Are you looking for a way to easily gain faction reputation in World of Warcraft?  Well look no further.  We have found a WoW guide that will let you impress your guildmates by being able to attain the latest gear enchants, purple items, and recipes very fast.

The guide covers all the factions from Wrath of the Lich King:

  • Argent Crusade
  • Ebon Blade
  • Sons of Hodir
  • Kirin Tor
  • Kaluak
  • Wyrmrest Accord
  • Oracles
  • Frenzyheart Tribe

The Guide also covers the factions in The Burning Crusade so if you stopped leveling at level 70, this guide will be useful for you.

Why do I even need rep?
We’ll tell you why!  Many high end recipes, designs, patterns and enchants are only available to you once you have achieved a certain reputation level with the faction who offers them.
The nice thing here is that you will not have to try and figure any of this out on your own, we will tell you what each faction offers and what rewards you can expect for your character at all different levels of reputation.  So, if you’re looking to get certain patterns for your tailor or armor enchants for your hunter, you will know EXACTLY which factions you need to build up reputation with.  No guesswork, no endless hours searching the internet, it is all right there in the guide for you!  We have done all the research, so you don’t have to!

Highlights of the Warcraft Reputation Guide:

  • Tons of Content – Over 150 pages of highly detailed information.
  • Easy to Follow – Every single reputation grind includes NPC names, coordinates and links to Wowhead for any further information.
  • Totally Optimized – We will teach you exactly how to level ANY reputation in the shortest time possible.  We know your time is valuable and we don’t want you to waste a single second of it!
  • Easy Download – We have compiled the guide into an easy to download pdf format so there are no long drawn out installation processes to go through, just download and start earning rep.  It’s that simple!
  • Get it NOW – Instant access!  As soon as you complete your purchase you will have immediate access to download your guide.  No waiting required!

I used this WoW guide for gaining Rep with the Sons of Hodir and now I am walking around with the Epic Shoulder Enchants!  Everyone that inspects me with awe.

Brian Kopp’s Alliance Guide and WotLK - WoW

DONOTCHANGE As I mentioned here, I have bought Brian’s guide to level my paladin from level 70-80 in World of Warcraft’s latest expansion: Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK). In this article, I’ll share my initial thoughts.

I have been using Brian Kopp’s Guide this past weekend and easily reached level 72. I’d estimate it takes a good 6-7 hours per level with my Ret paladin and that’s messing around a bit too, checking out the new instances (The Nexus & Utgarde Keep), respecing protection to solo shattered halls, etc. Turns out my protection gear isn’t as good as my ret gear so I gave up soloing SH after a few times. Brian Kopp’s game mod for the guide makes it extremely simple to use and works with the TomTom waypoint addon and Cartographer map addon so when the guide tells you to go to a waypoint it is automatically entered into those addons. This then displays an arrow telling you which direction to go, how far, and puts a way point on the map. Anyways, each step is displayed for you, map coordinates are automatically put in, NPC names are given. There is no simpler way to level in WotLK!

Update 11-29-2008: My fastest level so far was between 78 and 79. It took me about 4.5 hrs.  Not bad!  I think my epic flying mount helped quite a bit there.

Update 11-24-2008: After a week using the guide, and not playing 24/7 like some people, I managed to hit level 77! Not too bad.. I do have to say the Grizzly Hills is the biggest pain in the ass zone so far. It is much easier if you could use your flying mount! Level 73-74 took a fast 4.5 hours, I have to say the guide helped me speed through Dragonbait and I got to see the really cool cut scene that ends that zone. Good stuff!

I first got hooked on Brian Kopp’s Alliance Leveling guide when I leveled from 60-70, but back then there was no in-game mod. I had printed the .pdf and checked steps off as I finished them and had to enter in waypoints manually. Kind of a pain now that I’m spoiled by the in-game guide! One more thing, I printed out the guide for WotLK’s Howling Fjord zone but haven’t had a need to look at it since the ingame mod presents the info on the screen.

WotLK Leveling Guides

DONOTCHANGE There are three main suppliers of Warcraft Leveling Guides. Each of them will be updated for the Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) Expansion. The guides have their strengths and weaknesses and this article will review each of them from a World of Warcraft player’s perspective that has been playing the game since it was released in 2004.

