1-10 leveling is pretty much linear in every starting zone so differences would probably be minimal even if you leveled without an addon. Leveling 10-20 might have shown a better picture.
I had this same idea. 20-30 would give a much better picture of speed because that's when the game opens up. 1-20 is just so linear that optimizing it is pretty pointless....
level 12 what weird spot to pick to test the times, almost like 1 addon stops just before the finish line to take a future time saving detour that won't be counted and the addon which uses death runs stops being a thing past level 11. Hmm. What a strange spot to pick that surely had no bias involved at all.
There is a part in the dwarf starting zone guide on Zygor that has you climb a mountain and die by jumping off a cliff into the wetlands zone to get to Menethil Harbor quicker. So, there is at least one instance where Zygor uses the death mechanics to cut travel times, but that was the only one that I saw.
I think it looks like Zygor was not just focusing on the next level but the next bunch of levels and gear etc. sending you up for the FPs and to kill things for the last level seems like a setup for the rest of leveling to 20 and more
I know I'm 7 months late to the party but I'd like to add my 2 cents for anyone trying to decide between these two great guides. I will preface by saying that I've used both guides primarily for Retail WoW, not Classic WoW, and I haven't touched Hardcore at all, so my advice is for Retail players mostly. IMHO, the key difference between the two guides, is that RestedXP is pretty much on rails. They don't appear to provide different options for leveling (if so, I haven't found it). Their focus is on pure speed and no matter which character you're leveling regardless of race or class, you'll be funneled into the same path after you finish your starting zone. So if you are an altoholic, like me, just know that you will be repeating the same process for each and every character. Zygor on the other hand will let you choose a Chromie Time campaign and then will steer you on the respective leveling path for that specific campaign. This is a game-changer (pun intended) when leveling alts as you don't have to repeat the same entire leveling process over and over again. Zygor will also keep you on the standard leveling path after you finish your starting zone if you so choose and don't select an alternate guide. With Zygor, the player is allowed to choose from multiple guide paths within the Zygor Leveling menu. I've only seen a slight mixture of the BFA and WoD path offered by RestedXP with no apparent option to choose something different. And yes, I realize that is probably intentional because RestedXP is giving you the absolute fastest path which requires a specific campaign direction. So, in addition to what you mentioned in your review video, the above advice is something to keep in mind. In my experience, RestedXP has the slightly faster leveling process of the two, so if your goal is to level your character as fast as possible, you should probably go with RestedXP. However, if you want to level additional characters and change the leveling process up a bit and don't need to level in record time, Zygor holds a clear advantage in that regard. Finally, as you mentioned, Zygor offers a lot more in their addon beyond leveling at the cost of a recurring monthly fee, while RestedXP is a one-time fee, so it's a one-and-done without the worry of a subscription. Hope this helps those of you who are on the fence. YMMV.
I think what a lot of people don't realize is there is a large group of people who just like to play games while watching TV or listening to something and don't want to have to focus much on the game, but they don't want to play simple puzzle games all day. Having an addon removes having to think much.
RestedXP has parts in wrath leveling where you log out on certain objects and when you log back in you'll be in a different location, makes it fast to turn in things as you'll basically be teleporting.
Yeah, I was blown away by that. Logging out on a very specific mushroom in a cave just to get teleported to the spirit healer location without actually dying.
Personally been using both for now for roughly 3 months and have used both in Classic and Retail. Rested is definitely better for leveling as each guide is tailored to each class and race. While Zygor is a general cover all route. However I do like all the other features Zygor has like Find Class, Profession trainers, Flight Masters, Mailbox, Repair whatever you may need it can guide you to the closest one. So agreed depending on the type of player you are they both have great pro's and cons.
I think what ended up selling me on Zygor is that it's literally mindless. I barely have to pay attention. lol One of the things I love about Zygor is the ability to keybind quest items (like quest items that you have to use on mobs, blow something up, etc). I think RestedXP may have added this feature, but it was after I tried using it.
