When New MMOs Strike: Dissecting the Early Guides

The first guides released for any new MMO are always a little sparse on content. In their rush to reach the market first, the guides will recycle information from old beta content and leave many players high and dry as they try to stumble their way through half finished tips and confusing steps.

Luckily, by the time the games hit the market, there is usually at least one guide on the market that is designed to help players start speeding up their leveling speed as they start up new characters, using live game content as its base and ensuring top quality. Before I get too carried away, let me say a few words about Warhammer Elite and its take on the Warhammer Online leveling sequence.

What You Get in the Guide

Warhammer Elite is unique for a few good reasons. First of all, it contains what is arguably the most complete take on leveling yet released for Warhammer Online. It does this with live game leveling content backed up by recent screenshots and maps detailing each step of the process. To further add to the content, the guide writer has included specific instructions for each step of the way, helping players get where they need to be without wasting any time in the process.

The Details

Leveling for both Order and Destruction is provided in vivid detail, starting with Tier 1, Chapter 1 for each race and going up to the capital cities and siege warfare at Rank 40. The guide covers each aspect of the game’s many forms of leveling, including the Tome of Knowledge, markers for Public Quests and details on how to disengage from leveling to enjoy RvR Scenarios in special circumstances. The guide doesn’t skimp on the details and it doesn’t regurgitate Closed Beta information that may or may not still be accurate. This is real game content and it has been tested to ensure accuracy for all players.

The Verdict

There are not a lot of Warhammer guides out there right now, so it is easy to recommend Warhammer Elite as the clear and away favorite as the best one out there. It has the polish and quality of a guide that was written after months of gameplay and looks to only get better as updates and changes are made to the guide in the near future.
