Obviously its a simplistic view of leveling when it comes to 3/minute, but I simply figured i'd use it as a baseline for how fast that level takes in very good circumstances, obviously you account for area and grind otherwise, but if it should take 70min killing equal mobs and it takes 2hours, then you can most likely find a lot of things that can be improved upon almost instantly.

There are certain areas like 28-30 as horde where its seemingly mostly green quests&mobs unless you do few quests to advance those chains and start killing mobs without a negative experience modifier, and thats when I feel grinding is far superior, there are a lot of caves on classic atm that has incredibly high respawn rate, you clear like half of it or so as hunter and it starts backspawning already. Examples of those caves are both caves in Stonetalon (Kobold in south and Windshear Crag mine) and also harpy cave in Thousand Needles. Also the Demon area in ashenvale is proving pretty good when it comes to raw kill exp at those levels, just awful drops instead

Managed to hit 1:56 at last..but I can see why you have so much money, finding a bag from like the first lvl 3 mobs lol. Your route is also very different from mine I can see. I never ding 6 before hitting BH village, but you're just as fast there as I am basically, gotta see if I can improve on that..

I'll run this route a few more times (also without a bag, to see if it makes that much of a difference in time). But I don't think a few more minutes will make a major difference. With the release of classic it will be too crowded for a sub-2hr run I feel. I'm going to focus on the 10-20 leveling more from now on I think, because I feel thats where you'll really be able to get 'ahead' of the pack :)

The local repack I try stuff on still has rested xp on which is annoying, can anyone clarify how to disable it? I know this is on the top of the post, but can anyone specify exactly which file it is and the directory path to it? I dont have the server up myself so I need to forward this to the guy who does.

Ctrl + F to search for these values (in the Mangos config file):
https://puu.sh/CtOOo/7ca7a94738.png
Set all 3 values to 0.

MaNGOS is the folder where the unzipped pack is located, "mangosd.conf" is the file you want to edit - it's directly in that folder. Edit the values of the lines without the "#" at the start.

Thanks, we got it working.
Can work on my 1-40 in a slow nice pace now :)

Last 1-10 screenshot for now. Will be moving to 10-20 next. Route went perfect, there was some competition (which is expected to be worse at launch ofcourse). But, Classic WoW beta, Tauren druid 1-10 in 1 hour and 48 minutes.

Leaderboards updated!

Topic already has 40+k views! Good job everyone and keep it coming!

Using the GM command ".god off" (which is the command shown in the screenshot) is fine because characters on admin accounts on repacks by default cannot die, and leaving godmode on would make for an unfair run. The command serves to make the run closer to an actual server run. I'd say that his run counts.

But if its shown there, doesnt it mean that before dinging he had god on?

Several people use a macro that has ".god off /played", like @Jokerdtv does in his runs, just so they don't forget to turn it off when they checked their played each level. It displays "Mode [GOD]: OFF" even if god mode is already off when you press it. I doubt @SlyngeL cheated, you can see him using the macro in his 1-10 video.

Alright, thats probably the case. Thanks for clarifying.

Can confirm.

Looks like Loch Modan to Darkshore and back again isn't too bad

Is it on classic beta or private or repack server?

Ooh nice run dude!
Question: are u using any macros to target ur last target and shoot etc? if so do you mind sharing? u have a very nice 1-6 run ^^ keep it up.

Yes

1.12 client: /script TargetLastTarget()
1.13 client: /targetlasttarget

Also use a pet attack mouseover:

1.12 client:
/script if UnitCanAttack("player","mouseover") then TargetUnit("mouseover");PetAttack();TargetUnit("playertarget"); else PetAttack(); end
/cast Dash
/cast Dive

Haven't made one for the beta (cause I'm not in), but it's not hard to find one with a tiny bit of googling

Got back to the hunter thing again... really thought about the mage aoe grind stuff but i think its too risky on release date.
Did the cooking quest and mostly just standard Alameth-Starbreeze-Banethil routing, which isnt really that hard if u grind enough random mobs before you go in there. Most of the times i kite mobs around trees and then they die easy.

I dont know about aegnor, but bornlesszero who does druid speedrunning through teldrassil got videos on youtube for his full runs. JokerdTV got videos of dun morogh mage speedrunning and judgement has paladin videos of elwynn forest. depending on your class these routes may ofc be modified.

Don't forget about meee! I'm the new kid on the block, ready to shake up the old guard ;)

Hey Guys,

here is my second try 1-30 on wow beta. The first one was about 31h. I think i can do it in 26h in the next run. I always train first aid, alchemy and herbalism.
Normaly i need about 2h 1-10 and 11h 1-20 (didnt have screenshot)
Some other Shamans also trying speedleveling? Plz share ur data :)

That’s good tbh!

Yeah thats a pretty good time Towely! First try was also a Tauren Shaman?

Yes, also a Tauren Shaman. I played one back in the good old days :)

1-10 Hunter Kronos 1. It is a really slow run but I had to represent, LOL

Light's Hope just announced that they will be opening "Silver Hand", a fresh 1.12 server with all content unlocked at launch, on June 22. Will the experience of trying to speedlevel there differ much from how it is on Northdale already? Northdale is already grossly crowded even in the starter zones, and having a 60 main doesn't help you much when you're first logging in at lvl 1.

I'd assume just at the first few days when everyone starts out. I personally won't be trying it out, but I guess you will be able to compare it to the official stresstests?

Yo mate, i uploaded a 1h29m run with my mage on youtube too! :D

Well since the majority of the 1-20 speedruns listed for the repack are hunter and mage, here is a shaman at 8 hours (8h0m46s). Leveling 1-15 was a breeze, but Shaman is actually somewhat tough from 15-20. Could easily shave off 10-15 minutes without the deaths and moments of indecision. Should be smooth sailing 20-25 with a new weapon and ghost wolf. I'll just link the 15-20 video as I think it's the most interesting, but the rest of the vids are on my channel.

Yeah I will try my new route on there, it's not gonna be the same as beta because of dynamic respawns, but it's as close as you can get without the real thing.

Tried again pushing a little harder, avoiding meaningless deaths, and improved to 1.53 at least, but 1.48 seems out of my league for sure. Didn't get any bag drops this time either so hoping I can burn all the bad luck beforehand and then swim in bags for launch haha..
