I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for some time now and like most newbies, I began with an Alliance character. After a while, I realized that most of my friends played Horde, so I created a new character, and boy was I in for a surprise. Not only are the quests quicker and much closer together, but there seem to be so many more to do. Unfortunately, most of the free leveling guides on the net seem to include endless, boring grinding sessions.

Wanting to catch up to the high level my friends were at quickly, but not wanting to grind my way through the game, I bought Joana’s 1-80 Horde Leveling Guide. Playing on my own had gotten me to level 20 in about 2 months - but using this amazing in-game guide I got through to level 80 in just 9 days. The creator of the guide, Joana, actually leveled through to 80 in 4 days and 20 hours playing time. That’s simply amazing.

The best part about this guide is that you’re not reading boring text and trying to figure out where you need to go. This is an actual in-game guide that shows you precisely where all the high XP quest-givers are hiding and when you get close to where you need to be to find hidden items, an arrow lights up and points the way.

This means no more wasted time running around looking for items or loot or quest tokens for hours. You already know exactly where to look. The automatic waypoint arrows let you know which quests you should be doing in any area so you’re not running back and forth across continents.

The original guide is an in-depth run through levels 1 up to 60, so you should find yourself ready to go to Outland within a week. Once you’re in Outland, Joana’s Horde Guide will lead you through each quest quickly and before you know it, you’re on your way to Northrend with her levels 70-80 updated section.

One of the features I found really helpful was the fact that I would often have to double back and repeat an area for a quest I’d missed. Joana’s guide actually highlights all available quests in one area, so you can complete multiple quests in one sweep, head back to the nearest town to hand in your completed quests, sell off all your junk and head back out to a different zone.

Another excellent addition that Joana’s included are the time-wasting quests. The game’s creators, Blizzard, have included some quests that take forever to complete, kill your character several times over, and then give out lame loot or low XP as a result. Joana points out which ones of these to avoid and points you at really high XP quests instead.

Of course, if you have the capacity to get your character to Northrend, this
also means you have the capacity to create your own Death Knight character. Joana has even included a brilliant Death Knight leveling guide to get you from 55-60 in a speed run that is unbelievable.

Joana’s 1-80 Horde Leveling Guide will cover any Horde class character and is highly recommended for anyone wanting to level up quickly and easily.
