The route to 80 is fraught with danger, dead-ends and wasted time. Are you read to take that on all by yourself, without any expert help? I would imagine not. But, why settle for a guide that doesn’t offer everything you need in one tidy, easy to use package. There are dozens of guides on the Internet for World of Warcraft – trust me, I’ve seen most of them. But, that doesn’t mean they’re all worth your money. Nyhm’s Warcraft Leveling Guides attempt to capture your attention by offering a little bit of everything, but is it all enough?

To start with, you’ll notice that Nyhm’s World of Warcraft guides are available for pretty much everything. He sells guides for leveling, gold making PvP, and professions. He also offers a reputation guide to go with it all and packages it all into one giant, super guide for an incredibly good price. But, when you’re talking about any kind of all-in-one guide, you have to wonder if the finished product is as good as the sum of its parts. And if you only need one guide, can it stand up on its own?

For the most part, Nyhm’s Warcraft gold and leveling guides pull it off nicely. They are chock full of details about most everything you’d need to know about in the game. The leveling guides are well written, if not quite as detailed as some others, and they do come with an in-game mod that works mostly as well as it claims to. The other guides are about on par, if a bit under updated. The real value comes in the form of the complete package and finished price though.

Using Nyhm’s Guide 

The leveling guide starts you off with a downloadable PDF. Since no one really wants to use these anymore (or print them all out), Nyhm has since upgraded to an in-game mod. The mod itself is not the best in-game mod I’ve seen for a WoW leveling guide, but it gets the job done for the most part. It’d be nice to see on screen transparency and automated step changing so that I don’t have to sort through it all on my own. But, the steps are all quite sound and get you to level 80 at a relatively sharp rate.

The real value in Nyhm’s Warcraft Leveling guides though is that he adds all sorts of nice little tips and side paths you can take to get extra gold, find new items or land extra experience. This is the kind of stuff you always want to find in an all-in-one guide but no one ever does. For example, when you’re running around Westfall completing your 12-15 levels for a Dwarf Paladin, it’d be nice to know that the Linen cloth you’re piling up off of Defias mobs is worth something at the Auction House. Nyhm gives you that info and makes it easy to turn a profit on it.

What’s Included

The complete Nyhm package comes with the leveling guide above, but also a ton of other options you can tack on to make your gameplay experience more complete as one of the best World of Warcraft guides on the market. It includes:

• World of Warcraft Gold guide with over 100 pages of tips and tricks to making gold. He even includes his 7 day route to 10,000 gold (you’ve got to see it to believe it).
• Grinding locations depending on level, gear and class.
• Auction House strategies and gold making tips for low level players
• 125 pages of profession guides to get your professions to level 450 quickly while making good gold.
• PvP Guide with one on one strategies, macros, must have items, and battleground strategies.
• Reputation guide for every faction in Outland and Northrend

Together, this content makes for a heck of a good value, considering how useful it all is when combined into a single package. And Nyhm’s price for all this is well below the competitors – something that is hard to over look.
Nyhm’s Warcraft Guide Review - The Bottom Line

On their own, each of Nyhm’s guides may not be the best World of Warcraft guides for their respective categories. However, they each stand out as very solid, very well written guides that can get you to Level 80 in 7 days, help you land 10,000 gold in another 7 days and then hit a top arena rating in another few days. Taken as a whole, you can’t get much better than Nyhm’s Warcraft guides and that’s saying quite a bit with all the competition out there. If you want to make gold while you speed level, or have something good to do when you hit Level 80, this is the only guide option for you.
