Gitr Knows WoW

You want proof that Joana’s guide works for other classes? Here’s your cookie. I played for exactly 3 hours since my log-off yesterday morning as 22% of level 9. Frostr is sitting at 14% of the way through level 13 with 5h 54m of /played time.

I died several times attempting Powering out Defenses and finally completed it 2-3 levels below what should be considered reasonable for a solo mage as a level 10. It took some real strategy and everything I had. First, I wanded the initial 3 to get them to come my way, and then I Frost Nova’d them in place and started to Fire Blast and wand them. By then, the next 3 had shown up, so I got their attention and started running around the rune.

I had to look up who was the quest-giver for my level 10 quest and made it work out with the other quests in the guide and finished it sometime around level 11. This morning, I completed every last quest in the starting area, Ruins of Silvermoon, and Eversong Woods and picked up all of the available quests in Tranquilien to start my Ghostlands adventures.

It was an epic drop in the Blood Elf starting area. I was sitting at an hour of play and had hit level 5 with this great drop of leveling supremacy fell. It has been a great 2 hours since then.

Last night, I wiped the [tag]Ruins of Silvermoon[/tag] area completely devoid of quests. I was level 7 before I left the Ruins. I went out and about questing some more and hit level 8 in 2h 11m of /played time with all of my UI issues the first day.

I logged off this morning a good chunk into level 9 in an inn with 2h 50m of /played time and hit Honored with Silvermoon City 2-3 quests ago. I REALLY, REALLY need a wand, but other than that, I’m golden.

I’ve heard from several of you that the guide (If you are horde, I promise you it is worth the investment…as I am a firm believer in not pumping something I have not tried myself. I paid the $37 for it and am loving it.) can be a bit difficult for non-hunters, but I will be testing it with both a hunter and a mage to compare. He does identify hunter-only quests, but I have not run into any that I can’t blast my way out of yet. I can’t wait for my lvl 10 skills. My stance on power-leveling is this: I have 2 60+ toons. I want to try other classes at 60+ without taking months to do it. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything by going fast. I know the principles of the classes by already having been a raider.

My biggest problem now is figuring out what I need to skip with Bloodr because I skipped huge chain quests early on that I can’t jump in on. I may need to play catch up so I can follow it easier. It may be worth it in the end.
