Zygor Guides vs. Joana Horde Leveling Guide
Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide and Zygor Guides, have been spouted as the leanest and meanest guides for World of Warcraft out there to date. But what really separates the two guides and makes one more preferable to the other. With this in mind lets take a short look at the basics the two guides offer and who comes out on top.
The two guides here offer an amazing level of detail and explanation. They also deliver it via blisteringly fast leveling routes. But with Joana’s guide it was developed using a Hunter. This may not seem like anything to be concerned about, but to be honest if you are looking to replicate the leveling speed of Joana then you are forced to roll a hunter. The guide does not really give consideration to other classes within the game.
Zygor Guides have been tested on every class known in World of Warcraft. It has been designed just to do this. Another thing that was achieved is that Zygor Guides have even taken into account the exact race you choose. How great is that? All the quests the player decides to take are attainable. It does not matter if you are a Warrior or a Warlock. The winner so far is Zygor Guides 1 and Joana’s Guide is still at 0.
Being one of the first to demonstrate 100% in game, Zygor Guides has proven itself. The great thing is you no longer have to hit alt-tab and bounce out of the game to be able to read the guide. If you look inside the game screen the guide shows in a small box. When using Joana’s Guide you have the steps in a box but in order to move forward on the guide to have to click on the next step button which can be very frustrating. With Zygors it moves through automatically so you do not have to worry about it moving on. With Zygors you just have to play the game and follow the guide, no extra clicking involved. So far the score is Zygors 2 and Joana’s is still at 0.
Sadly when it comes to Joana’s Horde Guide, as is mentioned in the name, it is solely reserved for the horde faction. There is no Joana Guide for the Alliance, where as Zygor Guides supplies coverage of both.
This next comparison can’t really be called a comparison. That’s because Zygor Guides is the only guide out there that supplies it. This concerns the class quests. Every class within Wow has quests assigned specifically for them to do. Completing these is pivotal to the development of your character, yet all other guides to date exclude them. Why? The reason being, they are a nightmare to fit in. What with the number of classes within the game and the disruption they would cause to a normal leveling path many guides leave them out. But not Zygor Guides, they have gone that extra mile to include these all important quests and done so with great success.
To come to a conclusion, you have to make your own mind up. Joana’s Horde Guide is an excellent resource and even though here, I have made it look as if it is lacking in many areas, it’s not really fair. Because at this moment in time, there is no guide whether paid or free, out there that even comes close to the functionality of Zygor Guides. But I will leave the decision to you and what ever you choose wish you good luck and happy gaming.
