or Orgrimmar to Grom'gol, the horde town. Once there, pick up the quests, and flightpath, than head south to grab the quests from Booty Bay, and the flight path. Watch out along the way, STV has a wide level range, the further south you move, the higher level the mobs will be. When you get the quests, and flightpath in BB, fly back to Grom'gol, and go north. You'll find a camp along a river called Nessingwary Expedition, you'll meet up with them later on in Nagrand in Outlands. You'll get a few quests regarding Green Pages of STV, I never bother doing this quest, the experience is lousy, and I hate filling my bags with those pages. Than again, if you tend to have clean bags, its worth picking up, you don't have to do anything for the quests, all mobs in northern STV drop the pages. Grab the beast mastery quests, and start with those, than start the troll quests near the river. STV is a fun area, but sometimes has a lot of level 70s patrolling the area, killing anyone they see.

Stranglethorn should last you a very long time (The quests keep going until about level 42, I tend to leave at around 35-38 and do a few quests in Desolace. Lately I've ignored that area because its a hassle to get to, and now that dustwallow marsh has better quests, its not worth going to, unless you run out of quests in STV early.

When you decide to leave STV, head over to dustwallow marsh, Blizzard recently buffed these quests, and added in a new area, mudsprocket. The majority of these quests are easy, give good rewards, and experience. To get their fly to The barrens and walk. Once you first enter, you'll see a burnt down inn, called the Shady Rest Inn, with few items lying around. If you click the items they give you quests. When you grab them head to Brackenwall Village grab the flight path, and the quests, than start walking south to mudsprocket. Once there, do the usual, pick up the quests, and flightpath. I'd recommend flying back to Brackenwall and finishing the lower level quests around that area, so thay you don't wait to long and get less experience from the mobs. These quests should get you from to 41-42.

Since there are still the badlands quests to finish, as well as swamp of sorrows, you can gead there if you ran out of quests early. I would recommend going to the Badlands first, its a great area.

There are a group of 4 instances combined into 1 zone called The Scarlet Monastery. These may be some of the best instances in the game. The first one is for level 30s, the graveyard. At level 32, the Library, and 35 the armory, and at 38 the cathedral. They have great gear, especially mail. If you enjoy doing instances, run these, if you don't, you can skip them.

If you have you money for a mount, go buy it at 40!



[B5] Level 41-50


I found these levels very tough to get started with on my first character. I bought my mount at 40, and spent days running around on my new mount. Having a mount is a lot of fun, and makes leveling a lot easier. Not only can you get from place to place faster, but they also help you avoid getting kill by nearby players, they can't kill you if they can't catch you. These are some entertaining levels, if you slack off, they can become boring, because progression will seem slow, but if you focus, and don't get stuck at a certain level, you'll have a blast. These are the levels wear your class starts to become a real class. You have the majority of your talents, and at 50, you will have your 41 talent (unless you spec'd into other things). These are the levels where you should focus on learning your class mechanics. You've figured out the basics, now its time to put it all together, and make it work.

Areas
Feralas (40-48)
Tanaris Desert (40-48)
The Hinterlands (47-50)
Searing Gorge (48-50)
Azshara (46-54)
The Blasted Lands (45-52)
Felwood (48-54)


To start off these levels you should finish up the areas you haven't finished yet, whether thats STV, Badlands, ect. Don't stress over finishing each and every one of them, just the majority. Don't waste time doing quests which are too hard.

When you're finished with those, start off by going to Tanaris. I personally don't like this area very much, so I like to get the quests out of the way as soon as possible. Get the first few quests out of the way. You can find the majority of the quests in Gagetzan, and the rest east of their, in a small beach town. Don't worry about finishing the orange / red quests, we'll be coming back. Head to FREEwind post and than walk to Feralas. Feralas has one horde town, and a lot of good quests. Start off by doing the Gnoll quests, than the sprites, than the ogres. Each quest here has nice chains. With your new mount things should be a lot faster as well. If these quests start to get too hard, head back to Tenaris and finish the quests that were once orange / red, when you finish those, come back.

If you have trouble reaching level 47 from these 2 areas do some grinding, or go to Zul'farrak, in Tanaris, a instance for people 46-50. When you do reach 47-48 head to the Hinterlands. The horde town is hard to find, and my first time leveling a horde I actually completely missed the town and skipped this area. This is by far my favorite area though. The quests are unbelievable, they're fun, and extremely easy. Blizzard spent a lot of time on this area, don't skip it. You should be close to hitting 50, or 50 when you finish the quests here. There used to be a 5 man group quest area, which was nerfed in 2.3, you can now solo the area. There are about 6 quests for this small area, and they give amazing experience, do them, or you'll regret it later on.

