Mage Leveling Guide – Dugi’s Leveling Guide Review
Hey guys! Nethrys here. You guys have probably figured out by now that I’m a big fan of optimizing my leveling efficiency. I’ve looked into all of the big name leveling guides, and have found that some are significantly better than others. Most recently, I bought Dugi’s Leveling Guide, and I have to say, it’s definitely one of the better ones. I’ve tried it with both a brand new character and a previously abandoned mid-level toon, and now that I’m familiar with it, I’d like to share my findings with you all. Just as a heads up, this is not the official site for Dugi’s Leveling Guide. If you’re looking for Dugi’s official site, click here.
Alright, so here it is, straight and uncensored. Dugi’s Leveling Guide acts as an in-game addon. The install is quick and simple, just drag and drop the files into your Addons directory. When you log in, enable it the same way you would any other addon. Once you get into the game, the addon will be on your screen. From that point, it will literally walk you through every single thing you need to do to get from your current level straight to the cap. I know that probably sounds like an exaggeration, but it’s really not. Here’s a quick rundown of the features:
- Automatic quest tracking that tells you exactly what to do and when, from 1 – 80
- A big, glowing arrow pointing you straight towards your next objective
- Minimap with marked locations and notes relevant to your current quests
- A guide to the best leveling talents for all classes
- Automatically displays quest items so you don’t have to hunt through your bags
- Free lifetime updates
Dugi’s got a video posted of his guide in action, so I decided to start out a new Mage (surprise surprise) and give it a go. The flow of quests is extremely smooth. In fact, you can pretty much level on autopilot. Jumping onto a level 45 druid, I found that the guide works just as well if you start in the middle as it does if you’re starting from scratch. As someone with 1 of each class at least 60+, I enjoyed being able to just kick back, follow the arrow and the little floating guide, and get levels faster than ever before. I’ve started over on new servers to play with friends or coworkers before, and every time I’ve gotten super tired of doing the same thing I’ve done so many times all over again.
The point is, this addon takes the PAIN out of leveling, whether you’re a rookie or a veteran. I strongly recommend this leveling guide without hesitation for anyone planning on leveling another character at any point in the future. If you’re interested in leveling faster (and if you’re here, I’m guessing you are) then you owe it to yourself to check out Dugi’s Leveling Guide. If there’s a faster way to level your Mage, or any other class for that matter, I haven’t found it.