I have Zygor and it gives me the option to let mobs kill you and use rez sickness for quick travel. Pretty sure it's an option you can select/deselect. Been thinking of switching though, as I have started playing more hardcore and the RestedXP has that as an option.
If I understand correctly, you have to pay individually for each guide in rested xp, I dont know if monthly or not. You need to pay only once (monthly) for every guide that they offer.
At 9:30 you talk about Zygor asking you to pick up the flight path and then grind. This is actually a time savings later on. This is a feature of how the leveling guide works. So, had you gone on further you would have found that this wasn't in fact wasted time, although in the short team it may have seemed to be that way.
Great video by the way!!! I actually use Zygor myself and have been using it for about a year now. The cool thing is that they actually do include the death runs now to make things faster so they must have seen your video and decided to take part in that cool trick lol. Guessing with that in play it would have been a lot closer of a race but to be honest I actually like the fact it wasn't that far off and you were also able to connect all those FP's along the way which in turn will speed things up overall for traveling moving forward.
I feel like the Zygor guide would still be better because of the gold making aspect of it. Even at $10 a month (or $8.33 a month if you buy a year) you'll still make out better just on the gold making part of it.
Honestly it should have stopped before the zygor run to Durotar. mainly because it's time you're gonna waste later on anyway using Rested XP, it's just a matter of priority. A few minutes isn't really crazy. Zygor, i think, is essentially Joana's guide. I've tried both and recall them being extremely similar. Zygor also has death skips, but maybe not for Mulgore. Still, i might switch from Zygor to RestedXP since i think Zygor is a bit too intrusive, especially at max level.
Zygor states on its site somewhere that it is not meant for speed :P I have been using Zygor since Cata at least. Zygor has come a really long ways. I still ahve some of hte legacy guides from before the subscriptions. but as the addon got much bigger and started including everything, it added the sub and honestly its worth it if you are an alt nut, but outside of leveling i just use it when im stuck on a quest or something. It tends to not get bugs fixed very quickly and its annoying in dungeons, there is no way to just close the guide prompt asking if you want to load the dungeon guides xD (gotta wait for it to time out)
Zygor is give you the most important quest where you will thanks you did later in the game. Next time you can check out and see way zygor point you to the places it does. It always have a good reason for it. Check it out.
how about you keep on leveling these two until level 25-30? you could see if the barrens run makes a difrence later on and get a much clearer picture. so round 2 instead of (or alongside) RXP vs [newcommer]?
Zygor is a hard sell for me with the monthly sub. I'm already begrudgingly paying a sub for WoW so I'm not gonna pay monthly just for a guide if there's an alternative that only has a one-time purchase. I'm really tired of software requiring a monthly sub when it has no real reason to, everyone seems to be doing it now.
I have tested both and I just love RXP one as it comes with hardcore questing too so you can do the game a little harder with HCmode and add some extra selfmade achivment to make the leveling a little harder.
With the limits of this review I think if you’d done Rxp first and Zygor after, you’d have still seen the same results. I have both and Zygor is a VASTLY superior guidance system. If you’re like me and hate wasting money then just go straight for Zygor. I’ve even used 3 accounts at the same time launching them from a macro and had the guide available on all 3.
