Extreme Leveling

A Review of the Newest Leveling System on the Market

A few weeks back I heard about yet another new leveling guide that was about to hit the market – Extreme Leveling. I remember wondering then if we had not gone well beyond the threshold of good leveling guides and into excess. I had a talk with Shawn Woods, the guide’s creator before it came out back then and he told me a bit about what to expect from the guide and I must admit, my misgivings started to fade. I was intrigued by his new plans and excited to see if they worked or not. The first results are in and I have to say, I take back my original worries about another leveling guide out there – I think this is the guide we’ll be using to measure the rest from here on out.

The Meat of the Guide

The Guide itself is a multi-part system with leveling strategies for both Horde and Alliance characters and a complete in-game leveling mod that allows you to continue leveling without leaving the game. Additionally, you are given detailed maps with illustrations of where to go and when and a full walk through with details on every step of the process.

The real draw of this guide though is in the actual walkthrough, as unique and original a walkthrough as I’ve seen since the first guides hit the market. This is the real deal because it throws out the other guide methods and puts together a new method that is 100% unique and best of all effective. My first run through with it yielded a time of less than 8 days. I bet I can do faster next time.

The Bottom Line

There are no negatives to Extreme Leveling. In the past, I’ve tried out guides that were effective but poorly written or just plain lacking in extra content. This guide has it all – clear instructions, decent writing, a stable of nice additional content, and one of the most effective walkthroughs I’ve ever used. I think we’ll be seeing a lot more from Extreme Leveling in the days to come and that wouldn’t be such a bad thing at all.

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.
