Spectral Loot Cards and stuff

A lot of you recently, have purchased cards from world of Warcraft the trading game off of the website. One person even purchased a spectral tiger loot card. I am glad that you are finding this website to be of some use this was something that was to started as a hobby on the side but as I am knee-deep in work with residency is becoming harder and harder to find quality posts to place on the site I appreciate those of you who have found original authors that I can credit some of the posts that I have found world of Warcraft forums, buried under incessant posts by 10-year olds claiming to be the Uber.

Wrath of the Lich king, is coming out in a couple months. In preparation I hope to have a new and improved review of Brian Kopp leveling guide available to those who are still on the fence about purchasing the guide I am confident that the easiest way to level up in the new expansion will be to do the numerous amount of quests available in the game. However there’ll always be some individuals who choose to grind up levels and that is okay provided they have the time and the energy to do so.

By popular request I’ve added a new section to the Warcraft store that details collectors editions so that they can easily be found amid the numerous gold and botting guides on eBay. I am happy that you all have found it useful thus far.

The new world of Warcraft expansion that is coming out in a couple months will be sure to sell millions of copies.

WarcraftDoctor Store is Open!

You can now search the best hidden ebay deals for world of warcraft goodies without all of the Bullcrap like “Leveling Guides” and “Gold Guides”. Click on the store link or better yet, choose a category from the sidebar to get started. Here’s wishing you luck in finding those elusive spectral tiger pets or Blizzcon poker chips!

Protection Spec Paladin Leveling Guide

This was a guide that disappeared a long time ago. It was originally written by a paladin named Iloveari on Muradin I believe. Anyway, I know you want the goods, here ya go!

Bored of activating seal of command then surfing the web for 25 seconds? Want something a little more exciting and interactive? Want to solo quests like http://www.thottbot.com/?qu=348 easily at level 40? Try Pally AoE!

Strengths:
-Able to easily solo 4 mobs 2 levels above you, 5-6 equal level or lower, and end fights with nearly full mana and health.
-Very tough in PvP, especially against rogues, fury warriors, feral druids, and enhancement shaman.
-Tanking ability for instance runs.

Weaknesses:
-Fairly slow DPS against a single mob.
-Casters avoid your mitigation and therefore will toast you.
-Ranged are difficult to manage because you can only use SoL to heal if they are close enough to hit.

Let me first say that this guide is a work in progress. As you can see, I am fairly low level still on this toon. Nonetheless, with TBC looming on the horizon and a million pallies about to be created, I thought I’d share my leveling technique with everyone.

Pally AoE? People will surely think the concept is a joke at first. I assure you it is not. I myself have a 60 mage and leveled during the glory days of DM East lasher AoEing, and also the money grinding of the first pull in Strath. I did AoE grind leveling leveling as a mage but this is a whole new ballgame.

The basic idea is to have as much reflection damage and damage mitigation as possible and to fight (preferably) melee oriented mobs. The best possible are dual wielders, but anything that doesn’t stun and cast a lot of diseases (cleanse drains mana fairly fast) will work just fine. After some practice you will be able to handle a couple ranged mobs or a caster or two mixed in but they complicate things enormously.

The current implementation of reckoning is what truly makes this tactic come alive. At 5 points, this talent gives you a 10% chance everytime you take damage to proc a buff that gives you 8 seconds where every time you swing you get an extra attack. Fairly yawn in a fight against one mob…but what if there are 5 mobs?

The build: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/paladin/talents.html?000000000000000000000530513300000150000000000000000000000000000
This is what I consider to be the absolute bare minimum. You can cheese it a level or two ahead of time but this is where it becomes most efficient.

The gear:
You don’t need super duper awesome gear for this. Mostly whatever you’d normally have would be fine. However, there are two essential things: As good a 1 handed weapon as you can find and a shield with a shield spike. The shield spike is very important. After that, if you can find damage reflection things that’s great, otherwise don’t stress. See bottom for more.

