We’re just a few days out of the launch of Zygor’s Guides for World of Warcraft and so far the launch has gone off successfully. One of the hallmarks of WoW Classic is that it’s a more challenging version of the game, but it’s game design not only alters how you play but also how our guides work. With so many players returning to the game or trying it out for the first time we thought we’d go over some important info and reminders to help you out in your time using our guides.<\/p>\n

General:<\/h2>\n

For players new to the Vanilla\/Classic experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questing in WoW Classic is not as linear or as straightforward as Retail. You don’t just go to a zone, do all the quests there, then move to the next zone. There’s no level scaling. Quests have set level ranges within each zone, and sometimes there are big gaps between them. This means options for where you can go are limited, as many quests and enemies in other areas will be too high for you.<\/p>\n

For players on PVP servers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our guides were designed for solo PVE leveling with a focus on questing over grinding. As such, we didn’t make accommodations to avoid contested zones, and in fact, it’s not even possible to fully avoid these zones when leveling by questing. If you don’t want to deal with this we suggest not playing on a PVP server, otherwise, it just comes with the territory.<\/p>\n

On playing during launch week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Launch week of Wow Classic is going to be busier than normal. As such there may be wait times to complete certain quests. No, we did not write the guides to avoid every quest that might have a wait time. Things will mellow out over time and this won’t even be a factor for long.<\/p>\n

On “speed running” vs “power leveling”:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your goal in WoW Classic is simply to reach level 60 in the fastest time possible you\u2019ll need to play only as certain classes (ones with a pet), avoid looting any non-quest essential items, die on purpose (taking a repair hit), avoid professions (leaving you without gold for spells\/mounts), take on difficult if not impossible orange quests\/mobs, and grind way more because sometimes that\u2019s faster than questing. In other words, a “speed running” guide would not necessarily match up with a fun and enjoyable experience that works for everyone. We aimed to create guides that work for all classes, that prefer traveling to where there are more quests over staying put and grinding, and that assume you’ll want to work on professions while you play – all while still providing\u00a0a very fast and optimized path. We call this “power leveling”. Additionally, with the in-game factor (never having to alt tab, having an arrow point you exactly where to go, ect.), you should find that you’re leveling much faster with a guide than without.<\/p>\n

How to use the guides with characters that were partially leveled without a guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s important to get “in sync” with the guide to work properly. To get in sync, load the guide closest to your characters level and allow the Smart Injection System to skip through the steps until you find the first red incomplete quest related step (not a flight path or hearthstone step) you can do. Continue this process until you’re back in line with the guide again. This may mean doing lower level quests or having to travel around a bit, but once you get in sync things should be smooth sailing from that point on.<\/p>\n

Notes on doing other activities\u00a0outside of leveling:<\/b><\/p>\n

WoW Classic is much more rigid and doesn’t offer the level of freedom as Retail to go off and do miscellaneous activities, at least when using a Leveling guide.\u00a0This is mostly because quests are deeply chained together so that if you skip some quests at a prior point you won’t be able to pick up quests at a later point until you go back and do the earlier part of the chain.\u00a0 For this reason, you need to follow the guide step by step and if you decide to go off and run dungeons or do dungeon quests just know that you will get out of sync and may need to take the time to get back in sync again. See the info in the previous section on how to get “in sync”.<\/p>\n
