World of Warcraft - A Guide to Leveling Guides

LEVELING GUIDES...


There is an increasing amount of WoW players searching for leveling guides. This is understandable given the sheer size of the game and as more and more people sign up to this incredible fantasy adventure, the demand for guidance will inevitably grow.


Running around the massive virtual environments, chatting with other players and generally getting the feel for the game can be a lot of fun to the beginner, but because your paying to play the game, your desire to learn and get stuck into it may soon come into swing, leaving you now open to a whole range of frustrations. Time and money is easily wasted- either by the newbie who doesn't really know what he or she is doing- or even by the more experienced player whose focus is on one or two small goals. Thats right! even those with experience can still benefit from a guide. A lot of experienced Warcraft players are self taught and may not be aware of further opportunities available to them. An experienced player doesn't necessarily utilize the games full potential. safe wow powerleveling


A good leveling guide can help you manage your efforts, make your experience a more enjoyable one and ultimately help you benefit from the glorious World of Warcraft. Of course, as the demand for leveling guides grow, the desire to sell the information also grows and now there is a stream of guides profiting from this particular market.


CHOOSING & INVESTING IN A GUIDE...


One of the truly enlightening aspects to WoW is the camaraderie amongst players. Seasoned experts are willing to help the newbies in various ways, whether it be live in the game or the exchange of information via messengers or emails. Of course now the experts have realised the money making potentials and are able to financially benefit by converting their knowledge and wisdom into e-books or other formats.


At this time, it can be relatively easy to find the right guide. The popular ones within the many are beginning to speak for themselves, making it slightly easier to distinguish the genuine help from the scams. Out of the hundreds, only 5 or 6 have emerged as popular beneficial guides thus far and articles such as these do well to point you in the right direction. safe wow powerleveling


POINTS TO CONSIDER...


As we've established, a good leveling guide can play in important part in successful gaming- listen to the experts! Also, just like in real life, it helps to set goals for yourself. Think about what you want to accomplish within the game and adjust your focus. Make sure you understand the nature of your missions and strategise. It also helps to be comfortable when your playing. Listen to music and make sure you take regular breaks- use that time to think about your next step and return to your computer refreshed and revitalised. Again, a good leveling guide is the backbone to all of the aforementioned.

Power Leveling In World Of Warcraft

Power leveling in World of Warcraft can be achieved without paying for those expensive and unnecessary leveling services. It seems like players of any of the popular online role playing games are always in a hurry to gain as many levels as possible.

I actually started playing online games back when they were text based and you connected to them through the old bulletin board services. Even back then players were always looking for a fast way to level characters so I guess I can understand why today's gamers would want to level fast in WoW. As with any other game there is certainly ways to power level in World of Warcraft and all it took was a few smart players to figure it out and document the process for other players to follow. cheap wow powerleveling

I'm not sure how many different ways you can gain levels fast in WoW but i have tried a few of them including a couple of the popular leveling services and the one thing I can tell you for sure is they do work but the services are way out of line compared to the cost of the popular guides. I never could understand why someone would want to pay someone else to power level a world of warcraft character for them when I always thought gaining levels was the ultimate experience in playing an online role playing game.


Some of the leveling guides on the other hand can be a pretty good bargain for the information and resources they are offering beyond simply being able to power level.Some of them provide constant updates, bonus gold guides, access to pro gamer forums and a wide variety of other in game benefits at what I would consider a pretty decent price.cheap wow powerleveling


The nice thing about some of the better World of Warcraft power leveling guides is you can use them for multiple characters when the services are good for only one character per payment not to mention the idea of giving someone you user-name and password without really knowing who they are just does not sit well with me.

World of Warcraft Trading Cards - 10 Tips To Help You Play The World Of Warcraft Trading Card Game

Since their release in October 2006, the World of Warcraft trading cards have increased in popularity. There are now quite a large number of different packs available for card traders to collect. Although as with all cards, there are those who just wish to collect them, many more people buy them with the intention of using them to actually play the game. Below are 10 tips, which will help those people get more enjoyment from their WoW trading cards. worldofwarcraft powerleveling


1. Make sure you check out the official website for the trading card game, before starting to play the game.


2. After reading the rules, print out the sample pack from the website and play the game with these.


2. Begin with a starter deck, this comes with 33 fixed cards comprising 1 Hero and 32 others.


3. Each Hero card is two sided, start with the side which has the trait icons. Flip the card to use your Hero's power as you play the game.


4. Booster packs are available to help you build your deck, as you want it. (some of these cards have scratch-off codes, for online prize redemption).


5. Each deck is built around one of the nine World of Warcraft classes, found in the online game.


6. The cards can change or go beyond the game's basic rules.


7. Always remember, the card is always right - do what it says- even if the rules say something different.


8. Because you choose which cards you want to play in your deck, and who your hero is etc, you have TOTAL control over the power of your deck.


9. Your cards can be in any one of six game zones but all players share the chain and play zones. worldofwarcraft powerleveling


10. As the game progresses, add allies so that you can use their powers against your foe.

World of Warcraft Hacks - 4 WoW Exploits

World of Warcraft hacks and exploits aren't necessarily cheating, just fun and sometimes profitable "special cases" that players have found while adventuring. Here are a few that you can try for yourself.


