Lightbringer server
1-10 duo (Dwarf Pally/Dwarf Warrior)
2h23m but I'm pretty sure we can save about 15 or so minutes. Forgot to pick up quests and died to the troll shamans as well as the Elite Yeti glitching and not dropping the quest item.

Went well, wasn't too many people playing at the time. Got super lucky with bag drops, last run I only had 2 by level 10.
@jagersmash @Kup & Nzed, how is it with starting bag drops? Is it somewhat consistent?
Dunno. I haven't killed anything yet. And will likely only kill about 20-30 mobs in total prior to levle 10.
Going to be starting a 1-30 run in about 45 min if anyone is interested - twitch.tv/kupkhayqe
I haven't killed anything yet.
How efficient is the fedex 1-10 looking?
Back then TBC was released Blizzard and Dreamhack hosted a competition to level to 10 as fast as possible. I love speedrunning and wanted to bring this back to vanilla WoW.
With the announcement of the extra stress test on May 29 I am going to host a small leveling competition that anyone who has a test-invite is welcome to participate in. The max 5 test worked pretty well during the second day and if this works just as well we can bring some content to those of us who don't have 'proper' beta invites.
The servers will again be up past the stress test until 4 p.m. PDT (01:00 CEST) so I'll host it at 21:00 CEST (noon PDT) which will give you some time to practice and enough time to enjoy the ending of the test (rag, thrall in SW is a cool experience and crowded when they collapse the layers).
To make things fair at the start of the competition a naming scheme will be announced. To be eligible to win, create a character within the requested naming scheme, of the announced race, and in case we are are in different layers make sure to grab a screencap with your /played
So:
If you have a Stress Test beta -
May 30th, noon PDT/21:00 CEST
Race will be decided before stress test begins
Wait until naming scheme announced before starting
I'll foot in with a plushie of your choise from the blizz store for the winner, and if anyone else wants to chip something in, feel free. I created a new Discord server where you can keep up to date with the final race and naming choise: https://discord.gg/cEafv2
I hope to see you there!
Edit: Poll for starting zone
Edit2: Poll closed! Dun Morogh won!
I am really bad at discord, so I had to make a new linkk that doesn't expire right away: https://discord.gg/tWUG4qD
1h26m Dwarf Hunter 1-10 on repack

Classic can't come soon enough
night elf hunter 1-20 7h,37m
beta
my 2nd run and it was sloppy
can easily cut off 10-20 minutes, probably can reach as low as 7h (depending on other ppl at that time).
even with low drop beta times are very comparable to repack there is still some competition so times here are a bit mroe frustrating since respawns are exceptionally bad. 2 people can farm an entire area of quest mobs pretty easily so it is very much necessary to prio these quests first -- unlike repack core, beta has very fast respawn on named mobs and almost instant object respawns
@ahmp Nice to see a /played similar to what we can get on private. All the streamers are pushing the narrative that everything will be so much slower but I disagree. The respawns can be a problem in some areas but special mob and item respawn being much faster makes up for it most of them time.
I only have stress test but I've leveled a few time to 10 so far and my /playeds are also similar, a little but slower but that's because I have to skip a few good quests and grind instead

Final EDIT:
Create a character with a name that includes the phrase: 'fast'
The race starts now
Interesting. I might have to use these results to show a friend that leveling with a partner actually takes longer then it does solo. He is adamant that we will sit down to eat less, bandage etc and kill mobs quicker together.
I just remember vanilla not being very rewarding to people who leveled together other then killing an elite or a named mob. Doing quests where you have to collect items from mobs will take 3x as long I imagine.

The people who actually practiced and have developed routes/get in servers ASAP aren’t going to be far behind their repack times, general popular streamers just aren’t as good at speed leveling as they think they are. :/
Sup everyone! Hope everyone is doing fine and if not, I hope it gets better! The 2h04 could have been better by a 5-10 minutes but with everyone there playing with you and all decisions you need to make, can't really make better. Posted so it can give a rough ideas to some of us! Cheers
