New Horde Guide Comes With The Alliance Guide

During 2007, a couple of new leveling guides for World of Warcraft were released and when it comes to Alliance leveling they both do a good job of toppling the long-time top guide by Brian Kopp from its pedestal. One of them is from Team iDemise and the other is from Zygor. For this review, I’ll cover the Team iDemise 1-70 Alliance Guide, but be sure to keep an eye out for my Zygor review as well.

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.

Their new Alliance Leveling Guide offers step-by-step instructions on how to level up to 70 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 squests to skip completely. With their guidance you should easily trim days — or even months — off your played time to get to level 70, 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 Guide, and why I recommend you purchase it, even if you already have some other leveling guides, is that each member of the Team took a different Alliance class and leveled them up. Most of the other Alliance guides on the market give tips on how to level with different character classes, but their main guidance is reserved for the Hunter class. That’s great if you only ever want to play Hunters, but if you want to try another Alliance class, you’re kind of out of luck when it comes to speed runs.

By playing each of the Alliance classes, 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 Alliance Leveling Guides is that the Team iDemise Alliance Guide focuses 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 Brian Kopp’s guide is their customized map mod. 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 Kopp’s guide). All of the information you need is contained on your map with step-by-step instructions for what you need to do next.

In addition, I also prefer the pdf version of the Team iDemise Alliance guide to Brian Kopp’s guide just because it has a pleasing design. It is very easy to read and features illustrations throughout and conversational step-by-step instructions. It basically has a bit of personality, something I find missing from most guides which just offer a very dry “do this quest here, turn this quest in here” approach.