People need to understand all these other half ass guides are just for gold or quest. Zygor has so much more! Example I can click on anyone’s mount or pet and zygor will tel me where to farm it and with a guide Zygor has been out since BC so they have a lot more time in. They’re also in ESO
I like Zygor and the cleanness to UI just can not afford a sub to wow and a sub to a add on but if money was not a issue it looks worth it to me. Appreciate the upload Nixxiom
I've just hit level 41 (wotlk) with RestedXP and have abandoned it. It's sending me to me zones to hand in quests I haven't got or pick up quest that aren't available. On one quest it sent me to pick up a chest that wasn't there. After a wowhead search it was in a cave with the entrance some distance away. Hardly a fast leveling guide if it tells you none of this. It can be good but soo many errors. I've used Zygor before and while it doesn't claim to be the fastest it's a lot better than RestedXP
this mighjt also blow your mind, but imagine not everyone being a scum bag. and actually paying for something. and supporting peoples hard work. insane concept
@@TwinTurboOnly maybe, but again, look at the prices... greed... I have both premium zygor and all imports for rxp.. didn't pay one penny for any of it :)
TL;DR = RestedXP is faster for leveling Unless you are doing a full 1-80 for both guides you are wasting your time, the leveling path is pretty much the same for both guides until you get higher level, terrible experiment. From someone using both simultaneously comparing the differences, Zygor is better overall if you are not in a hurry to hit max level as it has way more content for one price instead of making you pay for each module, RestedXP is definitely faster but it throws you into mobs that are harder to kill because it keeps you in zones closer to your level. Also, RestedXP has the SAME leveling path for everyone, and very few guides outside that path, whereas with Zygor you can select from any zone and it will auto detect your progress.
One thing I don't get about RestedXP (at least for WoW Classic Era) is it fancies itself a speed leveling guide but will send you on quests that are better skipped if speed leveling is the goal. One example is quests with abysmal droprates, like the one in ashenvale where you get the glowing soul gem, you literally gain a level or two waiting for that thing to drop and you could probably gain a lot more xp by continuing to complete quests while killing things. Another thing is it has you do elite quests that it encourages you to try it over and over again solo until you get it (which is a waste of time as dying over and over again doesn't get you any xp) and you could find a group but that takes extra time. The other thing is after the first several times you resurrect at the spirit healer you are weak for 10 minutes, something that doesn't really lend itself to fast leveling, so unless running is going to take more than 10 minutes or you're going to spend a significant time in the town you're going to (and often it just has you pick up one or two quests there) it doesn't make sense.
Good video but I feel like 1 route (warrior Tauren) isn't enough to get the full scope, ofc you don't need the full scope to get to your conclusion but still, worth pointing out for those people still on the fence.
Having used zygor for years…trying to get that tasty loremaster title. I will say the auto equip gear feature can be really buggy, or it tells you to go get this piece of gear over on the other side of the world. Which can get annoying. So i always disable it.
I totally agree with you on the gear feature being so buggy it is useless, at least in classic era and wrath. Every time I turn it back on I very soon regret it. Years ago it was a very useful feature but Zygor no longer has the polish for the classic modes as apparently most of their team concentrates on Retail. I used to love the detailed travel directions, those are now mostly a straight line pointing from where you are to the arrival point regardless of what impassible terrain lies between.
I think a one time purchase is just superior to a subscription especially one as overpriced as zygor. I have used it in the past but it is not worth the steep price imo.
zygor is twice as good as rested. i tried them both. i actually have on one wotlk account 45.55 lvl 80tis. and yes i can prove this . (goal is 50x80) zygor is bomb. i raid a lot so i will need some time to get the 50 to 80
restedxp is just a small addon . dude zygor's addon is like a complete program you install from a .exe that gives you a desktop program and then when you loadup zygor in game and see all the features it has its nuts. literally everything for world of warcraft from proffesions to character gear to reputation to dungeon guides. loot guides gear guides best route . it also gives you a arrow to where u need to go it has full automation for accepting quests taking flight paths like man this thing puts arrows where u gotta go over the mobs heads on the map. lol its insane man zygors is way better
Zygor two times in wow classic have cleared my whole questlog. Abandoned all quests for me around level 40-45 on two different chars. It's a frustrating pain when it happends. But when it works it works. Used RestedXP classic tho and I like the interface a lot better! :) Both work, it's all about taste and experance I think.
Zygore sets you up for future quests as well .. go higher than lvl 12 and you'll see .... as someone who has used both I can honestly say zygore is superior .... both are good tho so it's more of a preference I guess
Rested now has recommendations for gear. Both what will sell the most and what’s recommended for class. Additionally. The nail in the coffin for zygor is the monthly payments. Rested is a one and done deal. Not even close. Much better value.
