Good initiative, we are a couple of vanilla speedrunners who have had a discord for quite some time now. If you are serious about speedrunning and interested in joining then shoot me a message at discord (Soyoen#9589).

Wow, that’s one hell of a quick run to 30. Will get you added in when I get a chance and I’ll get in touch for Discord information soon. Care to share your level 10 and 20 times as well so I can add you for those?

Hey guys, will you be able to share the NE hunter vids from 1-20 or 30? If this is not some secret you are trying to keep for yourselves for launch ofc. I’m also rolling a NE hunt for classic and i have some problems when transitioning from Darkahore to eastern kingdoms and could use some guidance on that. Thanks!

I have a guide coming out soon, there will be a 1-19 out early for our patrons and a full 1-60 guide before classic launches.
I do have vids but don't upload them because Blizz has been heavy with the banhammer of late.

I know exactly what you mean about going Darkshore to eastern kingdoms. I recommend sticking to Darkshore until 20 then using cheetah to expedite travel to redridge :)

Can i have a link to your patreon? :)

What is your exact issues with transitioning from darkshore?

Generaly i usualy finish darkshore around lvl 17-18. So do i stay and grind, or do i go ashenvale and hit 20 there, or go straight to eastern kingdoms. Which quest do i pick up first to make it the most efficient? Thanks for the reply

@Alenya how would I go about doing that?

I'll ask and get back to you as another member of the team does the dev work

Here's where the code is to change it:



I tested this on my private repack and it seemed to work. The variables can be found in the ./mangosd.conf file. You need to set all 3 values to 0 and then run your server as normal. I tested this by logging out of a character in an inn for 40 minutes and it gained no rested XP. Not sure if that's due to the changes I made to the config, or if the time resolution for batch updates to rested XP is larger than 40 minutes. Hope this helps!

If you actually found the values, which it seems you did, then I don’t see why this wouldn’t work. Thank you!

Thanks, i have been modifying the datebase to remove rested experience instead, but this is way more convinient.

Got into speedrunning just yesterday, but a long way to go I guess :mrgreen:
1-10 as troll Hunter following Joannas guide took me 3 hrs 8 minutes.

Was playing on ND though and there is still a pretty big population in the starting area, so it might be a bit faster with sharding.

Noticed that Zalazane quest on echo isles is incredible hard to do without interrupt at level 9 smth, so I might skip that one in my next try.
Never playing a hunter before didnt help much too, but without pet its not difficult to play.

@FTHforever Dont worry, the first runs might be rough but you will learn fast, I promise! Find a good video or route, practice it by segments (1-6, 6-10) and you will get it memorized in no time. I didnt even need to look into my notes after 2 evenings of practice, and even if you stopped at that, you'd still be a lot faster than the majority of people at launch :) Also feel free to modify it to your needs, Zalazane is indeed hard, maybe I'd look for inspiration in some speedrun videos.

I don't leave Darkshore until level 20, a combination of levelling and grinding. Then I head to Loch Modan and do a few quests there on the way to IF and then to SW/Redridge. Once I've done Redridge quests, I hearth back to Darkshore and move onto Ashenvale from there.

FTHforever Really Sticky Glue helps a lot with the Voodoo Trolls that heal at 50% and the Hexxed Trolls can be handled easily with kiting. Just be aware of what’s around.

Speaking of really sticky glue: I saw a couple of runners use at least 5 of them while doing 6-10. Is that alright, or are there better uses for glue later?

Will do some more testing, anyone tried 1-10 without any questing btw? I mean its lvl*10 mobs per level that are your level iirc, so could still be pretty fast.
