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.

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.