2:03 "RestedXP is a pay once guide." Shows a monthly subscription for RXP. 🤦🤦♂🤦♀ I _hate_ subscription things but when you add up all the addons for RestedXP (which are subs) for you to get the same value as Zygor I have to go with Zygor. Something important to note too is that I bought Zygor years ago when it was pay once, now it's subscription. When new expansion come out RXP will charge you for them or they'll do the same as Zygor and add a sub service. With Zygor I get everything so it just seems like the better deal. Especially when I can just cancel Zygor when I get bored of WoW (again), with RXP I'll have to buy the new expansion for four times the cost. It's just too much compartmentalization with RXP; I want it all so I can level one day, make gold on the weekend, etc.
I don't understand people that try to speedrun content I mean the way you play is subjective but if I ever feel like I'm wasting my time and try to fast track through something then I'd just stop playing
I picked up Zygor to try and simplify my shaman class mount from legion. Fucking useless. The best part is you cant find out how useless it is until you pay for it.
$10pm forever or a one-off fee = one off fee wins. The levelling routes entirely depend on the author, not the mod itself, so it gets worse. Painful, I cant make up my mind.
I'd say Zygore and RestedXP are both winners, seeing as they're both popular and successful enough to be gettin' people's money... and free advertising from a fairly large YT channel.
People use apps to play the game for them. How can people with all these addons complain retail is too easy!! Leveling up is pretty easy I don't know why you'd be so desperate to cap but don't know the game well enough to level up. If you know so little about WoW then leveling is a good time learn.
I'm wondering if one of these two will respect different chromie times. I'm an altoholic and I dont want to level each toon through the same zone. So if I choose WotLK, I don't want the addon to tell me to go to westfall. I want the fastest route through Northend instead, even if it's slower this way. So, can someone tell me if one of those (or another one) can do that?
Zygor will provide guides depending on which Chromie time you choose so you don't have to do the same levelling content all the time. RestedXP will not, it funnels you down the same path eventually every time... it's potentially a faster path but after you've done it 2 or 3 times you might get fed up. I question whether or not it's the fastest path it could be though. To me it just seems like RXP copied a large chunk of Azeroth Auto Pilot's route, which I never considered to be fully optimised at all. Zygor isn't optimal either whichever route you choose but using it feels waaaay more like you're on auto. Zygor will also add any profession quests you pick up into the current guide. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you want because it will prioritise them immediately and doing them immediately is completely suboptimal. It will send you all over the place on a 60% speed ground mount and won't tell you to grab any nearby quests or flight points you will need later or anything like that. Draenor is especially bad for this. You can of course just skip those steps in the Zygor window and do them later. Overall, Zygor is the much better guide app. Zygor auto equipping your gear using current spec stat weights can't be understated either, that makes things much smoother. RestedXP has a number of issues, such as it's route being "faster" depending on many RNG things like rares, nodes and chests being available along the way. Sometimes, RXP doesn't accept certain quests or auto select quest rewards like it is supposed to. RXP also doesn't provide your current objective under the guide arrow so you need to be watching/reading two different things on screen. With Zygor you can practically ignore the written guide box and simply do what the arrow says. Sounds like that might not be a big deal but it is in practice. RXP also has some tracking problems. For example (this is a real example), it will tell you to kill 5 bears and check if a rare has spawned nearby whilst doing it but when you check the rare area it skips to the next step even if you didn't kill all 5 bears. There's many instances where that kind of thing can happen. RXP doesn't account for you using Scouting Map toys either whereas Zygor will tell you visit a flight master so it can learn which flight points you have. Zygor will also properly direct you back to where you are supposed to be using portals, zeppelins, boats, flight points, etc. if you happen to take a massive detour for whatever reason, RXP does nothing. At the end of the day RestedXP is practically the same route as Azeroth Auto Pilot up until it sends you to BfA instead of Draenor in the last 40% of the guide. It has a few clever tricks thrown in that provide minimal speed gains, such as adding in Darkmoon Faire when it's available and getting you to kill yourself so you don't have to run somewhere... but AAP is free. Zygor just lets you play whichever part of the game you want, guides you through it in a 'mostly' sensible way and tries to avoid quests that 'really' waste your time but the app itself, in terms of features and functionally, is much better than RXP and AAP. This all applies to Retail. I haven't used any of them on Classic versions. I apologise that this turned into a wall of text lol.
