Witcher leveling challenge ! Hope you like it

So, I wanted to try a wow leveling challenge, and i thought that a witcher-like challenge would be cool so i googled for it, however to my suprise there was nothing like that: so i decided to do it myself! (Btw role-play addons and roleplaying in general is suggested during this challenge).

Rules:

  • You may only take alchemy and herbalism as a professions, you can use everything you create. (no secondary profs too)
  • You may only play as a: Arms Warrior in mail armor (gryphon school), Subtlety Rogue (cat school), Assassination Rogue (viper school) or Protection Warrior with plate armor and without a shield (wolf school). You may only use swords or daggers in all those choices. Rogue can’t use stealth or a off-hand weapon.
  • You cannot die.
  • No sending items from main character.
  • You CAN trade with other people and use the auction house. However, you can’t buy bags from players.
  • You may only ride a horse.
  • You need to finish the lore of every zone you go to and start questing there (do all quest chains there).
  • You can’t group up with other people, you are a lone wolf.
  • If a player crafts you an item (for your mats) you have to pay him the crafted items ilvl/2 - 5 gold. (other players are like npcs to you)
  • You may only be a human.
  • No xp boosts. (wm off)
  • No PVP.
  • No rare items unless it’s a set item of a set that you wear.
  • You can only have : head, chest , legs, boots, hands and a weapon (enchants allowed, payment as for items)( no cloak too)
  • You can equip alchemy items (eg. philosopher’s stone) but you need to create them yourself, you can’t buy mats for them.
  • Talents are allowed.
  • If a player saves you from death you must give him all your gold.

What do you guys think ? Too hard/too easy ? Share your thoughts on how to improve it !

Every time I’ve tried one of these things I died because of something so stupid I ended up growing another arm just to permanently facepalm myself. This would be one hell of a challenge but definitely doable, could be alot of fun.

You should add “must have white hair” too :wink:

And why exactly head is allowed? :joy:

Yea i thought about white hair, but some withcers (like Lambert) had black hair so i guess its up to you what type of a witcher you want to be

Those challenges might be fun after level squish. Imagine doing any of these (iron man etc) with 120 lvl cap. no thanks

I like challenges like this…

I have almost tried everyone of those that gets listed - But I am not very good, so I die a lot :smile:

I think it’s a challenge that can be done :+1:

Edit:

If you look at my profile, this is how I play this one… I am questing in Zuldazar with this one right now (the avatar for the forum haven’t caught up yet)

In the witcher 3 you could equip a head armor piece, for example Tesham Mutna armor set had a head piece in it

I’m not sure how you’d go about trying to do this as your starting equipment is all plate now (unless you’re thinking of doing this challenge in Classic). Run around in your undies until you get some lucky drops/coppers to buy something from a vendor?

Do Kul Tiran’s and Worgen count? They are technically human.

Starting gear gives so little armor that it can be considered wearable, this challenge isn’t intented to any game version , can be done both on retail and classic. Yes kul’tiran and worgen count as long as you don’t use worgen form

How would an assassination rogue work if they cant even use mutilate?

It’s supposed to be hard, they can use sinister strike with even 1 weapon i think ?

They lose sinister strike as soon as they change spec

really ? i leveled a rogue and at lvl 11 in assassination i had sinister strike still

Sinister strike is replaced by mutilate for assass rogues.

Well…

Gamebreaker for me. I’m out. :nerd_face:

You lost me at “must be a human”.

its ideas like these that i would not mind some “controlled” modding in wow.

imagine a server for leveling mods? you create a char and pick a “path/challenge” like ironman, harcore version, or stuff like these (where you pick a school)

since it would not have access to raids/dungs as retail and other players, stuff could be changed like lets say scarlet monestary being non-elites so you could complete the story solo. maybe even raids as u would use potions/flasks/food and basicly had to do mechanics or die.

imagine entering onyxia lair and u had to collect suff for fire resist elixir or maybe even collect 1 or 2 fire resist gear from side quests like helping a dragonslayer get revenge from a dragonkin that ripped his leg off and in return the slayer would give u his chest he used to resist dragon fire.

sky is the limit, you could even set full RP storylines in this modd server

Modding WoW would be a dream come true, blizzard should really just give an offline WoW version and let players go crazy with it.

can there be a horde version as well? dont fancy playing alliance right now.

this kinda ruins it for me because of how skills/things work in game. its not a bad idea per se though.