Joanna’s Horde Leveling Guide is one of the oldest guides around. This one focuses mainly on the horde side. Since I’ve played alliance, I don’t have much experience with it. All I can say is people have been very happy with it and the two other guide suppliers used Joanna’s guide ideas for the creation of their guides (formatting, map mods, layout, etc.)  Hands down, this is the best horde guide out there.

Brian Kopp’s Guide is a very well written guide that I originally purchased to level 60-70. I followed the guide which I bought the day The Burning Crusade was released. Printed out the .pdf and installed the map mod. The guide proved to be invaluable for leveling my Paladin. Having the printed copy helped me by allowing me to check off the steps that I finished and the map mod clearly shows you where to go. Brian took the time to set waypoints for each of the steps. Needless to say I was one of the first to hit 70 in my guild, it took me about 2 weeks. I then leveled my Mage alt to 39 using the guide, played as a twink for a bit and then used the guide to get to 70. It was a very fast to level my alt, this was before Blizzard buffed the experience rate too. I am very happy with Brian Kopp’s guide and will more than likely use it again when Wrath of the Lich King comes out.  There might be a delay between the release of WotLK and when Brian’s guide comes out, but it will be well worth it.

UPDATE (November 12, 2008): Brian Kopp’s Guide has been updated for WotLK so you can now level from 1-80 in that.  I just purchased it and will post my results once I get the expansion!  I had great success with his alliance guides and highly recommend them.. As I mentioned before, I did 60-70 in 2 weeks (real days) and 39-70 pretty quick too using Brian’s guide.

UPDATE (November 17, 2008): I have been using Brian Kopp’s Guide this past weekend and easily reached level 72.  I’d estimate it takes a good 6-7 hours per level with my Ret paladin and that’s messing around a bit too, checking out the new instances, respecing protection to solo shattered halls, etc.  Turns out my protection gear isn’t as good as my ret gear so I gave up soloing SH after a few times. Brian Kopp’s game mod for the guide makes it extremely simple to use and works with the TomTom waypoint addon and Cartographer map addon so when the guide tells you to go to a waypoint it is automatically entered into those addons.  This then displays an arrow telling you which direction to go, how far, and puts a waypoint on the map. Anyways, each step is displayed for you, map coordinates are automatically put in, NPC names are given.  There is no simpler way to level!

Team iDemise Leveling Guide - This guide looks very good and also has a map mod. They tout that they have the fastest leveling time out of all the other guides. The price is a little less too. They have guides for both Alliance and Horde so if I was playing both factions, I would get this one! Also, like the other guide suppliers they feature Lifetime membership. You will receive all updates for free and for the rest of your life! New versions of our addon are uploaded frequently and you will receive 70-80 when Wrath of the Lich King is released. This is good because the map addon that Brian Kopp uses had some downtime between patch 2.3 and 3.02. If it weren’t for some bad reviews about having to grind I would sriously consider buying this guide for leveling from 70 to 80.

In conclusion, any of the above three guides will get you to 80 effectively and efficiently. Alot of time has been spent developing those guides and each feature a money back guarantee. So if you are considering purchasing a leveling guide, you won’t go wrong by choosing one of the above.

Breakfast Topic: If you could redo features in Wrath, what would they be?

Filed under: ,

With Cataclysm looming on the horizon, as Wrath of the Lich King winds down, it’s a good time to reflect on the expansion and see how things could’ve gone better. In the recently concluded developer chat over Twitter, one person asked what features in Wrath Blizzard would redo or remove if they could turn back the clock. Their answer is something close to my heart, personally, and I agree wholeheartedly. “I would have really liked to see more Battlegrounds in Northrend,” one of the tweets noted, “that is an area that I feel we fell short on.”

Another area that the developers felt lacked a little more polish was the emblem system, which they described as “clunky”. Of course, they admit that in hindsight there happens to be quite a number of things that they’d like to redo, pointing out that they are their own worst critics. I’m sure we’ve got our own ideas about what could have gone better, so let’s have at it. Personally, I’m quite happy about their plans to improve Battlegrounds play in Cataclysm, so I guess I’ll kick it off with that. What about you guys? If you could ask a favor of Chromie and her Bronze Dragonflight cohorts, what things would you have done differently about Wrath?