The buffs:
Retribution Aura(RA): Reflects damage every time you are hit.
Blessing of Sanctuary(BoS): This not only reduces damage taken by 14/19/24/80, but also deals 21/28/35/46 damage every time you block. Coupled with our shield spike (20-30 if you buy thorium), you’re returning 40-76 damage every time you block.
Righteous Fury(RF): With our improved talent, this reduces incoming damage by 6%.
Seal of Light(SoL): Chance to heal yourself every time you swing. The bread and butter of Pally AoE.

The strategy:
I am going to assume you are level 35 at this point, so you are in my favorite murloc camp (more on this later). Body pull about 3 or 4 of them and activate SoL. Notice that with several mobs hitting you, reckoning stays up a lot of the time. Thus, you’re getting two chances per swing to heal. If you’re taking extra damage this fight don’t be afraid to judge SoL and then reactivate. With reckoning up thats a potential 4 heals in one swing! Use consecrate once or maybe twice, but I tend to not use it a lot because if you do this correctly you should end the fight with nearly full health and mana, ready to do the next. That is what makes this tactic so efficient, if played carefully there is zero downtime between fights.

As you get higher, you will get Holy Shield. I use this quite a bit, but I normally wait for redoubt to proc first. Nothing irks me more than wasted holy shield charges. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking this spell is entirely for damage. Don’t forget that for those 4 charges you have an extra 30% chance to block, and every block means less damage you take. It is as much mitigation as it is damage. A nice suggestion from Cathela was to use rank 1 Holy Shield even after you gain higher ranks later because it still provides the migitation and also the proc damage from BoS and shield spike, while being a little more mana friendly.

Oh no! Something went wrong! I have adds, SoL didn’t proc, reckoning didn’t proc, there are casters/ranged, etc etc etc. Things do go wrong. However, DO NOT PANIC. Most likely you will be fine, you forgot you are a paladin! Wait till you get down to about 10% health and then bubble and heal! If they bring you down again, LoH and keep going! I have pulled off some crazy fights that I thought were completely lost just by sticking it out.

Belenus adds: If you find yourself higher level and have a lot of +spell damage, consider using Seal of Wisdom/Judgement of Wisdom or some combination of SoL and SoW (i.e. judge SoL then use SoW), that way you can use consecrate more without sacrificing all your mana. If you have enough spell damage doing more DPS might be worth the occasional drinking.

Also on the subject of spelldamage, Drauglin adds: Since consecrate receives such a huge coefficent from +spell damage gear, using a low rank consecrate (which will receive the full bonus just like the high would) with high +damage is an extremely mana efficient method of damage.

Misc. Tips:
-Make sure SoL is up at ALL times.
-Make sure you are swinging. If the one you are targeting is running away, swing at another one till it comes back or you are in range.
-Don’t forget to judge SoL often, especially when it has <5 sec left.
-Don’t spam consecrate. You want to have high mana at the end of the fight. However, don’t forget that it is there…it can be great damage when you’re fighting 6 things at once.
-Don’t give up. Carry potions just in case, I find mana potions to be more effective.
-Be aware of the situation. Is this mob going to flee at 15%? Can it draw enough adds to kill me?
-Remember, every mob fighting you multiplies your DPS. If you have to fight one thing, look around and see if there are any other mobs you can drag your target over to just so they are hitting you. You’ll find this greatly increases your efficiency.
-Up against a caster? Don’t forget Hammer of Justice to stop the cast! If you are against a healer be sure to save your HoJ for when they heal.