Why in the hell would I pay anyone on a monthly/yearly basis, for a "guide" for leveling. I never understood that, nor the people that actually pay, which seems like a decent number of people do, given than Zygor has existed for many years now. Just play the damn game.. with a guide or without it, just do the quests (which nowadays are CLEARLY marked on the map, not like in the "old" days where you had to use wowhead and the other site with quests before it (can't remember its name)), it will take maybe a couple of hours slower.
1-10 leveling is pretty much linear in every starting zone so differences would probably be minimal even if you leveled without an addon. Leveling 10-20 might have shown a better picture.
Yeah as much as I love nix, this was a bad execution on the differences. Would've been a fantastic idea too.
I'd say even 20-30. 10-20 there are only so many zones to do. 20-30 really opens up in terms of zones.
I had this same idea. 20-30 would give a much better picture of speed because that's when the game opens up. 1-20 is just so linear that optimizing it is pretty pointless....
@@MrSanctuarysAlso just the scaling of it. Leveling 20% faster from say 20 to 40 is a much bigger time-save than leveling 20% faster from 1 to 20.
Do one 12-25 same toons.
You can’t use 1-12 as a metric. Like you said, having the flight path to mulgore might’ve saved you a lot of time in the future.
level 12 what weird spot to pick to test the times, almost like 1 addon stops just before the finish line to take a future time saving detour that won't be counted and the addon which uses death runs stops being a thing past level 11.

Amen to this ☝️☝️☝️☝️
the winner is everyone who has fun
The winner is the person who gets the add-ons without paying.
I make more money in the hours that i would be lvling. Then the cost of paying for a lvling boost. So i think its a win win situation

Zygor used to be a buy each guide before it was monthly. I wouldnt be surprised that rested xp does the same after another year or something.
Just tried both Zygor and RestedXP. RestedXP completely missed a starting quest in Shadowglen and Zygor had the resurrection trick, so...
I've used Zygor for years and I love it. Best for achievement hunting. Makes it sooo much easier and faster.

I like Zygor and the cleanness to UI just can not afford a sub to wow and a sub to a add on but if money was not a issue it looks worth it to me. Appreciate the upload Nixxiom
There are cracked completely free versions of zygor and restedxp that gets all the updates. On a certain forum, for pvpers, that are elite.
I've just hit level 41 (wotlk) with RestedXP and have abandoned it. It's sending me to me zones to hand in quests I haven't got or pick up quest that aren't available. On one quest it sent me to pick up a chest that wasn't there. After a wowhead search it was in a cave with the entrance some distance away. Hardly a fast leveling guide if it tells you none of this. It can be good but soo many errors. I've used Zygor before and while it doesn't claim to be the fastest it's a lot better than RestedXP
It still blows my mind people pay for Zygor. Yarr-harr.
Ahoy captain
this mighjt also blow your mind, but imagine not everyone being a scum bag. and actually paying for something. and supporting peoples hard work. insane concept
@@TwinTurboOnly maybe, but again, look at the prices... greed... I have both premium zygor and all imports for rxp.. didn't pay one penny for any of it :)
TL;DR = RestedXP is faster for leveling
Unless you are doing a full 1-80 for both guides you are wasting your time, the leveling path is pretty much the same for both guides until you get higher level, terrible experiment. From someone using both simultaneously comparing the differences, Zygor is better overall if you are not in a hurry to hit max level as it has way more content for one price instead of making you pay for each module, RestedXP is definitely faster but it throws you into mobs that are harder to kill because it keeps you in zones closer to your level. Also, RestedXP has the SAME leveling path for everyone, and very few guides outside that path, whereas with Zygor you can select from any zone and it will auto detect your progress.
super appreciate this test! thanks!