Breakfast Topic: Your favorite news from the Twitter dev chat

Filed under: , ,

Like its last incarnation, the latest Q&A from WoW developers over Twitter was full of some great information, both about the current expansion and what’s coming next with Cataclysm. Even better, you didn’t even need to be on Twitter to read it, for those still hemming and hawing over social networking being a big fad they don’t get.

We found out a few choice tidbits about Cataclysm, including what’s going on with the Blasted Lands revamp, the possibility of more old-world heroics like Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines, and the state of the Plaguelands after Arthas’ defeat. How Tol Barad will (and won’t) be like Wintergrasp also came up.

We also learned a bit about Wrath’s design philosophy, including what Blizzard liked about Wrath (questing), what they didn’t like (limited attempts on bosses), and what’s sticking around for Cataclysm (Dungeon Finder).

And that stuff’s only the tip of the iceberg. What was in the Q&A that spoke to you personally? What are you excited about now that some of these questions have been answered?

More Ruby Sanctum information: loot, lore, and more

Filed under: , , , ,

Today’s announcement of the upcoming Ruby Sanctum raid, coming with Patch 3.3.5, was well-met, though it raised a number of questions as to the nature of the instance — how will it work, what kind of loot can we expect, etc. Zarhym popped back into the original thread a few times to give clarification on a few points:

  • While the instance has a similar layout to the Obsidian Sanctum philosophically, the three sub-bosses (Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian) will each be own encounter all their own. The “drakes-up” functionality of Sartharion will not carry over into the Halion encounter.
  • Heroic difficulty is likely to be toggled in the same way that heroic difficulties are handled in ICC (a UI toggle).
  • Saviana, Baltharus, and Zarithrian will each drop an Emblem of Frost, but probably not special loot.
  • Expect loot in the instance to be “about the same item level” as the Lich King items on their respective difficulties.
  • The loot from Halion will be offset pieces as well as trinkets and other items “of that nature.” So, basically, Sartharion loot.
  • The instance is intended to be a prelude to Cataclysm and should provide some advancement for the new expansion’s storyline before the 4.0 patch, drawing on Deathwing’s desire to weaken the Wyrmrest Accord prior to his emergence from Deepholm.
  • Arthas is still considered the final boss of the expansion — this is merely a complementary raid, like Onyxia with ToC, with ties to Cataclysm.

Sounds like about what we were expecting. Keep an eye on WoW.com for more information on the Ruby Sanctum as it comes in, likely starting with the upcoming PTR.

Patch 3.3.3 PTR: Cull Stratholme faster than ever before

Filed under:

The dungeon finder has really changed what players get excited about the most in the World of Warcraft. It’s a strange world when one of the most anticipated updates to the game is the ability to tell Arthas to shut his yap. No, we don’t mean kill him in Icecrown, we really do mean telling him to shut the hell up. Just in case you missed it in the patch notes we posted a little while ago, there’s this waiting for us in patch 3.3.3:

  • Culling of Stratholme: Players may now skip the initial introduction dialog to this dungeon once they have completed it at least once.

The pre-Culling of Stratholme dialogue is really cool to experience the first few times, but after that it just starts to feel like a waste of time. The dungeon finder made it even worse, because as awesome as it is, it eliminated some of the social stigma of ditching a group early. Oculus and Culling of Stratholme are the two instances I can always expect some dip to drop from. Hopefully this change and the deserter debuff becoming 30 minutes will discourage that sort of behavior.

Patch 3.3.3 PTR patch notes

Filed under: ,

The official Patch 3.3.3 patch notes have just been posted to the official site, so we’re likely to see the PTR incredibly soon, if it isn’t up right now. You can find the patch notes in full below. Do note, however, that this is Patch 3.3.3 and not Patch 3.3.5. This will not include the Ruby Sanctum raid dungeon.

Some highlights:

  • Death Knights: Icy Touch: This ability now causes a very high amount of threat while the death knight is in Frost Presence.
  • Many aura abilities such as Unleashed Rage, Abomination’s Might, and Elemental Oath are now passive auras and do no need to be triggered by certain strikes.
  • Frozo the Renowned has moved into the Dalaran Magus Commerce Exchange and will be trading your Frozen Orbs for various other trade goods. We do not yet know what these items are, but we’ll be sure to look as soon as we get on the PTR.

Look behind the break for the rest of the Patch 3.3.3 patch notes.

Update: Ghostcrawler says these are not quite complete yet.
