How to Speed Level in World of Warcraft



How to Speed Level in World of Warcraft

WoW speed leveling is the goal behind every hardcore world of warcraft gamer. I know as I am a hardcore gamer myself having played the game since its inception. Every time I create a new character my goal is to break my own wow speed leveling record. A task that is easier said then done especially if you play on PvP servers like myself as each power run is different.

The heart of warcarft speed leveling started back when the first leveling guides hit the scene. These were and still are immensely popular among world of warcraft gamers but the question is are power leveling guides like Joanas horde leveling guide and the Brian Kopp Alliance guide still considered true speed leveling guides? The answer may surprise you.

Let's look at how a typical gamer plays world of warcraft. They are power gaming through a particular zone with the goal of either finish chain questing or grinding like mad. Somewhere during the course of this you get stuck, you either forget where that npc is found or where that sweet spot is to travel through or the most efficient means of finishing that huge chain quest. What to do? Well you probably have landed up doing the following, you find some tree or rock to hide behind so you don't get ganked and Alt+Tab over to your trusty leveling guide. It only takes a few moments right? Then you Alt+tab back into the game and your off again on a whirl wind speed adventure. Sound familiar? I bet it does because as I said most wow players play with this exact same playing style.

The problem is this is not how to speed level in World of Warcraft. Why? Because, it simply is not efficient. If you were to keep a running total of exactly how much time you wasted Alt tabbing in and out of the game, and add this up over the course of several levels the amount of in game time you wasted would surprise you. In fact you would probably find that this was enough wasted time to amount to a couple levels.

The trick to warcraft speed leveling is efficiency. You need to maximize your game time and minimize your down time. We have all heard that right. But it is also true of Alt tabbing. The sheer tactic of Alt+tabbing wastes time. To be a true wow speed leveling guru you need to eliminate this playing habit in order to get to level 70 faster.

This is exactly why leveling guides like the old standbys are no longer efficient. Sure they had their place a couple years ago but they just can't keep up with the ever evolving game. Thanks to changes and developments from mod develops it is possible to tap into the knowledge of these popular leveling guides without having to leave the game.

iDemise developed the first and only in-game leveling system. It sits right inside the game just like a map mod and is 100% legal. Having this information at your fingertips from within the game is a huge advantage. This eliminates the time costly alt+tab effect and enables you to shave days off of your speed leveling runs. The difference this makes to playing the game efficiently is huge. For this reason alone while Joanas Horde Guide and Brian Kopps are great, they no longer are efficient enough to be called wow speed leveling guides.

T Nantais is a hardcore world of warcraft player. His discovery of the only ingame world of warcraft speed leveling guide that acts just like a map mod has made the whole difference to his playing style. For more information check out http://www.squidoo.com/ultimate-world-of-warcraft-leveling
