Zhaitan Guild Wars 2 Strategy Guide Review

Guild Wars 2 Zhaitan Guide

Zhaitan Guide is another new all-in-one Guild Wars 2 strategy guide. The Zhaitan Guide is similar in style to Guild Wars 2 Secrets, though providing some different content and being lower priced. Much like with many other online products these days this strategy guide is a bit over-hyped and marketed with horrible infomerical style voodoo marketing techniques. However, we will skip past the marketing hype and take a look at what this guide is really all about.

This strategy guide is composed of numerous sections with guides that cover all the major areas of the Guild Wars 2 game. There is a lot of content provided since Guild Wars 2 is a large and detailed game. So let's take a look at the main areas of this guide:

Power Leveling Guide: This section of the Zhaitan Guide features a step-by-step leveling guide customized for each of the Guild Wars 2 professions. Detailed information on quests are provided to help you quickly and more effeciently level your characters.

Perfect Builds Guide: The perfect builds guide includes all the latest and most effective Guild Wars 2 builds for each of the eight professions. Numerous builds are included here in detailed guides which explain all the necessary weapons, skills and trait choices for each style of build.

Crafting Guide: This section includes detailed crafting guides, materials information, and recipes for each of the crafting disciplines: Armorsmith, Artificer, Chef, Huntsman, Jeweler, Leatherworker, Tailor, and Weaponsmith. The information contained in this guide alone can save you a ton of time and wasted materials.

PvP Guide: This guide is for those that like to battle other players in PvP and includes all the info on building and gearing your characters for PvP. Player vs player strategies are included for all the games professions and build styles.

Dungeon Walkthrough Guide: This is a very handy are of the Zaitan guide that provides walkthroughs and loot locations for the huge dungeons in Guild Wars 2.

Boss Guide: Profession specific strategies for defeating bosses are included in this area of the guide.
Ultimate Gold Guide: If you want to know how to increase your gold and get better items & equipment in Guild Wars 2, this guide provides the strategies and details on how to do it.

Ultimate Gold Guide: If you want to know how to increase your gold and get better items & equipment in Guild Wars 2, this guide provides the strategies and details on how to do it.

Personally, I feel that this guide offers a good amount of useful content and covers all the necessary bases. The power leveling, builds, dungeon walkthroughs, gold making, and crafting areas of the guide are full of very useful content. I also like that this guide is cheaper to purchase than Guild Wars 2 Secrets and provides some similar content/sections. However, I do feel it is kind of difficult to compare each guide because both guides also provide some different content - it is like looking at the same picture but from different angles. However, if you are looking for a good strategy guide for a cheaper price then this guide may be the best choice for you.

Guild Wars 2 Secrets Strategy Guide Review

 
Guild Wars 2 Secrets Strategy Guide


Now that Guild Wars 2 is finally out I have been having a blast playing it -- it's just a really fun and awesome game! But, I must try to contain my excitement because I am not here posting to review the game, rather I am posting to review the new Guild Wars 2 Secrets strategy guide. So let's grab our shovels and start to dig beneath all the layers of marketing hype surrounding this new guide and take a look at what it has to offer us Guild Wars 2 players.

Ok, Guild Wars 2 Secrets contains a total of ten strategy guides that are all included in the main package. The main three features are the Power Leveling Guide, the Gold Gatherer's Bible, and the set of Eight Profession Guides. I will break them all down for you and explain the details of each guide below. Let's get started.



The Complete Power Leveling Guide: As the title indicates, this section features a step-by-step power leveling guide. This guide is detailed and includes the specifics on all the quests in Guild Wars 2, which is absolute must-have information if you expect to get anywhere quickly in this game. The optimized quest guide provides the specifics on the location and completion of each quest, which quests provide the most experience gain, or the most valuable loot for your character. The power leveling and quest guide cuts straight to the point and is easy to follow.


The Gold Gatherer's Bible: If you have played Guild Wars before, you probably already know how complex and detailed the games virtual economy is. The gold gatherer's bible really helps to put everything into perspective in an easy to understand way. I found this area of the guide to be full of valuable information on the gaming economics of Guild Wars 2. This guide explains the games trading system and provides trading strategies that you can use to quickly increase your wealth in Guild Wars 2. Aside from the trading post strategies, this guide also contains a detailed monster drop guide that you can use to look up which mobs and areas contain the best loot.




The Complete Profession Guides: This section contains eight profession guides which include all the information you need to know about each of the games eight professions: Guardian, Warrior, Engineer, Ranger, Thief, Elementalist, Mesmer, and Necromancer. The pros and cons of each profession are explained. Included in each guide are Guild Wars 2 builds for each profession, as well as sections on weapon selection, skill mastery, etc. The complete profession guides contain all the necessary information you need that will help you to decide how best to build your character according to your favored playing style.

While Guild Wars 2 is still a very new game, I was impressed with the depth and quality of information that Guild Wars 2 Secrets had to offer. Aside from the awful informercial marketing style techniques used to market this guide, and the somewhat steep price, I don't have much to complain about. I feel that this strategy guide can hold it's own for now and since the guide is also frequently updated it can only get better. I recommend you check it out for yourself by clicking the link below.
