Tired of Starting from Scratch with a New Class?

This is probably my biggest issue with World of Warcraft – it is not a problem with the game itself. No, I love the game; I’ve been playing it since 2004 and haven’t been lured away by any other game since. I’ve leveled up five characters to Level 70 for Alliance and two for Horde and no one looks forward more to the new content of Lich King than myself, but that doesn’t mean I necessarily like having to go through low level content time and again whenever I level a new character. After 7 times through (in reality this is more like 20 times through if you include the times I’ve started and stopped) with different characters, I’m dead tired of starting over and it’s even worse with new classes.

Which is why a product like the one over at WarcraftPros had me all sorts of excited. If you’ve read any other class guides before, you know they usually don’t offer much – I’ve seen guides that provide a decent amount of information about the talents and others that spend twenty pages on race selection, but none of them really touch on everything you need to know for the class and still leave me wondering what I should be leveling up at 20 and where to look for gear at 30.

But, over at WarcraftPros, I found a new product that actually touches on pretty much everything I need to know. Some guides are for beginners and others for veterans, but these class guides hit on every aspect of the class from start to end-game and that immediately makes them stand out. When you play a game like World of Warcraft as much as I have and there are still parts that you have not yet experienced, having to dig through boring introductory information can be mind numbing. These class guides skip right past those details while not acting like you know everything. So, you learn that a Mage’s best leveling spec is Frost and that the gear you want is going to be from drops until you hit level 50, but you aren’t beat over the head with it – it’s a nice change of pace.

Basically, if you’re still looking at your account dreading starting yet another new character because the Shaman or Paladin is just a bit too complex and you just don’t feel like being pwned outright in world PvP, you need to visit WarcraftPros today and take a look at these guides. The best part too is that if you are a beginner and know you will need more than one guide, they’re offering a hefty discount for buying all 9. I know for a fact that I’ll be headed back here in November when Lich King is out to read up on the Death Knight before I start up play with one myself.

Warcraft Millionaire – The Perfect Gold Guide?

There’s been a lot of talk lately about a new comer to what many of us might call an overcrowded gold guide market – that of Warcraft Millionaire.

I’ve read a lot about Brad, the author’s, claims and was quite skeptical at first that anyone could have made 1 million gold in a game that has a gold cap of 214,748 gold, 36 silver, 48 copper. It just didn’t seem possible and so I, like many, wrote it off at first as creative boasting by another guide writer. Don’t make the same mistake I did though!

This guide is the real deal. Not only does Brad provide video proof of his claims on his website (watch the video here), he provides one of the most comprehensive gold guides I’ve seen yet. Not only do you get a half dozen different guides; a 1-60 guide, an Outland guide, a grinding guide, a Daily Quest guide, an Auction House guide, and a Limited Items compendium; he writes it in a way that is easy to understand reference – an issue I’ve heard time and again with other gold guides on the market.

Once you crack into the beginner’s guide and start reading the tips and tricks that Brad has to offer, you start to see just why he was able to become the game’s first millionaire. It’s not just a laundry list of grinding locations (though he does provide these), it’s a complete step by step process that walks you through how to utilize the grinding locations and gold making methods to the best possible consequences.

Many times, a gold guide just tosses ideas at you and expects you to figure them out for yourself. They give you a zone and a mob and say “kill this”. Brad, starts with the big picture and slowly narrows in on what you need to know about gold making in the game.

One of my favorite parts of this program though is his Auction House guide. This is by far one of the best Auction House descriptions I have yet read. He deftly weaves descriptions of real world economic concepts into how the game operates and how you can actually play the Auction House like the stock market for exponentially increasing returns. The rest of the guide program provides you with plenty of information about what items you should be looking for and how much money you can expect to make.

With the right approach to the Auction House, you can be sure that you will start making gold just like Brad. While I would have liked to see a bit more intense focus on Outland and a few more grinding locations that don’t require a flying mount, I cannot fault Brad for this one minor issue – the rest of the guide is so well situated (and illustrated) that I can fully believe that he was able to reach his gold level without spending a dime of his own real world money.
