How many World of Warcraft leveling guides have you seen on the market since you first started playing the game? It probably seems like a new one pops up every few weeks or so and you have no way of knowing which ones are good and which ones are a waste of money. Here are the five things that every good World of Warcraft leveling guide should have before you invest any of your hard earned real world money into it.
1. Clear Concise Writing – The number one thing many World of Warcraft leveling guides have a problem with is a decent grasp of the English language. Not everyone is a professional writer, and most World of Warcraft leveling guides reflect this. But, that does not mean these guide writers have an excuse for poor writing and unclear instructions. Look for a guide that is detailed, concise, and most of all uses proper grammar. You’ll thank yourself later for being able to more easily read it.
2. Images, Videos, and Mods to Make the Process Easier – The little things, such as videos, images, and in-game leveling mods are incredibly useful in a World of Warcraft leveling guide. Knowing what you’re looking for, where you should be, and how your game should be progressing are all vital aspects of any guide.
3. Coordinates and Easy to Read Steps – Make sure your World of Warcraft leveling guide has coordinates laid out for every step of the process. You need to know exactly where you are going and in what order to go there. If things are not well divided and marked, how can you be sure they are at all accurate?
4. Accurate, Up to Date Instructions – Sometimes, a World of Warcraft leveling guide will be out of date, a relic from a previous version of the game. Say, for example you buy a World of Warcraft leveling guide that was written before the 2.3 patch. That particular patch knocked off a total of almost 8% of the XP needed to reach Level 80. With an old guide, you would be stuck completing harder, more unnecessary quests. Make sure your guide is up to date.
5. Unlimited Updates – Every World of Warcraft leveling guide on the market should come with a lifetime guarantee for updates and revisions as the game changes. New patches, new expansion packs, and any other new content that appears should be reflected in your World of Warcraft leveling guide as quickly as possible.
A good World of Warcraft leveling guide is many things – it is versatile, accurate, and detailed, and most of all it is effective in helping you reach Level 80 as fast as possible. If your guide does not do these things, you may have paid for a subpar product. Do your research, check the offerings of your World of Warcraft leveling guide and make sure it is the best possible guide you can buy for your money.