I can't believe payed addons are actually allowed. Blizz should crack down on that shit.
One thing I don't get about RestedXP (at least for WoW Classic Era) is it fancies itself a speed leveling guide but will send you on quests that are better skipped if speed leveling is the goal. One example is quests with abysmal droprates, like the one in ashenvale where you get the glowing soul gem, you literally gain a level or two waiting for that thing to drop and you could probably gain a lot more xp by continuing to complete quests while killing things. Another thing is it has you do elite quests that it encourages you to try it over and over again solo until you get it (which is a waste of time as dying over and over again doesn't get you any xp) and you could find a group but that takes extra time. The other thing is after the first several times you resurrect at the spirit healer you are weak for 10 minutes, something that doesn't really lend itself to fast leveling, so unless running is going to take more than 10 minutes or you're going to spend a significant time in the town you're going to (and often it just has you pick up one or two quests there) it doesn't make sense.
I've been using Zygor for a few years now and they've added the "kill yourself" option not long after this video was released.
I use zygor but all my other friends who play use restedXP, they have been trying to get me to play with rested for so long
@@kevind1980 lol u seem mad
1 to 60 restedxp will win with a few hours, but having Zygor having multiple leveling routes open also for professions it makes it almost unbeatable
Good video but I feel like 1 route (warrior Tauren) isn't enough to get the full scope, ofc you don't need the full scope to get to your conclusion but still, worth pointing out for those people still on the fence.
@Nixxiom the dying suggestion is actually included in zygor as well , at least for alliance going to wetlands.
love this Vid but would like to see you take them to 20 at some point and see how if at all the differents is.
Having used zygor for years…trying to get that tasty loremaster title. I will say the auto equip gear feature can be really buggy, or it tells you to go get this piece of gear over on the other side of the world. Which can get annoying. So i always disable it.
I totally agree with you on the gear feature being so buggy it is useless, at least in classic era and wrath. Every time I turn it back on I very soon regret it. Years ago it was a very useful feature but Zygor no longer has the polish for the classic modes as apparently most of their team concentrates on Retail. I used to love the detailed travel directions, those are now mostly a straight line pointing from where you are to the arrival point regardless of what impassible terrain lies between.
I think a one time purchase is just superior to a subscription especially one as overpriced as zygor. I have used it in the past but it is not worth the steep price imo.
zygor is twice as good as rested. i tried them both. i actually have on one wotlk account 45.55 lvl 80tis. and yes i can prove this . (goal is 50x80) zygor is bomb. i raid a lot so i will need some time to get the 50 to 80
restedxp is just a small addon . dude zygor's addon is like a complete program you install from a .exe that gives you a desktop program and then when you loadup zygor in game and see all the features it has its nuts. literally everything for world of warcraft from proffesions to character gear to reputation to dungeon guides. loot guides gear guides best route . it also gives you a arrow to where u need to go it has full automation for accepting quests taking flight paths like man this thing puts arrows where u gotta go over the mobs heads on the map. lol its insane man zygors is way better
I personally prefer using Zygor. I get all guides for every expansion ever. RestXP makes you pay for every single one and they charge ALOT.
Zygor has couple of guide breaking bugs. Had to stop using it around lvl35.
Zygor two times in wow classic have cleared my whole questlog. Abandoned all quests for me around level 40-45 on two different chars. It's a frustrating pain when it happends. But when it works it works. Used RestedXP classic tho and I like the interface a lot better! :) Both work, it's all about taste and experance I think.
