Records are currently being broken in WoW Classic. The record for reaching level 60 the fastest has been broken twice – and each time by a significant margin.
Currently, not much is happening in both the Retail version of World of Warcraft and WoW Classic. Many players are using this time to tackle challenges and complete new records. While in Retail, “Mythic+” dungeons are being completed at insane heights, level records are being shattered in WoW Classic.
A player has now reached the maximum level in just under 2 days of pure gameplay.
48 Hours Without Help to Level 60
What happened? The player TommySalami set an insane record. He reached the maximum level in World of Warcraft Classic in just 48 hours and 17 minutes, setting a new record by a wide margin.
He did not seek help from other players but leveled entirely on his own. This included not only solo dungeon visits but also a lot of AoE farming, sometimes at “secret” spots. For instance, towards the end, he took over the hidden troll village in Darkshore and killed thousands of celebrating trolls.
For comparison: The first player to reach level 60 in WoW Classic, Jokerd, took nearly 4 days to do so. Jokerd was also a mage who leveled significantly through AoE farming. However, at that time he could also exploit the frequent layer changes to never have to wait for respawns.
36 Hours With Help to Level 60
Another record broken: Just a few hours ago, another record was broken in the “Aided” category. Here, players utilize the help of others during speed leveling, such as being pulled through dungeons or receiving a particularly large number of items that can then be exchanged with quest givers.
Here you can see him farming Zul Gurub:
The streamer Zeegers made it to the maximum level in 36 hours. A large part of his leveling consisted of tagging (meaning attacking and “securing for himself”) enemies and having other players, who were not in his group, kill the enemies. He also spent a lot of time in Zul Gurub. He completed the last two levels alone by turning in quests – specifically coins and trinkets from the raid.
What do you think of such records? Impressive and cool? Or just a waste of life?
