Seven Steps to Finding Great Guides
It can be really confusing when your trying to find a good World of Warcraft Guide and you have dozens to look through. Well these seven steps are the things I look for whenever I’m creating a review of any World of Warcraft guide for my website and YouTube. And now you know too.
1) Step by Step DETAILED Instructions - Make sure that whatever guide that you look for has everything labeled out clearly for you. Don’t get into a World of Warcraft guide (or any game guide for that matter) and be lost somewhere in the middle because the author didn’t take time to write out all the details.
2) Video Examples - Sometimes when your in the middle of a quest the guide tells you to grab the “staff” but all you see is a really skinny tree. This is why an accompanied video REALLY helps clear up any confusion. Don’t buy a guide without them.
3) Maps and Coordinates - Not everybody has the entire World of Warcraft drawn out in their brains like me and you. And even then, we need some help at times. Make sure that whatever guide you get has Maps and EXACT coordinates to areas you need to be. This is seriously important.
4) Multiple Class Applications - Unless your buying a World of Warcraft guide that is only made for Blood Elves or Tauren Druid’s make sure that you could apply the same guide to multiple classes. We’re not all Magic Casters you know.
5) Realm Crossover ability - Make sure that the guide is detailed, but general enough to apply to several different realms. I play the World of Warcraft servers in Finland as well as California, so I always want to make sure I can use the guide wherever I go.
6) Equips and Spells - If the guide is class specific or it’s a leveling guide telling you what to do make sure that it always tells you what Equips, Spells and how much Gold you need for that particular section. I can’t tell you how many times I ventured into an area the guide told me to go and had my ass handed to me time and time again simple because I had the wrong equips on.
7) Easy to Use - Finally make sure the guide is fun and easy to use. If for any reason you can’t print out the guide or you don’t understand the contents, dump it. If you can’t get good customer support or find any FAQ’s turn around and run the other way.
And that’s it! Those are the things I try to incorporate when I review a guide for my website but if your just out looking for a guide and your confused on what to choose just look back at these seven things to look for and it’ll make your experience much better. If any of these steps are missing the guide is probably not worth it. Dump the guide and walk the other way. If all the steps are there it’ll boost your gaming to mad levels. Have fun. Peace.

Wow!
After reading that it looks like I have my work cut out for me over the weekend making some videos.
We just created a new in-game Horde Leveling Guide that meets all of your steps to a great guide, except the video part.
We would love it if you could review our guide.
