Synopsis
"The World of Warcraft Master Guide, 2nd Edition" is what "World of Warcraft" fans have been waiting for. It features completely updated information on class strategies, content for all skill levels, quest data, professional data, maps and more, with essential stats and updated strategies for each of the 8 races and 9 classes for both the Horde and Alliance. Plus, the game will never be the same from month to month as a dedicated live team will create a constant stream of new adventures to undertake, lands to explore, and monsters to vanquish. This is a must-have for any "World of Warcraft collection."

Customer Reviews

Good but now old
At the time i got this book (before the expansion) i did indeed find it very useful. I already had a grasp of the game basics so used to book to fill in the gaps really.

I personally think it is good just for the maps of every region and a full list of every spell/ability for each class and what level you get then - and followed by a brief description and even sometimes what they are really good for. The maps are good too, so you know where places are without having to first uncover them by physically going there in game.

I must note that since the expansion this book is in need of a upgrade, the PvP has changed from what the book says, new races, new professions, all missing. If they bring out a third addition of this book i will definiately get it!

not very good, bad layout and ordering
I agree with the other reviewers that say this is not a very good guide.
It is very difficult to find the information that you want.
There is no index, the contents page is very poor and the overall layout is not very good. If your are new to the game then the first day sections are ok and the maps of each area are useful but lack certain details that mean you cannot always use them to find your way round. Also a whole region (thousand needles) is left out.
Some basic information appears to be left out, profession training, levels required for the next advancement and how to find the actual trainers which is quite important in the game.
On the whole you will find sites such a thottbot and allakhazam more useful.
I would say dont buy this and look online for the information you need.

Waste of money
Well, as another reviewer has said, this guide is just an updated version of the first World of Warcraft Official Strategy Guide, however the title "Master Guide" tricks people and makes them buy it. Other than that, MMORPG's are subject to change and therefore the guides will get outdated after a while, however considering Blizzard will not change WoW and will only focus on development of Burning Crusade, it is very likely that this guide stays updated for a long while.
World of Warcraft Master Guide is a good piece of information and is recommended to any player who have just started playing WoW.
