For Horde and Alliance, this is killer guide. It gives you an easy to follow path that covers every step of the way from level 1 to 70, whether you're Alliance or Horde, and no matter which race your character happens to be.
Biggest minus - It's not a fully in-game guide, so you will have to switch back and forth from the main map to look up coordinates and set waypoints. Not a big thing, but it adds some time if you're speed leveling.
Biggest plus - A good path that will get you leveled as fast as any guide out there fast and the price is lower than the competition, much lower than some.
What you get - The EliteWoW Leveling Guide is an Abobe PDF with the leveling path to take you from level 1 to level 70. It includes the starting areas for each race. Each Horde race will start in its own area, level to 13, then head out to the barrens where they all follow the same path. Personally, I feel that the Blood Elves should go to the Ghostlands for the run up to 21, since the leveling there is faster. The again, I'm not writing the guide. :)
Alliance will all level in their respective areas until 11, then head to Westfall, except for the Draenei who will stick with their own areas until 20, then all Ally will follow the same path for the rest of their leveling.
Each step in the guide is bulleted (see below,) so you'll just go from bullet to bullet and level, do the steps, and level fast.
Every quest is linked to Thottbot.com for more info, if you need it. Click the link and you'll see what Thottbot has to say about that quest and what comments Thottbot users have made (usually quote a few.)
On the (Meta) Map
Every quest that has a coordinate is listed in the MetaMap coordinates, so you can go to your map, scroll down the coordinate list, left click the coordinate in the list and you'll see a glowing dot on the map. Right click the glowing spot and set you waypoint, then off you go.
The MetaMap is an addon to your game and complete, easy to follow, installation instructions are provided.
One quibble: The entire guide is a list which is not broken up by any images or chapter headings. Since it's an Adobe PDF you can search for where you want to go, Shimmering Flats, for example, but chapter or sections headings, linked to from a table of contents would be nice.
Here's a shot from the Elite WoW Guide for the Dwarf/Gnome starting area. Note the list of steps, the links to Thottbot.com, and the coordinates. All the coordinates can be found on the main map if you've installed the MetaMap addon.
This is your main map with the EliteWow MetaMap addon installed. The list of coordinates from the guide is on the right side and you'll note the dots scattered about the map. Right click any of the dots, set a waypoint, and off you go.
The MetaMap "Add/Edit Note" window. You can make your own map markers and you can edit any other market, including the ones that are part of the guide.
Open up the guide and you'll see some leveling tips and then you're right into the guide. Pick your race, click the link, and off you go.
Many people print the guide, put it on a clipboard, and cross off each step as they do it. This lets youi keep track of exactly where you are in the guide and you'll find yourself leveling at a much faster rate that you eve have before. If you take a week-long break youi will be able to pick up right where you left off.
And the price! Zygor's Guide is $50 for either Horde or Alliance. iDemise, Joana, and Brian's Guides are all in the $35 to $38 range for Alliance or Horde, and the Elite WoW Guide is $40 for the combined Horde and Alliance guides.
Wondering about whether the Elite WOW guides will become obsolete with the new patch and the new level 80 cap? Here's what they have to say about that:
We will make sure all our customers receive updates of new guides, this includes the current Elite WoW 1-70 Guides and future 1-80 WoW guides for the next World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich King!
