No more than 12 seconds are needed for a dungeon in World of Warcraft – at least when you use all available tricks.
In WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria we have already seen some insane records. It’s not surprising, given that the stats of the heroes keep escalating to ridiculous heights.
However, with some records, you do have to blink in confusion and take a closer look at how this is actually possible. For instance, the rough record of the dungeon “Scholomance,” completed in under 12 seconds.
What kind of record is this? It’s a record in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. Here, speedrunners try to push the absurd possibilities of this game mode to their limits, utilizing several game mechanics and some glitches to complete dungeons as quickly as possible.
This has already led to absurd successes, such as a visit to the Temple of the Jade Serpent, which took just 21 seconds.
How is this possible? This is made possible by a combination of several factors. Firstly, “Conzil” plays a Demon Hunter. They benefit massively from increased movement speed due to their mastery and are already an extremely mobile class.
Additionally, most of the record-holders use a test account for World of Warcraft. This limits the maximum level to 20, but the character stats continue to increase because of the artifact cloak. This means that level 20 characters in scaled game content – like dungeons – are often more powerful than characters at the maximum level.
Much more importantly, the Demon Hunter has a double jump and the gliding ability. This allows the character to jump onto a torch at the start of the dungeon, and from there glitch through the wall. Using the Chi-Jo socket, he can then move through the dungeon at lightning speed (or rather: beneath it) and land precisely in the room of the final boss: Darkmaster Gandling.
The final boss has very little to counter against that, so after 11.60 seconds the final boss is dead and the dungeon is completed. This may not be the most efficient way to farm bronze, but it is certainly a very impressive feat.
