Horde Leveling Guides

The goal of this site is to gather and review as many of the popular power leveling guides and tools that are available out there now for your World of Warcraft Horde characters.

Maybe it is just me, but the Alliance has always had it a bit easier (Back when they only had Pallies, or AV -still- and so on). Finally in the last year or two some changes have been made to even the playing field a little bit and we are now seeing what the Horde is really capable of. For too long those top guilds claimed that Alliance players are better - well now with the evening of things we see that the Horde is the real force to deal with! (been to strand much? Wintergrasp? Totally balanced fields and they tend to be Horde dominated!)

With the increased experience and other changes you can now level at a more reasonable pace - however, that just means you can power level with the right horde leveling guides even faster. We have finished 1 to 80 in under 6 days /played with some of these guides.


Screenshots will be provided under the review sections for total played times of some guides. We have not leveled all guides with all characters yet, and we do not have screenshots for all that we have leveled but we do have several so check them out. Some of these guides claim 6 days… but really, if you do them right you can finish leveling in 5 days without too much trouble.

The top guides we like are to the right and below:

Zygor is our new top choice. The tools, feedback, forums, addons, and price just make this the best guide available.

Joana's guide is one of the original leveling guides. This is a fun guide and has a ton of resources as well.

I suggest taking a look at all of the guides and deciding which one you think you would feel most comfortable with. All of them are very fast now so it is pretty much just a matter of how you feel about each one and how you like to level your new hordlings.
