I have been playing Warcraft since beta. I know what it takes to level, I know what it takes to reap in the gold, and most importantly I know what makes a good game guide. Too many of my WOW friends were wasting there money on crap guides. Today I\’m going to help you choose some game guides that actually work.

When it comes to The World of Warcraft, or any MMORPG for that matter, having the skills to get to the end game is really all that matters. The problem is that WOW can be complex, and it can be slow going once you get past level 20. To help, many people are turning to Warcraft Game Guides.

There are literally hundreds of game guides out there. There\’s leveling guides, guides to earning gold, in-game help systems, and even Race or role specific guides. With so many of them on the market, choosing the game guide that\’s actually worth your money can be difficult; and, put simply, some of them are crap. With that, let\’s first talk about what a good Warcraft game guide is and is not.

First, a game guide is NOT the be-all-end-all answer to your leveling, gold, or other in-game problems. You\’ll still have to get into the game and apply what the guide teaches.

Second, NOT everyone needs a Warcraft gaming guide. If you already have four level 80 characters, and your bank-roll is huge, then the latest guide is likely just a waste of money.

Third, a Warcraft guide IS an excellent way to take your game to a whole new level. A good game guide will take your World of Warcraft experience to a whole new level of enjoyment, and it can help you learn to earn gold and level faster!

Fourth, if you don\’t take the time to find the right guide then you are just wasting your money. A crap guide can make your game worse, not better, and if you\’re really interested in getting to the end game you need to take the time to choose the right guide.

To help, along with some of my in-game friends, I took the time to go through the top

guides on the market. We worked to evaluate close to thirty guides and from those we found the top five. I based my evaluations on the following criteria.
