Original Joana’s Guide Videos – Levels 1-60
Beginning originally as a post on the WoW community forums in response to a power-leveling contest, Joana/Mancow illuminated the WoW community how he was able to quickly level from 1-60 in only 4 days, 20 hours /played. Since then Joana’s Guide for leveling Horde characters has become one of the all-time great paid WoW leveling guides and has quickly risen to dominance as players from around the world have benefited from the insight it offers into the process of power leveling in World of Warcraft.
A series of videos were provided to both prove he achieved his 4-day-20-hour /played time and show other players how Joana Mancow managed to accomplish this feat. If you hadn’t already found these videos on your own, I have embedded them for you below!
Of course, these videos are nothing without the accompanying materials like detailed instructions and maps. And they are a bit out-dated as you can see. I would recommend buying the official Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide as it has been updated with more leveling-helper addons and all the new content from the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.
hey sumthing felt me up u said that it will be done in like 5 days right? but u have the cam on 2x speed so eaventualy it will take like 8-11 days… -,-” isent that cheating on the market and sum1 can complain and if u have more complains people then sum kind of boss wil come look over u and if he agree’s that u a LIAR whit that then u can pay all the custumours back and then u finaly lose youre well youre job o.o ( selling guide’s ) rly i should be ng time be sum more carefuller i know it cost time’s and it is a good guide but what u do is lie people u do all things in 2x speed so the people do 8-11 days about it rly be some anhasutly ng time :/ anyway still nice vids 5/5 …
To clarify, I didn’t make these videos – Joana did. And these are the old school originals from a couple years ago. I posted them this way so they’re all in one place, and you can literally watch WoW’s premier speed-leveler in action from 1-60.
The camera is speeded up in some parts, I recall him saying he did this to keep the videos relatively short, not boring and low-bandwidth. Also, you can’t really expect to simply watch these videos and suddenly get to 60 in five days! This was his best time, the one which won him the leveling contest. And it is /played time, I think it actually took him around two weeks of IRL time.
While I’m sure he and others have since beaten this time, they have the benefit of his written, step-by-step guide and the MetaMap addon. If you really want to train as a speed-leveler you will want this guide and that addon or Cartographer (among other essential mods). Plus, like anything in life, you need to practice to be the best.
Sorry if this confused anyone!
It’s really nice to see how someone plays the game with this speed. Then again, with some skinning the toon would have mount on lv40, but that would have cost some time in the overall performance.
Does anyone know of similar vids on other classes? Hunter is the best PvE leveller, so it would be nice to have some comparison from other classes, too.
Great vids, good fun to watch and it’s always ‘educational’ to see someone else play…
he does in 2x speed so that u dont watch 5 days worth of it do u really wanna see a guy running for 1 day playeD?
Heey any chance of posting the whole video`?
could be great cauze im stuck at 54 , and we can rlly see what he is doing.
I saw a glitch in the video
theres missing some att lvl 15 lvling…
how does he manage to get the aggro to his pet everysingle time without even them comign after him…. always they come after me even with the same pet
Joana’s real name is Paul. Joana is a character name, and actually he writes under a pen name, Bob Norris.
The leveling in 5 days is only 60-70, and it’s with rested xp, so that actually comes out to about 15 days. So 1-70 about a month.
The all time record for leveling is now set for 1-70 as 1 day, 2 hours and 31 minutes (1-70). This is for time played as well as real time. It was a record playing event, which included 2 characters, one of the peeps was Athene (greatest palladin in the world).

Strange fact… Valkor (gold guide), Spugnort (leveling, attunement, gold, and PvP guides) and Joana (leveling guide) all grew up together.
Hejsan jag gillar bajs gör inte du det joana??
This won’t help any longer, since they’ve changed how to level and where you’ll be leveling at now.
