Wasnt Recording just did a random run :(
July 16 release confirmed.
First time trying a speed run, 1:45:44 on Northdale, could definitely save time if it wasn't as busy :P

I've used greens I found though I avoided chests/rares and vendor greens. The boots I found at level 15 with 3 stam and 3 int made everything a bit easier. I'm uploading the run on my youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFWHCkQthlY7mEeKP0cSxSQ
Insane time est, thanks for recording. Hopefully more people continue to upload their runs.

est very nice, grats! I’ve RIP’d 2x nice pace 10-20 runs this week..
I have a question for you guys :)
I'm not interested in "speedrunning" my first char. I do want to level fairly quickly. I will hopefully have 2 weeks off work if they ever give us a release date!
I was wondering what bracket would you say I should practice to get ahead of most people before I can slow down a little? I've got my 1-10 under 2hrs but still VERY sloppy. I want to polish my 1-10 speed then maybe work a bit on 10-20. Any ideas? I will be going alliance (Sadly). I'll be a dwarf(most likely) paladin, so fairly slow but very little downtime.
If you have your 1-10 under 2 hours and are comfortable with your starting zone, and would be able to adjust if a quest in your route was camped and not worth doing, then you are far ahead of the majority. A couple of 10-20 runs to practice and get familiar with a route would put you well ahead of the pack on launch. You could slow down at that point and level comfortably without dealing with a lot of competition.
Edit: After thinking about it, you should probably aim for 30 before slowing down. That's where your efficiency can take a nosedive due to pvp. Getting there early should set you up for success going forward to 60.
6h 54m 10s
My notes say I can shave ~10m without mistakes and ~10-15m with better Verog/Miner's Fortune RNG...
This is also only the second "complete" run of this route 10-20 (I had two abandons at ~16-17).
E: again, big thanks to Colroyds for all the help with Durotar and Barrens routing, as I said before my times would be much slower without him!
I got 1-6 now 44minutes as Priest. But I think I could safe some minutes at some parts.
Jpy Impressive time under 7h! Good job.

I made like 3 or 4 mins of obvious mistakes so I could get sub 1:45, but my main goal is to route a full 1-60 so I'll probably just leave my time here. I wanted to sacrifice everything past level 10 just to see how low I could get the time. I sold bags and cloth and all that just to buy weapon/armor from vendor sooner. Obviously in a real longer run I won't be doing that. I did a more realistic run before and it was about 1:52 if i remember right. My route for this video is pretty grind heavy after level 5 because the palemane mobs are the best xp/hr until level 10, plus I can do all the quests in the surrounding area in between easily. Hopefully other people upload mulgore speedruns of any class because I'm curious what others do.
And if you are wondering why I'm crazy and am running Tauren Warrior, it's only because that will be my non-speedrun main and I want to level it fast on launch :) ... so yeah my real plan on launch will incorporate far different strategies at times to account for what will and will not likely be viable in the launch chaos.
What Macros do you use and why do you use these macros? I was wondering about the sit macro?
jpy Are you planning on running to 30? I'm curious to see what time you'll be able to pull off with that route.
Massivechonk I'm working on 20-37 but I don't have too much time to invest, unfortunately. I'll post a shot for 30 when I get a suitable route and run.
What Macros do you use and why do you use these macros? I was wondering about the sit macro?
I only was using a /sit macro in the run. All the other macros you saw in my macro window were GM command ones for routing/testing. Obviously later past level 10 there are a lot of beneficial macros to use as a warrior, especially when you are stance dancing more etc. I'm not a good person to ask about those because I am pretty new to warrior and am having to look all this up myself to learn.