Here is a video I threw together in about 20 minutes in badlands, its about 10 minutes of fights. It’s not anything awesome, all I’m trying to show you is the build’s effectiveness.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-141001081674108358&hl=en

A little commentary on the video:
I am level 42 in this video.
-First, 4 dual wielding ogres, all level 41. Notice I burn a lot of mana in the first fight. I just wanted to display the DPS power of the build in that first fight.
-The second fight is against 4 level 43-44 elementals, much more normal and is a very typical example of what you’ll be doing. Notice my HP and Mana at the end.
-The third fight more of the same elementals. I included this to show how even a bad pull and very few seal of light procs don’t really hurt you that badly. Even though I lose a lot more life in this fight than the others, I encounter little to no downtime because of it. Notice how I can drag them over and pick up another in the middle of the fight and that doesn’t hurt either, something you’ll never see a mage do.
-The fourth fight was just to show how tough this build really is. It’s basically me taking on 6 mobs (Boss Thog’run and crew) including 2 ranged, 2 melee, and 2 casters all level 41ish and I don’t even need to blow a cooldown.
-Notice in the last fight I encounter the bane of Pally AoE: The hero factor. Everytime someone sees a paladin fighting a bunch of mobs they immediately run over to try to save me for some reason. You have to ask them not to or they’ll try to pull mobs off you.
KEY POINT:
- In every fight notice how I make sure ALL the mobs are in front of me whenever possible. This is because you cannot block (or parry?) when the attacker is behind you.
- Notice in fight 3 when I go to get the last elemental, I hit each of them first to make sure they don’t leash like the first one did. Consecration does NOT stop them from reaching the leash point.

Another video submitted by Novara, this video shows my absolute favorite place, the Duskwallow Murlocs:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5182362007611609317

—
This new video is myself as a level 35 pally taking on 16 murlocs 4-6 at a time in one continuous fight.
NOTE: This video is not an example of the real grinding technique, this just shows how tough you can be. It’s just for entertainment purposes. For normal grinding you only want to kill 3-4 at a time (or whatever you find your personal threshold to be that allows you to finish with full mana/health).

About my gear in this vid:
I’m using mostly crappy greens I’ve picked up along the way. The only two items that matter are:
My shield is Vile Protector, from http://www.thottbot.com/?qu=1049 which is the easiest decent shield before the SM shield at 39. It has a Iron shield spike.
My weapon is Sword of Omen, from http://www.thottbot.com/?qu=1048 which is accessible at 33 for horde

Leveling up a Paladin - 1 to 70 - Retribution/Protection Spec

There was once a great article on the World of Warcraft forums about leveling a paladin the fastest way possible. Anyway, I was able to dig it up on an outdated thread. I do not know who the original contributer was but whoever they are, thank you from the bottom of our little paladin hearts!

This is a guide to help new paladins level up fast and efficiently.

Leveling 1-10 is very easy, especially with the 2.3 changes, simply keep up Blessing of Might and judge Seal of Righteousness whenever judgement is not on cooldown, I do not reccomend judging Seal of the Crusader. Once you hit 10 you are able to spend talent points into three different trees, Holy, Protection and Retribution. At lower levels Retribution is easily the best Talent choice for leveling. The stats you want for Retribution are Hit rating, Strength, Crit rating, Agility, intel and spell damage in that order, though at lower levels hit rating is less needed and is hard to come by anyway, at higher levels when hit rating is easier to get you only want 5% hit at most, any more than that and you would be better off getting strength or some other dps stats. Here are the talents (in order) you should get for Retribution levels 1-40. Keep in mind every 2 levels new spells will be available for you to learn from your class trainer, which can be found at every major city and some towns, it’s every 1 level 61-70.

level:
10-14 - 5/5 Improved Blessing of Might
15-16 - 2/2 improved judgement
17-19 - 3/5 Benediction (The reason you shouldn’t get this levels 10-14 is because mana regenerates pretty fast at lower levels so it’s not really needed)
20 - 1/1 Seal of command
21-23 - 3/3 Pursuit of Justice (The extra 15% running speed and mount speed will make a huge difference in your leveling speed)
24-28 - 5/5Conviction
29-30 - 5/5 Benediction (At higher levels more mana efficieny doesn’t hurt)
31-33 - 3/3 Two-handed weapon specialization
34 - 1/1 Sanctity aura
35-39 - 5/5 Vengeance
40 - 1/1 Repentance
While leveling 1-40 use ret aura(until Sanctity Aura) with Blessing of Might and Seal of Righteousness(until Seal of Command), judge every time for max dmg, if you are in need of more mana efficiency, then only judge while the target is stunned.

