What I Look for in an ESO Leveling Guide

You can find a lot of stuff online about what makes the best game guide, what you need in a good leveling guide, yada, yada, yada.
Look, every player is different, we all approach gaming differently. There is no such thing as a perfect game guide and what makes a great leveling guide for me may make you cringe. So I'm not going to try to tell you that what I look for in a leveling guide is what you should look for to. I will tell you why I look for what I do, and if makes sense to you, then you can look for it to.

Specific focus
The idea of having a leveling guide that can cover every character of every class in every faction is a nice one. One of those works-in-theory type things. In reality, it's way to easy for those guides to spread themselves too thin. So when I'm checking out leveling guides I'm looking for ones that are specific. Leveling guide for Ebonheart Pact, leveling guide for DragonKnight, that kind of thing. Yeah, it means if I decide to make a Daggerfall Covenant character next I need to get a new guide. It's worth it to know that the guide I'm getting now is focused on telling me what I need to know for this character.

Not too focused on leveling
ESO is different from most MMOs. If you are looking into getting a leveling guide you've probably heard that way to often by now. But it matters. See, in most MMOs a leveling guide can be all about, you know, leveling. If an ESO leveling guide focuses exclusively on leveling, and the best way to get XP and all, it's not going to tell me half of what I need to know to reach level 50 with a really bad-ass character. Half of powering up in ESO is done outside of the leveling mechanic, through gathering skill points, leveling up skills (which is completely separate from leveling up your character), and picking morph abilities. If a leveling guide doesn't cover this stuff, but spends pages on which quest lines will give me the most XP to level fastest...it's kind of wasting my time.

Spends time on more than solo play
Everyone who is familiar with MMOs knows that soloing quests is, hands down, the fastest way to level up. But PvP and dungeons and group play are all part of the fun of an MMO. So I want my ESO leveling guide to at take a few pages to tell me what I can do while I'm not soloing to speed my leveling. Sure, soloing is more effective, but there are still things I can do to level faster while hitting the dungeons, so don't just ignore half the game.

That's it, the three things (aside from generally knowing what it's talking about) that I look for in an ESO leveling guide. Why don't you leave a comment with the kind of stuff you look for?
