This looks cool! I'll be keepin an eye on it.
Going to transition to focusing my efforts on closed server runs and try to start working on a much much more grind emphasizing route. I will first run the current route with a few changes from my most recent notes to get a time that’s unaffected by spawn contention and PvP so I have a starting point to compare with. I suppose I’ll add a table for closed server times at some point as well.
Time to add an alliance run as well :)

Oof just seconds off of 1st place! Great time Alenya and welcome to BC!
@Alenya Good run, is this one on Northdale or a closed server? Will get you on the leaderboard when I have a moment!
Cheers and thanks for the welcome - on Northdale
Updated leaderboards. Will try to work on screenshot compilation for first post tonight, want to give another run on closed server a try. Had a really good pace and goofed at Kolkars.
E: Goofed second run as well, finished everything up until the last turn in and didn’t set my hearth apparently. Shame shame shame. ~2h 15m pace, still need to improve.
Northdale 20 in 9h 4m
Good run Alenya very nice level 20 time. People have been telling me that NE to 20 was pretty quick but I haven’t done any alliance runs whatsoever. Will add this to the leaderboard when I get time!

Cheers, there's not a lot of solid alliance side material levelling wise, I wrote my plan a while ago. Had a few issues with Northdale's janky mob mechanics!
Alenya the fastest run I’ve heard of was kritten/journey who was Northdale’s server first 60 as a NE Hunter in ~3 days 7 hours. Unfortunately, it’s very hard to find much information on his run. :/
E: Updated leaderboards.
Journey had some good strats and it will be fun to go up against him at Classic launch. But you can't have Northdale stats as a comparison as the server has a lot of non Vanilla mechanics. The drop rates on all loot is about 10x higher, quest drop rate is much higher, mob density is maxed out, dynamic respawn is on, mob armour is higher, health and mana/focus regen is higher. I think from memory the quest XP for level 30 and up was adjusted down to the right levels for Northdale though.
Alenya dynamic respawn is only active when a certain amount of people are within a certain area IIRC, and yea the 30+ quests aren’t with TBC values on Northdale (that was one of it’s big features at launch). Can’t confirm or deny the other points but that’s unfortunate that we don’t have a perfect replica, but that’s the point of classic I suppose (even then, it won’t be 100%). I’m quite sure we’ll see times much faster than Joana’s judging by his route and play style.
Kup Nice time m8, will get you added when I get a chance. Glad to see some people sharing their times.
E: Updated.
sub 2hr time
Awesome!