Among a few new spells at level 40 will be a warhorse mount for only 1g! Most classes have to pay a riding instructor for a mount which costs 90g for training and 9g for the mount itself. You will also gain the ability to equip plate. Before you respec to Protection you’re going to want a shield and a one hand weapon, try and get something with stam/intel/agility or if you can find one (im not sure if they have that kind of itemization with the new 2.3 lowbie gear) get a shield and 1h with stam/block/parry/dodge/defense/spell dmg. If you can afford it buy some plate with the stats listed above, although it’s not needed right away, you might want to save your money and look for plate from quest rewards and dungeon drops. But you must have a shield and 1h before you respec, if you can afford it I reccomend getting a blacksmith to attach mithril spikes to your shield.

Most of the time while grinding as Protection you should be rounding up mobs 4-6 at a time and use ret aura, righteous fury, blessing of sanctuary, judgement of light and seal of light, while using holy shield and consecration(if you can spare the mana)whenever its up. Reckoning and Redoubt procs will make the most out of seal of light, Holy Shield and Blessing of Sanctuary. Try and avoid casters, and if you come across one do not attempt to AOE grinding them. Keep a 2h for when you’re up against 1 mob at a time and use Seal of Righteousness instead of Seal of Light. Prot AOE grinding isn’t as great in outlands as it is in azeroth in my opinion, so i would respec to Retribution at lvl 58, or go holy and heal in instances for the majority of your experience, Protection is still viable to level with in outlands if you’d like, but i personally prefered Retribution at this point.

Heres the talents you should get when you respec at lvl 40 and the talent points you should spent 41-58

5/5 redoubt
5/5 toughness
1/1 blessing of kings
3/3 improved righteous fury
3/3 shield specialization
3/3 precision
1/1 blessing of sanctuary
5/5 reckoning
2/2 sacred duty
2/5 one handed weapon specialization
1/1 holy shield
Levels:
41-42 - 2/2 improved holy shield
43-47 - 5/5 ardent defender
48-49 - 2/5 combat expertise
50 - 1/1 avenger’s shield
51-53 - 5/5 combat expertise
54-58 - 5/5 benediction (Retribution tree)

At this point you should respec back to Retribution. But this time you shouldn’t have to get new gear, for one you should have a 2h if you took my advice about when you come up against a single mob and for body armor you should be able to get plenty from quest rewards in outlands. After respeccing you should head to blasted lands and go through the dark portal, which will bring you to Outlands.

Here is the spec you should go for Retribution from level 58-70 -

5/5 Improved Blessing of Might
5/5 Benediction
2/2 Improved Judgement
5/5 Conviction
1/1 Seal of Command
3/3 Pursuit of Justice
3/3 Crusade
3/3 Two-Handed Weapon Specialization
1/1 Sanctity Aura
5/5 Vengeance
1/3 Sanctified judgement
3/3 Sanctified Seals
1/1 Repentance
5/5 Fanaticism
1/1 Crusader strike
5/5 Divine strength(holy tree)
Levels:
59-60 - 3/3 sanctified judgement
61-62 - 2/2 improved sanctity aura
63-67 - 5/5 Redoubt(It’s nice for offtanking but the real reason this is included is for the precision talent in Protection which is very useful, especially for the spell hit which is impossible to get on ret gear)
68-70 - 3/3 Precision(Protection tree)

Richie’s Newbie Guide to Gold Making in World of Warcraft

So you have just bought a shiny copy of World of Warcraft and installed it. You have picked a server and created a character. Now you are questing and killing stuff in the newbie area and making some silver by selling everything to the vendors right? Stop right there! You can do better! These handful of tips work for any class you play.

