Insane WoW World Record: Level 70 in 48 Minutes!!

Recommended Posts

Clipboard02.jpg
 

Well, Mists of Pandaria Remix is breaking all kinds of barriers in WoW. From being the first event of its kind in the game, to the many transmogs players are getting, crazy powerful characters, and now our fastest level 70 ever!

Well, sort of. Previously leveling went from 1 to max level, but in Remix players start at 10. But considering just how fast 1-10 goes it's pretty much negligible. But enough introing, how did this happen??

Shiekrunner managed to get to level 70 in 48 minutes and 30 seconds. Yep. That is a thing that happened. But it wasn't JUST the crazy leveling speeds of Remix that got the job done, however. There was a whole guild behind the Demon Hunter, some old-school prep including pet battles, and more! The entire run is recorded and ready to watch below, but let's go through just what was involved in getting this crazy speed done.

This certainly wasn't a 1-man operation, as Shiekrunner had a 9-player group from the Tatortreiniger guild behind him helping out, downing raid bosses and getting them ready for him to loot the XP. The group consisted of five ilvl 476-ish players, one 380, and, of course, a level 20 Monk pushing the dungeons! In said dungeons a Demon Hunter was running skips in Scarlet Halls and Temple of the Jade Serpent (which some may frown upon, as it's ye-olde creative use of game mechanics, aka jumping through and around walls) and the rest go on branching paths for optimal XP.

They did this running random Heroics for the bonus XP, avoiding grabbing the XP items and saving them for later. And boy, the later was quite something, as Shiekrunner gathered up 333% bonus XP and skyrocketed from level 47 to 61 in a couple of seconds.

And then, quite a few more dungeons later and some picking up the of the pre-cleared raid XP, the moment had arrived. Level 70!

In case you're wondering about the video length, a few of the raids were fast forwarded. And here's a more detailed breakdown of everything that went into the record, as Shiekrunner gave us a bit of an interview on the process:

We achieved this as a coordinated group consisting of 9 players. Here's a detailed breakdown of our strategy and team composition:

Dungeon Team:
Shiekrunner (me) - The leveling character
Nöxyi-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Cémix - Level 20 Monk
Lethestes-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 343
Permokremixx-Steamwheedle Cartel

Raid Team:
Leonie-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Vashalla-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Lunites-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Nöxyi-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Gadriel-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 470
Lethestes-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 380
Shiekrunner (me) - The leveling character

Dungeon Strategy
For Scarlet Halls and Temple of the Jade Serpent, our Demon Hunter, Nöxyi-Blackmoore, performed speedrun skips. This allowed our Monk and DH to take branching paths for simultaneous boss kills.

Permokremixx had to create a new character each time we entered a raid  to keep us all under level 20 and avoid the slow dungeon, Stormstout Brewery.

We also had an additional player for instant queues into the dungeon and miscellaneous tasks, such as protecting the leveling character and trading items like gems.
Permokremixx and Lethestes queued as tank and healer, respectively, so our DH and Monk didn’t need to change specs every time we joined a dungeon.

Because of our optimizations, we could still queue for random heroics but only got the following good dungeons:

Temple of the Jade Serpent
Scholomance
Scarlet Monastery
Scarlet Halls

We were hoping to get Temple of the Jade Serpent and Scarlet Halls as often as possible as they were the fastest with the skips.

Raid Strategy

The players not participating in the dungeon were already inside the raid, clearing up to the first boss. This stacked the XP bonus, allowing us to finish with a 333% XP boost. At level 25, we joined Mogu'shan Vaults; at level 35, we moved to Heart of Fear; and at level 40, we entered Terrace of Endless Spring.

One tactic we used was avoiding looting most of the XP bonus items from dungeons, opting to have them sent by mail instead. We made sure to loot the Threads of Experience for additional XP% whenever possible. We then opened these items when we had our full XP potential, allowing us to level up 15 levels in around 10 seconds with a 333% increased XP boost.

Our guild, Tatortreiniger on Blackmoore, with fully geared MoP Remix characters and high-level cloaks, played a crucial role by sitting inside raids and clearing the raids fast.

Preparation Prior to the Run
Preparation included completing specific account-wide pet battle dailies on a non timerunning character that can be turned in on another character at any time via the quest log or more efficiently by using this macro:

/run local info; for i=1, C_QuestLog.GetNumQuestLogEntries() do info = C_QuestLog.GetInfo(i) if info and info.isAutoComplete then ShowQuestComplete(info.questID) end end
(This will turn in any quest that you can turn in via your quest log.)


So giant congratulations on this incredible feat, and there's even hints of it being improved on! And in case this wasn't insane enough for you, as Shiekrunner himself says, there is a potential 5-10 minute improvement possible, since this was the group's first real run of this strategy.

Be sure to check out more from Shiekrunner and the guild:

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!

      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