RestedXP for fast leveling. Zygor for achievements, pets and mount.
Zygore sets you up for future quests as well .. go higher than lvl 12 and you'll see .... as someone who has used both I can honestly say zygore is superior .... both are good tho so it's more of a preference I guess
Rested now has recommendations for gear. Both what will sell the most and what’s recommended for class. Additionally. The nail in the coffin for zygor is the monthly payments. Rested is a one and done deal. Not even close. Much better value.
bro used 1-10 on classic as a reference point. what a goober.
2:03 "RestedXP is a pay once guide." Shows a monthly subscription for RXP. 🤦🤦♂🤦♀
I _hate_ subscription things but when you add up all the addons for RestedXP (which are subs) for you to get the same value as Zygor I have to go with Zygor.
Something important to note too is that I bought Zygor years ago when it was pay once, now it's subscription. When new expansion come out RXP will charge you for them or they'll do the same as Zygor and add a sub service. With Zygor I get everything so it just seems like the better deal. Especially when I can just cancel Zygor when I get bored of WoW (again), with RXP I'll have to buy the new expansion for four times the cost. It's just too much compartmentalization with RXP; I want it all so I can level one day, make gold on the weekend, etc.
Put rested xp against the classic joanas. Or even the adding azroth auto pilot.
what about Joana's guides or even Azeroth Auto Pilot
I bought RestedXP and ended up going back to Zygor. Zygor literally made the whole experience mindless.
Pirate RestedXP
selling paid addons are against TOS anyway
Rested EXP does have a auto accept reward system, but it's fairly new so maybe you made the video before.
I started playing in 2008 and I never once new about addons until about 3 years ago. I'll never look back. lol
man you must live under a rock
Wait til you find out about macros and women.
I don't understand people that try to speedrun content
I mean the way you play is subjective but if I ever feel like I'm wasting my time and try to fast track through something then I'd just stop playing
zygor hands down better compared to rested. got both. Rested has not dungeon quests route
Imagine not pirating either of them
why would you run this addon in Wotlk classic, and not classic wow, the timers of 1hour 30 dont hold up, since woltk leveling is alot faster.
Im guessing the paid sponsor is the winner
I picked up Zygor to try and simplify my shaman class mount from legion. Fucking useless. The best part is you cant find out how useless it is until you pay for it.
Love stuff like this - never get's old, keepem comin you big se...oh umm yes, please Sir could we have some more
$10pm forever or a one-off fee = one off fee wins. The levelling routes entirely depend on the author, not the mod itself, so it gets worse. Painful, I cant make up my mind.
I can’t believe they forgot the Zeppelin
Homie only played to level 12 because he didn't want to have to pay for the full version but says its for the "intro area" X'D
Do you recommend the dying tricks in hardcore to?
I'd say Zygore and RestedXP are both winners, seeing as they're both popular and successful enough to be gettin' people's money... and free advertising from a fairly large YT channel.
1-10 is not a good representation.
secondly you can just dead walk on zygor too if you want.
What about dugi guides vs rested?
As an avid zygor user, I am confused as while leveling my dranei shaman, it had me kill myself many times to save time. Strange
Idk. Azeroth Pilot Reloaded is free, and it is super fast too. Auto quest turn ins and such.
When you die, your hardcore run is over.
rested xp also has options for hardcore so that helps 2
Now do this on Hardcore, where RXP's biggest advantage is gone.....
Azeroth auto pilot is free is super fast, seems way better!
Can you use the 1-80 guide on the 1-60 vanilla servers?
Im currently using zygor, and leveling WoLK as a space cow shaman, when i was in the starting zone it had me die for faster traveling a few times.
could you do a video on how to install rested xp. At the moment looking for a video on how to install rested xp to wow
Bro i searched this video a day before he made it lol
this is cap ive been a zygore user for over 5 years and can tell u the first 4 things he said were different are in fact false
People use apps to play the game for them. How can people with all these addons complain retail is too easy!! Leveling up is pretty easy I don't know why you'd be so desperate to cap but don't know the game well enough to level up. If you know so little about WoW then leveling is a good time learn.