See Mob Weapon Drops Before they are Killed

This WoW hack is for the Alter of Storms (and maybe other places) in the Blasted Lands. The monsters that spawn there seem to have a bug with weapon drops. If the mob is going to drop a weapon or offhand item you'll see them carrying it around instead of their normal default staff, sword, etc. worldofwarcraft powerleveling


You can use this to scan around for epic drops! Both the Glowing Brightwood Staff and Krol Blade have the potential of dropping here so there's big gold to be made picking out and killing the right mobs! Just run around scanning the mobs and if one is holding a Glowing Brightwood instead of their boring staff or sword you're guaranteed the staff when you kill it!


(This also proves that loot is pre-determined when the mob is spawned instead of allocated once there is a corpse.)


Sell your AH items for above normal price

Not exactly a World of Warcraft exploit but a good way to use player's greed against them and make some extra gold quickly. First you must actually have an epic/blue you wish to sell. Put it in the auction house for a much higher than normal price using an alt then advertise that it's up on the trade channel (e.g. Glowing Brightwood Staff in AH - 500 gold (normally goes for around 250 gold)).


Log onto your main a few minutes later and advertise that you want to buy the item - e.g. WTB Glowing Brightwood Staff! Will pay 700g!


People are so greedy they will go to the AH and buyout your staff and /w you that they will sell you it for 700 gold.


Next say someone is already going too sell you one and you just sold an epic for a higher then normal price easily, quickly and in a non-scamming way. This isn't a WoW hack or WoW exploit but it works like a charm!


Easy Warrior Weapon Skillups

The trick is to find an undead skeleton or ghost type mob that’s immune to Rend. Charge them and continuously rend. It will be immune but it will still count as a swing and you will still level up the skill. You will also keep your rage because the mob is immune and be able to continuously rend without needing to do any damage. Therefore allowing you to do it an infinite number of times, until your weapon skill is max. worldofwarcraft powerleveling


Change Your Character’s Name During Realm Transfer

This is old but I put it here for the people that don't know. If the character name already exists in the realm that you wish to transfer, you will be given the option to select a new name. So simply create a new character with your current name on the realm before you start the transfer.

World of Warcraft Credit Card - The Card That Rewards Play

The World of Warcraft credit card has its own special rewards. It lets cardholders earn playing time with every qualifying purchase. In fact, the first purchase on the credit card yields a month of free World of Warcraft subscription time. Every dollar in qualifying purchases also earns the user one reward point. Points can be redeemed for World of Warcraft game time. While there is no limit to the amount of points cardholders will be able to earn, rewards points expire after five years from they date they post to the user's credit card account.


There's another component to a loyalty program for online gaming - avatars. If you "play" any of these MMORPG, you know that a lot of emphasis is on the appearance of your virtual identity such as personalizing your avatar. It is impossible to fly or walk without seeing virtual clothing makers and avatar stores. You can (and will) spend countless hours dressing up and personalizing your digital doppelganger - even in Warcraft, your avatar is something you spend months and soon, years developing. safe wow gold


As the time of this writing, there are 166,922 residents, spending over 135,984.00 in 24 hours and $6.5 million USD in transactions took place is about 20 days. In 2006, there's a good chance $100 million USD dollars worth of transactions will flow through the virtual world. It is not strange that credit card companies, Pay Pal, Amazon, eBay and the individual "gaming" companies are trying to bridge the real and virtual currencies with loyalty programs and private label credit cards such as the WoW Credit Card.


The World of Warcraft credit card features thirteen WoW-themed design options, including Orcs, Draenei, Trolls, Blood Elves, Gnomes, Taurens, Humans and more. These designs certainly aren't just your everyday bank logo and really look cool. safe wow gold


While cardholders are earning playing time, they will also be able to save money with the card's 0 percent APR on all purchases and balance transfers for the first 12 months. The World of Warcraft Rewards Visa also charges no annual fee.

Brian Kopp's Alliance Leveling Guide - Leveling 1-70 While Playing World of Warcraft Solo

Brian Kopp’s Alliance Guide is the first guide I bought after starting to play World of Warcraft and getting frustrated with how slow the leveling process turning out to be. I spend a lot of hours at work so I don’t have the time to do the same when I play WoW. I’m lucky if I get one night or two a week with several hours devoted to it on the weekends. Of course, spending so much time on the weekends playing Warcraft tends to mean that errands don’t get done cheap wow gold


The other big thing is that I know that WoW is meant to be this big multiple player game, but for myself I prefer to mostly play solo. I don’t have a guild I hang out with or regular players that I chat with. I’ll occasionally group up to run some instances, but only if I have the time to do it. It’s amazing just how much grouping and chatting online really consumes your time.


I didn’t have much trouble at the lower levels playing by myself, but once I got into the mid-20s or so I started to really feel how long it was taking to gain levels incrementally and it got frustrating so I looking into some of the guides available and decided to go with Brian’ Kopps Guide.


And I found it worked out pretty well. One of the best things about Brian Kopp’s guide for Alliance faction is that since he’s a speed runner, he does most of his leveling and questing by himself, so he does big solo runs through the game. Once I started using Brian’s leveling guide I abandoned my original character and rolled up a new one on a different PVE server (I was on a PvP before, big mistake! I hate getting killed!) just to test it out and I found that I was even getting through the early levels much faster (it helped not being killed constantly). cheap wow gold


It ended up taking me a little over 3 months to get to level 70 and that’s with only playing about 15 hours a week or so. The first week I had the guide I probably put in about 45 hours because I was moving so fast and so into it too. So I think someone who had a lot more time to devote to the game could really bang through the levels quickly.
