Jame vs Joana: Which is the better Horde Leveling Guide?

As I've said before, I'm partial to Joana's Horde Leveling Guide for many reasons. Joana's guide goes through the beginning levels of each class including missions and class specific tips. I know a lot of veteran WoW players still rely on Jame's Horde Leveling Guide for information. Before I found Joana's guide, I used Jame's Horde Guide frequently. The fact that Jame's Horde Leveling Guide is divided into 4 different links did make going through it a little cumbersome. Jame's guide also starts at level 21 for the Horde. In other words, you have to find your way through the first 20 levels of WoW either on your own or using another guide. Since most people like to get things right the first time, myself included, this lead to some frustration. Having to hunt down another guide to get through the beginning levels and the Barrens was a pain.

Having said all that, I think Jame's Horde Leveling Guide is a good resource to use when starting out in World of Warcraft. It's got good information on the quests and which ones to accept. The big drawback is with the beginning levels. Say you've played a Troll to level 70 and now you want to try an Undead character. Do you want to good looking for an Undead Leveling Guide to get through the first 20 levels or so? It was looking for a similar guide that led me to Joana's Horde Leveling Guide. I was more than willing to have a resource at my fingertips that goes through the opening levels with each race. Instead of wasting time wondering if I should accept a quest or not, I could check Joana's guide (or print off a few pages at a time) and know exactly what I should be doing and where I should be going. I save A LOT of time in the early levels compared to my first character.

Granted, Joana's guide is a little more expensive that Jame's (it's free), but the time saved and the additional class based information included makes a worthwhile purchase. Everybody I know that has picked up the guide has been pleased with it and experienced a large increase in their WoW power leveling speed. Joana's guide is the best, most complete Horde Leveling Guide available. Any horde player looking to improve their WoW leveling speed should check it out.

World of Warcraft Hunter Leveling Tips

Since Hunters in World of Warcraft are one of the more popular classes (people love those pets), I thought I'd provide a few tips for improving Hunter leveling in WoW.

1 - Bandages can be more efficient for healing a pet than using Mend Pet. It saves on mana and if the bandage is good, can actually heal more HPs.

2 - If you take a break to heal or regain mana, have your pet attack something nearby. This way, you are gaining XP during your down time.

3 - Having a macro setup to feed your pet can make your life easier in the long run.

4 - A frost trap can making taming a pet easier since it won't be fighting back while you are trying to tame it.


These tips should make playing a Hunter in World of Warcraft easier and more enjoyable. Joanas Horde Leveling Guide is packed with lots of tips for hunters, including information on hunter pets. Another good guide is Killer Guides Hunter Guide. This guide is specifically designed for the Hunter class. It has the best Hunter pet guide that I've seen. It also has a good section on different Hunter builds in case you want to make your Hunter a little different from others.

Killer Guides also has a huge World of Warcraft Guide Bundle for $80. A little much for my taste, but it comes with 16 guides that would cost $388 if you bought them separately. Saving $300 is always a good thing and it does have lifetime access to all of the World of Warcraft guides that come out in the future. Not a bad deal, if you can afford it. It's doubtful you would need any other guides if you picked up this package.
