Ding 43


Well I hit lvl 43 as the title indicates. The only thing new that I have to report is a brief review/description of a new mod, of which I am now in possession.

Here is the link to the site: TeamIDemise. Now for you other Heroes, this link occasionally appears in the ads on our guild site. That's how I found this site. And I have to say so far, its a good mod.

What they've done is basically duplicated some functionality of Tom-tom and Lightheaded, and put that on Steroids. You get way-point functionality, step-by-step leveling instructions, and tips for questing ... all right on your world-map screen.

I'll post some screenshots of this in-action soon. For right now, I'll just blather on about how it works :)


For the most part, you install this like any other mod. After that though, you have one extra step to do which is import there data files that modifies locations on your world map for all quests/etc.

After doing this and opening your world map, you see a LOT of little dots all over the place, which all directly correspond to a specific step in a new toolwindow on the right of your world-map. The other big difference is that the world map is now windowed, instead of full-screen. Which is a feature that I actually like.

So down your right-hand side of the world map you have a list of steps to go through. And you basically do what it says. Supposedly, its the most efficient way (according to TeamIDemise) that you can level. So follow the steps, which seem to have very little grinding mixed in. The steps even tell you when you should level.

The cost is $35 and the mod only covers levels 1-50 right now. After that you are limited to an HTML version of it that they have on their site, so you'd have to ALT-TAB in game to review your steps.

They are working on getting levels 51-70 into the mod too. And also, this mod is geared toward the alliance side, which was nice to see. They have all starting zones for all races (levels 1-10) so you can begin anywhere you wish. And lastly, it doesn't matter where you are in the game when you get this mod, you can pick right up with it and go from there.

It is pretty cool. More to come on this later. My new goal this week is to hit level 46, using this mod before I take off this weekend to visit in-laws in Iowa.

Catch you later!

I'll just use Jame's Leveling Guide and LocationFu. Both are free.

Sure ... well... free is find and all if you well like ... free stuff (embarrassed shrug) ... I guess I shoulda asked around before I bought. :)

btw - TomTom and Lightheaded are also free. They work really well with another free mod called DoubleWide (which makes your quest log double-wide on screen and is pretty cool).

That is tight, iv read up on it and it totally like its worth 35 bucks. I currently use lightheaded and tomtom but to have all the info which lightheaded has and put into order telling you whats the fastest way to lvl is worth the 35 bucks alone.
