MMORPG.com World of Warcraft correspondent James Wood writes this guide to playing a level 1-10 Druid in Blizzard's massively popular game. This is Part Two.

All you have to do is follow the road out of Red Cloud Mesa. Don stop to pet anything on the way.

Druids and Their Day Jobs

If leveling unhindered is your fancy, don’t take professions at all, but you will suffer later on if this is your first character in WoW. The gold gained from certain professions will keep you from floundering later on.

Professions

Alchemy

Support with: Herbalism

Prices for healing potions don’t tend to be very impressive, but marketing potions with great worth in PvP (Free Action and Living Action Potions, for example), can net considerable amounts of gold. The only hitch will sometimes be the amount of reputation that you must gather for the factions that sell alchemy recipes.

  A guide for leveling a Druid 1-10? That has to be the easiest thing in all of video gamming to do. The leveling in WOW is so fast now you can hit level 10 in less than 30 mins.

  Also your guide is all wrong. Dont take any crafting professions early on you should do 2 gathering like skinning and herbalism. Sell everything you gather on auction house. Do not buy armor on auction house quest items will be fine. Having the best gear is not that important until you are level 80. If you know you want to do alchemy later then create an alt and send some of your herbs at each level to him so you can level your alchemy faster when it is time to do that. I personally do not do crafting till I am 80 then go back and just get what a need. I have level 80 duids on both Horde and Alliance and using this method I have never been short of gold I always have enough for epic flying just as soon as I hit lvl 70.

  The fastest way to level to 80 is feral bottom line. Go feral and put your points where it will increase your damage output.

I'm shocked that MMORPG would post more of this writer's garbage, considering his last article was just as poorly written and full of errors. Does this website no longer have standards? Or people to proofread these articles?

I'm with dead money on this.  There does not need to be a guide for levelling anything from 1-10 or even 1-50 at this point.   Do refer-a-friend and you can be 70 + inside of a week.

What's with all these wow guides lately? Seriously, the entire concept behind wow was "an mmorpg, but easy enough for the average gamer masses." It's like writing a guide for breathing...

1. In
2. Out

LOL HERP DERP IM HELPFUL!

 I read the 1st part to this so called guide,this part I just scrolled down.

I can only imagine that mmorpg.com are struggling to fill the site to post such nonsense,I could maybe understand a 60-70 guide or even more so a 70-80 guide but come on 1-10?...and with a 2nd part?

The guy that wrote this isnt planning a 600 page book on how to lvl to 80 is he?

Sorry Stradden but this is 1 guide(s) you should have passed on,waste of bandwidth.

If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

Heh, using bear form 10+(until 20 anyhow) is definitely preferable over cow form and casting spells. Bear takes little damage, kills things fairly quickly, and has no downtime. Honestly, has this guy ever played a druid? Not only has he made a guide for...1-10, but he failed at it. For shame sir, for shame.

Anyone notice this hack of a writer shares a last name with the site's managing editor? It must be his little brother; I can't explain how else this garbage is being let through by a paid, "professional" editor. It's not a good premise for a guide to begin with and it's made infinitely worse by shoddy game advice and spelling & grammatical errors. It's written so awkwardly and poorly that I'm wondering if it wasn't outsourced to a Korean gold farmer.

MMORPG.com can do better and they know it.

How absurd, a guide for something that should take you all of an hour or so to complete, all the time being lead by the hand by Blizzard to start with.

I don't think I have seen a dumber article on these boards yet.

Then to continue this to a two part expose really stretches reality.  Come on MMORPG, let's not let this board devolve into rinky dink articles like this.

 In the time taken to write this useless article, a complete newbie to WoW could have levelled to 10.  I can't believe this was published.

 

Maybe he can do an in-depth followup showing the complete min/max gearing for level 10 druids!  The world needs to know!... the World... of Warcraft!

How dare you present him with logic! Don't you understand? He fights epic fights, in epic games, with epic toons....eats epic food and takes epic dumps! He has more e..pic..icity...ness in his little finger than you have in your whole unepic body! - ChicagoCub

/facepalm................seriously man I don't know why you talk to people like they're children,  a monkey can get to level 10 by just clicking a damn mouse.   Maybe a 1-40 guide might be better but um I doubt it.   As well, only a complete douchebag doesn't know what entangling roots does, "hmm let's see if I can make something freeze in place and attack it without getting attacked, I KNOW I'll go melee it......"   yea people aren't that stupid and if you were then that's your problem.   anyway just figure I'd give my opinion about a waste of disk space.

What level you think he made it too.

10
20
30
40
50
Doubt he made it anywhere and just thinks he knows anything
he's just a complete failure, Doesn't matter what level he made it too.
