So how do you do it? How do you get to 80 in a matter of a week of playing time as opposed to MONTHS of play time? The secret is to become a power leveler. There are a few parts to doing this. First, find an advanced player. Either find a guildie or make friends in a city somewhere. Then have them run you through instances to get the xp. Just make sure you don’t get left alone or you’re toast! The second step is to develop laser focus in your leveling efforts. Only take quests that give you over 1000 xp for the lower levels, and as you progress, keep looking for high level quests. You can do a few of the lower level ones if you need a break (or if they look really fun), but generally STAY FOCUSED.

You’re going to need some help finding an order to do the quests in. One of the nice things blizzard has done for us is include the locations of the quests on the map. Very nice. But how do you find the high level ones? At this point, there’s really no substitute for a good in-game leveler. Even with all the fancy new gadgets, blizzard won’t guide you to the best quests for the area you’re in, nor tell you where the next best level for you is. There are a few guides out there, but I still recommend Questup. They’ve been reliable for as long as I’ve been playing the game, and they’ll lead you exactly where you need to go.

They also include a little compass gadget to guide you to your next quest location and a coordinate guide, in case you want to find something not included with the guide. (I used this to find the Greench a couple of years ago for the Winterveil achievement for the first time. SUCH an epic battle).

Just by reading this article, you’re going to learn things about the Idemise Guide that most of it’s users have no idea exist.

That is…not yet. Idemise takes an ordinary concept and adds it into this extraordinary guide that really helps you own the game experience, no matter how much or little time you might have.

The concept is called “Perfect Kill Range”.

While I don’t want to spoil the surprise ending, I will tell you that this piece of the program alone makes the whole add-on worth owning. It keeps the game interesting, fun, and most importantly keeps up the pace of the game. The truth of the matter is that the Idemise guide does seem to be more biased toward Horde leveling (probably because the developers prefer Horde characters), it lays out quest paths for any playable class, Horde or Alliance notwithstanding. A lot of leveling guides like to focus on hunters or warlocks. Not these guys. With good choices in talents, any class with any race can thrive and flourish in the World.

Team Idemise did what nobody else has done as effectively, they’re able to uncover the best quests for each class to level the most quickly and efficiently. Now, this isn’t to say that Questup is perfect. The only major downside is that the Idemise guide is geared towards ALL classes, but it doesn’t always have the class quests available. It also tends to assume you know where everything is geographically in all of the cities, regions, continents, and areas of the World. Luckily, they do include a coordinate option as well, so if you need to look up where something is, it can lead you right to it with the right coordinates. Certainly, though, the good outweighs the trying in the Idemise Guide. It’s worth a second look for ANYONE who’s serious about becoming a power-player, and especially for those who want to avoid wasting time in World of Warcraft.

I HIGHlY recommend it to anyone interested

World of Warcraft ui mods can be SUCH a pain. Don’t you just love it when you log into your WoW account and find that your beloved addons no longer work?

I think it was two or three patches ago that this happened to me.  Suddenly my map addons were gone, my trade addons wouldn’t work right, and everything went kablooie.  I was SO mad.  It takes a lot of work to find just the right tools for your ideal gaming experience, you know? Then you get to go through and either complain to the addon’s makers, (which I always feel guilty about because they’re usually GIVING this stuff away), or you can spend the tedious time it takes to find all new ones.  So you crawl all over Google, ask around on the trade chats, and whatever else you can think of to get things back to a SEMBLANCE of normalcy.  Then you wait for the next update to see if you have to do it all over again.

One of these days I’ll have to post a list of my favorite addons here as a resource for people looking.  Or maybe I’ll just start a support group for the “add-on abandoned anonymous” or AAA.   You know you’d join.

The only addon I had that survived was this one.

Okay, that felt good to get off my chest.

Let’s talk a little sales 101 here.  I know people hate salesmen, but it’s one of those things you just can’t avoid in WoW.  If you want to be an effective professional in ANY of the professions, you’re going to need some basic sales skills.  Here’s a quick tip to get people to respond to you.

Always pitch the benefit, and pitch it from the customer’s point of view:

Imagine for a minute two guys come up to you.  One can’t spell, he just tells you how bad he needs work and how hard it is for him.  The other says something like “Excuse me, but I noticed your cloak is bare.  If you’d like, I would love to enchant it for you.  I have the mats to give it ______________ (insert benefit).”

Notice how guy number two spells everything right, he uses good grammar, and he said “look what I can do for you” instead of “Help me”.  Whether we like it or not, we’re judged in game and out by the appearances we use.  Our appearance online, however, has a lot more to do with our spelling and grammar than our character appearance.  Bear in mind, keeping this in mind in your every day life will have a HUGE impact on you as well, but if nothing else, you’re making the game a better place.

So, if you use correct english, good grammar, and the right tools, you’re going to see a marked improvement in all areas of the game.  Best of luck.

Dual Gathering Professions – One of the easiest ways to make some quick gold in the game is to learn what things people need a lot of. If someone wants to level up a profession really fast, a lot of times they’ll spend a lot of money on buying materials to do so. In order to take advantage of this, you need to learn what materials (like leather, metals, herbs, etc.) they’ll need in order to grow their characters profession levels. Post these in the auction house. Experiment with the prices a little bit, and you’ll be able to figure out what’s selling well, when it’s selling well, and any other useful information. After enough testing, you should be able to figure out what the most profitable items are. This will vary from server to server, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Earning gold this way does take some time, but it’s a LOT faster than trying to get your money from drops in the world. Remember, the World of Warcraft Auction House is the world’s only “Truly” free market, meaning that the prices are COMPLETELY set by the players. If you can learn what they need and provide it for them, you’ll never want for a little Warcraft moola. Happy earnings!

And most of all, they want it done FAST!

Two weeks is the fastest anyone I know personally has achieved the coveted level 80, but it may be possible to go faster.  I dragged the following info out of this person (there may have been some kicking, screaming, and hair pulling to go along with it, too, but I got it for you).

1.  Get a solid in-game leveling program.  The idea here is that not all quests are created equal.  You need to know which quests will give you the most XP in order to level faster.  You also want one that’s in-game so you don’t have to switch between a document and your WoW screen all the time. My source uses Team Idemise’s Questup addon that you can learn more about by clicking here.

2.  Play OFTEN.  The more you play, the more you’ll level up.

3.  Don’t focus on getting gold, leveling professions, or building up your gear until you hit at least level 30.  Even then, focus on getting strong enough gear from the auction house to keep you alive.  Remember, the goal here is speed to getting to Lvl 80, nothing else. You can always powerlevel professions and stuff later.  (I’ll write an article on this another time).

4.  Get some buddies to quest with you.  Remember, if you’re using a good leveler, the bulk of your experience will come from turning in quests, not necessarily from killing things.  If you’re concerned about taking an XP cut by working with chars that are a lot higher level than you, tell your friends to work on an alt with you for a while.  You should have one of you be the guide and one be the muscle.

5.  If you can get a large enough group together, make sure you collect all the quests for them and run the low-level instances.  For alliance, this will mean Deadmines, Stockades, and Blackfathom Depths.  If you get bored of questing, these are a good alternative as well to mix things up a little.
There you go!  Five quick tips for reaching lvl 80 in around two weeks.  Make sure you play often, have a good leveler, get a few good friends to help you out, and run the instances.  You’ll be hearing that final Ding! in no time.  Best of luck.  If you have any other tips, please share them in the comments section below.
