Best SWTOR Leveling Guides - My Comparison

There's actually over a dozen different leveling guides for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Many players have decided to publish one in order to try and help others speed through this game, but not many succeeded in that.

Most guides that I've read are in fact full strategy guides for SWTOR that contain a lot of information about the game, not just limited to leveling, and it's my recommendation that you check those. Having good tips for flashpoints, crafting and other stuff in The Old Republic is helpful, and these guides are usually not more expensive than those that feature only leveling guides.

From all the different guides, in my opinion only two stand out from the crowd. According to other comparisons I've found I'm not wrong in my assessment as others quickly figured out that not all guides are the same. Aeon and Killerguides seem to be the two most recommended guides for SWTOR right now, with many different fansites and forums recommending it.

There are also other guides, like SWTOR Savior, Strife Guide, SWTOR Secrets, and several others, but none of those seems to come close to the Aeon and Killerguide in terms of quality and content.

Unfortunately, most of these guides come at a price. You will have to pay a few bucks in order to access the contents, but in my opinion it's well worth it. There are some free guides available (here and here for example) but those are usually aimed at beginners: while some tips are worth noting, it won't make a significant impact on your leveling speed as other professional, paid guides will.

It's up to you to decide whether Aeon or Killerguides is worth getting, but I read them personally and I can recommend them as the two best guides out there. Their authors are also constantly updating them with new content and also keep it updated with changes coming into new patches, which usually isn't the case with other lower quality ones.
