Tired of spending months leveling your character to get to the endgame content?

I certainly was. Bored of my L80 Mage I wanted to start all over again, this time with a horde Warrior, but just the thought of how much time it would take made me hesitate. So I started to look for good guides worth the money. Spending a large amount of money on powerlevling or buying a char on e-bay just don't appeal to me.
I wanted to get there by myself to a fair price.

I've leveled up a couple of chars since then and tried out quite a lot of guides. I found out that most of them are crappy grinding guides or just filled with loads of outdated information.

On this site I give you my oppinion of the best guides I found on the internet. WoW guides that actually work and will ease your life as a World of Warcraft player.

DPS Gear For Death Knight - Head

There are many gears for Death Knight especially for DPS-ing and we will take a look at the gears available for head. If you have a Death Knight, be sure to check out the gears available as this is helpful when you advance in the game.
First of all, we have the Spiked Titansteel Helm. It might cost you a lot of Gold but you will get much improvement for strength, strike rating and hit rating. With metagem slot, it is excellent for the Chaotic Skyflare Diamond.
However, you can save some Gold through the Heroics. Get the Heroic Azjol-Nerub that doesn’t have hit rating but there is the 2-gem slot. You can also get the Loken in Heroic Halls of Lightning that can drop Planetary Helm. This is very powerful especially from strength and agility.
With these gears for head, your Death Knight is sure to be an excellent Death Knight. However, each Death Knight is different depending on how you play your Death Knight so be sure to play it as the way you want it. That is real important.

Fishing in Zul'Aman

Fishing in Zul'Aman - I haven't tested this out too much...just a little today. But there are some new recipes that use some fish that can be easily caught in Zul'Aman. The cool thing is that the drop rate in ZA is pretty high, but it doesn't require maxed fishing to do it.

A buddy of mine was leveling his fishing in Zangramarsh. He came to ZA and fished all the way up to 375. Why? Crescent-Tail Skullfish. Thottbot is showing the auction value for those fish at 2g 37s each! (I listed mine 10-stack for 3g...there was none out there!) It's for a new recipe that gives +Spell Crit, and that's the first time a food buff has done that, so it'll probably be in demand. While I was checking out the price at Thottbot I also noticed that the "held in off-hand" trophy fish like Enormous Barbed Gill Trout and Huge Spotted Feltail are also used in high-end food. It used to be they were worthless..now they're selling for over 2g each!

So what's my point for you? If you haven't leveled up fishing, do it in ZA once you're high enough to fish there! If you ARE maxed, give it a try anyway! Those fish are hard to come by and valuable to folks with the new recipes who like the new buff.

If you can't clear ZA yet, that's ok. Just whisper someone who has been in and is saved to the instance. (It takes 5 players to open the gates.) If someone who is saved to the instance (or cleared it), invites you and converts your party of two to a raid, you can get into the instance. This will allow you in without having to have 5 players banging the gong together to open the gates. Watch out for the patrol, and make your way straight ahead to the little section of water and fish in the deep spot in the corner. You'll be safe from the patrol once you're down by the water.

Oh...and Lightning Eels are now selling well. If you fished, you remember those...the only thing they were good for was the vendor. Now they're used for a rare recipe that gives you a buff that zaps your enemies occasionally. Good times.
