Recently, a couple of new leveling guides for World of Warcraft were released and they both do a good job of toppling some of the long-time top guides. They are the Team iDemise leveling guides. There are two different guides available, one for Horde and the other for Alliance. Let's take a look at what makes them so special here.
So who are Team iDemise?
Team iDemise is a professional group of gamers who play a variety of games online. They initially built their reputation playing Counter-Strike: Counter-Strike at tournaments and they are the #1 ranked Counter-Strike source team. They also have the #1 Ranking for Quake as well.
One of their players, "Cursed", holds the speed record for levels 1-70 in Warcraft with a played time of 6 days and 5 hours. And now that the Northlands expansion has arrived, Team iDemise have spent their time finding the best ways to speed level to 80.
Their new WoW Leveling Guides offers step-by-step instructions on how to level up to 80 as quickly as they do, by not only telling you which quests you need to complete, but what order to do them in and which quests to skip completely. With their guidance you should easily trim days -- or even months -- off your played time to get to level 80, depending on what kind of player you are. We are talking extreme efficiency here. They calculated everything down to the nano-second. I can't imagine what kind of mind it takes to be that obsessively detail-oriented!
One of the best advantages of the Team iDemise guides, and why I recommend you purchase at least one of them, even if you already have some other leveling guides, is that each member of the Team took a different character class and leveled them up.
Most of the other guides on the market give tips on how to level with different character classes, but their main guidance is frequently reserved for the Hunter class, which tends to be the easiest character class to level anyway. That's great if you only ever want to play Hunters, but if you want to try another class, you're kind of out of luck when it comes to speed runs. Naturally, the IDemise guides has a ton of advice for hunters as well if that's your favorite character class, but now you won't be limited to always running with a hunter. You can roll up a Druid or a Paladin and take one for a speed run.
And by playing each character class, Team iDemise was able to determine by trial and error which routes and quests were too difficult to even bother trying to complete for each character class, thus saving you a ton of time on your own questing.
One of the major similarities with other Leveling Guides is that the Team iDemise Guides focus on questing rather than grinding. If you've played Warcraft for any length of time its probably become clear to you that grinding is boring and stupid. Questing gains you a lot more experience and it is also more fun.
Another huge advantage of the Team iDemise over some of the other guides available is their customized in-game mod, called QuestUp. It will help increase your leveling speed because you are able to use it to follow their guide completely in-game. You don¡¯t need to alt-tab back and forth between game and guide and you don¡¯t need to hop off to Thottbott to follow the instructions for each quest (as you do with some of the first guides written, like Brian Kopp's). All of the information you need is contained on your map with step-by-step instructions for what you need to do next. Because of the way QuestUp is built, you will find yourself leveling much faster than you ever thought possible.
