20th for Idemise

Well I did it. Time was not impressive tho.

19 hours and 2 minutes

Longer then Brains system. My first impressions for this section would be excessive travel. He starts you in the elf zone around Auberdine. Then around 16th level he had me make the trip to Westfalls. A trip that takes forever. Not to mention the death march through the Wetlands. 24th level crocks nipping at your heals the whole way. After finishing several Westfalls quests, many of which I like and do normally without a guide, he then takes us back to Auberdine to finish up to 20. Or does it? Once again as I finished up the quests and was half way through my 19th level, he states...."Now you should be 20th level...and maybe even 21st level by this time"...
Excuse me? I'm not even 20th yet. So I went back checked everything, and sure enough, I didn't miss a thing. Some how I just wasn't 20th.

So I just went on to doing his next part of his guide, but I cant help wondering how low level I'll be for when I'm suppose to be level 25.

One more thing these blogs are going to become less frequent just because it will take longer to make 5 levels as I climb the ladder to glory. Maybe I can stop in for a little update as the reach for the next level.

20th

Well I played Brains guide and finally made it to 20th. Time so far:

18hours 54 minutes

Not to bad I suppose. I'm still in the Dreani zone, hadn't realized how big it was. They definitely made it bigger then most the starter zones. As to the guide, the one thing I hate about these leveling guides, is that there written for contest speeds. There's usually no time given for professions, and don't even think about going to a main city to auction your stuff. I know they say have a mule toon and I do, but it just doesn't feel the same to me when all my gold is on another toon. Also Brain doesn't like to turn in quests. He saves them up to turn in for speed. But even tho I'm using all 10 slot bags, I find them almost constantly filled with quest items that I would prefer to be loot.

So unless your going for a record, I would suggest making stops in town more frequently just so you can sell your stuff. I actually had to go back to town for ammo once. I think they should but side notes for the casual player, like head for town if you wish were about to do 15 quests and rest stop breaks. Anyways I'm up to 20!

15th level using Idemise

Drum roll!! 10 hours and 4 minutes.

So far so good. I'm currently doing Dark Shore quests while Brain still has me doing Dranei quests. I guess there are more Dranei quests then Night Elf quests. I've done Brains guide before, tho I never timed myself, and i noticed that Idemise is doing all the same quests at Auberdine. I wonder when it will actually go in another direction. I suppose there are only so many quests to choose from at the lower levels. I Do know I hate the fact that all the guides make you head for the Night Elf zone. Running through the wetlands is such a pain when your under 20th level. In this instance they both want you to run there at 12th. Those of you that haven't heard, the WoW warchest is out now. Good price for both the burning crusade and WoW.