Getting the Right Professions From the Start

Your first step is to get level 5 on your character by doing the quests in your newbie area. After that, head to the nearest big city in your area and pick up 2 out of the following 3 professions: Mining, Skinning, or Herbalism. Which ones do you pick? If you are using a Brian Kopp’s Questing guide, Zygor’s Leveling Guide or any other guide that involves heavy questing, I suggest taking Mining and Herbalism. If you are the type of player that will be doing straight grinding (killing enemies all the time) then I suggest Mining and Skinning. The reason for the switch is that skinning is great if you are killing lots of animals for experience but herbalism is faster for doing quests. As it stands now, it is much faster to level using a quest guide than it is to straight grind up levels.

With mining and herbalism, you can use the track ore and Track herbs button to see the mining nodes or herbalism nodes on your mini map. While you are out questing and killing, harvest as many of these nodes as possible. Regular copper ore sells very well on the auctionhouse in stacks of 20, usually around 1.5 gold a stack. The herbs don’t sell quite as well on the auctionhouse but as you get up in levels, you’ll harvest herbs that are more useful and will sell better. It is not uncommon for a 20 stack of Terocone or Mountain Silversage to go for 25 gold on the auctionhouse. With skinning, you’ll find that a stack of 20 light leather will go for about 50 silver. As you move up to medium leather and such, the price will go up to 1.5 gold a stack on average. Keep in mind though that it takes an extra 3 seconds to skin every animal you kill…which adds up when you are slaying tons of enemies over 70 levels. If you kill 200 animals a level till 70, you’ll spend an extra 10 hours just skinning them. Still it is more efficient if you are just grinding mobs to level.

Items that are Worth Money, but Every Newbie Vendors

Here are a list of items you should be selling on the auctionhouse instead of selling to vendors.

• Linen Cloth (Sells for 30-50 silver a stack)
• Wool Cloth (Sells for 40-70 silver a stack)
• Silk Cloth (Sells for 70-150 silver a stack)
• Green Weapons and armor you cannot use (Sells for 30 silver-3 gold per item)
• Blue Weapons and Armor That are “Bind on Equip” (Sells for a minimum of 10 gold each)
• Small Eggs (30 silver - 50 silver a stack)
• Any type of animal meat you loot (Sells to cooks and hunters at 30 silver to 4 gold a stack
• Copper Ore (sells for 1-2 gold a stack)
• Rough Stone (sells for 20 silver to 1 gold a stack)

I just started a friend on World of Warcraft and following my tips, he had well over 55 gold at level 18. Considering you need 60 gold at level 40 for your mount, he is very much ahead of the game in terms of making money. Plus it is nice to have gold for training your skills and keeping your toon geared correctly for his level.

So there are some brief tips on making money in game. Nothing fancy but I will be willing to bet, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you find out that following the advice above makes you wealthy as a newbie.

Grinding Straight to Level 60 in World of Warcraft

Before I was using various leveling guides, I used to do a combination of questing and grinding to level in World of Warcraft. Questing is ALWAYS faster than grinding but for some who are still in that Everquest “Gotta Grind to 60” mindset, here is some information I’ve had for a long time. Keep in mind this is way before the 2.3 patch. We are talking even pre-burning crusade. Still you could probably make more gold straight grinding from random blue and purple drops. I hope this information is useful. I do not know where most of this information originated but hopefully it will be useful to you. If all else fails, you could always try one of the three guides below to level much faster:

Brian Kopp’s Alliance leveling guide for World of Warcraft
Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide for World of Warcraft

Buying a Second WoW Account Without Going to the Store.

