This Naked Warrior Took 9 Months to Hit 60 Solo and Hardcore

Reddit user Historical-Warning88 has shared their journey on World of Warcraft’s Hardcore servers, leveling a Warrior named “Onepunchwarr” to 60 with no gear, no weapons, and no help.

This update comes just over two months after they first hit level 50, a milestone we covered earlier.

This challenge is made possible for Warriors as they can use Bloodthirst iconBloodthirst without a weapon equipped, and several talents that enhance auto-attacks. This, alongside multiple consumables and buffs, made for a painstaking grind on green-level mobs, with the player needing to eat to heal after every pull.

The Hardcore addon confirmed this achievement.

Video Proof? No Problem!

The player has since share two videos, showing the highlights across the full leveling journey.

The second video is a time-lapse of the final 10 levels, totaling 141 hours of pure grind!

Other WoW Challenges

Hardcore WoW has often been associated with self-imposed rules, with players choosing to add additional challenges beyond simply not dying. Some of these challenges prevent players from using talents, completing quests, trading, grouping with others (later added to official servers as the Self-Found mode), and some challenges even restrict the use of gear.

Have you taken on any of these, or other, additional channels while playing Hardcore WoW?