When you finish with the Hinterlands, its time to move onto Searing Gorge. This is also one of my favorite areas, its a very small area, with a lot of quests, not many people level here because they simply don't know how to get here. Its actually very simple. Fly to the Badlands, and walk along the west path out of Kargath, and you will see a small path, which leads to searing gorge. Theres a small town in along the southern edge, it can sometimes be hard to find. This is a confusing area to be in for the first time. It may be small, but it has two levels, one is above ground, than belong the ground is infested with caves, filled with dark iron dwarves and dinosaurs. These quests should bring you to 50. If you run out of quests early, go to the Blasted Lands. The Blasted Lands have very weird quests. The quests there are all related to the animals in the area. They each drop items, and those items you need for about 5 quests, so theres a lot of killing to do. Its hard to explain without seeing it for yourself. Don't too far away from the base, or you may run into level 60 elites that will one shot you.



[B6] Level 51-60


I don't really like these levels. I find each time I level a character, I get stuck in these zones without quests left. Luckily there are some great spots to grind, which also have great loot tables. By now you should understand how most of the areas work, so I will be brief with the explanation for the next 10 levels.

Areas:
Felwood (48-55)
Un'Goro Crater (48-55)
Burning Steppes (50-55)
W. Plaguelands (51-58)

E. Plaguelands (53-60)
Winterspring (53-60)
Silithus (55-60)


To start things of well do what we did in past levels, finish off any left over quests. Its always a smart idea to finish the quests in a zone before you leave, or you'll find yourself running out of quests too often. When you finish those quests, head to felwood, thankfully Blizzard added a flight point the the Emerald Sanctuary, so it wont be that bad leveling there now. Right, you'll want to fly to spintertree post, and walk to felwood. Right as you enter, there will be a small village, with a few quests to kill furblogs, and surrounding critters, do them, than head north. Theres a hidden town which most people miss. It doesn't have many quests, but there are a few, Bloodvenom post. Its near the middle of Felwood, along the west edge. There is no path leading to it, just a small green, stream.

When done with Felwood, start walking to Un'goro crater. To get to un'goro crater, you'll have to fly to Tanaris, than walk. Un'goro is a unique area, you'll be shocked the first time you go there. Its like going back in time, about 62 million years back. The area is infested with dinosaurs, you'll feel like you're in Jurassic Park. Again, the town is hard to find in this area. The town is called Marshal's Refuge, its on the edge of the area in the middle south edge. Some of the quests here take a long time complete, and are very annoying. The area needs to be redone, but its uniqueness makes up for the slacking quests.

When you're complete with this area we're going to go to Western Plaguelands. This is an odd area, the majority of the quests come from the enterance of WPL, along the border of Tirisfal Glades. Pick up the quests, with the exception of any quests for Scholomance, or Stratholme (If you want to do them later, you're welcome to, but they're level 60 instances). When you go to the farms for one of the quest chains, you'll find some quests, they're easy, and give decent rewards, so do them. There isn't much to say about WPL.

When you're done with WPL you're going to want to go to Burning Steppes, the town here is in the middle, southern edge, over a small bridge. This area is similar to the Searing Gorge, except for it doesn't have as many tunnels.

After the Burning Steppes were off to Winterspring. I like this area quite a bit, but it lacks good quests in my opinion. Fly to felwood, and than walk to northern felwood and go through the furblog cave. If the furblogs attack you, just keep running. If you gain rep with them, they wont attack you. There are the quest zones in Winterspring, one being Everlook, the main town, as well as a small camp near the enterance, south of the path you will be walking on.

Now, off to Eastern Plauelands. This area is similar to WPL, the quests are spread out. The town here is Lights Hope Chapel, but the majority of the quests come from scattered areas around EPL. There are a lot of quests here, the only hard part about the area is that its targeted for 55-58s, and finding the quests can be hard.

You have 2 options after EPL, if you're level 58, and want to go to outlands you can. The quest rewards in Hellfire Peninsula are better than Silithus quests. There are also enough quests in outlands, so you'll never run out early.



Felwood (48-55)
Un'Goro Crater (48-55)
Burning Steppes (50-58)
W. Plaguelands (51-58)


[B7] Level 61-70


Since you should never run out of quests in Outlands because there are so many, I'm going to say my goodbyes now. 61-70 should be cake, they are very fun levels, but there is nothing to 'guide' someone with. The areas are straight forward, and not very easy.

Hellfire Peninsula (58-63)
Zangarmarsh (60-64)
Terokkar Forest (62-65)
Nagrand (64-67)
Blade's Edge Mountains (65-68)
Netherstorm (67-70)
Shadowmoon Valley (67-70)

Remember to save for your flying mount which you get at 70!

