you remind of that saying that goes on here and i dont remember it exactly but its goes along the lines of “the players of classic removed the fun from classic to be efficient” something to that effect anyway lol. anyway i work 50+ hours a week easily and can still play classic
I’ve used Zygor and RestedXP both paid versions, and while I know this is an unpopular opinion, I definitely prefer Zygor. RestedXP is a bit too UI for me and it seems more built for marketing than for what it is meant to do; help you level faster.
Exactly this would be my advice as well.
After playing a session of HC, where I do just this, I feel like I lived a chaper in a book or an episode in a movie, and did some real dangeous stuff.
Should I add one further piece of advice it would be: Read the quest descriptions, flavour texts, books and everything else readable you happen to meet. Talk to the NPCs, also the not directly relevant ones, some of them have hilarious lines.

Lol, while this is good advice for someone new to the game with lots of free time, someone asking for what OP is asking for is clearly not looking to read…flavour texts…in quest descriptions. I don’t fully disagree with what you guys are saying, but this is not good advice for what OP is looking for.

Just in case he did not know that not following guides was an option

I don’t use guides and prefer to play the game as it comes to me.
I look stuff up if I become stuck but I at least try to find the 32 Hickory Smoked Horse Buttholes before I give up and go to WoWhead.

No disrespect, but after 20 years of playing, why would you even need a guide?
AI Voice OVer Addon is awesome if you don’t have it already.
It reads all the NPCs lines in the text boxes including the Flight Masters, Banks, and Vendors.
As someone who has been playing for 15 years and yeah, may have most of the quests memorized. These addons like Zygor or RestedXP still can help and give you a bit of an “auto-pilot” mode. Sure, I would be fine without them but playing with them is definitely some nice QoL.
I’ve used Questie in the past for the improved quest tracking, but I guess it’s just a matter of preference. I’m sure some of these guides give great advice.
Maybe I’m weird in that I like to be flexible. Sometimes, on fresh start servers a guide isn’t the most optimal strat (unless you’re truly ahead of the pack.) That’s where game knowledge comes in clutch. Knowing alternative methods to follow instead of just painting by numbers.
100% true.
Because I’m curious how people are hitting 60 in just a couple days instead of a couple months.
Rested XP Hardcore Survival guides a level 5 NE hunter without a pet into a cave… no wonder it is dark red on deathlog heatmap.
Its the best one for softcore tho

Yeah I tried the free version of RestedXP last night getting a Paladin from 1-10 and even it’s hardcore option really does want you living in caves and trying risky climbs/jumps. I don’t think I’d be going with RestedXP for hardcore.
Would try Joanna’s for hardcore but I believe he died before making a hardcore variant so we’ll probably never know what his strats would of been without death skips.
I’ve used Zygor’s in the past. It was okay but a lot of it didn’t seem to make sense to me. Like Zygor’s has you avoid picking up a quest for an area you’re already going to be in just for it to have you pick up that same quest like 10 minutes later to go in and do it. Like why not just have me grab the quest the first time and save having to make the repeat trip?
Restedxp user here - if you’re looking for most efficient routing I def think its the best way. If you skip a step or outlevel a step it will update and move on, its thinking a few moves ahead as opposed to what you’re doing right that very second
It’s not usually from a guide. People that level quickly typically do it from AoE grinds, abusing layering, or cleave dungeon groups.
Isn’t RestedXP a fork of Guidelime?
People pay for the contents of the guide, not the app. You (or anyone) could write your own contents and give it away for free or sell it, or both, if you’d like.
you don’t need a guide lol
just use questie.
They didn’t say they needed a guide; they said they wanted to be more efficient
