Lately, I’ve been adding some new books & categories to my selling repertoire, including some of the more well-known AD&D strategy guides when I can find them, but when someone asked if I have a World of WarCraft Leveling Guide in my inventory, I had to admit I had no idea what he was talking about. I mean, the types of video games or strategy games I play are at the level of Tetris, Reversi or PacMan, with the rare foray into something a little more complicated like 7th GUEST or FRANKENSTEIN: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE MONSTER (and that one only mainly because Tim Curry was the main actor in it!)
Without a couple of strategy guides along with some ‘cheat sheets’, however, we (Mom and I) would NEVER had ‘won’ FRANKENSTEIN – before we got the books, we’d gotten killed more times than I want to remember and that was usually in about 10 mins of playing, not the hours, or even days, some people can go. (Being killed out early went on for a couple weeks before I finally caved and did an internet search for an official FRANKSTEIN strategy guide which now holds a well-earned spot on the nearest bookshelf right next to the cheat sheets I also found during the self-same search.)
So I totally understand the frustration that leads someone to want something like a World of WarCraft Leveling Guide or hacks or even cheats. Unfortunately, when looking for game guides in our book hunts, I’ve never seen a WarCraft Leveling Guide or related item in the 2nd hand market which is where most of our books are found. (Either they don’t exist or no one gives them up because they’re sooo useful, eh?) I also realized after looking up the gaming sites for World of WarCraft that there was no way I could carry every WarCraft book around, or even start to as I don’t know which ones anyone wants at any one time, so I’ll have to let others do it for me on this one. (Got to leave room for a few of my OWN books around here somewhere!)
I’ve also decided after looking at the WoW websites, that I’ll stick with my much easier to understand (and remember the rules) games! Even with all the books, cheats and hacks available, I think my head would explode trying to keep track of all the WarCraft characters, maps, scenarios, weapons, quests, and mods!!
Since I was no use directly on this subject, I did run into a couple places on the internet that seem to have useful books/guides for what my customer was looking for, so that’s what I did: recommend a few websites and provide a few links to get him started. Haven’t heard back, though. Either they’re working as advertised and he’s busy playing as never before, or they weren’t quite what he was looking for and he’s still hunting for help. Hummm…. (Not sure I want to interrupt either activity by asking…!)
Here are some of the places I found that seem to have a World of WarCraft Leveling Guide for various scenarios or related items, such as WarCraft videos:
World of WarCraft Joana’s 1-70 Horde Leveling Guide
World Of WarCraft Brian Kopps 1-70 Alliance Guide
World of WarCraft Guides/Videos
Ultimate World of WarCraft Guide
And don’t forget, there’s always my favorite place to shop for bargains or hard-to-find elsewhere stuff: World of WarCraft Items on eBay