Nice guide, but not really one you can follow level by level. But Questhelper is more than enough to do that so yeah.

9/10.

There's a very good addon for questing, called LightHeaded. Ill try find a link later, but it's basically a small addon to the quest log interface, which gives some information about the quest, and comments directly from wowhead that people have posted on wowhead.com, such as coords to certain mobs/item farming areas etc.

I'll have to check it out, I haven't heard of it until now.

Also, yeah, I tried to make this a guide you didn't have to follow level by level. Whenever I was looking for a leveling guide, this is something I was looking for. Something which told me which zone to do, and expected I could hold my own while there. I'm expecting most people are smart enough to be able to pick up quests they see, and do them. Some people may have to leave a zone earlier than I said, or stay longer than I expected someone to, but in general it helps people figure out where to go. I'm using this guide right now for leveling my warrior, so far hes 35 and its all worked fine for me. Even after having so many 70s, I need to use references like this to help me level. It makes it faster.

I planned for it to be a lot shorter, but I went rambling on. I was thinking about adding reputation / profession sections, but I don't think its really needed.

Edit: By the way, if anyone sees any huge typos, or problems with it, please let me know. I wrote this in one night in a caffeine frenzy, so I'm sure there are things I've missed.

LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab when you get stuck on quest. Thisaddon was inspired by qcomments and wowhead_quests, which both serve a similar purpose. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you're not using more memory than you need to.

The addon I use to make my quest log wide, is called DoubleWide, and you can download it here at http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6887-DoubleWide.html. LightHeaded should work with any quest log that uses QuestLogFrame.

I HIGHLY suggest using this addon with TomTom, another one of my addons (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7032-TomTom.html). This allows you to simply click any coordinate in LightHeaded to add it to your map as a waypoint.

Actually this guide is quite the awesomenes. I've been following it and my warrior went from 50 to 54 in a day. That's probablt cause I have too much FREE time but whatever.

9.5/10

Edit: Make that 55. 9.7/10

I've been considering making an alliance character, and leveling it over the summer, but I'm not sure.

A friend of mine is making an Alliance, and even though I'm sick of alliance, I do want a dwarf paladin... So I may level it. If I do, I might add a alliance version of this guide, though it wont have as much information, since all my characters, but one are horde.

The way dwarfs cast heals is just too cool for me to handle.

Also, once I scrape some money up to pay for another month of WoW, I'll try Lightheaded out. I've gone a week or so without being able to log on. I think I tried it a long, long time ago.

You know, my warrior is alliance and I followed this guide from level 50.

I could of followed it from level 30 (following this guide) cause it's basically all the same after the first 20-25 levels. The only difference is the towns.

The warrior's 62 now. He would be 64 by now to be honest but I'm leveling his Blacksmithing so yeah.

Not at all. In the 20+ zones, all quests to horde and alliance are identical, except for the occasional faction only quest. Which is like 1 in every 3 zones.

Yeah, I know. Making an alliance guide would generally be the same guide, but with different town names, and whatnot. They would be different though.

I've been thinking about recording from 1-70, it would just waste so much space on my computer. Though, I think it would be pretty useful if made right. I'd just need to find another class to level, all I really have left is a paladin, and a priest that aren't close to 70. Eh, I'll consider it once my mage and warrior are 70, 15 levels away on each.

Its true. I used it for leveling my first horde character, and I honestly spent 80% of the time sitting at my desk reading it, instead of leveling. I gave up with it at level 30 something. Its good, its just... too good?

If you have questhelper you won't need lightheaded, questhelper TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO.

And there aren't a lot of faction only quests. I personally have leveled both alliance and horde characters on REAL servers and know the difference, which is minimal.

I couldn't say half as much for you.

Lightheaded does exactly the same.
and there's no need for the insults.
I also like how you assume that I've never levelled both alliance and horde chars on real servers and that if I have, that I dont know the difference. You know nothing about me, shut up.

You'll find very surprising that even if you haven't told me any facts about you, I can still tell a lot of your in-game stuff simply by the way you act, and also sometimes simply in the stuff you say.

But anyways, lets quote you:


Quote
I'm not experienced enough to have a say in this, since my highest character is 36


But then again, you quite obviously have a high level character, atleast according to armory, which shows a troll hunter when you were leveling a something warlock before. I don't know, you probably rerolled. Smart. But armory shows that he's 65 and also:

Don't ever go Alliance if you plan on PvPing.

Worst idea I've ever done and I regret it to this day. I would trade my 4/5 veng holy pally for a horde anything with equal gear but hey...that's never going to happen.
