I have tried a number of guides. Zygor’s is very popular in particular because it comes with a in-game mapping program. Literally, you put it into your add-ons, sign in and it tells you step by step what the most efficient way to level is. It puts a green dot on your mini-map to where you should go to solve any of the quests or to pick up quests. There’s a little comment box with things like "he’s the dude with the red hat" that questhelper and others don’t have. You can start using the guide at any level, any class and any race (although Horde and Alliance are separate guides).

I have not been happy at all with other written guides which say ‘go to 53,67, pick up quest blah blah blah, go to 48, 76, kill blah blah’. Quest Helper or Carbonite can do all of that for you. A guide should tell you where to travel at what stage in the most efficient way possible. It also tells you where to grind and what to grind and how far to grind. When to switch to a particular innkeeper, when to hearth and when to simply die and rez at a graveyard.

There are free ways of getting Zygor’s Alliance and Horde including the programs. I suppose I shouldn’t tell you where they are openly here but I would start with file-sharing resources where anybody can put up their copy to share. If you’d like though, the others here have given solid advice. Questhelper alone solves most people’s issues and is free.

1. You can find leveling guides for either Horde or Alliance without paying for them. Just gotta look harder. (If you are Alliance I can even send you one that I have).
2. Gold making guides are a scam. If you are 80 the best thing is to become a mindr and herbalist. And zoom around on epic flyer picking/mining nodes. Fishing and cooking also helps alot as for high level fishes cooked properly will sell for 20-100g a stack.

So I would say, save your money for your subscription and just level to 80 and get the right professions and you will be just fine.

actually you dont need to buy a guide, i think they are a scam why dont you just play the game yourself instead of buying a guide to tell you how to play?
