Zygor’s 1-80 Leveling Guide Review

Zygor’s 1-80 leveling guide is one of the original and longest standing World of Warcraft power leveling guides on the market today. This WoW leveling guide has stood the test of time, being one of the most widely used and recommended leveling guides since it was release. That said, I’m not here to heap the accolades on Zygor’s Guides just yet… so let’s get down to business.

…don’t like to read walls of text? Check out the Zygor’s 1-80 Leveling Guide Video Review below instead!

What is in Zygor’s leveling guide?

Well, as you might expect it’s a speed leveling guide, designed and maintained by John Cook, otherwise known by Zygor. Zygor’s leveling guide differs from most other leveling guides in that its delivery method is via in-game addon. When you purchase Zygor’s leveling guide you get access to his member’s only page, where you can download the guide (for both mac and PC), request support, and access Zygor’s other features and bonus products.

The guide plugs directly into your World of Warcraft client via your user interface. You install the guide just like you install an addon or U.I. mod…if you haven’t installed an addon or mod before it’s really simple, check out this short video tutorial here.

Once you have the guide downloaded and installed it comes up just like any frame would in your World of Warcraft user interface. There you can see the step by step process of the entire Zygor leveling guide.

How does the in-game guide work?

The in-game features are incredibly easy to customize and setup. The entire guide is 100% automated. It will literally point you to your next questing objective via a directional arrow and yardage marker. As soon as you log into the game the guide will bring up its automatic quest tracking user interface frames. Within this frame contains the entire Zygor step by step leveling process, which indicates which NPC you’re to talk to, mobs to kill, quests to pickup, complete, etc.

This step also contains an associated mini-map location coordinate, which is tied into the second automatic quest tracking element, directional arrow. This arrow quite literally points you to the next location you’re supposed to go to. It’s pretty much like having Zygor hold your hand the entire way, showing you the fastest possible leveling route.

Anything bad about the Guide?

There really wasn’t anything in the guide that just failed to deliver. The only major annoyance for me was I had to back track several steps. Since I didn’t start using Zygor’s guide until I was level 73 I had completed many of the steps out of order in addition to some quests that Zygor didn’t include at all. Obviously the automatic quest tracking isn’t perfect, that said it’s about as damn close as you’re going to get. It took me around 30 minutes to get back on track with the guide, and once I did it went perfectly.

Conclusions

I’ve read virtually every World of Warcraft guide on the market and in my opinion you just cannot beat Zygor’s 1-80 leveling guide. With Zygor’s guide you get the entire package, for a price that isn’t too bad either…

• Automatic Quest Tracking
• Free Updates for Life
• 24 Hour Technical Support
• Members only areas, including forums
• 4 Free Bonus Guides

Zuggy’s 1-80 Horde Speed Leveling Guide!

For a few weeks now I’ve mentioned the “big project” I’ve been working on, and I think the time has finally come to reveal that the big secret is…Zuggy’s 1-80 Horde Speed Leveling Guide!

This is my newest and largest project to date, I’ve spent months perfecting my leveling methodology and hundreds of mans hours in the creation of this guide.

What’s in Zuggy’s 1-80 Horde Speed Leveling Guide?

• Speed leveling routes for 1-80, including Northrend power leveling
• For horde players
• Step-by-step instruction for each zone
• Detailed and easy to understand maps and diagrams for easy learning
• Intricate quest explanation with tips for passing through difficult quests with ease

In the next few days I’ll be putting the final touches on the guide as well as preparing it to launch. The tentative release date set for November 14th, 2008 at 12:00 a.m. November 24 to 30, 2008.

Note: sorry for the delay, but quality and perfection always take priority in my guides and I simply cannot release a new guide in good faith that doesn’t over delivery in every way.

Don’t make the same mistake you did during the Burning Crusade and let all your friends beat you to max level…level to 80 in style with Zuggy’s 1-80 Horde Speed Leveling Guide! I’ll have more details on my newest guide in the coming days, as well as details on a huge special event Zug Gaming will be hosting for the launch of WotLK!

Note: My 1-80 alliance guide is in the initial stages of development, but don’t expect it out for some time. Sorry allies! =(