Yep, we’ve all been there. It’s Wednesday evening and it is raining outside. You are sitting in your PJs at your computer and just want to buy a second account for World of Warcraft (or another MMO you are playing). Well, contrary to popular belief, you do not have to go run out to Wal-Mart (in the pouring rain) and buy a boxed copy! You can digitally download World of Warcraft on your second PC and just register a new account. All you need is an account key from the box.

But who on earth is just going to sell me an account key for a game? Luckily for you my friend, there are companies who specialize in just that. They will open the box and E-mail you the account key within a handful of minutes (sometimes even seconds). All you need is a credit card, debit card or heck, even a Paypal account.

The best company I have dealt with so far has been a website called Shattered Crystal. What impressed me the most about them was the delivery time. In the past, I’ve bought an account key off of ebay (using Buy-it-now) and it took well over 24 hours to receive the key. ShatteredCrystal.com delivered my World of Warcraft account key faster than I could log into my own school e-mail account! Pretty snazzy eh? They also cater players of other MMOs as well. Here is a complete list of games they offer account keys for:

• World of Warcraft (well duh!)
• Vanguard
• Everquest
• Everquest II
• Lord of the Rings Online
• Eve Online
• Final Fantasy XI
• Lineage II
• Pirates of the Burning Sea
• Star Wars Galaxy
• Warhammer Online

I am leaving a few out but those are the ones off the top of my head. Personally I have ordered WoW keys (burning crusade and regular WoW) and a LOTRO key from them with no problems whatsoever. Prices are the same as picking them up in the store.

Now, that you have gone to Shattered Crystal and snagged yourself an account key, you might need to download the game again. Luckily for you I have both links for the World of Warcraft client and the Burning Crusade Client. It’s about a 6 GB download, which took about 7 hours to download on my colleague’s laptop:

World of Warcraft Client Download (get this first)

Burning Crusade Client Download (After installing the base game from the link above)

*Please note: You need an account first before downloading the client files. Head to www.worldofwarcraft.com to register your account key(s) if you haven’t already.

Happy Gaming my friends,

Richie

Brian Kopp’s Alliance Leveling Guide Review - World of Warcraft

Hail and well met friend! If you are a long time music fan, no introduction is needed. However, if you are new to World of Warcraft or just randomly surfed in from Google, my name is Richie Truxillo and I am finishing up my last year in medical school. I have been playing games since the age of 5 (I’m 28 now) and consider myself a well-accomplished casual gamer not a professional-level, gamer. I’m not that guy that raids Kara 24/7 or spends countless hours trying to be the world’s best PvPer.

About 6 months ago I purchased Brian Kopp’s Alliance leveling guide for World of Warcraft. After browsing through all of the horribly bogus reviews on the internet, I figured I would write my own review to inform you all of how the guide really works. For those of you who are not inclined to read a boatload of text, the short version is: Yes, it is good! For the smart WoW consumers out there, read on to get the real scoop in its entirety. Keep in mind this is for Alliance players only. If you need a Horde Leveling guide, read this review first and apply the concepts to Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide. Her guide is just as good but with the added bonus of a video guide.

Why did *I* buy Brian Kopp’s guide

Well to level fast! DUH! Actually, at the time, my long time guild mates shot up to level 70 over a month’s time while I was stuck studying for my step II board exams. I wanted to be able to play with them again but I was stuck at level 61 at the time. So, really, I bought the guide just to level my paladin from 61-70. Instead, after purchasing the guide, I rerolled a hunter from scratch and took him from level 1 to 70 in 14.5 days /played with the guide. It would have taken me less time but I spent a bit of time AFK, playing on the AH and PvPing a bit at level 19. I also grouped a couple times for instances with some of my guildmates.

Purchasing the Guide

I bought my guide at the time for $35 from http://www.briankopp.com. Upon submitting my payment information, I was given a simple login and password. It gives you a link to a file named burningcrusade.zip. I scanned the file for viruses and keyloggers, it was clean. Inside of the zip file are 4 PDF files: A guide from Levels 1-60, a Level 60-70 guide, a guide to all the race starting areas (Levels 1-20) and instructions to install an awesome quest location map Addon.