Which one is a hardcore guide
Without watching the video im sure restedXP wins because they promote him...
What was the point of this video? Why only level 12?
I'm wondering if one of these two will respect different chromie times. I'm an altoholic and I dont want to level each toon through the same zone. So if I choose WotLK, I don't want the addon to tell me to go to westfall. I want the fastest route through Northend instead, even if it's slower this way.
So, can someone tell me if one of those (or another one) can do that?
Zygor will provide guides depending on which Chromie time you choose so you don't have to do the same levelling content all the time. RestedXP will not, it funnels you down the same path eventually every time... it's potentially a faster path but after you've done it 2 or 3 times you might get fed up. I question whether or not it's the fastest path it could be though. To me it just seems like RXP copied a large chunk of Azeroth Auto Pilot's route, which I never considered to be fully optimised at all. Zygor isn't optimal either whichever route you choose but using it feels waaaay more like you're on auto.
Zygor will also add any profession quests you pick up into the current guide. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you want because it will prioritise them immediately and doing them immediately is completely suboptimal. It will send you all over the place on a 60% speed ground mount and won't tell you to grab any nearby quests or flight points you will need later or anything like that. Draenor is especially bad for this. You can of course just skip those steps in the Zygor window and do them later.
Overall, Zygor is the much better guide app. Zygor auto equipping your gear using current spec stat weights can't be understated either, that makes things much smoother. RestedXP has a number of issues, such as it's route being "faster" depending on many RNG things like rares, nodes and chests being available along the way. Sometimes, RXP doesn't accept certain quests or auto select quest rewards like it is supposed to. RXP also doesn't provide your current objective under the guide arrow so you need to be watching/reading two different things on screen. With Zygor you can practically ignore the written guide box and simply do what the arrow says. Sounds like that might not be a big deal but it is in practice. RXP also has some tracking problems. For example (this is a real example), it will tell you to kill 5 bears and check if a rare has spawned nearby whilst doing it but when you check the rare area it skips to the next step even if you didn't kill all 5 bears. There's many instances where that kind of thing can happen. RXP doesn't account for you using Scouting Map toys either whereas Zygor will tell you visit a flight master so it can learn which flight points you have. Zygor will also properly direct you back to where you are supposed to be using portals, zeppelins, boats, flight points, etc. if you happen to take a massive detour for whatever reason, RXP does nothing.
At the end of the day RestedXP is practically the same route as Azeroth Auto Pilot up until it sends you to BfA instead of Draenor in the last 40% of the guide. It has a few clever tricks thrown in that provide minimal speed gains, such as adding in Darkmoon Faire when it's available and getting you to kill yourself so you don't have to run somewhere... but AAP is free. Zygor just lets you play whichever part of the game you want, guides you through it in a 'mostly' sensible way and tries to avoid quests that 'really' waste your time but the app itself, in terms of features and functionally, is much better than RXP and AAP.
This all applies to Retail. I haven't used any of them on Classic versions. I apologise that this turned into a wall of text lol.
Why in the hell would I pay anyone on a monthly/yearly basis, for a "guide" for leveling. I never understood that, nor the people that actually pay, which seems like a decent number of people do, given than Zygor has existed for many years now.
Just play the damn game.. with a guide or without it, just do the quests (which nowadays are CLEARLY marked on the map, not like in the "old" days where you had to use wowhead and the other site with quests before it (can't remember its name)), it will take maybe a couple of hours slower.
The fastest way to Level is the way that is Most fun for you 😉
Press F for Jaime's leveling guides.
rested wins battle zygor's overall stuff it does just wins the war
I remember corpse crawling all the time
1 to 12? That's an awfully comparison. Idk why youtube put this in my auto play, but oof bud.
Rested xp vs johanas leveling guide
