Leaderboards updated!
Added 1-20 in classic beta section.
hey guys, what are the respawn time on quest items on beta like? for example the tools in the dwarven starter zone or the antidote ingredients in shadowglen?
1-10 as an undead priest on classic's stress test
I made a LOT of mistakes on this run, it could probably be down to 2hrs 15m or so by just removing those mistakes :)
My time was: 2hrs 43m

Quest items are quite fast respawn on the classic beta, I would say it's less then 1 minute but Im not 100% sure. These quests are usually worth doing compared to private where they had very long respawns and were impossible to do.
It's the same for named quest mobs like Princess or Garrick Proudfoot in Elwynn, less then 1 minute respawn.
Is layering introduced in beta?
How congested are/were starting zones?
If layering will stick to 3k people per layer as announced then it means "only" ~500 players per starting zone.
Much more manageable than any popular private server launch. This should make regular quest order better for speedrunning than any fedex /exploration routes or grouping to grind higher lvl mobs. Of course still could make sense to skip some quests with heavily camped objective not to waste time.
Do you agree?
1- 30 Beta PvE Server
Horde Druid
Time: 1 Day 35 min.
Did this in two sittings. No rested - did not log out in an inn.
Notable difference from private servers: ARMOR!! As a druid, youre hitting things for like 20 in bear form at level 15. It's very frustrating. Harpies in Barrens comes to mind as the most annoying armor wise. Probably took me an hour to do that quest line total.
I think I can shave about 2 hours off by grinding a lot more in the early 20s. Running around between ashenvale/barrens/stonetalon is so inefficient.
How efficient is the fedex 1-10 looking?
Mediocre. Fairly slow. 3:54 (I can get it down to 3:30, some inaccuracies) - but I had literally 0 competition outside of 1 quest that took 11 mintues.

I'm still a fan of the option, but gotta fine-tune it. Still a fine choice if there's 100 people in your zone.

Yes, during the start of the stress test when there was the maximum amount of people online I was still able to do most of the starting area quest in a decent time. You need to be sharp with your tagging skills though, or grouping with someone for better chances to tag. If you can just reach 4 or maybe 5 you can leave starting area and start combine some of the easier quests with grinding and you should be good.
I've been watching some streams lately and i've seen a couple of speedrunners which have a timer running on a part of their screen comparing their current time against their personal best. Is this an addon or some standalone program outside of wow?
Pretty new to speedrunning. I don't really have much of route for 1-10 in durotar. Been following Joana's guide but want to get a good 1-10 down for release so I can beat the pack at least before I have to go to bed and work the next day.
Do you guys have any good suggestions on routes etc?
Classic Beta
Gnome Mage 1-10
1 hour, 39 minutes
Overcapped by 822 and had to wait out a full respawn for bears, first time doing this route and easy 5 mins to save next time.

There isn't a route that can guarantee you getting a head of the pack from 1 to 10. You can get a speedrunning route to use as baseline for the rest of your route.
However, as far as 1-10 at launch goes you should make yourself familiar with all the quests in the zone and figure out what you need to do depending on the situation you end up in.

https://livesplit.org/ They have a good tutorial there that is worth watching.

Yeah essentially that's what I have been doing. Memorizing all the quests and doing them efficiently as possible. I've got a baseline of 1-10 in 3 hours in Durotar on Northdale which is insanely crowded right now. Will keep trying to shave off sometime.
EDIT (didn't want to make separate post):
- Night Elf Druid
- 1hr 53m
- Lightbringer
- 2min quicker can easily get below 1hr 50m messed up by not filling up a Phial.
OLD POST:
- Night Elf Druid
- 1hr 55m

First time timing 1-10, shadowglen was busy everything after had 1-2 people.