First Impressions

The PDFs are massive and in full color (when pictures are inserted). Each PDF is indexed well with Tabs so you can easily go straight to a particular level range and zone. There is also an introductory area with links to other guides (with Brian’s Affiliate links included of course) and Interface Mods. Following that is a tips section which is a must read. One of the things he suggests in his guide is to make an alt character that is parked by the mailbox in your home city for the purpose of mailing and selling items to. I scoffed at this thought at first but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He also suggests binding at innkeepers along the way instead of your home town. I, again, scoffed at this idea but it saves SO much time, particularly in your first 40 levels when you do not have a mount and have to run everywhere on foot.

Printing the Guide Out

I strongly suggest you get this guide printed out and put in a binder. Of course, being the savvy medical student I am, I went into the hospital on night shift and printed out this 203 page behemoth on the laser printer. I hole-punched it into a binder I purchased from Wal-mart. GREAT! Why should you do this? Well, if you don’t you will be alt-tabbing back and forth between the game and the guide every 2 minutes. Plus you can make quick notes on the paper if you need to.

And now, the Guide…It’s all About Questing

The guide focuses on one thing, leading you from quest location to quest location. This may not sound like much to you but World of Warcraft is massive and has hundreds if not, thousands of quests. A common practice by most new players is to do every quest in a given zone before moving onto the next one. This is a concept that was started in games like Everquest where enemies were a certain level range in a given zone. World of Warcraft has multiple “zones” for a given level range. For example, Elwynn Forest and Dun Morough are both for characters in their level 1-15 ages. However you could theoretically do quests in both zones. Since quests pay out more items and gold than straight grinding through enemies, it makes sense to level using quests. An added bonus is being able to see content you may miss otherwise.

Another great thing about the guide is that doing quests raises your reputation levels with the various factions. If you are not familiar with World of Warcraft yet, then I should tell you that many of the items and quests in the end-game (read: level 70) require high amounts of reputation points. By following Brian Kopp’s Leveling Guide, I found my hunter had very little reputation grinding to do when it came to buying my level 60 epic mount. Why is that? Simply put, quests give you alot more reputation points with factions than just killing mobs.

Before leveling with the guide, you should install the map modification that comes with it. It uses Metamap to not only reveal every map in the game, but also put down every important quest location! Throughout the guide, he references these map points (called “Locs”) which correspond to X,Y coordinates on the map. If it sounds difficult and new to you, I assure you, it is not. When you mouse over a point of interest on your in-game map, the location number that corresponds with the loc in the guide pops up. It is a very elegant and user-friendly implementation. You can tell someone put ALOT of time into placing those points into the map mod.

Brian Kopp’s Guide provides a very logical path from quest to quest. He has you gather multiple quests at once and tackle them in a manner that is logical. For instance, in one portion of the guide, you will grab 6 quests at once in Darkshore. The guide will instruct you in such a manner that you complete the quests with the shortest route in mind. At the end of the 6 quests, you will turn them all in at once and grab another batch. The quests are also always level appropriate. I know this sounds easy but how he manages to do this over multiple zones is fluid and intuitive. I’ve had other guides that tell you to “Grind from levels 23-25 in this zone” but there is really no grinding in this guide at all.

The leveling guide keeps you informed by telling you when you should be a certain level. I guarantee you that if you have taken a night off from play at least twice, the rested experience you receive will ALWAYS keep you well ahead of the guide in terms of leveling. As such you never really have to worry about a quest being too high of a level for you, or running out quests to do for a particular level. With the leveling changes from levels 20-60 in the recent World of Warcraft 2.3 patch, all grinding has been taken out of the guide.

