Would you believe I’ve only JUST created my first bank alt?

Its true, and I’m ashamed!

I’m ashamed because now that I’ve been using one for the past few weeks, I can now see the crazy, heart palpitating amount of time it could have saved me in the past.

Here’s how it works for those of you new to the bank alt technique.

Create a new character, preferably with an amusing bank alt name… I chose “Knab Alt”, though I’m sure you can come up with something better, here’s a few more ideas:

• Uber Mule
• Deep Pokkets
• Day Trayda
• Kash King
• BuyLowSellHigh
• Sleazo
• GoldFingars

You get the idea… hopefully your server has a few cool bank alt names left that you can use.

Oh, and try and pick something thats easy to remember! The first time you send something you wanna be sure its to the right toon!

Secondly, get auctioneer, or something similar from www.curse.com

Whenever you’re ready to start playing for the day, or 15 minutes before hand if you can, log in your alt, and start scanning the Auction House to find those cheap items some fool posted cheap, and so that you get a history of sales prices that you can use to your advantage in the future.

I recommend scanning at least 2 times a day for a week before you start posting items if you can, and definately no less that 5 scans before you post. If you do this, you’ll get a good history, and won’t make any money losing trades.

Lastly, of course, your main will simply need to post all the loot over to your bank alt at the end of your gaming session, ready for your alt to pick up in the morning.

Can you see your bank alt now? They’re just getting up, sipping at an Azeroth coffee, ready to hit the market.

Are you?

I’ve recently been handed the new Team iDemise leveling guide, “QuestUp”. After using the guide for 10 levels with a new character and a few levels with my level 61 toon, this is what I thought of it.

Firstly, how does this guide work?

Traditional leveling guides are basically “hand crafted” — the owner, or the owner and their team basically sift through World of Warcraft quests and find the best ones, and then string them together as efficiently as possible to save you as much time as possible.

Now, the Team iDemise guide, “QuestUp”, technically doesn’t do this at all. QuestUp is actually a program which monitors the best routes taken in WoW by the fastest levelers, and then communicates that to you by telling you which quests to take and which to pass over.

Now, I don’t personally KNOW how the Team iDemise leveling guide does this, but its a rather fancy trick. Its also not clear exactly who they’re tracking, and where they’re from. Do they track all the servers, and then collate the information before putting into the guide? I don’t know.

What I do know is the guide looks good and plays well.

I gave it a test run with a level 1 Orc Warrior through to level 10, and used it with my level 61 Shaman for a few levels and they did fine — no slow or low exp quests, and I wasn’t running back & forth all over the zone.

So whatever Team iDemise is doing, they seem to have hit a good formula.

Here’s a few screen shots of me using the guide with my 61 Shaman, and of the members area:

So is “QuestUp” a good guide for you?

• Horde guide and Alliance guide available
• Fast leveling only guide – no extra content available
• No gold guides, no instance guides, no PvP info
• In-game guide from lvl 1 to 80
• Directional arrow points the way
• Easy to install, easy to use
• Initial syncing up with the guide can take time for higher level players

Who wouldn’t want the guide?

Anyone who can’t put in a little time and effort into setting up the guide! Using my level 61 Shaman in Outlands meant I needed to right click dismiss a bunch of quests from the guide to get to the right spot… it took about 10 minutes and I was good to go. All guides are a pain to sync up with when you start, and this guide is no different (unless you’re starting a new toon, in which case disregard all of this).

Just keep reminding yourself that once you’re synced, you’ll make back the time you spent x10.

I also wouldn’t recommend this guide if you want to get yourself extra gold info, or if you’d like to educate yourself on PvP and professions. If that is what you’re after Dave Farrel’s Ultimate WoW Guide has a big bundle pack with all that stuff in it.

Just after the leveling info though? I thought the Team iDemise Leveling Guide was great, and it comes with a 100% money back guarantee if you don’t agree.

Dave “Dugi” Farrel from Ultimate WoW Guide has done something no one else has been able to do — create a daily quest guide that automatically updates depending on what daily quests you’re doing at the time.

Dave tells me this project was easier said than done thanks to WoW dailies being a bit more complicated than your usual step-by-step leveling guide.

Dugi’s major obstacle was that some daily quests are randomly selected by the server so a simple step-by-step guide was not viable.

Dave managed to find his way around it though which is great, and after weeks of testing he has got the daily quest guide to a stage where he can complete 25 daily quests in 1 and a half hours (and he’s got proof on his daily quest guide page).

If you’re interested Dave has some free info to get you started, as well as a paid in-game addon which is really nice. Just go to Dave’s daily quest guide, if you’d like to check it out.

Dave also has a bunch of videos that offer you free tips on how to better complete some of the existing daily quests, and he says you’ll be able to get plenty of useful and usable info out of them.

It’s totally worth your while to check out all the videos. Even if you’ve done some of these dailies before you might learn something new on how to complete them faster.
