Extreme leveling

Want to try some extreme leveling and see how far I get but have a few questions before I start.

So going to roll a warrior ( hardest class I have been told ) and going to use the ironman rules with a couple of changes, find the rules on wowchallenges com to find the rules.

A quick sum up of the rules.

only white items, no dungeon runs, no deaths, no buffs, no talents are the main ones.

added to the ironman rules would be these extra ones from the bloodthirsty challenge.

No quests, not even class quests.
no using vendors to buy white items.
no trade skills apart from first aid.

Now I was thinking about doing this with only the Unarmed skill also, but I have no idea how the UA damage works, is there any UA weapon drops at all in classic?

So depending on info about UA weapon skill will decided if its weaponless or not.

the other question is could in theory you get to level 60 without a weapon?

Anyway this is just for kicks and giggles, I think I have a good chance to get out of the starter zone without dying after that who knows lol

Have fun!

10 characters.

They should add an ironman mode of some sort maybe not as extreme as that, but maybe you get a red portrait like a rare or something

There are no weapons for the Unarmed skill because fist weapons are there own skill.

As long as you stick to killing single monsters that are several levels below your level. You will eventually make it to level 60 without dying. just don’t expect to do it within 10 days /played.

I’m lvl 48 now and I believe I haven’t seen a single fist weapon so far…

Good luck on your journey!

ahh right, that makes sense.

So will go with weapons then cheers.

unless ua damage is enough to kill stuff later on?

u know when familys sell their house and say: lets just build a new one and then become homeless and have to sit outside their last job and play classic in car? this will be the same, dont… have a better life…

There are a total of 7 white fist weapons in the game.

The lvl 10 fist weapons are bought off of a vendor in orgrimmar / darnassus / ironforge

The same for the lvl 20 ones

The lvl 29 one is a drop in SM

The lvl 30 ones are the same vendors again

No white fist weapons beyond lvl 30

buffs from yourself is not forbidden.
unarmend is going by no weaps , dont think that is going to work.
also the rule not buying white armor or weaps from vendors , i have my doubts about that one.

maybe at some point i gonna give it a go as a hunter but i def gonna do the class questies

I’m quite sure you can’t use any abilities if you’re not wielding a weapon. Getting disarmed is effectively a silence for rogues and warriors from what I remember. Would save you a nice amount of money on abilities though :wink:

Very cool idea. I feel as if by STV you simply won’t be able to 1v1 mobs, even crappy ones.

Make us proud

The funny part is that following just this and constantly attacking enemy NPCs that are either yellow or toward green is the key to level fast outdoors, and not by questing. I’d even say that some players doing the ironman challenge will level faster than for instance me who takes my time exploring since it’s my first “vanilla” experience. Best of luck!

That’s correct. Almost all abilities require a melee weapon. You can only autoattack with your bare fists while disarmed.

AFAIK there’s a challenge to reach level 60 only by killing boars. Not sure about any other conditions though. To OP: have fun! And keep us updated with a progress :wink:

I am almost certain that you, or anyone for that matter, will not have the patience required to do this.

It would be the single most frustrating, boring experience because you will have to kill mobs 3-4 levels below you to guarantee that you won’t die from overpulling and your exp per hour will be abysmal.

Why do you hate yourself? :frowning:

Wait, you’re actually talking about GRINDING your way to 60, on a Warrior, with no spec, using your fists using just one single autoattack ability, no talents (all of which require a weapon)… in Classic?

Yeah good luck :astonished:

You are allowed to wear armor of some kind, right? I mean you’re not going to do it naked or anything…?

So, no berserker stance and therefore no whirlwind.

Mobs beyond ~10lvl don’t drop white items.

No, not even grey ones.

If you farm neutral mobs of your level or lower, then yes, you will get out. But that’s about as far as you will get. You will find it impossible to beat a mob your level beyond ~15lvl with the rules you’re using.

Absolutely not. Unarmed weapon is so low you won’t even be able to kill a same-level mob even if the rest of your gear was full-epic.

thank you for your reply,

so going UA seems a big no then.

I didn’t know about no white drops later on, that’s a shame as was hoping to not use the venders, maybe will have to use the venders then???

now that sounds fun, abit south park-ish lol