Where the guide truly shines is in the level 58-70 range. This is the portion of the guide where you will spend your game time doing quests in the Outlands (Burning Crusade expansion). Even with the increased leveling treadmill of the last ten levels, I found myself going from level 58-70 in just over 5 days /played.

Gold, Gold, Gold…but not what you think!

Let me get this out of the way right now. This is NOT a gold farming guide. However, I found that by following Brian’s Kopp’s Leveling Guide, I was able to afford all blue and purple ranged weapons for my hunter every 5 or 10 levels. The quest rewards are great and the professions that he encourages you to take really pay off big when it comes to selling in the Auction House. At level 40 I had well over 700 gold and at Level 60 I had both enough Darnassus reputation to buy a discounted epic cat mount and to buy a nice gun with 525 gold left over. The Burning Crusade quests mentioned in the guide kept me very well geared and allowed me to finish at level 70 with a whopping 2100 gold after selling my blue and purple drops on the AH. Enough to buy myself my riding skill and my first flying mount. My new warlock, Richus(Level 31), has just over a day /played and is very well geared for his level.

Those hard to see quests

There are a handful of collection quests that have some hard-to-see collectable quest items in the game world. The Outlands is especially guilty of having these collection quests. Brian Kopp’s guide has color photos of the hard-to-see quest items..which comes in handy when looking for items in the dirt. There was one quest in particular where I had to sprinkle holy water on some elven skeletons. I had skipped the quest on my paladin because, well, I couldn’t find em. Come to find out, using the guide, they were just on the sides of the main road but they were VERY VERY small. I had passed right over them many times before. It took me 45 seconds to finish the quest after I found em and I got 10,300 xp for it.

I also guarantee you, even if you have leveled to 70 on your own before, you will find quests in this guide that you have never done. I was shocked to see that wetlands and Ferelas actually had tons of quests in the guide. I was just looking in the wrong place before.

For Hunters only?

Brian Kopp’s guide has caught some criticism for being a hunter oriented guide. Let’s face it, the hunter is just an easy class to play. Although, I will admit having a pet really helped out in about 5 or 6 of the quests. However, you could easily skip those quests in the guide and continue as planned. Specializing your class correctly for leveling will help you immensely when battling it out through the quests. There are some good talent builds on the World of Warcraft forums. Thus far, I have had no problems with a Mage, Druid, Paladin and Warlock when specc’ed properly…all which are mid 30s.

Brian Kopp’s Website and Legality

If you are reading this review and have been to his website, the marketing may have deterred you from clicking the Buy button. Unfortunately, his website looks like one of the many affiliate spammer/infomercial websites you’d see trying to sell you crap. Just don’t read all the fluff…scroll down and click on Order Now. The claims are true. The Leveling guide is 100% legal and you will not get banned for using it. You are completely playing the game as intended while maximizing your time spent doing so.

My Final Thoughts

I was initially skeptical about the guide but after purchasing it 6 months ago, I still feel happy with my purchase. As he says in the website, Brian Kopp sends you updated versions of the guide about once a month. He was also very quick with updating the guide for the 2.3 patch, which tells me he plays on the test server before patches go live to the public. He has put alot of work into the guide and it is definitely worth the 35 bucks. It is way better than any official strategy guide you could buy. I hope this review has been somewhat helpful to you.

Welcome to WarcraftDoctor.com!

Hail and well met friend! I assume you are playing the greatest MMO ever made, World of Warcraft! For those just stepping into WoW, I know it can be a daunting experience learning about the game. Luckily, I have decided to make a site dedicated to learning the ropes and reviewing products based on WoW.

As an brief introduction, I am about to graduate from medical school and start my residency. I have been playing World of Warcraft since beta and have multiple characters on both PVP and PVE servers. My interest is playing online with my RL friends and guildmates. I also write some silly songs about MMORPGs in my spare time just for fun.

Have a gander at the articles here on the site, you might find some useful information to help you level or make some gold in game.

Best wishes and happy gaming. See you in Azeroth!
