Certain wow powerleveling guides are for purchase, with prices ranging from $37 USD to $100 USD and higher. These are not recommended for several reasons: the risk that the guide is not complete or updated; the risk of not getting what you pay for; and finally, why pay for something that you can get for free? There are many free guides, including some that have been adapted into add-ons.

 
Avoid questing and running instances with players whose characters are a significantly higher level than yours. While it may be tempting to have a level eighty friend run you through an instance, the loss in XP generally isn't worth the time you'll save. There are a variety of online companies that advertise wow powerleveling. This involves paying a fee or purchasing a package of benchmarks (such as a desired level, amount of gold, an epic mount, et cetera), and then handing your account and login information over to the company.

 
There are a variety of wow powerleveling guides for Horde and Alliance. These guides are essentially walkthroughs that take the player through the most efficient questing route. The guide directs players to objectives from multiple quests that are in close proximity, thereby cutting down travel time. It is risky to do so; rogue site will probably take your account and disappear.
