Team iDemise QuestUp Review

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 at 6:48 pm

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:

: Members Area

: Install Page

: Accepting a Quest

: Arrow showing where to go

: Quest complete, turn in time!

: Just Turning In

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.
