Icy Veins vs Prima Games eGuides

Icy Veins is a gaming guides and news site, with resources for World of Warcraft, Diablo IV and III, Path of Exile, Final Fantasy XIV, and HoYoverse games including Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero. Its material includes strategies, builds, talent trees, and tier lists. The site says its writers curate guides alongside skilled players, top raiders, competitive team members, and streamers, with new content and updates each week and attention to patches and expansions.

A companion desktop app brings World of Warcraft material to the desktop and currently covers Retail WoW. Its Class Codex addon gives in-game recommendations for talents, best-in-slot gear, stats, and rotations. The app runs through the U.GG app platform. A free plan is supported by ads; paid plans remove ads and include WoW masterclass videos and Discord expert help. The app is available for Linux, macOS, Windows, and web. Paid plans start at $3.99/mo (annual).

Prima Games eGuides is a web library of official video-game strategy guides. The archive lists 251 guides and 25,589,130 words of strategy, while a redeem-code page says 256 guides are available in full with a free account. Guides include walkthroughs, maps, collectible checklists, and boss tactics, with full-text search across the collection. Without an account, readers can finish three guides and open the first three sections of other guides; a free account opens every guide in full. Guides work on phones, and checklists remember where a reader stopped. Maps and checklists load inside guide pages from cartographer.gamurs.group, so privacy extensions or networks blocking embedded frames can prevent them from appearing. The store is closed, meaning guides cannot be bought or refunded through the site. Old accounts, owned guides, and purchases were migrated, and sign-in can use an old email or a one-time link expiring after 15 minutes. Available guides were published from 2009 through 2018.
