Cataclysm guides are all set and ready to go!
Well, you're most likely here because you're looking for the fastest/best/most fun ways to level up your new Alliance characters. The following guides will hopefully help you accomplish that task. We've spent a lot of time compiling what we think are the most complete alliance leveling guides. Many of the guides are pretty similar, with the pay guides typically being the best of the lot... which I'd imagine you hope is the case. Why waste the money if they give you nothing worthwhile in return? You can read how we review the guides below or you can go ahead and select the type of guide you want to review by selecting it on the menu to the right. Regardless of if you wish to quest and follow the storyline or powerlevel your alliance character these guides should all be able to help. That is our hope. Good luck!

How we review each Cataclysm Alliance Leveling guide

  • 1-10

    We rank each leveling guide on a scale of 1 to 10. Creative, I know. Each guide is broken down into the sections you find below and each of those sections is graded from 1 to 10 to create the composite score for the guide.

  • Speed

    While speed will depend upon your personal playing style, most leveling guides have proof of how fast they have attained level 85. Pretty simple - the faster the higher the rating.

  • Maps

    The best guides SHOW you where to go. We will note which have detailed maps and add ons. Some people prefer to know which quests to do, but not necessarily where to go for them. The more detailed the maps and add on the higher the score.

  • Quest details

    Most guides not only tell you which quests are the most efficient but will also link out to wowwiki/wowhead/thottbot/etc for more details on exactly what needs to be done should the quest helper or leveling guide add on not provide enough information. The more details for each quest the higher score the guide will get. Makes sense, no?

  • Videos

    Some guides provide videos from start to end. Some include videos to show you how to kill some of the harder targets on quests several levels ahead of you - which means more exp. The breadth of videos determines the guides score for this section.

  • Class

    Many Alliance Leveling guides are done by Hunters or Warlocks. The quests you'd do most of the time will remain the same regardless of class - however, this means the videos may not help you as much on some quests. Some guides are class-specific. Obviously you do not want a guide geared specifically at hunters if you plan to play a Paladin and so on.

  • Updates

    a good alliance leveling guide will give free updates whenever they become available. However, some do not. We let you know which do and which don't.
