Level 60 only by killing wild boars. After 14 years, a player has turned this joke into reality in WoW Classic.
Some of you may still remember the “South Park” episode that featured World of Warcraft. The kids wanted to play WoW in the episode “Make Love, Not Warcraft” (link to the episode), but someone “without a life” was terrorizing the game. They couldn’t level up because the nasty guy kept killing them. There was only one solution: Stay in the starting area and kill wild boars all day long to slowly reach level 60.
What was once a joke and not considered a solid strategy has now been done by a player in WoW Classic.
Who did it? We’re talking about the streamer and YouTuber Dr Five, who took on this mammoth task. With his dwarf hunter “Quilboarman” and his loyal hunter pet “Aggamagan”, Dr Five set out on this mission and played “secretly” to achieve this goal.
How long did it take? The entire journey from level 1 to level 60 took quite a bit of life and game time. Dr Five spent over 9 days and 18 hours of pure game time killing all kinds of wild boars in the game world to only gather XP from them. While he does not completely stick to the South Park template, where Cartman and Co. only kill pigs in the starting area, that would not even be possible in WoW Classic.
By the way, Dr Five did this completely alone and claims not to have joined any group – as otherwise someone could have killed something other than a pig and ruined the success.
More than 10,000 pigs from different areas had to die for Dr Five to achieve his goal – luckily, he was not wrongfully banned for this monotonous play style.
How do the viewers react: In the WoW Classic subreddit, there is a lot of support and praise for this achievement. In the comments on YouTube, however, praise mixes with some criticism that may also be ironic. For example:
“Please don’t upload this video, you’re wasting the planet’s resources.”
But also “What a waste of time,” to which Dr Five simply responds, “True.”
What do you think of this action? Cool and persistent that someone really did it? Or wasted life and complete nonsense?
